Section 45 Cannon Fodder

"Demon-resistant metal?"

"That's the armor that the Destroyer wears. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info it is very thin and has a soft texture. We've tried, and this armor is not very effective against any weapon, including ordinary cold weapons, but it is extremely resistant to the effects of magic. We've established that The Destroyer doesn't actually possess the ability to resist magic, and that their resistance comes from armor made of metal. ”

Aqi looked at the piece of metal. In fact, she'd seen it a million times - all Destroyers wore this kind of metal armor. These humanoid locusts are draped all over their bodies, and they are majestic. But as mentioned earlier, the Destroyer's defense basically relies on their energy shield, and this light and not very hard metal armor seems completely redundant - just like Earth, since the age of firearms, bullets have directly eliminated armor - but why do the soldiers of Kecha Goat wear this kind of armor?

"What do you mean......"

"This is a key that can change the world. The middle-aged man stretched out a finger and poked it. "Change the world. He repeated the word again. "At the moment, the authorities are trying to analyze the principle of this anti-magic metal, but in my personal opinion, they don't seem to have any clue at all. The technological civilization that created this thing is obviously very different from our existing technology tree...... Well, if this is not a miracle obtained by chance, then only a deep understanding of warlocks and magic, and our world, can such a thing be invented. You know, it could even change the balance of power in the whole world. ”

Ah Qi immediately understood the meaning of this sentence. Since the Destroyer has the ability to fight Warlocks when he wears this armor, the same armor that ordinary people wear - or even more simply, on exoskeleton armor - will also have the effect of resisting magic. For the higher-ups, no matter how they look at this matter, whether it is seen as a secret that must be erased, or as a key factor in turning the tide of the war, it is absolutely so important that it must be treated with the utmost care.

"The relevant counteroffensive plans have been suspended, and all the original deployments have been cancelled, and I believe that this news is enough to make the consuls at the highest level think calmly. The war at the Banshee Gate, for now, cannot be hastily intervened. ”

"Kecha Koat...... What the hell do you want to do?"

"The question is not what he wants to do, but what he can do! Aqi, unfortunately, the promise made to you cannot be fulfilled, and you are afraid that you will have to go back to the city of Gashe?"

"Do you continue to serve as an inspector for those shameless remnants of the defeated army? I don't know what the point of this position is in this situation! There are a bunch of demoralized cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death...... Of course, this is easy to understand given that they were a group of fearless deserters. Aki's expression became agitated. "I ask to be transferred out of ......"

"Don't be in such a hurry, Aki, wait until I'm done. This is not entirely bad news. Don't get me wrong, merit must be rewarded, and this time will be no exception. So your position has been promoted. As you said, there really isn't a need for a full-time Ombudsman, a part-time one is enough. So, you will be the commander-in-chief of the regular army of the city of Gashe...... Interim Commander-in-Chief, who also serves as Supervisor ...... You're in charge of everything there! Well done, you should be able to move up the ladder in no time. ”

Aqi's expression changed immediately. As everyone knows, the Ombudsman is actually completely redundant. Normally, the Ombudsman is the Inspector General or the commander of a group appointed by the Governor (of course, the lower Inspector is the Commander of the Legion, but only a few Legions receive this honor) - lest he or she do anything stupid, but after the Governor dies, the Ombudsman becomes a very awkward position. It's not so much an official position as a disguised distribution. The defeated soldiers were clearly of no value to be monitored. Could they have done anything without repairing and replenishing them? Could it be that this group of defeated soldiers still wanted to counterattack with their own strength? Could they still have taken refuge on the side of Kecha Goyat or the Stygian Moon?

This, of course, is completely impossible. Even if the remnants of the defeated generals were willing to do so, they wouldn't want this waste.

If he becomes a commander, then Aqi has completely different permissions. That's right, she would prefer to be promoted in this position than to raise the rank of lieutenant colonel. Once she will take full command of the Gasha region...... Aki knew that this meant that she would have at least fifteen legions at her disposal. This is not a second-rate local army under the governor, but a regular army-level combat force, equipped with a large amount of sophisticated equipment. In fact, these legions were originally the elite troops deployed in Gasher to stop the further expansion of Kechagoat.

Of course, Kecha Goat's strength is indeed very strong, and if it is really serious (let alone go all out), then it will not be able to defend even by relying on Gashe's defenders. But isn't Kecha Goat's army fighting against the legions of the Stygian Moon on the other side of the Banshee's Gate? On Gashe's side, or rather, on the entire front facing the Radiant Moon, Kaicha Goat's army is weak. And this point, Ah Qi has even experienced it herself.

It is true that the destroyer is very strong, but being strong does not mean invincible, and the qualitative advantage can be offset by the quantitative advantage, which is common sense in military affairs. No matter how strong the soldiers of Kecha Goat were, the patrols it left behind at the junction of forces would have no problem dealing with the forces of Gasha City.

Countless thoughts flashed through Aki's mind, then extinguished.

"So, do you have any orders for me?

"You should call me sir!" the middle-aged man sighed, "There are no orders, and it requires action based on the actual situation." As if he understood Aqi's thoughts, the other party replied. According to ...... Practical!"

"When will the relevant appointments be issued?" Aqi's eyes lit up, and the expression had completely betrayed his heart.

"Don't be in such a hurry, Aki, trust me, soon. ”

After Aqi left, the man activated the terminal he had placed on the table - perhaps because of his status, his terminal was much smaller than that of a junior officer. Although it can't be compared with smartphones on the planet, it is also a product that can be carried around without having to be stuffed into a backpack.

Immediately, a voice rang out in the terminal.

"What's the matter?"

"I did as you said. The man rubbed his temples. "You know, that girl is still very young. She was too impulsive and eager to make a difference...... But it's inexperienced. The consequences of giving her command ......"

"She's going to attack Kecha Goat?!ha, isn't that what we want?"

"It's already decided to negotiate with Kecha Goat, why do you need to fight? After all, they are intelligent creatures from a foreign land, and their way of thinking is different from that of humans, and if they get into trouble, they may cause a lot of trouble. ”

"That's something for the Archons to consider, not for you!" the voice became stern. "We don't have the power to negotiate anything, so why should we care about that? Besides, it is only through war that we can figure out how much bargaining chips the other side has. Kecha Goat's previous attack was so sudden and so aggressive that we still don't know how many cards he has......"

"With Aki's abilities, I have a deep doubt that she will be able to succeed! She is so young that I have even heard that she had even tried to use military training to boost the morale of the defeated soldiers...... Very naΓ―ve idea. She was able to succeed this time because she was lucky enough to accomplish a task that no one else could do. ”

"Well, it's best that she's always so lucky. A defeat with a small loss won't affect her much. But if it's a fiasco...... I can only make promises. As long as Aqi survives the defeat, she can live. ”

"If she lives as a criminal, she might as well die. ”

"She should be able to retain her military status, and of course punishment such as demotion is inevitable. ”

……

Lu Wu sat on the makeshift position and looked down.

Now the weather is still cold, and although the wind blows on the face, it is not like a knife, but it is also mixed with a little chill. It's really not a comfortable thing to just sit on a high place and blow the wind.

He was surrounded by a relatively humble position. It's simple, but it's not like there's nothing. There is a complete fortification, or the remains of the fortifications. Layers of breastwork, trenches, and barbed wire are layered on top of each other, and only need simple repairs to be used. There is no doubt that there was a battle here, which ended in the capture of the position.

Judging from the extent of the destruction of these wreckage, it can be seen that nine out of ten of the attackers must have been the locust people known as the "Destroyers". These fortifications were clearly set up in order to deal with humans (ordinary humans), but unfortunately the physical qualities of the destroyers were very different from those of humans. The barbed wire was so riddled with holes that it looked like it had been broken through from the front by the Destroyer - not even a slight deterrent to the enemy. The heavy footprints on the edges of the trenches and breastwalls suggest that the Destroyer is more nimble than they seem, at least jumping over the trenches and breastprints that humans can't pass through.

If the original purpose was to use fortifications to hold back the enemy and take advantage of the opportunity to shoot, then this purpose was completely defeated. However, perhaps someone came after the battle, and there were no bodies to be found in the vicinity.

Now, the fortifications have been slightly tidied up, which means restoration. The core defensive equipment of the position, a heavy weapon known as the electromagnetic turret, is being set up. It was the largest weapon he'd ever seen in the world. In fact, it was so large that it could not even be used with exoskeleton armor, and had to be placed on the ground on a base, like a turret, hence the name "electromagnetic turret". What is incomprehensible is that this weapon is only of this "battery" type, and there is no vehicle-mounted type.

In particular, it should be noted that the power of this weapon is actually no different from the small electromagnetic cannon used by exoskeleton armor, but it has the ability to fire continuously, but the speed of continuous firing is not very exaggerated. Such weapons are capable of having a lethal effect on destroyers. Don't look at the Destroyer's energy shield, but in front of this weapon, two or three hits are enough to make it completely fade, and there is even enough margin to make a big hole in the Destroyer's fragile body.

Of course, this incident in turn shows how powerful this energy shield is. To say that the status of this type of weapon in this world is almost similar to that of RPGs on Earth, it is not so much used against infantry as against machinery. Almost none of the various equipment made by humans can withstand the power of electromagnetic guns head-on. In fact, the main use of such weapons is to deal with all kinds of exoskeleton armor - basically one shot at a time as long as it hits.

Redcoat was still there directing the surveying and trimming work. Lu Wu felt more and more that this former chief, today's subordinates, was really too awesome. He's an all-rounder, and there's nothing he doesn't seem to know about the military.

"Partner, you seem to be a little nervous?" When Lu Wu thought this, the voice of a master sounded in the headphones.
