Chapter 783: Air Supremacy Tide
Chapter 783: Air Supremacy Tide
On the fifth day after the Entagri army entered Dia through the magic portal, Morriel led a three-way army and finally entered the Sasio region.
Facing the combined forces of the Elven Kingdom and the Bracada Kingdom that were waiting for the deep ditch and high fortresses, Morriel did not choose to fight hard.
She set up camp far away, confronted the Elven King** and the Bracada army, and began to fight for air supremacy.
In the battle to return the Entagrei army to the Haméngdale area, the importance of air supremacy has been fully reflected, and the new tactics of the Entagri army have shocked all the forces of the entire Big 6, and the inherent war mode of the Big 6 has begun to be broken, and new tactical ideas are being generated, and some people of insight, such as Gru, have begun to apply this tactic with air supremacy as the core in the battle.
However, in comparison, no force on the Great 6 of Erathia today has the obvious advantage of the Entagri Empire in the air battlefield.
The Negan Dragons and the Forest Dragons, the two most powerful dragons on the Erathia Big 6, have joined the Entagre Empire one after another, and the powerful combat power of the dragons in the sky is self-evident, not to mention, the flying troops owned by the Entagri Empire are not just dragons, there are also angel clans and Kerrigan demon clans in the Entagre Empire, powerful archangels and archdemons, and their combat power in the air should not be underestimated, compared with the dragons, they can be said to have their own merits.
Dragons are adept at engaging in large-scale battles in the air, and using dragon flames to carry out air-to-ground range attacks; The archangels are strong in martial arts and agile, and they are invincible in hand-to-hand combat in the air; The Archdemons use their race ability to teleport, making them a great skill at surprise attacks and slashing tactics.
The combination of the three, its power is not as simple as one plus one plus one equals three, good tacit cooperation, so that these three big 6 above a number of strong races, in the air battlefield few opponents.
At the same time, in addition to the top flying units such as dragons, angels, and demons, the other flying units of the Entagri Army are not weak, the venomous scorpion lions unique to the Negan region, and the bipedal wyverns in the Tytalia swamp are all flying beasts with amazing combat effectiveness, and they also have a common characteristic, that is, they can attack the enemy with venom.
The venom in the scorpion lion's tail can paralyze the body of most creatures, and it is needless to say what will happen to the paralysis of the body in air combat, which makes them more comfortable in air combat; The venom of the bipedal wyvern is not as domineering as that of the venomous scorpion lion, but it is also very powerful, and being bitten by their fangs will definitely make people feel painful, and when the amount of venom reaches a certain level, it can also cause the poisoned person to die on the spot.
The powerful hand-to-hand combat ability, with the attack method of poison xìng, makes the combat power of the poisonous scorpion lion and the bipedal wyvern more than the griffin that is relied on by the Erathian Empire as the Great Wall in the sky, and their number is also quite amazing, when they appear in the sky in groups, no matter what the opponent is three inches bigger.
In addition to the poisonous scorpion lion and the two-legged wyvern, the harpy banshees are also a very important component of the Entagre army's flying troops, under the full strength of Jian Chen, now the harpy banshees are not what they used to be, sophisticated equipment and new combat methods, so that this peculiar race is more active in the sky battlefield, using the light crossbow in their hands, they can cause considerable damage to unarmored targets in the air and on the ground, and the power of the dense formation of aerial spear thrusts is also amazing, now, They were equipped with a new weapon, a spear that had been conceived by Jian Chen, carefully designed by the dwarves, and made by the Imperial Arsenal.
The power of this spear throwing is not comparable to the light crossbow used by the harpy in the past, the lethality and armor-piercing power are very amazing, especially when dealing with ground targets, and the powerful kinetic energy brought by high-altitude throwing is enough for these spears to nail the heavily armored hoplites directly to the ground.
In addition, among the flight units of the Entagri Army, there are other types of troops that are relatively rare in number, but also have amazing strength.
For example, the fairy dragon.
This kind of powerful dragon clan that can use magic to attack the enemy, although the number is very small, but as long as they appear on the battlefield, they can definitely set off bursts of bloody storms and rains, powerful mobility ability, comparable to the magic strength of a magic master, plus a fairly good hand-to-hand combat ability and defense, these purple dragons have almost no natural enemies on the aerial battlefield, invincible.
There is also the poisonous scorpion lion cavalry that is being reorganized, and Jian Chen refers to the silver sè Pegasus knights of the elven kingdom.
Now the scorpion lion cavalry is also upgraded, referring to the practice of the ancient army on the earth, Chen Jian equipped the scorpion lion cavalry with several scorpion lions, this kind of preparation is a good solution to the scorpion lion as an air mount, the fatal shortcomings of being unable to fly for a long time after manning, so that the scorpion lion cavalry unit can no longer be formed on a large scale because of the scorpion lion, and now in Negan, the special scorpion lion cavalry training camp has been established, The elven archery master Keldrak is among them to train more qualified air knights for the Entagri Empire.
In the near future, the scorpion lion cavalry will replace the scorpion lion and become an important component of the flight unit of the Entagri army, when the time comes, this unit that has mastered the high archery skills will not only have a strong ground attack ability, but also shine brightly on the air battlefield because of the scorpion lion's air combat ability, because the new establishment is a good solution to the traditional scorpion lion formation, if the commander kills the scorpion lion will be easy to lose control of this weakness, the existence of a large number of scorpion lion cavalry brings fine command, Let the scorpionions act more accurately and deadly on the battlefield.
It is worth mentioning that a considerable number of the Scorpional Cavalry were transferred from the Silver Sè Pegasus Knights who had joined the former Farouk Army of the Entagri Empire.
However, this does not mean that the establishment of the Silver Sè Pegasus Knight has disappeared in the Entagre Army, and the Silver Sè Pegasus, as a kind of air mount, has its own irreplaceable advantages, so Chen Jian still maintains the establishment of the Silver Sè Pegasus Knight Force, but because the number of Silver Sè Pegasus is not large, so this force is only a few thousand people now, and before the Entagri Empire does not enter the Erimirin, I am afraid that this situation will not change.
In addition to the above, there are actually two flying units in the flight unit of the Entagri Army.
One of them is the dragon fly.
The dragon flies are not good at fighting alone, but they win by quantity, but it is a pity that the dragon flies cannot adapt to the environment outside the swamp, and they cannot stay outside the swamp for a long time, which is greatly reduced in actual combat value, and this force is still stationed in the southwest region of the Titalia swamp, if the Entagri Empire intends to seize the swamp in the future, the dragon flies will definitely show their skills again.
The other is the magical creature gargoyle.
During the period of the Hammondale Race Alliance, the gargoyles had made great contributions to the rise of the alliance with insufficient air power, but the gargoyles were not easy to make, time-consuming and laborious, and they also occupied the resources of magicians, and the price ratio was really not high in Chen Jian's opinion, and at present, there were many types of flying troops in the Entagre Army, so Chen Jian simply stopped the production of gargoyles, and instead let the magicians make iron men with all their strength - compared to gargoyles, iron men are too widely used, so although the production has not stopped until now, But the number of Iron Men is still far from meeting the needs of the Entagri army.
So now in the Entagre army, only a small number of gargoyles are retained in the Navy 6 combat team, and some are in the Imperial Academy of Magic, Chen Jian's idea is to transfer the gargoyles from the battlefield to the magic laboratory as a research object to study, he thinks that if he can figure out the principle of gargoyle production, maybe one day the Entagre Empire can open more powerful magical creatures.
With such a complete range and such a large number of flying troops, coupled with the cooperation of magicians, the Entagri army naturally has a lot of advantages in the air battlefield, and in comparison, the air power of the combined forces of the Elven Kingdom and the Bracada Kingdom is much inferior.
Needless to say, the elven kingdom has lost the forest dragon clan, and the flying troops in the elven army are only one of the silver sè pegasus knights, using the arrow rain offensive, the silver sè pegasus knights can easily carry out powerful strikes on ground targets, but when it comes to facing the same flying troops, the combat effectiveness of the silver sè pegasus knights is very insufficient.
However, now it is Gru who is in command of the elven army, and Gru knows very well how to use this army to promote its strengths and avoid its weaknesses, so the elves are not completely without the power to fight, and the silver sè Pegasus knight unit equipped with a new type of strong bow and big arrow under the blessing of the Phantom Divine Bow, as long as the tactics are correct, the combat effectiveness is still amazing.
The flying troops of the Bracada Mage Kingdom are the magical creatures of Seiichisè - gargoyles and gods.
The gargoyle has become a chicken rib in the eyes of Jian Chen, but it is a rare treasure in the eyes of the Bracada magicians, for more than a thousand years, using their own powerful magical strength, countless materials have been consumed, the magicians don't know how many gargoyles have been made to protect the airspace for them, but the performance of the magicians in the tactics of using gargoyles is lackluster, basically they are winning by quantity, using the sea of gargoyles to kill enemies in the air.
But the simplest method is often the most effective, in the face of the numerical advantage, the fear and pain are not known, and the gargoyle army is always invincible on the battlefield, as strong as a dragon is also worried.
In the use of gods and monsters, the magicians also win by quantity, in fact, not only the Bracada magicians, but also the use of the undead army by Diya's necromancers, is also the same, sinking in the ocean of magic, so that the magicians' performance in military has been unsatisfactory, whether it is the magicians of Bracada or the necromancers of Deya, this is the case.
As a strange magical creature that can reproduce itself, after so many years, the number of gods and monsters in the Bracada Kingdom has reached an astonishing number, every year, a large number of new generations of gods and monsters are born, and at the same time, the magicians have never stopped the production of gods and monsters, although the number of gods and monsters is not as large as the Bracada people and goblins, but it has also passed the Naga clan and become the third largest race in the Bracada Kingdom.
Strictly speaking, as a kind of magical creature made for the purpose of fighting, the gods and monsters can actually be soldiers of the whole people, of course, this is just theoretical, those gods and monsters self-reproduced by the new generation of gods and monsters, the ability is often strong and weak, and the magic is very different, but even so, the huge population base still allows the gods and monsters to provide a large number of soldiers for the Bracada Kingdom, and also makes the gods and monsters become the air guardian saints of the Bracada Kingdom.
The advantage of the god and monster clan is the degree, and the physique that can learn magic, so in addition to serving as a god and monster warrior in hand-to-hand combat, the god and monster mage unit is also an important part of the flying unit of the Bracada army, although there are not many of them, but these magicians who can fly freely in the air are indeed amazing, and they can often provide such and such help to friendly forces, so that the flying troops of the Bracada army can wield more powerful power on the battlefield.
However, in general, although the flying force of the Bracada Kingdom is not weak, it is still inferior to the Entagri army.
In the several air battles that were born in the Sasio region with the goal of seizing air supremacy, in the face of the menacing Entagre army, even though the flying troops of the Elven Kingdom and the Bracada Kingdom joined forces and still had a great advantage in terms of troops, they failed to get any advantage on the air battlefield, and the Entagri army, which was weaker in strength, still had a slight upper hand.
But at this time, it is still too early to say who will win and who will lose this war, or which side will have an absolute advantage, the battle has only just begun, and it will continue for some time.
However, a few small victories on the aerial battlefield were enough for Chen Jian to make good use of it.
He had these wars publicized in the country to pave the way for his plan to collect food from the people.
The strength of the Holy Alliance has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people after the last war, although the current Holy Alliance is a little different from the previous Holy Alliance, and its strength has also weakened, but of course no one will think that the Holy Alliance is vulnerable, coupled with Jian Chen's secret operation, it is with these victories that have attracted people's attention in the Entagri Empire, and the war enthusiasm that has not been completely extinguished due to the previous series of huge victories in the Entagri Empire has once again ignited the flames.
Then, in this good atmosphere of public opinion, something happened.
In order to make His Majesty the Emperor have no worries, in order to make the Entagre army fight better on the battlefield, and devote himself to the cause of racial equality, the Caveman Councilor Demak, who was once famous for donating money and goods to the alliance of the predecessor of the Empire, persuaded the people of his Caveman tribe to raise a large amount of food from his clan and donate it to the Empire for free.
"At this time when the empire is resisting the enemy, our people have no way to fight the enemy on the battlefield for Your Majesty and the empire, and we are deeply ashamed, so we have to do a little bit for the great cause of the empire in this way, and use it to comfort the warriors who fought hard against the enemy on the front line."
When Demark donated food, he made a public statement on behalf of his people.
In response, the official response of the Entagri Empire was to refuse the kindness of Demak and his people, and did not accept this batch of grain.
For this matter, the emperor Chen Jian even wrote an edict in his own handwriting, on the one hand, thanking Demak and his people for their kindness and praising them greatly, and on the other hand, saying that the empire's food stocks were sufficient to meet the needs of the Entagri army, and the food raised by the Demak people should be used for the people.
The matter was supposed to come to an end, and then it became a model of the army loving the people and the people supporting the army, and it has been widely spread in the empire since then.
But of course, the matter will not end so simply, because all this is just a trick used by Chen Jian to collect food from the people.
If you want to deceive the enemy, you must first deceive your own people, and Chen Jian once again played a game to retreat.
So things went on.
Although the Imperial side politely refused the food offered by Demak and his people, Demak and his people did not give up, they said that this time the food was raised from the people, and it was not easy to return it, and then said that they hoped to use the food to help the forest race in the forest of Tulaone or the big-eared monster tribe of Diya.
If the play is overdone, it will not be fun, so this time the imperial officials did not refuse the kindness of Demak and his people, but under the instruction of Chen Jian, this batch of grain empire officials did not ask for it in vain, but paid Demak at a reasonable price, and let it be distributed to those clansmen who voluntarily donated food.
This is the end of the matter.
This incident caused some heated discussions among the people of the Entagri Empire, and then under the deliberate guidance of some people, it attracted the attention of the people of the empire to the new races in the forests of Turalone and the Dya big-eared monsters who were about to join the empire.
And so another thing happened.
The Imperial Council, led by dozens of Cave Terran councillors, submitted to His Majesty the Emperor a proposal unanimously approved by all Imperial councillors to use civil power to aid the Tulaone Forest Race and the Dya Big-eared Monsters.
In this proposal, the parliamentarians said that mobilizing the power of the people can not only reduce the pressure on the empire on the issue of resettlement of the Tulaone forest race and the Diya big-eared monster race, but also promote the further integration of different races and eliminate the contradictions between races through mutual assistance between different races, which is very conducive to the development of the great cause of racial equality in the empire.
Chen Jian did not immediately reply to this proposal, but the parliamentarians were enthusiastic, those cave people who made the proposal first, and some parliamentarians of other races who enthusiastically and fanatically worshiped His Majesty the Emperor and believed in the concept of racial equality, even took the initiative to appeal among their respective clans, mobilizing the people, and preparing to donate money, materials and food, of course, among these councilors, there was also a figure of Demak.
Seeing this, the other parliamentarians were also a little unable to sit still, so more parliamentarians took action, and the chain reaction began to occur.
The Imperial Councillors all enjoyed an excellent reputation and prestige among the people and their respective clans, and with them taking the lead, soon, among the Negan people, a wave that Chen Jian expected to see took shape.
(There is a serious lack of power, do you still have tickets for calling support?) )
