Chapter 629: Desperate Scheme
"I know what His Excellency is worried about. In order to get the Guardian Battle Banner to be studied, Sean patted his chest and promised, "Before researching, I will make a replica first, and even have the ability to make it stronger than this damaged product, even if the Guardian Battle Banner is damaged in the process of research, we also have other means to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Broken Pulse Defense Line, only rising and not falling, black powder is just a primary product." ”
Sean didn't brag about this, not to mention artillery, just a combat skill, it is already a cross-era thing, not inferior to a battle artifact.
Recently, he has been building the Legion and Legion Combat Skills, which, if successful, will bring the power of the outnumber of people to a whole new level.
It's just that this research has recently entered a bottleneck.
There's no problem with the ultimate skill that has the Champion Knight and the Grand Knight as the core.
The Absolute Barrier originally had the meaning of this aspect, but now it has been further improved, and one combat skill has been distributed to multiple people.
But the Corps or even the Legion Combat Skill, this kind of skill that requires the mobilization of many forces.
Theoretically, it is possible, but when it comes to actual operation, there is a problem that cannot be avoided.
It takes time for the magic energy to converge, and there is a lack of an operational core, even those champion knights can't be the core.
Because they can manipulate spell energy, it is entirely with the help of combat skills, they are not warlocks themselves, and they have no way to manipulate spell energy as they want.
For a while, Sean's main focus was on the side of the Kentana barbarians, and he didn't find time to delve into the subject.
The first time he saw the Stritch family's guardian battle flag, a flash of light flashed through Sean's mind.
Isn't that the perfect choice?
Battle flags that every unit has.
To build a battle artifact, Sean doesn't have the confidence and ability to do so.
However, it should not be as difficult to create the Legion Banner and Legion Battle Banner that work with the Eternal Night Commander's Battle Skill.
It would be even more wonderful if there was the Guardian Banner of the Stredge family as a reference.
"The Eternal Night Leader still has good things in his hands. ”
It was the first thought that crossed Archduke Cedric's mind.
Since Sean called black powder a primary product, then the new weapons of war must be related to black powder.
Could it be that they have produced even more powerful black powder?
Sean's last sentence is heavier than all the previous ones combined.
After all, the change in the mode of war by the black powder keg is obvious to all.
In terms of magic, black powder is definitely not comparable to the Guardian Battle Banner.
But in terms of practicality, the Guardian Battle Flag is too late.
Because the energy possessed in the Guardian Battle Banner is limited, once the energy is exhausted, it is an ordinary battle flag that can no longer be ordinary, and they do not have an effective means of charging, so they can only wait passively.
Not to mention, just the Golden Armor of the Kingsley family, which once showed its might in the Swamp of Despair, is estimated to be thrown into the treasure house to recharge now, and the next time it is used like last time, it is estimated that it will have to wait until a few years or even more than ten years later.
Black powder is different, this thing can be mass-produced, as long as the financial resources are sufficient, as much as you want.
A single black powder would greatly reduce the role of the Guardian Battle Banner, let alone a more advanced product.
Archduke Cedric quickly made a decision: "Okay, the Guardian Battle Banner can be handed over to you to repair, but not now, it is not too late to wait until you marry little Sophie." ”
Grand Duke Cedric couldn't give Sean 100% trust, but he trusted Sophia.
When the time comes, the Guardian Battle Banner will not be handed over to Sean, but to Sophia.
You can't pit yourself with your own granddaughter!
"Okay, let's settle this matter. Sean didn't puncture Archduke Cedric's thoughts.
Trust is something that is built little by little.
If Archduke Cedric got his hands on it, he would give him 100% trust, and even such an important thing as the Guardian Battle Banner would not hesitate to take it out.
Instead, he wondered if there was a trap in it.
"What does the Count mean is that he is going to use this energy clone's ability to steal traces and steal operational intelligence for us?" Archduke Cedric turned the conversation back to the original question.
"That's right. Sean nodded and said, "But this matter still needs the cooperation of the Grand Duke, only if you take military action, the top of the Theodin Empire can react and spy on their arrangements, under normal circumstances, I don't have so much time to waste on them." ”
"That's true. Archduke Cedric smiled and said, "It's better to come early, it's better to come by chance, you have heard our military plan just now, what do you think this time is?"
"It doesn't hurt to give it a try. Sean didn't have much of a problem with that.
This time, he sent the Shadow Soul Eater Leopard to the Broken Blood Castle to help Archduke Cedric and them just by the way.
Another purpose is to take the opportunity to evaluate the style of the Theodin Empire.
The Eternal Night Warlord wants to get his hands on the Odin steppe, and this local overlord can't get around it.
The more you know about their higher-ups, the more beneficial it will be for their actions on the Odin steppe.
It is quickest to assess this, to observe their response mechanism, and the corresponding rhetoric.
"In this case, our plan should be further adjusted, and we should find a way to set up a bigger game for these guys and thwart their fierce flames. "Even with Sean, an unprecedented intelligence agent, Archduke Cedric did not have the confidence to directly defeat the Western Odin Empire.
When the number reaches a certain level, they will become an insoluble existence, and it is really difficult for foreign enemies to defeat them, and only they can defeat them.
"Once you've made a plan, tell me to execute it. "Sean wasn't prepared to get too involved in the battle of the Broken Pulse Line.
This kind of super-large battle involving millions of troops on both sides, even if he has many unconventional means, there is not much he can do.
If it weren't for his dual purpose, he wouldn't have even sent the Shadow Soul Eater Leopard.
The Eternal Night Leader still has a lot of things waiting for him to come out in person.
Now that he has so many clones, he not only doesn't feel relaxed, but he's even busier.
Because in the past, some things could be thrown out through decentralization.
Now some core knowledge is in his hands, and there is no way for others to replace it, especially the construction of the energy reactor, which takes up a lot of his energy.
"This is natural. Archduke Cedric himself did not count Sean in it, "Can you tell me how you used to capture the Kentana barbarians?
Archduke Cedric was an out-and-out professional soldier, and naturally had a keen interest in the Kentana barbarians, a legendary race of natural warriors.
"The Kentana barbarians are not as savage as the legend says, especially the leaders of the clan, who can be called wise men, they do not solve things purely with their fists, especially when the entire race is faced with a life-and-death decision. Sean replied vaguely, "With the deterrence of force and the temptation of interests, they will naturally raise their clan to surrender, is it possible that they are still trapped on the ice field?"
"It's that simple?" said Archduke Cedric, disappointed, a little different from the Kentana barbarians he had imagined.
"It's as simple as that. Sean nodded, the information about the reincarnation of the ancestral spirit and the combat skills of the ancestral spirit is naturally not suitable for leaking.
"When I have the opportunity to see and learn in the future, I hope that they will not be so disappointed in other aspects. "Cedric justice.
"There is no way to sum up a race in one word, and the Kentana barbarians are no exception. Sean smiled and said, "Especially now that they have been fully incorporated into the Eternal Night Army, Your Excellency will not see pure Kentana barbarians in the future, but the Kentana people of the Eternal Night Army, and the difference in what you see is only greater." ”
"Earl Sean is very confident in his own military leaders, so confident that he will completely annex them?" Archduke Cedric couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "It's a good thing to have confidence, and if you have too much confidence, that's arrogance." ”
"Let's speak with facts. "Sean is full of confidence, as long as he enters the belly of the Eternal Night Commander, do they still want to toss new tricks?
The crocodiles are the best proof of this.
When the clan was first merged, many people were forced to carry out it with knives around their necks.
They don't have an opinion in their hearts, and they probably have been holding it back, ready to find a way to plan for the future in the future.
As a result, I have been holding back until now, and the momentum is getting smaller and smaller.
Not only is his mental strength loosened, but also because there is no soil for small actions.
That kind of racism or terrorism, you can do it.
Either take advantage of the reality and all kinds of dissatisfaction with life.
Either they use racial sentiment to stir up hostility towards a certain power.
Either they use brainwashing to brainwash them into people who think the same as themselves.
These three points basically do not exist in the soil of the Eternal Night Military Leader.
First of all, this first point.
It's not that the living conditions of the Eternal Night Warlord have reached a very high level.
This kind of thing needs to be compared.
Compared with the original kind of crocodile people, for a fishing ground, they often fight large-scale weapons, busy all day long, but they don't have enough food and clothing, and they have to endure some people acting as a blessing on their heads.
The life that the Eternal Night Commander can provide them with now is not too comfortable, as long as they obey the military leader's policy and pay taxes normally, no one dares to trouble them.
Those ordinary crocodile people who don't have much ambition will miss the old life unless they have a sick brain.
This second point is usually linked to the third point.
Unfortunately, in this area, the Eternal Night Leader has always been at the forefront of the entire world, and they have a large number of relevant personnel, who can instill some of the policies and ideas belonging to the Eternal Night Commander into your mind and your life without knowing it.
When new living customs are formed, who will miss the old ones.
The Kentana barbarians will not jump out of this strange circle, especially when there is the name of ancestral spirit reincarnation in front of him, and Sean is still planning the trial of the Kentana barbarian king recently.
As long as he passes this trial, he will be able to combine divine power and royal power, and in his lifetime, as long as he does not engage in the anger of heaven and people, the Kentana barbarians will have no possibility of betrayal, and will be the sharpest knife in his hand.
"Okay, I'll see, I want to see how far you can go in the future. Archduke Cedric didn't really want to question Sean, and shifted the subject to another business: "When are you going to strike at the remnants of the East Odin Empire?"
"It's already done. Sean replied, "When it was confirmed that the army of the Western Odin Empire was fully moving south, our two cavalry corps had already marched day and night into the Barsing steppe, but it was just ......."
At the end, Sean couldn't help but sigh.
"Just what?" asked Archduke Cedric.
"It's just that they're on their way back now?" Sean told the truth.
"On the way back, why? Could it be that the tiger in Ulaanbari is still there, or is the remnants of the East Odin Empire too strong?" asked Archduke Cedric in surprise.
"If that's all there is to think about, but Barsin's current situation is something that no human can fight against. Sean sighed again and said, "The Theodin Empire has done too much in Balsin, everything that can be taken away has been taken away, and what cannot be taken away has become a pile of corpses."
After the cavalry entered the steppe, the supply lines were too long, and they couldn't carry too many military supplies, so they relied on plundering the Odin orc tribes.
Now running there for a day, you may not be able to bump into a tribe, and even if you encounter it occasionally, most of them are in order to hide their tracks, and most of them have lost most of the sheep and cattle, and they are hungry and bone-lining, and there is nothing to grab.
If that's all it takes, it's good to say, when the time comes, it's okay to send your own herdsmen to graze there, although it's not as fast as plundering the Odin orcs to get rich, but it's better to be stable, and now you don't dare to do it at all, because it's going to die. ”
"Could it be ......," Archduke Cedric changed color, "those corpses, the Theodin Empire didn't deal with them at all?"
Great wars and catastrophes are often followed by pandemics.
It is because in the process, a large number of corpses are not properly disposed of, which becomes a breeding ground for epidemics, and then the insects and flies that breed with them are brought to the living.
This is common sense even in the Ashane continent, which is relatively backward in the popularization of medical knowledge.
The ruling class of the Theodin Empire should not fail to understand this truth.
Could it be because they killed too many people to deal with it at all?
"That's right. Sean confirmed the other party's speculation, "The situation there is not just because there are too many corpses and there is no way to deal with it, but the West Odin Empire knows that it will not be able to completely eat the Balsing Steppe in a short period of time, and it is intentional, they should not have expected that we wanted to take the opportunity to pick peaches, but they wanted to use this method to prevent the comeback of the East Odin Empire."
Without the Balsin steppe, a fertile ground for recuperation, the remnants of the East Odin Empire will be much more difficult to reunite.
By the time the plague caused by the large number of corpses subsided, the West Odin Empire had already recovered with the help of the war dividends from the invasion of the East Odin Empire, and at that time, they only needed to send a few tribes to completely eat this place and complete the unification of the entire Odin steppe. ”
"It's really a ruthless and incurable poisonous plan. Archduke Cedric gasped, and a chill was felt between his teeth.
They have a mentality that I can't eat it, and no one else wants to eat it.
In this case, who would dare to run there?
"I really didn't expect that the tiger in Ulaanbari would have this hand. Sean also had a headache.
After thousands of calculations, I didn't calculate that the Western Odin Empire also came to draw salaries.
"So, you've given up on your plans for the direction of the Odin steppe for the time being?" asked Archduke Cedric.
If the Eternal Night Warlord does not take the initiative to enter the game, has enough interests in the Odin grassland, and has irreconcilable contradictions with the West Odin Empire, the alliance agreement between the Broken Pulse Defense Line and the Eternal Night Warlord will not be so strong, and the Eternal Night Warlord can withdraw at any time.
"They have their own schemes, and I have my ladder over the wall. Sean sneered, "We are ready to change our strategy, from looting property and grasslands to robbing people." ”
"Robbing people?" Rao is Archduke Cedric, who has been in battle for a long time, and is also confused at the moment.
"Our medical system, when it was first established, has begun to develop, over the years, there has been a little success, when the plague on the Balsing steppe begins to rage, if we can come up with a targeted course of treatment and special medicine, do you say those Odin orcs, do you still care if we are Byrons or Andes?" Sean revealed the military plan of the Eternal Night Commander without care.
There is no need to keep this plan secret.
Because this is based on the unique technology mastered by the Eternal Night Lord.
There is no way to replicate and block it.
Could they still stop a group of people who have contracted the plague from going to the Eternal Night Army to seek medical treatment?
