Volume 7 The Ferryman of the River Styx Chapter 52 Something New
The war between Isaac and Verne continued, Verne began to become more and more unable to bear this fruitless battle, Isaac was always ambushing in every weak spot, the coalition shelf was too large, and once the situation happened, many times it was only up to some local commanders to judge themselves. However, the result of many years of no war inevitably led to a lack of combat experience in the army, coupled with the fact that Verne had just completed a purge from top to bottom, and the emperor had just recovered all military power from the Aronachos family, much of the command and coordination work was not in place.
Contrary to Verne's situation, Hugo was not attacked from the beginning of his entry into the country, Isaac always wandered around the periphery of Verne, but did not have any friction with Hugo, even if Hugo's army took the initiative to rush forward, Isaac would bypass their route, they only looked for Verne's army to fight.
The Emperor Verne was very disturbed by this situation, and he did not know where the uneasiness came from, but he knew that the result would certainly not be of Verne's favor. The Emperor of Verne even thought that Hugo had signed some agreement with Isaac?
This was not the first time that the Emperor of Verne had doubted Hugo, the last time he had just signed his name to an agreement.
At this time, he felt more and more that his suspicions were correct.
No, that can't be, the Emperor Verne has always warned himself. Hugo and Isaac have a bitter hatred, and they will never go together.
However, the seeds of doubt had already sprouted in his mind.
Not only the Emperor of Verne, but even the Emperor Hugo were extremely tired of this meaningless battle. The army was dragged into an endless swamp, Isaac never engaged them, irritability and disgust slowly grew among Hugo's ranks, and some soldiers began to ask their commanders when they would be able to return home. This time, Emperor Hugo took effective measures to vigorously supervise the army, and even if there were some small rumors, they did not spread. But everyone knows that this is not the way to go, and Isaac is pushing them into the abyss.
So, Valjean took decisive measures to try to withdraw from Verne, and then drove straight into the Three Kingdoms from the Gray Dragon River, but this time, the Three Kingdoms did not make promises to Hugo as usual, and they told Hugo that they would never allow any Hugo soldiers to enter the country. But Hugo did not appreciate it, they still let the large army march towards the Three Kingdoms, at this time, Tolkien suddenly announced that at the request of the emperor of the Three Kingdoms, he was about to mobilize the same number of millions of troops as Hugo's army in the country and go to the border of the Three Kingdoms, if Hugo dared to fight the Three Kingdoms, then Tolkien's iron hooves would immediately crush all these mages to death.
Valjean did not give in this time, but scoffed at Tolkien's threats very stiffly, in his opinion, no matter how fast Tolkien was, by the time their army rushed over, Hugo's troops would have already crossed the Grey Dragon River and rushed to Isaac's territory.
However, Isaac suddenly announced at this time that Isaac would mobilize all of Isaac's warships to blockade the Gray Dragon River, including the three heavy battleships that use Isaac's latest equipment navy!
No one knew where these three battleships came from, but when these super-large battleships followed the aircraft carrier on the Gray Dragon River, when those thick barrels were aimed at the shore, no one believed that their heads could be harder than shells!
Once Hugo's army can't cross the Gray Dragon River quickly, then once Tolkien is surrounded from behind, the same army of one million will definitely be eaten by Hugo!
A few days after the mobilization of the army began, the whole mobilization process was thus over, and all the soldiers were standing still and waiting for further arrangements. And the Hugo soldiers, who played like monkeys, were all bitter.
Even though they are warriors, they are also magicians. The training was hard, but they certainly spent more time communicating with the elements than the average soldier, who was purely exercising. Moreover, the profession of magician is very spiritual, and some soldiers began to lose their spirits, unable to calm down, and were irritable and unstable.
However, after cutting off the heads of several people, the irritable mood was immediately suppressed, and a kind of panic ensued.
The Hugo people are proud, they are confident that they are invincible, but when they decline again, after three exhaustions, they find that they can't touch anyone at all, there is no place to vent their inexplicable anger, and the officers still adopt an iron-blooded policy, so the military spirit that has always been stable finally begins to waver.
None of that was something the Isaac soldiers should be worried about, though. Led by some veteran officers, all the new Isaac warriors needed to do was to train themselves on the real battlefield, and this kind of opportunity was not often available, and once it was missed, it was gone. Many warriors also associated this opportunity with a lord who was said to be seriously wounded. In their opinion, that man is the pride of their Lingnan County, and now that he was secretly attacked and seriously injured, he is also a man from Lingnan County, so he naturally wants to avenge him.
The Lion Grand Duke naturally liked this result, and in his opinion, these recruits had much sharper eyes than before.
Every war is a test of the country, and Isaac is obviously not better than other countries in terms of the country's system, but Isaac wants food and food, popularity, and talent, and almost nothing is lacking, and what he lacks is only experience.
Such a great opportunity, how can you miss it.
What's more, where is this going? It is still very early for his son-in-law to set the time, and his own actions must at least wait until this year's grain is ripe, right?
Just when the war between Isaac and Verne was in full swing, the annual exhibition of military equipment in Middle-earth, the capital of the Tolkien Empire, opened again as scheduled. Not only did they come, but they also brought a lot of new gadgets. The first is the battleship, some new battleships are on display, the design and function of the battleship are further subdivided, and each type of battleship will have the best role.
Then there's Isaac's highlight of the year, the new Crystal Cannon.
The new Crystal Cannon has changed the previous Crystal Cannon from being able to use expensive and excellent Crystal Shells, and the new Crystal Cannon uses scrapped Crystal Crystals, or Crystal Crystals in poor condition, and this new Crystal Burning Cannon has the power of the original Crystal Cannon, but the cost is almost reduced to one-fifth of the original. The new cannon immediately attracted the attention of the countries of the world, and representatives of many countries consulted Isaac in detail. During the exhibition, the new crystal cannon was test-fired more than 50 times, fully proving its power.
That's right, this new Crystal Burning Cannon is a defective product made by Lovier when he was developing the new cannon, and even so, the effect is still admired by many countries. In many cases, it is not about how modern the weapons are, but how many of them are. Something like a crystal burning cannon, once it forms a coverage advantage in terms of quantity, the effect naturally goes without saying.
Immediately, many countries expressed their intention to buy, and Hugo, the original major exporter of crystal-burning cannons, expressed a very cold reaction to this.
They're no longer surprised.
Isaac's approach was simple, he wanted to squeeze everything Hugo could make out of the international market, so that no one would buy their stuff anymore.
But Hugo still doubts that Isaac can make such a crystal-burning cannon, after all, the crystal-burning cannon is only a matter of the past few decades, and the first crystal-burning cannon was invented by one of Hugo's vice presidents. Hugo knew that it was easy to increase the power of the Crystal Cannon if it faded out, but it was difficult to reduce the firing cost of the Crystal Cannon. They were desperate to find out how Isaac did it.
Moreover, some countries have also noticed that the new crystal cannon is for export, and the price is more expensive than Hugo's crystal cannon, but thanks to the reduction of the launch cost, the expensive part of the cost can easily disappear into the launch cost. But since Isaac exported this cannon, according to Isaac's export conventions, did they have anything new that was an order of magnitude more advanced than this cannon?
Although some countries are interested in the new Crystal Cannon and are interested in buying it, they are still skeptical about this novelty and want to get accurate figures.
So, soon on the battlefield of Verne, Verne soldiers began to become test subjects. According to some sources, in just two weeks, Isaac's assault team fired at least 2,000 shells at the battlefield of Verne, causing tens of thousands of casualties. Many people did not understand to death how the Isaac guerrillas, who had been lightly armed, carried such heavy artillery with them. Verne also wanted to bombard the opposing partisans with the Crystal Cannon at first, but it was because it was too heavy that they needed the Mountain Giants' troops to divert them. The Isaac guerrillas, on the other hand, never came close to the mountain giants or the puppets. They only attack human forces.
Hugo is now in the midst of a semi-withdrawal of troops, Verne seems to be caught in his own war, and Hugo is only a bystander.
