Chapter 571: Recuperate
The battle with the Reapers, which was not the most difficult for Duanmu Huai, did lose many warships in the Inquisition. Therefore, after the battle of the Reapers, the Inquisition began a new round of work to gather resources and expand the fleet.
After the battle with the reaper, Duanmu Huai also understood, don't look at the reaper in the game who was killed by the player is about to be extinct, the problem is that there are no players on his side, it can be said that he is now playing the stand-alone version of the online game, and the thing that the player kills in the game is about to be extinct, and on his side, he can also be crushed to death by the number alone.
The reapers, when the Tyranid Zerg came, wasn't they even more dead?
In the face of this situation, what else can Duanmu Huai do?
There is only one way.
Explosive soldiers!
Explode to the death!
It's best if he can blow up a guild by himself!
It's simple and crude, just use the number A to go up.
This problem is still easy to solve, but other problems are not so easy to solve.
For example......... Manpower.
That's right, Duanmu Huai found that there were too few people in his fleet who could command the battle.
Like this against the Reaper, he was busy almost the whole time, and the others couldn't help at all except cheering themselves on the side......... Of course, they can't be blamed for this, Ann and Gurea are princesses, and they are good at magic warfare, but commanding a fleet is another matter.
As for the rest......... Firin, Audrey, and Lorena can't count on it, and Bambi and Kura don't even think about it, even if they want to, Duanmu Huai doesn't dare to hand over the command of the fleet to this group of little hairy heads.
Looking at it this way, it seems that his subordinates are all soldiers, and there are no generals at all!
It's right to think about it carefully, after all, Duanmu Huai is a lone wolf in the game, even if he is hired by the guild, he is also a pioneer and other roles, and he doesn't need to transfer troops in the rear at all, as long as he does it according to the employer's orders. So Duanmu Huai has never thought about this problem all along, but now it seems that he has to think about it.
So Duanmu Huai called everyone over......... The three stinkers should be able to have a few good ideas.
"Huh? Manalia's side......... There doesn't seem to be anyone like it........."
"What Mr. Duanmu wants is a staff officer and a general, this kind of person is hard to find........."
"Why don't you ask Mr. Duanmu to ask how many people Starlink wants? There should be a lot of people here who are good at commanding fleets. β
"Is that the fleet of the Inquisition or the fleet of the Star Alliance? How can loyalty be guaranteed? β
Although Ann and Gruya were not good at commanding battles, as a royal family, they were immediately aware of the biggest problem.
That's right, loyalty.
The military is the most powerful pillar of power, and as the person who commands it, loyalty must be the most important. This is also the reason why the emperors of all dynasties often let talented people not use them, but chose some mediocre talents as generals to command the army. After all, for many rulers, whether they have talent or not is second, and loyalty or disloyalty is the first.
If you are talented but not loyal, then don't you just wait to be added to the yellow robe?
Especially a talented and ambitious general, if he doesn't meet an emperor who is also talented and ambitious and can still control him, who would dare to hand over the army with confidence?
Although the Inquisition is not a nation, as a spearhead in the fight against xenomorphs, heresies, and demons, they demand nothing less than the Emperor. If you can't agree with the philosophy and methods of the court, then you won't join. In this case, it is indeed very difficult to find a suitable one.
And at this time, the bell girl raised her hand with a smile.
"So, do you want to look for it in the non-commissioned officer school?"
"Non-commissioned officer school?"
"Yes, there is a non-commissioned officer school in our world that specializes in training officers, and among those students in it, there may be suitable talents."
"O your world......... The level is a little lower. β
This is also the reason why Duanmu Huai has never thought of looking for officers from places such as Manalia and Skyrim Province before, after all, the tactics they learn are all flat, but space warfare is a sphere of 360 degrees, to put it bluntly, it is not good to hear that a fleet can go around from below to the back to explode your chrysanthemum, and in the universe, it is extremely difficult to distinguish between up and down, left and right, and ordinary generals are confused just when they encounter the enemy.........
"Huh? But what you want is not an ordinary general, right?,If it's that kind of genius.,It's not like you'll be able to meow o(=β©Οβ©=)"
"You seem to have a point."
Hearing what Ling Nu said, Duanmu Huai also felt a little reasonable, indeed, what is the use of his court asking for ordinary generals, if he wants that kind of genius, and since he is a genius, it must be regardless of the era, and it can blossom and bear fruit in any era.
"Wait a minute."
Duanmu Huai's speed was also very fast, and after making a decision, he immediately gave an order to Lumier, and a moment later, Duanmu Huai returned to the room with a helmet and handed the helmet to Suzume.
"Meow? This is?? β
"A VR tactical simulator, used by the Star Alliance, I asked Lumiel to help me adjust the parameters, changed to the Inquisition version, you take this to find someone, see the right one, let him test, and then tell me who passed the test."
Although it is said to be a selection,But Duanmu Huai did not relax the selection criteria,This VR tactical simulator originally used by the Star Union was changed into two parts by him,The first part is a tutorial,It is to let players understand the rules of cosmic warfare,The opponent is the swarmγ
The second part is the actual battle, where the player must lead an Inquisition army and simulate what to do if the Tyranid swarm attacked a galaxy.
That's right, this means that the first level of the tutorial is Hell difficulty.
After all, there is only one level. And Duanmu Huai wants to see who lasts the longest in this case!
After all, the battles of the Inquisition themselves are almost endless, and they can't do without a big heart of fortitude.
"Woo meow, understand, don't worry about leaving it to the bell girl!"
I have to say that as a top ninja, Suzunu's action is indeed very fast, and after only a week, she successfully brought back the data to Duanmu Huai.
As for the evaluation............
"A lot of people say it's too hard."
"This is normal, it's not difficult to see their strength?"
Duanmu Huai said as he took back his helmet and opened the data.
Well, most people only supported it for more than ten minutes before it was finished, which is also normal, after all, the progression is different, and Duanmu Huai has no hope......... However, the first place is an exaggeration.
"Five hours? Did you make it through? Are you teasing me? β
Looking at the record in front of him, Duanmu Huai was taken aback, you must know that this can be regarded as a nightmare difficulty, even if it is Duanmu Huai himself, if he wants to say whether he can win like this, he is not sure. How did the other party do it?
With curiosity, Duanmu Huai opened the game recording video, and then began to watch it.
At the beginning of the campaign, the commander did not get any information, only knew that there was an unknown alien invasion of the galaxy, and the commander needed to investigate the situation, and then let the commander play freely. In the records that Duanmu Huai had read before, most of them sent scout teams as soon as possible, and then they were wiped out by the swarm, and then they either chose to divide their troops to engage in guerrilla warfare around them, or they just stuck to the planet.
But in fact, both of these are very normal but very useless ways to deal with the Zerg, after all, the swarm can explode troops on the spot, whether it is guerrilla or defensive, and when the two sides are fighting, the commander is faced with a swarm that far exceeds his expectations, and then it is directly swept away by the other party.
However, this commander's reaction was very strange, he also sent scouts, but not one wave, but four waves in a rowβββ of course, the first wave of scouts was eliminated, but at the same time the other party also obtained the approximate information of the swarm from the next three waves of scouts. Then, the other side led the main fleet and rushed directly to the battlefield.
"Isn't this a death?"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but complain, the commander only has a fleet under him, although the swarm is the vanguard, but the number is definitely not something that a fleet can deal with, once the two sides go head-to-head, they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
But he fought for five hours??
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai looked at it curiously.
Then, a scene that made his jaw drop appeared.
I saw that the fleet did not enter the battlefield directly, but stopped at a distance from the swarm army, and then ......... Direct fire.
βοΌοΌοΌβ
Duanmu Huai watched as a series of artillery fire crossed the sea of stars, flew all the way to the army of insect swarms, and then exploded inside......... is also confused.
Is this Nima okay too?
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai somewhat understood the other party's thoughts, to put it simply......... It's an over-the-horizon attack.
No, this is no longer an over-the-horizon attack, this is at the level of a cruise missile at all.
In fact, this is also normal, general weapons have a difference between "effective range" and "maximum range", the so-called "effective range" refers to the accurate distance required by the weapon to achieve the expected accuracy and power requirements when firing at the intended target. The "maximum range" refers to the farthest distance from the bullet to the ground after it flies out of the muzzle, and the accuracy is not important, and the power is not important, just look at the distance.
Of course, there is no precision at all, it belongs to where you hit.
But, in the universe, that's a different story.
As we all know, the universe is a vacuum environment, with almost zero resistance, and once it is launched, it will keep flying forward. Of course, if it is an energy attack, it will disappear as the energy itself is depleted. But if it's a cannonball, then it's going to fly and fly......... Either you hit some unlucky celestial object, or you don't know where to go.
So strictly speaking, as long as you anticipate the opponent's position and speed, you can indeed launch an attack in this way. Just like after the submarine predicts the speed and course of the battleship, it can also bombard it directly with a torpedo, and then it will be too late for the other party to find out.
The principle is simple, but in fact, this trick does not work well on the actual battlefield.
The reason is just as simple.
The universe is too big...............
Even if it's a galaxy, if you put 10,000 warships in it, it's a drop in the ocean. The difficulty of vainly attempting to carry out an over-the-horizon attack by such a method is comparable to hitting a fly 5,000 kilometers away with a pistol without aiming, and it is simply a dream. Not to mention that the universe is not in the sea, people can hide wherever they want, as long as you miss the first wave of attacks, it is equivalent to exposing your position directly to the other party.
Players have also tried this method before, but later said that it was not played by people at all and gave up.
But right now, someone is really fighting in this way?
Sure enough, although the first wave of attacks hit the swarm, the swarm also locked on to the attacker's position, and soon, a large number of insects were seen moving forward quickly, as if a huge monster stretched out its huge tentacles, trying to grasp the prey hidden in the dark depths.
And almost at the same time, Duanmu Huai saw that the fleet also reacted immediately, only to see them retreat while continuing to fireβββ most unexpected thing was that almost every time they fired, they hit!
How is this done?
You must know that when the fleet attacks, the swarm is still out of their field of vision, and the average person will only feel that the fleet is consuming ammunition meaninglessly. However, in fact, each of the opponent's attacks accurately hit the most dense and concentrated area of the swarm troops.
Is it through the scout troops?
Of course, Duanmu Huai also saw that the other three scout troops did not withdraw from the battlefield, but had been monitoring the swarm army from a distance. If you use this method to calculate the location and coordinates of the swarm troops, as well as the speed and predetermined orbit, you can indeed launch an attack in advanceβββ but this kind of thing can't be done by Duanmu Locust.
Because it requires a lot of calculations, and his brain only needs more than four calculations to die.
As for the calculus advanced math, it will be returned to the school after graduation.
"No wonder you can play for five hours."
Duanmu Huai fast-forwarded and watched the whole process, and shook his head helplessly. The opponent's tactic is very clear, which is to use this over-the-horizon attack to delay time by flying kites that release swarms, and then evacuate civilians on other planets as much as possible. When the swarm attacks the planet for "on-site supply", it will directly smash an extinction order over, insist on adopting the strategy of clearing the wilderness, slowly, little by little, wear off most of the living force of the swarm, and then launch an attack on the core battleship of the swarm, break the defense in one breath and then defeat it.
The whole process can be described as smooth, in one go, almost all the fleets are grinding blood in the first four hours, just like a level 1 player challenging the final boss, maybe I only lose 1 drop of blood when I hit you, but as long as you can't hit me, I can always consume you.
In the last half hour, when the vanguard of the swarm had been almost destroyed by this tactic, the originally retreating fleet suddenly accelerated, tore through the opponent's tattered defense net, and then directly broke into the battlefield, catching the Zerg mothership is a wild bombardment, and finally won the victory.
At the operational level, it can be described as impeccable. Of course, the only flaw is that the other party did not take into account the existence of the chicken thief when setting up the evacuation, resulting in most of the evacuated transport ships being hacked by the chicken thief, which also caused a certain degree of loss to the fleet......... But overall, considering that this is the first time that the opponent has fought against the Tyranid Swarm, it is really good to be able to fight this one.
"Well, that's good."
After reading the process, Duanmuhuai nodded with satisfaction, the other party's whimsy is still secondary, what Duanmuhuai likes the most is the commander's ability to manipulate several fleets at the same timeβββ you must know that Duanmuhuai initially only gave him a fleet, and then this commander first divided this fleet into four scout formations, and then divided the transport ship into three formations and went to the planet at the same time for evacuation, at the same time, he also needs to lock and predict the direction and location of the swarm army all the time, and seize the favorable opportunity to counterattack......... This is exactly what Duanmu Locust needs.
"That's it, what about this person?"
"Here, her name is Arcot. Marius, is the chief of the Non-Commissioned Officer Academy. β
"It's a woman? Forget it, it's not important, but the chief......... It's not going to be easy, would she want to come? β
"I think it should be fine, because she is from a civilian background, so she has been bullied in the non-commissioned officer academy. In fact, she is now in debt, and I heard that she borrowed money from a loan shark to pay off her tuition, and she can't pay it yet........."
"Huh? I just don't understand what kind of brain circuit this is. β
Hearing Suzume's report, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but be surprised, to be honest, every time he saw a similar scene in an anime game, he always felt incredible. You said that because of the introverted personality and cowardice and poor learning, you were bullied in the past, but as an honor student, it is incredible that you will be bullied, after all, in the era of Duanmu Huai, every top student is the heart of the head teacher, all covered by the teacher, who is not long-sighted to dare to go to those good students for trouble, and was directly cleaned up by the teacher Crying dad and calling mother.
Or have times changed? Now the teacher doesn't even take care of the top students and the head of the academy? So what do you teachers do? Eat dry rice?
"Moreover, according to my investigation, her military advisor level is also the highest in all human beings, but it is LV2."
"Seriously?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai suddenly couldn't sit still, of course he knew that the people in the world of Lingnu could see their level ceiling and talent skills. Among the people Duanmu Huai knew, one of the people with the strongest command ability was the girl Uruze who used to be in a wheelchair in the Seth Kingdom, and her military advisor level was only LV1.
However, this civilian-born Arcot, the military division level is actually LV2?
You must know that skill LV3 is the highest limit, and many people in that world don't even have LV1.
From this point of view, Arcot is indeed worthy of the name of a genius military teacher.
"Bring her over at once......... Forget it, I'll go straight to her! β
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai couldn't sit still anymore.
