Chapter 553 Everything Happens for a Reason

Are the cannons powerful?

Absolutely tough.

Especially when confronted with dense formations, the lethality is absolutely one-on-one. It is not killing one by one, but slaughtering one by one, regardless of whether it is an ordinary soldier, a knight in heavy armor, or a big knight. , As long as it is within the absolute killing range, it can be blown up to the sky, including the champion knight.

As for the great knights and champion knights who opened the absolute barrier, it is unknown, and the leader of the Yongye army can't frantically use his core force as a test.

Not to mention facing large fixed-point targets, it is definitely an excellent choice for tackling tough problems.

But once it is on the skirmisher front, it is a bit difficult to use.

No matter how accurate the aim is, a single shot can only blow away one enemy.

How many artillery and mortars are equipped to the Third Army?

How many various shells are equipped?

Although Marshal Eriksson has never heard of the adjective golden ten thousand taels when the cannon is fired, judging from their workmanship and materials, they will definitely not be cheap. Their artillery has very little actual combat training. They are all carried out in the consciousness space of the mage tower.

There is only one reason why the lords who have always paid more attention to actual combat training have become so stingy, and that is the high cost. With the current financial situation of the Yong Ye Army, it is a bit unbearable.

This new weapon must be used on the point of the knife.

"But we can't just be beaten by them. Isn't their cavalry chasing our sentry? Find a way, use the conventional tactics in the past, and eat them. If there is no cooperation from the cavalry, just infantry, they will cause The threat will be much smaller." In the news that Xiao En sent back from the front line, he saw a new fighter.

These monsters have become smarter, and they have the advantages of being smarter, as well as the disadvantages of being smarter.

Although they are proficient in tactics now, they are also easy to hit tactics.

The cavalry was separated from the infantry and could easily be defeated individually.

Marshal Eriksson bowed his head and pondered for a while and said, "It's a bit difficult, but it's not impossible to think about it."

"I will call in the Guards Corps, Second Army and Shuangjiang Navy to support them as soon as possible, but according to their current marching speed, I'm afraid they won't be able to catch up. In the early stage, we will mainly rely on your Third Army and Explorer Navy." Sean said .

The most passive part of the Yongye army leader this time is that the Klein tribe's change was too sudden, and their main force was scattered in various defense areas, and it would take nearly a week to mobilize at the fastest.

However, the Klein tribe rushed forward day and night, not to mention those skeleton knights, even those undead Klein soldiers, within three or four days, they could reach the city.

"Understood." Even if Sean didn't say anything, Marshal Eriksson had already considered this point, but the undead Klein tribe was no longer at its peak.

In the beginning, it was weakened a lot by the Yong Ye army, and then an army of more than 50,000 was smashed to death under the city wall of Brother Port.

For the past two years, the leader of the Eternal Night Army has been implementing a new force plan in the Swamp of Despair. The priority to evacuate is the crocodile people around the Klein tribe. The undead Klein tribe has no chance to replenish their troops.

No matter how monstrous and powerful the spell energy is, it has no ability to create something out of nothing.

According to the rough estimate of the Yongye army leader, it would be quite remarkable if the undead Klein tribe can put together another 50,000 army. On this basis, there may be a floating rate of 20 to 30% for those old, weak, sick and disabled prepare.

Even so, the Third Army still suffers a big disadvantage in terms of numbers. The number of enemies is several times that of itself. Although there is still an explorer navy, they can't be dragged to land, right?

The main thing is to provide transportation support on the Donau River to ensure that the Third Army can appear in any position and launch an attack on the enemy.

"What about those scholars?" Marshal Eriksson asked.

Among Sean's series of decisions, the scholars at the Scholars Conference were not mentioned.

"There are too many, and there is no way to evacuate them all, and the Shuangjiang Navy must give priority to carrying the guards to support." Xiao En couldn't help but sighed, "The Reaper Waterway is not only the enemy's Reaper, but also ours. The god of death will limit our transportation capacity at critical times."

"That's because our strength in the Swamp of Despair is too weak, and some are too dependent on the output in the Andes Basin. When some non-core industries move to the Swamp of Despair, it will be fine." Marshal Ericson obviously After thinking about similar problems, I found the crux of the matter.

"I don't know this, but if we don't solve the Klein tribe, how can I dare to move our pillar industry here? If it weren't for confidentiality considerations, the Scholars Conference would not be held in Brother Port, but in the Andes Basin. " Xiao En frowned and said, "We are a little bit of a tiger, and we should have made up our minds at the beginning, and weeded out the grass regardless of casualties."

"If the lord makes such a decision, he will not be the lord." Marshal Eriksson replied.

Even if he did it all over again, he didn't believe that Sean would do such a thing without regard to casualties. After all, until now, their understanding of the black fog area that covered the sky and the sun was still very limited. On the contrary, it is easy to lose troops and generals.

This kind of enemy is easy to ebb and flow, once one's own people are transformed into that kind of monster, it will be even more unbearable.

"It's true!" Sean just had a mouthful.

According to the special environment they were in at the time, and the fact that they had enough good cards in their hands, it was really not appropriate to make that kind of risky decision.

Generally speaking, they have no problem with the Klein tribe's decision-making.

The problem is that there have been a lot of incidents recently, which made their original plan delayed again and again. Otherwise, the entire Klein tribe would be bulldozed by them. How could there be so many things?

There is no medicine for regret in this world, the most important thing now is to find a solution.

Before more news was delivered and the golden eagle of the soul rushed over, Sean had no plans to think about.

After wandering around for several times, Sean suddenly asked: "What is the purpose of these monsters, you said? They've already been hit in the Brothers Port once, so why did they hit here again?"

This question stunned Marshal Eriksson. I couldn't help asking: "Do these monsters have a purpose? They can't measure it with common sense at all, right?"

"Everything that happens has a purpose, and these monsters are no exception. There is no way to measure it with common sense. That's because we don't know what they need." Sean obviously doesn't think so, "At the beginning on the Donau River , Aren’t they going for the Dragon Skeleton Battleship? The subsequent expansion is also to capture more people... the Dragon Skeleton Battleship! How did I forget it?”

"What's the matter? Did your lord find anything new?" Marshal Eriksson asked hastily.

"The first two abnormal reactions of these monsters were directly related to the dragon skeleton warship. The first time was to intercept and snatch the dragon skeleton warship, and the second time was after the dragon skeleton warship was transported into the black mist area by them. You said Could their abnormal behavior have something to do with the Dragon Ship?" Sean felt that he had grasped the key point of the whole matter.

"This..." Regarding this point, Marshal Eriksson obviously had no way to intervene.

Sean didn't expect to get any enlightening advice from Marshal Eriksson, rather than analyzing it for him, it was better to sort out his own thoughts: "The reason why these monsters attach so much importance to the Dragon Skeleton Battleship must have something to do with the technique. There is a direct relationship between magic energy. The other party has been living in a place for a long time without moving, just sending these puppet-like monsters to plunder everywhere. Could it be because of its special situation, just like myself, whose body is locked in the mage tower? Can't move, so I have to borrow this method?"

The more I think about Sean, the more I feel that there is such a possibility, and it is very big.

The other party's purpose for wanting the Dragon Skeleton Battleship may be to help him out of trouble.

The it Xiao En mentioned naturally refers to the manipulator behind the undead soldiers of the Klein tribe.

Sean had already analyzed the situation of the Klein tribe at the very beginning.

Their condition does not meet a series of characteristics of mutant return to ancient times.

Their mutation is mainly due to the ultra-high negative magic energy flowing in the blood vessels, which transformed them into this kind of monster between death and life.

In other words, the condition is typically artificial.

Some people once speculated that this was the method of this tribe, Klein.

But it was quickly rejected.

Klein is not the kind of master of both martial arts and martial arts like Elder Netia, he is an out-and-out champion knight, and Xiao En manipulated the thunderbolt golden eagle to strike a heavy thunder, even if he survived, he was seriously injured.

To say that he has done such an earth-shattering thing is really to think highly of him.

Behind all this, there must be other behind-the-scenes masterminds who are proficient in manipulating and using magical energy.

Sean once guessed that the other party had something similar to an energy reaction chamber in his hands, and the black fog area that covered the sky and the sun was the most obvious sign.

This is not ordinary black smoke or black mist, but the magical energy full of the smell of death. Strictly speaking, this kind of magical energy is not in the category of the six basic elements that are often said.

At the beginning, Xiao En simply thought that the dark attribute magic energy, or a variant of the dark attribute magic energy, but with the substantial development of soul consciousness this year, after more in-depth research, he has a certain understanding of this kind of magic energy. a deeper understanding.

This kind of magical energy full of the taste of death is basically a mixture of soul consciousness being crushed and fused with dark magic energy.

This is no longer pure magic energy, what it is, Xiao En can't say.

That's why when you are in it, there will always be a coldness of facing death.

Because they themselves incorporate death.

As for the source of soul consciousness, it goes without saying.

Each of those monsters between the living and the dead represents a living person, a soul.

Obviously, those poor crocodile people not only had their bodies transformed, but their souls were also extracted, crushed into pieces, mixed with magical energy, and injected back into their bodies.

This kind of mixed spell energy, which is temporarily named death, is definitely not formed naturally, but completely man-made, and a lot of spell energy is required in the process.

If there is no large-scale device similar to the energy reaction chamber that gathers the energy of spells, manpower alone, even if it is a control-level warlock, let alone one or two, even if there are ten or eight, they will not be able to make such a big one. Come on.

Compared with the latter, Sean is more inclined to the former.

Of course, it is not ruled out that natural coincidences have been used by people.

A series of events this year have broadened Sean's horizons, and naturally made his speculations bolder.

At the beginning, they speculated about the mastermind behind the scenes, and kept looking for people. What if it wasn't a person?

Gods and monsters are just one aspect. Sean is still more inclined to man-made, but this man-made factor can be expanded to a wider range. After all, old monsters like the ancestors of the Seven Apostles exist, and maybe there are other people who break the rules?

Therefore, the leader of the Yongye army made some adjustments in the direction of the Klein tribe's anomaly investigation, and collected some strange stories about local customs from the crocodile tribe.

Needless to say, there are indeed some clues that are not clues.

The crocodile tribe near the Klein tribe has always spread a kind of death worship. They believe that the death of a person is only the death of the body, and the soul will not die, but will enter the world of the dead to live, and this world of the dead has gods If they can believe in and serve him during their lifetime, they will have a higher starting point after death comes and enter the world of the dead, and they can even become the messengers of this god.

And the Klein tribe is the hardest hit area for this death worship. Their elder Klein is even more devout, and has always claimed to be the spokesperson of the God of Death in the world.

This mixed rule model, which mixes leaders, beliefs, etc., makes the elder Klein's control over the Klein tribe far superior to that of ordinary tribes.

This is why, when the entire crocodile tribe is alive and dead, the great elder Klein only needs one sentence to summon all the soldiers of the Klein tribe back, even if he breaks with the council of elders representing the entire crocodile tribe, the entire Klein tribe There is no second word between up and down.

That's why, when he saw the undead soldiers of the Klein tribe, the elder Nidia yelled at him, what did this bastard Klein do to his tribe.

Apparently, Great Elder Nidia linked this undead to the god of death worshiped by the Klein tribe.

Whether the God of Death exists or not, Sean doesn't know. Before verifying it, whether to deny or admit it is a wrong choice.

The possibility that someone is pretending to be a ghost cannot be ruled out.

It doesn't matter if it's a person, a god, a god or a ghost.

As long as you have wisdom, you must have your own purpose.

If you take apart the behavior of the undead Klein tribe, there are indeed many things that are difficult to understand.

If you look at it in series from the beginning to the end, there is a certain context to be found.

These undead soldiers of the Klein tribe who attacked suddenly seemed to be a kind of cover.

cover for what?

Of course, it is the action of protecting one's own creator, one's own god.

The Eternal Night Army leader sees the undead Klein tribe as a threat.

If the undead Klein tribe really had a wise leader sitting in command as they had guessed, they might not have regarded the leader of the Eternal Night Army as a threat. When the whole army is wiped out.

Don't think that the Yongye army is vulnerable to a single blow just because they are leading the army of destroying spirits.
