Chapter 583
"I didn't expect it to be surprisingly smooth!" When Gu Yi received the news directly from Lian Nishang, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
I have to say that in the Purple Gold Continent, the existence of airships can almost be regarded as a BUG!
As far as Gu Yi himself is concerned, when the airship reaches its highest altitude, it is close to 1,600 zhang (about 5,000 meters)! And the highest limit of the heaven and earth aura that Gu Yi can mobilize is only 1,000 zhang (about 3,000 meters)!
In other words, when the airship is at its highest altitude, even the Supreme Grand Master can basically only stare dryly!
Of course, this does not mean that the airship is invincible!
Gu Yi's 'Howling Heaven' once made a detailed calculation of the airship troops, and found that with today's capabilities, the best combat altitude of the airship is up to 300 zhang, that is, less than 1,000 meters! Those small airships, which are like single-man planes, have a maximum combat altitude of no more than 100 zhang, that is, about 300 meters. At this height, individual archery masters can even threaten it!
However, at such a distance, it is enough to face a normal situation. With the current scientific and technological capabilities of the various races in the Purple Gold Continent, there is no way to harm such a distance and height in most cases. But in the face of the BUG-like existence of the Supreme Grand Master, it is still far from enough!
At least Gu Yi himself was confident that as long as he could control the spiritual power of heaven and earth, these airships were almost turtles in the urn!
Fortunately, except for Gu Yi's command, very few people set their sights on the sky!
Before the appearance of the airship troops under Gu Yi's command, there had never been an attack in the history of the Purple Gold Continent that came directly from the sky! This made many people take it for granted that there could be no attack from high altitude!
Even the barbarians, a race that relies on the communication of the Messenger Eagle, generally only glance up when the Eagle's voice is chirping, and most of the time just listen to the sound!
As a result, Lian Nishang led this airship force, although the speed of flight was much slower than the rapid march on the ground, but it still successfully broke away from the territory of the northern barbarians and returned to the territory of the human race.
In the whole operation, except for the people involved, only a very small part of the people of 'Howling Heaven' knew about the situation, and the rest didn't even know that there was such an attack.
"It's a pity that this operation can't be made public, otherwise it can definitely deal a major blow to the barbarian race!" Gu Yunniang said with some emotion.
As Gu Yi's own sister, she is more than just a vase. In the days of training in the 'Hundred Treasure Pavilion', Gu Yunniang's ability has made great progress. Whether it is vision or judgment, it belongs to the top existence of the Purple Gold Continent.
"There are advantages and disadvantages in everything, and you can't let you take advantage of all good things alone!" Gu Yi smiled, he didn't care much about these, "Now our flight team needs absolute secrecy, and we can't lose a big one because of a small one!"
"Got it, got it. Gu Yunniang didn't have such scruples about her eldest brother, waved her hand impatiently, pouted and said, "I don't know how bad my eldest brother is!"
"You. Gu Yi smiled bitterly, but there was not much he could do.
In the Purple Gold Continent, Gu Yi and his family looked at everything from an outside-out perspective. Whether it is his wife's subordinates, his parents in this life, or even Gu Yi's children, Gu Yi can face each other calmly.
Only Gu Yunniang's younger sister gave Gu Yi an unprecedented feeling.
In his previous life, Gu Yi had no brothers and sisters, and he had wives and children when he traveled through various planes, so he had already seen this kind of relationship.
Only Gu Yunniang gave Gu Yi the feeling and experience of so-called existence!
For this sister in this life, Gu Yi spoiled him quite excessively! Even Gu Father and Gu Mother had never been so indulgent as Gu Yi!
Therefore, in this plane, only Gu Yunniang can talk to Gu Yi so unscrupulously, there will be no abnormality!
In the process of Gu Yi's identity gradually growing, the people around Gu Yi became more or less cautious. Gu's father and mother also have a lot of scruples, not to mention that Gu Yi's wives themselves are very respectful to Gu Yi!
In terms of family affection, although Gu Yi's children respect and get close to Gu Yi, they are also afraid of Gu Yi's authority, and they are not as unscrupulous as Gu Yunniang!
Therefore, by Gu Yi's side, Gu Yunniang is an absolutely special person!
Almost everyone knows that as long as Gu Yunniang does not involve the big mistake of betraying Gu Yi, she will definitely not fall out of favor in front of Gu Yi again!
Just as Gu Yi and Gu Yunniang were talking in the big tent, the barbarian king Salton, who was sitting in the 'Scarlet Fortress', also received a secret letter from Oaks.
"Smack!" Salton couldn't help but slap the table in front of him into powder after reading the secret letter.
"Barbarian King?!" At the bottom, the subordinates who were still drinking and having fun looked at Salton with ugly faces in amazement, and asked cautiously.
At this moment, the big tent, which was still full of laughter and singing and dancing, fell into a deathly silence.
"It's okay!" Salton relieved himself, glanced at his subordinates, casually threw the secret letter in his hand into the brazier, and tried to make a nonchalant tone.
"Yes......" The crowd looked at each other, and then the singing and dancing and laughter rang out again.
It's just that everyone knows that the barbarian king Salton just now will definitely not be as simple as he understated. It's just that the barbarian king Salton doesn't say it, but they don't dare to ask no matter what!
"Report~~~~" Just when everyone was carefully preparing to restore the previous atmosphere, a herald with an extremely ugly face rushed in, half-knelt in front of the barbarian king Salton, and said in a deep voice, "Qiqi barbarian king, there is information coming. Prince Oss and his command of a million barbarian warriors...... Annihilation!"
"What!?" After hearing the news, everyone in the entire big tent exploded.
"It can't !!"
"Prince Oss is so talented, how can he be wiped out with his subordinates?!"
"It's fake news!" ......
"Shut up!" Salton let out a dull roar, and the tent fell silent again.
"Is the news confirmed?!" Salton asked, looking at the herald.
"The news is confirmed!" said the herald, with his head bowed, not daring to look at Salton's gaze, "and when we receive the news, we will send someone to investigate. But I found ......"
"Found what?!" Salton asked, frowning, with an unkind look.
"But I found that the heads of Prince Oss and the millions of barbarians under his command were built by the human race into hundreds of Jingguan ......."
There was a deathly silence in the tent of ".....".
Jingguan is the first product of the human race to 'invent' a kind of power. That is, to cut off the enemy's head and build it into a pyramid-like situation.
The kind of scenery with all human heads can be a good way to intimidate the enemy and give the other party a heavy psychological blow!
At the beginning, Jingguan was first 'invented' by the Taizu of the Terran Purple Gold Empire! At that time, the Terran army swept through the Purple Gold Continent and suppressed and drove all races. The barbarians, as the race that resisted the most fiercely and gave the greatest loss to the human race, were put out of the capital for the first time after a major defeat.
After that, the barbarians also learned this method, and after the large-scale defeat of the Terran team, they also posed for this kind of Jingguan.
Because this was extremely cruel and disrespectful to the people who died in battle, in the later years, the various ethnic groups gradually developed a tacit understanding that they would not easily put on a view of the capital.
After all, this kind of behavior works well, and it is to deter and intimidate the enemy. If it doesn't work well, it will provoke the anger of the other party, which will backfire!
In the continuous battle between the human race and the barbarian race for thousands of years, it has been a long time since there has been such a thing as Jingguan!
Now, the barbarian tribe that invaded the hinterland of the human race in the south has been put out of the capital by the human race after the defeat, which shows the seriousness of it!
However, this will not have much impact on Salton, after all, they have penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Terrans this time, and it is actually normal for them to be shocked by the Terrans once they fail! Although Jingguan is a little too cruel, Salton also has to admit that after defeating his own barbarian race, this kind of intimidation will be extremely effective!
What really weighed Salton's weight was the loss of Oss and his men!
In the history of the barbarian race, there has never been a situation of total annihilation!
Even if you lose a big defeat in a certain battle, you will escape from some of the elite later, so that everyone will not be defeated and killed!
In terms of the degree of battle damage, the loss of a million barbarians is not too serious in the eyes of the barbarians!
In fact, because the Purple Gold Continent is too rich in products, the fertility rate and survival rate of the barbarian race are also quite high, and the population has always been not a worry but a burden for the barbarians!
I used to go south every once in a while to fight against the Terrans, largely deliberately depleting the surplus population, rather than really hoping for any big results!
The success of this unexpected southern invasion was just too many coincidences, and it could only be regarded as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that they seized.
What Salton really cares about is how the Terrans have completely annihilated their million-strong barbarian army!
You must know that in the battles of the past nearly 10,000 years, the barbarian race has not suffered major defeats, and the loss of millions has also occurred repeatedly. But like now, all the people who died in the hands of the local government after the first war have never appeared!
Salton had to worry that in the future battle, the Terrans would inflict the same damage on the Barbarians, and that was the real problem!
As mentioned above, the barbarians always use war to sharpen their warriors, remove the inferior and retain the good, and constantly delete the warriors in the barbarian race in the battle with the human race.
Failure is not a big problem in the eyes of the barbarians! As long as they survive, they are capital, and they will have a future to continue!
In the minds of the barbarian race, those who can survive a big war will be elites! After all, those who can survive a big war, especially a losing war, have absolute combat experience! In the future, when facing the same problem, it is very likely to find a solution!
The barbarians do not despise the losers, only the weak and the cowardly!
This is a concept formed by the barbarian race for thousands of years, and it is also the fundamental reason why the barbarian race is still the enemy of the human race!
An enemy who is not afraid of defeat, who does not admit defeat, and who can survive every defeat is definitely the most difficult enemy! Because they will sum up every defeat, they will make the victor have fewer and fewer means, so that one day the winner will fail because of the lack of donkey skills!
Based on this situation, the barbarians never despise defeat, only the weak and the weak!
From this point on, Oss's original obsession with the record of total victory was more of a show-off and unrealistic pursuit, rather than the concept and character of the barbarians themselves!
What Aus was pursuing was the so-called 'unprecedented feat' in the history of the barbarians!
Judging by the results, there are 'unprecedented', but the so-called merit ...... Blame for the huge failures instead!
Salton didn't really feel much about Oss's death. Every year, there are so many excellent sons of the barbarian royal family, which one of them will become the barbarian king in the future, and there is no shortage of this kind of 'heir' barbarian race!
What's more, Salton was in his prime, and he didn't like to have a so-called 'heir' by his side so soon, which made him not very comfortable.
Now the most vocal Oss soldier was defeated and killed, but it was even more worthy of Salton's heart!
It's just that...... Salton is very concerned about how Oss and his men were wiped out!?
According to the previous example, even if Oss was defeated, he could escape with the help of his cronies and elite men. As long as you return to the grassland and regroup, and have the ability to pull out another team, even if you compete for the position of Barbarian King in the future, there will be no problem!
But now, Oss actually died with his own men, which is definitely not a normal phenomenon!
Not to mention whether Oss has this kind of courage and determination, even his subordinates will definitely not let an elite child of the royal clan of the barbarian race die on the battlefield so easily!
Under the strict hierarchy of the barbarians, the status of the members of the royal clan is really out of reach compared to the ordinary barbarians!
Under normal circumstances, there would never be a situation where the leader of the royal clan did not escape, but the ordinary barbarians under his command escaped! Once such a thing happened, those ordinary barbarians who were supposed to protect the royal clan would be held responsible, and even their families and even the entire clan would be affected!
Therefore, in the vast majority of cases. They are all children of the royal family who were desperately saved by the low-level barbarian warriors under their command!
In the recorded history of the barbarian race, there has almost never been a situation like this in which a royal family and his subordinates died in battle! Even if there have been so many times in history, there have been many accidents and coincidences, and it is not this kind of situation of being directly annihilated!
Salton needs to know if this situation in Oss is an accident or if the Terrans can be the result of this!
If it's just an accident, it's nothing. It's just that the benefits gained by the southern invasion are less, and the losses are greater, and although the barbarian race has suffered heavy losses, they can afford to lose them!
But if it's deliberate...... That's not good news!
