The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich

Chapter 361 Chess Board

The war did not go smoothly, and no one should be said to be optimistic about this battlefield.

The main strategic objective is both the dock area of the main battlefield, which is now at least a few dozen metres beneath the water, where the Haitians are known as the dragon meteorite, where the blood of the semi-god Hydragon is dripping, and where the remaining dragon blood is highly toxic to ordinary life, but still irresistible to other beasts, where a large number of marine giants converge.

And to get there, at least a dozen blocks of seafarers have to be killed, and I'm afraid if we get into a stalemate, seafarers' support will arrive soon.

So, for this war, Dassos and his staff have also done their homework, and at least 10 of the more than sixty previous counter-attacks have chosen to break through this direction, not just for real surprise intelligence gathering, threat eradication, but also to paralyze the opponent's psychological battle.

“Dragon meteorite attacked again? I don't know why humans like to fight anywhere, whatever they do, but let the beasts handle it themselves. ”

In fact, for the Sea Nation today, the first strategic point is their royal and temple, while the second is all kinds of entertainment facilities, as for the original pier where the beasts gather... Do the Sea Nation need a boat? It's still pig farming... beast farming.

In the five previous raids, two choices were made in this direction. Perhaps the Haitian dispatch is still timely, but the front-line warriors have acutely noticed that the other party's response has begun to slow down. At least 30% of reinforcements have arrived later than before, and the number of reinforcements is at least half lower!

Now that the Haitians have paralysed such attacks, the time has come to launch a real counter-attack and the “dawn” is upon us.

The warm sun will not light up the world for more than an hour, and now the vast majority of the seafarers are still in deep sleep, awake after nine o'clock, and this is their heaviest time of the day.

Unlike in the pitch-black depths, the warm seas that experience the sun also begin to imitate the time of other races, but perhaps today is doomed from the day when they think they have won ahead of time and renounce their proactive right to war.

As a caller of war, the Orlandians did not hesitate to be at the forefront of the battle and civil unrest, during which their main fleet was severely damaged and all three fleets dispersed, but during this counter-attack the number of participating and emerging battleships accumulated, still exceeding 30 heavy and 100 medium warships.

This is the bottom line of a super empire, which, once it enters the war, converts a large number of civilian and commercial industrial industries into military industries, and if it fails to smash them in one face, their deep industries will drag any opponent into the hell of a protracted war.

Obviously, the original battleships were not capable of fighting in such an environment. The water was too shallow and complex. Even in areas where the water was very deep, the spire of a house on land could have been a deadly reef before, but it was absolutely impossible to fight against the sea without a boat.

The Orlandians were in a dilemma, but with the technology of floating warships, they finally had a solution. The precious information from the North had spread to every shipyard in Orlando, and all the boat workers and designers had not rested since that day, and the Orlandians had concentrated on modifying their boats.

Complete floats are still not possible. It is necessary to design, select materials, enchant, and assemble a little bit from the bones. If only floating engines are installed, the ship's total weight is reduced, and the ship's water consumption is reduced, it is possible to do so.

Perhaps this does not seem meaningful, but it does offer the possibility of a complete metallization of the bottom of the ship.

If the boat is lighter, there will be extra buoyancy. Can it be heavily armored? So, with the help of countless blacksmiths, that thick protective armor patch was put on, and in order to ensure enough armor strength to crush the reef without wear, the Orlanders lost heart and sickness using precious magic metals, which ordinary adventurers can't afford to build weapons.

According to post-war statistics, the demonized metals used by those ships cut Orlando's treasury by one fifth enough to rebuild a country called Kagsi.

When the Ironclad technology is still immature, and the engine technology is still unrelated, Orlando's craftsmen combined with the floating technology to create a semi-finished Ironclad ship is truly amazing.

Unlike close relatives on Earth, the Ironclad ships here were not initially considering defense artillery of their own kind, but from the scavengers at the bottom of the ship and the “reefs” they might encounter.

And once engine technology is overtaken, the real heavy iron armored ships are bound to come to this era, but now these modified semi iron armored ships are enough.

Compared to prototypes, they have more amazing defensive capabilities and, thanks to their excessive anti-gravity engines, they also have short-term floating capability to cope with various terrain lines. (Dasos: Not buoyant enough? Then build a few more engines and replace them with new ones if they explode overload. Bring enough sailors to the boat, we have magic from magicians, we have enough industrial capability, we have money! Leniency!)

Different people are not stupid, and when intelligent races are pushed to the limit, all sorts of seemingly fantastic modifications are likely to achieve odd effects that the regular army will never achieve.

Of course, if the Orlando Empire hadn't crushed the industrial level of countries on metallurgy, especially alloy forging, even if it had ideas, it wouldn't have been possible at all, well, more importantly, they were rich enough, and war was a combination of national power fights, and as super millionaires they were at their disposal.

And to cover up the fragile planks without iron armor, and to keep up with the night wars, these battleships were painted black, and in the near future, these always brought the end to the opponent's black fleet, also known as the "Funeral Fleet." ”

This is undoubtedly an ace, and even at the most dangerous time on the battlefield, when the flesh and blood of countless warriors became the flesh targets of the seas, these modified warships continued to be revamped in the warehouse, with no intention of putting them on the battlefield.

“Such a rebuilt warship can have a surprising effect on the battlefield for the first time… What kind of ace would it be if it didn't play at a critical time and get strategic points to determine the outcome of the war? ”

As an emperor, Dasos was clearly exceptionally qualified, at least in terms of heart, and at a time when many sacrifices had borne fruit, hiding long-standing Ace cards had yielded astonishing results.

When that black fleet was passing through the night, no one could stop them, but the vast body was extremely sensitive, and once touched the reef card owner, the short-term ability to float was even more daunting.

These heavy warships crushed past the waters, and there were no more "reefs”, not even large seafarers, and that solid hull was enough to wipe everything out.

When the alarm rang and just walked onto the battlefield, the seamen saw such a battleship and couldn't cope.

Digging through the bottom? The coating of the magic metal and the protective deck of the steel plate mixed enough to deal with the artillery, the rust anchor of the sea giant, though it broke through the perimeter, was actually embedded in it, and the whole person was dragged away.

Throw a giant wave and drown each other? Those battleships are too stable to automatically adjust the depth of food. To submerge these large iron blocks that can adjust the weight with antigravity engines, ordinary water system practitioners can't do anything about it. Please use a curse instead.

Artillery attacks on upper body weaknesses? The Haitians did not have artillery, and the wizards' duel was suppressed by more than three times the number of wizards on board.

Oran's advantages in metallurgy and forging are too obvious. Patented technologies such as all-body alloy armor and explosive magic alloys have explained everything. The coating of these hybrid magic metals is still an alloy technique handy to Oran blacksmiths. Let alone the sea's cold weapons and hands, which is that ordinary five-ring magic doesn't work.

The attitude of the two sides to the war is completely different, and naturally the outcome is completely different.

But, unfortunately, even though heavenly people and humans are on the side of humankind, even if the progress is relatively smooth, it has not gained much advantage in the first half hour of the war, and while the progress has been smooth, it has not resulted in widespread casualties among the most desirable spoils of war, the Haitians.

Such a special battlefield, which is destined to be unoccupied, naturally becomes the first element in the elimination of the other party's viable forces, but the result is disappointing, with few deaths and injuries, especially among high-ranking seafarers.

Reason? Say 10 grand is still the first one —— Dili.

Yes, the seamen can't help it, but the ships can't help it!

For the seafarers, as long as they dive into the deep water, as long as they flee far away, what can those warships that must remain on the water do? These big iron blocks are very slow.

With artillery? Even a foolish commander would not make such a choice.

Magic attack? How much more can the Mage's precious magic reap across the sea?

Shooting a giant harpoon in a bed crossbow? That does make a difference, but the Smart Seas are not stupid to look at each other's attacking dumb fish, and that role is almost negligible as long as they keep their distance.

Send someone down for pursuit? This attention is simply wonderful, for the sea people... this is almost a stupid way of uniting enemies, this is such an initiative to feed the sea people, the sea people wait too long for humans to go after the water!

On the fleet flagship, the battleship Bad Shark, Dasos is also desperate. It is true that many circumstances have been taken into account in the battlefield postulate, but the loss of the other party is still less than he expected, reducing the likelihood that the other party's strategic and dynamic goals will be fully achieved. Then, even if the dock area is struck, the subsequent counter-pulsation will be astonishing.

And such modified warships are not invincible, and over time, weaknesses will be discovered.

In the clouds, Renee and others looked shocked at the battlefield in front of them.

Perhaps it was a constant victory that gave her confidence that she was not too impressed by the Orlandos who had eaten in Roland's hands repeatedly, but today, when she saw those suddenly rising battleships, she knew what a superpower was.

The Duchy of Donglan is also building ships, only technically and even ahead of Orlando, but the whole Donglan can't find a decent shipyard, and the metallurgy and forging process is extremely backward, otherwise Roland will not be forced to build warships with the magic of the dead.

But even so, the resources and funds required by the giant warships are astronomical, and even if the cost of conservation and maintenance is not low, the Ultra Light is a live warship, and "jealousy" itself will devour evolution to restore the wounded, so as not to eat up the entire Donglan treasury, whereas the subsequent warships, Roland, did not even consider the manufacture of Donglan, and directly lost the Siro Empire to manufacture it.

A technology requires countless processes, materials, processes, manpower, and so on, from drawing to physics. With the acquisition of molding ships, skilled workers, designers, equipment, well, Roland has acquired an entire industrial chain from Oran, which is why it can directly digest the most advanced technology, and that is why Donglan is still the only country in the world with mature floating ship technology.

And even if Dong Lan sold some of the technology, it would take years for the floating ships of other countries to build up their fighting power, and Renee has always taken this as a baseboard and was implicitly proud of it.

“The White Wolf Knight of all Silver Warfare collides across the human world? Oh, our aurora knights are all gold! Orlando's alchemy, forging and metallurgy are famous all over the world, but so far it has not been possible to conquer the technology of a floating warship, and Orlando seems to be nothing. ”

But now, the “funeral fleet" broke her confidence, and with this industrial potential alone, and the potential of the vast land, rich resources and massive population, it was easy enough to crush Donglan.

“Once the two countries are at war...”

As the leader of a country, such assumptions will never be superfluous. After all, there is only an absolute interest in inter-State interaction. Without absolute friends, yesterday's allies have become too many of today's dead enemies.

Unbeknownst, she remembered her own answer when she asked why Roland wanted to rebuild the industrial system while the country was still struggling with the problems of people's lives.

“It's not that I'm a war freak, I'm prepared for war as a whole, but that war is inevitable. You said even without a complete industrial system, you were going to win the war. ”

“You underestimate those big countries, maybe they can't handle our advanced warships on their own, but they have 10 of us, and they're not afraid of the damage, and then they build, and it doesn't matter if the soldiers die, and then we do? That is all we have in our households, and the absence of an industrial system is tantamount to a lack of hematopoietic functions, without which a complete industrial system cannot cope with a protracted war. ”

“Now the Duchy of Donglan is actually on the volcano, looking beautiful, but actually baked on the volcano. The great powers can fail countless times, they can lose, and we, only one wrong step, are the abyss of never climbing, and I don't want to go to gambling. ”

At this moment, in the face of the harsh reality, it was only when I remembered Roland's seemingly profound words that Renee completely saw the gap between Donglan and the mainland powers, at least for now, with absolutely no comparability.

“It's just a quasi-superpower...”

Renee was not a fool, but as she discovered the gap, she adjusted the whole strategic thinking and discovered that someone had been integrating the whole of the North.

“The Lan Alliance? ”

Yes, it would not be enough if it were Donglan alone, but with seven countries in the North, such as Silwell, the situation is different, and Roland has been integrating and redeploying them economically, politically and commercially, and is in fact already prepared.

“Brother Roland thinks it should be more than that. What else is he going to do? In the words of the Lan Alliance, the Duchy of Casomi, the country of San Antonio, is too painful, and to pull this nail out and let San Antonio stop from the north, we need the support of other superpowers...”

“No wonder Brother Roland not only invited big countries to march and celebrate, but also gave each other a lot of benefits in terms of technology exchange. By the way, there are also envoys from major countries, who have always been lazy to run by Brother Roland himself, and the letters have been personally read. ”

“The Dwarves and Elves of the North were clearly difficult to deal with, and he took the initiative to grab them. There had also been recent diplomatic exchanges with the countries of the North, and he insisted on talking about the obviously difficult proposal of a unified LAND alliance to eliminate tariffs and free movement of residents. Moreover, he always communicated with Sister Grina, and then the two countries made a common political declaration, which, although irrelevant in itself, seemed to indicate a common position of retreat. And that thing... how much did he do in the dark! ”

Roland did not disguise what he did to his companions, but was now able to understand Roland's strategic deployment alone, from a single incident, and Renee went further towards a mature leader.

And while she correctly understood Roland and Donglan's place in the world and strategic decisions, she also knew what to do.

“We were going to watch the show and get Orlando and the Sea to come back for cheap when they hurt each other, but now it seems to be nothing personal, but if we are a representative of a country, we are too small. What we need now is a proper demonstration of our strength to the world and too much support, so that the Orlandos owe us more people and more in return in the future. So, now that the battlefield is at an impasse, it's our best stage to break the impasse. ”

There is no better way to add flowers than to send charcoal in the snow. Wallgrass is always annoying. Since the determination has been made, what are you hesitating to do?

“Knights of Aurora, Silver Cross, go! Arctic Light, drop a new weapon. ”
