125: The Black Raven's way of fighting
At the indoor training ground, Nolan briefly explained the principle of optical camouflage to Yuna, and said:
"By the way, you'll have to do a test with me later."
This time, he came to Yuna, in addition to testing the performance of the optical camouflage component, he also wanted to test the actual combat effect of another set of components in his equipment.
For this reason, he also specially brought two black and white raven masks.
"No problem." Yuna nodded, curious, "What should I do?" β
"You don't need to do anything in particular, just put it on."
Noren puts the Black Raven Mask on his face and gives the White Raven Mask to Yuna.
Yuna put on a mask as she said, and through the "soul link", the five senses of the two began to share.
Then, Nolan had a thought and used "Soul Resonance" to control the equipment on his body.
"Humβ"
The drone mounted on his backpack unfolded a cyan circle in response, and was suspended in the air alone from his backpack.
"This ...... It's also a new piece of equipment that I've never seen before! Yuna looked at the specially-shaped flying disc in amazement.
"Yes, it's the Drone Reconnaissance Component."
Nolan laughed, "It can fly on its own and relay detected information to the controller through soul spells. β
Similar to the principle of the jetpack, the drone is also remotely controlled by "soul resonance" and uses wind spells to fly.
The distance of soul resonance and soul connection is determined by the strength of the caster's mental power, and with the book of omniscience, he has almost no restrictions on the cast distance.
In other words, as long as the mana inside the drone is well stocked, he can remotely control the drone to fly far, far away!
At the same time, in order to allow the drone to gain vision and intelligence, he also deliberately used the remaining knowledge points to ask questions to the Book of Omniscient and All-Knowing, and obtained several special soul spells-
Fourth-Order Soul Spell "Soul Eye": Simulates vision with spiritual power to know the scene of things around you.
Fifth-Order Soul Spell "Spiritual Detection": Use mental power to detect the location of surrounding soul bodies.
Fifth-Order Soul Spell "Hammer of Judgment": Bombards an area with mental power, causing mental damage, stun, and shock to the soul body.
Under Nolan's control, the drone swayed around the indoor training ground before flying outside through an open window.
Originally, he was indoors, and it stands to reason that he couldn't see the outdoors, but with the activation of the drone's "soul eye", he immediately received an image from the drone in his mind:
At this time, there was a squad of knights conducting daily training on the outdoor training ground, and the leader of the team looked younger and more familiar, who was it if it wasn't Julius?
Nolan stared, passed the image in his mind through the soul link, and asked:
"Yuna, can you see that?"
Because this is the picture that the drone sent to him, before he tried it, he was not sure if Yuna could share the perspective of the drone through his "signal relay station".
"Well, I can see that!" Yuna replied in the affirmative, "This perspective...... It's really peculiar. β
The "Soul Eye" uses spiritual power to simulate vision, and since it is a simulation, it is still different from what the real human eye sees.
The most obvious difference is that the soul eye is only barely able to see ordinary objects, and is more sensitive to the target that has a soul body.
Specifically, whether it is the dazzling sun, the brick-red buildings, or the lush woods, they all appear in a dull black and white from the perspective of the eye of the soul.
And when you look at the Knights in the outdoor training ground, because they are all living creatures with soul bodies, they have a distinct red outline under the soul eye.
Against the backdrop of the black and white picture, this red color is so vivid and eye-catching.
Although it looks strange, from the perspective of detecting the enemy, this "netherworld filter" does help him to lock on to the living creatures in the picture earlier.
"I'll put on a show for you."
Noren steered the drone to face the wall of the office building next to it, and then activated the drone's "Psychic Detection" spell.
Quietly, with the drone as the center, a circle of spiritual power fluctuations quickly spread.
Unlike normal elements, psychic power can penetrate ordinary obstacles and walls.
The ripples of the "Psychic Detection" radiate outwards about 200 meters away, detecting all living creatures with soul bodies in this area.
Moreover, this spirit detection wave combines the hidden properties of soul spells.
Julius, who was on the training ground, was also within range of the detection wave, but he still directed the team through their daily training without noticing anything unusual.
This was also expected by Nolan, as was the case when Erich planted the "tracking brand" on him.
If you are not a soul mage or someone with particularly keen mental power, you will not be able to easily detect the fluctuation of soul spells.
"Nine people on the first floor, eleven people on the second floor, seven people on the third floor......"
"Psychic detection" detected the location information and mental strength of the living creatures, and Nolan closed his eyes and analyzed the various information transmitted by the drone.
Although the drone was still facing the empty black and white wall, at that moment, he had already grasped the movements of everyone in the building.
At the same time, the information was transmitted to Yuna's mind through a soul link, and she turned her head to look in the direction of the office building with clear eyes.
At this moment, her gaze seemed to have crossed a wall obstruction, completely locking on the specific location of everyone in the office building.
Of course, this is not really "perspective", but is based on direct positioning at the level of the soul body.
For her, it's a wonderful feeling to lock on to her opponent without vision.
"Is this abstract positioning easy for you to decipher?"
Nolan asked, "I mean, if you have a weapon that pierces through a wall, can you use psychic detection to accurately hit an enemy on the other side of the wall?" β
Yuna came to the window, stretched out her arm towards the administrative building, and aimed it at it as a magic cannon for a while, then nodded in certainty:
"I think it should be possible."
"It seems that there is no deviation in the intelligence information relayed." Nolan nodded in satisfaction, "In this way, my plan can be implemented smoothly." β
"Plan?"
"Hmm." He smiled, "Actually, during this time, I've been thinking about what I'm good at-
"Not just as a protected alchemist, but as a knight, a user of alchemy.
"It's hard to become a transcendent, so you have to use this power to come in handy, right?
"Even if I'm not good at frontal combat, I think I must have something better than others......
"Then I realized that what I was best at was intelligence gathering, pre-battle preparation, and combat command, and at the same time, my mental strength was unusually strong.
So I combined the two, and the end result was it.
"It's not as offensive and mobile as the Valkyrie, but I believe it's the best equipment for me.
"It's not just the head-to-head fight that is all there is to the fight, I'll be the all-seeing eye of my teammates, and I'll be the palm of my opponent's every move."
"And that's me...... It's also how the Black Raven fights. β
Yes, I'm not good at frontal combat, but so what?
dishes, don't practice :)
If you can't afford to lose, open perspective ovo
We are noble legendary alchemists, and noble legendary alchemists have their own superb means of solving problems.
And using his extraordinary mental strength to cast soul spells is the way he has discovered for himself to find a new way to fight.
At the same time, it is also another attempt at his alchemy weapon.
Flamel is about to master the new rune system, and with him becoming a legendary alchemist, the Empire will soon be revolutionizing the magician.
Once the new magic circle is no longer a secret, at that time, it will be rolled up by hundreds of senior peers......
Weapon structures such as individual flying devices, steel nail guns, smoothbore cannons, and even tail stabilized armor-piercing shells that only use low-level commonly used magic arrays will usher in a day when the technology will be cracked sooner or later.
And what keeps him ahead is just that the size of the perfect circle obtained by "projection" is a little smaller than theirs?
Of course, this is not enough to satisfy him, and he has to make breakthroughs in areas that others cannot imitate.
There are also points of breakthrough, what he has revealed to the world is only the new rune system in the elemental realm, and this is not the whole of the new style of magic circle.
For example, you can use special spells to craft alchemy equipment, like the glass shield.
The new rune system may not include how to make a special circle.
Another example is to equip alchemy with soul spells, which is also an extraneous type of spell.
Flamel or the other alchemists, even if they have mastered the new magic circle drawing technique of flying, can only make imitations of the Valkyrie First Machine, which requires manual control of flight with a joystick.
And now the flying device he has made is completely controlled by "Psychic Resonance", and this alone is by no means an advantage that imitators can catch up with!
At the same time, special soul spells such as "Soul Link", "Soul Eye", and "Soul Detection" will also make it extremely easy and fast to obtain and transmit information on the battlefield.
It means that you can gather information about the number and strength of your opponents in advance, and know their exact location on an ongoing basis.
This will allow you to maintain an early strike advantage and tilt the scales of victory before the battle even begins!
Wail! Who can resist such an information-based army?
"That's really...... Incredible! Hearing Nolan's words, Yuna's expression was also excited.
As a fighter, she understood almost instantly how useful this thing was.
None of the equipment Nolen demonstrated was actually lethal, but they were all full of possibilities.
Although she didn't know much about strategic and tactical esoteric issues, she knew that with Nolan's help, at least she would be able to lock people through walls in the future......
It's a good thing to be able to get stronger!
"It'......"
Yuna wanted to ask other questions, but suddenly remembered when the words came to her lips, "By the way, what is the name of this equipment, is it also called Valkyrie?" β
"Nameβ" The casual question stopped Nolan, who hadn't really figured out what his exclusive equipment was called.
At least it will definitely not continue Valkyrie's codename, after all, this is the exclusive equipment of the Black Raven, and its combat style is completely incompatible with the previous Valkyrie equipment.
"Let's call it Sky Banner Equipment." He thought about it for a moment, and finally clapped his mind.
"Sky...... Banner? β
"That's right, it will be an invisible flag floating in the sky, and all the Sky Knights will obey the banner's orders, and as long as the flag does not fall, the battle will be won."
Noren looked at Yuna's expression as if she didn't understand, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "As for what the Sky Knight is, you'll understand it right away." β
Both Fred and Bach, after seeing the power and potential of these new types of alchemy equipment, wanted to learn their manufacturing techniques, and the next step was to mass-produce them.
This is also a matter of course, mass production is a unique advantage of alchemy equipment for transcendentals.
If an alchemy weapon can't be mass-produced, unless it's powerful enough to kill an Eighth-Order or even a Nineth-Order Transcendent, it won't be able to have any fundamental impact on the overall war.
The original war with the steppe people is a good example, and it was not the white ravens that finally defeated the steppe people's troops, but the new magic cannon after the initial mass production.
Originally, considering the mystery of the white raven and the new rune system, and in order to ensure the technological leadership of Valkyrie's equipment, he had been putting the plan of mass-producing new alchemy weapons on the back burner.
However, since Flammel's visit, he has become a legendary alchemist, and the new rune system has been revealed.
At the same time, the wheels of history are inevitably turning forward, and as the next war approaches, Peak City urgently needs a stronger infusion of power.
All this made him realize that it was time to move forward with a plan to mass-produce weapons.
In addition to the plan to cooperate in the development and mass production of the "tank" booked with Flamel, he is also preparing to mass-produce a special equipment that belongs to Peak City -
That is the production model of the telepathic individual flying device, which is called the "Sky Knight Equipment".
Only with the use of psychic technology can the maneuverability and maneuverability of individual aircraft devices be truly regarded as arm-to-arm command and freedom.
With the support of such equipment, the equipment driver can gallop in the blue sky like a real sky knight, and completely conquer the airspace where he passes!
Yes, he intends to set up a special combat squad in Peak City, which he tentatively named the "Sky Knights".
All Sky Knights under the command of the Sky Knights will be proficient in handling flying devices and will fight in aerial combat.
And he will be the sole commander of the Sky Knights, and all the Sky Knights will follow his orders in battle.
And, unlike ordinary armies that use flags, horns, drums, and even shouts to issue orders, he will rely on soul spells to build an information network exclusive to the Sky Knights.
The information he obtains with each Sky Knight will also be shared through this soul network.
This is where the name of his exclusive equipment, the Sky Banner, comes from.
This is also the best way for him to fight as a black raven!
