If the demons could evolve completely, they would not have to make such a trade-off. But who made them not collect enough resources for evolution in the thousand years since they invaded Eden
"Statement: The current demon group cannot [evolve resistance to two types of damage at the same time]. They can only resist one source of damage unilaterally. As long as we attack the demons with "physical" and "magical" at the same time, the demons will soon be fatally hit due to their own damage resistance weakness, and then die completely.
Gao Xing: In other words, as long as we try to ensure a 1:1 or even 1:5 ratio of physical and magical firepower on the United Nations' position, then resisting the invasion of the primitive demons will be a piece of cake.
Concern: On the other hand, if some demons gave up all their defenses and chose to evolve offensively, or even imitated the structure of the weapons in the hands of the United Nations to evolve...then they could in turn cause a lot of damage to the United Nations' positions.
Therefore, "bunkers" will be the key to this war. It is strongly recommended that the United Nations take "bunkers" into consideration when building positions..."
Therefore, Elena's overall evaluation of demons is still "relatively weak".
But in the end, she still expressed her concerns: that is, the demons might regard the United Nations' army as an object of "learning", and then turn the demons that were originally in the "primitive" stage into terrifying "modern" demons.
And this is also what Yang Hao is most worried about.
After all, every elf and Byrjan was a precious citizen. If possible, he hoped that his own citizens would not suffer any loss in this Eden War.
In the final analysis, it would be best if the demons could always maintain their "original" state. But... who can guarantee that the demons can always stay this stupid
So what Yang Hao wanted to ask was—
"How can we prevent the demons from learning our tactics?"
Yang Hao's question made Miss Synthetic Doll silent for a while.
She looked at the magic puppets in the distance who were busy absorbing the sea water and restarting the artificial magic. Then she lowered her head to look at the paper on the table. Finally, she pointed at Yang Hao's face:
"Explanation: Demons need distance to learn."
"distance?"
Yang Hao was stunned, then just watched Elena stand up and walk to a position about two meters away from his left side.
"Explanation: If we use the physical distance between you and me to understand, at this distance, if I am a "demon", then the "demon" cannot learn anything from you - in other words, this safety distance requirement is about 200 meters."
"In other words, the demons are capable of learning within 200 meters?"
He frowned, because the 200-meter safety distance was still a bit short for the current fighting distance of the United Nations.
Although the elves can easily make accurate shots at a distance of more than 800 meters, for the vast majority of mortal Bayerjans, the most they can do is use the Bayerjans rifle's sights to make accurate shots at a distance of about 400 meters.
The distance between 400 meters and 200 meters is a distance that a demon can cross in just a few breaths.
Especially considering that elite troops like the Elf Archers who can perform precise shooting at extremely long distances account for a relatively small proportion in the army now, perhaps Yang Hao should consider using more machine gun Golems and howitzer Golems to fill the firepower gap between 400 meters and 800 meters
Not only that, the laying of barbed wire may also require a few more layers... But then again, if all demons can learn at a distance of 200 meters, we can't stop them from learning anyway.
What to do
Yang Hao fell into deep thought.
After returning to her seat, Elena looked at Yang Hao's face with even more curiosity and said:
"Suggestion: If you really don't want the demons to learn, perhaps "letting them make wrong judgments" is a good tactic."
"Misjudgment?"
"Explanation: That is what camouflage means - disguising a magic weapon as a physical weapon, or disguising a physical weapon as a magic weapon.
In this way, even if the demons succeed in learning, they will be harmed because they have learned the wrong knowledge.
After all, the trigger structure of physical weapons is completely different from the charging structure of magic weapons. They can't coexist, and the devil may subconsciously try to make them coexist."
"I see."
"Explanation: In addition to this, there is..."
…
Elena kept discussing with Yang Hao all the possibilities and preparations to avoid the "devil" from studying.
They talked about a lot of things, from the most basic "weapon camouflage", to later using "physical shielding" to disable the demon's eyes, and even the final "deliberately letting melee fighters fight demons in order to let the demons judge that war is still very primitive" -
In general, they discussed many tactics to fight against demons. Among them, the only tactic Yang Hao chose was "physical shielding of vision".
After all, to put it bluntly, this is similar to the nighttime defense tactics of the U.S. military on Earth—
Each infantryman was assigned his own firing range. If the enemy really launched a night attack in the dark, he could just fire randomly at his own firing range.
Although doing so might cause some minor problems with the United Nations' ammunition logistics, Yang Hao believed that even if the loading machine had not yet been invented, those hardworking and capable logistics elves would certainly be able to meet the ammunition consumption of the machine gun Gorem and the Gappa 1405 heavy machine gun... right
He had an illusion of Dr. Joseph dangling in the sky, tied with bullet chains.
After shuddering subconsciously, he sent someone to notify the troops building bunkers on the front line, asking them to prepare a large number of tactical props that could trigger "smoke screens" according to the new orders. After a brief adaptation, they began to prepare for the next battle.
And it was at this moment that the magic puppets who had been handling the artificial magic reactor stepped forward and said that they were ready for everything.
"As long as the United Nations completes the construction of the position, we can extract seawater at any time, and immediately start the restart work of the artificial magic reactor after extracting more than 50 liters of seawater."
The leading magic puppet engineer nodded to Elena.
"It will take about half an hour for the artificial magic reactor to restart. During the restart time, all our magic networks will fail, and most of the magic puppets will choose to enter a "hibernation" state to avoid consuming magic power.
At that time, apart from the help of a certain group of magic puppets, Eden will not be able to provide any help in the war against the demon invasion—until our artificial magic reactor is restarted."
"After the artificial magic reactor completes its restart, can you provide fire support?" Fen asked on behalf of Yang Hao.
"After all, although we can hold out for a while, that is just "defense" after all. When attacking the demon nest, we still need to see your help, rather than seeing you waiting for our victory in the library."
Although the United Nations has more than 10,000 troops deployed in Eden, in the final analysis, these 10,000 elite troops are best at defensive operations.
Just because they are good at defense doesn't mean they are good at attack - what's more, how can they waste their own lives to attack the demon's nest for people from other countries
No matter how much the benefits of helping Eden are, if Eden really intends to sit back and reap the benefits, then according to Finn, it would be better to just take down Eden directly...
Although it was just a thought, Finn hated this kind of behavior after all - if the Kingdom of Eden was really unwilling to even send someone to pretend, it would be better to sever ties and conquer it directly by force.
Finn's doubts were finally reassured by Elena herself: "Confirmed: After restarting the artificial magic reactor, the Kingdom of Eden will charge the Colossus weapons to prepare for the upcoming decisive battle with the hive. But before that, we can only provide limited assistance."
"That's good. Then please get ready. We will send you a signal as soon as we have completed the construction of the position."
"grateful… "
As the synthetic doll girl bowed her head and expressed her thanks coldly, Yang Hao and the others left the underground area of the library.
After arriving on the surface and reuniting with the black dragon Nia, they climbed onto the black dragon's back to overlook the situation on the surface from the air, while also looking at the nest of the northern demon's nest - the nest was emitting a red light all over.
The mother nest in Eden looked much healthier than the mother nest under Bayerjans when it was alive. Even from a long distance one could see that the mother nest was reproducing at a rapid rate.
It's like someone who ate five meals of Wallace and then had a bowel movement in the toilet -
Just as Yang Hao was thinking about this, he saw the front-line position in the distance sending them a "ready" signal.
"Let's get started." He turned around and patted Finn's hand. "Let's land, too—it's time to test the results of our military efforts over this period."
"Is this also to prepare for the next invasion of Roman?"
Finn smiled...
"right… "
They landed on the ground, and with the signal sent by the United Nations, the huge pipeline prepared by the Eden people that stretched from the sky to the depths of the sea also began to draw seawater.
As hundreds of tons of seawater were slowly drawn away, a long roar was heard from the demon's nest in the distance.
After being completely freed from the pressure of falling from the air, this healthy mother nest is breeding demon offspring at a rate of tens of thousands of larvae per minute.
In an environment with high concentrations of magic power, the local demons have even evolved organs that can "eat magic power"—
Although the efficiency of consuming magic power is much lower than that of consuming flesh and blood, it is enough for most larvae to evolve into "juveniles" the size of jackals.
The demons' goal is to completely destroy the artificial magic reactor in Eden.
Only by destroying the reactor can the demons completely defeat the remaining Eden people and completely turn this continent into a home for the demons.
Only in this way can they allow their population to enter the next "evolutionary" state and completely evolve from "barbarism" to "civilization."
"roar!!"
The tall quasi-titan demon took the lead, leading a large number of high-level demons and young demons to rush towards the already ruined city.
They were confident about the upcoming battle because their magic-resistant skin had reached the point where it could completely reflect magic.
They were no longer afraid of any magical attacks. Just as the demons were thinking this, several objects with flame tails rose from behind the ruins of the city in the distance. After reaching their peak, they began to grow larger and larger towards them...
What is it exactly
The demons watched in confusion as the thing fell above their heads.
Then they saw it—
It "exploded".
Chapter 9: The Final Battle between Eden and the Devil—1/5 8K
The rumbling sound of artillery fire from the United Nations front was heard in the distance. Elena raised her head slightly and looked in the direction of the surface. She chose to stay at the artificial magic reactor to wait for the reactor to restart and test it for the subsequent cycle.
And it was at this time that Alexander, the magic puppet responsible for restarting the artificial magic reactor, said that the next steps required extra caution.
"50 liters of seawater is just a necessary condition for restarting." He patted the outer shell of the artificial magic reactor and observed the giant magic generating equipment inside and the surrounding storage cabins filled with seawater through the transparent shell.
"The normal operation will still consume a large amount of seawater. Before we can successfully make the artificial magic power on the floating continent strong enough to completely repair the magic network, we will probably need to consume tens of thousands of tons of seawater before we can stop..."
The artificial magic reactor in the Kingdom of Eden is a powerful magic production device.
But strictly speaking, its most important aspect is not simply "producing magic", but simulating the magic circulation mechanism on this planet to directly create its own "artificial magic ecosystem" in the area.
In this ecosystem, artificial magic power will go through a cycle of "production" - "use" - "transformation into magic power residue" - "reproduction".
Once this cycle is established, the artificial magic reactor will no longer need to draw large amounts of seawater to produce magic.
After all, the people of Eden knew very well that if magic power was overproduced, it would only bring disaster.
So they took a "circular" approach - but no matter how circular the basis is, they still have to produce enough magic power.
That's why Alexander was worried. After all, when producing magic power in large quantities, who knows what big problems might happen.
"The ecology on the surface of this planet is no longer what it was thousands of years ago - it is difficult to guarantee that the seawater extracted now will be as magical as before...
So theoretically, we may not be able to completely restart the artificial magic reactor within half an hour, and it is difficult to ensure that the magic network can be rebuilt in the short term... But at least one thing is certain: we have to keep going."
"affim… "
"Ah. If only you could learn to speak more like humans... Ah, the sea water is coming."
Alexander sighed and touched Elena's artificial white hair. The sea water they had been looking forward to day and night was finally pumped up from the ocean below.
The seawater passed through transparent pipes into the inspection channel. After a rough inspection there, the magic puppets said that the seawater below met the conditions for magic production.
It may be because the Sirens of the West uprooted their continent, so the ocean now is in some sense even more magical than it was thousands of years ago.
The production of magic power was not a problem, so Alexander decided to enter the steps immediately.
Listening to the cannon fire from above, the scientist earnestly warned all the daughters of Eden:
"Elena, when the artificial magic reactor restarts, you need to ensure the safety of His Majesty Yang Hao for at least half an hour. Do you understand?"
"Confused? Why does he need my protection?" Elena tilted her head in confusion: "Question: Does he need our protection to this extent?"
"Of course, Elena. He is not an ordinary person - not only is he the current head of the United Nations on the surface of the Elucia continent, but more importantly, he seems to be related to the "world consciousness" we once studied...
And I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but I always feel that there is a divine power entwining him. That power is different from magic… weak, but firm.”
"I understand. In short, it's because its value is too high that I need to protect it personally?"
"Yes. You can understand it that way, but more importantly... His Majesty Yang Hao can treat you as an equal. I can see that."
"Puzzled?"
"He won't discriminate against you because of your special birth method - the elf and the new era Ling people don't seem to be like this either. But in the final analysis, one of the important reasons why they "don't discriminate" against you is because of his non-discrimination."
"Doubt. It doesn't bother me at all."
"But we will, Elena. No parent wants to see their child discriminated against."
Alexander ruffled Elena's hair. Seeing Elena's puzzled look, Alexander sighed heavily and watched as the drawn seawater began to flow into the seawater tank of the artificial reactor through another pipe.
Due to special reasons, Elena was born in a special era and in a special way, so naturally she would not have the "childhood" that normal life has.
Even the demon larvae had to receive care from young and high-level demons when they were just born, but Elena never enjoyed the slightest care.
It’s not that the people of Eden don’t love her, but because the people of Eden can’t protect themselves. More importantly, Elena was designed for war.
Her current condition and emotional intelligence, which are not at all like those of a human, have become a pain in the hearts of every Edenite.
The Eden people wanted to give Elena a normal and beautiful life, but they didn't know how to do it...
