Chapter 1578 New Tactical Ideas

Old Kaweigong also couldn't understand the battle situation on the west side of the mountain range. However, as the commander-in-chief of the northern battlefield, the west side has nothing to do with him. He only needs to pay attention to whether the enemies in that direction have moved back, that's all.

The old man was busy fighting a battle of wits with an abyssal lord, and had no time to talk about what the empire to the west wanted to do with the floating island that suddenly appeared.

Besides, even if you want to reason, whether others will listen or not is another matter. For the Vader Military State, both sides are empires, and there is no question of who is inferior to whom.

As the floating island is the inheritance of ancient magical civilization, the thought of dealing with such people is really tiring. Although Old Kawei Gong is a great nobleman of the empire, he also knows very well what kind of face this kind of people with ancient heritage look like.

In addition, what he faced was the main force of the evil camp. The army is dominated by demons, and three Abyss Lords appear from time to time. It can be said that one wrong step on such a battlefield will cause serious losses. How can I care about other battlefields?

And as the casualties increase, the pressure brought by the enemy also increases.

This is not an illusion. Through the staff's calculation of the returns on various battlefields and the reconnaissance of the airship, the number of enemies is indeed increasing. Whether it's demons or troops from other races.

The only explanation is that the enemy has reinforcements. The reinforcements from the underground world are understandable, because there must be an entrance to the underground world somewhere on this battlefield. Even if there isn't one, the duergar can dig it.

The demon can continuously summon similar people from the abyss into the maze by sacrificing the dead on the battlefield.

In order to prevent such a situation, not only the corpses of the dead must be properly disposed of after every battle. No longer can only some evidence be left behind, and the rest hastily buried or burned.

It is even more necessary for church members from the light camp to appear to help purify the souls on the battlefield. Compared to flesh and blood, perhaps these souls of the dead with resentment and murderous intent are more favored by demons.

This also creates a troublesome situation, that is, after the battle, if the result is not that the human side can dominate the aftermath of the battlefield, then it can be regarded as a failure for the human side. In short, the enemy has a tendency to become stronger with each passing day.

Faced with such a war situation, even if Xilu was willing to hand over command, old Kawei Gong would not be able to handle such a huge matter.

In order to deal with the increasing number of enemies, the northern battlefield will inevitably shrink the defensive area, allowing our own forces to be more concentrated.

In this difficult situation, there are still outstanding achievements worthy of praise. That is, around the surviving magic tower, humans have won a great victory whether attacking or defending.

It's just that such a victory is difficult to replicate in large numbers. Because these remaining magic towers in the north of the Fengdi Mountains were far away from traffic hubs, they were not pushed down by the evil camp coalition forces.

The current situation of the war has changed from the original rapid march southward to a battle for regional areas with mutual exchanges. Only then did some of these originally unimportant magic towers become important nails hammered into strategic points.

It's a pity that there are very few magic towers like this. There are only a few magic towers worth using on the entire battlefield. Although there are still many surviving magic towers, those places are at most used to house wounded soldiers, or as a transfer station for supplies, or as a temporary shelter for the troops.

Such actual combat examples made Old Kaweigong think of the feasibility of a tactic. To this end, he found a magician who was hiding and pretending to be dead, and asked, "Is there a way to quickly build a magic tower?"

"What to do?" Lin asked, confused by the question.

"I'm thinking about the possibility of building a tower all the way and fighting all the way to the north. I don't want a complete magic tower. I know how expensive it is to build a three-story tower and how many precious materials it takes. All I want is the most basic one. Functionally, it can be used as a watchtower, it can launch attack magic and support nearby troops. It doesn’t matter if it’s not a complete magic tower.”

This means planning to insert towers all the way to the enemy's base camp! Why does such a tactic have a strong sense of immediacy? Lin said seriously: "Is it really okay if it is not a complete magic tower? Sir, do you know how many people will be frightened by this approach?"

"It means you do have such a method, right?" Old Kaweigong asked without hope at first, but now he asked with great interest.

Lin thought for a moment, snapped his fingers, and enveloped the Chinese army's tent with the magic of the night sky. Subsequently, many design drawings about the magic tower were unfolded, with many details that even a real magician might not be able to understand, let alone a noble.

Although old Duke Kawei was a great nobleman of the empire, his status did not allow him to understand someone's design. Lin showed this just to tell others that he had done serious research. He said:

"I do have a way to build a complete three-story magic tower, and the cost is unbelievably low. And as long as the preparations are done well in advance, the construction can be completed within a few days. , but it requires a lot of manpower. I think this definitely meets your requirements, old man, but have you ever thought about the consequences?"

After being asked this rhetorical question, Old Kaweigong thought about the reason for the magician's warning. He was not a young man who knew nothing. He immediately knew that if this method could be used to deal with demons, it would definitely be able to deal with noble lords.

After a long period of struggle between the nobles and the magicians, both literary and military, the magician's convention was established, leading to today's situation. If the magician in front of him can really achieve the tower insertion method he imagined, how will the noble lords respond in the future?

Will it change the current situation in Lost Land again? How to stop magicians in the future? But in fact, as long as you change one current situation, you can avoid a lot of trouble. That is to change the current situation in which the Magic Tower is monopolized by the Magician Association.

In this way, the pressure for new technologies developed by new tactics will shift from the heads of the noble lords to the heads of magicians.

At this stage, the lords can only have influence over the magic towers built in the city.

Although the dominance is still in the hands of the Magician Association, if the magic tower in the city belongs to a magician who has a grudge against the lord, it will be a disaster. Therefore, the lord at least has the right to suggest and veto the tower owners of these magic towers.

But if the dominance of the new type of battle tower can be separated from the Magicians Association, it can be said to be a major reshuffle that will affect the entire Lost Continent.

So the question is, how can we make the magician in front of us willing to release this technology?

Old Mr. Kawei knows that there are many technologies in front of him that have not been publicly circulated but have far-reaching impacts. Even the parts that have been made public, whether it is a forum or a bank, every technology has changed the minds of fans.

In fact, this idea is a bit too taken for granted, because it takes so much effort to turn a 'concept' into an applicable technology. This is not something you can conjure up by just tapping your head.

Knowing that passing a nuclear bomb and building one are two different things. If you can recite a few lines of Amitabha, you are a Buddha. There are many things in someone's heart that they just know but don't know why. And because of past actions, people have some unrealistic confidence.

But Lin didn't lie about the magic tower. Before, he was busy with people from the Technology Guild on similar work.

In order to build the magic towers on both sides of the Gate of the Abyss, Lin Ke carefully studied the construction method of rapid construction. The purpose is to build the magic tower with the permission of the humans, before the humans regret it, and before the demons try their best to stop it.

As long as there is permission and the Magic Tower is built, it will be useless for anyone to protest at that time. Even if only one tower is completed, under the cover of the first tower, the tower on the other side of the Abyss Gate will not be a problem.

According to the requirements of the old Kaweigong, rapid construction is undoubtedly a very important part in the war. Otherwise, based on the construction period of the Magic Tower, it could take decades or even hundreds of years.

Then the remaining part is to reduce the functions of the magic tower and reduce expenses. After all, if you want to conform to the old man's fantasy, it is not something that one or two towers can solve. To build a large number of towers, the construction cost is an unavoidable hurdle.

In fact, Lin started thinking about this matter a long time ago and has achieved certain results. Specifically, the old method of building a magic tower using magic materials was changed to using ordinary materials as rough embryos, covered with magic materials, and using a method similar to laying tiles to make the magic array work.

The reason why the home of the Holy City Estali has become a dragon's pond and a tiger's den in the eyes of outsiders is the actual embodiment of this technology.

Putting this approach on the magic tower can significantly reduce the construction cost while maintaining the original functions of the magic tower. And because the rough parts can be quickly shaped using cement, the speed of construction will not be slowed down by the inability to use magic shaping to directly change magic materials.

If you want to follow the old man's request without building a complete magic tower, it will be easier. Reducing the defensive function, reducing the internal living space, and building a tower with no other function except military use can meet such requirements.

However, with so many innovative technologies, it is still difficult to truly meet the requirements for building large numbers of towers. The difficulty is that the strange objects that can be used to create energy pools are not encountered casually.

An open secret among magicians: The reason why the magic tower is so strong is not to protect against external enemies, but to prevent the energy pool from getting out of control.

Although someone already has a way to reduce the cost of building a magic tower. However, it has not been actually built, so there is no guarantee that the new method is sufficient to constrain the energy pool and reduce the risk of loss of control.

The energy pool is also the key for magicians to firmly control the magic tower. There will be no magician secretly building an energy pool for the nobles. Without a corresponding building to restrain the energy pool, loss of control is the only result.

To build the corresponding building, it is the magic tower. Since a tower is to be built, how can it be possible to maintain a secret. So this is an unsolvable cycle.

In other words, the problem of the energy pool is the final difficulty in completing old Kaweigong's idea. This is also the part that Lin hasn't found a solution to yet.
