Chapter 1394: Breaking Up the Beast Tide
With the arrival of the demon tide, the flames of war and the smoke of gunpowder have never dissipated!
Almost everywhere in the Wizarding Continent, you can hear terrible news of alien beast invasions or riots in the Black Forest. Either way, it will bring terrifying disasters and unparalleled shocks to the local mortal world.
From time to time, we can hear that a certain region has suffered heavy casualties due to the invasion of unknown alien beasts, or that a former human kingdom has been destroyed by a plague outbreak or an invasion of alien beasts...... The more such news I heard, the more panic it caused among the people.
They took their wives and mouths to catch up with the few remaining livestock, or they took refuge in the mountains, or followed the great flow of people to the areas that had been safe so far. Among them, the Elovis and Hayworth regions ruled by the Crimson family have undoubtedly become the safest isolated islands.
People living in these two regions have reason to rejoice in their well-being.
Every time they saw an astonishing number of floating ships floating in the sky, and every time they passed the border checkpoint and saw rows of tall and powerful metal magic weapons, a sense of security came from the bottom of their hearts.
Due to the large amount of preparation work done by the Crimson family in advance, almost all the safety hazards in the two regions were monitored in advance. Therefore, during the first round of the Demon Tide, all the alien beasts that had slipped into the Crimson Territory before they had time to show their strength were wiped out by the clan forces that heard the news.
The direct consequence of this is that 31 large and small areas in the central part of the continent, and other regions have more or less broken out of more or less serious invasions of alien beasts. But only in the two regions ruled by Crimson, not even a shadow of a monster was seen.
Not to mention the invasion of otherworldly monsters, even the Black Forest adjacent to the Elovis region, where the monster lords had just gathered a group of beasts and low-level monsters, and before they could break out of the forest, they were surrounded by floating giant ships that heard the news.
As soon as the Crimson Fleet arrived, without saying a word, it directly dropped the Demon Dragon No. 1 that was carried. Along with the Dragon One, there was also a magical warband with a number of two thousand.
They are no longer the heavy, clumsy, old machines that spew a lot of white steam in the past, but PG-52 combat magic machines that have been repeatedly improved and strengthened by dozens of generations of goblins.
If you look at the comprehensive performance, the basic combat power of a PG-52 type combat magic weapon is already comparable to that of a second-order wizard. If you consider the fierceness and obedience to death of the magic weapons, then their cost performance is far higher than that of second-order wizards.
However, the power of magic weapons cannot be infinitely magnified.
Basically, the PG-52 Combat Weapon is already the pinnacle of Magical Combat Machinery!
This also means that Tier 2 is already the limit of mass-produced magical weapons.
If you want to increase the power of magic weapons, you must use more expensive magic energy alloys and use more rare metal resources. And the limitations of resources and materials obviously cannot allow the magic weapon to expand indefinitely.
However, the birth of the magic weapon puppet dragon still earned a little face for the demon weapon in the end. Relying on the outstanding performance of the Demon Dragon No. 1, the goblin magic machine finally has a work that can be used at the high-level level.
Therefore, when the huge metal body of the Demon Dragon No. 1 with a height of 100 meters appeared in the Black Forest, and walked all the way through the depths of the dense forest to a wide avenue tens of meters wide, the herd of beasts that had just gathered together collapsed.
With a huge metal body, Dragon No. 1 is a super magic weapon that can fight against Tier 4 wizards. Although he has a lack of movement and a lot of defensive blind spots under his body, with the assistance of the two thousand combat magic weapons behind him, everything is no longer a problem.
The beasts and monsters that had just gathered were like a flock of frightened lambs running around in the depths of the dense forest, being driven by the Demon Dragon No. 1 and the demonic wargroup behind them like a hunt, killing at will.
Those monsters who were provoked by the demon tide with a brutal nature also launched a fierce charge against the demon weapon wargroup in groups of three or five. Unfortunately, their bravery and fury were shattered in front of the indestructible tall bodies of the Battle Weapon.
In the face of an unstoppable metal frenzy, individual bravery and bravery are of no avail. Although the scattered powerful monster lords can also set off small waves, they will be shattered like huge waves hitting the reef in an instant, turning into dots of debris and disappearing without a trace.
Poison Twilight Lizardmen, Heartbreakers, Gnolls, Wood Thorns, Blackscale Lizardmen, Windwinged Birds, Arachnid Apes, Forest Trolls, Woad Treants, Mud Snow Monsters, Armored Bears, Skull-Crushing Ogres, Earth Crystal Men, Hundred-Eyed Ghosts, Stone Singers, Giant Winged Serpents, ......
To be honest, the Black Forest of the wizarding world is simply a treasure trove of monsters, all kinds of monsters in all forms, and the number is even more terrifying.
Any of these monster leaders who come out alone are terrifying and terrifying guys, but once they encounter an organized magic weapon warband, they will become small shrimps who fight alone and can't set off the wind and waves.
In the face of the easy siege of the city and the siege of the Demon Dragon No. 1, in the face of the fierce artillery fire and the magic weapon wargroup that does not hesitate to do so, in the face of the floating giant ship that controls the overall situation in the sky...... After several thorny monster leaders were killed on the spot by the magic cannon, the remaining little ones scattered as birds and beasts, and fled into the depths of the dense forest without a trace.
For a while, in the Black Forest in the northeast corner of the entire Elovis region, there was no trace of any monsters within three thousand miles.
After driving the monsters farther away, the Demon Warband chose to retreat into the family instead of continuing the pursuit. However, within the three-thousand-mile border, the Crimson Fleet has left behind some hidden watchdog arrays.
In this way, it would be impossible for the monsters to hide any follow-up actions from the eyes of the Crimson family.
The buffer zone of three thousand miles was enough for the Crimson family to survive this magic tide smoothly.
You know, it's not so easy for the monster lords to organize a large-scale beast tide. They don't have any concept of logistics or organization.
With the power of their lords, they could only barely suppress the beasts for two or three days. Gather the herd, and persecute and induce the herd to move towards the human settlement......
Such a complex operation is even fine. But once the target of the attack is thousands of miles away, how to suppress the restlessness of the beast herd and let them reach the attack site smoothly has become an impossible task.
No high-level beast was willing to endure three or five days of hunger to sneak up on human towns across three thousand miles, after all, any prey that was everywhere around them could be fed. And once the high-level fierce beasts began to hunt at will, the many beasts and fierce birds that had been brought with them would scatter and flee, and it would be difficult to control them anymore.
Therefore, in a way, a buffer zone of 3,000 miles is enough to become an insurmountable barrier for the beasts!
Of course, the Crimson Family's near-crushing expulsion method is not something that any wizarding family can learn. He wanted to find a place where the beasts were entrenched in the dangerous Black Forest, and then send the elite of the family to disperse its core and main force in one go, and take advantage of the situation to expel them to a certain safe distance.
To accomplish such an operation, what is needed is a highly mobile team that is capable of fighting and is not limited by terrain and geographical environment.
There are only a handful of wizard troops in most wizarding families that can barely reach this standard, and the rest are either not strong enough in their fists or lack flying mounts that can maneuver at high speeds in the Black Forest......
And once it is impossible to break up the herd with thunderbolt and thunder, then in the dark and deep Black Forest, a bloody and fierce official war will be staged. And this is not good news for the wizarding forces who are deep in enemy territory.
The resources and financial resources of the big family are relatively abundant, and they can control multiple wizard troops with strange combat abilities at the same time. But most small and medium-sized wizarding families may only have a wizarding army within the family that has worked so hard to pull up.
And once the main force of such a family is lost in the Black Forest, I am afraid that the entire family will also collapse and become a third-rate force from now on.
Therefore, without complete certainty, no wizard family dared to send valuable combat power to raid the beast herd. They prefer to hold on to the Wizard's Tower at ease, and defend against the onslaught of the beasts with war towers and witch beasts.
With the strength of the monster lords, it is still difficult to break through an official witch tower.
Therefore, the safety of the wizards is guaranteed, and the wizard army is not at risk of being wiped out.
However, the great disasters that the swarming beast tide may bring to the family territory have become inevitable!
However, in the eyes of wizards, the loss of official wizards and wizard troops is unacceptable. And those mortals in the family domain, their losses are just some numbers on the books for wizards.
Although the death of a large number of people will also be a headache for wizards, it is also something that wizards will never do to ask them to use their lives to protect these so-called 'possessions'.
The loss of 'property' can be slowly made up, but the loss of the family's precious wizard resources becomes absolutely unacceptable!
It is this conservative and short-sighted style of wizards that makes the beast tide so aggressive and harmful, bringing constant turmoil and deep suffering to the entire wizarding continent.
Compared to the fragmented organizations in the middle of the continent, the three major wizarding organizations showed a high level of organization and discipline.
The Silver Alliance has a lot of money, and in order to cope with the demon tide, it began to shrink the population of the territory, temporarily relocating mortals to inland areas far away from the spatial rifts and the Black Forest. In the border town fortresses, there are a lot of metal structures and golem creations.
Relying on these indestructible, massive number of puppet construct creatures, the Silver Alliance has withstood the onslaught of several waves of Black Forest beast tides. Although the financial losses were relatively large, the people and territories were protected and safe.
