In legends, the weather is often used to foretell the next plot.
A sunny day is a big day for the hero to set off. The castle in the cloudy sky has become a symbol of conspiracy. It is the climax of the plot. There are always a few thunderbolts, even if there is no cloud in the sky at that time.
The reality is not so dramatic. The massacre is often scorched by the sun, because at that time the vision is the most abundant, and the real conspirators are often high in the beautiful manor. When the weather is the worst, there is nothing messy, and everyone is in their own nests. warm home.
But sometimes, in some cases, there is no choice for mortals, and for us who are smug, we have encountered the worst luck.
There is a lot of rain in the place where spring and summer meet, and the rainy season of Baier is almost at the moment, and the area we went to is the place where the Dragon Knight Emperor Helent made his fortune-Rainy Night Fortress.
The dark clouds covering the sky shrouded our sky, and the sudden gust of wind and torrential rain not only blocked our progress, but also obscured our vision.
It has been a week since he left the capital of Baier. The "multinational coalition" with Baier as the main force has started the second undead crusade in a mighty manner.
The weather has become very bad before walking for two days. The torrential rain has greatly slowed down the legion's journey. The casters cannot read the mysterious power from the dark clouds. Then, it is only possible that the luck is too bad.
The knights and nobles on weekdays may not talk about their images, but on the battlefield there are so many orders and they live very uncomfortable.
The golden armored warrior in the front looks majestic on weekdays, and the sun shines like a golden warrior.
The weapons and armor coatings inlaid with enchanted adamantine are not only for aesthetics, but the price is much higher than the coating of the same volume of gold, allowing them to ignore ordinary arrows.
Their standard weapons are a heavy spear nearly two meters long, a tower shield, which is also an expensive texture of adamantine coating, and a master-level wizard enchantment.
The spear carries the sharp brilliance of "sharpness" and "shattering armor", and the thick tower shield also has the light yellow brilliance of "anti-magic" and "sturdy". The cross lion emblem is a royal gift, just this gun and one shield is enough for an ordinary mercenary to work hard for a lifetime.
The ugly dragon helmet only showed its pupils, and the fully covered adamantine plate armor made it stronger than the mountain giant.
The Royal Dragoon is the name of this unit. Although it is familiar, it has a long history.
Although the name has a dragon cavalry, don't get me wrong, they are pure infantry, and the weight of the armor cannot be carried by even a young ground dragon that can be domesticated.
But being able to control this equipment can only mean that these fighters are too powerful, and the average combat power level is high enough. Ten years ago, this was the terrifying existence of a group of golden peaks.
An extra job could account for their speciality - one of the Royal Knights.
The royal knights of various countries have always been the country's signature and the strongest arms. They are firmly held in the hands of the royal family and the royal family. They are not only the guards, but also the last sharp edge of crusade against rebellious and foreign enemies. The strongest arm of Bayer is obviously the dragon knight. , but the Royal Dragoons with a total of 13,000 people will not have the slightest fear even in the face of the Dragon Knights.
Why use one? Unlike Oran, who is still forming his own new royal knights, he doesn't need to be compared to Lan Kingdom, who uses miscellaneous cards to make a royal face. The old empire Baier's family is rich enough, "The Shield of the Dragon King", "" The three royal knights, the Wings of Bayer and the Whip of Milan, are at the peak of the entire human world in terms of history, strength, and even individual strength.
Well, it's just in the human world. After all, Baier has dragon knights. It's not fair to compare the average combat power of giant dragons with that of mortals.
However, the Dragon Knights were originally the "Wings of Baier", the leader of the three royal knights. To be able to rank with it, and to make the proud dragon not upset and take the initiative to provoke, has proved the confidence of the other two royal knights.
The advantage of human beings lies in the balance between quantity and quality... that is, the so-called mass production and modelling of arms.
The abilities and characteristics of elf archers and mages are often very different. They have enough years to have their own specialties, and skirmishers fighting freely is their speciality.
The human warriors are full of calculations, and only have a training cycle of several years or ten years, but as long as they practice the road that has been repeatedly verified by their predecessors, their growth rate will be several times that of other races, although this "stocking" warriors of other races are compared , the ability will be relatively simple, but with special equipment that makes up for shortcomings and enhances advantages, on the battlefield where combat effectiveness can be exerted, the strength will not be much worse than that of the century-old warriors of other tribes.
At least, even the most elite century-old braided warriors of the dwarves would not dare to rush into the battle formation formed by the royal dragoons.
Excellent defensive power and attack power, as well as the elite warriors chosen among the ten thousand, make these sluggish heavy tanks become bloodthirsty meat grinders that are invulnerable once they get close.
Tailor-made martial arts and training methods, special and sophisticated equipment, coupled with the use of arms in exchange for lessons learned, this is the reason why humans can build powerful arms in batches.
Perhaps using "mass production" to describe a bit demeaning, then using "inheritance" is also a meaning.
The smelting and purification of armor technology, the enchanting manufacture of magic alchemy, and the accumulation of countless crafts, technologies, and industries have resulted in the royal armor, silver horse armor, and wind-chasing spear.
The inheritance of martial arts and tactics is more direct and obvious. Teachers teach disciples, and they are passed down from generation to generation. The seniors of the Knights recorded their combat experience, proud martial arts, and experience in using weapons. Those worthy of promotion will be widely circulated. Then the younger generation learns the "stunts" of the predecessors as the basis, and deduces and creates new "stunts"
Passed down from generation to generation, this army and knights will naturally become stronger and stronger.
The knights with a long history, the more powerful the martial skills they inherit. It is not that they have any ancient secret recipes and stunts, but that through years and actual combat, the originally rough martial arts have become superb and extremely practical. Various auxiliary practices The methods have all been figured out, and it is pure kingly way.
The skills that those in the deep mountains and forests have been pondered by themselves seem to be perfect and gorgeous, but once they fight each other, they are far inferior to the simple combat skills that have been tempered.
What is inheritance, that's all, learning from generation to generation, generation after generation, future generations will continue to move forward on the shoulders of their predecessors, and naturally they will become stronger and stronger.
The golden royal dragon knights are said to be as old as Baier. Every centurion has a title of knight that can be passed on. If his children die in the line of duty, they can choose to inherit their noble titles and positions. Maybe a piece of armor has been passed down for seven years. Eight generations, it has been repaired and enhanced by several masters.
Young children know what kind of person they want to become when they are born, they can become a qualified golden dragoon only after they are three-year-old with guns and five-year-old with shields.
One shot and one shield, one attack and one defense, it is simple, but it shows the real skill.
Among all the advanced arms, their equipment is probably the least and the simplest, but as the "Dragon King Shield" guarding the entire Baier and Milan royal family, they are among all human knights, regardless of history or strength, All in the top ten.
In this generation, they even vaguely have a tendency to challenge the "Wings of Baier", the first Knights of Baier, of course, the Dragon Knights ten years ago.
Among the three Royal Knights of Baier, the "Wings of Baier" of the Dragon Knights are only the nominal royal guards, and the "Whip of Milan" of the entire cavalry is transferred to guard the border and invades foreign countries. Guarding the royal city is the most trustworthy trump card in the hands of the emperor.
And this time, Helent can say that he smashed all his belongings.
There are 13,000 people in total. This time, 11,000 people came. Only the most basic veteran coaches and trainees within three months are left. Even the recruits who have completed the initial one-year training are on board. In other words, it was all out.
The mighty phalanx of heavy infantry walked on the road without the slightest sound of human beings, only the sound of heavy footsteps caused by the huge weight.
"Fight to the death, don't retreat."
It's their battle manifesto, and it's their style as always.
For them, only when they retreat will they be in chaos and their weaknesses will be exposed. As long as they do not retreat and their formations are not chaotic, even if they fall, their compatriots will take revenge on themselves.
The sound of uniform footsteps will be combined, and the terrible sound is whipping the earth, just like a group of titan giants are advancing silently, but at this time, due to the past training and strict military discipline, their appearance is probably the most miserable .
The sudden burst of rain made it a reality that the five fingers could not be seen. The tried and tested warriors were not confused, and still tried to maintain a phalanx formation in the rainstorm, one after the other, without any confusion.
The extra-conventional defensive armor also made them heavier than normal. Walking in the quagmire and stepping on a pit is really uncomfortable. If this can be barely endured, it will be even more unbearable.
The rain was so heavy that the water got in through the various gaps and ventilation holes of the armor, filled it up, and then flowed out from the gaps... Well, it was like a sprinkler that sprayed all the way.
"What if I want to dub them? For example, the classic song 'Good people live in peace' every morning."
"Hold on, or will you be dragged out and killed."
I don't know how they're feeling right now, but I'm sick of wearing overshoes filled with water, stuffed in metal cans, filling up with water, and walking around with tin cans to stay in formation, swaying around. Can't fall, just thinking about it makes people feel cold all over.
"…Heloise, do you think that if I throw a soap, no, a banana slice in front of their formation and fall one or two, will it bring down a lot of pieces in a chain, like a bowling ball."
"It's useless, their boots are all enchanted with acceleration and anti-skid... But it's hard to say in such a heavy rain, you can really try it, now you can't get up if you fall down, it's so fun to die from banana peels Now, you can make a headline for the goblin. By the way, you can ask for leave from the 'universal box' Johnny over there, his proud spell is to revise the original greasy spell into a malicious group banana peel."
Although I know that the mage has always been more boring than anyone else, but this archmage is really idle enough to be able to use it to develop this kind of spell.
Unlike the Bayer soldiers who are dying to save face and suffer, I am now with the caster team in the country of mages, drinking coffee and watching the rapid march in the rain outside.
In order to retain the unreliable physical strength of the caster, as an unspoken rule of the battlefield, no matter where the caster goes, as long as the conditions are not too harsh, they will be treated like a carriage.
When the rain was so heavy that even the vision could not be seen clearly, the mages stopped without hesitation and sat in the carriage to watch the others march.
It's good to drink tea, drink coffee and chat like me. Some play the Gwent card directly, some start to do magic experiments that seem to be very powerful, and some archmages who are proficient in the space department simply open the teleportation directly. The door slipped away, and some summoned the beasts and started to perform with the beasts... Although the performance is relatively normal, I think this look is a bit familiar, maybe this is another sad wind believer, maybe we should approach him from behind, Then drag him out and kill him.
Military honor? Military regulations? Spellcasters have long been accustomed to ignoring them.
And if this team is only Baier, or the combined team of Baier and the Mage Nation, Baier's Royal Dragoons will not be so hard.
Who doesn't know that heavy exercise in the rain is likely to cause wind chills, but sometimes, the soldiers are just trying to save face, especially the so-called allies who compete in private.
Not far from the golden heavy infantry, a group of soldiers were also slowly advancing.
It seems that the innate and the golden dragoons compete. The dragoons are golden heavy armored infantry. They are silver light cavalry. If the royal dragoons take the road to simplicity, the equipment of these light cavalry is extremely complicated. .
"Olan is really rich, and the White Wolf Guards have all changed their clothes again."
The White Wolf Guards are the royal knights of Oran, and they are also the trump cards that Oran has given him high hopes to overtake other super empires.
Back then, the armor of the White Wolf Guard was made of Micilor Mithril alloy. Although it was lighter in texture, it could provide more defense than ordinary heavy armor, and was extremely resistant to magic. Back then, let alone the design of the light cavalry armor. , The alloy formula of light as a raw material is a first-class secret of the Oran Empire.
"You still got tricked."
"Cough, how can this be called cheating, I am just a military exchange, how can normal military exchanges be called cheating."
Back then, the White Wolf Guards, Micilor's violent dragon spear, violent throwing spear, and violent sword, were all high-quality alchemy props. You can tell by the name that these things can be exploded. A white wolf knight is just a moving gunpowder. The library is the crystallization of Oran's highly alchemical technology.
If the Royal Dragoons are legendary warriors from ancient epics, then the White Wolf Guard is a new army of the era that has kept pace with the times.
Compared with the previous year, their equipment has been greatly updated. The long burst dragon spear is only equipped by a few cutting-edge knights. The appearance of the spear and the long sword is completely unrecognizable, at least from the obvious Olivia's box. I can see the shadow of magic technology.
And each of them brought at least three backpacks and small bags, and the magic fluctuations in them were obvious, which should be some new toys.
But the biggest change is their vehicle.
The original powerful alien warhorses were directly abandoned, and all the knights were actually equipped with iron horses. Although the White Wolf Guard was originally a unit that relied on alchemy props and drugs to fight, it did not rely on the strength of the mount itself, but it was so determined to directly Abandoning conventional mounts is really unexpected.
If the Royal Dragoons were silent and heavy footsteps, the roar of the motors of the White Wolf Guards did not stop.
If only that were the case, I wouldn't be so surprised.
Between the iron horses, there is an iron tortoise walking slowly. He is about three meters long and has five wheels of different sizes. The thick iron skin is protecting the fragile heavy artillery ballista, although the speed of movement is really impressive Sorry, but I found at least four gun muzzles on it.
"It's a tank!"
Although it is very rough, I can guarantee that this is no different from the original tank in design concept. They are all putting iron sheets on the powered locomotives, allowing people to attack safely inside.
I am not boring to give ideas and hints, no matter the wisdom of people in that world should not be underestimated. With the engine technology of iron horses, others will naturally develop mechanical chariots, not to mention that the chariots of this era have never been withdrawn. historical stage.
Oran's terrible shipbuilding and alchemy industries are enough to make any absurd idea a reality.
There are many such "Tank Turtles", one for every ten knights. In addition, there are large ones dragged by carriages. I can't see the ones wrapped in oil paper, but I guess they are also powerful weapons.
Bayer, who inherits history but strives to innovate, and Oran, who started out as a nouveau riche but seized the opportunity of the industrial revolution to develop rapidly, both sides have long been in competition. Now that the two sides have met with the Royal Knights representing various honors, they naturally fought together.
Modern machinery is very likely to have problems in bad weather, not to mention the semi-finished products in Oran. Along the way, I saw three iron turtles smoking and extinguishing the flame, directly breaking down, stuck in the mud and unable to get up. , In the end, many iron turtles were dragged away by several white wolf knights.
Neither of the two sides said anything, but everyone knew that they were getting stronger, and it seemed that whoever could not bear it was called to stop first.
"Soldiers..."
I shook my head helplessly, I am not easy to deal with a guest army, anyway, it is still far from the battlefield, so let them play casually.
"Really, it's still like a group of children fighting at this age. If the undead come at this time, then it's not fun... Well, Heloise, put down that eggplant, and I'll shut up."
"Enemy attack!"
The piercing screams shattered all peace. I silently took Heloise's eggplant and stuffed it into my mouth...
