Section 146 Transposition of the king's chariot 9
Grumas is an idiot. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Grumas is a smart man.
These are two seemingly opposite statements given by two people. The former is the evaluation of the master, and the latter is the judgment of the red clothes.
Lu Wu stood there, looking thoughtfully at the dead battlefield in front of him.
This was his first exposure to this world of combat...... Compared to the battlefield of the earth (which has been depicted and rendered countless times in many film and television works), the battlefield of this world is terrifyingly silent. Unlike the guns on Earth, common long-range weapons such as general-purpose rifles and electromagnetic guns are almost always bass-sounded or even silent. So yelling and the like would seem stupid and unnecessary - too much noise will only expose your presence to the enemy and attract firepower.
But even the quietest battlefield is a battlefield. If you have to say the difference, the battlefield on earth is cannibalism accompanied by the noise of guns and cannons shaking the heavens and the earth, while the battlefield of this world is cannibalism in silence. The form of expression is slightly different, but in the end it will devour life, gluttony and greed, and never be satisfied.
Grumas is a smart man, and his only flaw is that he is too smart.
When Hongyi gave this evaluation, there was no envy or jealousy in his expression, only a strong disdain.
According to the Redcoats, Grumas is a smart guy who is used to looking for loopholes in the rules. Well, instead of following the rules, he always thinks about jumping out of the box and giving others a blow where others can't think about it. If you use the metaphor of playing cards, Grumas is the kind of person who wants to steal cards and change cards, and if you use the game as a metaphor, he is a person who likes to open plug-ins.
Obviously, there are many benefits to opening a cheat, which can have a huge advantage. For example, in this race to compete for the Floating Fortress, Lu Wu was still stupidly thinking about how to prepare and what correct measures to take to fight after the Floating Fortress was repaired, while Grumas had already thought of a more straightforward and effective field - directly killing his competitors physically.
If you think of it as a running race, then Lu Wu is moving his body, relieving his muscles and blood, preparing to start in the best condition after the starting gun goes off, thinking about how to overtake his opponent in the turn or not being overtaken by his opponent, thinking about how to properly distribute his energy to ensure that he has the best performance, and thinking about how to thwart his opponent in the most effective way - such as blocking in front of the opponent in the first place, hindering the opponent's progress, etc. But no matter what, he was waiting for the game to start.
And Grumas, he didn't do anything. He just hid a knife behind his back, and then walked to Lu Wu's back, looking for an opportunity to give him a knife. What he wanted to do was to get Lu Wu to retire before the starting gun went off. Then, since there is only one contestant in the competition, can the final winner be someone else?
If all moral, positional, and other influences are discarded, there is no doubt that Grumas's approach is indeed unexpected. Compared to Lu Wu's stupid desire to negotiate with his opponent, Grumas recognized the essence of the matter from the beginning and did not have even the slightest naïve illusion. In fact, he almost succeeded.
Maybe he saw Lu Wu helping the group of local troops through surveillance, so he came up with such a temporary plan. But it does work. Lu Wu's moral lower limit is still the freshly graduated college student on the earth, to put it mildly, full of discipline. Even with the help of the Warlock (Amber), it never occurred to him to rob the most money on the planet, which was the bank or the vault. Well, maybe I thought about it, but I just thought about it.
But alas, he chose war.
If war is compared to a game, then this game is a game that is open to the public and allows any kind of plug-in to be used freely.
That's why the Red Clothes despise him. Because smart people don't fight - that's what the Red Coats say. Boldness and adventure are important in war, but prudence and an eye to see through the essence are even more indispensable. The sorrow of smart people like Grumas is that when they see a shortcut, their nature compels them and whips them there. Their greed never ends, giving less, getting more, getting faster, and so on. But they can't see a truth that exists forever and works everywhere: one benefit, one risk.
Lu Wu held his terminal in his hand. What was displayed on the terminal was nothing but the whole city of Nice - a few minutes ago.
This is due to the fact that the technicians of the Legion (there is no doubt that such people are always present and there are very few casualties due to the mission) have completely taken over the surveillance system of the city of Nice. The process went so smoothly that it was like opening an unlocked door. At first, it was interference, and then when it was discovered that the other party was defenseless, the interference turned into intrusion control. Then, as in all such cases, the Grumas side finally turned off the entire surveillance completely a few minutes ago. Bring the situation back to the original and primitive state.
Acting like the real thing.
It's a pity that all this performance is worthless in front of the masters. Those wireless signals are invisible to humans, but to experts, they are as conspicuous as words on billboards. So Lu Wu already knew that on the surface, it seemed that the monitoring system of the entire Nice City was finished, but in fact, it was ...... Another set of monitoring is still up and running. Admittedly, this set of surveillance does not have as much scope as the one that was turned off, but Grumas does not need to watch a scene from ten angles and lenses like watching a movie. Several of the most critical positions are under the eyes of Grumas - if there are no masters.
"Here they are. The master reminded in the headphones. "It's like the Red Coats say. ”
Lu Wu chuckled and looked ahead. Although this is a quiet battlefield, that quiet is relative after all. The sound of explosions from the destruction of exoskeleton armor, the crackling of flames, the groans of pain from the wounded, or the shouts of fear from the people are no less.
Another wave of the offensive was repulsed. But...... Almost all of those who are there now are cannon fodder. No, it was not Lu Wu who chose them as cannon fodder, but they themselves chose themselves as cannon fodder. Because after breaking through the outermost defense line and entering the city, not everyone, or every group, obeyed their original agreement and obeyed the command of Lu Wu's side.
Although at first, there was no problem with this, and everyone agreed very simply. Because everyone knew that without the support of Lu Wu's side, they would not be able to deal with Grumas. But then the ecstasy over the low-hanging fruit of victory made many people feel that the promise was not worth keeping. In fact, they couldn't have imagined that the defense of Nice City was so lax, and it was strong from the outside.
So, they did it like a bunch of people who got carried away in ecstasy and fell into a state of rage, and then they hit headfirst on the iron plate.
This is not to blame them, only Lu Wu and the others know that in fact, the whole thing was planned and promoted by Grumas. In this case, how could he not be prepared? Grumas's purpose was to find an excuse to kill Lu Wu, not to risk his own life. Lu Wu wanted to remind them at first, telling them that the enemy was prepared, but the red clothes were resolutely opposed.
They are not worth saving. This is what the red coat said. In fact, it's not just the red clothes, but the masters too. As for Lu Wu, by the standards of this world, although his moral lower limit can be said to be full of discipline, he has not yet reached the level of the Holy Mother. For example, at this moment, when the previous people who had rudely rejected or even insulted him turned into flames in the enemy's line of defense (they had taken a considerable amount of exoskeleton armor directly from the occupied warehouse), he could only feel a little sorry at best.
In front of him, there is a real battlefield.
It's not a double reed performed in tacit agreement with Kecha Goat, but a ...... Real battles. If it was Lu Wu in the past, it is estimated that he would never even dream that he would take the initiative to set foot on the battlefield one day.
For some reason, Lu Wu suddenly realized a truth: that is, after the traverser crossed, if he didn't hang up halfway or his luck was too bad, he would indeed have a great probability of making a greater achievement than before the crossing. Of course, if you travel to a low-tech world and can make full use of the technology you have, you have a better chance of success.
The reason is that the time-traveler has abandoned the past. Giving up the past is not only a way out and a destination, but also a loss of all baggage and limitations. All that remains is the desire to make a contribution between the new heaven and earth. A passionate person who can always change the world and can always do more than mediocre people. Because most of the time, people miss opportunities not because of a lack of wisdom and skill, but because of a lack of passion and enthusiasm.
want to change the world, want to put certain traces from the old world...... Right or wrong, embedded in the new world. If you don't want to be changed by the world, then use your own hands to try to change the world.
This realization made him suddenly understand that in fact, since he came to this world, it is not so much that he is unlucky, but that he has been given a great opportunity. On Earth, he has no money, no family background, can't socialize, can't drink, can't club, can't sing or dance (let alone can't find a job), and is a man who is not noticed by most women. He was lucky enough, that is, he relied on diligence to practice a good technique and become a technical backbone of a large enterprise. The most ordinary fate is to live a life in obscurity in a post where you eat and wait for death. Whether he is lucky or unlucky, he will live his life from 9 to 5, like an ant, in a small corner of the huge modern city. There is even a high probability that he will die with great psychological imbalance, depression and contradictions. In any case, he could not stand on the edge of the battlefield like this, truly feel alive, and try to change a world with his own hands.
Lu Wu turned his head, and a large group of soldiers gathered behind him...... Not from the XVI Corps, but from local soldiers of the local army. As mentioned earlier, some of them quickly abandoned their promise of command, but others still obeyed the promise. Or rather, they have realized that a rabble-like attack is simply a death sentence.
They were wearing all sorts of exoskeleton armor they had just worn - all sorts of them, some of them even captured from previously occupied warehouses. The common denominator is that there is only exoskeleton armor, and there are few weapons that are matched with regular exoskeleton armor. Of course, there are many irregular weapons, such as iron rods and heavy hammers. Although they are unable to penetrate the armor, the concussions of blunt hits can also destroy the structure of the exoskeleton and even directly injure the occupants inside.
"I said that," Lu Wu said. "There is still hope for the future, and now, I give you such a chance to take you to seize hope.
