"This is a refining array, and basically every alchemist who wants to perform alchemy must draw a refining array. And the refining array is also divided into many kinds, and the one I painted is just one of them. ”

Speaking of this, Zhuang Zheng directly pressed his palm up.

Then, I didn't see him make any strange movements, and the refining array below suddenly burst out with a burst of light.

The light is not strong, nor is it brilliant, and even during the day, when the light is strong, it can be overlooked.

But this was not the focus of Xia Qi's attention, I saw that between the shining light, the hand that was solemnly pressed on the stone table did not slowly retreat.

The next thing, a strange scene happened.

I saw that at this time, there was an extra stone knife in his solemn hand!

Then, before Xia Qi could think about it, solemnly and directly tapped the table with the stone knife.

"Look here."

Xia Qi subconsciously looked at the position solemnly pointed, and then quickly found that on the originally flat stone table, there was an extra circular groove with a diameter of about ten centimeters at this time!

Immediately after, the solemn voice sounded again.

"At the heart of alchemy is equivalent exchange, and the specific steps are divided into three steps, which are understanding, decomposing, and recombining."

"Take this stone table as an example, if I want to use this stone table to perform alchemy, I first have to understand how this stone table is composed and what its ingredients are???????????????? group, and finally got this stone knife in my hand. ”

"To put it simply, the composition and quality of this disappearing tabletop and the knife in my hand are exactly the same, and what I did was simply transform the shape of this tabletop."

Listening to the solemn explanation, Xia Qi nodded slightly while digesting this information.

And in the meantime, the attendant, who had left halfway, came over with a tray.

Xia Qi glanced at the things on the tray, there were metal and powder, but Xia Qi couldn't see the door at all.

The only thing he recognized was the small pile of black powder, because he already smelled gunpowder.

At this moment, he already had some guesses in his heart about what Yan Yan was going to do next.

Sure enough, I saw solemnly draw a refining array again, and in the next second, a pistol appeared in his hand.

"So, those metals and powders in the tray just now are the ingredients needed to make a pistol?"

"Yes."

After sorting out the thoughts in his head, Xia Qi began to try to explain the steps of alchemy.

"First of all, you understand the construction and principle of the pistol, and understand every material that makes up a pistol, and then, you draw a alchemy array, and with the same amount of materials, you can make a pistol through alchemy?"

"That's right."

Under the solemn explanation, Xia Qi finally figured out the basic principle of this "alchemy".

To put it bluntly, alchemy completely embodies the concept that knowledge is power!

If you want to use alchemy flexibly, you must study frantically and have enough knowledge.

As he spoke, he dismantled the pistol into the most primitive material.

And during this period, Xia Qi, who had almost digested the information, began to ask questions.

"When I was on the battlefield before, I saw those ...... Alchemists can conjure weapons out of thin air, and I can guess that they should carry those materials in their backpacks behind them or somewhere else, and turn them into bunkers made of earth and rock, which can also be used locally. However, at that time, I didn't see them draw a formation of formations, didn't you say that refining into a formation is a must? ”

Faced with this question, Zhuang Zheng did not rush to say something, but waved to the attendants on the side again.

Then, I saw that the attendant calmly showed his gloved hands in front of Xia Qi's eyes.

I didn't pay attention to it before, but Xia Qi really didn't notice it.

And now, after learning about the "alchemy" thing, he noticed that on one of the squire's gloves, there were actually two alchemy arrays drawn!

"I see, sometimes there is no time to draw a refining formation on the battlefield, so in order to save time, you can directly wear a gloved refining formation?"

"That's right." Solemn nodded.

"However, there are many kinds of refining arrays, and different refining arrays have different effects. I won't go into details. ”

At this time, Xia Qi, after basically figuring out the matter, looked at the squire's eyes, and also changed.

Before, he wondered that Zhuang Yan was also the supreme ruler of this country, how could there be no guard in this garden except for such an attendant?

Now it seems that this ordinary-looking squire is his guard.

Immediately after, Xia Qi remembered another thing.

"By the way, according to what you said, those rock giants should also be made by alchemy, right?"

"Well, that rock giant is a type of alchemy golem, but I don't have that kind of low-level alchemy golem here."

"Huh? You just said low-level? ”

"That's right, those rock giants are just what I use to consume the ammunition on the other side. Their main material is stone, and they basically have no other advantages except for their large size and good strength. ”

Xia Qi: ......

"Another word of caution, although this war has been going on for some time, in fact, the other side has not moved in earnest."

Xia Qi: "Didn't move the real thing? In the previous scene, at least two or three hundred main battle tanks were dispatched, and there were so many armored vehicles, and the fire of the artillery camp behind was also fiercely killed. ”

????????????????“ No. ”

Majestically shook his head.

After seeing that the other party didn't mean to joke, Xia Qi also gasped directly.

"They've been draining my forces and resources over the years, and I've been dealing with them with that kind of alchemy puppet. To put it bluntly, they are consuming each other, so don't be careless. ”

In this regard, Xia Qi laughed dryly and said, "How dare I do this." ”

Then, Xia Qi changed his words and said, "By the way, you just said that those rock giants are just low-level alchemy puppets, what do high-level ones look like?" ”

"If you want to see something more advanced, I do have it here, but it's not a puppet."

As he spoke, he solemnly waved to the sky.

Then, without waiting for Xia Qi to react, a huge black shadow blocked the sky above him.

In the next second, with a muffled sound, a demon with two wings on his back and two horns on his head appeared in front of Xia Qi's eyes.

Seeing this, Wang Kai subconsciously stepped forward and protected Xia Qi behind him.

And Xia Qi, as one of the parties involved, quickly reacted after a short period of surprise.

"This ...... It can't be a gargoyle, right? ”

"That's right."

He nodded solemnly, and then said to the gargoyle, "Go back." ”

Hearing this, the gargoyle fluttered its wings and flew back to the corner of the roof, transforming itself back into a motionless stone statue.

It was at this time that Xia Qi noticed that there were still several gargoyles sitting on the solemn mansion.

"Gargoyles are not low-level alchemy puppets, but relatively high-level alchemy creatures."

"Alchemical creatures?"

Xia Qi realized the difference between the words "creature" and "puppet".

"To put it simply, low-level alchemy puppets have no intelligence and no autonomous consciousness, they are like a machine, they will only execute the set commands, and the orders must not be too complicated."

"Alchemy creatures, on the other hand, are special individuals with a certain amount of intelligence and autonomous consciousness, and they are even more intelligent and powerful. However, it is much more difficult to refine an alchemy creature than to refine an alchemy puppet, and the alchemy materials required are also more valuable, which you can understand as a high-level class of our alchemy civilization. ”

After having a general understanding of the solemn alchemy civilization, when the two discussed the distribution of some troops and tactical play, it was also much smoother.

During the period, for Xia Qi's strength in Great Xia, Zhuang Zheng also felt a little surprised, although he had been mentally prepared, but after knowing the exact strength of Xia Qi's army, the result was still beyond solemn expectations.

Later, while discussing the battle situation, Xia Qi stayed in the solemn mansion for dinner, and did not leave with a group of guards until it was officially nightfall, and let the vehicle that had been waiting outside send them to their temporary residence. On the other side of Great Xia, a detailed report on the previous battle also came out.

After reading the report in his hand, Du Ruhui's face also became very solemn.

Twenty Falcon-3 gunships, a fighter formation, plus four tank regiments, and the total annihilation of the ambush force.

This price is really heavy.

It can only be said that the previous strategy was not wrong, and even in some respects, it was successful.

But helplessly, the hard power of the troops of the opposite Europa player is too hard!

At that time, if the situation of the war was to be reversed, it was necessary to destroy the twenty-four helicopter gunships on the opposite side.

However, the air defense units that were acting together were completely contained by the armored vehicles and mechanized infantry regiments of Europa on the opposite side, and the fighter formations were also strangled by the anti-aircraft missiles on the opposite side.

Coupled with the suppression of scientific and technological strength, that battle didn't even take much time from the beginning to the end, it could be called a blitzkrieg, but it made the Northwest Frontier Army pay a terrible price!

The total annihilation of the four tank regiments, which are the main combat forces, can be said to be unexpected.

In this case, if you want to transfer tank regiments from other fortresses, it will obviously be too late.

Fortunately, when Xia Qi set out on the expedition, although he took away a lot of giant beasts, he also left a lot behind, including four storm eagles.

Just in case, we can support the border at any time.

Follow the speed of the Storm Eagle???????????????? degree, should be able to reach the border in a short time.

The worst-case scenario would be to abandon the fortress and completely shift the battlefield to the territory.

Anyway, the evacuation work of several border cities had already been done by Xia Qi long before he was officially promoted to the golden rank.

What made Du Ruhui feel strange was that until the third day of the invasion war, Europa's invading troops did not make any further moves, which couldn't help but make him mutter.

Du Ruhui guessed in his heart whether it was because Violent Bear led his troops to attack the enemy's command camp and destroyed some of the equipment and ammunition resources.

However, he is not entirely sure of this.

Because, none of them knew how much ammunition and equipment they were carrying on the opposite side.

They destroyed part of it, that's a fact, but who can guarantee that there is nothing left on the opposite side, and if there is a left, then how much is left?

Until he has a definite answer to these questions, he will not be able to make any judgment from this information.

And now, after the opposite side has completely wiped out his four tank regiments, there has been no movement for several days, which is more interesting.

Under normal circumstances, after such a big victory, the opposite side must take advantage of the victory to pursue.

But on the contrary, the other side did not do so, and even the border fortress on this side was not captured.

Considering the fact that the Storm Bear led his troops to blow up a part of the ammunition resources on the opposite side as mentioned in the previous report, the whole thing suddenly became clear.

The ammunition resources on the opposite side were insufficient, so in order to seek stability, the other side gave up continuing the attack.

After that, Du Ruhui also sent a part of the scale bird riders to confirm.

It turned out that there was no trace of the Europa force in the border area.

At this moment, the initiative fell back into the hands of Great Xia.

But Du Ruhui didn't let the violent bear lead the troops to pursue, it didn't make any sense to do that.

I want to beat the water dog, but I can't guarantee that the water dog won't turn around and bite me again.

A rash pursuit will only further increase casualties.

At the same time, the other party has already chosen to evacuate, the movement speed of the mechanized troops is very fast, and in the desert terrain, the trace left by the other party's evacuation will soon be buried by the wind and sand.

This desert is so big, it is not easy to pursue it.

The next few days passed quietly, and soon the seventh day of the invasion came to be.

Then, Xia Qi's ears heard a system reminder that the invader had taken the initiative to retreat, so there was no need for him to pull in foreign aid.

As for the outcome of this invasion, there is no doubt that he lost.

And judging by the losses, he can be said to be a fiasco!

Listening to the system prompt in his ears, Xia Qi's expression seemed very calm, what he had known for a long time, what else was there to be surprised?
