Chapter 363: Sword Envoy
"Four Spirit Sword Envoys? It's just some parallel swordsmen who rely on equipment. A caster who needs talent will never be able to produce it in mass-production, and even if they get started with equipment, how can they get to that point with limited talent? Even the source of magic power needs to rely on equipment, how can they be able to understand the true meaning of magic, they are just some rookies who can never advance, spend so many resources, and can't find a few young mages with excellent qualifications to concentrate on training, and a great mage will return to their roots. β
After the stunning appearance of the Red Maple City defense line, what was waiting for the Four Spirit Sword Envoys was not only praise, but also the poor endurance of the magic power, the lack of high-level spells, and the weaknesses of the difficulty of advancement were found one by one, which made the major powers feel at ease, but also dispelled their plans to introduce this profession.
They are interested in the creation of magic mechanics, but these new classes are unexpectedly cold.
Most people are skeptical about the nascent profession, but if even the archmages of the Cloud Tower hold the same opinion, it is very telling, after all, they are the authority of the caster.
Indeed, although this new class allows mortals to operate magic power, it is difficult for them to go further at the level of spellcasters due to their lack of magic perception and elemental attraction talents, and ten low-level rookies can't beat a high-level, and a profession with no development prospects will naturally be questioned.
ββ¦β¦ Brother Roland may have considered the strategic significance of the caster's cluster. β
Even Renee, who admires Roland the most, can probably only defend him in this way.
"Talent? Can you eat it? β
As for the skeptical eye, Roland said so, he does have the capital of pride. As a student who has set a new record in the Spell Academy. A "magic idiot" who has been denied the path of the caster by dozens of mentors. But step by step, he has come to the current Double Truth Archmage, and he said that talent is useless, which is indeed quite convincing.
However, special cases are difficult to replicate, and even Roland himself has to admit that it is almost a miracle to be able to get to this point, can there still be one Roland among the hundreds of four spirit sword envoys, the answer is obviously no.
In fact. The fact that the four spirit swords that have only been in the single digits for more than a year have successfully advanced to silver, and the fact that the advanced ones often have spellcaster talents themselves makes the vast majority of supporters a little disheartened.
Dong Lan, who has limited resources, has also held an internal discussion on whether to continue to expand the scale of the Four Spirit Sword Envoys according to the expected plan, after all, Dong Lan is not rich now, but he is not a big empire with money and no place to burn, and it is very luxurious to invest in a long-term with no foreseeable future.
In the face of doubts from all sides, it is obviously not okay to continue and go it alone, and it was only at the internal meeting that Roland threw out his true understanding of this profession.
"You guys. Or are you too young, and the huge magic is just a qiΔ? Pure pursuit of power. What is the difference between this and a gorilla in the wild. β
Perhaps at the time, only Dimiret could understand Roland's train of thought a little, but today, all critics have to recreate the evaluation of their new profession.
After all, war is the best litmus test, and being able to achieve outstanding results on the battlefield will naturally be able to block all criticism.
The engines of the Aurora were all started, the giant beasts hiding in the clouds began to wake up, searchlights lit up the surrounding sky, and the next moment, the open hatch was opened, and the Aurora Knights harnessed the brilliance of the Aurora to cut through the sky, but hundreds of sword envoys fell straight down in the sky, and when they could see the ground clearly, they activated the light on their backs.
Bright orange flames lit up the sky, and streaks of light pierced the sky and flew towards their chosen target.
And these Four Spirit Sword Envoys did not fall alone, they each carried heavy packages, and ordinary flying spells could no longer carry them.
Unlike the slow and unlasting flight spells of the past, these power-packs that spew magical flames are fast and powerful, but if used by ordinary people, they are probably no different from the unlucky ones who ride in a goblin rocket car, and when they go to the sky, they have to think about how to get off the ground with their lives.
However, the Four Spirit Sword Envoys who have been trained in magic control can accurately control the intensity of the flames, control the wind, and control their own direction, and in order to better complete the control control, their magic sword is inserted into the control center of the backpack at this time, instead of making commands for themselves.
"One team on the surface to clear out the fish that harassed the fleet, two teams underwater, sniping high-threat targets, three teams patrolling in the air, and the backup and bombing missions are handed over to you."
After the order was given, the detachments tore open the huge wrapping cloth of their own salutes, revealing the plug-in accessories that they had already equipped.
The first team was a small single-person speedboat "Dolphin 1", with a place to step on the popular metal shell and a power engine, and the driver stepped on the speedboat less than two meters, but had to tie himself to it with chains, otherwise he could be thrown out at any time.
The powerful engine allows the speedboat to swim at high speed on the water, even faster than the Flying Fish! They roam around the ship, choosing small targets to kill.
And the weapons they are equipped with are all frenzied heavy firepower, on the fire platform of Dolphin No. 1, a rotary machine gun is actually placed, and what the Four Spirit Sword Envoys and Magic Catapult Shooters have to do is to use the magic sword to insert the speedboat to control the direction, and then enchant the ammunition to break armor, accelerate, explode and other auxiliary abilities, and finally pull the trigger on the target.
At this moment, both the speedboat and the heavy firepower have become the life-saving limbs of the swordman, a new class that has been rated as having no future and shows its own unique way of fighting.
The three speedboats roared in front of the sea giant, like a rushing storm, and the roaring artillery directly pierced him through hundreds of holes, and the mighty golden giant fell head-on.
The second team of underwater workers carried breathing tanks and diving equipment, and after entering the water, the "Sea Otter Prototype", a special backpack for both water and air, will convert the fire magic into the driving force of the water system, making it more flexible underwater than the fishman.
The special harpoon guns they are equipped with are only backup weapons, and even a temporary ice pick is enough to kill the unarmored sea tribes underwater, and their goal is to snipe the casters who hide underwater. Eradicate possible threats to warships.
"Impossible!"
The sea tribes were surprised to find that they could store faster and more flexibly than themselves underwater. The Naga Archmage, who was preparing to cast a spell, was directly pierced by a harpoon. Even though her level has reached the top of the terrifying legend, the proverb that there is no absolute safety on the battlefield has been proven once again, and she who thinks she is absolutely safe has no protection, and she was pierced without resistance, allowing the second team to take the lead in receiving the spoils since the start of the war.
The three teams were not equipped with any powerful weapons, but in fact they had the largest number of heads, and they carried oil drums full of explosives......
Well, that's the improvised remote-controlled explosion depth charge. The underwater operators of the second team provide local coordinates for their teammates, call for fire support, and provide the most suitable time for the explosion...... Even if he was only stunned at the time, the appearance of consciousness on the surface of the water is equivalent to a death sentence.
"Happy fried fish, this one is a good catch. A7, I'm on my way to the next target. OVERοΌ β
Say hello to your underwater companions and the wandering bombers float anew. Go to the Northern Lights and take down a depth charge.
But what they have to do is not just a simple air raid mission, covering their companions. It's their job to provide a logistical source of energy.
And the excellent performance of the Four Spirit Sword Envoys and the Demon Bullet Shooter even shocked the cousins of those gold-level Aurora Knights, compared to them, these little guys who were less than the average bronze rank actually far surpassed their gold-level Ice Nightmare Knights in terms of battle results.
Originally, the Aurora Knights were indeed a formidable class of troops that were very suitable for surface combat, they could freeze the ice and run on the water, but their attack methods were still extremely traditional, whether it was ice magic or physical impact, the sea tribes could make the right way to protect themselves.
Although it is also crushed, as long as the sea tribe escapes to the deep sea, they can't chase it, and they can't chase it, how can there be a simple and rude depth charge.
And at this moment, the advantages of the Four Spirit Sword Envoys are reflected, they can operate their own accessories like limbs, they can choose armed accessories to adapt to the battlefield, and the magic swordsmen who are equipped with surface warfare and diving battle equipment have demonstrated their ability to adapt to the battlefield better than the Sea Clan.
It is true that the Four Spirit Sword Envoys are a profession that relies on external objects extremely much, but is it really not possible to rely on external objects, a certain civilization has also relied on foreign objects to reach the top of the world, and invented foreign objects that can destroy the planet and the world alone.
Can't increase your mana level and use high-level magic? Can the gunners of that world level themselves up, double their bullets or make the barrel burst into flames? But in fact, there is no comparison between an ordinary soldier who has completed basic training and an elite fighter who has experienced a hundred battles, and it can be pursued for a lifetime just by providing skills in using weapons and skills as a driver.
Fragile yourself? Lack of mobility? If you feel that the range or firepower is insufficient, it is not enough to replace it with a strengthened accessory.
Running out of mana? Bringing more is not enough, who stipulates that you can only bring one power source, you see those speedboat pilots carry ten magic Olivia boxes and three magic swords with them.
"Is it difficult to advance by relying on external objects? Then, it is enough to increase the level of foreign objects, which is much simpler than cultivating a high-end mage, and it can also be mass-produced! Are the Dwarf Rifle and Dwarven Sniper Gun of the same rank? The combined power of magic and engineering artillery will increase by more than ten times, is there a comparison between the small chariot and the Roland Titan? Moreover, I don't think that the Four Spirit Sword Envoys have no possibility of advancement, it's just that they have found the wrong direction of advancement! β
In the conference room that refuted the controversy, Roland personally showed those newly invented sword marks and a variety of magic sword skills, this is a profession that pursues skill over strength, since the source of magic power is external, then, researching new powerful sword marks, and developing new magic sword skills with sword marks, may be his advanced direction.
"Sword envoys, people who use swords, don't be bound by the concepts of the past, why do you have to look at them with spellcasters, look at the real use of these four spirit sword envoys, the reason why they are called people is because only humans can use tools in this world, which is also the root cause of their leading evolution on the road to evolution...... Okay, I'm slipping the tongue, elves, orcs, dwarves are fine, so get off my head, Heloise, a little anemic lately. β
The Four Spirit Sword Envoys are the magic masters, and they originated from the magic mechanism, they are the best companions, they are the children of war, and they are also the darlings of the new era, and with the development of the magic mechanism, they will become stronger.
Moreover, as long as there are enough people at the grassroots level, there will always be geniuses, perhaps the advancement rate of ordinary mages is one-tenth, and these sword envoys with poor qualifications are only one-thirtieth, but after lowering the threshold of spellcasters, they can take out more than a hundred times the number, as long as the time is long enough and the base is enough, there will naturally be a harvest day.
Of course, this strength also has a price, Donglan's Four Spirit Sword Envoys have more than 5,000 people, but they only bring 200 people, not because Renee thinks she has too many people, but just because there are only 200 people equipped with equipment at present, there are only so many people who can go to the battlefield.
And in order to further expand the power of this arm with unlimited potential, it is necessary not only resources and money, but also a country's industrial and educational strength, which cannot be solved overnight.
All it takes is an engineer to make an engineering piece of equipment? Heh, experts are needed from the beginning of the design, the materials of the equipment need the support of the forging and metallurgical industries, the enchantment and inscription circles need to be enchanted by archmages who are proficient in enchantment, and the alchemists need to complete the infusion of magic power and the circulation of the energy pool.
If you want to form an assembly-line high-mass production model, then the requirements for the industrial level are higher.
Seeing the battle situation in front of him, seeing the sword envoys whose physical strength was less than the bronze rank, which far exceeded the battlefield achievements of those gold-rank knights, Renee was more able to understand Roland's deployment, and it seemed that from the beginning, in his eyes, he had seen a new era that was completely different from the current battlefield.
Or, on the battlefields of the future, ordinary cold weapon users will be abandoned, and magic swordsmen with special magic swords will replace the most basic warrior classes, the threshold for elemental users will be extremely low, mages will be removed from the altar, and the creations of magic mechanics will take their place as kings of the battlefield.
At that time, perhaps what countries are fighting for is not territory, but all kinds of natural resources, and the countries are not competing for many strong people, but in terms of technology and craftsmanship, war will no longer be crushed by the top combat power, naturally powerful dragons and giants can no longer be high, mortals who have undergone training are the protagonists of the times, and great craftsmen and engineers will replace the position of forbidden spell mages.
ββ¦β¦ Is this a time-changing invention? β
Renee remembered Roland's judgment when she first saw Olivia's box, why he was so authoritarian in this regard that he suppressed all objections and invested a lot of resources and manpower into this "Roland's little interest (behind Olivia's box is maliciously called Olivia's bottomless pit)", perhaps from the beginning, he had anticipated this day, and even tried his best to promote these changes.
In fact, Roland does see very clearly that every industrial revolution is an opportunity for countries to reshuffle their cards, and one step slower is equal to every step slow, and what backwardness will bring, in fact, there is no need to explain more
ββ¦β¦ At least, we're ahead now! And these leads will become our resources and bargaining chips in the future. β
Yes, at present, Roland and his team are undoubtedly on top of the world in this regard, and after showing their outstanding combat power here today, Donglan will also have more political, military, and economic bargaining chips.
If Roland can see through the shape of the future world, Renee clenched her fists at this time, she vaguely saw the possibility of her motherland becoming a superpower, perhaps, this holy war is also an opportunity for this nation that has suffered too much and suffering.
"We will eventually stand on top of the world." (To be continued......)
