Blessing from the goddess at the beginning, technology VS magic

King Slith fiercely tore up the battle report in his hand and shouted:

"Who can tell me what is going on? Ah! What is going on! Why are our knights and magicians beaten like this by a group of mortals?!"

Everyone present fell silent and looked at Hardy in tacit understanding, because the entire battle was a battle plan based on Hardy's intelligence.

Hardy panicked at this time, why are you looking at me? The information I gave is not false.

"Duke Hardy!" Sleeth said.

"I'm here, Your Majesty."

"Why were our brave knights attacked halfway?"

Hardy explained: "Dear Your Majesty, I told you that they have a weapon called a cannon, which can attack from a long distance. The gunpowder explodes in a vat made of iron, and then pushes the iron pellet forward. , hitting the enemy at super high speed, that’s how they attack.”

"But I remember you said that the range of that thing is only one kilometer at most. But now, my army was attacked ten kilometers away from those mud-legged people, and it wasn't the iron ball you mentioned! It was an explosion! Explosions everywhere!”

Hardy: "I..."

Slith interrupted him: "Okay, don't talk anymore. The fifth prince of the Stephen Empire was also defeated at the hands of the Sunri Republic. I thought he was the same as you before, because he underestimated the enemy, and the locusts behind him The failure was caused by a sudden attack.

Now it seems that it may not be as simple as we thought. This group of mortals already has the power to rival magicians and knights. "

Of course Hardy was not idle either. He quickly flipped through the battle report, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

He vowed: "Your Majesty, I don't think so."

"Then tell me what you think."

"According to the survivors we have escaped, the proportion of those killed in battle among intermediate knights and above is still relatively small, about 50%."

Sleeth said a little uncomfortable: "Isn't 50% enough? How long does it take to cultivate an intermediate knight? This is not what those untouchables can compare with."

"My Majesty, I am talking about all the intermediate knights, but among them, only 30% of the intermediate knights wear Egwene grass armor, while only 10% of the high-level knights wear it. And I found it in their armor. this"

Hardy stepped forward and handed the object in his hand to Sleeth's eyes. It was a 7.62 mm bullet. Sleeth looked at it and asked:

"what is this?"

"Your Majesty, these are the metal projectiles fired by their muskets. The front end is sharp and has good penetration. However, this thing did not penetrate our Egwene grass armor, but only penetrated half of it.

Although I didn't find this thing on other armors, I did find a lot of dents, which shows that most metal projectiles can't penetrate our Egwene armor at all."

Of course, this is because these 7.62mm bullets are not full-power bullets. In order to increase production, the charge of these bullets is one-third less than the real full-power bullets. But even the full-power bullets are scratched in front of Egwene's armor with its own magic shield.

The reason why the armor was penetrated was probably because the wearer of the armor was badly injured on the road, and the magic power of the armor has not yet been restored.

Sleeth: "Well, Duke Hardy, what are you trying to tell me with this?"

"Your Majesty, what I want to say is that the Republic of Sunshine is no match for us. The knights wearing Egwene armor are completely able to block their musket attacks. As long as we wait for a while, we will use all the knights wearing Egwene armor. If the knight army attacks, they will be defeated.

In the future, the offensive troops will not need those untouchables. They will just die and let them transport materials in the rear..."

Sleeth interrupted Hardy again:

"But you seem to have forgotten one thing. Our magicians also suffered heavy casualties. You must know that in previous wars, magicians were a bigger factor in determining the victory of the war than knights. Only magicians can use long-distance attacks. Means to destroy the group of turtles hiding in the mud.

But I heard that our magician was destroyed after just one or two spells."

Hardy seemed to have a countermeasure:

"My Majesty, I have noticed the casualties of the magicians. They seemed to have been wiped out by the enemy when they gathered together to activate the group attack array."

"Yes, this is what an ordinary soldier around the magician group said. He was next to the magician group at the time. The magician group conducted a large-scale magic bombing at the enemy's location, but then they were attacked by the enemy. The magic shield of the group magic shield blocked them for a while, but it failed to save their lives."

"Your Majesty, according to the surviving knights, the magic of the magician group still caused a lot of trouble to the group of mud-legged people on the opposite side, and they don't seem to have a magic crystal shield for defense."

Hearing this, Sleeth seemed to understand what Hardy meant:

"You want to say..."

Hardy took over King Sleeth's words and said: "Yes, they lack defensive means. They have powerful attacks but no defense, so they hide in that dirty mud ditch.

The magicians gather together to release magic by activating the magic circle. This can effectively save magic power and greatly increase the power of magic. However, this method is to deal with other magician armies that also have defensive means, which can deal with the mud legs opposite us. You don’t need to do this at all”

"So to speak, you already have a way to deal with it, right? Duke Hardy"

"Yes, we can let the magicians disperse their actions. Each of their magic attacks will hit the enemy firmly and cause them big trouble. This can greatly distract their ability to attack from ultra-long range. The firepower of our weapons.

At the same time, we sent a knight troop, all wearing Egwene armor, to the front to flatten their mud trenches in one fell swoop! "

Sleeth laughed: "Okay! Okay! Okay!"

Hello three times in a row, it seemed that Slith was particularly happy.

"Wait another two days, wait for the army we sent out to deal with the cultists to come back, and then integrate our current army and uniformly wear Ivanli armor. I will hand over such a strong army to you, Duke Hardy, you are the only one and The nobles they have fought against are the ones most familiar with their fighting methods, are you confident?"

Hardy left his seat and stood up, then knelt down on one knee and swore to the king:

"With such an elite force, I will definitely trample those mud-legged people on the opposite side back into the ground!"

Sleeth then handed him the ornate sword, which symbolized the military power of the West Bay Federation.
