Verse 57: Marching gossip

The large, slightly bloated troops slowly advanced. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In addition to the combat force composed of more than 800 adventurers, there were also more than 250 earthland officer corps, auxiliaries, and 40 taels of load-bearing carriages produced in a hurry not long ago, which greatly slowed down the speed of the march.

In the procession, a middle-aged man dressed in a scholar-style robe resembled a child, leaning high on his horse, curiously observing the procession back and forth, as if he himself had forgotten the danger of accidentally falling off his horse.

"I said, why did you come with me? If you want to observe, wouldn't it be good to go to the side of the Lord and the glasses? Akiwa Yuba, who was riding and driving with him, was annoyed by his eyes, and said, "And the words over there have already started, right?" There's no need to wait on my side. ”

After the girl finished speaking, the guild members behind her agreed one after another, constantly exuding a stream: "Who are you?" Why does this earth-man uncle walk in it so naturally! Who is it? Go away! The breath of the air.

However, Li Gengen didn't care about the negative aura that kept coming from behind him, and raised his right hand to explain excitedly in the air: "Lord Chenghui, I don't deny that he is an excellent great magician, but judging from the formation of his Second Army, it is just the previous adventurer attack mode, and there is nothing to see..."

"But—" Lee Gengen clenched his hands into fists with an exaggerated expression and raised his voice, "Your Excellency the Courtyard Sage's Third Army has the shadow of the Knights, and this is also a way for adventurers to attack before, so I guess this side will bring me more surprises." ”

"Knights? Ah~ Are you talking about the army? ”

Autumn Garden Yuba glanced at the slightly scattered team in the procession, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

(Ahhh~~ Originally, I wanted to participate in that nasty military training to go abroad to study in college, but now I feel like I want to thank the military training of junior high school and high school? But fortunately, everyone is a normal person, and after half a day of running-in, they can still list the phalanx...... )

The adventurers who participated in the Third Army had a complaint about this, but then Qiu Ting Xiye said: "I really don't know anything about the dungeon battle, but are we going to fight the dungeon now?" I pressed it back.

"After all, I have simulated the battle of this kind of medieval army before, and besides, if there is no cavalry, it is better to use simple line infantry tactics to meet it."

"The Middle Ages?" Lee Geng En caught the keyword at once, and the curiosity of the whole person was also activated and kept asking, but when he saw that Qiu Ting Yuba had no intention of answering, he simply ran out of the bait and said, "Why don't I exchange it with you using the method of making the 'Lake of Forgotten Books'?" And with his hand pushed down the amethyst headband that he had worn on his head as always.

"It's a very useful piece of magical equipment, not only to improve memory and insight, but more importantly, to improve the efficiency of finding information."

In the face of Li Gengen's persuasion, Qiu Ting Xiye said that if he was not moved, it was absolutely false, so he tried to ask: "Then don't you just give me yours?" You can go back and make another one yourself. ”

"Ah~ Anyway, it's something made by the Aizu clan three hundred and fifty years ago, although there are drawings, but in terms of the action rate of the earthlings, it is estimated that there is no fun even collecting materials. I wonder what this reward means? ”

“… The Middle Ages was one of the periods of the Divine Age, also known as the Dark Ages. During this period, the extreme western region of the Eured continent (Eurasian continent) did not have a strong regime to rule. Feudal secession brought frequent wars, caused the development of science and technology and productive forces to stagnate, and the people lived in hopeless misery. It has a considerable resemblance to the world that has been oppressed by subhumans for three hundred and fifty years, regardless of system, consciousness, and form. ”

There was no need to think about it at all, Qiu Ting Xiye roughly explained it to Li Gengen.

"President... Is that good? ”

As soon as Yalai tried to stop it, Akiwa Yuba responded, "I'm just telling you a little bit about the history of the 'Divine Generation' that I know. ”

Lee Gengen's eyes almost flashed as if his hands were clasped together and asked, "Can you reveal more if it's convenient?" ”

"Anyway, I'm a little scoundrel on the march now, so I'll tell you a little more."

"What do you think of these buildings?"

Akiwa pointed to the concrete road around and under his feet.

Li Gengen looked around at the concrete buildings covered with moss roots and exclaimed, "Great and brilliant, but it is completely unimaginable that such a highly developed civilization of the gods would suddenly disappear without a trace." ”

"Maybe it's because I'm playing it, or maybe it's because I can't even look at the gods~"

"So what the hell..."

"The war of the gods is more cruel than you can imagine, and at its peak, in the two 'war of the gods', the first of which was about 65 million people who participated in the war, about 20 million people were injured, and more than 16 million people were killed. The second time was that more than 2 billion people in the whole world were involved in the war, and according to incomplete statistics, more than 90 million military and civilian casualties were killed and injured in the war. ”

"Of course, this is only a land battlefield, and as for the sea battlefield, an all-steel warship with a tonnage of more than 20,000 tons will be sunk into the sea."

After these words, Li Gengen's face became solemn and responded: "I didn't expect that the lost history is even more cruel than legends and myths, it turns out that this is the truth of the decline of the gods......"

(No, no, no...) I don't know what caused the gods to fall. )

However, while complaining in his heart, Qiu Ting Yuba's face still remained the same as it was when it was originally described.

At this time, one of the knights of the Field Observation Group, who was following in the rear on horseback, muttered: "This is a lie, there will be such a large-scale war there." "I guess I heard what I just said.

Qiu Ting Xiye didn't look back, but just asked lightly: "May I ask how long it took you or the surrounding knights from the time they started to learn martial arts to the time they were able to swing their swords and kill the enemy?" ”

"Uhh......h

"Just learning to use a sword is enough. It's the same with horsemanship, it's okay to just ride a horse, but it takes a few years to learn how to fight on a horse? Bows and arrows are no exception, and they also require years of practice. Not only that, archery must have a proportionate physique. It can be said that it is common sense that the stronger the arm strength, the stronger the bow that can be drawn, and the arrow can maintain its destructive power and flight distance. Magic Corps? It would take twenty years to train a mage who could go to war, to say the least. ”

"I wonder if what I just said fits your understanding?" Autumn Courtyard Yuba glanced back at the knights who were nodding and continued, "But the gods have created a weapon, a weapon that has been sealed by the laws of the world. ”

"This weapon makes the 'soldier' an indispensable resource for warfare extremely cheap, as it allows an almost endless number of peasants and serfs to be thrown into battle, and even children, women and the elderly can be thrown into the war after a short period of minimal training and instruction, and gain strength beyond any one of you."

"Lie to people, there's a weapon like this there......"

Those knights all looked completely unconvinced, but Qiu Ting Yuba didn't plan to deal with them anymore, anyway, it was just a random talk on a whim, and there was no need for the other party to believe it.

"Could it be that what Your Excellency is talking about is a weapon called a 'musket'?"

"Huh? You know that. Autumn Evening Leaves looked at Lee Gengen in surprise.

"Since the Round Table Council has been established, new inventions and novelties have been coming out every day in Akihabara, so I naturally pay more attention to this." Lee Gengen explains: "One day, I accidentally obtained this powerful weapon, which is called 'Failed Goods', from an adventurer's merchant stall. ”

After the promulgation of the laws of the world, in addition to the application of the law in daily production, there was no doubt that the same attempt was made in the field of weapons.

Just like cooking, the high-level smelting, blacksmithing, and woodworking skills that need to be used are produced by the adventurers of the subclass. Despite the exciting shipping of stable stats, such a powerful weapon has a fatal flaw.

The equipment level is 200, and the equipment level required for a well-made or later generation is even higher.

And the highest level of the update is only up to level 100, and the muskets produced can only be used for interior decoration, so it's not an exaggeration to say that they have been sealed.

In the guild hall of Autumn Garden, two muskets developed and produced by their own guild are also placed, and the muzzles of the guns are crossed upwards to set off the flag printed with the emblem of their guild. The familiarity with the fine, powerful and cheating of muskets has long been known.

"In the god generation, because of the appearance of muskets, the appearance of war completely changed the face of war."

Li Gengen could easily see the autumn garden sunset with a look of pity on her face, and only heard her say, "The longbow shoots faster?" It is enough to prepare ten times as many musketeers as longbowmen. The cavalry breakthrough power is relatively strong? It is enough to prepare ten times as many musketeers as the cavalry. Are nobles braver? It was enough to prepare ten times as many musketeers as the nobles. Muskets made all this possible. Moreover, if only one person is killed, it will take the enemy five to ten years to prepare a soldier of comparable proportions. Even if we have casualties, we will only need a few months of training to replenish our personnel with the same combat strength. ”

However, the girl soon turned cloudy and clear, and said in a somewhat brisk voice: "But anyway, the 'Thirteen Knights' should be in the same situation as the 'Izumo Knights', so anyway, it doesn't matter if (the musket) can be used now." ”

When the knights heard this, they only felt a chill, after all, they all heard it.

The next unspoken sentence was absolutely: "Dealing with the earthlings of the non-ancient species?" Bare hands are enough. ”
