Chapter 204: Investigation and Preparation

The combination of the undead army, the undead giants' ability to regenerate is incredible, and the undead humanoids' ability to manipulate the stone seat under their feet after death makes up for the slower speed of the undead.

But it also looks like it.

The undead have a fixed and irreparable weakness, light and fire.

In the battle of the Gilded Valley, because the dragon army carried all Yuan magnetic arrows, and the troops mobilized to attack the fortified were all elven roaming archers, so they would look pale and powerless in front of the undead giants.

But then, after confirming the composition of the army of the Delos Empire, how could Midi continue to equip the dragons with these equipment that was not in the right mouth? No, not only to change the equipment, but even the composition of the troops, Midi would adjust it.

This is something that every competent battlefield commander is bound to do.

After replacing all the dragons' equipment with blessed silver weapons, carrying the holy water to dispel the undead, and then mobilizing a group of paladins and blue fist holy envoys, whether it is an undead humanoid master or an undead giant, as long as it is an undead, Midi can easily bulldoze it.

Of course, there is also the possibility that the Imperial Alchemist Guild has created undead golems that are not afraid of fire and holy light and have no weaknesses.

Unfortunately, in the twenty years between the burning of the Glen Forest and the death of Midi, this dream of the necromancer was never realized.

In this life, even if there is a butterfly effect, Midi does not think that Wiseman can do this.

Otherwise, there would be no need to fight over the West Coast. If the empire has undead spirits with no weaknesses in its hands, it can find a few ancient battlefields and ruins at will, hold back millions of undead, and then use the sea of undead to directly push the entire Arad continent, even if it is a falcon group, it will definitely not be able to resist.

It is clear that the Empire's army of the undead is still very fragile, and if it is targeted, it will quickly disappear.

How could the famous "Hand of Nightmares" Wiseman Newton, a necromancer who knew nothing more about the undead, bet the future of the empire on these undead and adopt such flawed tactics?

Midi didn't believe it, so he had to check it himself, and he had to confirm it with his own eyes.

Soon, an elite team of dragonmen, led by Midi himself and guided by Xie Na, appeared in a tribal gathering place of humanoid divisions.

This gathering place was attacked by the Delos Empire only half a day ago, and it was not Wiseman himself who led the team, but he was also a capped necromancer who had reached level 50.

The necromancer didn't use any advanced tactics, but directly let his undead attack from the front.

In the face of the undead with strong regenerative ability, the humanoids' methods have little effect, whether it is throwing spears or poisoning blow arrows that they are best at, they lack striking power for monsters that have already died.

While the humanoid master struggled to support him, the necromancer used the skill of the Hundred Ghosts to walk nocturnally, allowing the scarabs to burrow into the flesh and blood of the humanoid one by one, and devour their souls directly.

So, halfway through the battle, the enemy who fought to the death became the closest comrade-in-arms in an instant. The newly transformed Necromancers, along with their lifeless and self-aware patriarchs, became part of the Necromancer's army, and then staggered on a new journey.

A very simple and straightforward battle.

But Midi saw a very obvious strangeness in it.

"Looting everything and destroying the traces is not the style of an army of the undead, this is simply the style of bandits. Walking among the ruins of the ruins, Midi said coldly.

"Maybe it's because of the weapons?" Xie Na pondered for a moment and speculated, "Many of the skills of the humanoid masters need to rely on their weapons to be used, so those Imperial people will take things together?"

After a few months of getting along, she went around the Arad continent again, and now, this intelligent female dragon warrior no longer calls humans "humans", she not only uses her name to refer to these acquaintances around her, but also has a lot of understanding of the distribution of different forces on the continent.

And the term "Delos Empire" is undoubtedly the one that Xie Na remembers the most, because it is the biggest and strongest enemy that she and Midi will face.

Midi listened to Xie Na's analysis, but only shook his head: "Even if you want to take away the weapon, there is no need to make such a mess, and there is no need to wipe out all traces of plunder with a fire before leaving, there is no doubt that Wiseman is afraid that he is looking for something." ”

Midi was looking for Akashi, and in order to disguise this, he attacked all the ore veins, and carried out rough large-scale mining, even if he was extremely understaffed, he still had to be tough, in order to release a large smoke bomb to avoid his strategic thinking from being guessed.

And now, seeing the messy camp, Midi knew that Wiseman was doing the same thing.

On the surface, he snowballed through the tribes in order to pull up a large army of the undead, but in reality, he was looking for or collecting something.

In order to avoid being discovered by the attentive people, he let these desireless undead plunder everything at every turn, and finally lit a fierce fire, burning all the gathering points of the elemental giants and humanoids, making it more difficult to decipher the cocoon.

These cover-ups alone were enough for Midi to confirm his assumptions.

It's just that, the most critical point, Midi has never found an answer.

What is Wiseman Newton, the "hand of nightmares", collecting?

While thinking about it, the magic communication bracelet on Midi's wrist vibrated slightly, and when he looked at it, there was only a short line of text on it: "The mission on the island is complete." ”

"Retreat. When he saw this line, Midi decisively gave an order, "Xie Na, you continue to keep an eye on these necromancers, I must go back once." ”

Understanding the enemy's tactics is indeed the most orthodox tactical thought.

But there is one more important thing than this, and that is to enhance one's own strength.

The mission on the island is completed, which means that the development of the two-seater airship on Deep Rock Island has ended, and Midi, who has great expectations for this kind of flying vehicle, naturally wants to go back as soon as possible to see if the airship that showed its might in the previous life can become his biggest trump card in this life.

After handing over everything at hand, Midi immediately passed through the rift and returned to Deep Rock.

Nowadays, the battle between the Falcon and the Empire has become close to white-hot, and the Three Towers are still in the sea of trees, the two sides are testing each other, and occasionally clash once, but on the west coast, fierce naval battles break out almost every day.

Deep Rock Island, as the location of one of the most stable rifts, the main base of the Hayabusa Regiment, has long since been transformed.

Relying on the power of magic and the work of the technical department, several deep-water docks were built in a short period of time, as well as a large dock for repairs, and several production lines were working at full capacity, desperately producing ironclad battleships.

From the commanding heights of the island, you can see that the endless sea is full of ironclad fleets of falcons, they are like schools of sharks, cruising back and forth on the sea, once they find the invading enemy, they will swarm up, with powerful artillery fire and fierce collision, the enemy is completely reduced to debris.

More often than not, these fleets were under the orders of Wells and Kelvin, taking the initiative to hunt the enemy.

At the same time, under Norton's auspices, the alchemy factory has become a veritable giant alchemy base, with laboratories, testing grounds, workshops and parts assembly lines.

In addition, a wind tunnel was built to test the airship.

Wind tunnel is a kind of giant pipeline building that can artificially generate and control air flow to simulate flight conditions, and is the most commonly used and effective tool for aerodynamic testing.

And when Midi came here, he was surprised to see a small airship parked at the entrance of the wind tunnel.

The airship is six meters long and has a streamlined overall appearance, with a silvery-white surface made of Mithril light alloy, resembling a dolphin about to leap. There are no wings, only a pair of extremely short front fins, underneath which are hidden rollers for take-off and landing, and two muzzles protruding from the front section, which look like shark fangs.

The airship stopped there quietly, and it already gave people a strong sense of speed, like a flying knife, as long as it was flicked lightly, it would be like lightning, breaking through the void.

"Well, this little guy is nice, isn't it?" Norton's voice broke the silence of the air. Seeing Midi staring straight at the airship, the alchemy master knew that he had impressed this extremely demanding genius commander.

"Very nice. Midi was honest about her feelings.

"We have made the Sky Ring filled with air liquid into the shape of a long tube, which is placed in the tail fin to generate maximum thrust, and there are six rapid-fire cannons hidden on both sides of the front fin as a basic weapon, there is enough space in the belly to hang torpedoes or bombs for mass destruction, and we have installed a detection circle on the head of the airship, which can lock on to the enemy in a high-speed flight state. ”

Norton had been holding back for a long time, and now that the most important audience member had arrived, he naturally grabbed the foam and began to introduce it.

And then Wells also interjected, and said proudly: "The shape of this artwork was designed by me, and it fully meets the highest requirements of wind tunnel experiments, and at the same time has a strong sense of beauty, Mr. Midi, what do you think?"

"Very good. Once again, Midi honestly expressed her feelings, and then asked a question, "But why does it have only one seat?"

Midi is very sure that he originally came up with the concept of a "two-seater airship".

A pilot, an attacker, the two work together to fight in the air. Two people, this is the smallest concept of air combat in the previous life.

Norton smiled, looked at Wells in tacit understanding, and then replied in a categorical tone: "Of course, this airship, oh no, Pioneer ship, only one person is enough!"
