Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

"It's the earth!"

Griffin Williams emphasized to his officers: "The best armor is the earth!"

In the tent sat his generals and military observers from various countries.

The defected Grand Speaker shared his experiences and conclusions these days without any secrets.

For several months, Griffin, who has long regarded Far Harbor as a potential enemy, has been planning a war against Kant. In addition to the opponent's forbidden spell, his unique alchemy weapons are also extremely difficult to deal with, and the powerful elf expedition force is therefore very difficult to deal with. Bloodshed, Griffin will naturally not despise.

While ordering the top alchemy military center of the council to imitate and manufacture Kant's weapons, he sought and found effective ways to defend against these weapons.

After all, it is the powers that lead the way of the Mortal Arcane Road, and they have really found a lot of solutions.

"Kant's alchemical weapons, to put it more commonly, are divided into explosive and non-explosive weapons. Using the mortal army as an analogy, non-explosive weapons, such as swords, spears, swords, and halberds, are conventional weapons that can be used by individual soldiers. Exploding, like catapults and ballistas, heavy weapons..."

"The principles of the two are actually similar, similar to the bow and crossbow, both of which are 'projecting lethal attack units to the enemy or nearby'. The difference with the bow and crossbow is actually the difference in the delivery method. It's just Kant Its delivery method is far better than the bow’s slightly recurve energy storage, so his firearms have a very long range and can smash armor and meat.

Griffin said this, slowing down his tone.

"If you want to defend and deal with this new type of alchemy weapon, the first thing is..." He spread his hands out, "Spread, don't gather, spread as much as possible."

"In the face of this new type of weapon, the traditional army formation is no longer usable. In the past, our soldiers lined up to fight, protecting themselves with cooperation and quantity, but in the face of this kind of weapon, the denser the soldiers, the faster and faster they died. Plenty—our mages and mages can fend off ballista strikes and neutralize enemy spells, but that’s not enough in the face of terrifying speed and sheer volume.”

"So separate and reduce the killing efficiency of this weapon."

The military talents listening here all showed complicated colors.

People must be dispersed to reduce casualties.

This means that the military formation combat system that has been in use for thousands of years is showing signs of dying out.

They seem to hear the bells of the old age's demise...but where is the new age?

An imperial soldier couldn't help but asked: "Your Excellency the Great Speaker... Our troops are fighting in formation, using dense formations and each other's protection to protect themselves and face the enemy. If they are scattered, they cannot protect each other. Strength will be torn apart, and individual courage will quickly die, so how will we fight in the future?"

The grand speaker smiled and said gently: "In order to face the weapons of the new era, it is necessary and reasonable to disperse soldiers. In addition, weapons and protection must also be improved, and even the quality and courage of individual soldiers. ...everything is going to develop, it's an unstoppable flood."

"It's like a large-scale cavalry entering the battlefield, like a spell cluster that decides the direction of the battle for the first time."

"History tells us that when the times come, we must open our arms and strive to meet them, otherwise we will inevitably be eliminated by time... As for how to meet and adapt, in the next war, our army will prove and show to you, In return for your support for the country you serve."

Hearing this, the soldiers stood up together and saluted the Speaker.

They can all be called the proud sons of heaven, and have their own opinions and opinions. Some people scoff at the statement of the Grand Speaker - the battle formation is the way to win, how can the soldiers spread out? Most of the soldiers came to the army to live for nothing, let them disperse, and run away without a trace in minutes.

Therefore, the military formation must be retained.

As for the defense against alchemical weapons... a stronger shield should be forged.

- But after thinking about it, they will still send this opinion and the remarks of the great speaker back to the country completely, and leave it to the king and the marshals to judge, and they dare not tamper with a word.

Because the one who said this was the monarch and ruler of the Austrian Law Council, the king who stood at the top of the continent, what he said was the authority of authority, and it was not something that these little officers could question.

As long as his ideas and tactics prove effective in the following battles, the new war ideas he developed to target Kant will surely be firmly promoted...

This is the power of authority, and there is no need for repeated dialectics and arguments, because the person who proposed this idea was the sage who was extremely powerful, powerful, and ruled over the powers.

He is not a fragile body of flesh and blood, but a powerful man with wisdom, strength, vision and experience far beyond mortals. For mortals, he is a **** in the world.

Griffin's eyes swept across the crowd and continued: "The soldiers are scattered, just to reduce the enemy's killing efficiency. If you want to give the soldiers courage and strength, you also need to start with their equipment. That is, let them get comparable to the enemy. Weapons, but also give them armor that can withstand enemy attacks."

"The policy and ideas of weapon manufacturing and individual soldier protection have been learned by the Austrian Law Council. We imitated Kant's weapons and developed a protection mechanism for his weapons. This point, in the next fierce battle, all of you will There is a chance to see ... we are also happy to share the manufacturing process with the nations."

The Great Speaker paused and said meaningfully: "The premise is that it is limited to our good friends."

The observers just nodded lightly, this is not a topic they can commit to and stand on.

"But I can still share my thoughts, know-how and ideas here."

The conversation went back to the point Griffin made at the outset.

"The earth, the earth is the best armor."

He posted his sketches on the blackboard: "I think there is a principle that must be resolutely promoted in the whole army in the new era of warfare - dig holes. When soldiers stop, they must dig holes in place."

Immediately afterwards, he pasted a few drawings on the blackboard: "The mountain golem, which has been adjusted to the digger mode by the alchemist, is very good at doing this work. Five months ago, I also ordered the Magic Engineering and Alchemy Manufacturing Department to communicate with The dwarves exchanged technology and purchased the tunneling machinery that the dwarves used to open up underground passages."

"This kind of large magical power machinery is often purchased by mortal countries to dig canals. Now it has a better use. I think every legion should be equipped with at least five."

"Golems, large-scale power machinery, and the Earth Mage Corps, with these assistance and cooperation, a legion can quickly deploy fortifications and build a shield to protect itself."

Observers take shorthand in their notebooks.

"Let's go back to the fortifications I named 'trench', which can almost be used as the most cost-effective armor against Kant's alchemy weapons. Even the strongest armor can't stand up to a meter of soil."

"In the past few months, we have used a huge amount of explosive magic crystals, explosive flame spells and alchemy products to simulate the effect of Kant's weapons, and even asked the bipedal dragon to carry alchemical bombs to simulate an air attack, and demonstrated the defensive effect of the trenches. And improve its structure, which formed the perfect mature structure today."

"When Danfeng Lucerne rushed to the rescue, Kant broke through the seven lines of defense of the Elf Expeditionary Army in one day. We learned from the blood of the Elf Army and summed up the tactics."

"One, Kant's rapid-fire weapon can form a projectile effect, so a simple trench is not effective, and its structure must be improved to defend the overhead when necessary."

"Secondly, Kant is used to launching air strikes, and from the results of the Battle of Danfeng Lucerne, the ground troops are almost powerless to fight back against this death from the air."

"Thirdly, Kant likes to use his heavy weapons in clusters, similar to the joint casting of magicians, and the effect is extremely terrifying. There are about three ways of killing these heavy weapons, one is direct killing, and the other is driven by rapid explosion. Air element bombardment kills, and thirdly, the debris set off kills..."

"Fourth..."

In the past two years, Kant has fought many times on the mainland, and the results of his victories shocked all countries. The kings of all countries secretly feared, and collected information at all costs, including purchasing the wreckage of the battlefield with a lot of money, trying every means to inquire from the survivors... Anyone can realize that Aurora Humans have unprecedented new ways of fighting.

So, how to deal with it?

Griffin has shown his answer sheet to the nations.

"In all fairness, Kant is a great man. I admire his achievements and his strength, but I don't need to fear him. The reason why he has won many battles is more of a surprise, using something we have never seen before. He achieved the goal and ended the battle before we could react, and he has never fought a protracted battle with any enemy."

"And he has a very, very fatal problem."

Speaking of which, the Grand Chancellor glanced at Phaethon, who was hidden in the shadows, and said indifferently: "After several months of inquiries, detection, and spying, we can confirm that the alchemy weapon Kant holds is amazing, but But there is hardly any of the Arcana... all mundane powers."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was shocked, and the observers almost stood up.

- The Dragon of Aurora, which is unique in the world with alchemy, does not have any arcane craftsmanship in its unrivaled alchemical weapon? Just mundane craftsmanship?

"That is to say, the principle is simple and it can be imitated. The reason why it is ahead is only a temporary progress in craftsmanship. Without the Auspicious Moon, it means that there is no element resistance, so it is impossible to carry out a protracted war. That is to say, once The battle is delayed, his weapons and tactics are further analyzed, and he will be at a disadvantage."

"For example. When we used bronze weapons, Kant researched the craftsmanship and created iron weapons, which are sharp and tough, so they can always catch us off guard. But the truth of smelting iron is there, and we know how to use it. The power of magic, after deducing the secret of smelting iron, we can even use the power of magic to strengthen iron swords, improve craftsmanship, and even create enchanted steel weapons..."

The Grand Speaker looked at the various observers whose expressions were changing, and smiled playfully.

"I know that you are deeply afraid of Kant and think that I am bluffing. Isn't that the fact that the decelerating force field shows this? The proud forbidden spell, the invincible alchemy weapon, as long as the speed is weakened, the power will be greatly reduced, You know how fragile things are when it comes to magic."

"And I will prove it to you in this battle."

"Restrained the enemy's speed, used fortification defense to resist its power, used arcane techniques to counter its weapons, and reversely analyzed and deciphered the principles, used alchemy weapons and enchanting techniques to enhance power, and used our long-standing and large-scale arcane techniques. Research the system and learn the wisdom brought to us by the Dragon of Aurora..."

"Aren't you all excited? Are the nations going to sit on the sidelines? Are you monarchs prepared to miss the most important military change in the world?"

"The Austrian Council is willing to share our discoveries, achievements and progress with all our good friends."

"I hope the next battle will dispel your fears of the Aurora people."

Having said this, he stretched out his hand to open the tent.

The gully in the front position, back and forth, extends to the great plain in the distance, and the magic brilliance shines.

The huge war beast pulled the long plow, let out a long roar, and rumbled forward. In front of it, there were several earth mages casting spells and soft soil.

On the other side, powered by the magic core, the complex structure and huge trench digger suddenly turned the circular plough blade and cut deeply into the ground. A large number of golems shuttled around, shovelling tools and digging the soil. Warlocks and apprentices quickly replaced parts and recharged golem maintenance.

There was a roar from the sky, and several bipedal flying dragons worked together to grab a heavy magic tool, swaying, and fell towards the designated position. The Druid below was waving and commanding.

More magic devices and spell positions have been arranged, and spiritual links have been built. The eagle-eyed officers have set up reconnaissance devices to patrol the sky and the earth, and the anti-air defense magic devices have also been set up, guarding the sky, and heavy magic devices. It is being warmly started, ready to be dispatched and carry out long-range strikes at any time.

While the sappers work in the trenches that have been dug, the dwarf artisan is a well-deserved expert, directing the soldiers to reinforce the structure with support structures, petrified scrolls and the Battle of Medusa, and excavate and build medical rooms, command posts, dugouts and supplies Library and other hidden fortifications.

This kind of thing is too familiar to dwarves.

Living in the belly of the mountain and in the underground world, in the bloodiest dark time in the history of the dwarves, the bearded people who fell into the civil war showed no mercy, bloodthirsty and cruelty. The most cost-effective way to kill the enemy was to collapse the tunnel structure and trap the enemy. Inside, kill and bury.

To combat this trick, dwarves' safety awareness and related craftsmanship developed rapidly.

After all, due to the special tunnel structure in the ground, the dwarfs have a lot more fun than the earth people. When they are red-eyed, it is just a matter of time to artificially create seismic waves.

Even now that the civil war is over, the related achievements have been handed down, as the wealth and technological achievements of the dwarves have become part of the dwarf civilization...with the wounds of the old days.

"As you can see, the dwarves are probably the least afraid of Kant."

Griffin said lightly: "When these grumpy friends were killing each other with dragon breathers and alchemy gas in the narrow underground tunnel, we were not born yet."

Several imperial officers among the observers looked at each other and exchanged meaningful glances.

After all, the most traditional and steadfast ally of the dwarves is the Holy Empire.

It was an unexpected surprise.

An observer asked: "Your Excellency the Grand Speaker... Are you building a camp?"

"The way I like to say it is the position."

The great speaker laughed: "This position built by the leading troops is just the beginning, the follow-up troops will cross this position and continue to set up position defense areas in front. In this way, the long fortifications will be spread all the way down to the city of Nar, the latest news. Yes, Mayor Gnar rejected my good intentions, and since that's the case, then pin this army in Goethe's territory and slaughter the city in front of Kant!"

The officers looked at each other with strange expressions.

"I know what's on your mind, young gentlemen, I have never denied Kant's threat and power. The situation is that my troops cannot expand beyond the confines of the deceleration field. Once they are outside the area, Kant The stormy offensive will make them irresistible."

"So, with the deceleration force field as the core, build a large-scale position, follow-up troops advance, and also use the deceleration force field to expand the defense line, and push it to the city of Nar step by step."

He said this in a meaningful tone: "Kant is the biggest challenge in the world. I never thought of driving straight, reaching the far port, and exiling Kant. I just want to break his myth of invincibility and let the countries discover that Kant is not afraid of him. , to re-establish a new order and balance for this continent."

"Now, it's up to Kant if he dares to fight."

At the same time, twenty miles south of Naar City.

"It's almost approaching the range of the deceleration field." Horus said, "I flew around with a drone. Similar to the situation in Turaxia, the diameter of the deceleration field is at least a few kilometers, and it may even be larger. The point is hemispherical, which means that the sky is also within range for a few kilometers, which is very disgusting."

Kant looked and looked with the giant telescope: "This is a **** dream of a war."

"Accurately speaking, it should be at the level of World War II."

Horus replied: "The defensive position constructed by the opponent is obviously not the linear defensive array of World War I, but a defensive network composed of fortifications, bunkers and arrays of long and short-range magic devices in all directions, guarding the centrally protected deceleration force. field agency."

"Regardless of the army and air force, once our army enters the deceleration force field, it will inevitably be hit by multi-level long-range spells, and the weapon system will be interfered by the deceleration force field, and the combat effectiveness will be further reduced... I can't believe that outsiders have such wisdom, Really amazing."

Kant observed for a while, and said in deep thought: "I understand the truth, but it is very far from Naar City. What do you want to do to build a position here? Will you invite me to attack it?"

"The army is nailed to Goethe's territory, and you can't defeat it immediately. It is a blow to your prestige and deterrence. The longer the war drags on, the more popular Goethe will be, and the more countries will be ready to move."

Horus said indifferently: "If you turn a blind eye, then the opponent will most likely take an inch, and use the deceleration force field as a cover to push the position under the city of Nar step by step."

Kant heard the words and said: "He left here to build a tower all the way to my house?"

"Don't you like to do this a lot when you play real-time strategy games?"

"That's why he dared to beat me with my magic, the more **** it!"

Kant snorted twice, and then pondered: "No, this tactic sounds feasible, but the consumption must be huge, even if he has the backing of the Northern Council, this is too..."

"Compared to this, let's think about how to defeat the enemy."

"No hurry." Kant thought for a while, and said, "Goethe is messed up, and he will kill people if he is messed up. If the kingdoms are ready to move, they will be ready to move. If they win, they will be extorted. Griffin seems to want to delay, but he I can't even dream of it, I want to drag it too, if he drags it here for a day, I can drag it out on earth for a week."

"It looks like you have a new homework, sister."

Kant heard the words and laughed: "It's actually quite fun."

He took out his phone and said to Horus, "Put in Oxington for me."

The communication was quickly established, and the respectful voice of the executive rang from the phone: "Sir Duke, I am trying to convince the Tower of All-Seeing to go to the north, but..."

"Continue to work **** this, and I will send you a few photos in a while. Griffin has come to Goethe and is now working as a gopher. I am very interested in some golems and magic tools that dig the ground. If the Tower of All-Seeing If you don’t want to go to war, and want Far Harbor to fight for you, there will always be some blood.”

"Understood, I will arrange it immediately."

"sorry to bother you."

"Should be."

After the phone call, Kant said to Iron Son, "Continue watching here, then mobilize the army and prepare to deploy Nar, I'll go back to Earth to arrange homework."

Horus was stunned: "Don't you launch a tentative attack?"

"Attack for what? Not being fully prepared, and failing after a hasty attack will only be embarrassing."

After speaking, Kant opened the door of phase and disappeared from the mortal world without a trace.

Earth.

"Colonel Tian, ​​the airship proposed last time, I wonder if you have considered it?"

"Comrade Kant, let me take a look... Well, there is a report here, saying that it is theoretically feasible, and there is no problem in building a temporary one at our industrial level, but the research center is asking whether to do it, after all, it is just a solution. Thinking, if you want to test whether this attack method will cause enough threat and damage to the Titans, you don't need to build an airship, just do a computer simulation..."

"Oh, so, how much does it cost to build one? Is there an evaluation?"

"This...because of the lack of mature technology and quality control, the expected quotation is about 50 million yuan, including the required weapons and ammunition costs."

"You can make it with money, right?"

"Yeah... eh wait, shouldn't you have to pay for it yourself?"

"No, I'll call you later."

After Kant finished speaking, he dialed another number, and said in the more fluent English that he has been studying in the past few months: "You American emperors are not good, what about the strong army you promised? How can you even pack a Titan? No, how about, consider my plan?"

"What, you can't build airships? Oh, no wonder, I heard that you cut off the manufacturing industry yourself, but that's a small matter. We can build it by dismantling it. How about it? It only sells for 50 million US dollars, what a cabbage. price."

"It's much cheaper than F22 and F35, and you can quote 80 million US dollars, and we will get 37 cents for the extra money. Do you think it's a hoot? Hello? Hello?"
