Chapter 650: The Demonic Calamity Returns
Xia He was a little proud when he suddenly received a message from Smith.
In the eastern seas, there is a demonic plague.
This demonic calamity is a real invasion of demonic creatures, with a huge fleet and an incalculable number. The sea area thousands of miles away in the east was originally a place where the storm was raging, and Xiahe's fleet did not dare to go. The current environment seems to be much better, and those demon fleets may not be very powerful, but they can already pass unimpeded.
Smith and the others are mining at the bottom of the sea, and now they are all robots, ghosts, gods, and Doom Iron Riders.
For the time being, they have not been discovered by the demon creatures, and they are all hiding underwater, so they can only endure it.
Xia He was a little uneasy, he was not afraid of any demon creatures, Rhode Island built a large number of buildings and built the Great Wall around the island, originally just to protect the railway. Now it's the best defense. Moreover, Rhode Island has a small population, most of the land is barren, there are few areas to be defended, and the troops are concentrated.
Rhode Island is a tough bone to gnaw, and Xia He himself is not willing to attack this kind of place.
However, the outbreak of the Demon Calamity means that before, everything on the Ice Maple Continent was just a means of the Demon Realm to attract your attention. And this time, the Demon Realm is afraid that it has invested a huge amount of troops, and so many people can enter the main world, who is dying?
The only thing that makes Xia He feel that it is possible is His Majesty the Emperor, he doesn't know what he's doing, and he hasn't shown up recently, he is a powerful mage, demigod level, maybe close to god level.
The destruction caused by such a person's death is quite terrible.
He also has control of the city of Juno, which is a terrible city, and Xia He doesn't want to go there once now.
This time the demon disaster was so huge, Xia He didn't even think about it, and ordered the fleet on the side of Red Sea City to retreat immediately. The attacking coalition forces also withdrew to the Empire.
Although the power of the coalition is already very strong, in the Half-Elf Empire, supplies are all at sea, and if the sea passage is cut off, the coalition will be in danger.
In addition to Red Sea City, the coalition forces have occupied many semi-elven lands and dozens of small towns. These results are impossible to say that they will be spit out. I don't know what the other nobles thought in their hearts, Xia He sent people over, purely for military training. Rhode Island has been replacing the army on the Red Sea City side.
But after the order was given, the news came back from the Red Sea City that the demon fleet was already approaching the coast, and there was no way to retreat back to Rhode Island. In the south, the demons are attacking faster.
Xia He could only order the army to defend on the spot, so he asked Freya: "How many troops should we devote to support Red Sea City?"
"Over there in Red Sea City, we only have three boats now, and the rest have gone to replace equipment, and the number of people is only in the early three thousands. More troops, all of them were of the eastern seaboard aristocracy. It seems unnecessary for our family to save it?"
Xia Hexin said that 3,000 people can be transported back to Rhode Island directly by airship. If you don't need to equip it, two airships will do the trick. Walking with equipment, there are 500 people in an airship, and there are still people with mounts.
"Freya, if we flee without a fight, our reputation will be ruined, and this is in the face of the invasion of the Demon Realm. Moreover, the power of the Demon Realm is not only aimed at us, the Half-Elf Empire is afraid that it will also suffer a blow. There weren't many people who really attacked Red Sea City. β
"Then what to do, you still said that you want to go to the southern seas and settle accounts with that Duke Dika. β
"Where are our fleets?"
"The main fleet of the starry sky is resting in Storm Point and Dragon Island, and now it is almost replaced, but you said that you want to temper the thunder, and it is not suitable to take it out directly. β
"Then send it over as planned, what about the home fleet?"
"There are seven main fleets in total, three resting, two at Cape Storm, one on Dragon Island, and one on the side of Sun City. β
"How did you make it?"
"The Star Fleet is twenty-four ships, and this hasn't changed. The main fleet of the mainland is eighteen ships, which can sail on the seas all year round, and they are all self-sustaining. Then there was the sub-fleet, twelve ships, the small fleet, six to seven ships. The flying warships and airships on the secondary fleet and the small fleet are all according to your meaning, and they do not need to fly to the extent that the whole world is located, and they are all centered on the mothership, and it is good to be able to fly thousands of miles. β
"What about the cost?"
"Of course it's very low, in fact, this is the most cost-effective, most of the time, the combat range of the flying battleship is around the area with the mother ship as the core, and the flight distance of thousands of miles is too far. β
"That was the original idea, and the reason I reduced the cost was because of the addition of robots. Flying warships can be made cheaper, without considering the feelings of the user, and the power they can withstand is much stronger than that of humans. And the flight distance of the battleship, you have to keep me within a radius of more than six thousand miles. β
"Got it, and I did it. β
"That's good, do we have more secondary fleets and smaller fleets?"
"Not much, there are only four secondary fleets, all of which have been retired from the previous capital ships, although they have been refitted, but they still can't satisfy me. There are many small fleets, which are usually used for training, and there is a gap between the combat effectiveness and the secondary fleet. β
"Where's the weaponry?"
"The main fleet has all been reequipped, and under the secondary fleet, there is no need, it is all tinkering. If you want to change clothes, it is better to build it again. β
"The muskets have been updated, right?"
"That's all updated. β
"Add the blueprints of the magic projectile, and let the alchemy factory immediately make the magic breaking bullet, the elemental holy light bullet, the order bullet, and the law concussion bullet. In addition, for important mages, add the Sun True Fire Bomb to attack powerful monsters. β
"It's expensive. Freya frowned.
"On the robot side, there are plasma bombs, and the killing effect on monsters is also good. However, it needs to be used by robots to be effective. We will build it first, and we won't be able to use it ourselves, and we will be able to kill the demon world in the future. β
"Daojun, do you want to listen to my opinion?" Freya said very seriously.
Say. β
"The demon disaster is terrible, but the person who worries the most is definitely not you. Our roots are all in Cape Storm, and what we are really worried about is the nobility of the empire, including the royal family. So we don't need to fight very well, if we have good results, the empire will have no support, and the demons will increase their efforts to attack us. β
"It seems to make sense, but weapons against demons must be manufactured. β
"It's good to make one, even if it's more complicated, it's cheaper than dividing it into many types like this. β
"It's me who is confused. Xia He suddenly woke up, he actually wanted to make four magic projectiles against the demons, if it was for a few people, it didn't matter, large-scale assembly of the army, then the cost would be high. It's better to design a more complex and effective magic projectile.
"Then you can do it, I'm going to Red Sea City to have a look. β
"Do you want to make a move?"
"No, unless there is a legend in the demon clan, I will watch from the sidelines. I'm going to see what the legends of the empire do. β
"Then be careful, if you don't have to, don't send Andesias, and don't use the mirror image or anything. β
"I know it's not the time to be in the limelight, I've had enough of fame. β
"Well, that's it, the Seventh Fleet doesn't move, guarding Rhode Island. Then I'll send a sub-fleet over and send some supplies to see if I can reach Red Sea City. The magic projectile thing, since the new magic guns are all installed, the design is also simple, I will draw it, and the adults will see it before leaving. β
"Good. Xia He was really on the side, watching Freya draw drawings.
In just half an hour, Freya finished her design. Because the musket is universal, but the level is different, and the projectile is unified. The projectile can refine various magical attributes, as long as it does not affect the attributes of the musket itself.
The projectile designed by Freya has two pointed ends, like a date pit.
The front end of the projectile is the most concise Blade of Order formation, which is easy to refine. Demons are chaotic creatures, and the Blade of Order works best at tearing through their defenses. On the blade of order, the effect of elemental light is attached, which is by the way, mainly to protect the magic pattern of the blade of order on the warhead.
The projectile is still a hollow structure, and it is not metal, but a honeycomb substance made of raw cinder, which can be made on a large scale, and a range of magic patterns are refined in it, simplifying the Asra Breaking Spell. With this magic pattern inside, if the user is a mage, the effect of Asla's spell breaking can be amplified.
Finally, there is the burst attribute, at the tail of the projectile, it is the law of Xia He's choice of shock.
The projectile looks complicated, but because the choice is a simple magic pattern, the cost is not high. The comprehensive attribute is higher than any kind of projectile proposed by Xia He.
The Duke's weapons can control the cost, and they also benefit from the fact that Xia He knows a lot of technology. His ability to make materials far exceeds that of the magicians of this world.
"Also, remember to print one-time runes against monsters. Xia He said to Freya.
The so-called printing, in fact, is also made by magic machinery, and the speed is just fast, not really printed, but also activated by a magician.
"Rest assured, in a month, all the people we need will be equipped. β
"A month......" Xia He had a headache.
"In three days, Soleil City will be able to produce its own, and a month later, I'll be sending weapons for high-level warriors and mages. β
Xia He shook his head and said, "I won't tell you, you should be careful here." β
He was in a hurry to go to Sun City, but he still brought some necessary supplies from Cape Storm, and this time he did not fly by himself, but transferred three flying battleships to act together.
Rhode island.
On the eastern coast of Rhode Island, CitΓ© Soleil is the core, and then there are no big cities.
To the north is a military port, which is more heavily defended than CitΓ© Soleil, and to the south, although it is a commercial port, there are also artillery batteries, and there are many fleets stationed there. And then the larger cities, just to the south, had Nietzsche stationed there.
There is no more, so the defense of Rhode Island is relatively easy, as long as the people are gathered into the big city.
