Chapter 537: Elemental Legion
After the mutual confession, the two races, which have a considerable understanding of each other's strength, also began to hold joint training, trying to pass the run-in period as quickly as possible.
It was during this period that the batch of reinforcements that Karen promised also arrived with Akatsuki and Bart as nodes, relying on the large space door.
Unlike the dwarves and dwarfs who are not proficient in space magic, Bart and Akatsuki, who are mechanical lords, do not know what space magic is, but through some special additional equipment for space teleportation, the two of them can temporarily replace the two mages who are proficient in space magic, which greatly reduces the need to build and maintain large space gates.
Of course, this comes at the cost of Bart and Akatsuki's energy cores, which are responsible for maintaining the stability of the large spatial gates, going into a cooling period for a considerable period of time, making it almost impossible for them to participate in any battles during this period.
But compared to the various materials that would have to be consumed without the two of them, the two high-ranking people Werther Cast Iron and Elder Pixar, who were still distressed by the loss of magic crystals, were really drooling with envy.
"We also want a magician who is proficient in space magic......"
After uttering such an exclamation in unison, Werther Cast Iron turned his head sadly. Unlike the dwarfs, who still have a slight chance to cultivate a magician who is proficient in space magic, the dwarves who need to use runestones to even perform ordinary magic will have little hope, even if it takes more time.
But just when Werther Cast Iron looked sad, and seconds understood why he was sad, Elder Pixar looked proud. Looking at the troops coming out of the large space gate one after another, the expressions of the remaining high-ranking people of the two clans, led by Lott Cast Iron and Baker Copperfinger, all looked a little strange.
"This, this, this...... All elemental creatures? ”
Baker Copperfinger, who was staring at the elemental creatures that had already come out, was a little dumbfounded and said, "Is there really nothing wrong over there?" Elemental creatures? ”
You must know that the specific distribution range of elemental creatures is very wide, and there is a gathering point of elemental creatures near the Cast Iron Fort. It's just that considering the number and strength of the elemental creatures in that gathering point is too scummy, no one has thought of recruiting them at all.
And now, Karen had sent such a large number of common elemental creatures, which made Baker Copperfinger feel that she was somewhat perfunctory.
"No, no, no, you don't understand! That Flame Grand Duke really has a heart. ”
Decker, who touched the beard, said very seriously: "This elemental army is actually very suitable for us now!" ”
"To be honest, the strength of these elemental creatures is indeed strong enough."
Baker Copperfinger, who didn't understand the meaning of Deck's words, replied with some confusion: "However, the troops composed of elemental creatures must send several people to assist in command, right?" Are our junior officers enough? ”
"That's not a problem!"
Decker shook his head a little helplessly, and then explained, "Originally, I thought that the Flame Guild had sent an army of Iron Golems or other constructed creatures. Compared to other troops, troops made up of constructed creatures are not only less expensive, but they also don't have to worry about communication and communication! ”
Decker, who has been in charge of various logistical affairs, knows this very well. Even though the dwarves and the gnomes have always maintained a good relationship, in the time since the dwarves successfully relocated to the cast-iron castle, there have been hundreds of disputes between the two clans due to different concepts.
This made a group of officials led by Derk very angry.
If at this time, Karen sent another army composed of surface terrans, even if it was a very powerful mage legion, Delk would definitely refuse it at all times!
I believe that there should be people in the staff group owned by Kalian, who is the Grand Duke of Flame, who is also aware of this, so Derk thinks that Karen should be sending a Constructed Legion.
Although the strength may be a little worse, the Constructed Legion is indeed a very qualified cannon fodder legion, and the Constructed Body that is not worried about morale problems can definitely entangle the enemy army to the death, so Derk has been looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements.
However, Karen didn't send an Construct Legion, but an Elemental Legion made up of various elemental creatures!
"As a result, now, the Flame Grand Duke is actually sending the Elemental Legion!"
Looking at those elemental creatures, Derk's eyes began to glow: "Compared to the Elemental Legion, those Constructed Legions are scum at all!" This...... It's really amazing! ”
"Not only that, but the advantages of constructing creatures are also shared by elemental creatures."
Lott Cast Iron, who had not spoken, suddenly interjected: "Like constructing creatures, elemental creatures don't need to eat, drink, or sleep. If our battle with the demons falls into a protracted war, these elemental creatures that consume very little will likely become the trump card we rely on to turn the tables! ”
"You're still too young......"
In the end, it was the old man who was burden-bearing, and quickly came out of the state of envy, jealousy and hatred, Witte Cast Iron first sighed, and then said earnestly: "Until now, haven't you realized it? The arrival of this elemental legion has completely made up for a weakness of our army! ”
As Witt Cast Iron pointed out, he saw a group of wind elemental creatures flying out of the space door with a blank look on their faces.
Those wind elemental creatures, it seems that there is nothing wrong with them......
After staring at those wind elemental creatures for a while, Lott Cast Iron, who knew best what his father was thinking, was the first to understand: "I understand! It's the Air Force! It's a question of air supremacy! ”
"That's right!"
After hearing his son's words, Werther Cast Iron, who was very satisfied with this, clapped his hands vigorously, and then laughed and said, "We dwarves and our allies have been in this underground world for a long time, and we have long been accustomed to the environment here. That's why we're negligent in this regard. ”
Since they are all drilling around in the soil layer of the underground world, the major races living in the underground world basically do not have the concept of air supremacy. Even if some races retain air units, they rarely send their air forces in the event of war. Because most of the underground passages or underground cavities are not suitable for these air forces to spread their wings. So over time, the major races in the underworld have basically forgotten that there is such a thing as an air force in war.
The dwarves who once lived on the surface of the earth, and of course there were air force units. But after entering the underworld, these air units were gradually abandoned by them. However, there are still records of it in the cast-iron fort. Therefore, I once looked through the records of Lott Cast Iron to think of this so quickly.
As for the lord of Witt Cast Iron, the old dwarf had ridden several creatures into the sky, so he certainly wouldn't forget that if he wasn't already demented.
In contrast, the dwarfs really never had an air force unit. Of course, the whole clan is proud to learn magic, and they have never paid attention to the air force, so naturally they don't think about air supremacy.
"You know, many of those mid-to-high-level devils and demons can fly!"
With his hands on his chest, Witt Cast Iron looked up at those wind elemental creatures and said happily, "If they launch a surprise attack directly from the air, then we will probably suffer a big loss without an air force!" ”
Now, with the presence of wind elemental creatures that can be used as air forces, the two clans with a large number of ranged units will not have to worry about enemy air force attacks. If the demons are really stupid enough to launch an air raid, then after the wind elemental creatures entangle these air units, the ranged troops of the two races below will tell these high-flying guys what is fire coverage!
It was precisely because of this thought that Witt Cast Iron smiled so happily at this time.
But when he saw the last troops to emerge from the large space gate, the shocked Witt Cast Iron almost opened his mouth so wide that his jaw dislocated.
Even the old load-bearing Werther Cast Iron has become like this, and the high-ranking members of the two clans behind him will naturally not be much better.
Elder Pixar, who was staring closely at the army, kept his head up, and his body leaned back until he lay on the ground.
Shocked Baker Copperfinger subconsciously pulled his cheek, and then pulled himself out in pain because he used too much force.
Lott Cast Iron, who was standing beside him, was so frightened that he accidentally pulled off a handful of his beard, and then burst into tears.
Deck, who first discovered that force, was directly stupid.
All this is only because what they see is the trump card army of the Flame Grand Duke.
...... of the Ninth Order Fire Phoenix Legion!
"Tweet ......"
As soon as they flew out of the large space gate, these fire phoenixes began to spread their wings and fly, wandering around the sky above the cast-iron fort. Although the rock wall at the top of the cast-iron fort had conical rocks, the fire phoenixes completely ignored these small obstacles with their superb flying skills, and flew back and forth in this small area, which was actually not large.
The beautiful dance made the people below look a little crazy.
"Uh...... Well...... The Fire Phoenix is also an elemental creature, so that makes sense! ”
After putting away the plucked mustache he had pulled out, Lott Cast Iron, who came back to his senses, explained seriously.
Then he was immediately complained by Baker Copperfinger: "Reasonable ghost! Even if it's an elemental creature, it's a ninth-order top-level elemental creature! Is it true that the face of our two races is so big! ”
Although everyone could see that the number of fire phoenixes flying out of the large space gate was not large, they knew from their knees that these fire phoenixes were definitely not specially sent because they wanted to save face for the two clans.
Therefore, after a little thought, the high-level leaders of the two clans present knew that these fire phoenixes must have been given to the little girl from the surface.
"Tut-tut......"
Deck, who had always speculated about Aisha's origins, shook his head in surprise and said, "This little girl's face is really big enough!" ”
"Let's go, let's all go over and have a look."
Lott Cast Iron, who had already recovered from his surprise, greeted directly, and then walked towards the large space door in the lead.
He couldn't wait to see those fire phoenixes up close.
After the rest of the people looked at each other, they couldn't help the curiosity in their hearts and followed one after another.
At this time, Aisha was handing over the troops with Elder Howard sent by Kalian.
"According to the Grand Duke's request, I have brought five thousand creatures each of the four elemental creatures such as the Storm Element and the Ice Element, as well as two hundred Fire Phoenixes as your personal guard."
After handing the list to Aisha, Elder Howard said very seriously, "The rest of the various strategic materials are written on it. In addition, the Grand Duke has only one request for you, be careful in everything! Come back to her in good condition! ”
"Please rest assured, Sister Karen! There's Dio here! ”
After glancing at Dio, who was standing beside her, Aisha replied with a smile.
This made Dio very helpless and said: "My existence is not a reason for you to be negligent!" If something goes wrong......"
"Hehehehehe......"
Dio's last "hehe" made Aisha shrink her neck in fright.
After appearing in order to support Aisha, Dio did not turn back into a cat, but followed Aisha in his original form. This gave Aisha a lot of security, but it also made Dio, who wanted to take this opportunity to temper Aisha, quite dissatisfied.
Of course, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and now that the demons may attack the cast-iron castle at any time, Dio will not put Aisha in danger in order to deliberately temper Aisha.
So Aisha, who knew this, quickly came back to her senses and looked at Dio with a smile again.
Ignoring the interaction between Dio and Aisha, and confirming that all the troops and supplies had been handed over, Elder Howard saluted Aisha and Dio: "Then, I'll go back first." ”
In fact, Elder Howard's gift was mainly given to Dio. After seeing the battle between Dio and the Ancestor of the Lich, everyone who knew about Dio and Aisha took them more seriously. However, the reason why Elder Howard, who has the name of "Bloody Hand", saluted Dio was simply to express his admiration for Dio's strong strength.
A person like him, who thinks about how to become stronger all the time, will only pay tribute to those who are stronger than him. And Dio is a stronger existence than him.
Therefore, when Lot Cast Iron and the others arrived, they saw that Elder Howard completely ignored them, and walked into the large spatial door without looking back, completely disappearing.
