The next mont, Adela felt a further change in the three-dinsional scene within her field of view.
She sensed Kael's position.
"Prototype detected. Target needs to be locked collaboratively. Please comnce the corresponding action promptly," ca the notification.
Adela instantly raised the compound bow in her hand and, with a gesture guided by the Magical Hand, precisely shot an arrow.
Almost at the sa ti, the arrow shot by Kael collided with the one Adela had discharged in midair.
An explosion erupted loudly.
"Enhanced striking power, unified command, and... simultaneous single combat and collaborative fighting?"
Adela started to strategize imdiately in her mind. Given such equipnt, she pondered what kind of decapitation strikes and kiting tactics could be executed.
You could question Adela's understanding of human nature, even thinking her a bit naïve in interpersonal interactions, but never doubt her military prowess and strength.
She instantly understood why Kael needed to install his Magical Hand on her.
The chip integrated into the Magical Hand could work in tandem with the Gluttonous Sli on her body, aning as long as she was near Lord Kael, she could relay the current surroundings through Kael's Magical Hand to him at once...
The Magical Hand on her left arm, which also belonged to her, had the sa effect. If sothing was detected by her subordinates in the Elf Ranger Corps, the information could be relayed to her directly.
As an interdiary, she could further transmit the information to Kael.
Similarly, as a superior in the ranks of Elf Rangers, she could completely command her subordinates to assist in combat as soon as she spotted an opportunity to incapacitate the enemy's core combatants with fire coverage.
Hmm... Given that War Mages have extensive control over shaping spells equipped with the Magical Hand, theoretically speaking, Elf Rangers need not assemble into a regint to attack, but could still bombard the enemy from all directions.
Now that Adela could attack enemies 20 kiloters away, it ant that the attack range of the Elf Rangers had increased to an unprecedented extent.
They could now fully disperse, operate in groups of three to execute rapid decapitation strikes and, at the sa ti, receive supporting fire from Rangers scattered in all directions.
The Elf Rangers were always best at hit-and-run tactics—capable of both offensive and defensive maneuvers. They could exhaust the enemy with a crushing blow or imdiately pursue fleeing enemies. As soon as the enemy attacked, they would quickly retreat.
But... When this system encounters a strong and powerful enemy, unprecedented flaws would be exposed.
The biggest flaw was splitting the entire Elf Ranger Corps into combat groups, which could result in them being decapitated by top enemies once the distance beca too great, making imdiate communication and support impossible.
Yet, by exchanging information through the Magical Hand, they could literally pin down and beat any ordinary mighty enemies.
Although it might not be possible to kill those in the Holy Land on the battlefield, they could definitely bomb them to the point where they couldn't raise their heads.
Overpowering!
This is the overpowering configuration that could be terd among ranged troops, and now such a setup was directly in front of Adela, making her feel as if she was witnessing history.
...
In the end, Adela left the Magic Workshop.
She now had many things she wanted to discuss with her subordinates, about the results of this experint, about Kael's decision, about the possibilities of the Longshot Strike Team, and her visions for the future of the Elf Rangers.
She had a feeling that the era of the Elf Rangers might co again, entirely dependent on this new hybrid combat group that integrated multiple resources.
However, upon returning to the Elf Rangers' campsite, what she saw were the uneasy expressions on their faces.
"Have all the commanding officers of the combat squads co here for a eting," Adela said.
Soon, after not very long, a considerable number of elite Elf Rangers gathered inside the central tent of the camp.
They were the cores of each combat squad, and the tactics developed around them had allowed this group of battle-hardened Elf Rangers to erge and achieve their current status.
Adela didn't say much, sitting at the head of the tent, she began to discuss with everyone the many issues she encountered today and the decisions she had ultimately made.
Her voice was steady, almost with an undisturbed deanor as she supported the plan for the Longshot Strike Team.
But she soon sensed sothing was amiss.
Throughout the day, almost no Elf stood up to argue with her; even those who did raise issues adopted a more sincere attitude, seeking to understand Adela's perspective on the new project.
The sudden shift in dynamics left Adela sowhat bewildered.
The eting proceeded too smoothly, so smoothly that she hadn't anticipated it at all.
