This must be the third time I have fought in person, DeMiluo thought.
Although the commander should stay in the rear to command the troops, when the troops are destroyed, the commander naturally has to go to the battlefield in order to complete the strategic mission, because even if you die in the battle, the Lord God will let you wake up from your memory again, and even the merits earned in the previous life will be accumulated.
For the Lord God, suitable legion commanders are a scarce resource, and not all magician projections are qualified to become heroic spirits - most magician projections are unable to discover command expertise, and even if they have command expertise, they may not be able to fit in with the forces. For example, a magician whose specialty is "commanding undead troops" is meaningless in the Star Hall, after all, there are no undead troops in the Star Hall.
Different magician projections have different command specialties, but command is a magic faction that has not yet been recognized by the virtual world. Therefore, it cannot get assistance from the virtual world and can only rely on the commander's own talents.
The Lord would never give up on a commander like Demilo who spent hundreds of years to develop his special skills in "logistics". There were only a few logistics commanders in the Star Hall, and each of them could speed up the resource collection of the Star Hall.
If he ran away... There was no option to run away. When the commanders knew that dying in battle was more cost-effective, no one would choose to run away. In the final analysis, they were just a group of puppets with memories. Their thinking mode was a straight one-way street and they would not execute unnecessary instructions.
——But ever since he met this group of magicians, he has been carrying out unnecessary instructions.
Demilo looked at the huge bow in his left hand, which meant that he had given himself the "Star Shooter" class. Commanders, like knowledge creatures, would be given different alienations due to their own characteristics when given a class. Because he mastered the two miracles of "The Fierce Tyrant's Bow" and "Diamond Split Arrow", the "Star Shooter" was also alienated. Normal Star Shooters don't have such a big bow and such a flashing arrow.
Compared with intellectual creatures, commanders have an advantage that cannot be ignored.
He can stack multiple soldiers of the same type on himself at once.
For example, right now, Demilo is accumulating all the "Star Shooter" troops that can arm eight followers on himself. He can't increase his damage by doing this, but the armor can be stacked. Although the Star Shooter's armor only has 2 layers, it can be stacked 8 times, which becomes 16 layers.
The increase in numbers not only means an increase in armor health, but also a huge increase in the armor reduction coefficient!
The higher the number of armor layers, the higher the damage reduction of the outermost layer of armor, and naturally more damage is required to break a layer of armor.
Suppose each layer of armor has 100 health points, and 1 layer of armor has 10% damage reduction, then shattering 1 layer of armor will require 112 points of damage; but if there are 2 layers of armor, then the outermost 2nd layer of armor will have 14% damage reduction, and shattering the 2nd layer of armor will require 117 points of damage!
The damage reduction of each layer of armor is different, and the damage reduction of each layer is increasing!
Although the coefficient cannot be increased infinitely, Demilo has 16 layers of armor, and his outermost layer of armor has nearly 50% damage reduction. The impact of the steel monster just now, which could have penetrated 3 layers of armor, could only tear through his 16th layer of armor, and then there are 15th layer, 14th layer...
That’s why soldiers are more important than followers - as long as there are enough soldiers, even if all the followers are killed, the heroic spirit can form an army of one person!
In the first two "Six Kingdoms Grand Prime Minister" wars, Demilo had assembled up to 300 units of star shooters for himself, and suppressed multiple enemy legions from a tactical commanding height. For this, he was awarded the "Invincible Heroic Spirit" medal and was rewarded with three times the merit by the Lord God.
He had plenty of time to slowly execute these magicians before the armor was broken.
With his bow bent at the full moon, Demilo aimed at the charging steel beast.
Buzz!
Suddenly, there was a creaking sound of tire friction, and the sports car braked suddenly before the collision, leaving a donut-like brake mark, which slid in front of Demilo's eyes.
He wanted to interfere with my shooting accuracy, which means that this steel monster could not withstand several of my shots... Demilo instantly analyzed the opponent's intentions and disadvantages, but at this time the opponent's magician suddenly stuck his head out to observe!
clang!
Although Demilo reacted very quickly, the opponent seemed to be deliberately luring him, and retreated as soon as he appeared, tricking Demilo into shooting. At the same time, the sports car bit Demilo again and knocked off his 15th layer of armor.
Cunning man.
Demilo revised his battle strategy again, no longer trying to shoot the magician, but focusing on destroying the steel behemoth. However, when the steel behemoth ran around in circles again, the Shepherd suddenly found himself in a trap.
Even after leaving the cave, the steel behemoth's butt continued to release poisonous fog. Although the poisonous fog dissipated quickly in the open air, after several rounds of accumulation, the concentration of the dark green poisonous fog had reached a level that was enough to affect vision!
If he wanted to shoot from a distance, even if he could split three arrows, most likely only one would hit. After all, the steel beasts were extremely fast, their paths were erratic, and coupled with the impact of vision, Demilo might not be able to shoot their mounts before their armor was destroyed.
In other words, in order to improve his shooting accuracy, Demilo only has one choice -
Buzz!
When the sports car rushed out from the thick fog and crushed the enemy, Demilo, who had been waiting for a long time, also released the bowstring!
Head-on confrontation!
Don't shoot until the steel giant runs to you, to ensure that every arrow can realize its life value!
Demilo was extremely sure that before his armor was broken, the opponent's giant beast would be torn into pieces by the sharp arrows!
In theory, this is true.
If no one interferes.
Just before DeMillo was knocked away by the sharp blade, several silk threads like streams of water shot out from the sports car and wrapped around his waist like a gentle embrace!
Then, pull hard!
Demilo was unable to escape the silk thread, nor was he knocked away by the sports car, and was forced to continue to stick closely to the evil blade. He was not panicked, but a little surprised - the terrifying thing about this steel beast was not the two blades that could easily cut through the soul, but the powerful inertia added by the speed.
Now that he was being pulled by the silk thread, he would certainly suffer continuous damage from the sharp blade, but compared to the previous impact damage, the current damage was as insignificant as if he was attacked by a nail clipper.
However, being controlled all the time is not a solution. Just when Demilo was about to use the diamond arrow to cut the silk threads, he found that the steel behemoth had pushed him out of the poisonous fog.
Why would he voluntarily give up his advantage in vision? They have no chance to compete with me in the open field of vision.
Could it be that...
Demilo felt something in his heart, and when he looked back, he found that there was the wall of the cave behind him!
