Chapter 163: Battle Array

The snow melts, everything recovers, and the town of the Northland finally ushers in spring.

Off the coast of Maple Grove Bay, a fleet is sailing through the wind and waves. In the sky above the fleet, a huge airship hovered over the head of the fleet.

On the airship, Jimmy and Mensado are pointing at the huge chart in front of Neo,

Jimmy pointed to the islands on the chart and said, "Lord Neo, these islands are far away from the shipping route, and the area is also very large, the islands are rich in fresh water and wild things, and the terrain is also very complex, with mountains, forests and river valleys, which are very suitable for our drill this time." ”

Mensadore also said on the side: "The war against the Abyss Demons has always been fought by us, and this island is suitable for us to camp and fight in the wilderness as the defender. ”

After saying this, Jimmy retracted his hand, he unconsciously stroked the black ring on his finger, as the commander of the troops, Jimmy wore a conspicuous space ring on their hands.

This is after Neo brought it back from the Rubik's Cube, he asked Enroth to make a few spatial rings and send them to the commanders around him.

Jimmy's eyes looked at the troops below the airship, stroking the ring on his fingers, and a surge of pride welled up in his chest.

Such an important strategic resource and large army are now in his hands, and his lifelong wish has been fulfilled, if he can't come up with a proud record, how can he be worthy of Neo's grace and his own life's ambitions.

With all the things in the town starting to get on track, Tina put down her chores and began to dive into the Splitting Light and Shadow Technique.

Hathaway and Enroth take Rebecca to build the Mage Tower, while the Hodak brothers and Alonso patrol the town and help the mercenaries solve their problems.

Neo then freed his hands and led the troops to start the actual combat exercise.

The arrival of Enlos also brought more surprises to Neo.

In this world of swords and sorcery, human magic technology, goblin engineering technology, and dwarven steam technology together form the light of science and technology in this world.

Among them, the magic technology of human beings is mainly carried and developed by alchemists.

Many of the equipment used on the battlefield came from the Alchemist school, such as the Megatron Megaship, the powerful and furious Magic Mech, and the versatile War Golem.

After the arrival of Enroth, the town immediately organized people to start manufacturing these war machines, although it was not yet possible to create strategic-level weapons such as magic energy giant ships, but ordinary small arms, with the current strength of Maple Grove Town, were already capable of manufacturing.

Originally, it was impossible for a territory like the Frost Moon Territory to have war equipment, but Neo's armament was unprecedentedly strong, and all kinds of resources were also available, and the arrival of Enroth filled the gap in the Frost Moon Territory.

The Dark Light Shadow Mist that Neo got from Fidel was also an alchemy product, and in the past, Neo had no way to make it and no one would make it, but now the arrival of Enroth came in handy.

However, there are a lot of materials needed to craft the Dark Light Shadow Mist, and several of them are unique to the Dark Elves and need to be collected from the City of Chaos.

This battlefield weapon is far from being used in the current town, and Neo can only put them aside for the time being, and then find a way to make them when the right time arises in the future.

This also inadvertently frustrated the calculations of the Marquis of Billingbayr, who almost gritted his teeth with hatred after learning that Neo and the others did not go to the City of Chaos, but he could only secretly find another opportunity.

Neo straightened his sword and said, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you, and I'll be a small soldier under your command." ”

After saying that, he jumped down and joined the troops below.

On the airship, Count Fabilas and Bloomberg and others watched intently

The fleet came to the sea on the edge of the island, lowered the boat, and pulled the troops onto the island.

The army of 30,000 men was divided into two teams, led by Jimmy and Mensado.

Jimmy took 15,000 soldiers of the Snowfront Legion, Mensador brought 10,000 soldiers of the Cult of Light and 5,000 soldiers of the Snowblade, and the two teams each set foot on two small islands and began to set up camp.

At this time, it was getting late, and the soldiers, under the leadership of their respective commanders, began to set up camps.

In the center of the camp was erected a large spire, and on the four sides of the large curtain, four flagpole-like minarets were erected, and a huge eyeball hung on the top of the minaret.

The minaret glowed with magic in the dim sky, and the eyeballs at the top of the spire rolled around, observing in all directions.

Several magic kites rose above the camp to circling and patrolling, and the Invisible Eye and the Magic Kite were both the works of alchemists, connecting the main general's barracks in the center of the camp.

The magic shadow wall in the main general's barracks can clearly reflect everything detected by the magic kite and the invisible tower, greatly reducing the chance of the enemy sneaking up.

The walls of the camp were built with trees cut down by the soldiers, which gave the camp a somewhat shabby look.

However, if you are on a real battlefield, the walls around the camp are built by earth mages using magic and some specific items, and the fortifications are strong and difficult to defend.

Mensadore had just built the camp when Jimmy attacked it with his men.

Two small war golems were quickly assembled on the beach, driven by the magic gems, the war golems took a slow step, two circular saws stretched out from their shoulders to cut down large trees,

The branches and leaves of the large tree were quickly removed, one end was sharpened into a sharp shape, and the thicker body of the tree was cut off into large blocks of wood for projection.

The war puppet slowly crouched down, and the metal body changed for a moment, turning into a projector.

The puppet picked up the thick trunk and put it into the spring, and as the spring bounced open, the trunk shot like a huge arrow towards Mensado's camp.

War puppets are a very mature tool of war, and after years of war tempering, these war puppets have long become indispensable and important equipment on the battlefield.

They are made up of metal skeletons that are easy to assemble and disassemble, and are divided into giant, large, medium, and small golems according to their size.

They can both help armies dig and build fortifications, and they can also participate in warfare against the enemy as war machines.

Count Fabilas and others knew the importance of war puppets, so as soon as Enroth joined the town, they urged Neo to build a few no matter what.

Enroth lived up to his expectations and hurriedly built five small war golems, which were immediately put into use during the exercise.

At this time, the role of the high-level cultivators in the team was immediately manifested.

As the commanders of the Great Knight Realm, they command the soldiers to form battle formations to defend against the flying arrows, and use their own cultivation to buy more time and space for the soldiers.

Mensadore immediately sent a commander to protect the soldiers and buy time for the soldiers to assemble the war puppets.

Soon, the small war puppets were assembled,

After a while, the arms of the battle puppet in Mensadore's camp changed into a cylinder, and a cloud of black ejected from the cylinder.

These things flew into the air and exploded all at once, like fireworks set off on a festive day.

These fireworks envelop a wide area, and the four-shot fireworks cool and condense into huge flowers in the air.

The branches of the flowers became entangled together and formed a huge net of branches to stop the arrows shooting from the opposite side, and the arrows fell to the open space between the two sides.

The War Golem fires the "Entangled Entanglement", which is used against stones fired by small catapults.

The war golems on Jimmy's side changed shape again, and the steel armor on their chests opened, revealing a beehive-like trap inside.

Then, arrows rained down from these hives.

The archer also drew his longbow and attacked in line with the attack of the war puppet.

The rest of the soldiers, under the cover of bows and arrows, began to advance.

Menzado hurriedly ordered, and the fireworks fired by the war golems turned into cobwebs, which swirled in the air, stopping the dense barrage of arrows.

This is a "catch in one" and is specially designed to deal with the enemy's arrows.

Attaching sharp barbs to these nets can also be used against cultivators who have risen into the air, and are the most common weapons on the battlefield.

Menzado's archers also began to attack, firing at each other to block the charge of the opposing soldiers.

At this time, under the command of Jimmy, his soldiers gradually approached Mensadore's camp,

At the same time, his small war golem changed form again, with huge wings sticking out of his shoulders, made of thin steel sheets to fend off flying arrows, and the soldiers hid under the steel wings of the war golem and rushed forward.

As it was already dark, Jimmy's high-ranking archers were dispatched, and their magic arrows broke through the cobwebs thrown by the war golems and shot straight at the magic kites hovering above the camp and the eyeballs on the Hideaway Tower.

Mensadore could only divide a few commanders to increase the defense, which made the high-level cultivators in front of him suddenly decrease, and the soldiers became more and more passive.

Mensado lost the lead at the beginning, was suppressed by Jimmy, and then remained on a passive defense, and finally messed up.

When Jimmy saw this, he immediately ordered a charge, and tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison and rushed towards Mensado's camp like a huge wave.

Neo led a small squad mixed in with the large army and rushed forward.

Mensadore was under the five thousand soldiers of the Holy Sect of Light, the elite of the town's army, and even in the face of such a passive situation, he did not panic.

However, the other five thousand Xuefeng soldiers and the light soldiers cooperated for the first time, and they seemed quite rusty, and Mensado's fighting spirit broke out, and a loud voice resounded throughout the battlefield: "Brothers, don't panic, each defend according to the squad." ”

Mensado's voice calmed the soldiers a lot, and they began to organize their defenses as they had done on a daily basis.

The two sides quickly engaged, Neo took the lead, and the light soldiers who were attacked by him fell down and lost their combat effectiveness, but the soldiers behind immediately filled up,

Although Neo is strong, in the face of a steady stream of soldiers, Neo also feels that no matter how strong he is, he is powerless in the face of an ocean of troops.

This is only a combat exercise on the scale of 20,000 people, and if you are facing a real 100,000-million-level war, the role of the individual is even smaller.

Moreover, in a real war, even if you want to kill the opponent's ordinary soldiers with impunity with your personal cultivation, it is difficult to do so.

In addition to the battle formation that the other party has to deal with cultivators, there are also corresponding cultivation powerhouses, and there will be no situation where high-level cultivators wantonly kill ordinary soldiers.

Count Faberas and others repeatedly warned Neo that in war, individual cultivation is completely inadequate, and only a strong team is the only one that can be relied upon.

It was the first time for Neo to experience such a scene, which made him finally have a more intuitive understanding of war, and also understood the position of cultivators in war.

In the academy, Neo also learned some courses in commanding battles, but the Dragon's Roar Knight Academy focuses on the cultivation of force between individuals and the combat command skills of the adventure squad.

In terms of command skills in real war, the Dragon's Roar Academy is more than a little worse than the Glory Mission Academy of the Ice Sun Empire.

Jimmy's command skills opened Neo's eyes, and in the following time, the two sides exchanged positions and practiced almost all the battle formations and offensive and defensive strategies that could be used.

After observing for a few days, Neo found that there were similar battle formations in the Star Soul Sect.

In the cultivation realm, in addition to the wars between sects where monks fight each other, many sects also cultivate their own combat teams.

These teams have the lowest-level bean sprinkling soldiers, this kind of bean soldiers are only a little stronger than ordinary people, they are low in the eyes of cultivators, but they have no thoughts, no feelings, and they are not afraid.

They are generally used as cannon fodder to wear down opponents, and this is the most common type of troops in many weak sects.

The slightly more advanced ones are the rune paper soldiers, who also have no thoughts and feelings, but they can perform some low-level spells and martial arts under the control of spells, and can already pose a threat to the monks.

A little more advanced is the Soul Refining Ghost Soldier, the Soul Refining Ghost Soldier is refined by a dead cultivator,

Their souls have been refined, leaving only the instinct of battle and part of their cultivation,

The stronger their cultivation during their lifetime, the more powerful the ghost soldiers they refined.

The refining method of the ghost soldier is also very complicated, and it also needs to be supplemented by a lot of precious materials, and these methods are often the secret of a sect.

Of course, one pays and one returns, and the powerful soul refining ghost soldiers can fight against real monks!

And the most powerful and high-level are the Heavenly Dao Divine Soldiers, these Dao soldiers have been carefully cultivated by the sect since they were young.

Their minds have been pruned by the sect, and only the loyalty to the sect and the instinct to fight remain. Their thoughts are highly unified, and their cultivation is also the same kind of exercise, and hundreds of thousands of Dao soldiers fight like one person, and they are the nemesis of monks who are used to fighting alone!

Whether it was the lowest-level bean-sprinkling soldier or the most powerful Heavenly Dao Divine Soldier, the sect had prepared many powerful battle formations for these soldiers.

These battle formations are also suitable for the war on the Dongsheng Continent, and the battle formation of the Star Soul Sect has been practiced for hundreds of millions of years, and the subtleties and mysteries in it have far exceeded the scope of ordinary battle formations, and some of the subtleties in them are comparable to the evolution avenue of the world, and the changes in killing the enemy are simply worlds apart from the formations on the Dongsheng Continent.

Although the soldiers in the town are still far from reaching the fighting quality of the Dao soldiers, if they practice the sect battle formation well, then it will not be an unrealistic fantasy to dominate the world in the future.

After returning to the town, Neo turned his mind and began to look for a suitable battle formation in the remnants of the Star Soul Sect.

After this exercise, Jimmy also went from talking on paper in the past to really commanding several battles.

He lived up to what he had learned, and even though the drill seemed child's play in the eyes of the true god of war, Jimmy's command skills were far superior to those of the rest of the town.

Everyone recognized his commanding skills, and the town's army was no longer a group of stragglers.
