Chapter 236: The Full Stop Army vs. the Comma Army
There is a reason why the female light elf Strina causes this misunderstanding. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info mainly one morning, as soon as a kobold came into the church, the little spoon all said hello: "Dog thing!" Of course, the kobold didn't understand, but the other party was a god's churchman, and with a kind smile on his face, he also nodded in response. The light elf on the side looked at it for a long time, thinking that "dog thing" might be a greeting word, similar to "hello" or something like that, so when he faced the real Lou Baole countrymen, he also tried to say the newly learned words.
Kevin froze for a moment, then nodded in response, not correcting him. In fact, it is okay for him to correct it, he is proficient in Elven and Lou Pauler Chinese, but he just doesn't want to.
As for the priest, his face is a little stiff, he knows Lou Pauler's Chinese, but he does not understand Elvish language. The two of them communicate, usually through the male light elf as a translator, but now the male light elf goes out, and the two of them basically rely on gestures.
Kevin even turned around and laughed at the priest, "Why does she call you a dog? What's wrong with you two?"
The priest retorted: "Maybe she called you?"
Kevin just smiled and didn't speak, and the joke stopped. The priest is really a little weak-hearted, and in terms of contact, it is obvious that he has had more contact with the female light elf, and he has just made a mistake in treatment, and there may be some places that make her look unpleasant, and it is difficult to say that he is not really scolding him.
The same thing happened to the two brave men who went out to practice, after two days of swordsmanship teaching, the quilt brave man has initially mastered some basic swordsmanship. He was originally a more clever kobold that Fett favored when he was on a mission, and he could come out in the middle of the night to practice swords, although the purpose was unknown, but it could also be seen that he was serious and hardworking. Not only that, but he even learned a "battle language".
When Jack was interviewed again to test his level, the quilt brave man put on a posture, full of confidence and murderous face, and listened to him shout in standard Lou Pauler Chinese: "Lighter!"
Jack: "......"
Obviously, he also had a misunderstanding, because when Sain and Xiao Jiu were practicing, Sain repeated "lighter" repeatedly, so much so that they mistakenly thought that "lighter" was a murderous word. If others don't understand this, they don't feel anything, for Lou Baole people, they can't help but have a trance.
Of course, they don't have the ability to clarify this, and they can't clarify, so they can only let him go, and after a few times, they get used to it. In private, everyone can't help but analyze why he shouted "God forbid" when he was cutting wooden signs, and then changed his words so quickly to "lighten up"? Is it because he doesn't believe enough? Or is he just a pragmatist? Or is he just shouting nonsense? No one knows, and he can't ask until he can talk.
As for the swordsmanship of the quilt brave, it has indeed improved significantly, but it is still far from how much it has been achieved. Even if the training of recruits is strict, starting from scratch from a villager to a qualified soldier, even if you meet a genius villager, it usually takes almost a month to achieve something, including their physical fitness, fighting ability, judgment, reflexes, and so on. After only two days of training, the quilt brave is just getting a glimpse of the door.
But at the same time, the time for Kevin and Father Priest to sign their contract is approaching. Within four days, at least evidence of a necromancer was found, and it took one day to select a new brave man, and another two days to teach swordsmanship, and now there is only one day.
The male elf Waldler was already urging to ask, "When are you going to find a necromancer?"
Sain and the others, who had answered this several times, finally got impatient, so they directly said: "We're going to change shifts soon, but you just ask Kevin directly." ”
Waldler had no choice but to wait, and in the evening of the same day, Kevin and Little Spoon went out of the city to exchange with Sain, and after reporting the situation to each other, this side was completely handed over to Kevin and Little Spoon. Of course, Waldler's question came as expected: "Kevin, they asked me to ask you, where is the necromancer?"
Kevin responded very cheerfully: "Don't worry, I'll leave tomorrow." ”
It was so simple that it was difficult for Waldler to say anything, but his face was still skeptical.
That night, Kevin and Little Spoon also began to work on a lot of preparations, and Waldler just watched from the sidelines, but it didn't help much. Looking at their appearance, it seems that they are guiding two brave men to the specified place, but due to the general arrowhead wooden plaques and the like, the brave ones directly ignore or even chop, so they have to use treasure chests to guide them.
As the night passed, Kevin slept for an hour or so before dawn, and Waldler watched them all night, and fatigue was inevitable. But when the sun rose, he was punctual and asked, "It's the last day, what about the necromancer?"
Kevin stood up and munched on a piece of jerky for breakfast, while patiently explaining to him: "We fought against the necromancer that day, and in the end the necromancer escaped. However, she lost her legs, and she was carrying herself on her back with a skeleton, which was not destined to go far. So it's certain that he's around this generation, and as long as the kobold brave follows our route, she'll definitely jump out. ”
"I've always felt like you're unreliable. Waldler didn't believe it.
"Then why did you promise us in the first place?" Kevin asked rhetorically.
Waldler: "......"
The two kobold warriors over there had already gotten up and continued to walk in the same direction as yesterday. Kevin and Little Spoon followed, and the more Waldler looked at it, the more he felt that the two of them had no tension at all, and their actions were as normal as eating and sleeping, if they really wanted to challenge the undead wizard who had been extinct for a hundred years, would this be the state?
"You say the brave are bait, so what if the necromancer isn't fooled?"
Kevin laughed, "Why don't you say, what if there is no necromancer?"
"No, we're serious about it right now, I'm not raising the bar. Waldler explained.
Kevin laughed again: "If you don't think there is a necromancer, then it's useless to say anything, all my plans will be doubted by you." So I don't have anything to say, you just wait and see the necromancer. ”
Waldler was speechless, so he could only continue to walk obediently. The first two brave men continued to move forward, and the treasure chests they encountered from time to time still made them excited. However, the treasure chest set up by Kevin is no longer weapons and equipment, or ready-made things such as food and drink, which are basically blueprints. From magic array drawings to catapult drawings.
These drawings were all hidden by the quilt brave, and the brave man of light beside him seemed to be completely indifferent, and after a long comparison between the two, he felt more and more that this brave man of light was a person who ate and waited for death.
In the blink of an eye, at noon, a shout of killing suddenly came from a distance, and then there was the sound of wheels rolling and continuous crashing, and the ground also felt some tremors, obviously there was a large-scale battlefield not far away.
Kevin couldn't help but change color slightly: "How can this be?"
Waldler couldn't help frowning: "This is originally a battlefield, isn't it normal to suddenly start fighting?"
"It's usually far from the frontal battlefield, and usually the battle doesn't take place here," Kevin explains, "and the key question is, if this is the battlefield, will the necromancer still come out? ”
Waldler: "......"
"Anyway, let's go check it out first!" Kevin paused for a moment, then pointed in the direction, "My crow reports, it's safe to walk this way." ”
Waldler had a question, but he couldn't help but think of the urgency of the current situation. At the same time, looking at the two brave men, they also heard the sound of the battle of the army, and the two brave men were also nervous. At this time, the two were still discussing what to do, and Kevin was worried that if the two of them ran around and were caught by the army, the plan would be over, so he immediately gave Little Spoon a look.
The little spoon comprehended, passed like a gust of wind, picked up the two brave men, stuffed them into the treasure chest, and then tied them with ropes outside and threw them on the side of the road. Although the two brave men struggled, where did they struggle? In the wilderness, no one paid attention to it even if they cut their throats. In fact, it was the most suitable to be stunned, but the kobold's strength was too weak, and it was not good to worry about being injured with a heavy hand, so it was better to stuff it in the box.
Temporarily getting the two kobold braves, Kevin took the two of them all the way around the trees, walked in the grass, drilled into the cracks in the ground, and came to a natural mountain wall gap in a moment, the height was halfway up the mountain, and he could basically observe the overall situation. Kevin winked at Waldler, who understood that he had used a wood-based spell to grow a small bush that completely obscured the three of them.
Waldler's suspicion was even greater, as if the location had already been chosen, but it was not impossible to say that with the help of crows, it was not impossible to observe this place from the air temporarily. I had to hold back my doubts and look down at the battle situation.
On the plain below the mountain, thousands of chariots fought against each other, and the scale was much larger than the chariot battles that Kevin had seen with his own eyes, and as far as he knew, the main city where he was, the kobold regiment commander did not send troops today, obviously this was the other troops of the rebel army fighting against the government army, judging by the scale of the battle, it is likely that the main generals of both sides will personally play.
This time, in addition to the known comma and period-type chariot units, both sides also took on a large number of infantry. With candles on his head on one side and helmets on the other, he initially had the rudiments of chariots and infantry working together, although he still looked a little immature, and many kobold soldiers were not used to this method of warfare, and many were even hit by their own chariots.
However, even if they are immature, the new tactics have significantly improved the strength of both sides, at least the old days of selling a few bulldozers to defeat the full stop tank are gone. Even if the combat vehicle is made to drive in all terrain, but after all, it is relatively dull, and they can only drive into people, and it is relatively easy to develop targeted tactics, but after adding infantry, it is completely different.
Countless arrows flew on the field, flesh and blood were swayed, and the war that used to drive into each other like a joke no longer exists, and only then did the cruelty of war finally be revealed. The chariots collided with each other, and quite a few kobolds pushed behind the carts, trying to increase the impact. As soon as the local chariot comes to a slight halt, or a slight flaw, it will suddenly swarm and pounce. Look for the crevices in the car, look for the observation holes in the car, shoot arrows into it, stab knives, throw fire oil......
Similarly, when the enemy infantry rushes up, the own infantry needs to go up to block it, and the chariot battle becomes white-knuckle melee again. Once in white-knuckle combat, the chariot ramming is meaningless, because the enemy and the enemy are all together, but the chariot also has bow and arrow holes, and it can be used to shoot with crossbow arrows with precision, turning itself into a fortress.
And as soon as there is a slight shortage of enemies in a certain area, the chariot immediately drives and collides, and the ordinary kobold soldiers can resist it, and the whole person flies away. In the rear of both sides, there are chief-looking men who supervise the battle, armed with crossbow arrows, and usually shoot at the enemy, but if someone turns around and flees, they are unceremoniously killed.
Many people from the government army have dropped the candles, and in a trance, they thought they were rebels, but they were killed by their own people behind them as enemy troops. In the melee, accidental injuries are inevitable, and in this case it can only depend on luck.
"What's your assessment?" Wardler was attracted to the war at this time, and couldn't help but ask Kevin's opinion.
"Neither side has used the essence of weapons, and they can't use cars, and even if the infantry keeps up, they can only fight indiscriminately. Kevin pointed out unceremoniously.
Seeing Kevin's tone, Waldler couldn't help but be a little unconvinced, and wanted to test him: "Then you predict, who will win this battle?"
Kevin was silent for a moment and replied: "Judging from the current situation, the full stop chariot has a better chance of winning. ”
"Why?" asked Waldler.
"There will be more and more corpses on the ground, which is an obstacle for wheeled vehicles," Kevin replied, "and wheeled things that are relatively easy for infantry to find and get stuck, no matter how they are improved, are not comparable to the full stop vehicles with a layer of water film below." ”
"Oh, why did the Empire design wheeled vehicles when there were so many disadvantages to them?" asked Waldler, "what do you think the comma chariot is for?"
"In its current form, it may be that his function may be that it is a transporter," Kevin speculates, "and it is obvious that there are two sections, and there is a trailer in the back, and the comma in the middle is connected." However, he obviously has such an excellent ability to hit people, unlike ordinary transporters. ”
"What could that be?" asked Waldler.
Kevin also patiently explained to him: "As far as I know, there is a kind of super heavy infantry, the whole body armor is extremely thick or multi-layered, and even embedded magic arrays to improve magic resistance, almost invulnerable, invulnerable. But also because the weight is so heavy, that it moves slowly. At this time, it has become an excellent coordination tactic to use vehicle-mounted transportation and send it directly to the battlefield for combat. Of course, I'm guessing, too. ”
As he spoke, the form on the battlefield really began to change. Many comma chariots began to move visibly sticky, and the full stop chariots began to press on the whole, and many comma chariots that stayed in place and could not move were caught in the rebel formation, and it was estimated that they would soon be captured.
And the commander of the comma army in the rear, of course, also noticed this and immediately ordered the withdrawal of the troops. But at this time, when the battlefield was in a mess, the withdrawal of troops was very unfavorable, and the full stop chariot directly pursued the situation, and for a time the government troops lost their armor and fled in embarrassment, and many were directly knocked into the air or crushed to death. Don't think that a layer of water film can't crush people, the weight of the body is on this layer of water film, and the pressure can't disappear out of thin air.
However, fortunately, the speed of the comma chariot was higher than that of the full stop chariot, and after a few moments, after leaving thousands of government corpses and more than a dozen comma chariots, the government army finally escaped. The rebels did not pursue, but cheered victory on the spot and began to collect the corpses and booty on the ground.
"It's over," Waldler began, it didn't matter to him who won or who lost, he just cared, "what about the necromancer?"
Kevin was helpless: "To be honest, the necromancer won't come out in this case." But it's not my problem, it's an accident. ”
"What do you want to express?" said Waldler, his face was displeased.
"There is such a clause in the agreement we signed, if there is force majeure, we can renegotiate," Kevin said, "War is force majeure." ”
"You, you're like this, it's going to be your own credit that you're going to lose!" Wodler was angry.
"Okay, don't get excited, I'll explain it to you. Kevin naturally took out the map and spread it out to him.
