The assistant director was naturally busy with official duties, so he took his leave right after leaving Hessensel Manor. He obviously did not want to participate in such a battle scene involving extraordinary beings. It was not that he was timid, but that he was faced with extraordinary melees and steam muskets.
Bullets, they don't care who you are, after all, bullets don't have eyes, and high-ranking officials and emperors can die from a small bullet.
Under the introduction of the demon hunter, John got acquainted with the extraordinary warriors who participated in the siege.
Including the manpower provided by John, there are a total of five extraordinary strong men in this encirclement and suppression operation. Of course, Detective James, who is a psychic medium, can only control half of the field due to the special nature of his profession. He can play as a support, but he can face them head-on.
A team of ordinary police officers can teach him how to behave.
"James' dispersion and purification abilities are very effective against the dark wizard's curses and spells, but don't count on him for melee combat,"
The witcher was sarcastic about his old enemy, but Detective James, who had a weak and bookish temperament, opened his mouth and had no words to refute.
I can only say:
"I hope our witcher detective can stop being like a curly-haired baboon and let the murderer run away..."
There is obviously a story in this statement.
Curly baboons are a species of primate unique to the Black Continent. Among them, male baboons are famous for their bad tempers and rude personalities and their tendency to go into heat at every turn. This metaphor is undoubtedly in line with the image of the demon hunter in the mind of the psychic.
Watching the two of them bickering, especially John Salvatore, who was so angry and speechless under the venomous tongue of the psychic, he looked a bit like an angry curly baboon.
The others burst out laughing when they saw it.
After laughing, John was a little curious about the profession of a psychic and briefly asked the female detective about it.
I found that the abilities of the psychic are a bit like the human priests in the stand-alone version of Warcraft in the previous life, and it is a weakened version without the healing ability. The attack power is weak and only the ability to target spirits and undead creatures is off the charts.
As a psychic medium, Detective James' abilities are mainly focused on attacking spiritual creatures. It can be effective against spellcasters like voodoo wizards, but it is not good against pure physical warriors.
, Soul Shock is one of the few abilities that can target living people. It sounds very powerful and can interrupt spells, but an ordinary person with a stronger willpower has a high chance of resisting it.
It's a pity that although the targets of this encirclement and suppression are weird and evil, they are all living people, not undead and undead creatures. Otherwise, maybe we can still see the majestic scene of this psychic detective killing everyone!
When a group of people rushed to the scene of the siege headquarters, they saw not only hundreds of police officers, but also a larger number of troops wearing gray military uniforms.
What shocked John was that the Jinsha Port City Government was so generous this time. It not only mobilized almost half of the Jinsha Port police force, but also used militia guards to conduct screening in the factory area and dock area.
He stepped forward to ask the police inspector with the rank of lieutenant in charge of the reception about the current situation. Theresia explained to John from behind:
"James's family has elders who serve in the state government, so it is more suitable to deal with the officials."
John nodded after listening. James' surname had been mentioned during the introduction before. He also had some impressions of that surname. It seemed that in addition to the senior officials of the state government's financial secretary, there was also a city councilor in Prince Edward Port in the north who came from this family. Although it was far away in the west,
Far inferior to those in the first echelon like Hai Senser, it can also be said that he has a distinguished family background.
Under the eyes of several people, the psychic detective James came back and couldn't help but sigh to everyone:
"It seems that the gentlemen in the city hall are determined to eliminate the Ripper as an unstable factor!"
After listening to James' words, several others nodded silently.
Even though they are extraordinary beings, they have no choice but to surrender obediently when faced with the encirclement and suppression by such a powerful secular army. After all, large-scale steam muskets and various heavy weapons are not the petty tricks of the police officers at the public security station.
Comparable.
Even the demon hunter, who was confident in his ability in hand-to-hand combat, couldn't help but sigh:
"Perhaps the Silver Powerful can find a way out in the face of the modern army's encirclement and suppression, but we basically only have a dead end. Among the extraordinary people, only a country-level powerhouse like the Gold Master can ignore the army of steam thermal weapons and truly be one person.
Enemy country!"
The person who understands this most deeply is John, the reincarnated time traveler.
According to his knowledge, the combat effectiveness of the 30,000 militia guards in the three western states may be worse than the German army of a powerful military country, but it is not at all inferior to the British and French armies in the previous life before World War I.
Even though the Militia Guard sounds like a no-name army with poor combat effectiveness, in fact, the army with this misleading name is much stronger than the regular army and navy of the White Eagle Federation in terms of combat effectiveness.
Without him, you have money!
When the coup failed, the aristocrats who were expelled from the rich southeastern lands of the Federation by annexing their industries were just trying to make a coup by talking about it, without any reliable force.
Therefore, after the three western states were re-established, each family had the money and strength to contribute. Otherwise, the fiscal revenue of the three state governments could only pay for the daily consumption of three militia guards and would not be able to form such an elite force.
You must know that the Militia Guard has big toys such as steam battleships under its name, and it is a new type of battleship ordered from the Brooke Empire, which is recognized as the most powerful country. From John's analysis of the data in the newspaper, this standard displacement is less than 5,000
Although the steam battleships above 1000 tons are a bit smaller, their combat effectiveness is close to the level of battleships of previous generations, and they are in the early stages of the transition from ironclads to dreadnoughts to steel armored battleships.
This is also the reason why the federal government in the east has never been confident of relying on force to regain power in the three western states.
It’s not that I don’t want to fight, it’s that I can’t fight!
You must know that the Federation Navy only has a dozen warships, and more than half of them are outdated wooden-hulled iron-clad ships that are half-steam and half-sail-powered. The rest are also old-model iron-clad steam warships customized from the old continent.
There is only one new independently developed steel-armored warship, but its armored defense, displacement and power are somewhat inferior to the three purchased by the West.
It's not that the federal government can't afford the money to sell warships. Even if the government can't afford it, those capitalists can still come up with the money to order warships.
But the various factions within the federation are wrangling fiercely, and no compromise has been reached. Many people believe that the west is also part of the federation and poses no threat to them. In addition, maintaining these dozen steam battleships has consumed a lot of financial revenue, and currently a fleet of this size is in the New World.
There are no rivals at all in the region. Even the Santis Empire, which has the strongest navy among the white powers in the Southern Continent, does not have a single steel-armored steam warship. It only maintains three armored steam ships, and the rest are half
A sail-sailed, semi-steam ironclad, wooden-hulled warship.
The federal navy can defeat them.
In addition, the population of the three western states is too small, and their strength is far from being enough to threaten the power of the eastern states. Moreover, it is still a federal territory in name, and has not specified independence from the federation. Therefore, the federal government, which has a fig leaf above, just sits back and watches the three western states.
Be semi-independent.
John didn't know whether this was the work of an alliance of Western aristocratic factions, but John, who had historical foresight, understood that this situation, which resembled the Civil War in Citigroup in his previous life, seemed to have no signs of war, but the political treachery was very strange.
Ordinary people can predict that the balance between the two sides will probably be broken by small triggers for no reason, resulting in a war between the eastern and western parts of the Federation.
Because what cannot be obtained through political struggle will eventually develop into being obtained on the battlefield.
