MTL - Heroes of Silver Moon-Chapter 715 : First half (4)
Another morning, the rock puppets arrived as expected, and with rumbling footsteps, they slowly approached the first line of defense arranged by the Silver Moon Kingdom, followed by tens of thousands of traditional soldiers with acceptable military qualities.
But unlike yesterday, the general command gathered the experience of fighting the rock puppets and passed it on to the whole army. The company stationed on the front line even experienced the **** battle yesterday.
Therefore, as soon as the battle started, the attacking imperial soldiers felt that something was wrong.
Although there are few companies stationed on the first front, they form skirmishers and fire teams based on squads, and walk back and forth in the criss-cross trenches.
Each skirmisher squad is equipped with a submachine gun and a number of wooden handle grenades, which are used to suppress the soldiers of the Imperial Army who are still holding cold weapons, and to protect the fire team.
Each fire team is additionally equipped with a mortar with only a barrel, which is used to harass and attack rock golems.
At the end is the heavy machine gun position and the sniper team to prevent the front line from being overwhelmed.
The skirmishers wandering in the trenches fled back and forth like rats in a stinking ditch, making it difficult for the cumbersome rock golems to attack.
The soldiers of the imperial army wanted to go up to help, but they were suppressed by heavy machine guns and submachine guns. There were countless casualties in a short time. Everyone cared about their own lives, so they could only retreat back timidly.
The rock golem wanted to ignore these bugs and go straight to the second front, but was repeatedly harassed by the fire team, and the elemental core would be destroyed by concentrated fire if it was not careful.
For a moment, the imperial army neither advanced nor retreated, and was entangled in the front line by these eleven companies, unable to advance a single step.
The commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army, Ivy, held up the binoculars. The more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became. He put down the binoculars and said angrily, "What the **** are these idiots doing!"
No wonder he was angry. Eleven companies, no more than 1,500 people, actually stopped more than 100 rock puppets and tens of thousands of troops.
Compared with yesterday's battle results, today's Imperial Army seems to have not woken up...
Do not! It should be said that the opponent's progress was too fast, and in just one night, he absorbed and summed up the experience of dealing with the rock golem.
As time passed by, the magic brilliance of the new array set up by the magic union suddenly dimmed, and the rock puppets in front of them also disintegrated in an instant.
Without the help of rock puppets, how could ordinary soldiers of the Imperial Army break through the fire blockade of the newly formed army, so they had to withdraw back in embarrassment.
The three spell-casting materials have all been used up, and Ivy has no choice but to order another ten spell-casting materials in one breath under the false smile of the head of the mage union.
Although he also felt that ordering so many materials was a bit wasteful, judging from the performance of the Silver Moon Kingdom these days, it was always right to be cautious.
Without the help of the magic array, Ivy didn't want ordinary soldiers to die in vain, so he ordered a rest, one is to wait for the arrival of the spell-casting materials, and the other is to make up for the morale lost these days.
In terms of the new army, the policy of sticking to it is still implemented, and the two sides ushered in a long period of truce.
This stop lasted for a month and a half. Ivy, who was waiting anxiously, finally received the ten spellcasting materials delivered by the Mage Union.
The alchemists from the Alchemy Union came together. They were sent by the Alchemy Union to support the Imperial Army at the call of the Empire.
Asking the spell consultant to check whether there are any missing spell-casting materials, Ai Wei came to the alchemy union with a dark face: "Why are you coming so slowly!"
Compared with the Mage Union, the Alchemist Union arrived a month and a half late, obviously a bit careless.
The person in charge of the Alchemy Union lit his pipe and replied casually: "No way, the things to be transported are too heavy, and the road is full of dirt roads, so it's not easy to walk."
Hearing this obviously perfunctory attitude, Ivy immediately glared: "You!"
But it is limited to this, whether it is the Alchemy Union or the Mage Union, they are all non-governmental organizations independent of the government, and they are backed by legendary powerhouses.
Being able to respond to the empire's call to send people to support is enough to give the empire face. He is just a commander of the imperial army, and he can't handle the opponent.
Of course, the other party can't handle him, and the two major trade unions alone can't fight against the imperial officials.
The person in charge of the Alchemy Union exhaled a puff of smoke, and said slowly: "By the way, do you want to see what we shipped?"
Based on the principle of shopping around, Ivy suppressed his anger and followed the person in charge to check the Alchemy Union's support for this war...a total of two hundred smoothbore artillery!
Ivy had a disgusted expression of eating shit: "Are you kidding me? This is something that the Silver Moon Kingdom has eliminated long ago!"
He was quite looking forward to hearing the word "cannon" before. After all, the artillery attack of the Silver Moon Kingdom impressed him very much, but what he saw was these out-of-stock products, and his heart was half cold!
"Ah! Eliminated product?" The person in charge of the alchemy union was also shocked, and the pipe in his hand almost fell to the ground.
This was imitated with great difficulty. Is there really no problem with the current alchemy system of the Silver Moon Kingdom? The speed of updating alchemy weapons is too fast!
Ai Weihei was scary and dissatisfied: "This obsolete product is completely different from the artillery used by the Silver Moon Kingdom today. It is useless at all. Isn't there something more useful?"
Although the smoothbore artillery is also powerful, at best it is a trebuchet with greater power and longer range, which is still within the scope of his understanding.
However, the light howitzers currently used by the Silver Moon Kingdom are truly strategic weapons. The only thing the empire can contend with is the magic troops, and they are still using the new magic array.
"Tsk, well, but I have to remind you that only these smoothbore cannons are free gifts, and everything else is charged!"
After finishing speaking, the person in charge of the Alchemy Union took Ivy to another place, lifted the huge dust cloth, revealing the steel giants with a sci-fi style, and proudly introduced:
"This is our alchemy guild. It took hundreds of years to develop the alchemy mecha. It can not help but greatly improve the caster's ability to cast spells. It can't be underestimated in melee combat. It can even kill adult dragons, and the caster enters the chest Manipulating it can well protect the fragile body of the caster."
Looking at these steel giants, Ivy was a little dazed for a while, no, why is the brain circuit of this alchemy union so similar to that of the mage union?
Do you really think that the bigger the body, the higher the fighting power?
The purpose of the two creations is to protect the caster from harm. The Mage Guild is a rock puppet, and the Alchemist Guild is an alchemy mecha, and their heights are roughly similar.
If you have to talk about the difference, it may be the material, shape and operation method.
The rock puppet was summoned by the mage, but the control distance was increased by using the magic array. The material is the rock that can be seen everywhere, and its shape is quite bulky and simple.
The alchemy mecha of the alchemy union is an alchemical creation that the caster enters into the body and controls it personally.
The main body of the mech is made of unknown metal, and the whole body exudes a silver-white metallic luster, and each part of the body is engraved with a large number of alchemy runes.
On the back of the mecha, there is a shield and a long sword on its back. Visually, it should be a weapon for melee combat. There is a protruding magic crystal ball on each shoulder. The specific purpose is unknown. A lot of agility.
Of course, it depends on actual combat performance.
Just at this moment, the person in charge of the Mage Union also followed, looking at these alchemy mechas, he taunted in a strange way: "Tsk tsk tsk, this is the bottom of the box of the Alchemy Union, and we need to be controlled by us noble mages!" On the battlefield, I don't think it's very good!"
Although they are both folk mage organizations, the research systems of the mage union and the alchemy union are completely different. One focuses on self-cultivation and magic techniques, and the other focuses on studying foreign objects and alchemy. It can be said that it is completely wrong. is the truth.
The person in charge of the alchemy union turned dark, and ignored the trash talk of the person in charge of the mage union.
Compared with the alchemy guild~www.novelbuddy.com~, the mage guild has existed for a longer period of time, and has deeper qualifications and background, which is more representative of the traditional mage system, and it happens that most mages are also relatively traditional.
Therefore, the Alchemy Union is indeed weaker than the Mage Union in all aspects. Every time there is a conflict, the Alchemy Union is basically the first to give in.
Looking at the person in charge of the mage union who came over, Ivy didn't feel embarrassed either. War is a very difficult business, and money is spent everywhere. Of course, you have to shop around to see which one is the best deal.
Ivy frowned and asked, "How much are these alchemy mechs, and what are their performances?"
Hearing this, the person in charge of the alchemy union looked a little embarrassed: "In terms of performance, an alchemy mecha can single out three elemental puppets at the same time at most, and the price...
An alchemy mech costs 50,000 gold coins, and the power source is our special high-concentration magic crystal, which needs to be paid separately. One power source can probably support a whole day's battle, and each is 2,000 gold coins. "
"Fuck!" Ivy felt that his three views were bursting. Is this the war he experienced before?
One mecha is 50,000 gold coins, and the six mechas are the military expenses of the empire's first-line main battle corps for a whole year, and they need to consume 2,000 gold coins every day to replenish power.
Originally, I thought the offer from the Mage Union was outrageous, but I didn't expect the Alchemist Union to go too far. Isn't this just a grandiose money grab?
On the other side, the person in charge of the Mage Union couldn't stop laughing from ear to ear. They dared to sell 50,000 gold coins for this thing. This time, the Alchemy Union was ashamed and generous!
