Obviously the ascetics all have a greater desire, which is immortality.
People are selfish, especially monks, and they will not give up their monastic career just for the sake of mere "patriotism."
Therefore, there are very few ascetics in the army, and even those who do are engaged in clerical and logistical matters and will not end up personally.
And obviously the dynasties and empires also understand and will not force it.
According to the military commanders, fighting is the business of their military commanders and soldiers, and the ascetics should go away.
No monks from both sides participated in the battlefield.
But things are different now. This rune cannon is equivalent to the magical power of a monk.
"Sir, I wonder if this rune cannon can only be activated by ascetics?"
Wang Jian couldn't help but ask, this question is very important.
Because if only monks can activate it, then the effect of this rune cannon will be greatly reduced.
After all, Wang Jian also knew that the cultivator activated the rune cannon to kill the rebels. Although he did not directly use magical powers, the power of the rune cannon still belonged to him.
Therefore, when the time comes, some of the killings and calamities must be on his head.
It may not be as good as him personally performing magical powers, but it will definitely have a certain impact on his future cultivation. It is very likely that during the Earth Immortal Thunder Tribulation, the power of the Thunder Tribulation will be much greater.
This influence alone will stop many ascetics.
"General Wang Jian, don't worry. The energy core in this rune cannon, even if you are not a cultivator, the true power of martial arts can replace the mana of a cultivator."
In fact, the energy cultivated in martial arts is the same kind of energy as mana. They are both refining the vitality of the world. It's just that the practitioners absorb the Qing Spirit, while martial arts can use any energy.
At this point, martial arts seems to be even more outstanding.
But precisely because of this, martial arts practitioners are often more likely to become obsessed. After all, those evil spirits of the earth can affect the mind. Over time, the mind will be unstable. Coupled with the influence of external demons, it is very likely that they will become obsessed and explode.
Dead body.
Because the absorbed energy is messy, if it cannot be fully absorbed and accommodated, you will suffer from indigestion.
Many martial arts practitioners, greedy for the speed of practice, often want to get closer, so the final consequences can be imagined.
But the cultivators are different. Qingling Qi is very gentle and can nourish the mind and body, so there is no danger.
In addition, martial arts is explosive, which often results in the loss of the physical body, resulting in a loss of lifespan, which is far inferior to the longevity of immortality.
Therefore, martial arts is a small path after all. Compared with the main road of immortality, those who naturally choose will be closer to the immortal way.
However, martial arts has true power, so it can naturally stimulate the energy source in breaking the runes and release 'cannon fire'.
"Haha! That's great"
When Wang Jian heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
If this is the case, then for the army of the Qin Empire, with this rune cannon, the strength of the army will be even more exaggerated.
The range of this rune cannon is far beyond that of a bow and arrow.
Generally, the shooting range of an army of bows and arrows is no more than two thousand meters at best. Beyond this range, the lethality becomes much weaker.
Of course there are sharpshooters in the army who can shoot over ten miles without any trouble, but such people are only a minority after all.
It is impossible for these people to form an ultra-long-distance marksman corps. After all, many marksmen are almost all officers in the army.
Therefore, the Archery Corps of the Great Qin Empire was only a powerful elite legion, and was not considered a legion of strategic significance.
Great Qin has strategic-level legions, such as a few special armies, and Wu'an Jun Baiqi's God-killing Army. Although it only has one hundred thousand, with the cooperation of Wu'an Jun Baiqi, even Da Luo Jinxian falls into the military formation.
The danger of physical death or death.
There are also King Qin's warriors, etc., and the less famous ones include the more famous Golden Fire Cavalry, which is the most powerful army of the Meng clan.
More than ten generations of the Meng clan, with their hard work, have trained such a top-notch cavalry for the Qin Dynasty, which is also a deterrent to the most powerful regiment in the North.
In comparison, although Da Qin's crossbows and arrows have always been very famous, they rely more on quantity.
Because of Qin's logistics, bows and arrows were powerful.
However, it is only powerful, but it cannot achieve strategic significance and cannot form a crushing form on the battlefield.
The newly built Qiang Gong has a chance to become a strategic force, but Wang Jian knows that it will take a while, a long time.
First of all, it takes time to make millions of strong bows. After all, the strong bow itself is easy, but the runes engraved in it require a lot of cultivators.
The art of runes is new knowledge. Da Qin has enough monks and craftsmen, and it takes time to learn and polish them before they can create new powerful rune bows.
Secondly, archers also need to adapt to training before they can take shape.
In comparison, Wang Jian and others paid more attention to this rune cannon. Not to mention that every cannon could reach the power of the God Refining Realm like the first one.
Even if it is one level weaker, when the number of cannons increases, it will definitely be a formidable threat.
Think about it, the divine power of tens of thousands of cannons is comparable to that of tens of thousands of golden elixir magic monks, using magical powers and magic, throwing them towards the battlefield. This power is probably enough to destroy a ten-person army with just one blow.
An army of ten thousand.
Such weapons can definitely form a strategic-level legion, and they are at the forefront among many legions.
As a veteran general, Wang Jian obviously thought about it immediately.
And once he can control or command such an army, the Wang family's status in the empire will probably be even higher in the future.
Although the Wang family today is good, and they have contributed to the destruction of the country, they are not as good as in history.
The Qin Dynasty destroyed the Six Kingdoms not because of Wang Jian alone. In fact, if many veteran generals in the army had not gradually gone into hiding, there would have been no possibility of his rise.
In the military of Great Qin, his Wang family was still a junior.
It's not even as good as the Meng clan. After all, the Meng clan has a much stronger foundation than the Wang clan. The generals of the past few generations of the Meng clan are all very capable.
His former boss, Meng Ao, was no less capable than him. Today, Meng Ao is still in the army and is also a general guarding one side. Meng Ao's previous generations, although their abilities were much weaker, were still among the generals of the Great Qin Empire.
bingo.
Coupled with the rise of Meng Ao, the Meng clan has been raised to a higher level in one fell swoop, almost becoming one of the top generals in the Qin Dynasty.
Moreover, since the Meng Ao era, elite talents have emerged from generation to generation, and talents from the younger generations have emerged in large numbers. ()
