Chapter 138: Chapter 137: War in Progress
Of course, as the last and most grand action scene, Nanaya put a lot of effort into this legion battle between goblins and adventurers.
Although it is a bit unfair to Peter Jackson to say this, many ideas in the war scene in Seven Nights were borrowed from this fat man.
Of course, what Nanaya copied was not "The Lord of the Rings" but "The Hobbit" which Fatty had not started yet. Although the overall evaluation of "The Hobbit" was not as good as "The Lord of the Rings", it was also ridiculed as the strongest CGI movie produced in New Zealand.
However, there are still many aspects of the combat action scenes that are worth learning from. The most outstanding one is the reflection of the combat modes of each race in "The Hobbit", the cruelty of the orcs, the dexterity of the elves, the recklessness of the dwarves, the bravery of humans, the Hobbits' skill in throwing stones with never missing a single target, and... Gandalf's talent for melee combat?
In this battle, Nanaya also demonstrated the abilities of all the combatants. Of course, as a villain, the Goblin must appear to be a little stupid, but not too stupid, denying it would be an insult to his intelligence.
Under Nanaya's arrangement, the goblins adopted a meat shield advancement tactic. This tactic was despicable and simple, but it was indeed very useful.
It's a pity that the goblins were unlucky today and met a guy who had studied them thoroughly.
Under Goblin Slayer's command, the entire battle went almost as he had expected.
The first thing the goblins encountered when they marched was the sleeping spell cast by the dwarf uncle and others. Accompanied by the aroma of wine, these little goblins with almost zero magic resistance fell asleep immediately.
Next, a group of strong adventurers rushed into the goblin formation faster than the Hong Kong reporters, picked up the girls and ran away at lightning speed.
By the time the goblins reacted, the adventurers who were afraid of being killed had long disappeared.
Seeing this situation, the goblin spellcasters prepared to fight back, but were shot one by one by the elf archers lying in ambush in the trees.
The elf girl played by Lin finally had her most handsome moment in the whole movie. Before that, the elf archer had made almost no contribution except killing a few scouts and conducting long-range harassment in the battle with the trolls.
And now, Nanaya spent a full 5 minutes showing the audience the handsome and heroic figure of this green-haired elf girl.
At the beginning, Rin was just hitting the target with every arrow, killing one goblin at a time. This was nothing surprising to the audience who had seen Legolas' performance in The Lord of the Rings.
However, when two goblins pounced on the elf girl at the same time, the archer's actions stunned everyone.
Rin first leaned back, drew the bow at an angle that would allow him to eat the barbecue, and shot an arrow.
The arrow flashing with cold light directly pierced through the head of one of the goblins, but at this time the other goblin had already rushed in front of Lin.
Just when the audience thought that this little elf girl would repeat the mistakes of the female magician at the beginning of the film, she whistled softly in front of everyone.
The arrow, which had already flown a long distance, seemed to sense the call of its master like a pet. It drew an incredible flight trajectory and pierced the goblin's chest directly from behind.
"Wow----!"
Many viewers exclaimed in surprise. They had never imagined that bows and arrows could be played like this.
Using a whistle to change the trajectory of the bow and arrow is a skill that Nanaya learned from Yondu's father in the Galaxy Audition.
Although the comic version of Yondu can also use a whistle to control the arrows on his body, the "Guardians of the Galaxy" comics are really too unpopular.
This 18th-tier hero team is so unpopular that no one outside the circle knows them except the comic readers and fans.
In addition, the visual expression of comics is far less shocking than that of big-screen movies.
Therefore, Lin's move was a complete show to all the audience present.
After killing the two goblins, Rin on the screen seemed to have activated the Wushuang Buff. She raised her bow and arrow and started killing everyone.
That fancy archery method probably wouldn't even hit the target in the real world, let alone defeat goblins.
In fact, this is indeed the case. During the filming process, the arrows shot by Lin fell limply to the ground after flying less than 3 meters.
But in the world of the movie, the arrows shot by Lin are miraculous and never miss a target.
What was even more surprising was that the arrows shot out under Rin's whistle did not end with one strike, but kept moving back and forth on the battlefield, reaping the lives of the goblins.
In addition, as Nanaya's deliberate design, the sound of Rin pulling the bowstring and the whistle were all in rhythm with the passionate background music.
This nearly 5-minute long set of shots became a one-man show for Tohsaka Rin.
When Lin first drew her bow and shot an arrow, few people reacted. With Legolas's example, everyone just thought that this little girl performed well.
But with the whistling arrows, the elf archer on the screen shuttled through the battlefield like dancing. With the splash of blood and the green hair swaying in the wind, all of this made the elf archer look handsome, beautiful and dangerous.
Such a poetic picture made many viewers sigh
Soon, as Rin performed more and more exciting moves, the audience began to scream.
In the end, every time Rin bent his bow and whistled, it triggered loud cheers.
The cheers became louder and louder as they repeated, and in the end some audience members even applauded!
Many viewers originally thought that they would never fall in love with any other archer except Legolas, but now they found that they were completely wrong.
This actress from Japan conquered the 600 audience members with her outstanding performance.
Although the industry insiders present were all aware that the actress named Tohsaka Rin was positioned as a vase in the movie, a vase also has its own unique charm.
If you think that vase actors just stand there like a wooden pole and don't move like a vegetable, you are wrong.
A true vase is one who shows her charm in front of the audience, maximizes her role in attracting the audience, and shows her "beautiful" side without reservation through her appearance, movements, abilities, etc.
From this point of view, Rin was undoubtedly successful.
Listening to the screams of the audience, Rin, who was sitting in the theater, suddenly felt satisfied. The sweat and hard work he had put in to play this role finally paid off. His fingers were cut while practicing archery, his waist was sprained several times to achieve those inhumane actions, and his ankle was sprained during filming.
All these sacrifices are worth it.
Rin believes that every audience who has seen this movie will remember him.
Maybe in terms of acting skills and popularity, Rin is indeed not as good as Luvia now, but Rin is confident that with this good start, she will definitely be able to surpass this golden diamond in front of her in the future.
Now, there is only one thing Rin needs to do, which is to unlock Luvia's throat lock.
Well, these two bickering lovers have been entangled for a whole movie, but still no one can determine the winner.
Rin on the screen was still performing her one-man show until the adventurer army and the goblin army came into direct combat. She then became part of the battlefield and gave up control of the screen.
Only then did the audience shift their attention away from the elf girl and begin to appreciate the various abilities of the adventurers.
Different from the original novel where the adventurers were so strong that the battle was almost one-sided, in order to show the cruelty of war, Nanaya let the goblins try to kill several minor adventurers.
Although the adventurers still have the overall advantage in the battle, the direction of the war is becoming more and more stalemate.
Especially when the Goblin King sent out the Goblin Wolf Riders, the battle situation became more complicated and changeable.
Although the Goblin Cavalry's impact capability was reduced to a minimum by the simple wooden barricades, the ferocious wolves and the cruel Goblins still made it difficult for the adventurers.
Seeing that his army was unable to take the city after a long siege, the Goblin King, who already had little patience, became extremely irritable.
You know, at the beginning, the Goblin King never thought that his attack would be hindered.
In its view, the border town that is not heavily guarded should be a piece of fat meat at its fingertips. This unguarded town should become panic-stricken and disorderly after seeing its army coming.
You have to know that it has operated its army very perfectly, with sufficient numbers of soldiers, complete weapons and wolf riders, and even hero units are ready.
According to common sense, since the operation is already complete, I can win by just leading the army to attack, and then I can occupy the town, kill all the men, rob the livestock, and abduct the women.
The Goblin King has done this process countless times and has become very familiar with it.
But this is different from what we agreed!
The Goblin King sadly discovered that his invincible army could not break through this small plain. The battle that was expected to be easy turned out to be extremely difficult.
In order to win as quickly as possible, the restless Goblin King finally sent out his most powerful subordinates - a combat team composed of goblin elites.
This group of strong goblins, whose size is several times that of humans, indeed caused a lot of trouble for the adventurers.
However, these guys who only had brute force were quickly defeated with the cooperation of several elite adventurers.
Sure enough, compared to monsters who only use brute force, humans who know how to cooperate are obviously superior.
Seeing that the balance of the battlefield began to gradually tilt towards the human side, the Goblin King, knowing that the game was over, made a choice that all goblins would make in such a situation - abandoning his companions and running away.
As long as it is still alive, it can rely on its own nest to create a new army, and one day it will be able to come back here for revenge!
However, an armored adventurer blocked the Goblin King's escape route - the protagonist who had disappeared for nearly 20 minutes finally appeared on the screen again.
The final battle is about to begin.
