Section 216 Interlude: Preparation
The Destroyer fell to his knees.
The shield on its body had dimmed to the point where it was barely visible, and the unseen force grabbed its neck, causing it to lose control of its body. Although it looks very different from humans, the overall structure of this creature is similar to that of humans, that is, its brain is located in the head, so in order to maintain the normal operation of the brain, tissues such as blood vessels that provide nutrients and oxygen to the brain must pass through the neck. Therefore, the effect of strangling its neck can be said to be exactly the same as that of strangling the neck of a human, which will lead to suffocation and eventually coma.
Some analysts believe that the destroyer is a combat creature created after a human model, and this analysis does have its reasonableness.
"It's almost over, it's time to finish. A voice rang out.
This is one of the training grounds of the Stygian Moon. At this moment, hundreds of soldiers were surrounding the perimeter, looking at the destroyer who was surrounding the middle.
Unlike Hui Yue's side of digging out hollow thoughts to grab a few live holes to crack the technology of Kaicha Goat, Stygian Moon has no requirements for this at all. This isn't because they're in a much better position at this (they're a hundred times more powerful on the battlefield than Kazuki, and they have a large number of warlocks, and it's never been a problem to capture a prisoner or something), but because they've completely abandoned the practice of cracking Kechagoat's technology, which is simply unhackable. That's it from the beginning.
The current Stygian Warlocks have fully understood that Kechagoat's rebellion was not a temporary initiative, but a long-planned conspiracy. They used to get a lot of technology from Kecha Goat, but as many people know now, except for a small amount of technology that Kecha Goyat initially provided, most of it was of little value, either chicken ribs, or had no future for development, or it was a type that was theoretically possible, but the rules of the world simply did not allow it.
At first, the Stygian Warlocks were sorry for this, but they were helpless, after all, they were also a civilization that could swim in the Aether Sea, so they understood the basic common sense of the rules and restrictions of different worlds. But it wasn't until Kecha Goyat betrayed that they realized that everything was a lie.
Kecha Goyat misled them from the start. He actually has a myriad of technologies and knowledge that can be used in this world and has unlimited potential.
In other words, Kecha Goyat has some kind of special ability, or intelligence beyond human imagination, and it has the ability to make it impossible for you to crack its technology. In fact, Kecha Goyat gave the Stygian Camp a lot of techniques, but the Stygian Camp almost didn't get any benefits, and they couldn't even do it by touching the class, so that the stones of other mountains could attack jade, and so on.
Let's say the Destroyer. This artificial intelligent creature was obviously developed and manufactured by Kecha Koat in this world, but it did not appear suddenly, but Kecha Koat accumulated data through a large number of human experiments, and finally succeeded in making it. Stygian had all of the data from before the Destroyer was completely completed (experiments at that stage were under Stygian's watch, so it was natural to copy the data), but no matter how much effort their scholars and researchers put into it, they were unable to repeat the success of Kecha Goat. The front is clear and clear, but the last step (that is, the part that Kecha Goyat hides) cannot understand. They can dissect a thousand destroyers, and they have most of the data and even ideas from the creation process of Kaicha Goat, but they still can't figure out how these creatures were created. They could not repeat the success of Kecha Goyat.
This last step was like a heavenly abyss, and Kecha Goyat could easily take one step, and the researchers of the Stygian Moon stopped in front of the abyss.
It's not just the Destroyer, it's the same with many other things. Biological Energy Shield - This thing has shown great value in actual combat, and the basic principles are fully understood by the Stygian Moon (of course, this was taught by Kecha Goatt while the two sides are still working together), but this kind of thing, in the concept of the Stygian researchers, cannot be created due to the limitations of the world's rules. Not to mention that such a large number of manufacturers as Kecha Goyat is now made, even if the requirements are lowered, it is impossible to repeat it in the laboratory.
Even on the basis of having a full set of data and even mastering the principles (obviously, with such good conditions, it is only one step away from the final success) can not replicate the technology of Kaicha Goat, so I want to simply analyze the finished product, so as to reverse the technology of Kecha Koyat or something...... The Moon Warlocks have given up on this illusion entirely.
Probably only know much about this, so the Huiyue camp, which is lucky, still has this kind of fantasy.
For Stygian, the captured Destroyer has one and only one use, and that's the one now. It is used as a test for actual combat.
Legions of high-ranking warlocks are no more expensive than other motley troops, and this is the most expensive currency to be squandered. The rest of the troops can learn while fighting on the battlefield (if it costs an extra for this, it can only be said that this is a tuition fee that must be paid), because they are just cheap cannon fodder. But the legions of high-ranking warlocks, on the one hand, are so powerful that no force other than their kind dares to claim that they can defeat them, and on the other hand, they are so precious that even the entire camp will not have too many.
That's why they're able to put it to the test in real combat here. It's up to everyone to learn about the strengths and weaknesses of The Destroyer through combat testing, not just on paper.
"That's what you've tried, you've seen! This creature's armor can greatly reduce magic damage," one of the officers said loudly. "In particular, the magic of the seventh and sixth laws has less than one-tenth of the effect. Moreover, their structure makes it difficult for them to lose consciousness, or to be deluded by hallucinations, and even after losing consciousness, they are able to recover in a very short time. This means that the most commonly used seventh law magic has little effect on them. ”
Almost everyone tested it just now. Powerful spells cast by multiple warlocks can only put the creatures to sleep for a short time - not ineffective, but for a short time. This means that if you can't destroy the enemy quickly, then the seventh law spell won't work very well. Similarly, the effects of the Sixth Law magic have been reduced to the limit. If you fight alone, it may have some effect, but when fighting in a group, it can only be said that talking is better than nothing, and at most it can only make the Destroyer hesitate a little.
This is a complete explanation for why Stygian's investment in the Warlock Legion is still ineffective. Kecha Goyat must have taken specific measures in the development and manufacture of these creatures.
"So, if you want to destroy them as quickly as possible, the only way is this!" the officer stopped his magic and watched the dying Destroyer stagger to his feet again. These creatures are made for war, and their will to fight is so tenacious that it dwarfs a race like humanity. Even in this situation, it still wants to fight, and it rushes to the powerful enemy without fear.
The officer's hand made a forward swing. In an instant, The Destroyer's head burst open like a ripe fruit falling from a branch to the ground, splitting apart in an instant.
The Destroyer's massive body finally fell to the ground with weakness.
The officer walked around the perimeter, and the destroyers, who were the subjects of the exercise, numbered about twenty, and all of them were killed by headshots.
Many people were moved, because each of them had learned from previous training and testing how tenacious this creature was. Or rather, Kecha Goatt created them to fight the Warlocks. The anti-magic armor (a marvelous technological achievement, Stygian has mobilized all its strength to crack it, but has so far found nothing) is the nemesis of magic. To deal with them, some people say that general-purpose rifles are better than magic.
Even if the opponent's energy shield is exhausted, it will still be difficult to kill them. The most common combat strategy of Warlocks, which is to tear apart each other directly with magic power like tearing a piece of paper, or throwing them to death, is difficult to implement against the Destroyer. On the one hand, due to the anti-magic armor, the Warlock exerts only one-tenth of his strength, and on the other hand, the Destroyer has a very strong body. To kill them, even for a warlock, it takes all your might. And as we all know, under the premise of going all out, the endurance of the warlocks is actually not very strong. Even if the opponent stood still, killing three or five would be enough to make the warlock feel tired, and the magic power would be unsustainable.
If you want to get a direct headshot like this, it's not that you can't do it, but it's too labor-intensive. Killing so many is still nothing, either you are talented or have special skills.
This time, the answer is clearly the latter.
"It's very difficult to kill them with magic, so many people think that they should be limited by magic and then killed with weapons, but this is a wrong view. The officer continued. "It's all a matter of technology. The key is to avoid their armor. ”
He simulated it once in front of everyone, and the magical residues left in the air could tell others directly what was going on. It's not that complicated, it gathers the magic and punches it into the exposed part of The Destroyer's face in a spiral motion. The Destroyer's head was easily torn apart.
"The core is this, the part of them that is not armored. ”
The Destroyer is clad in demon-resistant armor, but there are still some parts of it exposed. With careful analysis and search of living organisms, it is not difficult to find these gaps. For example, the head, this part is fatal and lacks protection.
"If you condense the mana small enough not to touch the armor, you can easily kill them. The officer said. The combination of the original energy shield and anti-magic armor can be said to be very advantageous in dealing with magic power, and it is extremely resistant to beating. But when the two can't be combined, the energy shield's defensive effect in the face of the magic of the third law is really limited.
In the face of the magic of the Third Law, ordinary humans can be crushed with just one stroke, and the Destroyer with the energy shield is slightly better, requiring two hits.
"This technique takes a little time to master. The officer said after the presentation. It's a technique, but it's not magic. It is a valuable experience that can only be gained after sufficient investment and casualties.
He was somewhat satisfied to see that someone was already secretly experimenting in private.
This legion of high-ranking warlocks usually undergoes special tactical deployment and training before going into battle, so that each soldier understands the idea of combat, the characteristics of the enemy, and what the goal of the battle is. It will take some time, but by the time they actually enter the battlefield, everyone will know that all the preparation is worth it.
Judging from the current situation, he didn't think that Kaicha Goyat had the possibility of fighting against the high-level warlocks. The Destroyer is a creature that is an elite force for ordinary humans, and a barely able opponent for a low-level warlock legion, but in front of a high-level warlock, even if they can't find a good way to deal with the anti-magic armor and energy shield, they are far from being a strong enemy. When a high-level warlock is killed on the battlefield, it basically happens when he is besieged by dozens or even hundreds of times the enemy.
In front of the high-ranking warlocks who fought in the group, they were destined to be vulnerable.
