Chapter 882: The Hundred Regiments War in Another World
When Jiali first fought with the enemy, no one believed it because no one else saw it. But this time, a little fat man rushed in with his men, and everyone saw it.
With an unlucky guy, the people behind him naturally did not dare to go deep, so they all waited around and slowly tested. This test was not without cost, and various small frictions continued to occur on the front line.
Some flying boats often fell down, and some front-line artillery or ships were destroyed. But both sides seemed to be restrained, and no one took action on a large scale. The main force of the flying boat did not go out, and the two large islands only mobilized some airships, and did not let the airships fly directly over.
From a distance, you can see dense airships flying in the air in the distance, but none of them entered the defense line.
Both sides are watching and restraining each other here, but everyone knows that the war is not far away, and it is impossible to stay for too long. Although the current battle line is indeed very long.
But for the flying boat and the airship, this is nothing at all, because both sides are very fast. It only takes one or two minutes to fly from one side of the battlefield to the other side in a straight line, and this also includes the acceleration time at the beginning.
"What a large scale, I didn't expect that they mobilized so many flying boats, much more than I thought."
Relying on the satellite in the sky, Chi Nan looked at the picture and was surprised. Speaking of which, since the arrival of these flying boats, three of his satellites have been shot down by them with alchemical cannons. There is no satellite left near them. The Holy Dragon Empire really knows what these satellites are used for.
"How did the Holy Dragon Empire know the overseas location? They obviously haven't explored the ocean. This time, so many flying boats were mobilized at once, and the location must have been determined long ago."
Hearing what Hemi's words, Sophia said a little embarrassedly: "I think I know roughly. At the beginning, we did not refuse some merchants who followed from overseas to follow, and the management was not very strict."
"You mean, people from overseas brought the news? I don't know if it is the remnants of the Kalan family or the other two families." Weiweisi was a little annoyed. If she had known earlier, she shouldn't have been so gentle.
Chi Nan waved his hand: "None of your business, I didn't realize it. But it doesn't matter, although they have a lot of flying boats, their flying boats are not as good as ours, not to mention that there are many obsolete goods in them."
Chi Nan could see at a glance that these flying boats were not all the latest models. The latest models are indeed powerful, but flying boats need to be refined by alchemists bit by bit, which also requires a large number of craftsmen and raw materials, and the time consumed is much longer than making airships by yourself.
My own airships were born under the promotion of life magic, without my intervention, even the airship mothership only took half a month to grow and assemble. But these flying boats, it takes several years to make them.
Therefore, even if it is the Holy Dragon Empire, flying boats cannot be made as unlimited as ourselves. In the absence of war, they only made a part of them as a means of making money and deterrence.
Now that the war has broken out, their shortcomings have finally been revealed. "Haha, I think no matter whether we win or lose this war, we can seriously injure the Holy Dragon Empire. It will take a lot of time for them to build more flying boats, and we also need time. With enough time, we can develop faster."
This is true, and everyone expressed their understanding. "It seems that this war is still good for us."
"There are benefits, but there are also disadvantages. In the past, we have never come to the stage and have not been truly recognized by others. After this war is over, I am afraid that our Holy Tree Territory will really enter the sight of major empires."
Hemi La is a little worried. After all, there are too many people participating in the war this time, and even the Holy Dragon Empire itself can't control it. They can hide this battle, but after the war is over, they will definitely not be able to hide it.
At that time, everything overseas will be exposed, and it is unknown what other forces will do.
Although Chi Nan has a good relationship with the Half-Elf Empire, with huge interests, the nobles of the Half-Elf Empire will definitely intervene overseas. It depends on whether they can simply eliminate the enemy this time.
It is not to say that other empires and powerful forces that are farther away will definitely not intervene. These are all uncertain.
While Chi Nan was observing this, a command center was also established on a hidden island nearby. Such a large-scale war could not be handed over to those low-level nobles to command, let alone without a command.
At this time, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Coast of the Holy Dragon Empire, the Grand Duke of the East, Bruce, came secretly to the command center. Such a large-scale war has not appeared for many years. Even these old people have no memory of it. So this war was regarded by the nobles of the Holy Dragon Empire as a battle to show their strength and bravery.
This is also a war for some nobles to fight for military merit. Similarly, for those in the military, this is also the best excuse to strengthen the army.
Because of the peace relationship, their army has not received sufficient funds for development for a long time.
Look at the flying boats at this time, the untidy and unharmonious appearance, doesn't it show that there are problems with the construction of the army? This battle, the entire eastern army of the empire participated, as well as the troops of the nobles themselves.
"It's almost time, how many people have come?" Bruce looked at the crystal plate in front of him.
This is not a plant brain crystal plate, but an alchemical item, made in imitation of the concept of a plant brain crystal plate. It is expensive, the picture is very blurry, and it is still stuck, but this is their latest achievement.
If they want to research better, they can't do it in a short time, and they dare not use things like plant brains.
"Report to the commander, according to statistics, there are more than two hundred formations of flying boats that have just arrived here, but a large part of them are the local nobles' own teams, and the fighting power of the flying boats may be insufficient."
"Is that so, then let them try it out later. Although what Lusis said is a bit incredible, it can also show that the fighting power of those airships is indeed very good, and we can't be careless." When encountering a real war, no one dares to act rashly.
