"I know what the Grand Duke is worried about." In order to get the guardian battle flag for research, Sean patted his chest and promised, "Before researching, I will make a replica first, and I may even be able to make one better than this one.
The damaged product is even more powerful. Even if the guardian battle flag is destroyed during the research process, we still have other means to ensure that the combat effectiveness of the broken line of defense can only increase but not decrease. Black gunpowder is just a primary product."
Sean is not bragging about this at all. Let alone the artillery, it is a combat skill that transcends the times and is no less than a battle artifact.
Recently, he has been building a corps and legion combat skills. If successful, it will bring the saying that strength in numbers will be brought to a whole new realm.
It's just that this research has recently reached a bottleneck.
There is nothing wrong with the ultimate combat skill with champion knights and great knights as its core.
Absolute Barrier originally had this meaning, but now it is just further improved, dividing one combat skill among multiple people.
But corps and even legion combat skills are skills that require the mobilization of all forces.
In theory it is possible, but when it comes to actual operation, there is an unavoidable problem.
It takes time to gather magic energy, and there is a lack of an operating core. Even those champion knights cannot serve as this core.
Because they can manipulate magic energy entirely with the help of combat skills, they are not warlocks themselves and cannot control magic energy as they wish.
At this time, Sean's main focus was on the Kentana barbarians, and he did not take time to delve into this topic.
The first time he saw the Strachey family's protective battle flag, a flash of inspiration flashed in Sean's mind.
Isn't this an excellent choice?
A battle flag that every unit has.
Sean does not yet have the confidence and ability to build a battle artifact.
However, it should not be as difficult as imagined to create the regimental battle flag and legion battle flag used in conjunction with the Eternal Night Army's leading combat skills.
It would be even better if there was the guardian battle flag of the Strachey family as a reference.
"Leader Yong Ye indeed has something good in his hands."
This was the first thought that flashed through Archduke Cedric's mind.
Since Sean calls black powder a primary product, the new war weapons must be related to black powder.
Have they produced more powerful black powder?
Sean's last sentence weighed more than all the previous ones combined.
After all, the changes that black powder barrels have made to the pattern of war are obvious to all.
In terms of magical power, black powder is definitely not as good as the Guardian Flag.
But in terms of practicality, the Guardian Flag is far behind.
Because the energy contained in the guardian battle flag is limited, once the energy is exhausted, it will become an ordinary battle flag that can no longer be ordinary. They have no effective charging method and can only wait passively.
Not to mention the golden armor of the Kingsley family, which once showed great power in the Swamp of Despair. It is probably thrown into the treasure house to recharge. The next time it is used like the last time, it is estimated that it will have to wait a few years or even more than ten years.
after.
Black powder is different. This thing can be mass-produced. As long as you have sufficient financial resources, you can get as much as you want.
A single piece of black powder will greatly reduce the effectiveness of the guardian battle flag, let alone a higher-end product.
Archduke Cedric quickly made a decision and said: "Okay, the guardian battle flag can be left to you to repair, but not now. It will not be too late to wait until you get married to little Sophie."
Archduke Cedric couldn't give Sean 100% trust, but he trusted Sophia.
When the time comes, the guardianship of the battle flag will not be handed over to Sean, but to Sophia Liya.
You can't cheat your own granddaughter!
"Okay, let's settle this matter." Sean did not expose Archduke Cedric's little thoughts.
Trust is something that is built bit by bit.
If Archduke Cedric had given him 100% trust as soon as he got started, he wouldn't have hesitated to take out something as important as the guardian flag.
Instead, he became suspicious, wondering if there was a trap.
"What the count means is that he is going to use this energy clone's ability to hide its traces to steal combat intelligence for us?" Archduke Cedric turned the topic back to the original question.
"That's right." Sean nodded, "But this matter still requires the cooperation of the Grand Duke. Only if you take military action can the senior leaders of the Theodin Empire react and spy on them.
Under normal circumstances, I don’t have that much time to waste on them.”
"That's true." Archduke Cedric said with a smile, "It's better to come early than to be lucky. You have heard our military plan just now. What do you think this time?"
"It doesn't hurt to give it a try." Sean didn't have much objection to this.
This time he sent the Shadow Soul-Eating Leopard to Broken Mouth Blood Castle to help Archduke Cedric and the others just by the way.
Another purpose is to take the opportunity to evaluate the behavior of the Theodin Empire.
The leader of the Eternal Night Army wants to encroach on the Odin Prairie, and this local overlord cannot be circumvented.
The more we know about their senior leaders, the better it will be for their actions on the Odin Steppes.
To assess this, the quickest way is to observe their response mechanisms and corresponding words.
"In this case, our plan should be further adjusted and we should find a way to create a bigger situation for these guys and frustrate their fierce flames." Even with Sean, an unprecedented intelligence officer, Sei
Archduke Derek was not confident and defeated the Theodin Empire directly.
When their numbers reach a certain level, they will become an unsolvable existence. It is really difficult for external enemies to defeat them. The only ones who can defeat them are themselves.
"When you have made a plan, just inform me to implement it." Sean was not prepared to get too involved in the battle at the Broken Vein Defense Line.
In this kind of super-large battle involving millions of troops from both sides, even if he has many unconventional means, there is not much he can do.
If he didn't have a dual purpose, he wouldn't even send the Shadow Soul-Eating Leopard here.
Commander Yongye still has a lot of things waiting for him to take action personally.
Now that he has many clones, not only does he not feel relaxed, but he is even busier.
Because in the past, some things could be eliminated through decentralization.
Now that some core knowledge is in his hands, there is no way for others to replace it, especially the construction of energy reactors, which takes up a lot of his energy.
"Of course." Archduke Cedric himself did not count Sean among them. "Can you tell me how you actually surrendered the captured Kentana barbarians? Are these barbarians really so powerful?
"
Archduke Cedric is an out-and-out professional soldier, so he is naturally very interested in the Kentana barbarians, a legendary race of natural warriors.
"The Kentana barbarians are not as barbaric as the legends say. Especially the leader of the group can be called a wise man. They do not solve things purely with fists, especially when the entire race faces a life or death decision." Xiao
En answered vaguely, "With the threat of force and the temptation of interests, they will naturally surrender as a whole. Is it possible that they will still be trapped on the ice sheet?"
"Is it that simple?" Archduke Cedric was greatly disappointed. This was somewhat different from the Kentana barbarians he imagined.
"It's that simple." Sean nodded. Information about the reincarnation of the ancestral spirits and the combat skills of the ancestral spirits was naturally not suitable to be leaked.
"When I have the opportunity to see them in the future, I hope they won't be so disappointing in other aspects." Cedric said impartially.
"There is no way to sum up a race in one word, and the Kentana barbarians are no exception." Sean said with a smile, "Especially now that they have been fully integrated into the Evernight Army, and the generals that the Grand Duke will see in the future are
They will not be pure Kentana barbarians, but Kentana tribesmen led by the Yongye Army. The difference in what they see is probably even greater."
"Earl Sean is very confident in his military leaders, so confident that he will completely annex them?" Archduke Cedric couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Having confidence is a good thing, but having too much confidence is arrogance.
.”
"Let's speak with the facts." Sean was confident. As long as they got into the belly of the leader of the Yongye Army, would they still try to come up with new tricks?
The crocodile people are the best proof of this.
When the clans were first merged, many people were forced to do so with knives held at their necks.
They didn't have any opinions in their hearts, so they probably kept it to themselves, preparing to think of ways to plan for the future later.
As a result, now that I have been holding it in, my energy is getting weaker and weaker.
Not only was my mental strength relaxed, but also because there was no soil for making small moves.
That kind of racism or terrorism can be carried out.
Or they are taking advantage of the various dissatisfactions with life in reality.
Or they are using racial sentiments to instigate their hostility towards a certain force.
Or use brainwashing methods to brainwash them into people who have the same ideas as you.
These three points basically have no place in the Yongye Military Territory.
The first is this first point.
It's not that the living conditions of the Yongye Army Leader have reached a super high level.
This kind of thing needs to be compared.
Compared with the original type of Crocodile people, they often fight on large scales for a piece of fishing land. They are busy all day and night, but they don't have enough to eat or wear, and they have to endure some people lording it over their heads.
The life that the Yongye Military Leader can provide them now is not too comfortable. As long as they obey the military leader's policies and pay taxes normally, no one will dare to cause trouble for them.
Those ordinary crocodile tribesmen who don't have much ambition will miss their previous life unless they are mentally ill.
This second point is usually linked to the third point.
Unfortunately, in this area, the Yongye Army Leader has always been at the forefront of the entire world. They have a large number of relevant personnel and can instill some of the policies and concepts belonging to the Yongye Army Leader into you without anyone noticing.
In your mind, in your life.
When new living habits are developed, who will miss the old routine?
The Kentana Barbarians will not break out of this strange circle, especially when the name of the reincarnation of the ancestral spirit is in front of them. Sean has recently been planning the trial of the Kentana Barbarian King.
As long as he passes this trial, he will be able to combine divine power and royal power. As long as he does not engage in anger and resentment during his lifetime, the Kentana barbarians will have no possibility of betrayal and will be the sharpest knife in his hand.
"Okay, I'll wait and see. I want to see how far you can go in the future." Archduke Cedric didn't really want to question Sean, but changed the topic to another serious matter: "When are you going to go?"
Take action against the remaining forces of the Eastern Odin Empire?"
"We have already taken action." Sean replied, "When it was confirmed that the Theodin Empire's army was fully moving south, our two cavalry regiments had already marched day and night into the Barsin Prairie, but..."
At the end of the sentence, Sean couldn't help but sigh.
"Just what?" Archduke Cedric asked.
"It's just that they are on the way back now?" Sean told the truth.
"On the way back? Why? Is that tiger in Ulan Baz still there with a back-up? Or is it that the remaining power of the Eastern Odin Empire is too strong?" Archduke Cedric asked in surprise.
"If this is the case, there are still ways to think of, but the current situation in Barsin is beyond human power." Sean sighed again, "The Theodin Empire has done too much in Barsin.
Absolutely, everything that could be taken away was taken away, and what could not be taken away became a pile of corpses.
After the cavalry entered the prairie, the supply line was too long and they could not carry much military supplies. They had to rely on plundering the Odin orc tribe.
Now even if you run there for a day, you may not encounter a tribe. Even if you encounter it occasionally, most of them have lost most of their sheep and cattle in order to hide their tracks. They are all skinny and hungry.
There is absolutely nothing to grab.
If this is all, it is better to say that you can just send your own herdsmen to graze there. Although it is not as fast as plundering the Odin orcs to gain wealth, it is better than stability. I don't dare to do this now, because it is to risk death.
"
"Could it be that..." Archduke Cedric suddenly changed his expression, "The Theodin Empire didn't dispose of those corpses at all?"
Great wars and catastrophes are often followed by great epidemics.
It is because during this process, a large number of corpses were not properly disposed of, becoming a breeding ground for diseases, and then the insects and flies that breed subsequently are carried to the living.
This is common knowledge even in the Ashan continent, where the popularization of medical knowledge is relatively backward.
The ruling class of the Theodin Empire should not understand this truth.
Is it because they killed too many people and couldn't deal with them all?
"That's right." Sean confirmed the other party's guess, "The situation there is not just because there are too many corpses to deal with, but because the Theodin Empire knows that it cannot completely eat them in a short time.
Barsin Prairie did this intentionally. They probably didn't expect that we would take the opportunity to pick peaches, but wanted to use this method to prevent the East Odin Empire from coming back.
Without the Barsin Prairie, a fertile land for recuperation, the remnant forces of the Eastern Odin Empire will find it more difficult to reintegrate.
By the time the plague caused by the large number of corpses subsided, the West Odin Empire had already recovered its strength with the help of the war dividend from the invasion of the East Odin Empire. At that time, they only needed to send out a few tribes to completely devour this place.
, complete the unification of the entire Odin Steppe."
"It is indeed a vicious plan with no solution." Archduke Cedric took a breath of air and felt a chill in his teeth.
They have a mentality that if I can’t eat it, no one else can.
In this case, who dares to run there?
"I really didn't think that the tiger in Ulan Baz had such a skill before." Sean also looked like he had a headache.
After all, I didn't expect that the Theodin Empire would come up with a trick to drain the economy from the bottom of the pot.
"So, you have temporarily given up your plan for the direction of Odin Grassland?" Archduke Cedric asked.
If the Yongye Army Leader does not take the initiative to enter the game, has enough interests in the Odin Grassland, and has irreconcilable conflicts with the Theodin Empire, the alliance agreement between the Broken Vein Defense Line and the Yongye Army Leader will not be so solid.
The military leader can withdraw at any time.
"They have their plan to kill the family, and I have my ladder to climb over the wall." Sean sneered, "We are going to change our strategy from robbing property and grassland to robbing people."
"Robbing people?" Even though Archduke Cedric had been in battle for a long time, he was still confused at this moment.
"Our medical system has already begun to develop when the territory was first established. Over the years, it has made some achievements. When the plague on the Barsin grassland begins to rage, if we can come up with targeted treatments and special effects
Yao, you said those Odin orcs still don't care whether we are Byrons? Or Andis people?" Sean revealed the military plan of the leader of the Yongye Army without any care.
There is absolutely no need to keep this plan secret.
Because this is based on the unique technology mastered by Yongye Army Leader.
There is no way to copy or block it.
Can they still prevent a group of people suffering from the disease from seeking medical treatment here under the leadership of the Yongye Army?
