Chapter 814: Innovation
In the summer of that year, except for the still war-torn kingdom of Krurod, the rest of the continent of Erathia was relatively calm. First.
But all this is nothing more than the calm before the storm.
Beneath this abnormal calm, there are all kinds of undercurrents that are turbulent.
Of course, this is also true in the Bracada Mage Kingdom, an old powerhouse that has occupied the snow-capped mountain region in the southern part of the continent for more than a thousand years.
Magnus, the only ruler of the kingdom all along, known as the Immortal King, has been in a state of good and bad lately
The fiasco of Sasso is a rare fiasco in the Bracada Mage Kingdom over the years, and it can even be said to be an extremely rare fiasco after the founding of the country, even if it has just fought with the Krurod Kingdom for such a long time, and the war in the Tytalia swamp for a long time, the two together, its losses are far less heavy than the losses of Sasso's first battle, and this battle has dealt an extremely heavy blow to the morale of the Bracada army, because even the famous and undefeated magician general Star Trosa, It was not able to undo the defeat this time, and the strength of the Entagrean army caused a serious psychological shadow to many Bracada magicians and soldiers.
Magnus was annoyed that he had underestimated his opponent again.
If some magic masters had been sent to help, if they had been asked to bring some magical treasures, if they had paid more attention to the aerial battlefield, perhaps the situation would not have evolved like this.
But regret obviously has no remedial effect on what has already been born.
Magnus felt that Jian Chen was like his destined nemesis, and he really couldn't understand why this guy would jump out and harm his own business every time, and always pick the most critical time.
Even Tanan had never made him so angry.
By now, Magnus's fear of Chen Jian and the Entagri Empire he created had far surpassed that of Tanan, because Tanan, a fool, had used some rules and regulations to restrain himself to death, while Chen Jian acted without scruples.
What worries Magnus even more is that recently there has been a faint intelligence pointing out that this guy Tanan seems to have appeared in the Entagri Empire, although it is not completely certain, Magnus always feels that Chen Jian should have joined forces with Tanan.
Two strong enemies join forces, what kind of concept will this be, one Tanan is enough to make people's heads three inches bigger, not to mention, now there is an even more headache Chen Jian, the result of the addition of the two must have played a role where one plus one is greater than two.
It's just that he still doesn't know the real details of these two difficult guys, Tanan has always been elusive, and every time he appears, it will always lead to a series of major events, and this time will definitely be no exception, and the miraculous rise of Chen Jian's Entagri Empire has completely changed the inherent pattern of the continent.
All kinds of unprecedented changes are taking place, many things have been changed, such an ethereal thing as racial equality has even a glimmer of possibility to be realized, the traditional mode of war is being completely subverted, and the political system that has been used for more than 1,000 years is gradually being broken.
This is the biggest and most terrifying change in more than a thousand years.
Magnus was not mentally prepared for such a change, he did not understand why the change was born so quickly, so fast that he could not be blinded, so fast that he was a little confused, and the many experiences he had spent more than a thousand years accumulating suddenly became useless at this time.
But all this did not stop Magnus's ambitions, he had been stinging for so many years, and once he moved, he was not prepared to fail, and he could not tolerate failure, and the glory of the Bracadon Empire, the glory of the Age of Miracles, would be restored by his hands.
It was the successive setbacks that did not discourage Magnus, and after careful analysis, he believed that even if Sasio's defeat was a bit too miserable, he still had a considerable advantage.
For example, the superiority of national strength.
Among the few remaining forces on the continent of Erathia, although the Entagre Empire is currently in full swing, after all, the rise time is too short, even if the Entagre army is strong in combat, Magnus does not think that the Entagre Empire has surpassed the Bracada Kingdom that has accumulated for more than a thousand years in terms of national strength, and he has an astonishing number of strategic material reserves in his hands that the Entagre Empire cannot match.
As for the other forces, Magnus is even less concerned, the Erathian Empire, which is known as the strongest country on the mainland, has been ruined by Kendall, even if Catherine returns, it is impossible for this sunset empire to recover in a short time; The elven kingdom was even more weakened by the blow of the Entagri Empire, and its national strength plummeted; As for the kingdom of Krurod, the old enemy of the magicians and the barbarians, it is now happening, and Magnus believes that as long as he waits for a while, he can join forces with the Erathia Empire and the Elven Kingdom to destroy it in one fell swoop, which is no longer important.
Then there's the advantage of magical power.
The Kingdom of Bracada is the only country on the continent that can form a corps of magicians, and it is also the only country other than the Entagri Empire that can use magic portals to maneuver without any scruples, and the Kingdom of Bracada also has the ability to make magic props that other forces can't match, and those magic masters who have been hidden in the kingdom have also been under the orders of his Magnus, ready to participate in the war, in addition, some magical treasures treasured in the treasury have also been taken out by him and will be used on the battlefield.
For the next battle, Magnus is ready to go all out, and he will show the world how terrible the real combat effectiveness of the Bracada army is.
At the same time, because of the above, the Bracada Kingdom still occupies a dominant position in the reorganized Holy Alliance, which is also a huge advantage that cannot be ignored, as long as the Holy Alliance does not disperse, the Bracada Kingdom can effectively use the power of the Erathia Empire and the Elven Kingdom to some extent.
And Magnus is not just blindly satisfied with these advantages, and after the pain of the loss, he is also trying to adapt to the situation and make some changes.
Under the auspices of Trosa, the Bracada army is taking advantage of the calm before the storm to carry out changes in an orderly manner, and the flying troops have received unprecedented attention, and now that the tactics of air guerrilla can effectively deal with the Entagre army, a large number of magic wands are being equipped to the gods and monsters to temporarily learn the use of bows and crossbows, and it will definitely be too late to make a large number of bows and crossbows, so except for some of the gods and monsters who are more talented in learning, Magnus according to the characteristics of his country, It was decided to equip the gods and monsters with magic staffs, which sealed all kinds of attack magic and could be used by ordinary people at will, enough to make his gods and monsters immediately transform into an aerial mage army with powerful long-range attack capabilities.
In order to deal with the enemy's magic immunity space, in addition to the inventory of magic wands, magic wand production factories around the country are also working day and night, in order to produce more magic wands in a limited time, Magnus intends to use crowd tactics to fight against the magic immunity space of the Entagre army, if all the gods and monsters of the Bracada army can be equipped with magic wands, even if it is only the lowest level of attack power The weakest magic wand that can be mass-produced, after the quantitative change causes the qualitative change, The only magic immunity space of the Entagree army does not pose much threat to the Bracada army - no matter what, this magic immunity space can only appear on one of the battlefields at the same time, and the range of action is limited, while the army of gods and monsters after the transformation of the Bracada Kingdom can attack multiple locations at the same time with its number, and the attack power of a low-level magic is not strong, and thousands of low-level magic appear at the same time, which is not bad.
What's more, the air power in Magnus's plan is not limited to the army of gods and monsters after the change, how to effectively fight in the air of the mage legion has also been officially put on the agenda by him, and then, in the last naval battle, the Achilles heel was exposed, and the new type of airship after the re-improvement has also begun to work day and night, and a considerable number of new airships have been equipped with various mage legions during this time.
In addition, the acquisition plan of the air mount is also underway, after secretly assisting the half-elf Gru, if there is no accident, as long as Gru controls the military and political power of the elf kingdom, the Bracada kingdom can obtain a large number of silver flying horses from the elf kingdom to equip the mage legion, when the time comes, the god and monster troops and the mage legion will join forces, and the air combat power will be even stronger, of course, whether this matter can be done or not, it is not completely certain for the time being, but for now, Gru seems to be very sincere in cooperation, things are going well, and everything that has been born in the elven kingdom recently is the best proof of this.
At the suggestion of Trosa, Magnus also made some improvements to the traditional flying class of the Bracada Army, the magical creature gargoyle, - maybe it is not an improvement, it is nothing more than to get some weapons for the gargoyles, inspired by the Entagre army, the gargoyles are equipped with spears, and the results of the test made Magnus quite satisfied, and the gargoyles who formed a formation under the command of the magicians to carry out the air cluster stabbing are very powerful, although the degree has not changed, but they are used to escort the flying ships, Or engage in aerial cluster soul battles, which are all good.
For this reason, the iron mines and foundries throughout the Bracada Kingdom also had to work overtime day and night, and the number of gargoyles in the Bracada Army made the goblin workers in the kingdom almost exhausted.
The war machine of the Bracada Kingdom is finally in full swing, Magnus is full of confidence, he believes that the next time the Bracada army appears on the battlefield, it will definitely shock the world, the current Bracada army, like a beast hidden in the shadows, waiting for the right time to show its sharp minions to the opponent.
It's just that Magnus is a little unhappy that not many of these changes in the Bracada Army's flying unit are Bracada's own innovations, and they are basically learned from others, of course, this kind of festival was quickly forgotten by Magnus.
The process is not important, the result is what matters, and in order to reproduce the glory of the Brakkat Empire and the glory of the Age of Miracles, it is perfectly acceptable for him to learn from his opponent such unpleasant knots.
The Bracada Kingdom is actively preparing for war, and the Erathia Empire is certainly not idle.
Compared with Magnus, Catherine, the re-ascended Empress of the Empire, was actually more troubled at this time.
There was no way she could not be annoyed.
She had expected that after the catastrophe brought about by Kendall, the Erathian Empire would change, but this was not the case.
Kendall's fanatical toughness and recklessness have brought new problems to the Erathia Empire, and many old problems that had been hidden have resurfaced, and the Erathia Empire, which has just recovered a little vitality, has been damaged again and its strength has been greatly damaged, but it has not brought any impact on the minds of the imperial people.
What Kendall left Catherine with was an immensely large mess, but it did not leave any of Catherine's hopes to break through, even if it was only an extremely small chance.
Because people blame all the faults on Kendall's wrong governance, and pin all their hopes on Catherine, who is back in power.
They don't need to think about the reason why the empire is what it is today, whether it has anything to do with them, whether they have done anything wrong, and they continue to be arrogant, believing that all failures and difficulties are only temporary, and that a wise empress can lead them back to their former glory.
So they continue to reject the Dao clan, they don't care much about the strong rise of the Entagri Empire and the changes in the situation on the mainland, they believe that the last time the country was almost destroyed, the empire has survived, and this time it will definitely be the same, they reject change, they hate foreigners, they don't have a good impression of the Ntagrean Empire, which vigorously preaches racial equality, and they also hold a grudge against the Ntagrean Empire because of the crushing defeat of Hamengdale, of course, they also don't have much good impression of other forces.
Only a very small number of people realize that the world is playing a completely different, unprecedented change, and only a very few people can appear, an irresistible trend is slowly sweeping the entire continent, including the Erathian Empire.
Only a handful of people can notice what really led to the fall of the Erathian Empire.
All this seemed to Catherine so sad.
She really wanted to change all this according to her own wishes, but she had no way to use strong medicine on the Erathia Empire, the Erathia Empire was already too sick, and this empire was so weak now, if she ignored the will of the majority of the people and forcibly implemented the drastic reforms she wanted, it would only make the Erathia Empire fall into a bigger soul, and then accelerate the destruction of this empire under the current situation on the continent of the soul.
She can only slowly drug this long-ailing and weak empire, let it recover a little bit of vitality first, consolidate its foundation, and then carry out more things.
But what makes people helpless is that the external threat caused by the situation in the soul continent does not have enough time for her to do all this.
It's a dead end that can't be solved.
Rao is Catherine's genius, and in the face of such a dead situation, she can only cry out in vain.
But Catherine is Catherine after all, and in the end, she still finds a way, even if it's just a way that isn't.
That's to follow the trend.
The Entagri Empire has the power created by Jian Chen, and the Erathia Empire also has its own power.
Catherine obeyed the power of the Erathian Empire itself.
So she chose to reorganize the Holy Alliance with the Bracada Kingdom and the Elven Kingdom; So she led the Erathia Empire to finally stand on the opposite side of the Entagri Empire, and also made herself an enemy of Jian Chen again.
This is undoubtedly a difficult path to take, she knows very well how powerful the Entagri Empire is, and no one in the Holy Alliance knows better than her how terrifying the Entagri Empire is, because this empire was originally planned by her, and Jian Chen just embodied it.
She also knows very well that the three countries of the Holy Alliance are not of the same mind, the intrigue between each other and the conflict of interests are secondary, and the most terrible fact is that each of the three countries does not forget to annex each other from time to time, she is very sure that as long as there is the right opportunity, the current two allies will definitely become the most deadly opponents of the empire immediately, and they will not hesitate to kill the Erathian Empire in the back, and they are also the kind of ruthless hands that eat people and do not spit out bones.
Even if this does not happen, it is inevitable that people will be taken advantage of the geographical location of the Erathian Empire.
The Erathian Empire, in fact, has always been fighting alone.
Catherine wasn't sure what the final outcome would be, but she didn't think the Erathian Empire would have much chance of being the ultimate victor, even if she were to be at the helm.
But Catherine believed that with her presence, even if the Erathia Empire was finally defeated, the outcome would not be too bleak, and she had already secretly calculated.
However, that doesn't mean she's going to throw in the towel, she'll still give it her all to win, even if she's facing an opponent she least wants to face.
During this time, under her vigorous rectification, the Erathian Empire began to become orderly again, and it was very much restored to some of its old atmosphere.
After a detailed study of the process of the first battle of Sasso, a large-scale reform of the Erathia Army is also being carried out, but compared with other forces, the air superiority of the Erathia Army is significantly weaker.
Catherine had a big headache about it.
The angel clan was pulled away by Jian Chen, and it was also the most elite half, although the griffins were brave and numerous, but only courage and number were useless in today's air battlefield, the Elasia Army flight unit composed of angels and griffins could not fight against the Entagri Empire, nor could it fight against the coalition forces of the Bracada Kingdom and the Elven Kingdom, or even just an elven kingdom, it was a little difficult, in the face of Grumin's air guerrilla tactics, the Erathia Army flight unit did not have much advantage at all.
This situation must be changed, otherwise the tragedy of hundreds of thousands of ground troops in Hamendale being easily annihilated will be repeated.
However, the griffin itself is unthinkable, the carrying capacity of the griffin is far less than Negan's poisonous scorpion lion, after repeated attempts, Catherine has no choice but to find that even a warrior of normal weight and only equipped with leather armor and heavy crossbows, equipped with as many as five griffins, is still unable to stay in the air for a long time, let alone carry out jī fierce battles.
She had to think of something else.
Eventually, Catherine turned to her husband, Roland, Emperor of the Enroth Iron Fist Dynasty.
