Arad's Sword

Chapter 203 Investigation and Preparation

The undead army looks extremely powerful, the regeneration ability of the undead giant is incredible, and the undead humanoid master can still manipulate the stone seat under his feet after death, which makes up for the slow speed of the undead. The combination of the two complements each other. It can be said that it is true. Able to build an army that looks extremely powerful.

But it also looks that way.

Undead have a fixed and irreparable weakness, Light and Fire.

In the Battle of the Gilded Valley, because the dragon army was carrying magnetic arrows and the attacking troops mobilized were all elven roaming archers, they looked powerless in front of the undead giants.

But then, after confirming the army composition of the Delos Empire, how could Midi continue to equip the dragon people with these inappropriate equipment?No, Midi will adjust not only the equipment, but even the composition of the troops.

This is something that every qualified battlefield commander will inevitably do.

After replacing all the dragon people's equipment with blessed silver weapons, carrying holy water to disperse the undead, and mobilizing a group of paladins and blue boxing envoys, no matter whether it is an undead humanoid master or an undead giant, As long as it is an undead, Midi can easily flatten it.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the Imperial Alchemist Guild has created undead puppets that are not afraid of flames and holy light, and have no weaknesses.

Unfortunately, in the 20 years from the burning of Gran's Forest to Midi's death in the previous life, this dream of the Necromancer never came true.

In this life, even if there is a butterfly effect, Midi doesn't think that Wiseman can do it.

Otherwise, there is no need to fight back and forth on the West Coast.If the empire has undead souls with no weaknesses in their hands, they can find a few ancient battlefields and ruins at random, suffocate millions of undead souls, and then use the sea of ​​undead to directly push the entire Arad continent. Even the Falcon Group will definitely resist no.

Obviously, the current empire's undead army is still very fragile, as long as it is targeted, it will soon be wiped out.

The famous "Nightmare Hand" Wiseman Newton, a necromancer who knows the undead very well, how could he bet the future of the empire on these undead and adopt such flawed tactics?

Midi didn't believe it, so he had to check it out himself and confirm it with his own eyes.

Soon, an elite dragonman team led by Midi and guided by Xie Na appeared at a tribal gathering place of humanoid masters.

This gathering place was attacked by the Delos Empire half a day ago. It was not Wiseman himself who led the team, but he was also a capped necromancer with a level of 50.

This necromancer did not adopt any advanced tactics, but directly let the undead under him launch a strong attack from the front.

In the face of the undead with strong regenerative ability, the methods of humanoid masters have almost no effect. Whether it is throwing spears, or their best poisonous darts, they lack the impact on dead monsters.

While the human-shaped master was struggling to support, the necromancer used the skill of the night walk of the ghosts, allowing the scarabs to penetrate into the human-shaped master's flesh and blood one by one, devouring his soul directly.

So, in the middle of the battle, the enemy who beat you to death became the closest comrade in arms in an instant.The newly transformed undead humanoid masters, along with their leader who lost his life and self-consciousness, became a member of the necromancer's army, and then staggered to embark on a new journey.

A very simple and clear battle.

But Midi saw an extremely obvious strangeness from it.

"Snatch everything and then destroy the traces, this is not the style of an army of undead, it is simply the style of robbers." Walking among the messy ruins, Midi said coldly.

"Maybe it's because of the weapons?" Xie Na pondered for a moment, and speculated, "Many skills of the humanoid masters rely on their weapons to perform, so those imperial people will take things away together?"

After getting along with each other for a few months, I went to the continent of Arad again. Now, this smart female dragon warrior no longer calls humans "humans". She not only calls these acquaintances by their names, but also He also learned a lot about the distribution of different forces on the mainland.

And the term "Delos Empire" is undoubtedly the one Xie Na remembers the most, because it is the biggest and strongest enemy she and Midi have to face.

Midi listened to Xie Na's analysis, but just shook her head: "Even if you want to take away the weapons, there's no need to make such a mess, and there's no need to wipe out all traces of looting with a torch before leaving. Doubt, Wiseman is probably looking for something."

Midi was looking for Kong Mingshi, and in order to cover up this purpose, he attacked all the mine veins and carried out rough large-scale mining. Even if the manpower was extremely short, he still had to go hard, in order to release a large smoke bomb, Avoid your own strategic thinking from being guessed.

But now, seeing this messy camp, Midi knew that Wiseman was doing the same thing.

On the surface, he pushed the tribes one by one like a snowball in order to pull up a huge army of undead, but in fact, he was looking for or collecting something.

In order to avoid being discovered by careful people, every time he passed by, he let these undead who had no desires and desires loot everything, and finally lit a fierce fire to destroy all the gathering points of elemental giants and humanoid masters. Burning a mess makes it more difficult to reason in a cocoon.

These cover-ups alone were enough for Midi to confirm her speculation.

But, the most crucial point, Midi still can't find the answer.

What is that "Nightmare Hand" Wiseman Newton collecting?
While thinking, the magic communication bracelet on Midi's wrist vibrated slightly, and when it was activated, there was only a short line of text on it: "The mission on the island is completed."

"Retreat." Seeing this line of text, Midi decisively issued an order, "Xie Na, you will continue to stare at these necromancers, I have to go back once."

Understanding the enemy's strategy is indeed the most orthodox tactical thinking.

But compared to this, there is one more important thing, and that is to enhance one's own strength.

The task on the island is completed, which means that the research and development of the two-seater airship on Deep Rock Island has ended. Midi, who has great expectations for this kind of flying vehicle, naturally wants to go back and have a look at the first time. Whether the airship that showed its might in the first life can become its biggest trump card in this life.

After handing over all the affairs at hand, Midi passed through the crack immediately and returned to Deep Rock Island.

Today, the battle between the Falcon Group and the Empire has become increasingly fierce. In the sea of ​​trees, the three towers are fine. The two sides are testing each other and occasionally confront each other. However, on the west coast, fierce naval battles break out almost every day.

As the location of one of the most stable rifts, Deep Rock Island, the main base of the Falcon Regiment, has already changed its appearance.

Relying on the power of magic and the work of the technical department, several deep-water docks were established in a short period of time, there was also a large dock for repairs, and several production lines were working at full capacity, desperately producing ironclad warships.

Looking from the commanding heights of the island, you can see the endless sea surface, full of armored fleets of the Falcon Regiment, they are like a group of sharks, patrolling the sea, once they find the invading enemy, they will swarm up, use The powerful artillery fire and violent collision completely turned the enemy into residue.

And more often, these fleets are under the orders of Wells and Kelvin to take the initiative to hunt the enemy.

At the same time, under the auspices of Norton, the alchemy factory has also become a truly huge alchemy base, complete with laboratories, testing grounds, workshops and parts assembly lines.

In addition, in order to conduct airship experiments, a wind tunnel was specially built here.

A wind tunnel is a giant pipeline building that can artificially generate and control airflow to simulate flight conditions. It is the most commonly used and most effective tool for aerodynamic tests.

And when Midi came here, he suddenly saw a small airship parked at the entrance of the wind tunnel.

This airship is six meters long, and the overall shape is streamlined. The surface made of Mithril light alloy is silvery white, like a dolphin about to leap.There are no wings, only a pair of extremely short front fins, under which are hidden rollers for landing, and two cannon muzzles protruding from the front, which look like shark fangs.

The airship stopped there quietly like this, already giving people a strong sense of speed, like a flying knife, as long as it is lightly flicked, it will break through the void like lightning.

"How, is this little guy not bad?" Norton's voice broke the silence of the air.Seeing Midi staring straight at the airship, the master alchemist knew that he had already impressed this extremely demanding genius commander.

"Very good." Midi honestly expressed her feelings.

"We made the sky ring filled with air-light liquid into the shape of a long tube, and placed it in the tail fin to generate maximum thrust. There are six rapid-fire cannons hidden on both sides of the front fin as basic weapons, and inside the abdomen. There is enough space to hang torpedoes or bombs for mass destruction. In addition, we have installed a detection array on the head of the airship, which can lock the enemy at high speed."

Norton has been holding back for a long time. Now that Midi, the most important audience, has arrived, he naturally grasped it and started to introduce it with foam.

Immediately afterwards, Wells also stepped in and said proudly: "The shape of this work of art was designed by me, and it fully meets the highest requirements of wind tunnel experiments, and it also has a strong sense of beauty, Mr. Midi, what do you think?"

"Very good." Midi expressed his feelings honestly again, and then asked a question, "But why does it only have one seat?"

Midi is very sure that what he first proposed was the concept of "two-seater airship".

A pilot, an attacker, the two work together to carry out aerial combat.Two people, this is the smallest concept of air combat in the previous life.

Norton chuckled, looked at Wells in a tacit understanding, and then replied in a decisive tone: "Of course it is because this airship, oh no, the pioneer boat, only needs one person! "
