Chapter 1577: An Unsatisfactory War
,!
There are different opinions about what the ancient magical civilization was like. This is not because there are too few records, but because there are too many records, and there are true and false in them, so the original appearance has long been unclear.
There was once a school of magicians who pursued these ancient and ancient magics, hoping to have the power to change the world but could not obtain it, and there was even a danger of devouring their own bodies. Over time, the magicians of this school gradually withdrew from the mainstream, and even broke off their lineage.
The reason why it is impossible to reproduce the magic of the ancient and ancient times is only because the environment of the present is different from the past. The eight powers of the Lost Land did not have eight at the beginning.
Let's just say that a thousand years ago, in the dark ages of the Demon King's Land, there was no such thing as 'power' at that time. It was in the new god that the eight powerful lords were born and became the source of the magician's magic, which is why there is the so-called 'power'.
Different eras, different environments, and different cultivation and combat systems. Even those abyss lords in the abyss who have lived for an unknown number of years also know how to keep pace with the times. If you can't keep up with the pace of a certain era, you will be eliminated by the times.
The Floating Island has been inherited from ancient times, and how it has developed over thousands of years, or maintained its ancient appearance, is of course unknown to anyone before. Now it is gone, but it is the first to appear.
The iron harrier was slightly larger than a man. When they flew closer, they looked closer, but they were humanoid armorers with wings on their backs. These two golden wings, on the other hand, are not like birds, which need to flap their wings and fly. Silver Feather has a variety of magical effects, and it can carry people to fly and have various changes.
And these iron harriers flying down from the floating island, their arms are like magic wands. As soon as it gets close to the surface, it constantly bombards the enemy on the ground. Whether it is a condensed entity or a virtual form, magic of various attributes has deadly power.
What's more, with their hands like sticks, they spew out a green poisonous mist. While hurting the heart and lungs, it also corrodes the body. Suddenly, the orc army that had invaded the place fell to the ground.
It's just that from this blow, you can see how much the thoughts of this floating islander are.
The green mist was filled, and not only the orc army that wounded the attackers, but even the militia who were stationed here were corroded and injured. They fell in the same dust, and died in the same miserable state.
However, the flying Iron Harrier didn't say much, and went straight to the enemy to kill, using the same attack method. For his accidental injury, it was as if he hadn't seen it, and he was completely unapologetic. Of course, I didn't care about it.
Although in war, accidental injuries are common. But whether you try your best to avoid it, and if it happens, whether you feel guilty, it is not the same as a deliberate person. The floating islanders give people the feeling that they don't care about these things and let them happen.
Not only the Green Mist Emissary, but also many islanders who harness the Iron Harrier have such a tendency. It's just that their actions are not obvious, and they don't deliberately greet humans.
In addition, the situation on the scene, there are many orcs and few humans, so naturally most of the attacks are for the orcs to bear the past. The orcs fled, and so did the humans, but the two sides fled in different directions. The Iron Harrier is chasing the orcs, not the humans, which is probably the best news.
In such a state of affairs, it is not without shrewdness on the human side that it can be seen. But at least the floating islanders are here to kill the enemy, and they are lucky to be able to survive, so how can they ask for more. Please, will those strong people in the sky be willing to listen?
Lost to strength. Behind the word 'respect', there is no trace of sadness and sadness.
I saw the iron harrier crisscrossing back and forth in the air, and the terrible howl of the orcs on the left, the balance of the war was completely tilted, and the victory and defeat were divided. No matter how fast the remaining orcs escaped, how could they run on two legs faster than flying in the sky.
Eventually, the floating island entered the WTO and defeated a half-orc brigade in the first battle. The number of thousands of people was defeated in an instant.
There are also floating islanders who claim to be celestials, saying that they are here to defend against the invasion of the abyss. This is great news for the human side.
It's just that although the floating island floats in the air, it doesn't move freely like an airship. The mechanism of its movement was not revealed to anyone. The floating island that everyone knows only about, Edda, stays where it appeared.
Judging by the shadows on the ground, every other day, the floating island of Edda moves slightly, not completely fixed.
Although the celestials have the heart to crusade against this group of Homo sapiens alliance from the underworld that have allied with demons. But it was only to send out empty whales that were quite similar to those flying in the sky, plus countless iron harriers to trek away to defeat the scattered enemies.
The expeditionary force did not stop at any place to rest, and after each day's battle, it would return to the Floating Island to recuperate. He never showed his true face in front of outsiders, at most he talked to people in the posture of an iron harrier.
Although the language they use is similar to the lingua franca of the world, the words and intonation are different from those of today, and there are many ancient styles.
That's why people think that the floating islanders should be human. The lingua franca of Guy was originally used by human beings, and now the world of the Lost Land has human beings as the protagonists, and the human language has become the universal language.
However, the accents of the mysterious land are different from place to place, and it is not surprising that the adventurers who come and go have different accents. Even if you talk about it, you can still understand what each other wants to convey.
Therefore, although the floating island made a stunning debut, the Iron Harrier team can be regarded as huge. But from the perspective of war, it is not without weaknesses.
If you really want to say it, it is to compare the floating island to a magic tower with a larger radiation range and more power.
The strength of the magic tower lies in its defensive power and long-range attack ability. A magic tower can shelter the inhabitants of a ten-mile radius, this is a proven fact.
However, the shortcomings of the magic tower are also obvious, in addition to not being able to run and escape, the biggest disadvantage is the lack of manpower.
The people in the tower are all magicians, or at least apprentices. But as a building that has both life functions and stockpiles, there are not too many people living in the magic tower.
However, fighting a war is first and foremost about fighting a large number of people. Even if there is a great individual who can lead an enemy army, those who are strong have to go until the last resort, and few people alone take on an army. The main reason is that it takes too much time and effort to cut one by one.
Even if you can keep an army around the magic tower, it is not safer than hiding in the tower. And the people in the tower and the people outside the tower are invisibly different. Therefore, the manpower problem of this magic tower is also a hard injury.
On the other hand, the situation of the floating island, although it is not like the magic tower that can't run, but now it seems that it can't run fast. Stagnant in the first place, the daily movement is not more than an inch.
The long-range ability has not yet been demonstrated. But looking at the island, the magic tower is like a forest, even if it can't be bombarded a hundred miles away, there are ten or twenty miles. It can't be worse than a magic tower built on the ground.
As for the manpower issue. Although I don't know how many empty whales and iron harriers can be produced on the floating island, it is much more than the number of palms on the top of the magic tower.
The Tibetan army on the island is certainly not a big problem, but I don't know how many troops are hidden on a floating island.
But this strong army didn't know why, and couldn't get too far away from the floating island. I don't know if there are any restrictions, or if it's just that these people don't want to.
This makes the scope of the floating island enveloped and sheltered by a larger area than the magic tower. But as long as the enemy bypasses this range, he will not be the target of the Floating Island attack.
This discovery disappointed many people, but made many people who were united by the evil camp feel happy. At least the army hunts elsewhere and doesn't have to fight the floating islands.
In the small country to the west of the Wind Emperor Mountain Range, there was a king who rushed to meet with the celestials of the Floating Island. There were a lot of talks, including whether he could be the head of the coalition army, lead the armies of various countries, and defend against the Western Route Army of the evil camp. There is a posture of throwing off the Vida militarism and hugging the thick thighs.
He also asked if the floating island could move quickly and move over his kingdom as a horn to defend each other. It's just that this is a nice thing to say, and the original intention is to ask for refuge.
There is also the ability to ask about the sky island, the location of the other four floating islands. All of this has a great implication.
However, the celestials on the floating island are not stupid and sweet, let alone ignorant people who don't know what to do. In response to the naked inquiries of the king of this small country, they used the old language and steadily blocked them all.
The question asked, which has been revealed, is spoken; Those who have not yet been revealed are kept silent in the name of confidentiality. The power of the Sky Island is a big secret, and of course it is impossible to reveal it easily.
And the other four empty islands really don't know. A floating island is a country, and the five floating islands have not been in contact with each other for a long time, and no one knows what the situation is with each other, whether they are still floating.
As for the meaning of unity, the celestials of the Floating Island are above the level of surface magicians per capita. Looking at the people on the earth, they are not even as good as their children, how can they have the idea of unity.
It is important to know that lions can only ally with tigers, not sheep, let alone guinea pigs.
Although he didn't know what the council's considerations were, he decided to show up to help the people of the earth and defend against the Lost Lands War started by demons. The celestial beings only obeyed the orders of the council, put on the iron harrier suit, took the whale in the sky, and set out to conquer the earth.
Anyway, hunting some small beasts on the sky island every day is always not fun. If you don't get permission for a few years, you can only get a good time shooting targets for a few years.
Now that the ban has been lifted, the Council has made it clear that even if the orcs and gray dwarves are killed, no one will be punished. Everyone is gearing up and impatient to go on the expedition.
It's just that after several battles, although the floating island has won an overwhelming victory, it is not ideal in the overall situation.
On the human side, if the enemy situation is regarded as a large octopus with tentacles scratching around, then the floating islanders are just cutting off the ends of a few tentacles, and there is no harm to the overall situation.
For the Western Coalition of the evil camp, although the Floating Island is strong, its shortcomings are too obvious. Such an opponent is difficult to deal with, but as long as you choose not to deal with it, it is fine.
Even though the area that the Floating Island can shelter is larger than the Magic Tower, it doesn't cover all of the Mystery Land. Outside of sanctuary areas, there is still much to be done.
However, the celestials on the floating island may be the most dissatisfied. They're there, they're in battle, they're in battle, they're in power, but no one pays any attention to them......
Maybe others will take a detour when they see it, which is the best proof that they are strong enough. But the floating islanders aren't here to prove what they already know!
There is also a protagonist who thought he was showing up at a critical moment to save everyone from danger. As a result, he was robbed of his love, not to mention the supporting roles, he was forgotten. Vinda's dissatisfaction was not explicitly stated, but it could be clearly felt.
Many situations were intertwined, and the battlefield west of the Wind Emperor Mountain Range became treacherous.
