Chapter 183 The starry sky under the clouds
If there is no terrain or cover that can slow the opponent down, even a mage will be very difficult. If you are in a different place, if you are standing from the defender's perspective and dealing with a single-knife high-speed sled, the best way may be to use magic to impose obstacles on its forward track, forcing the sled to turn or slow down.
But this approach is actually very passive. First of all, from the process of casting to the effect of the spell, the sled can be freely diverted. A driver who has experience in fighting the caster or even himself is a caster can easily avoid most of the rough blocking.
Secondly, changing the terrain to intercept vehicles is also extremely unprofitable in terms of energy consumption. If the energy required to destroy the sled is one, then the energy consumption required to affect the terrain in order to make it be destroyed may be three or even five. On this basis, consider the risk of being avoided, temporary spell casting will become an extremely cost-effective behavior.
Of course, the premise of being difficult to intercept is that the mage is not well prepared for the intruders and the opponent has a very clear magical confrontation strategy. If the target is only the cavalry or other high-speed assault soldiers of the secular human army, then there are still many ways for the caster to cause them to suffer heavy losses.
After all, no matter what size of battle it is, when both sides are casters, the tactics and response strategies will be very different. In other words, when the gap brought by spells is smoothed out, the competition between the two will unexpectedly return to the same starting line, presenting a strange sense of simplicity and primitiveness. After all, random casting spells is a suicide act in a spell duel.
"It would be great if I could get a gem."
Cheese looked at the snow shark who could not keep up with it and showed a subtle sense of disappointment. If he could get the core gem of a snow shark, he could dismantle some of the underlying casting ideas of the jeweler, thereby preparing for what types of spells he would use.
But that being said, it is impossible to curse crows to slow down and provide the opportunity to hunt snow sharks. Who knows what secrets there are in those magical creatures? It makes no sense to give up the progress that has achieved results and wastes time by giving up the guards.
The Curse Crow also understood that Cheess was just sighing. He understood that if he could have a way to understand his opponent first, it would be of much help to the next battle. The Curse showed a vulture-like smile and said in a somewhat gloomy tone.
"Don't worry, you'll have a chance."
Cheese keenly sensed the actual meaning of the curse crow, which means that judging from the previous combat experience of the magicians with the other party, they are likely to suffer some obstacles before actually entering the jeweler's camp.
But this is exactly what Cheese expects. Things that cannot be stopped can become a means for him to understand the enemy. Through these means, the originally fatal threat will be eased and those things that may cause trouble will become gentle. This opportunity did not make him wait too long. Because as the sleds gallop freely, they will soon arrive at the real defense zone.
There is no advantageous terrain to rely on on the snowfield. If you build a fortress here, it will face attacks from all angles around it. Therefore, the defense range of the fortress is very important. If too much defensive force is invested in the distance, these forces will be dispersed and become weak due to the vast geographical range.
But if the power is too concentrated on the fortress itself, it will not be able to resist the enemy from afar, resulting in every attack becoming a back-to-water battle that may break through the fortress. Of course, the Jewelry's camp cannot be called a fortress, so it is even more intolerant of close-range raids.
"Here you come."
The curse crow reminded Cheese softly, and at the same time began to consciously let the sled move along an unpredictable arc to avoid possible magical harassment. At the same time, Cheese also saw the danger pointed out by his companions, which were dazzling lights, like stars in the night sky.
However, these stars are not simply white light under the clouds, but seven-color lights of various colors, which are extremely shining. They are hanging high in the sky in front of the sled, as if cheese and the others have broken through the limitations of the ground and rushed into the galaxy. The galaxy is so incredible, the dangers contained are equally incredibly fatal.
A large sag suddenly appeared in the snow on the right front of the sled, without the heat from evaporation, without sound, or even light. The snow seemed to have been dug out of thin air, leaving a regular gap.
This was just the beginning. After the first gap appeared, similar traces began to appear frequently on the snow around the sled. They were obviously not a trick to increase confusion. The originally covered snow layer did encounter some influence and then disappeared.
The invisible sword is a widely known name for this spell, or this type of spell, whose essence is light.
Some people may think that the embodiment of light in nature should be a straight, purely colored invisible thing. But in fact, everything around us is bathed in light. Without light, the eyes cannot see things, and there will be no color and light and darkness. Light should not have an exact color, it can be colorless, and naturally it will be invisible.
This is the origin of the name of the magic of the Invisible Sword. Of course, compared to the Invisible, another more fatal feature of the lightsaber is that it is so fast that it cannot be defended at all. There is no speed in this world that can exceed light. Even before we see the light, it hit the retina, but the brain has not converted it into a visual signal.
Any spell that uses light to cause damage is extremely fast, but their power will be relatively weak. After all, light has no entity. Although spells can give a certain or a certain light to destroy things, it is more difficult to attach magic to light itself than to air.
However, there is a way to avoid this problem, which is to directly create a beam of light, such as using the refraction of gems to gather the originally loose natural light into a magical light, and then use it to destroy everything that passes through the light path.
Therefore, those stars hanging high in the sky are actually turrets that cast deadly rays one by one. These traces on the ground are all caused by the invisible swords they projected out.
"Stop them."
The curse crow said to Cheese while avoiding the invisible shelling.
These gem spells caused him a lot of trouble when they last fought. Now he can temporarily avoid the rigid shooting route, but when the gem turret starts to concentrate on fire, it will be difficult to break through.
"Leave it to me."
Cheese said a brief sentence, then turned his hand and raised the Breath of Dawn.
