At nine o'clock, Tyre took his leave. In just a few minutes of conversation, the man known as the God of War has talked a few words about the difficulties on the western front. But Ben could still hear that the advancement of the golden battle ax had been completely stopped. At present, the battle situation in the west has entered a stalemate.
In a canyon 3,000 kilometers west, the Golden Tomahawk encountered a joint attack from four to five alien races. In the special terrain of the canyon, the Golden Tomahawk could not take advantage of the number of soldiers to cover up those hostile alien races with crowd tactics. At this time, the alien race's familiarity with the geographical environment and its tougher personality than human soldiers finally came into play.
Under Tyr's command, the Golden Battle Ax divided the entire Legion into columns. Each team takes turns to attack, and when the forward team loses its spirit, it is ordered to retreat, followed by the follow-up team to make up. Using this method, in the not-so-capable canyon space, the Golden Tomahawk still charged forward tenaciously. However, this process was not so smooth. When the soldiers passed over the corpse of the alien race that was thought to be killed, they would suddenly jump in and give a fatal blow to the back. It wasn't until the soldiers behind made up a knife or fired a shot that these tenacious lives were really killed.
Under such circumstances, the soldiers have to allocate more time and more strength to kill every alien race they can see, and at the same time beware that they are dead but not stiff. Although there are specialized personnel in the Golden Tomahawk to dissect the discovered alien races, analyze their physiological structures and find out their weaknesses.
But they are different races after all, even if they are alien races with very close territories, their body structure is also in a very different state, so it is difficult to find common weaknesses among different races. And the human race has obvious weaknesses, and the heart and head are almost common fatal points. High-level ability users may be able to modify their internal organs to make themselves difficult to kill. But there is almost nothing to do with the head, once it is beheaded, it is very difficult for even a powerhouse above the tenth rank to survive.
And even if he survived, he would have to pay a huge price.
However, different races are different. There may be multiple hearts in their bodies, or the hearts are covered with horny substances, making it difficult for a knife or a gun to penetrate. And even if their heads are cut off, some alien races can protrude fleshy teeth from the severed head, and then form fleshy limbs that can crawl quickly for short distances. Once these alien races escape, as long as they absorb enough nutrients, they can regenerate their bodies out of thin air.
Under such circumstances, facing more and more unimaginable aliens in the depths of the west, the difficulty of the work of the Golden Tomahawk can be seen.
As Ben expected, apart from hearing that Valkyrie and Cario were injured, Tyre came back this time because Asgard was able to send more soldiers. What Tyre meant was that he hoped that the Hammer of Doom led by Thor would be dispatched. And it would be best if Baldr's Dawn Shield was with him. The Dawn Shield was not only good at defense, but also some of the skills of the light elements could allow soldiers to recover their vitality in a short period of time, or recover some common injuries.
It can be said that in Dawn Shield, the casualties of soldiers will be minimized.
I could understand Tyr's thoughts. With the Doomhammer, which is good at attacking fortifications, and the Shield of Dawn, which is famous for defense and protection, the golden battle ax is equivalent to having a sword responsible for destruction and a shield for protecting one's own side. With the joint efforts of the three legions, the defense line of the alien race will be broken through in a short time.
As the leader of the Western Expedition Army, it is not surprising that Tyre had this idea, but Ben also had his own concerns.
First of all, three of Asgard's five major legions have left, which will cause a vacancy in Asgard's own military strength. Although the Hall of Valor and the Dark Council are currently in the truce period, if they receive this news, it is difficult to be sure that as their old opponent, the speaker of the Dark Council, Oglok, will not suddenly attack with troops.
In fact, if only Valkyrie's Victory Spear and Loki's dark blade were left. Asgard's strength is not enough to defend against the full-on attack of the Dark Council. Whether it is the number of high-level ability users or the average level of soldiers, there is a considerable distance from the Scarlet Knights of the Dark Council.
Second, Asgard is a semi-democratic city. Although Ben is the highest authority in the city, he doesn't have the final say on everything, especially such a big event as dispatching the other two legions. Under this book, there is also a council composed of representatives from all aspects of the city, such as the nobles, politicians, and merchants of Asgard, in addition to the main hall.
The council can participate in the city's major decision-making, and decide whether the proposal is passed through a referendum. Although Ben has the final say, public opinion is a factor he has to worry about. After all, the foundation of Asgard cannot be separated from the support of these people.
Therefore, Ben couldn't make any promises to Tyre right away, he could only promise him to put this proposal on the agenda of the Senate as soon as possible.
There is no doubt that Asgard's power system prevents Ben from acting as arbitrary as Oglock, and seems to be restrained everywhere. However, Eternal Night City seems to be dominated by Oglok alone, but it is because the entire city is shrouded in the wings of Oglok and the Dark Council. Once the Dark Parliament is weakened, Eternal Night City will immediately fall into turmoil in the struggle for power.
But Asgard is different, Ben considered this issue very early on. It is indeed convenient to concentrate power on individuals, but it is doomed that the foundation of the city is not stable enough. Release part of the power and let some important people in the city participate in its construction. In addition to increasing these people's sense of belonging to the city, it can also ensure that if Ben is not there, the city can still continue to operate under the leadership of the council.
Even if this will also bring turmoil in the transfer of power, after all, this turmoil is controlled in a small range and will not affect the survival of the city.
This is the biggest difference between Ben and Oglock. He is willing to put a shackle on himself so that his desire will not be unfettered.
Call secretary Julie and tell her to draft a plan for Tyre's proposal and send it to the council's business schedule with priority levels, asking the council to discuss and discuss this resolution as soon as possible. After Julie left, Ben turned on his private brain, and a transparent screen rose from the edge of the desk. After a short startup, the working window appeared on the screen.
At the bottom of the window, there is a file icon flashing, and a red number above the icon indicates the number of files. These documents were selected and categorized by secretary Julie before being forwarded to Ben, and they needed his approval today. The range of matters is very wide, ranging from the funding for biochemical research to the purchase of materials for new tanks, or the needs of city construction, and certain new systems that have been deliberated and approved by the Senate.
In fact, Ben's day's work is quite tedious, and he needs to deal with a wide range of things. And his decision is related to the development of Asgard, so Ben works more hours every day than anyone in this city.
While he was concentrating on instructing the documents one by one, the icon of a camera on the light screen suddenly flickered. It was because someone requested a video communication. Ben placed his finger on the camera icon, and a box immediately popped up. In the square frame is Baldur's smiling face.
Ben also smiled, and casually clicked on the icon, and pressed the light button to agree to the communication.
A rectangular window appears in the center of the screen, and the center of the window is a link progress bar. The progress bar was completed quickly, and with a flash of the window, Badr's handsome face appeared.
The god of light, Baldur, is always so gentle. If it is the old times, then Baldr's character is undoubtedly the best. This handsome man is so gentle in appearance and heart, and he has a tolerant heart for things. Balter is just, benevolent, and well-loved in Asgard. It's a pity that he lives in a turbulent new era, where gentleness and kindness are sometimes synonymous with indecision. And the resolute and courageous Tire is more suitable to be the pioneer and creator of an era, so I will default to the God of War as my successor.
But all this does not prevent Ben from liking the child on the screen. He smiled and said, "What's the matter? My child."
"Dear father, please forgive me for wasting your precious time." In the window, the handsome God of Light said politely: "I have almost dealt with the Cossacks matter, Anji Gullit fell into a deep sleep, now except for the underground In addition to a small number of living corpses in the second-floor base, other variant creatures have already gone to the wilderness in the southwest. Loki's dark blade has confirmed that these variant creatures will not wander around the Julian Mountains. I will calm down the cluster of variant creatures as soon as possible It’s just that there is one more thing that I need to trouble father for your instructions.”
"Is it about zero?" Ben asked casually.
"Yes." Badr nodded and said, "After the Windrunner team left the military base, Zero needed medical treatment due to serious injuries, so his equipment is temporarily kept by us. In addition to finding their mission items in Zero's carrying equipment, In addition to an experimental diary. I also found a very special weapon, which is a hand cannon, but my technical engineers were unable to analyze its structure. During the two days when Zero was hospitalized, my people used the The assistant analyzed this weapon without destroying it, and concluded that its drive system is completely different from the technology we currently have. The technology represented by this hand cannon is one or two levels higher than ours. Its materials, structure, energy circuit, core system, etc. are all things of research value... "
Having said that, Bader hesitated to speak. Ben smiled, he had already guessed what the kid in front of him was thinking. To put it simply, this hand cannon is now in the hands of Bader, and he wants to keep it for research. However, judging from the fact that the Ministry of Finance has paid for goods earlier, Zero has been discharged from the hospital. Then Zero would naturally ask Bader to return the equipment. If it was someone else, as Badr, he would naturally refuse.
But because of the relationship between Ben and Zero, the God of Light had to specifically ask Ben what he meant.
"Return the kid's equipment, and don't ask how he got the weapon." Ben said lightly: "Then send out a mission to recover the weapon in the name of the headquarters. If money is needed, he will hand over the hand cannon to you." For you."
Badr's eyes lit up when he heard this, and the few words he said made him understand the difference between reluctant and voluntary. He immediately nodded yes and canceled the video chat. After the window closed, Baldr's words reminded Ben of Zero. I could have remembered that when Zero came back from the military base this time, he brought back not only a weapon that excited Badr, but also a woman.
A woman with at least the eighth level of ability!
