Chapter 744 Their Weakness Is the Puppet
In the territory of the Maro Kingdom, the Maro Kingdom army fighting against the plant torrent is retreating again and again. If it weren't for the flying boats in the air that were always afraid of each other and suppressed from time to time.
I'm afraid that by now, the land lost would not be as large as two or three provinces. Originally, I wanted to become the most powerful top kingdom, but now my kingdom is invaded again.
Not only is the strength constantly weakened, but also the land is constantly lost. The kingdom originally lost one of the two gold masters, and the remaining one is in the capital and cannot go out casually. Now there are yellow-level masters on the front line, but they are not from the Maro Kingdom and don't listen to orders at all. All along, these people don't know what they are doing.
Those people in the Mage Association are even more cherishing their lives. When they encounter any dangerous situation, they will evacuate as soon as possible. Sometimes, in order to protect a mage, I don't know how many soldiers will die.
For this reason, many soldiers and grassroots generals are very complaining. Fighting is becoming more and more listless. If this continues, the Maro Kingdom really doesn't know how much land it can retain.
Thinking of the miserable situation of Rusyala and Karimsi now, the royal family of the Maro Kingdom does not want to become like this in the future.
If it were normal, the Maro Kingdom would definitely surrender, but now there is the Holy Dragon Empire suppressing them from behind, and they can't even surrender, so they can only continue to bite the bullet and fight here.
During this period, the flying boats sent by the Holy Dragon Empire also suffered heavy losses, with the destruction of more than 500 flying boats in five formations.
In return, nearly 1,000 flying boats in nine formations on Chi Nan's side were destroyed. The two sides have been killing each other in the high-altitude field and can't stop at all. If there were not too many airships, the outcome of this battle would really be uncertain.
The problem now is that the Holy Tree Territory continues to add the number of airships, while the Holy Dragon Empire has gradually begun to shrink back because of the huge losses of flying boats. It's not that the Holy Dragon Empire can't take it out, but that the forces supporting them are about to be unable to bear it.
The latest flying boats must not be taken out, and those taken out are some second-hand goods that have been eliminated in the past. But these second-hand goods are also alchemy flying boats, and the number cannot be too large. Because of this battle, they have already suffered too much loss. It can be said that if it were not for the huge interests and domestic pressure, they themselves would not want to persist.
At this moment, in the command center, the old wizard was still calm and not anxious at all.
"Everyone, things have come to this point. If we continue to persist, our Maro Kingdom will definitely be defeated. In order not to lose too much, if everyone has no good solution, we will ask for peace."
"How can you do this? Didn't we agree at the time? Ask for peace? Are you sure you can afford it?"
The speaker was sent by the Holy Dragon Empire. From the beginning, this person has always been arrogant.
The commander said expressionlessly: "We have to bear it even if we can't afford it. At most, we will be hit by you, but at least we still have a way to survive. If we continue to fight, at this rate, the Kingdom of Maro can be declared extinct this winter."
Without waiting for the other party to speak, the commander continued: "Are you trying to say that after the country is destroyed, we can rely on you to restore the Holy Dragon Empire. But now with your help, we can't even protect the country. You don't believe this yourself. As for political asylum, I'm sorry, our royal family has never thought about this."
When did the people here dare to talk to him like this. The representative of the Holy Dragon Empire looked very ugly. If he didn't do something this time, he would suffer such a great loss, and he, as a representative, would not have a good ending.
Their original purpose was to put pressure on the Holy Tree Territory, and then obtain their commercial routes, and even some of the specialties of the Holy Tree Territory. As they got to know the Holy Tree Territory better, the more greedy they became.
At this time, the old wizard spoke: "The time is almost right. In fact, we have been testing all this time."
"Testing? What are you testing? Using our soldiers to test the sharpness of the opponent's weapons?"
The old wizard said calmly: "Of course not, we used a variety of different weapons for testing. There are flying boats, ordinary soldiers, wizards, puppets, elemental creatures, and even undead and evil things."
"What do you want to say? You did use various methods during this period, but the strength and scale were not enough. On the battlefield, you basically did not play any role. On the contrary, in order to protect you, our soldiers suffered heavy losses. The Mage Association removed itself, but the pressure was all borne by us."
It can be seen that the commander was really angry. It was almost to the point of national destruction. Now the commander was not afraid of anything. Even if he offended someone, what could he do? Could the situation be worse?
The old wizard took a sip of tea: "The things of the Holy Tree Territory are really good, but they also have weaknesses."
"Weaknesses, what are they?" Now the representative of the Holy Dragon Empire became anxious. If that damned Maro Kingdom surrenders regardless of everything, what can we do with the Holy Dragon Empire being so far away? Can we attack them in return?
"Hehe, we have discovered before that their plant weapons can lock onto targets and attack by themselves, but plants don't have eyes and ears, so how do they lock onto their targets?"
"After our experiments, we can finally determine that there are only two reasons why these plants can lock onto targets, one is heat and the other is energy. Through heat, plants can lock onto most organisms, and through energy concentration, these plant weapons can lock onto weapons that are not organisms. They look no different from ordinary organisms, but..."
"What do you want to say? Do you know the weaknesses of those plant weapons?"
Who knew that the old wizard actually nodded: "Yes, after our tests, it was finally determined that the real weakness of these plants is the puppet." This answer made the commander and other nobles look at each other in surprise.
"Are you talking about the kind of puppets used by puppeteers? But puppeteers are from the Kingdom of Rusyala..."
At this point, the commander widened his eyes, as if he had thought of something, and his face was full of shock.
"Yes, it is the unique type of wizard in Rusyala. Because of the development of the Holy Tree Territory, the puppeteers who have lost their status have joined our Wizard Association. We discovered it some time ago, but we have not taken action because we have been preparing. According to their traditional usage methods, it is not suitable for such a large-scale battlefield."
