Chapter 889: The Beginning of the War of the Ten Thousand Worlds (1)
"I can build an airship. "Princess Angelina doesn't want to buy this kind of equipment that is everywhere on the continent.
"Your Highness, our new airship, large, can carry 2,000 heavy troops at a time, medium can carry 500 people, and small can carry 50 people. Moreover, the speed of flight, close to the speed of sound. ”
"So much!"
"Absolutely no false figures, two thousand, but not counting the mechs. A new pod that can carry more robots. A battalion of 6,000 people, three airships can be transported, including wooden horses and chariots, and magical constructions. Words from the Cyborg Warrior...... About nine large airships can pack all the robots of a battalion. ”
"In other words, twelve large airships can transport all the personnel and equipment of a battalion at a speed of 1,800 miles per hour?"
"That's it, Your Highness, in your flight camp, prepare some large airships, and you can quickly deploy them with ground troops. ”
"How much?"
"The large airship, plus the gondola, is only 150,000 gold coins. "The offer given by Cotton Jack this time is really cheap.
Princess Angelina felt the sincerity, so she said, "Okay, I'll order ninety-six." ”
"Only the big ones?"
"Ninety-six medium-sized ones and double the number of small ones. By the way, these are all weapons?"
"They all have weapons, but they don't have magic ammo. ”
These flying battleships and airships in Xiahe have always been inexpensive to manufacture, but their energy consumption and weapon consumption are considerable.
As for the energy problem, Princess Angelina doesn't have to worry about it for the time being, at least the magic rough ore in the underground world is still being mined. His Majesty's share belongs to the Emperor, and now it belongs to her. There are more coal mines controlled by the royal family, and countless raw coal crystals have been piled up, which is the most stable and cheap energy source.
"Your Highness, please do me a favor. ”
"Huh?"
"On the side of Musis, help me sell it, I don't want the price to be too expensive for him, just a little higher than the princess's side. ”
Angelina pondered for a moment and understood.
Jack sells weapons because the New World is in chaos right now, and he has to think about his allies. In the past, these weapons could only be produced in small quantities and at a very high price. Now, for the sake of the overall situation, there is no way for the dukedom to take it out and sell it.
She guessed correctly, Xia He didn't want his main weapons to be sold, but he had to let Angelina and Musis be safe.
In the whole empire, there are not many allies.
Fortunately, his old nest is Rhode Island, although it is not far from the mainland, but if you want to attack, you have to build a fleet. The Merriffin family was bombed once, and it hasn't recovered yet.
"I'll tell you, this, it's not a resale, right?"
"No, just keep the princess of the difference. "Cotton Jack is sweet and authentic.
Princess Angelina knew that it was small money and was still very happy. She said to Cotton Jack: "Then you hurry up, the war in the New World will be very long, I ......"
She didn't know what to say well, the world, something serious had happened.
Not only the New World, but also on the Ice Maple Continent before, there were also a lot of troubles, such as the undead and the underworld. It's just strangled in the cradle.
On the New World, the empire is not so powerful.
After the sale of Cotton Jack, the alchemy factory of Babel began to produce at full capacity. The outbreak of the Ten Thousand Realms Passage was late, and the dukedom had completed the preliminary layout in the New World, with enough production materials accumulated, large cities and the Great Wall built.
Even if the Otherworld invades, it is unlikely to have much impact on the power of the dukedom.
The production of the dukedom should continue to be produced, and it is difficult to increase the number of soldiers, but there is no upper limit to the number of mecha warriors. This thing is produced from the assembly line, and it has the attack power of professionals, and it can be said to be the most reliable basic force.
The legendary powerhouse can indeed take down a large piece with one skill, but when the number reaches a certain level, it is not a joke that the ants bite the elephant to death. The power of the legend is not endless, the legend of the main world is more powerful, and the legend of some small worlds has very few times to release the legendary skill.
Monster Forest......
The noble legions increased their strength, and built a temporary fortress group in the center of the rift, and if they wanted to carry out large-scale construction, they had to close all the nearby world passages first, or block them.
All patrol teams are now on the scale of two squadrons, and one squadron is too manpowered.
The number of weapons issued on it has also increased, not to mention magic projectiles, scrolls for magic net mages, high-level muskets for heavily armed warriors, and some powerful equipment such as flame bottles, and scroll sequence launchers and the like.
On both sides of the crack, the nobles built improvised fortifications.
Inside the improvised fortifications, there is a hidden magic circle that can be triggered if it is occupied by an enemy.
These improvised fortifications are for patrol soldiers, and if they encounter a strong enemy, if there are fortifications, the army armed with magic muskets can hold out for a long time.
At nightfall, in the eastern part of the Demon Worm Forest, such a battle broke out.
Two squadrons of patrolling soldiers, and an elven army encounter. The number of elven armies was more than all the previous encounters, reaching the scale of three thousand. And this time there are magicians, there are cavalry.
However, the current noble legion and patrol army are all equipped with Trojan horses, which are the same as the main legions of Xiahe.
The nobles have figured out that the soldiers are the most important thing.
This patrol team also brought a light combat vehicle. Due to the influence of space, the detection of the aircraft often has problems, and the vehicle itself also has the ability to detect, and this time it is the enemy that the vehicle discovers.
A thousand meters away, before the elven army could spot the patrol team, the patrol team activated the aircraft above and forcibly expanded the signal.
The gunners on the chariot took aim and aim, and blasted out, beating the most fancy-looking mage of the Elven Medium to shreds.
The vehicle did not carry any flowering shells at all, all armor-piercing shells that could destroy medium equipment.
It's the pursuit of single-shot power, ultra-small range damage, and if you encounter a giant beast or something, you won't be helpless.
The elven mage was bombarded, and two other mages were affected around him, and shrenchnel severed the arm of another elven mage, as well as the thigh of a mage.
The squadron leader in charge of the command had already opened the map and said: "Southwest, at an angle of twenty degrees, there are temporary fortifications, we retreat to defend, and the chariot immediately calls for support!"
Rumble!
The chariot fired another shot, and while the elves were still confused, they killed another very fancy guy. The elven archers drew their feathered arrows and watched in the direction from which the attack had been issued.
The human patrol was already retreating, with only two squads of robots with them, accompanying the chariots behind them.
In Yamaguchi Castle, the magician on duty got a distress signal and immediately reported it.
"Three thousand?" said Nietzsche II, who heard this information, was a little moved. In many worlds, the scale of 3,000 people is the main force.
In fact, the dukedom's side is also the main unit based on 6,000 people.
A battalion is the standard size for a small war.
"The goods from the princess's side haven't been sent yet, so let the two fire arrows and twenty-four floating fish come to support immediately. ”
The people under his command didn't dare to refute that these goods were originally for the people of Yamaguchi Castle to practice, and they were called tests. But if you take it to actual combat, you will be a little sorry for Her Royal Highness the Princess, which is second-hand.
"My lord, do you want to send ground troops over?"
"Of course, I want to think about it......" Nietzsche II calculated the troop layout on this side of Yamaguchi Castle in his mind, and felt that the people of the noble legion, if they wanted to deal with these three thousand elves, they would almost have to send two battalions.
That's 10,000 people.
A battalion of the noble legion has only five thousand people, which is one thousand less than the main army of Xia He.
It's not that the combat effectiveness of the noble legion is not good, but since it is playing on its own home turf, it is necessary to minimize the losses. Even if only 1,000 people can solve the problem, 10,000 people have to be sent.
"Send out two battalions of the Ninth Legion, and then let the hoplites of our first battalion pass...... Four squadrons will do. Send two more squadrons of tanks, and in five minutes you will be on your way. ”
"Yes. "The people below, go and arrange it immediately.
Nietzsche II was very young, but he still suppressed the urge to go in person, and he had two legendary mages from the middle military camp called in and told them to follow the heavily armed knights, and if it was not necessary, they did not need to do anything.
The two legendary mages received orders, and at the same time, on Nietzsche II's side, received additional temporary equipment and carried them with them in case of accidents.
In the Xiahe Army, this system has taken shape.
Legendary mages each have their own weapons, but the common equipment is constantly replenished, making each legion stronger and stronger. The equipment is not for someone, but for special tasks.
Because of the Xia River, the highest warning is made, and when all epics and legends are dispatched, no one is allowed.
Moreover, you must carry equipment to protect against the Void Demons.
The elven team moved quickly, and the cavalry rushed forward at high speed in the darkness of the night, floating on horseback. Then five were blown away by a single bombardment of combat vehicles.
The elven cavalry immediately dispersed, more than ten meters away.
On the elven armor, there is a flash of magic brilliance, if it is not for the main cannon of the chariot, ordinary magic muskets will not be able to break the defense.
The people in the chariot were also surprised when they saw this scene.
The attack of the magic musket is a compound attack, and the magic defense effect alone is poor. This shows that the opponent's armor level is very high, and the blessed magic power is strong enough.
This is an army from another world, suppressed by the laws of the Overworld.
The medium magic musket on the chariot continued to fire slowly, but it was not as easy to lock onto as the main gun, and most of the attacks were missed, but a dozen shots were fired at the target, knocking the elven cavalry off their horses.
