Volume VII: War and Peace Chapter VI: Purpose
Located northeast of the Burning Plains, Flame Peak is one of the few strategic points in this scorching land, a steep peak of more than three thousand meters above sea level that overlooks the Kargha Trail and controls the only road to the Badlands, from which you can even see the demon's stronghold of Kargas.
Due to the heavy losses of the demons in the last faction war, the Cagas stronghold has not yet returned to its normal size, causing the demons' control of the Badlands to drop to freezing point, which is also an important reason why the dwarves dare to fight the idea of Red Ridge Mountain, without having to deploy a large number of troops on the border between Danmoro and the Badlands, so that the dwarves have enough mobile power to realize their ambitions.
Similarly, with the loss of vigilance against the Badlands, the Flame Peak, which is used to monitor the Kaghra Trail, is no longer a stronghold for dwarves and demons to fight to the death, making it easy for Banora to turn the peak into his headquarters.
In the cave that was specially cleaned up on the mountainside, the light of the teleportation array dissipated, and Yu Bin's figure was pulled into a long black strip under the reflection of the torches, writhing silently on the cave wall.
"Oh, it's back, it's back!" The sound of clapping echoed through the cave.
Yu Bin threw Rasfil aside: "Professor, it's really rare to see you outside the laboratory!" You came here on purpose, what kind of wind is blowing? ”
"Well, well! I'm not here to quarrel with you! The professor squinted his eyes and said, "This time I came here in person, mainly for three things. ”
"Oh?"
"First of all, it's the undead plague that you took away without permission, although I know that I am in a hurry, but you have to inform me anyway!"
Yu Bin motioned to Banola to take Rasfil out, and said indifferently: "You have to talk to Banola about this, and he is fully responsible for the arrangement of the operation this time." ”
"I know, it's not a complaint!" The professor obviously didn't want to get any guarantee from Yu Bin, "But since it has been taken away by you, as the person in charge of the research part, I have to come over to see how the actual combat effect is, and accurately grasping the performance of new products is the basic professional ethics of a researcher!" ”
"So, what are your conclusions?"
"Not at all, a complete failure!" The professor spread his hands and shook his head, looking disappointed, "According to the final effect, this batch of prototypes is not so much the undead plague, but a simple mixture of poison and death energy, all the transformed undead are poisoned by the effect of the poison before the transformation is successful, which is too different from the real undead plague effect!" ”
"In other words, there is no real combat meaning at all?" Yu Bin disagrees with the professor's conclusions, researchers and users are inherently very opposed, the former tries to make the product under study have almost perfect performance, while the latter pays more attention to the actual effect, as long as the main function can be guaranteed, a small flaw does not mean that this is a failure.
The professor pushed the lens on his nose: "Compared with the difficulty and materials of creating these undead plagues, the existing actual combat effect is completely incommensurate with it, and the ratio of input and output is too large, which is meaningless for large-scale industrial manufacturing!" ”
"Well, you have the final say!"
"The second thing is about the heavy armored cavalry unit of the Cerberus Wing, according to the plan, after this actual battle, the follow-up deployment of this unit will have to be decided, but ......" The professor stopped a little bit.
Yu Bin asked a little strangely, "But what?" ”
The professor glanced at Yu Bin, he wasn't sure about the attitude of this death knight, in the body devouring snake, the other apostles had a tacit understanding of the undead clan as Yu Bin's sphere of influence, and now about this heavy armored cavalry, the professor didn't know if his opinion would conflict with Yu Bin.
"If you're worried about my attitude, then you don't have to!" Yu Bin thought about it and knew what the professor was worried about, "This is just a batch of experimental troops, isn't it?" ”
"Alright! Then I'll tell you the truth, from the actual situation, the cost-effectiveness ratio of the heavy armored cavalry is completely inconsistent with our expectations, if we want to achieve a breakthrough effect on the frontal battlefield, under the existing conditions, we can only wait for all this group of cavalry to advance to the sixth order, which is an impossible goal! ”
Even in the previous life, the average level of players was only between the fifth and sixth levels, and those who could advance to the sixth order could be regarded as elites, and each player who could reach the seventh order could be regarded as a master of the dominant side, which shows how difficult it is to advance.
According to the professor's opinion, if you want the heavy armored cavalry to have the strength to break through the NPC regular army, you must either work the equipment or work the people, the former is simply impossible for the player, and the large-scale manufacturing of high-level and high-quality equipment is only available to those large races with this capital, which means that a large amount of raw material investment and a large-scale team of high-level craftsmen, no matter which one is not something that the player can have, even the Devouring Snake is impossible.
The road of equipment is blocked, then there is only the road of human quality, but this is also a very difficult method, players are not NPCs, and cultivating them from the zero order to the sixth order consumes enough energy and financial resources to cultivate a large number of fourth-order and fifth-order mainstream player power, not to mention that not every player has the potential to advance to the sixth order, so this road seems almost impossible to walk.
In contrast, it is much easier for NPC armies to form a large-scale cavalry, whether it is a human champion knight or an undead death knight, the former can be obtained through a large number of low-level soldiers through battlefield advancement, and the latter has a sufficient number of corpses as a base, not to mention that whether it is a champion knight or a death knight, their individual skills and combat effectiveness are far inferior to players of the same level, which makes their training easier and cheaper.
"So, you're against continuing to expand the size of the cavalry?"
"It's worse than that!" Now that he has spoken, the professor is no longer hiding, "In my opinion, even if the strength of this group of cavalry enters the fifth order, it is impossible to have the same strength, organization, training, and battlefield scheduling and supply capabilities as the NPC's cavalry legion, these are the player's natural disadvantages, and even the hunters cannot ignore these problems." ”
"So what's your opinion?" From the professor's tone, Yu Bin heard a possibility that surprised him.
"Cancel the existing cavalry units and bring them under the cavalry units composed of NPC soldiers as a supplementary force to the cavalry corps!" The professor's eyes were full of coldness, as if he had said something trivial and not about the fate of thousands. "The first step is to merge the Cerberus cavalry unit into your Knights of the Black Blade!"
"All?" Somewhat surprised by the professor's decision, Yu Bin asked, after all, this is a matter involving nearly 10,000 people, not to mention that even if it is merged with the Black Blade Knights, the relevant logistics system, command system and other aspects of things need to be changed and coordinated, this is also a big project, and it is not much easier than reforming a cavalry regiment.
"All!" In the professor's opinion, since it is useless to keep this cavalry, of course, it is necessary to choose a more appropriate method to maximize the effect of this group of cavalry, and among all the options, merging it with the Knights of the Black Blade is the most ideal method.
First of all, both sides are undead, and the run-in on logistics and command can be reduced to a minimum. Secondly, the Knights of the Black Blade have strong strength, but they are small in number and do not have enough influence on the frontal battlefield, while the cavalry units of the Cerberus Wing have enough numbers to easily form a scale. The combination of the two can allow the Knights of the Black Blade to form enough combat power as soon as possible.
"And what about the third thing?" Yu Bin didn't want to say anything more about the merger of the cavalry regiments, it would easily make others think that he was behind the scenes, and it would be more beneficial for Bin to let the professor operate this matter himself.
"Naturally, I confirmed Galtlin Sprout's betrayal with my own eyes!"
"Is it the 'princess' again?"
A contemptuous smile appeared on the professor's face: "It's buried deep, but it's still too anxious!" ”
"Maybe it was Qianfan's exit that made him sense the danger! That man's instincts for danger should not be underestimated! "Yu Bin and Galtlin have not dealt with each other a few times, and he has never heard of a high-level player with such a name in his previous life, but just a few superficial contacts have made Yu Bin understand that Galtlin is not a simple man.
"The current situation is not suitable for a head-on conflict with that princess, but fortunately, the other party doesn't seem to have this intention." There was an inexplicable glint in the professor's eyes, and Yu Bin knew that it was the light of this guy's interest in something, and many times, this so-called "something" would generally become his new research object. "From many aspects of intelligence, it can be seen that the princess is busy integrating the hunting regiment that was cut off by us during this time, and this matter occupies a lot of her energy, and it also allows us to calmly arrange the follow-up plan."
Yu Bin nodded, the capital power behind the princess can be said to be extremely huge, even the body devouring snake can't compete head-on in this regard, fortunately, with him, many things can be arranged early, this is the benefit of the reborn, and when the princess reacts, the body devouring snake that occupies the lead also has the ability to keep its own results.
But despite this, in fact, since the princess really valued the Body-Eater Serpent, the influence of the organization in the real world has been constantly weakening, which is one of the reasons why they are reluctant to completely turn against each other.
"What about the hazards?"
"The part related to Galtlin has been cut out, fortunately, the plan he is responsible for has been the Sea Emperor Trident from the beginning, and Qianhuan may want to let him take over all this after he is exposed, which makes it much easier to cut off the relevant people and relationships." The professor said that he did it himself, and of course he knew it clearly.
Yu Bin silently calculated for a moment and said, "In other words, there are only four apostles left in the entire organization now, eleven executors and seven executor candidates?" ”
"In order to ensure that the plan is not affected, this is the most appropriate way to deal with it!" The professor spread his hands, it was precisely because the number of executors who could be trusted now that he came forward in person, otherwise why should he do such a thing, as a researcher, he preferred to fiddle with the guinea pigs that were experimental subjects in the laboratory.
"I see, after this is over, there will be a last apostolic council, right?"
"That's right, the last apostolic council! The next meeting will have to wait until the planning really begins! I hope to see you alive then, Death Knight Yu Bin! ”
Yu Bin was not surprised that the professor called out his real name: "You are the same, gene madman Filrington Heimer!" ”
"Alright, now let's talk about what's in front of us!" The professor pushed the lenses, and the eyes behind the lenses showed obvious brilliance, "What are you going to do with the Black Dragon Princess Onexia?" ”
Obviously, this former Nobel Prize winner has committed a research disease again, for the professor, as an ancient species, Onexia is not only a rare pure-blood dragon race, but also a legendary-level existence that is almost impossible to be captured by players at this stage, such a rare experimental subject, how can he not be enthusiastic!
"It's hard to handle!" Yu Bin also had a headache for this big trouble, "For us now, without the assistance of Lacio and Sebrigalk, it is almost impossible to control this black dragon princess, but we can't let go of this opportunity in vain!" ”
Onexia's situation is completely different from the original Vidara, who was split by Elvira Koman's own hands, so that Yu Bin can completely control the other party, and Vidara after that, in addition to playing Yu Bin's assistant, in fact, also as Elvira's spy to supervise Yu Bin's series of actions to ensure the smooth implementation of Elvira's plan to capture Mosso Black City. Under this premise, Vidara will not blatantly betray Yu Bin, because that also means that Elvira will take action against her.
And Onexia doesn't have this concern, although Sinisterra was rescued under Yu Bin's planning, but to be honest, the black dragon queen doesn't care about this very much, and Sinistra, who has regained the power of the underground world, doesn't need Yu Bin's help, so naturally it is impossible to suppress Onexia for him, and Onexia, who is a dragon, is not as fragile as Vidala, and many means can be used on Vidala, but it can't be applied to Onexia.
"Fortunately, this black dragon princess was deprived of her dragon identity, which made her have to choose to cooperate with us!" Yu Bin said.
"You seem to be convinced of this outcome?"
"That's right, because I believe that Onexia is a smart man, and it's not hard to guess the choices a smart person would make!"
