Chapter 379. Consumables in the war
Lucia's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Levi with a smile, stretched out her hand and slowly clenched the wind element in her palm, the feeling of controlling the power of nature also made her intoxicated, and she couldn't help but exhale and said, "You must know that even a human mage like me will never exceed ten." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Looking at Levi's frowning brow, Lucia continued to explain: "Human magicians, both in quantity and quality, are not comparable to the elven republic in my mind, because the elven race is born to fit nature, so the number and quality of magicians are more than humans. ”
"Isn't that a disadvantage for humanity?" Although he didn't have any feelings for these human natives in the native land, after all, they were still similar human compatriots, Levi frowned and said, "If that's the case, then the elven race would have unified the entire sea area long ago and wiped out all the human race." ”
"Of course, there are many elves and magicians, but the overall population is small."
Lucia shrugged her shoulders slightly, and said: "And in my memory, the pregnancy rate of the elven race has always been a big problem, and in close combat, the strength is not comparable to those trained humans, so if you don't consider the strategic force of the magician, the conventional combat force cannot compete with the human army." ”
According to the understanding of the previous life, the magicians and archers of the elven clan are all strong points, but in the face of the human hoplites and cavalry, there is no way at all.
Especially in the era of cold weapons, the cavalry is equal to the king of war, and having cavalry is equivalent to controlling the initiative of the war, even in this island-dominated world, the conventional frontal field battle, the flat terrain area, is also the place where the cavalry plays a role, and the elven race without strong cavalry troops can indeed stop the charge of the human cavalry regiment.
"What is the threat to us?"
Bowing his head slightly, Levi also asked, "If we start a war with that group of elves, what do we need to pay attention to?" "After all, sooner or later, they will go to war with the elves, and since Lucia has become her own person, and the female staff officer of the system has become the dominant soul, it is natural to know more information.
"It is worth noting that the fleet of the elves seems to be linked by some kind of magical plant, because this body does not fully fit with me, so some memories are still in the chaotic stage and cannot be recalled."
Lucia stuck out her tongue helplessly, and her pretty face was also a little dizzy, and she exhaled like an orchid, and said to Levi: "However, my great majesty, if you can help me often, maybe I can grasp this body faster, it depends on your thoughts and actions." ”
Smiling slightly, Li Wei didn't answer the female staff officer's words, but just changed the topic and said, "So what do you think of the human mages in your mind?" ”
"Ha, it's boring, my majesty."
Lucia couldn't help but curl up in her chair, looking very annoyed, but she still pouted and said to Levi: "Human mages have their own unique heritage, and the level of battlefield mages is also very high, and it seems that they can also form a magic array to increase the power of magic, which is clearly described in the records of the elves. ”
But as she spoke, her brows couldn't help frowning, and she pinched her eyebrows with her hand with some pain, and said helplessly: "These are the only memories I can remember, and if I want to know more things, I need to be more in tune with this body, but I can't do anything now." ”
"It's already good, you're doing a good job."
Levi nodded, and also showed a smile to Lucia, hearing this, combined with the information obtained after coming to this world, he had also estimated the magic ability of those mages in Gray Mist City.
It was once rumored that the fleet of the South Roaring Sea came to attack, and the most critical time was when the magicians exhausted their magic power, used powerful compound magic, and summoned a raging blizzard to win the war, so it can be said that this is the first time that the group of mages appeared on the stage of war in the North Roaring Sea.
The most recent one, perhaps, was the destruction of the Sama City River Patrol, which was said to have overturned the entire fleet with a violent gale, and the only standard armed force on the Ketuf River.
But after learning about the thieves of the Ketuf River, Levi also discovered that in fact, even the swamp baron, who was actually an elven fellow, could not do this even if he had the power of magic, because the magic required to overturn the entire fleet was too strong for him to use on his own.
The conclusion of the final investigation has been known that it was entirely the corruption of the river patrol team itself, the ploy of the thieves of the Ketufu River, and the cover of the nobles in Samar City and Grey Mist City, which formed such a situation.
Of course, this is also inseparable from Moulton, the old guy who wants to overthrow the governor of Grey Mist City, and even all this should be controlled by him, but in the end, things are unexpected, and his hole cards that should be stable have become the handle of the governor's control, bringing him deadly danger.
"If we really choose to fight Grey Mist."
Bowing his head slightly, Levi's expression gradually became solemn, looking at Lucia next to him, his hand also lightly knocked on the table, and slowly spoke: "No, in fact, we are not fighting each other, but fighting completely, they will not allow us to continue to develop on the East Coast." ”
Looking at Lucia, Levi also exhaled deeply and said: "If we can tolerate us now, maybe we have a certain ability to protect ourselves, and those nobles on the opposite side are in a state of mutual vigilance, as long as they think we are weak, or they are united, we will definitely be slaughtered by that group of nobles." ”
"This is the most fundamental conflict of interest."
Lucia smiled softly, she knew the game system, and she also knew the history of wars in Europe, and she knew quite well that this world was still the most fundamental law of the jungle, even more cruel than Europe in the previous life.
The limited land and the limited living environment are all hotbeds for cultivating this law of the jungle, not to mention that the people who really grow up on the islands are narrow-minded and gradually extreme in character, which is vividly expressed in this world, especially those who are poor.
The group of poor people turned into mobs, robbing and killing people and daring to do anything, which undoubtedly shows that the character of these guys is actually very extreme, and once an accident occurs, they will take advantage of it!
"I don't believe they can withstand the power of artillery, though."
Knocking on the table, Levi also slowly stood up, a slight noise sounded outside the window, he came to the window and looked down, there was a team returning from the street, it was the Admiral Hall, who had already won the victory and settled all the warships.
The battle against the pirates of Crash Bay had been completed at the same time, and a large number of pirate captives had also been escorted back to Cape City, and the victory was heavier than Levi's troops who defeated the invaders in the Swamp, and Hale led the fleet to defeat the invading pirates.
After all, in this ocean-dominated world, the navy is the foundation for maintaining a strategic offensive, and the next punishment that Levi wants to punish Gray Mist City is also with the navy as the main force.
"Actually, I'm not going to wait any longer."
Bowing his head slightly, the corners of Levi's mouth also brought a mocking smile, since those nobles did not intend to reconcile and live in harmony with him on this island, then there was no need for him to continue to suppress his military strength, not to mention that the current Cape City had begun to take the route of military development.
This is not what Levi wants to see, if it were him, he would prefer to develop a large number of economies, and use a relatively mild way to envelop the world, although it will be slow because of economic exchanges in the early stage, but after full economic cooperation in the later stage, Cape City, which is in a leading position, will easily use economy and money to annex any cooperative city-state or island.
Whether it is the people at the bottom, or the nobles at the top, or the gentlemen and landlords at the middle, they will be united because of the tight economic exchanges and interests, because as long as they cooperate, they will make money.
This is equivalent to boiling a frog in warm water, once in the hands of the Spanish Empire, wiped out several maritime countries in the Mediterranean, such as the Republic of Sicily, the Republic of Venice, etc., were all wiped out in the long river of history by various soft and hard means of the Spanish Empire, which created the first empire on which the sun never sets!
However, this is no longer the case.
The hostility has begun to clash at the military level, and the hatred of both sides has been determined, and now even if Levi wants to reverse the current development trend, it is simply impossible, he must throw his army and navy into conquest, and take out those stumbling blocks on the road!
Gray Mist City is currently his serious, biggest stumbling block, if he can completely trample this city under his feet, then the Great Silver Plate Island will finally establish its belonging, and the entire North Roaring Sea will be controlled by Levi.
So, that's why Levi thinks it's the wrong route chosen by those enemies.
Levi, who has modern troops and powerful artillery units, is absolutely impossible to defeat in the hands of these feudal troops who are still in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, even if he has mysterious magic as a high-end combat power to save the battle, but in the war of attrition again and again, how many people can consume those high-end magicians or knights with fighting spirit?
On the contrary, Levy's privates, cuirassiers, all kinds of artillery, and even those battleships were consumables in the war, consumables that could be abandoned at any time for the victory of a battle.
War has always been about who can consume whom!
