Chapter 1,440 Orbital Attack
Amid everyone's doubts, Lin looked at the old nobleman who was still out of the situation with pity. The tone was equally calm, and he said: "Let's do an interesting social experiment. After losing all the land and population, will the noble blood of a noble and the connections cultivated over a long time be useful to other nobles?" Meaning. I’ve always wanted to know the answer to this question.”
No wonder someone said it so callously. Killing with your own hands and killing with a button are absolutely two different things!
As a person who grew up playing various strategy games, he grew up in an environment where the number of troops and the health bar were of equal significance, and switching levels or restarting the game were considered normal operations. Even if Lin understands the catastrophe that his orders will bring, how much psychological burden will he feel if he doesn't do it himself when he is forced to do something?
Answer: Not at all.
Don't say that someone is cold-blooded. In fact, regardless of whether they grew up in a video game environment or not, how many people throughout the ages really know the weight behind the orders they give? Just because they don't do it themselves, they just need to speak out.
Just like the saying, "Only when you hold a child in your hand do you know the kindness of your parents." Without personally experiencing persecution or being persecuted, any compassion for the Mother of God is just a result of personal moral obsessiveness. Neither do you truly understand the weight of life, nor can you stand the test.
The loss of human nature is rather caused by the failure of education and the general environment. Those who are parents, teachers, people in power, experts and scholars of all kinds, don’t even think about getting rid of the relationship!
Since someone traveled through time, it can't be called smooth sailing in Lost Land, but there has always been a sense of alienation. There is definitely a lot of life on your hands, and even at first you are not used to it.
But in this environment where people cannibalize people, since we cannot expect a strong government and fair laws to protect us, protecting ourselves is the only way to survive.
So when a big noble wants to spend all his money and gamble his wealth with others, how can Lin respond? Why don't you just die and fulfill the other party's wish? In this way, can the incident be settled at the minimum cost?
Didn't I say it before? I was forced to panic, and all I had to do was open my mouth. The result was that the 29th fleet in the sky began to adjust its formation, and then the main guns of the entire fleet bombarded!
Since it was staying in low-Earth orbit and slightly lower, Fleet 29 did not need to move to the sky above the Archduke of Frias to shoot directly. So they just slightly adjusted into a stepped formation so as not to affect each other's rays.
Basically, there are two types of cannons for robots. One is a live ammunition electromagnetic cannon, and the other is an energy-type plasma cannon.
The former is powerful, has a fast rate of fire, and has a long range, but it also consumes a lot of money. After all, every live ammunition is a real loss of resources.
The power of the latter is also not weak, but in order to accumulate energy, the rate of fire is slower. Environmental factors such as high temperature, high heat, and strong magnetic field will also affect the plasma flow itself. Simply put, the range is shorter.
But the advantage is that most of the target parts hit by the plasma cannon are vaporized, which is different from the damage caused by being hit by live ammunition. And this result is more in line with the requirements of the Lord of the Four Elements.
Moreover, the distance from the fleet's hovering position to the target will not cause the plasma cannon to deviate from the beam; although it is affected by the atmosphere, the power will be attenuated to some extent. However, the robot fleet still used plasma cannons as its main attack method and launched an intensive bombardment.
Just watch countless streams of plasma shoot out from the metal monster in the sky, overwhelming the sky and throwing it toward the southeast. The plasma stream also burns air, causing a strange muffled sound.
This endless momentum seemed very beautiful when I first saw it. But seeing that the noise was getting louder and louder, and the muffled sound was like thunder, some people began to worry that something was wrong in the southeast direction. And the more gorgeous the magic, the more terrifying the damage. This is common sense in Lost Land.
Compared with the ignorant common people, the nobles in the meeting hall certainly knew that the territory to the southeast was the territory of the Grand Duke of Frias. It's just that things won't be as the magician said; but looking at the momentum, it doesn't seem impossible...
As the second person involved, Feng Fengjiu has completely infiltrated into the consciousness network of the robot fleet and is directing the attacks of the robots. Although a certain magician's request is just a simple sweep, where the ground is thicker and where the terrain is high, you need to greet more.
In all aspects, it is impossible without a director. Not only must the attack be most efficient, but some emergencies must also be handled. After all, with a large number of fleets, anything can happen. So on the surface, he just remained quiet and motionless.
Lin was also silent, his eyes reflecting the blue light of the plasma flow. There was only one thought in my mind, which was neither pleasure nor compassion, but 'it has finally begun'.
When the earth elemental creatures were transformed into robots and asked to have the power to fight five times for themselves, the main idea was to deal with the other three elemental planes. I really never thought about using it on the Lost Land, not even on the Abyss.
After all, he raised the knife and dropped it heavily. The consequences of such a cause are beyond your control.
As for the Grand Duke whose face was so dark that he could be burned as coal, Lin couldn't bear to feel proud or show off in front of him. But from his expression of war between man and god, Lin guessed that he was probably struggling to believe that what he was doing was true.
Blindfold your eyes and think you can't see. Cover your ears and think you can't hear. This ostrich mentality is something that no one in time knows how to evaluate. Anyway, face is more important than anything else. Even if you are killed to the point of death, your face cannot be lost. This is the world of aristocrats.
However, someone who had nothing to do with him and was close to the magician asked seriously: "You...are you...really attacking the Grand Duke directly?"
In Alegria's mind, war at least consisted of two sides lining up and then rushing to kill each other. Otherwise, when magic is cast, it is always aimed at a target within sight, otherwise who knows which dog the magic is cast on.
It was the first time in her life that she had seen this kind of attack with her head down and firing desperately in one direction. Alegria was not sure whether it would be effective or not. Not to mention that she herself didn’t know whether it was better to have no effect or to have an effect?
The empress' question was a bit difficult. It's better to use the Flash spell. Take her and move her to the territory of Grand Duke Frias to witness the results of the attack with your own eyes. Although a certain time traveler himself also has such thoughts.
But when it came to the Grand Duke's territory, Lin suddenly remembered what he felt was lacking before. He asked: "Whose property belongs to the nobles in the imperial city?"
Alegria did not realize that there was something wrong and said casually: "Of course it belongs to the nobleman." On the one hand, this is also true.
Lin pulled out a partial map of Neuquen Imperial City on the spot, with the focus still on Archduke Frias. Then he asked, "Isn't this the Grand Duke's mansion?"
This time the picture is not a flat surface, with a bunch of information attached, it is directly a miniature of the city. The Grand Duke's residence is very eye-catching, whether it is the family crest on the flag or the appearance of the building. After comparing the surrounding environment, Lin was recognized after a while.
With a casual grab, the real scene that everyone wanted to know its origin shrank into a small ball of light, and was thrown to the storm again. Lin said one more thing this time, saying: "Be careful not to hurt nearby buildings or innocent people outside the range."
The leader-level robot, who was still half-kneeling, did not make any unnecessary movements and allowed the light ball to sink into his body while saying, "Yes, sir."
The next second, a small beam of blue light shone from the pile of metal monsters in the sky, right above the residence of Archduke Frias. This beam of blue light is very conspicuous in the shadow of the giant ship in the sky, but it has no power at all.
Just when everyone thought that the metal monster in the sky had only so much ability, and when Archduke Frias was about to let go of his hanging heart, a lightning bolt struck down in the blink of an eye!
Many tiny sounds merged into one, emitting an astonishing power. The rising dust followed the trajectory of the thunder, rolled up into the sky, and then spread outwards, turning into a small mushroom-shaped cloud.
Seeing this battle, Lin was no less shocked than other nobles. Because what was shot down was a plasma cannon, not a nuclear weapon.
But when I think about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong with it. The plasma cannon won't explode, but the target it hits may explode. A grand duke's mansion doesn't have a few magic props in it? It is normal for these magic props to explode under the impact of powerful energy flow; it is also normal for them to explode at the same time with such a momentum.
And because most of the air is burned away by the high-heat plasma flow along the plasma cannon's firing trajectory, the air will naturally be replenished from other places. As for the ashes of the similarly burned mansion, since they are light and are forced to spread outwards, it is reasonable for them to follow the trajectory of the burned air and roll upwards. As for the final mushroom-shaped crown, it is the result of Ash Jin losing the restraints of other forces and naturally drifting outward.
In short, Lin was also shocked when he saw the power of the plasma cannon exploding in the main plane of the land for the first time. The only good thing is that unlike nuclear weapons, plasma cannons can also cause damage such as blast wind, high temperature, and radioactive dust to spread dozens of times farther.
In other words, during Lin's detection of the Archduke Frias's mansion in front of him, apart from the target building and the people and things inside, the people around him were at most made disgraced by the raised sand and dust. As for the Grand Duke's residence, all that remains now is a large pit, the depth of which is currently unknown.
Although the nobles did not have the same detection methods as Lin, they at least saw the towering mushroom-shaped clouds and the deafening explosions with their own eyes. Even if they did not see the deep crater caused by the bombardment of the Grand Duke's mansion, they did not think that the mansion could still remain intact, let alone the casualties inside.
】
No matter how careful you are, the mansion of a grand duke cannot be built as a fortress. Under attack from this level of strategic magic, no buildings except war fortresses or magic towers could survive.
It means that strategic-level magic is classified as a forbidden spell in the evaluation of the Magician Association, and it is especially taboo to use it against civilians. This is the most important agreement between the nobility and the Magician Association in the past.
So can we use the reason why magicians use strategic magic in areas where civilians gather to force the Magicians Association to join the game? Many nobles are thinking about this problem.
Although many people are still worried about whether this attack may be deflected and damage places other than the Grand Duke Frias' residence. For example, those whose residences are near the Grand Palace. But most people hold the attitude that it has nothing to do with themselves and think about their own interests.
