I have a map editor

Even if you encounter stubborn diehards, no matter how hard-headed they are, they cannot withstand the baptism of 40mm bullets.

The castles and fortresses they built with hundreds of years of hard work might even have some weak magical protection, but they were no different from cardboard boxes in front of a 40mm projectile - this was a rather wasteful approach, the best move was to first use one or several bazookas to blow down a wall, followed by one or two rounds of mortars to destroy the entire wall.

The exploding orange-red fireballs and the pungent smell of gunpowder in the air will effectively convince these former citizens of the United UK Kingdom, who have been isolated for hundreds of years and may have some mixed blood, to return to the embrace of civilization.

What followed was a reorganization of the disrupted organization. Under the order of the well-intentioned Stuart King, Jacques Stuart, the remaining Royal Guards fully cooperated with the occupation operation of the Crown Eagle Mountain Fleet. Not only did they act as guides with the slogan "Sir, this way please", they also took the initiative to persuade the garrisons of various strongholds to surrender to the Crown Eagle Mountain Navy.

After basically suppressing the Stuart Lordship, the fleet used radio communication to divide its forces, taking the guides and airspace maps of the Royal Guards, leaving 6 floating warships including the flagship to stabilize the situation in the Stuart Lordship, and the other 7 continued to capture the various branch bases scattered in the space of the Misty Realm in different directions.

The magic supply has been supplemented by replacing some of the "photovoltaic panels·magic modified version" and equipped with a high-power electric motor as a propulsion power.

The battleship's endurance and speed are much better than in the past.

Moreover, on the Guanyingshan Fleet's side, almost every member understood the operational intent of this blitzkrieg. It didn't matter if they didn't understand, because there were professional combat personnel to explain to them what the purpose of the war was, to what extent the war should be fought, and how the outcome of the war was related to themselves. They all knew it clearly.

So in the next half month, these seven warships followed the Stuart family's airspace map and occupied or destroyed all the branch bases and settlements marked on the map that the Stuart family had developed over the past few hundred years.

Everything is easy for those who are willing to surrender. We just need to release a few members of the Royal Guard, control the local situation, supervise them to destroy all small and medium-sized transport airships, and then rush to the next stronghold without stopping.

Those who are unwilling to surrender are usually in the space of the floating landmass at this time. Several rounds of artillery fire from a distance will also destroy their airships and dock facilities, making them unable to connect and communicate with each other in the short term, thus achieving the established strategic requirements.

Within half a month, the Crown Eagle Mountain Fleet spread its flags and flames to all large strongholds in the entire Asian airspace.

After all, this is a magical world, inhabited by many humanoid or subhuman races, many of which often have inexplicably practical innate abilities. Although the Stuart family is a purebred Ansa, they have also absorbed a number of domesticated humanoid or subhuman races into their forces, so it cannot be simply called a human stronghold.

It’s just that this domestication process is somewhat… uh, somewhat similar to that of Latinos, which are strung together, such as the half-human, half-dwarf hybrids, the dwarves in the Realm of Mist, you can refer to those in Yamaguchi Mountain, but the female dwarves also have big beards, and except for the dual-purpose pectoralis major muscles, it is basically impossible to tell the difference between them and male dwarves.

But some races with reproductive isolation are in a more tragic situation of slavery.

The combat capabilities of most magical races are not outrageous. Ordinary soldiers in the conventional world can crush them by carefully undergoing several years of cold weapon training, some formation training, and a set of steel armor and weapons, and following the pirate warships on a few missions similar to "grass-grassing valleys".

Of course, history is a cycle. Over the past few hundred years, they have used iron and fire to drive out and massacre the indigenous inhabitants of this airspace. Now they are also being crushed by Crown Eagle Mountain with modern thermal weapons.

It’s just that with Lucas as the moral bottom line of Crown Eagle Mountain, the armed forces of Crown Eagle Mountain will not become the world’s best beast army.

Small and medium-sized transport ships are not equipped with the "Mist Whale Brain Undead Artifact" and do not have the ability to sail long distances in the fog. They can only travel back and forth between strongholds relying on navigation technology and experience.

However, most of them, especially the medium-sized transport ships, have the ability to enter other airspaces of Fantos along the strongholds along the Aerial Sky.

Therefore, these ships must be completely destroyed to eliminate the possibility of information leakage from Guanyingshan.

As for the logistics between these sub-bases, it can be completely handed over to the Guanyingshan Navy. They also need to do daily patrols and vigilance. With their large-capacity floating battleships and the 4-grid [backpack] space that every ordinary sailor has, one trip is equivalent to the transportation volume of more than a dozen medium-sized transport ships for several months.

……

Time has entered November.

Anyway, there are no seasonal changes here in Crown Eagle Mountain, and there have been a lot of troubles since the pirate invasion, so there are no holidays for the community or schools.

We plan to hold it over until the Spring Festival, when we have a long holiday together, and then make adjustments. In the future, we can cancel some of the holidays, such as Thanksgiving.

However, Lucas attended the first entrance ceremony of the [Magic Skills Academy].

After 5 months of study, training and practice, it may be because of the powerful teaching materials provided by Lucas, or it may be that some changes have occurred to all the residents of Crown Eagle Mountain during the journey, but it is more likely to be the former. The first batch of students of the academy have all awakened their elements and become true extraordinary people.

It is not a parallel import product that only loads the [Basic Town Citizen Attribute Panel].

Taking the melee and physical damage system as an example, basic abilities such as [General Swordsmanship], [Basic Footwork], and [Basic Shooting (Firearms/Bow/Crossbow)] have basically been trained to the intermediate level or above. Most students have awakened strength talents, and a few have awakened agility talents - these talents do not conflict with the combat system of modern armies.

There were also some strange people wielding two-handed swords and charging into battle on the hot weapons battlefield of World War II. This Englishman even had an English longbow and a Scottish bagpipe, so he could play a song at any time during the battle to buff his companions.

In some situations where surprise attacks or infiltrations are required, bows and crossbows are more effective than firearms.

There are relatively few talented people in magic. Even with the buff of the [Magic Skills Academy], there are less than 20 students with talent in this area, and most of them only have one series of basic elemental magic talents, such as [Fire Magic], [Earth Magic], [Water Magic] and [Air Magic].

However, after Lucas conducted an in-depth analysis of this special building, the [Magic Skills Academy], he discovered that it only possessed the ability to bestow and perceive these four types of magic... It did not have any spell systems related to the faith system or Emily's very rare shadow talent.

Emily was trained by him, so she cannot be counted as one of the educational achievements of the [Magic Skills Academy].

And she walked

It is a route of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, and the starting point is much higher than others.

Other students with a single magical talent cannot play a big role in adventures or battles before they master the corresponding basic number of spell models, and basically have no ability to go out independently.

However, their future development ceiling is higher than that of students in close combat and physics departments... Extraordinary professions depend more on individual talents, or they can spend 2000 gold coins to ask Lucas to give them cheats, so their own subjective will is not that important.

In addition, no one knows that for 2000 gold coins, Lucas can help them unlock a cheat, directly granting a basic magic that covers the original talent, forcing people who originally have no magical talent to have magical talent.

In short, the 20 or so students in the magic department still need at least a few years of study and training before they can become the powerful, skillful and charming magicians in fantasy novels.

Lucas had to give these students special training. Based on the [Town Citizens (12/12)], he developed a low-level advanced profession [Magic Apprentice (12/12)] for them to further clear the obstacles on their road to promotion.

On the contrary, after cultivating the elements, those melee and physical professions have all reached the threshold for promotion to extraordinary professions, such as the common professions such as [Warrior], [Swordsman], [Fighter], and [Knight]. However, they still need him to provide "professional" knowledge and guidance.

A more labor-saving approach would be to find a deity with the powers of a warrior, swordsman, fighter, or knight in the Realm of Mist. If there is one... you could affiliate him to the pantheon and use his existing division and promotion system.

It’s just that we are all from a mysterious country, and we know very well how to treat gods and we respect them, but... hehe.

Fortunately, the "mystical knowledge" in Lucas' mind includes the knowledge of promotion to classical supernatural professions. The so-called classical supernatural professions do not rely on gods or even elements, but simply rely on physical breakthroughs to advance to the supernatural realm.

Lucas pondered over it for a while, combined with the "mystical knowledge" in his mind, and used the "map editor" to create several core abilities with very distinctive professional characteristics, such as [Warrior's] [Heavy Armor Mastery] and [Two-handed Weapon Mastery], [Sword Weapon Mastery] and [Lightning Reflexes (Enhanced Dodge and Critical Hit)] of [Swordsman], [Dual-wielding Heavy Weapons], [Furious Speed ​​(Increased Attack Speed)] of [Fighter], [Heavy Armor Mastery] and [Shield Mastery] of [Knight] and so on.

Upload the core abilities of these professions to the skill pool of the [Magic Skills Academy]. As long as the corresponding conditions are met, you can awaken the corresponding profession and comprehend these skills under the witness of all the teachers and students in the school.

As for the extraordinary promotion ceremony... haha, there are no cutscenes for these ordinary free users.

(Note: [Magic Skills Academy] is still a public welfare project with free tuition)

0077

After basically occupying the Stuart family's sub-space area, the Crown Eagle Mountain Fleet carried out effective migration work based on the map that their family had explored over hundreds of years, creating a strategic advantage for the upcoming war.

For short-distance transportation, the Stuart family's Galen-class floating battleship has greatly enhanced its carrying capacity because it has emptied its old artillery and improved its magic supply device and power system. It retains the necessary armament and security and can transport thousands of people at a time.

They cleared out the strongholds and bases along the invasion route of the Fantos airspace, which were large and small floating land masses. They transported all the livestock, luggage, and even the straw that the farmers were reluctant to discard to the floating land masses in the strategic rear for resettlement.

The overall strategic plan was drafted by Lucas long before the Guanyingshan Navy was reorganized and trained in floating warships. It was jointly formulated by many Guanyingshan management after discussing the details. The latter basically recognized the former's overall strategic thinking, but in the process of finalizing the details, it still exposed the problem of a poor overall view.

For example, during the discussion of Lucas' plan to clear the land, some even proposed destroying the wild resources in the floating land spaces that were voluntarily abandoned, burning forests and grasslands, sprinkling salt and lime on the land, and throwing corpses into water sources.

But Lucas rejected their plan because it was unnecessary.

From the battle with the Stuart pirates, it can be seen that Crown Eagle Mountain, which comes from a modern social background, has a huge advantage in war equipment and tactics, so the whole battle is most likely an operation similar to "fishing enforcement".

Attract the Vantos pirates into an airspace that is unfavorable to them and annihilate them.

Anyway, for Crown Eagle Mountain, Stuart Territory does not belong to them for the time being. The battle that breaks out here will not affect Crown Eagle Mountain. Even if the local natives suffer any damage, they will not feel sorry. This is what everyone means, including Lucas.

They are also in the process of preparation, trying to avoid any accidents that might happen to the indigenous people, such as relocating them.

And if the war goes according to Lucas's prediction, it should go smoothly. As long as the main force of the pirate forces is eliminated, it will be easy to take back the abandoned floating land spaces afterwards. Therefore, the ownership of those floating land blocks is only temporarily given up. These are still the wealth of Crown Eagle Mountain, and there is no need to cause such great damage in those places.

After the plan is formulated,

Lucas did not follow up on the issue of execution. The commander of the Crown Eagle Mountain Fleet was a man named Russell from a lower-middle class community. He used to be the CEO of a large company. He was very good at administrative management and performed very well in street-based activities. He was promoted to the position after a period of "natural selection" and was considered a direct descendant of Merry.

He was only responsible for administrative affairs, and the other main thing he did was discipline. Specific military operations were carried out by the Underwood family's security chief, a former professional soldier with high professional qualities. Before serving as the Underwood family's personal security consultant, he had already been promoted to colonel, only one level away from general.

Although he didn't know why he chose to become the head of security for the Underwood family, just knowing that he could handle a war of this level and intensity was enough for Lucas.

They have modern weapons and equipment, modern communication equipment, floating warships that can maneuver quickly in the fog, and professional soldiers from the Flower Kingdom who are volunteers from the Flower Kingdom plane world. Although they were unable to develop night vision equipment this time due to the overall technological trends, they also attached great importance to tactics and mobile warfare.

Lucas couldn't think of any reason why his side would lose, unless there were hundreds of thousands of Li Yannian, both civil and military experts, among the pirates on the opposite side.

But if it was an army like that, how could they become pirates?

……

As more and more intelligence and information are collected.

Lucas gradually understood the worldview of the "Misty Realm Space". He didn't understand it completely, but he understood it generally.

If we use the earth and the moon as an analogy to the universe, and regard the solar system as a foggy space, then the universe of this solar system is not a vacuum, but is filled with gas and fog. Also, like Saturn's rings, there are more small celestial bodies.

However, he still didn't understand what gravity was in the fog... or in this world. He didn't know what the consequences would be if he flew the hovercraft downwards or upwards all the time.

But the endings of these two things did not seem to be very good. Anyway, judging from the translated documents from the Stuart family collection that were transported to him, no adventurer, whether from the Fantos airspace or from the Stuart family, whoever did this had ever returned.

No one knows where they went, or what happened to them. No one knows what happened to the people on board, including the crew. There is nothing about the wreckage of the ship or the bodies of the people.

Lucas was not that curious, and when he saw such records, he had no intention of finding out for himself.

Neither did Emily, Laurel, and Zoë, who had helped him translate documents and records.

After promoting Merry to the extraordinary profession of [Sheriff], Lucas used the [Task System] to tailor two exclusive tasks for her, one called [Punch in] and the other called [Patrol]. Every day she can obtain a fixed amount of "general experience points" and a small amount of training materials.

Then he continued to DIY and study the [Task System], collecting daily practical data from Merry. Now there were many more students from the [Magic Skills Academy] who could also provide him with practical data.

In the monetary system of gold, silver and copper coins, Lucas is already planning to withdraw from the higher-level cultivation resource value system in the future - although no one is arguing with him, but according to the entertainment memes on the Internet, he is like the First Emperor touching the electric switch, and he is the winner.

The talk of "in the fifth layer of the atmosphere" is already out of date.

There were a lot of Stuart family data and documents delivered to his villa, not only geographical... er, physics? Anyway, environmental data, but also many other things, such as essays, history, and royal records written by the Stuart family clerks, similar to the daily records of ancient kings.

There are also some... not some, but almost all of the extraordinary career paths, promotion and cultivation secrets that the Stuart family has collected, traded, or sorted out based on clues over the past few hundred years.

Because Lucas is the only one in the entire Crown Eagle Mountain who can understand these things. He is also the founder of the mysticism and supernatural system of Crown Eagle Mountain. If there is a title of "Father of Magic", he must be the one who deserves it.

As for the question of whether other people or families might have intercepted these documents if he was not there in person... After Lucas took a quick look at these things, he was not worried about this issue at all.

How should I put it? It's a bit like some wizard novels, where the value of something is exaggerated or some very powerful secret method is not even as good as the entry-level stuff for him. It's like he has already used advanced mathematics to study string theory, and suddenly some idiots claim to have mastered the truth using the addition and subtraction of 1+1=2.

Moreover, for many of these so-called secret methods, he didn't need to practice them or find others to experiment with them. Just by looking at them once, he knew that there were huge hidden dangers.

And this is indeed the case. This secret method often comes with the Stuart family's experimental records.

The dead... In the process of extraordinary promotion, apart from success, death is actually the easiest. Other things like going crazy, or undergoing mutations, having extra organs or limbs, or becoming a monster are greater torture and misfortune.

In short, the extraordinary knowledge system contained in these documents is of very low value. Emily, Laurel and Zhuo Yisi translated several tons of data, but only a handful of individual records are worth learning from.

If there is any positive meaning, it is that it gave Lucas a basic understanding of the magical plants and potions commonly used here.

In his opinion, most of the rest can be classified as acts against humanity.

……

The nearest safe base to Crown Eagle Mountain, that is, the floating continental space, is about 13,000 kilometers away.

This is why even after the Crown Eagle Mountain Fleet improved its speed, it still took more than two months to reach the Stuart Lordship.

Probably because of the gravitational and repulsive forces between celestial bodies, not counting the tiny ones, a floating landmass like Guanying Mountain, which is 30 kilometers in size, is more than kilometers away from other floating landmasses of the same size.

Lucas also didn't know if a zipper mechanism similar to tug-of-war could be built between the two floating land masses to pull the two land masses together, or if a planetary engine similar to the one in "The Wandering Earth" was installed on the butt of Guanying Mountain to move the entire land mass like a ship.

It is possible with a high probability, but I don’t know what consequences it will cause.

The so-called safe base, or safe range, refers to the frequency of occurrence of space turbulence phenomena.

Within 13,000 kilometers, there is a high incidence area of ​​space-time rifts. Within this range, space-time rifts occur frequently. No matter when or what something is, it is possible to be swept away by the sudden appearance of space-time rifts.

Thirteen thousand kilometers away is a relatively safe area. It is not to say that time-space rifts will never occur, but they will basically not occur. Even if they do occur, the intensity will be very mild, and there will not be a disaster that will involve an area of ​​hundreds of kilometers at once.

In the more than one year since entering the misty realm, the floating land masses from the Flower Kingdom plane world that can be contacted by radio have become fewer and fewer. In addition to the common involution phenomenon of the humans above, there is also the possibility that they have been sucked into a new space-time rift and are completely missing.

The reason why Jax dared to lead the fleet into this area is that the outbreak of space-time rift phenomena usually has precursors, and the undead artifact of the "Mist Whale Brain" can observe these signs. Floating battleships with strong maneuverability can easily avoid such disasters, and will not be like floating land masses that cannot be avoided, and can only passively accept the occurrence of such disasters.

The discovery of the Crown Eagle Mountain floating landmass was an accidental event with a very small probability. He happened to pass by nearby, and the "Mist Whale Brain" undead artifact happened to detect the unique fluctuations in the floating landmass space. And to be honest, a floating landmass with a range of only 30 kilometers is simply an inconspicuous island among the floating land masses collected and occupied by Stuart.

Being able to enter this was also an unintentional decision made by Jax at the time.

At that time, the undead magic weapon in the Mist Whale's brain did not detect the existence of the community, but only discovered a small number of deer.

Who would have thought it would be such a coincidence?

After collecting environmental information about the nearby airspace, Lucas discovered that Crown Eagle Mountain was not a suitable area for living. Fortunately, although the national magic circle he laid on it was just in its infancy, it already had some basic protective capabilities, which could block the space-time rift phenomenon within a certain range, and it would neither descend on the surface of the floating landmass nor be involved in large-scale space-time rift disasters.

Its own security and stability are guaranteed.

In addition, knowing that the magic and supernatural systems in Yakong and even the entire Fantosi airspace are extremely poor, those students who have just become professionals in the [Magic Skills Academy] are considered high-end supernaturals if placed outside.

He temporarily put aside the DIY of the [Task System] and the climbing skill tree of the [Magic Skills Academy], and instead focused on assisting the Crown Eagle Mountain forces in the occupation and transformation of Stuart Territory.

There's not much he can do, but they are all extremely crucial things.

For example, building "magic teleportation arrays" at key locations, building "dark night extraordinary buildings" in the main territory of Stuart, and spreading [ancient guardians] and [tree spirits] throughout the wild mountainous areas like Crown Eagle Mountain.

With the establishment of Dark Night Camp nodes one by one, the prototype of a larger magic network was gradually established in the entire sub-space area, excluding the Crown Eagle Mountain community. Here, Lucas' personal large-scale early warning, communication and remote monitoring capabilities were simply established quickly.

Because of the construction characteristics of the [Elf], Lucas uploaded the architectural model of the "Magic Teleportation Array" to the [Tree of Life], and then added the corresponding magic materials. This kind of high-end and upscale magic building in the local area became a standardized building. As long as there are enough materials in the "Dark Night Plane Warehouse", the [Elf] can build a "Magic Teleportation Array" in 3 days, and at the same time as the construction is completed, its management rights can also be attributed to the [Tree of Life].
