Chapter 535: The Truth
Didn't you say that the flying battleship had attacked them before? Why is this happening?
He didn't know that when the flying battleship attacked in order to save money, it was not this kind of combat magic projectile that was lost, but a more primitive, air-dropped weapon of the early magic airship.
There is a magician on the other side, and there is still some way to deal with this kind of throwing weapon with slow attack speed.
And the magic projectile made by Xia He flew too fast, and the magician was suppressed by the magic musket, and watched the army be blown to pieces, and after the two waves of attacks passed, Xia He's mission was completed.
"The battleship stops attacking!" Qiu Xuanji hurriedly gave the order.
Didn't you say okay, this projectile has a small attack range. However, it seems to be much smaller than the Elemental Sphere, if it is covered by the Elemental Sphere......
No, if you have an elemental orb, the attack core will die, but the lethality of the periphery will decrease dramatically. And this metal jet is too lethal to ordinary soldiers, and its range exceeds that of a magic cannon that fires elemental balls.
If it's you, you should be able to deal with four at a time and let this thing disintegrate in the air. But if hundreds of warships launch this thing down, no one can protect them.
Qiu Xuanji quickly made a battlefield assessment, and at the same time ordered the knights to be constructed, with a team of fifty people, to clean up the remnants of the opponent's defeated army.
Not everyone was on the run, and there was a team of knights, about one hundred and eighty men, rushing up against the knights. Among the fifty knights in the first fifty, there are five battle mages. Before the enemy could get closer, the five battlemages threw a series of fireballs.
Xia He was also monitoring the battlefield, and when he saw this scene, he was still thinking in his mind: This must be a strategy used by the nobles of the Northland to confuse themselves and make them think that they are all weak, it must be so!
However, the reality is so cruel, the knights of one hundred and eighty people were hit head-on by a series of fireballs from five magicians, plus the magic musket strafing, more than thirty were directly blown away, and more than twenty were killed by muskets.
The results were not too great, because the armor of these knights was not bad.
Five hundred knights in costume scattered through the muddy wilderness and rushed forward. Magic muskets are named one by one, and an average of three shots can shoot down one. The knight's spear was not taken out, and there was no resistance. The mage escapes and is shot in the back by the Knight in Disguise.
The wilderness was full of soldiers fleeing in all directions, and the knights in costume had no idea of charging.
Usually adults let everyone fight and train, but it's not like this at all.
Everyone has also been to the Red Sea City to observe the battle, but it is an urban offensive and defensive battle, which is different from the field battle. Field battles can be close to hand-to-hand combat against long-range attacks, but this team of more than 2,600 people, equipped with more than 60 magicians and more than 20 chariots, was scattered by two waves of flying warship attacks.
No scouts, no flying MONOCULUS, no flying golems.
This team is like a dead party.
"Your Excellency said, don't take prisoners!" said a knight chieftain. In the wilderness, the sound of magic muskets intensified again.
The knights are alert that these are enemies and cannot be pitied. There are more than 100,000 adults facing it.
The battle was soon over, and Qiu Xuanji collected his mood and ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up.
To clean up the battlefield, one is to record the exploits, and the other is to collect loot and recover some sensitive weapons. However, the magic projectile is completely blown up, and there is no need to worry about any secrets leaking inside, just habitually see if there is any residue of no explosion.
In the end, the corpses of these people had to be collected, all burned with magical flames, buried, and monuments erected.
This is the rule set by Xia He, if the battle is over, you can rest on the spot, you have to do these things. If it is necessary to leave immediately, and if there are enough people, a small number of people should also be left behind to dispose of the corpses.
One earthen monument after another was erected, and the magician turned mud into stone.
Enemy soldiers, if they are more formal, will have something to identify themselves, such as a brand-name ribbon. The name is simply recorded on the earthen tablet, and each one is left behind.
The Marquis of Xia's mansion was established. At the end of this line, there is a simple bird-shaped pattern, representing the fire flying crow on the coat of arms of the Marquis's Palace.
More than 2,000 stone monuments, if they were not made with magic, I don't know when they would have been made. However, Xia He insisted, and the people below did the same. Subtly, everyone formed rules, the special rules of the Marquis' Mansion.
Behavioral recognition eventually becomes cultural recognition.
In fact, cleaning the battlefield is not just a waste of time, there are a lot of materials that can be recovered, and the mage dismantles the enemy's armor on the spot to obtain high-grade metals, and the total value is not low. There are also all kinds of weapons and equipment, and magicians' belongings, which are all big heads.
The tank was blown up, and the supplies on it were basically useless.
However, with more than 2,600 sets of equipment and more than 60 magicians' belongings, this battle is still very profitable. Qiu Xuanji contacted Xia He, and Xia He asked him to collect the loot on the spot and go back slowly without worrying.
Qiu Xuanji gathered more than 500 mounts on the spot, all of which were reindeer.
The Constructed Knight's marksmanship was much more accurate than the other soldiers, and most of his mounts were killed. Some fled in panic, and those present did not bother to chase.
Reindeer are not expensive, and they are raised by humans, and they usually walk back on their own to look for humans.
The loot is easy to collect, and the knights are constructed, and in the power sequence of Xia He, they are already considered to be above average, and everyone has a badge and has its own space. The important loot was collected in the space, and the rest was carried by the reindeer, and Qiu Xuanji was inexplicable and rushed back with the team.
Medirri's side, the end was slow, Medirri didn't call for the flying battleship to attack, but let the Constructed Knight act as a sniper and shoot slowly at a distance.
However, there is no suspense in the battle, the enemy on the left flank is not as strong as Qiu Xuanji's side, and the equipment is much worse. The magic projectile is basically a one-shot defense, and there are less than ten magicians.
I really don't know what the aristocratic coalition thinks, even if it is divided into troops, it is still divided into such a weak one.
Xia He really didn't understand what kind of strategy the aristocratic coalition was using, so he contacted Freya. Freya listened to Xia He's words, she couldn't laugh, she said to Xia He: "My Dao Monarch, the truth of this matter is ......"
"What is it?"
"They're a bunch of weak chickens!"
"Huh?"
"For so many years, the empire seems to let the Northlands be autonomous, but in fact weakens them and does not give them room to fight. The various obligations of the empire, they do not exhaust it, and these soldiers, in my opinion, are enough elite. If it were you, if there were no enemies, no pressure, what would you be able to train your soldiers to look like in peacetime?"
"But ......"
"Your Majesty the Emperor, don't give them a chance to train. Their real elite, that is, some of the people in the hands of the three dukes, may have gone to the other world to fight, and the rest are nothing more than that. ”
"These nobles, murdering their soldiers!"
Xia He regretted it, he gave the order to kill. The enemy is such a weak chicken, he should leave a way to live.
"My lord, are you disappointed that you tossed so much and got this result?"
"No, there are four more guys that deserve to be taken seriously. ”
"Do you want me to go?"
"No, I can handle it myself. ”
"Well, the intelligence shows that they are all legendary mages who are less than level fifty. Andesias, plus you, can indeed handle it. But I ran two last time. ”
"No, Freya, since you know that the other party is so weak, why did you send more than 10,000 steel spiders?"
"My lord, if you use 10,000 elite soldiers, you will kill more than 100,000 people of the eighteen allied forces, what will others think?
"I want to be powerful, why show weakness?"
"My lord, if you can kill them, it's enough to establish the standard of prestige, and how to kill them is a science. I'll say one more thing, the southern nobles are all connected with the Academy of Magic, their soldiers will have the opportunity to go to the other world to fight, each family has a real elite, fight the nobles of the Northland, one is not a problem to deal with five, but it is very stressful to fight ten. Adults, you have to make them feel ......."
"I see. Xia He was depressed, he thought that the other party was hiding some means, and he had been making trouble for a long time, but he was stupid and weak. No wonder the emperor let them go.
Fortunately, he didn't gather 100,000 people to come over, otherwise it would have become a joke in everyone's eyes, and how could he stand up.
More than 10,000 people, just right.
The southern nobles will feel that they can easily take down the northern nobles by relying on the advantages of equipment, and it is okay to replace them. It's just that in terms of troops, it may take more than 30,000 people, or even 50,000 to be safe. There is a psychological hint in this that Xia He is now short of elite soldiers, so he has to rely on puppets to fight.
However, the four legends are real strength.
If you can kill one of yourself, you will be famous all over the world. If you kill two, those who want to deal with you will have to be more cautious, and it will be difficult to get allies to deal with you again.
His performance is quite crazy, and he will take revenge on blood at every turn, with more than a dozen at once.
I just don't know if those four legends really dare to do it directly to themselves. Even if he took the initiative to start the blood revenge, he was the dean of the Tenth Magic Academy after all.
They are legends, and there will definitely be people who participate in them and play on the topic.
If they die in battle, there are many people who want to kill them justifiably. At least the Metatrin family, they will definitely pounce on it and take a bite.
Metatrin ......
If he doesn't rely on anyone this time and wins, Metatrin will give him more support. If you die, then everything is not tied.
Xia He figured it out, and took out the four pieces of letter paper that Jennifer had left for herself.
In addition to the first one, what secrets do the other three contain? Do you have to use the first one yourself to reveal it?
I see that I am about to advance, and after I advance, this scroll will have little meaning to me.
Rather, it's now......
