Chapter 380: Nervous Air of Preparation

The transcendent powers represented by professionals such as arcanists occupy the mainstream position of high-end power in the new world, and the large number of clergy is the result of this hard . On the other hand, in conventional warfare, there are very few people in power who agree to use this level of combat power to participate in it. Just as the old world has had a strategic deterrent with nuclear weapons, the nuclear powers have never been able to fight a decent armed conflict with each other. No matter how irritated you may be, a global thermonuclear war in which less than one percent of the population will survive in a world of environmental radiation is not something that either side would be happy to see.

As the destructive power of weaponry grows, rules restricting the use of violence are established, and the situation in the old world is exactly the same in the new world. Removing those madmen who are not mentally normal and constantly trying to destroy the world of Miè, and simply fighting a war that can only bring ruin Miè is a crazy plan that cannot be accepted by those who still have sanity.

In the past, the high-end war between the Demon Card Master and the Aragami left a lot of wounds in the New World, and it is said that no less than 200 prosperous cities in the main material realm alone were affected and turned into ashes in the war, and the total area of the enclave islands that directly hit the land sink is comparable to that of the entire main continent.

Nature and the long time can effectively repair the damage caused by the war, and this long-term residual negative impact still makes the later gods more jealous and rational, even if they can win the war, it is not surprising that they will be dragged to the astral plane by the negative wishes of the dead intelligent creatures to sleep forever. If it weren't for that, in the face of Luo Zhengdao, a magic card master who suddenly appeared, how could the gods behave like this? Of course, it's not because their combat power is not strong enough, or because they have no intention of being an enemy of Luo Zhengdao, no one likes to watch potential threats continue to grow. You must know that the magic card master with a glorious record of slaughtering gods is also the only one in the history books, and it can be said that he is a thorn in the side of the gods.

The crux of the matter is that a war that is uncontrollable is unlikely to produce a winner, especially when it comes to the gods, so why should they rush to kill themselves?

As the genuine successor of the magic card master, Luo Zhengdao does have potential, and if he can be strong enough to single-handedly take on multiple gods, it is also a distant thing. Even from the perspective of the time scale of the gods, not to mention when Luo Zhengdao will have the ability to destroy most of the gods, knowing that there will be a war like this, do they think that they will not die fast enough? If you don't die, you won't die!

After finishing the routine inspection work and returning to the office, Luo Zhengdao said to himself:

"Hehehehe, the drow elves are living too leisurely, and those bitches have time to come to me for trouble."

After looking down and thinking for a while, he pressed the summoning bell on the table, and after a few seconds, an attendant opened the door and walked in, bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, what are your orders for summoning me?"

"Well, I'm going to issue a new privateer license. Any drow warship that captures them, as well as the pirate ship that captures them, can receive a reward in Qiongzhou. Oh, and remember to inform the Archon Coffey to come and see me. ”

Hearing this, the attendant officer answered, turned around and went outside to prepare paperwork, Vina Dubov, who happened to be in time to deliver dinner, happened to hear the next few words, she looked at Luo Zhengdao with a look of surprise, and said:

"Will, what did those drows do?"

At this time, a slight chill appeared from Luo Zhengdao's smile, and he said:

"The Queen Spider ordered them to assassinate me, although it was a plan, but I am already angry, and Drow must suffer the consequences of this."

During the conversation, Kofi Angell, who had rushed from the Archon's Residence, also stepped into the office of the Consulate, and he listened carefully to the situation relayed by Luo Zhengdao, and was immediately furious. Needless to say, for those hardcore members of the Qiongzhou faction, they count on the happy life of themselves and their children and grandchildren, and whoever dares to touch a hair of him, these die-hard supporters dare to kill the whole family. After a brief moment of astonishment, the angry Archon raised his head, and said with a murderous expression:

"Your Majesty, your will is the supreme guide of our actions, please do not worry, those long black ears are dead."

Luo Zhengdao's anger towards the consul is understandable, and at the moment he is more concerned about the actual situation than the catharsis of his momentary feelings, saying:

"Also, is there any response to the news I sent someone to collect?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, we already have a clue. The accuracy of the information is being verified from a variety of sources, and it is available immediately if you need it. ”

Hearing the sound, he touched his chin and looked at Archon Coffey, Luo Zhengdao shook his head and said:

"Hmm, no need, wait until you confirm the results, you can't rush to collect the evidence of the overlord!"

In the ancient legend, gathering seven pieces of evidence of the overlord can realize a wish, which is also one of the countless bizarre rumors in the new world of sword and magic, Luo Zhengdao, who has always been suspicious, will not pin all his hopes on such an ethereal thing, he has an attitude of holding grass and beating rabbits in this matter. From the analysis of the evidence of the overlord that has been obtained, there is no doubt that it is a very valuable treasure, if it can be caught in his own hands, it is also a good thing, but this does not mean that it is wise to take a huge risk to go out to pursue the illusion of nothingness without reliable clues, and it is not Luo Zhengdao's style to act recklessly.

In the midst of a storm of tension, the New World has been quiet for a few months, and to those in the know, it is tantamount to the last moment of calm before the storm, and the longer this quiet drags on, the more terrifying the coming storm becomes, and whether this is true remains to be known.

"Huhu...... 陛xià! 陛xià! Demons and devils, they're coming to the sea! ”

The sweaty scouts who broke into Law's office were among the elite cadres he had personally appointed, and as His Majesty's most trusted eyes and ears, they enjoyed the privilege of meeting directly without the need for a briefing from the guards.

The extreme proximity between Qiongzhou, where it lives, and the main continent makes it impossible for the human regime on this island to relax its vigilance at any time, and a large reconnaissance net spread by daily fishing activities covers an area of more than 500 nautical miles around Qiongzhou Island, and there are observers stationed by the Admiralty on each fishing boat, and all large and small fishing boats are responsible for espionage business part-time. The navy's specialized dhows reconnaissance ships are centered on the outlet of Chishui, patrolling the coastal waters day and night to listen to the situation, contact those foreign tribes, and from time to time to visit the ports where the goblin navy is berthed, so as to ensure that there will not be a bad situation in which the goblin fleet has just learned the news when it arrives at the doorstep.

Suddenly hearing such news, Luo Zhengdao was startled at first, then squinted his eyes and began to think, and said slowly:

"No, it won't! The fall of the main continent began in the heartland, far from the coastline! ”

Smell the sound and finally get from the devil and the devil. The ace spy who escaped from the battlefield shook his head again and again, and said:

"Your Majesty, it's true, I saw it with my own eyes, and there will be no mistake. Barlow Flame Demon and many unnamed demons and devils, from the sky to the earth, the scene was too terrible and terrifying, fortunately they were busy fighting each other, and they had no interest in our little boat, but the aftermath of the battle almost made us unable to come back. ”

Bloody war is not a big problem, Luo Zhengdao has not fought a bloody battle, no matter how tragic the scene is, it has become a trivial matter, and now the devil and demons are pulling the battlefield near the coastline, which is indeed a big bad thing for him! Originally, it was the main way to quickly expand the population base of the kingdom by regularly guiding the fugitive slaves from the main continent to board ships near the coast and come to Qiongzhou, but the bloody war suddenly changed places and started fighting, so as to block the best way for human slaves to flee overseas, this matter is not a small problem that can be revealed casually, and Luo Zhengdao cannot ignore it.

Thinking about the stakes, Luo Zhengdao, whose face gradually turned cold, said like a whisper:

"If you want others to respect your rights, you must first let them see how big and hard your fists are, don't hide our weapons, it's time to show them to everyone."

No matter how powerful the titan is, the giant ship that is almost the first in the new world in terms of tonnage, it can't drive on land, and the future sky overlord floating battleship has not yet been put into practical use, although the preliminary samples are available, Nai will drop anchor from time to time, and it basically belongs to a paper tiger that looks quite bluffing, and the actual combat power is about equal to five. If you want to show off your strength to deter all kinds of powerful people, including the lower planes, Luo Zhengdao will inevitably have to take out some dry goods with content from his pocket, and no one can be scared if he blindly talks about it, and no one is scared these days

"Whew-"

The loud sound of the high-pressure steam whistle is very penetrating, and it can vaguely make people feel the great power contained in it, which is exactly what Luo Zhengdao wants others to feel.

It is powered by the latest steam-powered, over-the-top all-metal tracks, and the body is covered with welded wrought iron armor plates, as well as a slightly square-headed slewing turret and several small machine gun turrets at the top. This large ship, which resembles all the land vehicles in the New World, is more like a small ironclad ship that has landed ashore, and it is a steam tank that combines the results of multiple single-digit top-secret engineering research, and theoretically fully meets the standards of the multi-turret Cult that has a grudge against multi-riveting. Although the way of travel is slow and clumsy, and the cross-country speed is only slightly faster than the average person's trot, which is really sad, but the furious fire of the four-pounder cannon and the defense power far beyond the human capacity still make the audience experience the instinctive horror of facing a steel behemoth.

With that invisible sense of spiritual oppression, anyone with a little vision can feel that this seemingly clumsy strange thing is by no means a fresh toy for people's amusement, but a real murderous weapon.

Following a series of technical indicators proposed by Luo Zhengdao, weapon designers and engineers tried various solutions, just to meet the perverted requirements of His Majesty the King that the tank must be able to withstand direct fire equivalent to the caliber of its own main gun, and had to sacrifice other excellent ideas.

Compared to the classic three elements of the Old World tank armored vehicles, speed, firepower, and defense, this slow-moving, steam tank that looks like a big turtle has the strongest defense. The bulky and inefficient steam engine slowed down the overall performance as expected, especially the thick black smoke chimney erected at the back of the car, which was so ugly and strange that the traveler could not bear to look at it directly. The tank's four-pounder gun was fairly decent, striking an ideal balance between the rate of fire of the gun and the power of the projectile, leaving secondary tasks such as sweeping away enemy infantry and aircraft to the machine-gun towers on the hull.
