Chapter 720: Vassal
"It's very simple, if a person lives without dignity in normal times, how can you expect him to become a warrior when he needs to? "The Taoist priest of war does not forget to spread the idea of Xia He.
"The fairness of the meritorious service system is the cornerstone, everyone has room to rise, and they naturally live with hope, hope, and struggle. If you work no matter what, you are slaves, you say, how will those ordinary people feel? When the demons come, how do they choose?"
Epic mage Thiago thought it was true, his background was a wild mage, and if the Duke hadn't given him a chance, he would have been a great mage at most in his life.
And now, having become an epic mage, it is more likely to advance to the legend.
Even if it is impossible to further become a demigod, the legendary mage of the main world will have a lifespan of no less than three thousand years. Three thousand years can give him more opportunities to explore the world of magic, what a pleasant thing!
Most magicians seek power so that it can protect themselves and have the power to explore the mysteries of magic.
It's the same as the Taoist priests, there are only a few violent mages who like to fight.
In the territory of Xia He, all mages have to explore the mysteries of battle, and be able to implement it themselves, and then according to their own experience, create various combat magic and combat equipment. These occupy forty percent of the mage's research time, and the rest of the exploration is purely academic and private.
Thiago, for example, has been doing his personal hobby, cultivating insects and extracting nectar with magical properties.
The nectar extracted from the insects he cultivated can be directly used as a magic potion, and the taste is also a must. He also relied on this ability, and he was about to pay off the duke's arrears. If he has enough time, he will accumulate the resources needed to advance to the Legends, which will require him to refine better nectar.
This kind of nectar sells very well in the City of Stars, and the Imperial Mages like it very much.
Although the duke also had the recipe, he did not compete with him for benefits, but only charged the operating fee, and now he is the only one in the duke who brews this nectar.
Of course, the duke controls the market and makes more money, but if the duke wants to, he can do it himself and get rid of him as a magician.
Thiago is very satisfied, he has no connections, no funds, and he is very content to earn this most fundamental piece.
The price of his nectar, which he received, was already five times the cost.
The Duke's alchemy laboratory, which was open to him at a low price, saved a lot of money than building one himself.
The Duke had given him so many opportunities that he felt more pleasant than living anywhere else. He wants to maintain the duke's system, because if he is somewhere else, at most, he sells recipes, sells techniques for cultivating insects, and makes a fortune, then nothing will matter to him.
If the dukedom ceased to exist, he felt that the whole world would no longer be fair.
Even if he was an epic mage, he would feel like he was living a good life.
Outside the castle, those demon vassals who were rolling all over the ground were living in a state of limbo before, and now they were going to die in shame.
Even the mechanical structures are no longer attacking, and the mech soldiers are still slowly replenishing their guns. Of the more than 400 demon vassals, only about 70 were still alive, twitching on the ground and seriously injured.
"Send the fire-breathing robots out to clean up the battlefield and recycle the metal. Thiago gave the order, but the alarm was not lifted, and in the sky, hundreds of small flying machines flew east to check for new dangers.
Ordinary flamethrowers can only shoot a few times, and the robots that specialize in cleaning the demon battlefield, the flamethrower is connected to a huge metal box, and it can shoot for a long time when it is carried behind it.
The soldiers at the head of the city watched the robots go out of the castle and go to the battlefield to burn the corpses of the demons, and some soldiers sighed in a low voice: "I really like robots, we used to do this ourselves." ”
"yes, but why don't we cancel these in our training?"
"You're stupid, the robots will run out of power. If there is no electricity, don't we want loot? Many of the rewards on the battlefield come from here, and if you don't clean the battlefield, you will earn a lot less. ”
The miniature flying machine, with a flight speed of only one hundred and sixty miles per hour.
However, in the entire castle, there are only two six-pointed star airships, one is responsible for fighting, and the other is for maintenance and takes turns. The reconnaissance mission is carried out by miniature flying machines. The cost is low, the quantity is large, you can not care about the loss, as long as it can be recycled.
Two hours later, the alarm was not lifted, and the miniature flying machine saw that in the eastern region, a large number of demons were gathered, and almost all of them were advancing. Because of the terrain, although this six-pointed star castle is also within the attack range, the number of demons is obviously not so much, and there are more demons gathering in the north and south.
And this time, in the sky, there was a large flying equipment, more than a mile in diameter, which should be a flying weapon developed by the demons, which can be dropped by the infantry of the demons.
The demons originally had some insect existence, which could drill into the ground, plus the flying demons in the air, and then the infantry that could be airdropped, it seemed that it was going to be a general attack, but why was there no warning before?
In the castle above the iron mine, Qiu Xuanji is nervously assembling a weapon.
On the magic tower at the core of the castle, this weapon looks like a short and thick magic cannon, and the magic array linked below goes directly into the earth, driven by the formation of the entire castle, which is a powerful legendary weapon.
The rest of the legends are all helping on the side, and when they heard that the demons were going to attack in a big way, Qiu Xuanji didn't stop.
The crucial blueprint was only completed today, and it would take legendary power to refine it on the magic array.
This is an elemental cannon with an extremely high attack frequency, and it can also charge energy to attack and kill legendary demons. The previous weapons just couldn't achieve the effect of the elemental cannon.
If it succeeds this time, it can be promoted and become the main weapon against the demons.
This thing can't be compared with urban weapons, it can't be promoted, what level is made of it, and what level it will be in the future. Daily attrition, also higher than urban weapons. But the obvious advantage is the frequency of attacks. The emitted elemental rays, even if they can't kill the powerful demons, can still cause a lingering effect on the demons.
And the locking ability is super strong, as long as it is locked, this attack speed, unless the enemy predicts it, it can't be dodged.
After the elemental cannon was completely fused with the base, Qiu Xuanji said: "The rest of the things, you do it, I want it to be completely completed before dark, the demon clan has come, I don't know when it will advance here, but we can't count on the empire, and we can't count on the temple." ”
"Yes. The three aristocratic legends answered honestly. Autumn Xuanji is usually mild, but at this time, there is a kind of cold coldness. Even Groniz, the strongest of them, had a hint of fear in his soul.
Qiu Xuanji turned around and got out of the turret of the magic tower, returned to the middle of the elemental pool, and contacted Xia He.
In the spell projection, Xia He's appearance appeared, he looked at Qiu Xuanji and asked, "What's wrong, something big happened?"
"The demons may be going to attack. ”
"I know, it should still be a tentative attack, the demons have opened a lot of world channels during this time, and sent other world vassal troops. Of course, it's also very troublesome, you don't want to fight in the field, just defend the castle. ”
"Then do I need to support Her Royal Highness?"
"No, the princess's side has increased her troops to 30,000, and the emperor has allocated a large number of robots to her. ”
"The demons have flying battleships, and the smallest diameter is also a mile. ”
"It doesn't matter, they are all weapons within the Nine Heavens Gang Qi, and the magic ballista can deal with it. Moreover, if you can't reach the legendary level, you don't dare to fly above the castle, which is to die. ”
"It's going to cut us off from the camp so easily. ”
"Don't worry, when necessary, open the half-plane passage, and I will bring people over directly. Xia He comforted Qiu Xuanji. He knew that Qiu Xuanji was worried about the more than 9,000 people under his command, and as for Qiu Xuanji himself, a Yang Shen Daoist, as long as the demon clan did not have a strong person above level sixty, he could easily deal with it. As long as he doesn't have a demigod, he can escape.
The demons launched a vassal world to attack, which is a very troublesome thing, which means that the demons feel that the main world is difficult to defeat, and they have to carry out real crowd tactics.
Xia He's biggest headache is the crowd tactics, because when the top forces can't intervene, the crowd tactics are the most effective means.
The tactics of crowds are not more than people, but in local battlefields, let yourself form superior forces, and superior forces naturally include firepower. Even if your enemies are archers, if you instantly throw more feathered arrows than your musket, you will fail.
Luckily, this is the Overworld, and you can make mechwarriors.
Ordinary robot warriors, the strength is more than a level of professionals, but they don't know skills, without the help of scientific and technological weapons, mechanical warriors can't beat the lowest level of professionals, as long as a skill goes down, this mechanical warrior will fail.
However, when dealing with the demons, the professionals of the demons are reflected in their strength and genetic abilities.
The computing core of the cyborg is not yet affected by the ability to attack souls. So this kind of low-level robot is a good thing to deal with low-level demons.
"Lord Duke, I've got your stuff teleported, highest priority. "At this time, a guard mage came to report.
"What is it?"
"The magic box is sealed, and it can't be opened, so I can only ask you to go over in person. ”
"Okay. Xia He put down the things in his hand and came to the teleportation array, and saw a purple-gold demon sealing box, on the edge of the teleportation array, several mages around him were helpless, not that they couldn't open it, and they couldn't move.
Xia He glanced down, and on the top floor of the Demon Sealing Box, there was a divine pattern, coiled up, drawn into the shape of a spider.
