On the eve of the final battle against Mordor, the military research of the Terrans on the dwarves and elves has made the Terrans face this imminent military revolution, and the firearms of the Dwarves are undoubtedly ahead of the Terrans.

What did Lelouch write in his tent after the meeting, today's report gave Lelouch a great shock, Lelouch knew that he had an imminent need to carry out a large-scale military revolution for the regular forces of the Empire, a military revolution that could almost be said to completely abandon cold weapons, and now Lelou revised his reform ideas for the future Terran army on paper:

After the end of the battle of Mordor, Lelouch will immediately begin military reform, this time the reform of Lelouch although it is not clear what the final development direction of the Academy of Magic and Steam City will be, but now Lelouch still came up with a compromise solution, that is, the Steam City and the characteristic army of the Academy of Magic Science are grouped and built, in popular terms, the industrial army belongs to the industrial army, and the magic army belongs to the magic army.

In the future, first of all, we must comprehensively carry out firearms reform in the conventional troops, the cold weapon army should be completely eliminated, the musketeers will be deployed in a large area, and the equipment can be slightly simplified, and the muskets will use the latest armor-piercing muskets, which do not need to be enchanted, so as to facilitate mass production, and the musketeers will be directly equipped with bayonets, completely abandoning swords and shields and spears, simplification and flattening will be the development direction of the front-line conventional troops in the future, the most important of which is the garrison and the imperial knights, In the future, the garrison will be completely a firearms army, the equipment of the Imperial knights will be appropriately lightened, the vests of the horses will be completely eliminated to reduce the weight, and the knights will be equipped with revolvers in addition to the conventional weapons of rifles and swords and shields.

The garrison will be built as an army that completely relies on industrial civilization, the direction of the garrison is the direction of the dwarves, and it is also the direction of the future development of the earth, the garrison has the largest number of people and the most versatile uses, so mass production and easy maintenance are the most important, and the Guardian will become a magical army, and the Academy of Magic Science will become the support behind the Guardian Army.

The equipment of the Church Guards is still relatively heavy, but it will be appropriately streamlined, more lean rather than heavy, and the weapons are not much different from the garrisons, they are also muskets, but there are more enchanted spears and shields, and the difference is mainly concentrated in the Templars of the Church Guards, the Templars are not equipped with muskets, but are equipped with enchantments, their armor and weapons are all enchanted, and the tactics are mainly medieval tactics, knight charges, they rely on strong melee ability, Imperial knights are similar to multi-functional knights, The Templars, on the other hand, were heavily armed shock knights.

The Templars' armor was also a little more expensive, as they would mix a small amount of Mithril with a small amount of obsidian, both of which would allow their armor to be able to fire with a large number of muskets if they were not face-to-face.

The Praetorian Guards above are a combination of all the top technologies of Steam City and the Academy of Magic, enchanted armor and melee equipment, their armor is first produced by Steam City Seiko, and then carefully enchanted by the Academy of Magic, and the enchantments are all high-level magic, not like the assembly line enchantment of the Guardians, muskets, grenades, swords, shields, war spears, and even the white silk cloak is also enchanted.

As Lelouch's future personal guard, the tactics of the Praetorian Guard will not change, but the equipment will be more luxurious, and the God of War Legion and the Knights of Judgment will be the same as the Praetorian Guard, but the emphasis will be different.

Lelouch is still quite satisfied with his idea of the three armies in the future, no matter how the human civilization will develop in the future, at least the current military revolution will not have any impact, and he can also fully exert his own strength, Lelouch wrote everything in detail, which also made him write very late, fortunately, the current Lelouch is barely a demigod, and it is nothing to not sleep for a night or two.

Putting away the military reform he had written, Lelouch stood up and stretched slightly, and then walked out of his camp, today, he will launch an attack on Mordor, at this time the camp has begun to have a large number of logistics soldiers get up and start working, they prepare hot water for breakfast, because there is a river next to the inland sea, so there is no shortage of fresh water resources at all, hot water is a good thing, whether it is used to drink or wash, for the soldiers to enjoy very much.

Lelouch has always regarded logistics support as the top priority, as long as there are conditions, logistics must be the best, for example, the current morning can still use hot water is the best embodiment, Lelouch naturally also has guards to send hot water, Lelouch hurriedly washed, felt the hot water on the towel to his slightly tired face to bring a warm touch, put the towel down, the cool breeze in the early morning blew in the face to make Lelouch feel directly refreshed.

"How's everything going down here?"

"Your Majesty, the troops of the first wave of attacks have been deployed to the front yesterday afternoon, and in half an hour it will be time to get up for breakfast and get ready to go."

Lelouch snorted, and walked to the barracks after washing up slightly, he wanted to go to the front-line troops to see, the area of the barracks was very large, when Lelouch walked over, the front-line army had already begun to eat, they were dressed neatly at this time, weapons and equipment were neatly placed aside, and their spirits were exceptionally good after washing with hot water, Leluxiu's arrival did not attract the attention of the soldiers, because Lelouch only brought a Qin Chuan by his side, and it was not a human emperor uniform but an ordinary military uniform, After using magic to hide your breath for a while, you really won't notice it if you don't look closely.

Lelouch glanced at the soldier's food at random, steaming meat buns, white rice, refreshing kimchi and bone broth, because the battle would be fought later, so the porridge in the morning was replaced with dry rice, and the rich nutritious food of thick bone broth was added to ensure that every soldier could have sufficient strength in the next battle, and the soldiers had a small backpack, in which a medical kit and a bag of dry food were placed, which ensured that the soldiers could fight on the front line for a long time, After all, it is impossible to rotate troops in half a day in a battle, and if the war stalemate requires these soldiers to stay on the front line for a while, it can also ensure that they have sufficient strength.

The dry food is mainly some biscuits and sausages, of course, the kettle is standard, not counted in the dry food bag, the soldiers rely on the medical kit and the dry food bag to fight for a long time, this is much more thoughtful than other Middle-earth forces, they are equipped with a kettle or water hose at most.

Inspected a group, the fighting spirit of the soldiers is very high, eat well, sleep well, their own military appearance is strong, the soldiers are optimistic about the victory of the battle, the front-line army is no longer the soldiers of each force live separately, but are relatively close, Lelouch on the way back also casually took a look at the dwarf and elf army, they are also in good shape, slightly relieved Lelouch returned to the command platform, there are already people standing here, the staff officers are also busy, One by one, the troops were ready to stand in their predetermined positions, and soon there were more and more troops on the entire front, and the first batch of 20,000 troops was ready to attack outside the range of Mordor's firepower.

Although the first batch is only 20,000 people, but as a support force, artillery, warships, and airships will be fully exhausted, especially ground artillery and air airships, their firepower is extremely powerful, and even gunboats will directly use cannons to strafe the ground, of course, their accuracy is not very good, but the victory is more, if Mordor wants to defend the city wall, he must send people to gather on the city wall, and the firepower of the gunboats is not afraid of hitting people.

The first batch of 200,000 troops on the ground looked endless, the crowd-like ranks lined up neatly, the front line was the Terran musketeers, they lined up in a musket phalanx to walk in front, and the dwarven musketeers as light infantry in front of the Terran musketeers, they were short, and they were not afraid of being hit by the Terran musketeers' platoon guns, and they acted as skirmishers very well, and behind the Terran muskets were the Terran garrison soldiers, who held shields and war spears like a steel city wall, In addition to the two rows of Terran soldiers in the front, there is a row of elven swordsmen and a row of Terran shield spearmen in the back.

In the third line, there is a dense group of elven archers and their minions, Wood Archers, who will use projectiles to deliver ultra-long-range strikes and medium-range fire coverage.

The three lines are lined up on the ground, the simple and rough front represents strong adaptability, and behind them is the huge number of artillery positions, the dwarve's artillery is a little ahead, the Terran artillery is behind the lover, the dwarves have a total of two front door artillery, it is said that even the artillery of the defensive city wall has been removed and caught on the front line, and the Terran is even more terrifying, the Terran steam industry assembly line produces artillery, the number of artillery has reached a terrifying 10,000, and the entire artillery position is laid on the unfolded surface of the entire position, And the density is not low, 12,000 artillery pieces are enough to hit the most earth-shattering firepower, and it is really because of so many artillery pieces that the coalition forces have the confidence to attack the Black Gate, the 'Horn Fortress' of Mordor.

Even in the face of this kind of firepower in a powerful fortress, coupled with at least ten Alduin, a hundred gunboats in the sky, three hundred elven warships of all sizes on the river, hundreds of terrifying magic crystal cannons, and nearly four thousand crossbows of various colors, although the coalition army only sent 200,000 offensive troops, it prepared all its heavy firepower for them.

The orc soldiers on the black gate looked nervously at the ocean-like coalition soldiers under the city, the momentum of 200,000 people was absolutely amazing, although there were more Mordor soldiers, but the Mordor soldiers themselves couldn't see it, compared to their own numbers, the number stopped in their ears, or the 200,000 enemy troops in front of them appeared in their eyes were more shocking.

As the time crossed 9.30, a signal rose into the air, and the coalition troops that were ready in front began to advance, and behind them, all kinds of heavy weapons began to support, showing that a dwarf calibration bullet and the Terran calibration bullet hit the past, the black gate was very large, and the distance between the artillery positions was very far, but without considering the accuracy, this large lifting shot was able to shoot the cannonball far enough away on the black door, and the two calibration shells crossed the long air one after the other and fell in front of the black door and behind the black door, the black door did not play any role, and the cannonball behind the black door hit a house under the castle, causing the death of two goblin logistics soldiers.

This war of three million people began with these two shells and two goblins.

Rumble!!!

Rumble!!!

Rumble!!!

Shaking the heavens and the earth, deafening, shaking the earth and shaking the mountains, and thunderbolts on a sunny day! The salvo of 12,000 artillery pieces was huge, and the picture of tens of thousands of shells crossing the sky was even more terrifying, the dense cannonballs were as dense as the overwhelming locusts, and they were fearful, and the Mordor soldiers on the opposite black gate looked at this scene in disbelief, until tens of thousands of shells all fell on the black gate, and the black gate fell into a sea of fire in an instant, and the buildings behind the black gate also received a large number of waves, and even the Black Gate Castle was hit by stray bullets.

However, the people in the Black Gate Castle didn't have time to rejoice, they specifically aimed at the heavy weapons of the Black Gate, and fired, and the ten Ao Du Yi in the air almost all of their artillery guns were aimed at the Black Gate Fortress in the distance, when the hundreds of magic crystal cannons began to flicker light blue energy fluctuations, countless bright rays of light shot out, and the beam full of flames and thunder magic energy hit the Black Gate Castle fiercely, and hundreds of attacks directly hit the Black Gate Fortress, their explosion power was even more amazing, and the piercing power was extremely strong.

On the ground is the artillery position that began to fire freely, the dense smoke of gunpowder covered the entire artillery position, the almost uninterrupted artillery sound sounded all the time, the flames of the muzzle did not stop at all, the shells were smashed towards the black door one after another, the sky was constantly shooting light airship troops, and the pale black machine gun shells were ploughing on the ground over and over again like raindrops.

The elven fleet on the river was equipped with a flame spearhead, sending countless fire oil bombs into the walls of the Black Gate through the crossbows, and specifically firing at those sharp watchtowers, and the huge crossbow bolts with flames formed a meteor sea of rockets like flaming arrows.

This magnificent scene made the morale of the coalition soldiers directly burst, and the legions behind them who were watching the battle and recuperating were eager to change themselves to attack now, while the coalition troops who were the first batch of troops were striding forward in a passionate mood, and the enemy and the black gate in front of them were no longer visible, all they could see were the countless bursting flames and thick gunsmoke, and all kinds of shells in the sky that would never stop.
