Chapter 179: First Sight of Magic
The Thorn Gem Empire, the largest empire on the road, the core area is the size of the Southern Song Dynasty, with the management level of this world, a country the size of the Southern Song Dynasty is already the limit of management in this era. However, this world is a feudal system. So with countless vassal states, the territory of this country is very vast. Most of the lands nominally belonging to the empire were divided between the empire and the various archdukes. Because it can't be managed, it's divided into families who are loyal to themselves. This was the dead knot of the imperial state, because the power of the central empire could not control the place in detail. Then there is only the transfer of rights that cannot be controlled, one right is to divide the feud, and the second is to coexist with the local family.
However, this plane is a heavy demon plane, and the Thorn Gem Empire has a magic legion with powerful firepower in this era, and the central group has an absolute advantage in terms of force. Ren Di and Yun Chenhe's team walked all the way along the road, and the straight-line distance from the Baiyan Principality, where Xiaofeng was located, to the target area was 1,500 kilometers, which is equivalent to what concept, the distance between Beijing and Guangzhou was 2,000 kilometers, so the leap from north to south would clearly feel the change in temperature. From the bitter cold of the north to the south, you can feel the lush vegetation. Such a large territory nominally belonged to the Thorn Gem Empire. Unlike countries on the planet, where every inch of territory is contested, war can break out in even a desert. In this country where industrialization has not erupted, only the zone with a suitable climate and convenient transportation can be used as a lord's base, and most of the other areas belong to the defensive circle, which can be used for war, and the legions can fight at will, passing by, and plundering the zone.
At the same time, Ren Di and Yunchen are heading towards the core of the continent, representing the power of evolution and infiltrating in the direction of the hope of evolution. However, Ren Di can also be regarded as having seen the terroir of this world.
The earthly beast was walking on the paws as thick as an elephant, and there were footprints on the dirt road, this strange earth-walking beast, Ren Di had seen it many times in so many days. This beast has front teeth like rats. At 1.5 meters tall, it is as strong as a rhinoceros. As a creature on this continent that does not know how long the history of domestication has been, there are two very good characteristics, the first is that it can bear weight, and the second is that it can eat, and it is not picky to eat here.
Ren Di had seen this kind of earth-walking beast eating, and when he encountered grass, it was like a vacuum cleaner swallowing it into his stomach, and when he encountered a wood, his front teeth appeared from his thick lips, and he took a few bites, revealing a miserable white wood gap. The broken wood fibers on the notch show how good the animal's teeth are. However, this animal constituted the main force of long-distance freight transport on the continent, and such caravans were carried between almost every principality.
Behind the troops behind Ren Di hung such a caravan of forty-three earth-walking beasts in the distance. Looking at the powerful load of the earthworm behind him, Ren Di couldn't help but marvel at the creatures born in this high-oxygen world. This is simply a natural transport of livestock, and there is no need to prepare food and grass for it. Ren Di asked, although this thing is inconspicuous, it is a strategic material for the army.
However, this caravan was not invited by Ren Di Yunchen and took the initiative, from the beginning Ren Di and Yunchen and this group of people marched along the road at a marching speed, and they didn't know how many caravans they encountered along the way, but every encounter was a heavy alert in the caravan. The cart was encircled in the center, and all the men took up their weapons and were carefully guarded. Of course, none of these precautions were ineffective in the end. Ren Di is not interested in causing more trouble on this road. The levies with the price of gold loot unless Ren Di's head is funny. Ren Di's troops remained on alert, their bows and crossbows loaded, and they detoured from the area three hundred meters away from the caravan.
All the way to the march at high speed. It didn't slow down until here. It's a big forest. The map doesn't seem to match. However, the caravan behind him followed.
However, the merchants in the rear are also very entangled, and most of the caravans, caravans that trade in this world have the support of the lord. With the support of the lord, on the surface, he was not brutally seized by other lords, but in this era, there were also some tasteless lords who made cameo appearances as robbers robbing nearby passing merchants. So safe transportation is a huge problem, first of all, you have to take the initiative to pay protection money to the nearby lords along the way. Avoid robber raids played by the regular army. At the same time, you have to have force yourself.
The barrel caravan was one of the many caravans struggling to survive, and when Ren Di and Yunchen approached with a legion (1,500 people in this world for a legion) soldiers, the leader of this caravan was basically desperate. Not to mention the pressed cuirass on the soldiers' bodies, the half-human-high foot-stepping bow and crossbow alone is the contraband among the contraband in the major principalities. However, such a legion did not pay attention to itself and went straight to the detour.
Along the way, the main messenger of the barrel caravan saw the traces of a battle. Many robbers who were shot into hedgehogs were piled up on the side of the road indiscriminately. From the surrounding traces, it can be seen that these bandits are charging on mounts, and the scene of the charge is about one or two hundred cavalry suddenly charging and raiding. However, the steps of the robbers in a panicked retreat can be seen appearing on the grass in all directions. If the sneak attack was successful, the steps of retreat would have been gathered together and left in large groups, and now the stampede marks scattered around the grass were obviously fleeing in a panic.
In this era, the combat effectiveness of an army with such discipline is terrifying. Through the footsteps left by Ren Di's army leaving neatly, it shows that Ren Di Yunchenhe's army was not seriously damaged. The short-eyed robber was attacking an army that was on high alert. The army did not wear any badges to show identity, and it was clear that it was on a mission.
The barrel merchant group is now led by a strong man with a beard, Marse. The man's face turned pale at this time as the army came to a standstill in front. The big plan of Marseille's urging of the caravan along the way was that the army in front of him swept away the bandits, and he could follow the temporarily safe road that had been swept away. However, he bumped into Ren Di and the others here, and when he saw a young nobleman (Ren Di) who was the leader of the army in front of him turning his head to look at him, Ma Sai felt a burst of sweat hair standing up behind him, and he couldn't advance or retreat.
Ren Di looked at the caravan coming on the road behind him, turned back to Yun Chenhe and said, "Brother Yun, the people behind may know the way." Yun Chenhe turned his head to look at the team behind him and just wanted to agree, but suddenly turned his head and looked at the other side of the deep forest. Ren Di followed and became alert. Along the way, Yun Chenhe's life detection played a very powerful role. Basically, the opponent doesn't have to sneak attack.
Ren Di asked Yun Chenhe, "What is it?" Yun Chenhe said: "Dense, more than five hundred heads." Ren Di felt the direction of the wind, and the direction of Yun Chenhe's vigilance happened to be the direction of the wind, which means that this wave of sneak attackers came against the direction of the wind. The smell on my body can't drift away.
Ren Di immediately climbed up to a height of ten meters from the trees. The dagger in his hand was firmly fixed on the trunk of the tree, and Yun Chenhe shouted: "Ren Di, it's a pack of wolves, remember the azimuth angle of 175 degrees, there is a sign of life within four hundred meters that is particularly strong." ”
What does it mean to be particularly strong, Ren Di understood, standing on the trees and seeing the back of the wolf crawling in the grass slowly advancing through the bushes. Ren Di said, "Hey, I hate the wizarding world. Turning his head to look at the troops forming the defensive formation, he sighed distressedly, and shouted to Yun Chenhe: "I'll go over first." Yun Chenhe said: "Do what you can." ”
Looking at the army in front of him standing up urgently, forming a queue of spears, the metal on the head of the spear flashed with a sharp cold light, rows of crossbowmen took the crossbow from their backs, put the crossbow down, and the thighs kicked the strings vigorously, showing the strength of this winding, and the sound of a series of rotating gears of metal parts in the process of accumulation of elastic potential energy, the sound of clicking and grinding teeth made people chill in their bones.
Finding that the army in front suddenly showed a fighting posture, the caravan behind suddenly stood up in a panic like a frightened bird, drew its weapons from behind or from the car, and looked nervously at the army in front of him, Marseille hurriedly shouted: "The army in front is not aimed at us. There is a case. Keep me on my toes. "The chaotic caravan, from the chaos, stabilized. A young mercenary leaned over to Marseille and asked, "Boss." What the situation. ”
Marse's eyes were horrified to see the figure in front of him flying five meters high. He sighed uncertainly: "This, is it, the Great Knight." ”
This plane is the world of the middle demons, since it is the world of the middle demons, there is absolutely no spell that can easily destroy the evolution officer with superhuman physical fitness, and the appearance of magic in this world only weakens the personal combat power of the evolution officer. But it is by no means the individual combat power of this world that is better than the evolved officer. Judging by the current evolution, any spellcaster alone is enough to choke on the upper evolution officer. If the strength exceeds five points, it is a monster that can be reborn with a broken limb. Flame burning, and a short period of burning causes massive skin necrosis, which is only a drizzle of damage. With an agility of more than five points, the critical strike power can crush the world's great knights. He only has more than five points of intelligence, and he can't fight against the world's top power, but there is no problem in escaping.
No matter how powerful the caster is, if there is no effective coordination, the Evolution Officer is enough to decapitate a slow firing during the spell casting process. And the combat power of this world knight is equivalent to 1.5 agility and 1.5 strength. Don't underestimate this 0.5, the reaction is 0.5, the recovery power, the power released by the muscle power is 0.5 times higher, which is enough to open the matchless in battle. The top Grand Knight has 4 agility and no more than 4 strength. The most cutting-edge mages have a high intelligence due to the fact that they have to record a lot of knowledge of magic configurations, and the intelligence points of the great mages may reach five. Of course, the intelligence of the Evolved Officer does not unleash magic, but shows power in this world in another way.
Through the wolf's scalp, Ren Di felt the sound of the wolf's skull shattering, and could even feel the scene of the broken bone slag shooting into the brain marrow. Ren Di's shoes have small pyramid-like metal cones at the bottom, arranged on the shoe board, and these shoes are tied to the legs with special leather boots. Now that it has become a sharp weapon for smashing, Ren Di quickly ran through the bushes and consciously stepped on the dog's head, not the wolf's head. The metal cone, supported by the thigh muscles, is in contact with the wolf's skull, known as the iron head, and it is instantly distinguished who is hard.
Life in this world is still carbon-based. Although some strange things were mixed in, it could not change the physical nature of carbon-based life. Ren Di is as simple as stepping on a shell, the movement of these wolves raising their heads is too slow in Ren Di's perception, and then these wolves will never be able to raise their heads. If given enough time, Ren Di can easily kill these wolves, just like an adult man tramples a newborn pug.
Ren Di is now purely rubbing his wounds. Any conscious touch can cause bones to shatter. There is no so-called stepping on the floor several times in a row, contacting the floor many times and exerting force many times. The real use of power is flashy, because repeated stepping requires multiple leg lifts, which is an unnecessary energy drain. Similarly, Ren Di's killing technique does not have any superfluous justification suitable for war. If the target is close, then it is necessary to take advantage of the advantage of being accurate at close range and pursue accurate shots. Inflicting multiple strikes at close range is purely a waste of inaccurate judgment. Since it is close combat, it is necessary to do a good job of targeting each blow at the heart of the hostile life, the throat, nose and eye T zone. Once you succeed, don't make extra moves.
The dead wolf whimpered after dying, and the wolf king in the wolf pack heard this series of deaths and deflated sounds of his kind, approaching at a fast pace. At the same time, a figure approached in a straight line like a cannonball. The wolf king's mouth flashed with a cyan light, and he was about to spit out something, but as soon as he spit it out, the back of his neck was lifted by an irresistible force.
Ren Di watched the so-called blue light that he had photographed with his bronze sword rapidly decaying, and the original blue flying blade-like thing quickly flew away under the side slap, but this thing that seemed to move fast and was like a clear light was actually not clear, there was a layer of things that were no more than five millimeters wide and five centimeters long, and the thickness was about 0.03 millimeters. How thin is this thickness, the thickness of the paper is 0.1 mm, which is about the thickness of a film on the inner wall of the bamboo. After the blue light of this shattered scum was shattered, the air currents caused by it dispersed and splashed rapidly, but Ren Di's keen eyesight still captured the remnants of this blue light shattering. The shattered debris flickered a few bits of light on contact with the air and then vanished. The process of these residues breaking up on the blue blade is basically impossible for normal human eyes to detect. Because the speed of this blue light blade is already very fast, it can only be seen that the inside is clear, and normal people can't see the thin pieces inside, and the scattered residue disintegrates faster, and due to the small amount, it disappears as quickly as a wisp of smoke in the wind.
After the faint flash disappeared, Ren Di saw the grit-sized residue on the left leaf, carefully removed the leaf, and touched the taste buds through this white residue.
"Phew" spat out. Ren Di said suspiciously: "Alkali? Magnesium oxide? Ren Di looked curiously at the silver-haired wolf that was being carried by himself. At this time, the wolf looked like a dog, with his eyes down on the half-mi, and his ears against his head, looking like a dog.
The surrounding wolves surrounded him from afar, looking at Ren Di with a look of fear in his eyes. The animal's fear of powerful life makes these wolves afraid to come forward.
