Chapter 1121: Weather (2)
The soldiers of the underworld are now wearing the equipment provided by the duke, but the equipment level is different, and the equipment itself, in addition to the combat function, comfort is also a level standard.
The main army of the dukedom has fully enclosed armor on its body, which can support half an hour even in the starry sky environment.
It's not that the soldiers in the underworld are poorly equipped, but the soldiers in the dukedom are over-equipped.
On the ice field, the soldiers of the dukedom, as long as they do not encounter extreme weather, do not need to turn on the formation adjustment on their bodies.
At night in the ice field, this season, it can reach more than minus 40 degrees.
The equipment of those soldiers in the underground world can resist this extreme cold, which is already quite an excellent product. But when the temperature really reaches minus sixty or seventy degrees, these equipment are not enough.
The cotton clothing in the armor, no matter how high the quality is, does not meet this standard.
And this temperature may be even lower.
On the ice field, when the cold wind blows, the dead are no longer in trouble. Heavy snow will cover everything, not to mention more than 20 days of snowfall, even at the end of the day, the trenches on the ground are flattened.
At this time, it was no longer possible to fight.
And there is also a problem, in an ordinary environment, hundreds of soldiers, threatening an epic can be done. But in the extreme environment, the powerhouses of the epic realm are less affected and still maintain their combat effectiveness, while the soldiers below the tenth level have a sharp decrease in combat effectiveness, which is not much different from ordinary people.
Ten or twenty levels, can still have a certain amount of combat effectiveness, the problem is that it is no longer possible to rely on numbers to threaten the strong above the epic.
Those who can still fight unscrupulously are the only ones left above the legend.
Without a blizzard, the Duke's army would still be able to fight, but with a blizzard, everyone would have to endure in bunkers.
However, the construction of bunkers will become a lot more troublesome.
"Let the computing center redesign the line of defense, using the existing structure. Li Anna was also helpless.
The robot is okay, it can probably run in temperatures of more than -100 degrees Celsius, but it will become brittle and its durability will be reduced a lot. The sturdiest is the magic build.
Therefore, the construction continued, and the original positions were connected by trenches, but now the trenches have to be deepened, layered, and covered above. The amount of work is several times larger, but it does not improve any combat ability, that is, it can fight against extreme environments.
On the ground part, the construction of the ice fortress began.
The internal area of the ice fortress is one hundred by one hundred meters, with two and a half floors above ground and three floors underground, and the closed trenches between the fortresses are connected.
There is nothing special about the structure, that is, in the multi-layer structure of the ice fortress, some magic arrays have been temporarily added. In addition, there is a surplus exit, which is set up at the top.
At the top of the ice fortress is a semi-open structure, which is half a story.
Fighting or something, I also thought about it, but when a snowstorm comes, the whole area will be buried by snow, and if you want to come out when the time comes, you must either dig a hole in the snow or rush out on the top floor, anyway, there is no good way.
Cavalry units are unusable, heavy infantry crawling in the snow?
There are many types of flying robots, but there are very few humanoid combat types. However, it is impossible for the enemy to attack in such weather, and it is only possible for a small force to sneak in.
The area covered by the blizzard is too large, and it can be thousands of miles laterally.
Such a thing is also quite rare in the ice field. The good thing is that the forces of the god of magic can't advance southward on a large scale, leaving more time for the dukedom.
I don't know when the wind blew, but it wasn't until it was dark that the snow fell. All the soldiers were huddled in their positions, hiding in the underground burrows one by one. Some are in the Ice Fortress, still trying to keep an eye on their surroundings.
In this environment, small flying robots can't go out, and large flying robots, all of which are combat models, can indeed fly, but they are too affected. Stumbling in the air, like drunkenness, simply retracting it all.
On the half-section of the magic tower, there is a void magic monument, and the entire position, with a radius of more than ten miles, forms a huge magic array. This magic array is not for combat purposes, in this area, the wind speed has been reduced, and the snow brought is not so much, and the amount accumulated on the ground is also less than that around.
Li Anna was in the half-cut magic tower, counting the supplies.
The army of the underground world still has 10,000 people, and a battalion of 6,000 people here, which is very large, and in fact, the hidden caves on the periphery are relatively sparse.
Before the storm fell, all the wounded had been evacuated, and now all those left behind were alive and well.
But these vigorous soldiers could only curl up underground, silently waiting for the weather to clear.
The height of the ice fortress is around eighteen meters, which is the height that has been studied by the calculation core and will not be covered by snow regardless of the surrounding terrain. The main vent of the Hidden Soldier Cave is connected to the nearby Ice Fortress. Then there is a spare vent, which can protrude from the ground, and is a tube with a miniature magic circle at the end.
This pipe is a rod of an aquatic plant, and after treatment, it cannot do anything, that is, when building a position bunker, it is specially used for ventilation.
A Tibetan cave, the area is not small, can accommodate dozens of people. But it's all a squad to guard it, because there are also combat robots.
At the edge, a squad hid underground. The top of the head has long been closed, and only the sides have exits.
The cave is oval-shaped, with two long and narrow ends, one end for handling excrement and the other end for storing grain. There are vents on it, one large and one small. The small ones are semi-enclosed, and the large ones are connected to the ice fortresses. If the big vent is destroyed, use a microrobot to open the small vent.
The beds of the five soldiers, not separated like in a normal camp. The captain's bed is the closest to the exit, a single-story structure, and the beds of the other four people are all bunk.
In the center of the earth, there is a magic circle that can be used to heat and heat food.
In the material warehouse, you can get ice, and drinking water can only be obtained here. In the heating position, a pot is placed, and the water in it is steaming. A half-blood ogre throws meat into the pot.
The origin of this meat is very clear, the corpses of the troops of the God of Magic that were killed before have been processed, and they were originally to be transported away to feed the monsters, but because of the approaching snowstorm, they were all stored and given to the underground world, some carnivorous warriors as rations.
The soldiers of the God of Magic, except for the same mess of intelligent beings in the underworld, deal with it this way.
In fact, this can be regarded as cannibalism, but when you don't treat him as a human being, there will be no psychological burden.
Advanced lifeforms just don't eat their own kind.
Li Anna can see this quite well, she has also eaten dragons, can it be said that dragons have no wisdom? Many dragons are also very knowledgeable, since dragons can eat, then, frost giants can't eat them?
The half-breed ogre finished the meat and began to sprinkle the spice.
As he dealt with it, he said to the captain, "This damn weather, you should go back to the ground!"
"What are you going back for, picking mushrooms?" the captain was an underground human, with fair skin, a little short, and thin arms. However, he has a lot of strength and is the heavy warrior of this team.
"It's not for me to say, captain, that you shouldn't have fought that duke. "A small dwarf road.
"Don't fight him, fight you? The army of the god of magic has been killed, if they hadn't killed him, Duke Asla's army would have come? How many years has the deal between Duke Asra and us been going on? On the isolated island of the underworld, there are their dungeons, but these people never go deep into the underworld, they just stay there. ”
Another half-blood human soldier said, "What the captain said makes sense, I have an aunt who is begging for a living on the isolated island. Duke Asra is on a lonely island and has a large laboratory. They don't have in-depth communication with the outside world at all, and the people who come out are purchasing. ”
"Damn the god of magic!" the gnome said as if singing an aria.
"yes, damn the god of magic. "The ogre took a handful of dried vegetables in a skin bag and threw it in the pot. The aroma begins to permeate. He slowly stirred the food with a spoon and said, "It's a pity that I'm an ogre, so I can't go to work in the Empire, otherwise, it would be much more comfortable to follow Duke Asra than to go underground." ”
"You can, I can't. The dwarf said with a bitter face: "I have low combat effectiveness, at most I have good marksmanship, but there is no shortage of musketeers." ”
The ogre smiled and said, "Of course I'm strong, and I can cast spells." ”
The captain said: "Fight well, save money, I heard that Duke Asra occupies many worlds, some worlds, you can go even if you are not humans." As long as you join the duke's team, you will be a man after you go. ”
The dwarf said, "However, the war kills people, and this time we have died a lot." ”
"What's the solution, we have little training, I'll tell you, I have news, the Duke may open a school in the underground world in the future. ”
"School!"
"That's right, it's mainly Mithril City. If you have a school, you will also run a library, fight a war for the duke, and in addition to getting money, you can also get digital rewards and the like, probably a meritorious service?"
"Merit points. "Another human said.
"Yes, merit points, this can be cumulative. With merit points, you can read your favorite books and learn knowledge. ”
"What if you can't read a book?"
"Pay someone to explain. This is cheaper than going to school, even if the learning is limited, but we can afford it. ”
"How many years will it take......
"It's only taken how long it took Mithril City to be built. On the human side of the world, construction is very fast. We have won a lot of awards this time, and my own can probably be used in exchange for the qualification to study in school. "The captain is very proud.
He fought bravely, killing more than a dozen elite enemies.
Everyone was envious, but there was nothing to be jealous of, this was a feat that was obtained at the risk of one's life. A squad of ten people, five killed in battle, those five people, no longer a chance. Fortunately, there are also gold coin pensions, otherwise their family would have been miserable.
