Blue Dragon Emperor: Lord of Thunder

Chapter 197 A New Way of Fighting
The countries that are separated from Duolan by the Kingdom of Fasciti only know that it is a kingdom established on the land of the Principality of Polon and the Principality of Heaton by a blue dragon that disturbs the wind and rain. Don't know too much.

How strong can a kingdom that is forcibly established by evil and greedy five-color dragons occupy the human kingdom?It is good not to collapse into a mess.

The nobles of various countries thought that there were only one or two real dragons under Long En's command, but they never expected that there were not one or two dragons, but a large group.

A group of dragons flew by just now, and it is roughly estimated that there are at least thirty real dragons!
This can be regarded as a destructive force for any of their countries, and this group of true dragons alone is enough to destroy their cities and countries.

At this moment, they finally realized why the kobold named Scar, the military commander of the Duolan Kingdom, chose this open woodland as the place for the meeting.

It has long thought of using this to show its own force, deter their self-righteous allies, and gain command of the coalition forces.

The dragons flew by, and the suffocating feeling finally receded. A group of noble officers who had lingering fears did not object to what Scar said, but they did not agree either.

They looked at each other and exchanged glances.

Letting a lowly kobold serve as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces of various countries is like a joke.

Even though this kobold looks different from other kobolds, the inexplicable desire and enthusiasm in the eyes make it look a little nervous and also have a sharp sense of oppression.

But these still can't change its essence as a kobold.

Except for slimes and goblins, kobolds can be regarded as the weakest and weakest monsters. If these nobles who are also viscounts obey such a low-level monster, where will they save their face? ?Do you want others to laugh at them as inferior to a kobold?
Moreover, who knows if this monster will use their army as consumables to test the enemy and consume the enemy's strength. After all, they are not even the same race, and their trust in the Duolan Kingdom is almost zero.

But they were also afraid of the terrifying power displayed by Duolan, a kingdom established by true dragons, and they didn't want to be the first bird to raise objections.

Scar didn't rush, and the short figure in the thick black iron armor with only his head exposed stood calmly on the tree stump, like an unbreakable rock in the waves.

"Faciti agrees to the appointment of Lord Scar, and will accept the command of Lord Scar in this war."

In the silence, the representative of the Fasciti Kingdom was the first to express his opinion, stood up, stroked his chest, and saluted the little Scar.

The attitude of the commander of the Faciti Kingdom Army made the nobles think about it.

The Kingdom of Fasciti is adjacent to the former Principality of Bolun, and now it is also bordering on the newly established Kingdom of Duolan. The understanding of the Kingdom of Duolan must be much deeper than theirs.

However, the Faciti Kingdom, which has always had a strong military force, voluntarily gave up the fight for dominance in this alliance, and also took the initiative to show goodwill to Scar, the representative of the Duolan Kingdom.

But it’s normal to think about it carefully. The Farciti Kingdom is in civil strife, and the rebels are suppressing more and more. This time, the alliance can only send one legion, which is still not full. It looks like it has just been withdrawn from the battlefield, which is enough to see How stretched the army of the Fasciti Kingdom is now.

In the unfortunate situation of being adjacent to the powerful Duolan Kingdom, the best choice for the Faciti Kingdom is naturally to take the initiative to show favor to the Duolan Kingdom.

Even the Kingdom of Fasciti agreed, and the rest of the dukes and kingdoms no longer objected, expressing that they could follow Scar's instructions.

They were all afraid of compromise because of the dragons of the Dolan Kingdom, but they didn't show much respect to Scar, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces. It would be an insult to the honor of the nobility to ask them to salute a kobold.

Scar doesn't care about this, as long as it can roughly control the coalition army under him to fight for him, that's enough.

Scar waved his hand, and the Dragon Vein Kobold with blue scales awakened the blood of the blue dragon immediately stepped forward, took out a contour map and spread it out on the open space, and the extraordinary power of the innate instinct rolled up a field of yellow sand out of thin air. Under the control of the dragon vein kobolds, the yellow sand quickly deformed according to the change of the contour line.

An experienced noble officer who was familiar with the Storm Mountain Range was suddenly shocked when he saw the changing shape of the yellow sand.

"This, this is the Storm Mountain Range?"

With his reminder, a group of noble officers also realized that the undulating sand dunes in front of them turned out to be a miniature version of the Storm Mountain Range!
What is more acute is that there seems to be a certain connection between the terrain changes and the dense curves on the map.

The Dragon Vein Kobold originates from the illusion ability of the blue dragon blood, and turns into simple light spots of various colors on the surface of the sand table.

No need to remind this time, the noble officers all saw that the light spots gathered together represented the coalition forces of various countries, the advancing hill giants, and the towns that were attacked and slaughtered by the hill giants.

With the terrain and troop layout so intuitively displayed in front of them, all the noble officers suddenly understood.

Just looking at these terrains, they can predict the direction the hill giant is going, and they can also choose a suitable place to hide soldiers in advance.

The aristocratic officer with a keen sense of smell immediately noticed the importance of the sand table, and his eyes towards Scar had changed a bit.

"Scar...Your Excellency, Commander, did you invent this map?"

Scar shook his head: "This is the method taught by my lord, he called it a sand table."

When Ron saw the map of this world, the whole dragon was shocked for several seconds and could not speak.

It's not how detailed and advanced the map is, but how terribly simple it is!

The entire map roughly draws the general direction of mountains and rivers and the locations of towns and villages. Apart from that, there is nothing on the map, not to mention slightly complicated things such as contour lines, even the direction. Not marked!
If this kind of map falls into the hands of a novice adventurer, he can't even find it anywhere. Those senior mercenaries and adventurers rely on past experience to judge their orientation, and the map can at most serve as an auxiliary reference.

Seeing the topographic survey map submitted by the military department, Ron was so uncomfortable that he didn't sleep all night. He hurriedly produced a new map surveying and mapping regulation that included contour lines, standard map scales and other elements and issued it to the military department, ordering them to take all All maps are redrawn according to this rule.

After barely meeting his request, Ron passed the method of building a sand table according to the map to the military department, which made Scar very excited. The new map and sand table sparked the spark of war in its brain, and it instantly understood these two things The importance of things to war.

"It's the King of Doran..."

The noble officers paid more respect to Ron, and they could understand the strategic value of this thing, but Ron directly showed it in front of their eyes, which was so generous that it was unbelievable.

But Ron never thought of hiding it. This new type of map can even be bought from various merchants in the Duolan Kingdom, and it is also popular with adventurers and mercenaries.

First of all, drawing a new type of topographic map requires a large number of extraordinary people to observe and determine the terrain for a long time, which requires a lot of resources, which cannot be afforded by ordinary people. Even if the royal family of the Kingdom Principality takes the lead, unless they have real A reconnaissance plane as convenient as that of the Dragon Families would not have been completed in a year or so.

Secondly, even if it is learned by the surrounding countries, no matter how detailed the map is drawn and the tactical arrangement is exquisite, it will be useless in the face of the dragon breath of the five-color dragon army to wash the ground. This is a rigid gap in absolute power.

The noble officers were also aware of these two points, and they no longer underestimated the Duolan Kingdom, which was able to complete the survey and mapping.

Although this is a newly established kingdom, its strength should not be underestimated.

Scar walked to the sand table and arranged offensive and defensive tasks for the members of the coalition forces. The light spots of various colors shifted according to Scar's instructions. The strategic layout was clear and easy to understand. worry.

And Scar's military ability also impressed them, and the battle plan was arranged in every possible way. Although they didn't want to admit it, they seemed to be really inferior to the kobold in front of them in terms of military vision.

"Okay, that's the preliminary arrangement. If you have any comments or suggestions, you can put them forward."

Scar's voice fell, and a noble officer raised his hand: "Your Excellency Commander, why is the Duolan Second Army deployed four kilometers away from the predetermined battlefield?"

The nobleman wasn't expressing his dissatisfaction. Scar had arranged Duolan's First and Third Legions to the most intense position in the battle. This attitude obviously couldn't be that the Second Legion was arranged in such a way for the sake of hiding their own interests and preserving their strength.

Facing the doubts of the nobles, Scar only explained one sentence: "You can understand the Second Legion as the caster army."

hiss--

Except for the representatives of the Kingdom of Fasciti who knew something about it, noble officers from all over the world gasped.

This son is so terrifying, he must not stay! (×)

The legions under the nobles of various countries present also have spellcasting troops, but a 3-strong legion can only be equipped with [-] to [-] middle and low-level spellcasters, and they usually have to eat and drink well. Treat these spellcasters as uncles Generally speaking, I dare not let it go easily. After all, once the caster's troops are attacked, the loss will be heavy.

Therefore, the spellcaster troops are just vases for most legions. They just look good when they are placed there. Dimensionality reduction strikes, all kinds of group buff spells alone can make a legion without a caster troop suffer a lot, not to mention all kinds of spells with weird and unstoppable effects.

But such a caster unit, the Duoran Kingdom directly came from the legion-level organization!

Is there any king law?Are there any laws?
Spellcaster Legion?See if you still speak the Common Tongue of Oonia!

"Maybe it's just a legion formed entirely by low-level spellcasters."

It is not uncommon for a mage corps composed of thousands of first-level mages to appear before. A large number of first-level mages have been trained for a long time to reach the level of being able to coordinate spells. powerful spells.

It's just that the training and maintenance costs of this kind of mage corps are very expensive, and it is not something that ordinary dukes can play.

If it is this kind of co-casting caster legion, noble officers from various countries can barely accept it, although tens of thousands of first-level mages are still quite outrageous.

……

"Come on, the target has entered the predetermined combat range, general, do you want to notify Duolan?"

The mages of the [-]th Legion of the Principality of Morwa, who were placed on the flanks, observed the giant exuding a strong breath of death entering the line of sight, and immediately obeyed the warning of the Duolan Kingdom and stopped using magic to spy.

According to reliable sources, among those evil giants, there are two giants above the legendary level, and even a second of prying might be detected by them.

The commander of the Fourth Morwa Army was a veteran who had led the army for many years, but at this moment he was still so nervous that his palms were sweating.

After all, their goal is a group of death giants whose strength is generally above the middle and high levels, and there are two legends!

Although the Duolan Kingdom promised that the legendary combat power would be dealt with by them, but at any rate he also participated in the siege of the legendary, such an experience is rare.

Of course, the experience of being an allied force with a large group of monsters and dragons is rare...

"Send someone to inform immediately, don't use spells, and let people ride the windy horse over."

One of the two legends of the giant is a legendary spellcaster, and the fluctuation of spells is easy to detect.

"Yes."

The mage's adjutant responded and immediately sent someone to inform.

... Corroded by the breath of death and the curse, the hill giant became a bit chaotic. Driven by the great shaman, a giant with a height of 16 meters approached the giant ferocious warg. The big shaman on the wolf said: "It's too quiet here."

The combined total of nearly 30 coalition troops is enough to scare away all the birds and beasts in the forest, no matter how scattered the ambush is.

Even if the coalition forces were not exposed in other ways, the leader of the hill giant still sensed the danger.

The big shaman, who was shrouded in a large animal skin robe, raised his eyes, glanced at the sky in the distance with indifferent eyes, and crushed a bone ornament on his body casually.

Looking at the cracks and fragments of the bone ornaments in his palm, the great shaman raised his finger in the direction of Duolan's second army, and said calmly: "There are enemies."

The leader of the hill giant nodded, and was about to order his tribe to speed up and tear the enemies to pieces.

Suddenly, a sound like thunder and the roar of the earth came from the direction of the big shaman's fingers, and the leader of the hill giant, who felt threatened, stared at the iron ball that was getting bigger and bigger in his eyes.

threaten?Just relying on such a small thing?

The leader of the hill giant didn't feel any spell fluctuations from those black balls, and those round black balls didn't have sharp spearheads, they looked no different from throwing stones at people.

But when it comes to throwing stones, the hill giants are experts.

The leader of the hill giant pulled out a huge stone with a diameter of one meter from the soil out of thin air, and threw it towards an iron ball that was shot.

"boom!"

The bursting flames and splashing gravel stunned the leader of the hill giant for a second, until the sound of explosions continued to be heard among the clansmen.

Among the coalition forces far away from the hill giant, the noble officers from various countries who were startled by the thunder finally came to their senses and realized that this was an attack launched by their ally, the Kingdom of Duolan.

"Tampus, what is that thing?"

An attack that can be launched four kilometers away without magic fluctuations?They couldn't believe their eyes.

The aristocratic officers of all countries shuddered at the thought that such weapons should one day fall on their heads.

When did war become like this?
