Chapter 530: Surprise?
Inside the majestic temple, only the sound of burning fire echoed, and the dim candlelight obstructed the view of humans, making the whole large room slightly gloomy.
It doesn't feel like a god's temple at all, at least very few gods will make their temple look so gloomy, and even those dark, evil, chaotic, and disorderly gods will not wronged themselves like this.
"If this continues, Upland City will not be able to hold on. ”
The cold female voice echoed in the empty hall, and just listening to such a voice will make people can't help but give their feelings, and will make people fall in love with the owner of this voice.
"What does it matter, there are only so many cards in Siegmund's hand, and it is too different from Attila's hand, and it is a matter of time before he is broken. ”
"If this continues, Scandinavia will be occupied and conquered by Attila. ”
"Whatever, after conquering Scandinavia, it is not us who are most anxious, it is the gods in Asgard, Scandinavia is their basic disk, it is really occupied by Attila, and they are going to withdraw from this game field of the main plane. ”
The second voice is full of lazy meaning, and it sounds like an orange cat lying lazily on the sofa, shining in the winter sun, lazily waiting for feeding.
"Hey. ”
The first voice sighed, and then was silent for a long time, as if it was by the second voice, and as if it didn't know what words to use to refute.
"Don't worry about those things, Semiramis, you can get wrinkles on your face when you worry about so many things. ”
Alice said with a heartless grin, since she communicated with Sigmund and returned to Les City under the sea from Upland City, the smile on her face has not disappeared, and she looks very happy.
Whether under normal circumstances, Alice's analysis with Semiramis, or from the standpoint of the Baltic Empire, the fall of Upland was not a good thing.
However, in the face of such a bad thing that is about to happen, Alice can still maintain such a smile, and an optimistic attitude of the boat to the bridge is naturally straight, but it is extraordinary.
Has a solution been found to the problems of Upplan, or has Alice changed her mind and decided that even the fall of Upplan would not be a big deal for the Baltic Empire?
It is estimated that only Alice knows these things, and even Semiramis next to her can hardly guess her thoughts, and the mysterious smirk on her face seems to say, "I will give you a big surprise, so don't rush me until the surprise comes".
"How was the battle between your Ice Golem and the Attila Army the day before yesterday?
Unable to bear to look at the smirk on Alice's face in front of her, Semiramis turned her head to look at the empty square, looking at the surrounding decorations full of traces of magic, and asked.
"No, not at all, that thing. ”
Speaking of the Centaur Ice Golem troops who fought with the White Bears on the first day, Alice's face suddenly appeared dissatisfied, although under her control, those Ice Centaurs fought back and forth with the White Bears, and looked evenly matched.
But Alice knew that it was because it was her reason to manipulate it, and if it was someone else who manipulated and commanded, it would never be possible to achieve such a result.
"What's the matter, that thing of yours is an experiment, take those white bear people to test what is wrong with the phalanx tactics you made. ”
Semiramis said noncommittally, anyway, those so-called ice puppets are cheap things made by Alice with ice and snow, even if they are wiped out without achievements on the battlefield, it will not affect the strength and plans of the Baltic Empire at all.
"Anyway, did you test anything this time? I remember that our First Legion was made up of rhinoceros, and we relied on the phalanx tactics you came up with to fight, right?"
The phalanx tactics have greatly increased the strength of the rhinoceros who have approved the heavy armor, and it has been proven with the blood and lives of the Sealand that this is a practical thing.
However, this phalanx is not without its shortcomings, as long as you look at it once, you will know how to imitate it, in the face of powerful attacks, you can only dodge and defend is the second, and the third is that when the formation is destroyed, the rhinoceros warriors in heavy armor will become vulnerable targets and be slaughtered by the enemy.
With heavy armor purchased from the north and crafted by masters, the frontal defense is undoubted, but in those interfaces, in those joints, where the joints are connected, it is still very fragile, and when facing flexible enemies, it is easy to be taken care of as a weak point for key attacks.
"The weakness is found, and the fakes that Atila made are still fakes after all, and there is still a big gap between them and our First Legion rhino warriors. ”
Seeing Semiramis's slightly dilated pupils and open her red lips that could be stuffed into a strawberry, a smug smile appeared on Alice's face again.
I have to say that Alice's mood in the past two days is really very good, if it is not a familiar person, it is difficult to associate the current optimistic Alice with the previous literary cold girl.
"First of all, the armor on those White Bear People is made of bronze, which is not as hard and flexible as the armor made of iron ore on our side, and our weapons can easily penetrate that armor and kill those White Bear People. ”
This is something to boast about, the Baltic Empire is ahead of the Attila Empire in the manufacture of weapons for an unknown number of years, and a large number of durable agricultural tools are continuously produced from the blacksmith shop, so that the plains suitable for cultivation in the Baltic Empire have been reduced to neat fields in a very short time.
This is an achievement in agriculture, daily life, in the military the appearance of these iron weapons and armor, at least 30% of the combat effectiveness of the Jutland warriors, they can penetrate the enemy's defenses more easily, can more tenaciously resist the enemy's attack.
"Well, anything else?"
Semiramis did not refute it, this is a fact, which is based on evidence, and it is an irrefutable fact that has been practiced and tested on the battlefield.
"Second. ”
Alice stretched out the index and middle fingers of her right hand and shook them in front of Semiramis.
"Our team is more organised, the formation and movement are very neat. ”
Alice didn't elaborate on why the neatness of the formation would allow the rhinoceros to surpass the white bears in terms of combat effectiveness, but the intelligent Semiramis easily understood the hidden meaning of the other party's words.
In addition to meeting certain conditions in terms of size, strength, and health, the rhinoceros people who can be selected by the First Legion to become legionnaire warriors also have certain requirements in terms of character, and it is necessary to bear hardships and stand hard work, because only by enduring hardships can they be united in the army and twisted into a rope.
In large-scale battles, individual bravery will be reduced to a certain extent, and the larger the battle, the more so, and on the contrary, even if the strength is weak, as long as a certain degree of discipline and coordination are maintained, the weak warrior can also kill a strong enemy through coordination and tactics.
If you want to give an example, then in the battle that decided the ownership of the Baltic Sea and shattered the ambition of the fishmen to dominate the entire Baltic Sea region, those legendary sea beasts belonging to the merfolk and the kraken were unwilling to fall in the continuous human sea offensive of the fishmen.
"Anything else, Alice, these things are all well-known, aren't they?
Out of bad taste in his heart, Semiramis took Alice's outstretched hand, held it tightly, pulled Alice to his side, straightened the folds on his clothes, and said.
"Now what we need to consider is not the question of whether the White Bears can fight, the most important thing we need to consider now should be how to defeat the White Bears on the battlefield, what methods and tactics to use, and defeat them with the most relaxed attitude. ”
Semiramis asked a pointed question, in the previous encounters with the Atila army, the troops that had not fought were the White Bear troops, except for the giant troops.
The Giant Troops are okay, because there is also a team of Giant Troops led by the two Cyclops who followed Alice first in the Baltic Empire, so they have a certain understanding of the attack mode of the Giant Troops and how to defend and dodge them.
But the White Bear Man is the only one who uses the same tactics as the Rhino Man, and for people like Semiramis, it is her habit to solve all the uncertainties that she has collected in her hands.
Therefore, she asked such a question, on the one hand, she hoped to improve the tactics of the rhinoceros people by finding weaknesses from the white bear people, so as to enhance the combat effectiveness of the rhinoceros, after all, increasing the strength of loyal subordinates is also a disguised protection of the ruler's own interests.
"Don't worry, Semiramis, this tactic is something I've come up with, so no one knows its weaknesses and problems better than I do, and if the White Bears get their axes in front of us on the battlefield, then what awaits them will be a one-sided slaughter. ”
One-sided slaughter, Alice is talking about the Baltic army one-sided slaughter of the Attila army, the White Bear people.
"Also, you were wrong about what you just said, Semiramis. ”
"The experiments are mutual, and I've collected more than just the data on the White Bears, but I have some other new ideas for the ice golems. ”
"I shouldn't make those ice golems look like centaurs, the bodies made of ice are always a little uncoordinated in the joints, and if you run at high speeds, there will be severe wear and tear, and it is easy for the ice golems to break. ”
After the ice golem is damaged, as long as the core is not damaged, then both ice and water can be repaired, but in the heat of battle, the enemy will not give you time to repair it, and the can't move the centaur ice golem will only need a few simple attacks to break.
"Alice, what do you mean?"
"I mean, making an ice golem look like a centaur is not good at all, very bad, low damage, low defense, low attack range, low hit rate, not as good as the centaur who is running, and it will take a lot of effort from me. ”
"So, why do I have to make the ice golem look like a centaur?"
Well, the purpose of making a centaur is to test a set of tactics tailored for centaurs, and to know what kind of effect that tactic can play on the battlefield and how much success it can achieve.
"Do you want to make those ice golems look like giants? The giants throw stones to attack, and you let the ice golems use their abilities to condense cold ice balls for stone-throwing attacks?"
Inspired by Alice, his mind spread out all at once, and Semiramis quickly thought of how he could exchange what he had for the maximum benefit on the ice golem's side.
Ice golem giants are indeed a very good way, using the ability of ice golems, as long as they are in cold places, they can continuously obtain ammunition replenishment, but because of their tall stature, body structure, weight and other reasons, it is foreseeable that ice golem giants cannot move as flexibly as real giants.
Therefore, if these ice golem giants are really made, then they will become the target of attack in the first place on the battlefield, and because of their defense and size, the ice golem giants that are attacked as targets will soon be lost.
But Semiramis thought about it, it is not a good thing for the ice golem to be used as a target by the enemy on the battlefield to attack, and it is a good deal to attract the opponent's attack with cheap ice golems in exchange for the chance of other troops to survive, so if you calculate it, this transaction will be very cost-effective.
"Giants?"
Alice was stunned for a moment when she heard Semiramis's words, and then quickly understood what Semiramis meant, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she swallowed the words that were almost in her mouth.
Although it is still a little technically difficult to make the ice golem look like a giant, it is not very difficult to break it.
The problem is that there is a big gap between making these ice golems look like giants and Alice's inner answer, although the two are very similar in some ways, but in essence they are two different things.
