Chapter 1459: Digging a Hole in an Upright Manner

Although Ricardo Kawi cannot summon elemental elves, as a lord and a high-ranking nobleman, he has to deal with elemental elves a lot.

Sometimes I pray for good weather and borrow the abilities of the elemental elves. Not to mention using the power of elemental elves to fight against enemies in war. Therefore, he knew a lot about the temperaments of the elemental elves.

To put it simply, it can be summed up in eight words: twisting the facts and breaking the truth.

The truth is distorted because elemental elves are more keen than demons to find loopholes in words to misinterpret the summoner's original intention. As for the words of breaking one's word, these are just comments made in anger by those summoners who did not have their wishes fulfilled.

The elemental elves still believe in trustworthiness, in a way they understand. Therefore, those magicians who are good at summoning elemental spirits are not so much good at summoning elemental spirits as they know how to deal with elemental spirits.

If you want to use elemental elves to achieve your own goals, the trick is to make simple and easy-to-understand requests to reduce the possibility of being misinterpreted. For example, someone made an agreement with the robots to "conquer the outside world five times" for him.

】

Perhaps such a request would be misinterpreted as an 'order five times', but at least the number of times is clear and cannot be negotiated afterwards. Therefore, Lin was very careful when giving instructions. He had to say it all in one go, and he could not supplement it one by one, or try to explain his orders 'more clearly'. Such practices can easily be expanded upon to explain.

The old man is so old and has so much experience. He often sees teams of magicians and adventurers who have been tortured to death by the actions of the elemental elves. So as soon as Lin mentioned the origin of the robots, he gave up those unrealistic ideas.

Anyway, those words were just words from the beginning. As an introduction, try to see if there are other possibilities.

Now that he knew the origin of that power, Ricardo Carvey was curious about another question, and that was why?

Lin could probably guess what the old man wanted to ask in just three words. The only question is how he hooked up with the robot fleet and whether he has a chance to get a piece of the pie.

He briefly talked about how earth elemental creatures were transformed into robots, and then swept across the entire earth elemental plane. Although those battles were skipped and not mentioned, the old man was also informed that someone actually managed to conquer an elemental plane without making a sound.

Of course, the key point is that in the process of transforming into robots, the earth elemental elves have promised to fight the outside world for themselves five times. And this is the reason why he can command the robot fleet to bomb the Grand Duke of the Karlsruhe Empire.

"So, how many more times can you command attacks like that?" the old man asked seemingly casually. But from the flash of light in his eyes, Lin estimated that this should be his biggest concern.

Counting on his fingers. Lin said: "Not counting those scattered individual summons, the entire robot fleet is required to dispatch to conquer the wind elemental plane. After that, the troops are divided into three places, and one is stationed in the wind elemental plane. This squadron should not account for the number of times. . But the other two teams that attacked the water elemental plane and the fire elemental plane respectively also occupied one time each. Then there was this attack on the Archduke of Frias. As long as the robots did not skimp on the calculation of the number of times, , I still have one hundred and forty-three chances to summon a single fleet like the attack on the Archduke of Frias. Calculating conservatively, at least one hundred times is no problem."

It does not hide the limits of its abilities at all, just like a big country back home does not hide the number of its nuclear weapons. It means telling others that I have a way to use nuclear weapons to clear the ground, so don’t jump in front of me if you have nothing to do.

As long as the exact number and placement location are not mentioned, this deterrence is full. Only those small countries need to cover up the problems they have or do not have, because they are afraid of being pre-emptively suppressed, or exposing their lack of ability to counter-retaliation, counter-retaliation, and counter-retaliation.

To others, it sounds like this ability of a certain magician has its limits. This is a good thing!

However, if you think about it carefully, you will realize that this issue of times is just a joke. How could there be more than a hundred grand duchies to spend these times? If we take a smaller territory, we can't use smaller quantities to achieve the same goal.

Even if all determination is exhausted, who will be ranked first? Who ranked second, third, or even number 143, and consumed all the opportunities available to this magician?

Everyone would want to use other people's lives and other people's territory to consume, rather than use their own top. Then no one will be willing to stand up and be a martyr who burns himself and illuminates others.

The old man thought to himself, it would be better to regard this magician as someone who can summon unlimited robot fleets and formulate tactics against him.

If there is an opportunity to use up the opponent's trump card, no one will risk their own lives and annihilation to provoke this person. This glimmer of hope has invisibly weakened the fighting spirit of many potential opponents. As long as he is not forced to jump over the wall, no one is willing to deal with this person.

In fact, for Lin, if more than a hundred grand duke and king-level territories were to cause trouble, instead of wasting more than a hundred opportunities, it would be better to directly fire a Star Destroyer Cannon into the core of the earth.

Anyway, when so many people are really targeting me, I probably won't be able to live in Myland anymore. Then it will be meaningless to me whether this planet will continue to exist.

As for whether doing this will cause resistance from the Lord of Guardians and even the World Trees... Well, we'll tell then.

Of course someone's evil thoughts were left unspoken. In fact, even if I say it out loud, I'm afraid I have to explain what a 'Star Destroyer Cannon' is before it scares people.

Not to mention whether one person's explanation alone can make others understand the power of the Star Destroyer Cannon; in fact, even Lin is not sure that the Star Destroyer Cannon can really exert the power it should have. After all, this is a world with individual power and gods.

There are so many unreasonable things that ignore the rules of physics. Sometimes I really think about whether science really has limits. At least there are limits to the science and science fiction I know. Or you can start looking for yourself and let yourself know where the path for science to go beyond these limits is.

The old man asked some more questions related to the robot fleet, and Lin explained them one by one with the perfunctory attitude of explaining thermal weapons to primitive people. I thought that no matter how I explained it, others would not be able to understand it. Unexpectedly, the old man actually said that he understood it!

I just don’t know if this understanding is true or false.

But when Lin thought about it carefully, although the knowledge on the technology side was fundamentally different from the knowledge on the magic side, they were not completely unrelated. Can't we use magic-side knowledge to understand the robot fleet? They are basically earth elemental elves, proper magic creatures.

So Lin also put away his contemptuous mentality and once again changed his concept of belonging to the time-traveling people, but he didn't know why he was arrogant.

In terms of facts, the current robot fleet does not have enough high-end combat power to defeat the enemy. There are just enough of them, so I can't finish them in a while.

The bombardment of the Archduchy of Frias took advantage of this. He held Apollos back, but the nine heroic spirits under the Lord of Guardians were not strong enough to stop the bombardment of the entire robot fleet. Before they destroyed the entire fleet, the Grand Duchy was destroyed first.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to think carefully, Lin discovered that the lower limit of the robot fleet's strength was indeed above the Lost Land, but the upper limit of its strength was lower than those of truly high-end combat capabilities. If there is one advantage, it is the large number.

There are over a million battleship-class robots, and there are 350 million robots at all levels. Maybe even if all the adventurers and troops in the entire Lost Land were gathered together, there wouldn't be such a number. Not to mention the question of which single lord or country can withstand the vigorous battle of the robots.

But it's still the fact that no matter how good the weapon is, it will only cause damage if it is used. If the person holding the weapon does not want to use it, no damage will be done despite the threat.

Although he thought he understood the character of the magician in front of him, the old man came here to ask so many questions. In fact, he was just considering whether he and the empire behind him would have the opportunity to borrow such power. I never thought that this man would one day launch a war of conquest or destruction across the entire land.

Just like the man himself commented, that power can be used to destroy, but cannot conquer.

In addition to the robot fleet, the old man also had another focus when he came here, and that was the rise of the constitutional monarchy in the Karlsruhe Empire.

He took out a magic stone and unfolded the water mirror screen. The text on it was the two public constitutions and royal laws. As the drafter of the law, Gabrash Tripwood's name is extremely loud among those who care about this matter. Whether it is a good reputation or a bad reputation is another matter. What the old man wanted was for Lin to explain the parts he couldn't understand.

Although Ricardo Carvey is a martial artist, he is not illiterate, so he can certainly understand the text above. But the law should not only look at the surface, but also look at the intention, the things behind it, and even the impact it will cause.

Even if the writer doesn't understand all of these things, at least he will know more than others. Whether those thoughts are right or wrong is another matter. It is normal for many things to turn out differently than expected.

Of course Lin is not hiding anything, but he is not optimistic that this scheme will sprout in the Gwana Empire. Simply put, the current Gwana Empire does not have the same soil as the Karlsruhe Empire. Most civilians identify with the ruling class and feel that they are doing a good job. There is no demand for change.

But whether such a concept will take root and sprout and grow suddenly at some point in the future, Lin cannot guarantee.

However, after listening to Lin's explanation, the old man had a deeper understanding, but he still frowned. Said: "Although such a system disperses the power in the hands of our nobles, overall, it should be a good thing for the empire. Let's not discuss whether this is suitable for implementation in the empire. Why do I think there is a big hole behind it? It's the same as when you dig behind the bank. Once you do it, it's like jumping into a pit and you can't climb out."

"Hey, do you want to know?"

The old man nodded and looked innocent.
