"Your Majesty, why didn't you just slaughter these bastards? Banish them only, the punishment is too light! ”

Hearing this question, Luo Zhengdao said that he had no deep meaning at first, and then he couldn't stand it, so he replied with a sneer:

“…… All right! Actually, it's because I don't want them to die so easily. ￥f”

Hearing such a vicious reply, the embarrassed-looking subordinates surrendered to the ground, and the probability of being expelled from the organization in this great famine environment was estimated to be worse than being eaten by wild beasts, and no matter what method of death was more painful than public execution. If one thinks outwardly from this argument, one quickly realizes that His Majesty's belly is far more black than the average tyrant.

No matter how miraculous the magic card master's ability was, Luo Zhengdao could not conjure up endless food to feed the hungry people in the wilderness, and could only use his knowledge and wisdom, as well as the violent means necessary to maintain order, to ensure that as many people as possible survived this disaster.

The hard days of dealing with the famine were really difficult, but fortunately, Luo Zhengdao still survived, compared to the real sword with the enemy. With the fight of guns, it is much more difficult to govern a country well, and he has long been aware of this. With the arrival of the elven merchant fleets from the open sea, the severe state of famine began to gradually ease, and Luo Zhengdao, who was a little relieved, could finally transfer some of his energy to another major event, and seize the time to strengthen the army.

The previous verbal agreement between the goblins and Luo Zhengdao was limited to the cessation of the armed conflict and the release of human slaves, and the most important land and peace issues were not deeply addressed at all.

The goblins deliberately ignored this disagreement, and Luo Zhengdao was happy to pretend to be confused and delay the resolution of the refugee resettlement problem, in addition to this, he was also waiting for a series of new concept weapons developed by himself to be put into practical use. As the saying goes, it's better to have a father and a mother than yourself, the gun in your hand is not hard, and the waist pole is naturally not hard

Half a year later, the sky is still so beautiful blue, like a giant whale standing among the clouds, and the shadow cast by the huge white hull on the ground can cover a town.

"Whew! Finally, this day has arrived, and this is our final battle weapon, a floating battleship equipped with a railgun. ”

Sighing like a silk turning over, Luo Zhengdao knew that things were far from being as simple as he could see with his eyes. It is true that the new weapon of the floating warship is very high-grade, and there are many big and small problems, and the more complex the equipment, the more difficult it is to serve, which is a universal value that can be used everywhere.

Floating warships can certainly soar above the blue sky, but due to their sheer size, they can't move much faster than riding a horse on the ground. Since there is a strategic-level weapon such as a railgun, the firepower strike capability is undoubtedly very powerful, and it takes at least two hourglass times to complete the preparation work for each cooling and charging. Due to its slow moving speed, the air cavalry poses a great threat to floating warships, and it is difficult to withstand saturation attacks by relying on the self-defense firepower of battleships alone, and a large number of fighters must be provided to escort them, and they are still far from the kind of strategic weapons that can push all enemies horizontally.

Despite its many drawbacks, the floating battleship is far from a perfect weapon, and these shortcomings and shortcomings do not prevent it from being a battlefield killer.

The metal projectiles fired by the railgun were enough to destroy the strongest fortresses, and the high above the sky meant that most of the weapons were helpless against the floating battleship, and it was not until the floating battleship set off from Qiongzhou and arrived slowly all the way to the sea off Dongning that Luo Zhengdao had the capital to tear his face with the goblin.

Retaking the Imperial City, looking for the Holy Spring, and then finding the evidence of the overlord of the Sea of Storms, this is Luo Zhengdao's established policy earlier, and the premise of achieving this goal is to defeat the goblins.

Thinking about it with your ass, you know that the traditional army and navy alone can't accomplish this task, only idiots believe that the human army, which is less than one-twentieth of the total number of goblin armies, can sweep away powerful opponents, goblins are a group of soft-footed shrimp to the sea, yes, on land they are by no means waste that eats dry food, and the prestige of the goblin army is forged with the blood of a million human armies. Even if the human army has powerful weapons such as steam tanks and pirate fighters at this stage, at best it can only make up for the disadvantage, and it can be tried to reverse the number of local battles, but if you want to suppress the Second Goblin Empire in the overall strategic operation, it is still a lantern in the toilet!

After admiring the heroic posture of the floating battleship for a while, and realizing that he had embarked on the bright path of being a winner in life, Luo Zhengdao smiled and said:

"Inform the goblins to receive Dongning."

Hearing this, Brando Scarlet, who accompanied him to visit, said puzzledly:

"Your Majesty, you are going to ......"

The corners of Luo Zhengdao's mouth twitched, and he said with a big smile:

"Hahahaha, why give your opponent a chance to find an excuse after defeat? We need to show our strength and determination with the most powerful frontal attack, and we have to tell the goblins that times are different and that they must learn to live with the strong. ”

"Do you have the confidence to win?"

"As long as we don't make mistakes, goblins can't win, don't doubt ourselves, Brando."

The previous agreement with the goblins was to exchange human slaves for the navigation rights of the Great River and the Grand Canal City on the other side of Dongning, and the Second Goblin Empire, which failed to recapture Dongning, was always concerned about this, and failed to complete the set goal of entering the old imperial city, Luo Zhengdao was also dissatisfied, and the short-term peace maintained by the two sides was only a state of truce, and it was by no means the real dawn of peace.

With the passage of time, the effect of the fall of the main continent has gradually become apparent, and the once hot fragrant dumplings have become tasteless and discarded, and without this heavyweight bargaining chip, the contradiction between the Second Goblin Empire and the human exiles has gradually dropped from the mode of extinction warfare to the mode of subjugation of the enemy to the mode of subjugation to me.

The biggest problem at the moment is that the goblins are unwilling to admit that they may be inferior to humans in any way, and they can't let go of the pride of the winners, which is the obstacle to the two sides that have never been able to get along. With the trump card of the floating battleship in his hand at the moment, Luo Zhengdao deliberately came up with a flat push strategy that had no technical content at all, and he made up his mind to convince the goblin. The opponents of the peace talks have nothing to talk about and excuse themselves, and the remaining details that simply involve the division and exchange of interests will not be more troublesome than exchanging the Grand Canal City for human slaves to goblins

"Your Majesty the Emperor, this is a declaration of war sent by mankind."

In the golden hall, the Goblin Emperor received the announcement dictated by Luo Zhengdao from the minister, and then he lowered his head and scanned the contents written in the lingua franca.

“…… In the name of the Kingdom of Light, we hereby announce our decision to recover parts of the Imperial City of the Bright Dynasty with immediate effect, and hereby inform you that the two sides have entered a state of war, and if you refuse to assist, we reserve the right to use force to achieve the above objectives. ”

According to the unwritten rules of the New World, war is generally not declared in war, which is called border friction and armed conflict, and the declaration of war is a public slap in the face, which means that the side declaring war thinks that it has won and intends to completely overwhelm its opponent in terms of momentum.

"Kill those no. Hairy monkeys! ”

"Calm down, does Will Needham look like an idiot? This guy must have a conspiracy! ”

"Hey, are you scared? Like a chick trembling under a hen's wings. ”

"Shut up, idiot! Do you want to die? I'm going to duel you! ”

There is no secret in any situation, a large man like a floating battleship cannot be hidden, let alone a telescope, even if it is dozens of miles away and you can identify the outline of this behemoth with the naked eye, and the goblins are not a group of teasers, can they not monitor the movements of the humans who are close at hand?

After receiving the latest reconnaissance report, the goblin bosses who discussed and discussed in the Xinjing court finally understood that it was not Will Needham who burned his brain by taking the wrong medicine, or forgetting to take the medicine, he really held a powerful hole card that was enough to change the pattern of the battlefield, and this time it was the goblins' turn to be at a loss. Brave and fearless does not mean reckless, if you don't even consider the strength of the opponent and blindly rush up to do it, at the time when the human army drove the ravines all day long, the goblins have been wiped out, and now for them, survival or destruction, this is a question!

"We can't admit defeat, but the combat power of that flying machine has to be tested."

"Send out air cavalry?"

"Don't send out the air cavalry for the time being, gather forces and wait for the opportunity, let the humans do it first, and we'll see what that big ship can do."

After the declaration of war was issued, the floating battleship maintained a cruising altitude of 1,500 yards above the ground, and unhurriedly followed the coastline towards the war-torn Grand Canal City, which seemed to be suffering again. The airspace around the floating battleship, which is roughly spindle-shaped, is full of pirate fighters hovering like a flock of late birds, and the speed of the floating battleship with a hull length of more than a thousand yards is too much different in size compared to the air cavalry, if there is no air power to escort it, it will definitely be hung all the way by the fast and mobile goblin air cavalry, it is better to think of it as a mobile aerial battery.

After the floating battleship entered the effective range, the new captain raised his hand to signal his subordinates to slow down and stop, and said:

"Let's get started! The first test launch was fired with 50 percent power. ”
