Speaking of the great weapon of the Anjou Kingdom - the control of magicians, we have to mention the history of the transformation of magicians from weak to strong.

The history of magicians changing from weak to strong can be traced back to about five hundred years ago.

In fact, magicians at that time were not weak either. The magic skills of thousands of transformations (flowers) and thousands of transformations (whistle) gave magicians powerful one-on-one abilities.

Before the sky level, a magician could often defeat two warriors of the same level.

Of course, the warriors are not stupid either. After numerous encounters with friends (tragic) and good (suffering) (beatings), the warriors gradually transformed into another form - archers.

After learning to add fighting spirit to arrows, the warrior-turned-archer even has some capital to bully the magician.

The bows and arrows with added fighting spirit make it difficult for the magicians to defend, and it is difficult for the magicians' spells to hit the long-distance and flexible archers.

Therefore, in the field of duel, at that time, magicians, who were based on magic, and warriors and archers, who were based on fighting spirit, were evenly matched.

Before the sky level, the dueling capabilities of the three professions were probably magician > melee warrior = archer > magician.

And this situation continues to this day 500 years later.

...

In single combat, the "magic system" and the "fighting spirit system" are evenly matched, but on the battlefield, the status of magicians is much lower than that of warriors and archers.

Warriors can charge with the legion, and can be equipped with heavy spears, armor, and shields to increase the defense and impact of the entire phalanx;

The archer discharges arrows at the back, and through the bonus of fighting spirit, the range of the bow and arrow can be made longer and more powerful;

In comparison, the magician's position on the battlefield is somewhat useless.

Before the sky level, the magician's casting distance was often less than 200 meters, which was much shorter than that of the archer.

After the magician goes to the battlefield, he not only has to face the charge of the warrior phalanx, but also is attacked by archers from a distance.

However, archers are very restrained against magicians, so the magician's position on the battlefield has always been awkward.

So many magicians simply turned to auxiliary arms. For example, earth magicians can be engaged in construction, digging rivers, making bunkers, etc. Water magicians can work part-time as healers. Wind magicians can provide acceleration and magic shields to warriors.

Spells...

At first, everyone thought that magicians were not suitable for the battlefield. 500 years ago, a man named McCann Shancha changed the fate of magicians.

McCann Shancha invented an epoch-making spell called "Magic Link".

The spell "Magic Link" allows magicians to communicate and share magic through the creation of channels through their arms.

Not only that, the power and range of the magic released by the two magicians through the "magic link" are also greatly improved.

After more than 500 years of improvement, the current "magic link" has become quite mature.

Magicians can form powerful magic legions, can release range magic that is far more powerful than their level, and can attack targets thousands of meters away.

This attack method, which was like a map rail gun, frightened all the armies. It was at that time that the magicians became the most powerful force on the battlefield.

...

Magicians showed great power on the battlefield, and warriors and archers of the "vindictive type" certainly did not want to lag behind, so they began to imitate the "Magic Link" to study the combat version of the "vindictive link".

Miraculously, not long after, they actually developed the "Fighting Qi Link", and it had a similar effect to the "Magic Link".

The practitioners of the "Dou Qi System" were naturally very happy and quickly applied the "Dou Qi Link" to actual combat.

However, after actual combat, they found that the performance of "Fighting Link" was much worse than that of "Magic Link".

When the attacking warriors on the battlefield advance and charge, due to the different speeds of each person, the "fighting spirit link" can easily collapse due to violent movement.

A standing shield guard corps can maintain the "vindictive link" without interruption, but if all members stand still, what is the difference between this and a wall of earth?

Long-range shooting archers have certainly tried the "fighting link", because they can stand still and attack while maintaining the "fighting link" uninterrupted.

But archers also face a big problem, that is, their weapons cannot withstand it.

There are few bows and arrows in the world that can withstand the combined fighting spirit of hundreds or thousands of people, so after the experiment failed, archers had no choice but to give up bows and arrows and start researching other weapons, such as iron balls, javelins, stones, etc.

Until the end, the archers gradually gave up the "vindictive link".

Although javelins and iron balls can be used, their damage range is too small.

Compared with the large-scale area magic of the Magic Legion, the killing efficiency is pitifully low.

…

After the "fighting spirit system" gave up the "fighting spirit link", the magicians gradually increased their status by virtue of their outstanding performance on the battlefield.

In just five hundred years, the magicians finally grew into existences that can rival the Church of Holy Light, which has existed for two thousand years.

The greatest weapon used by the Kingdom of Anjou to control the Principality of Lane is the control of magicians.

The Kingdom of Anjou prohibits the Principality of Lane from forming a magic legion, and in the Principality of Lane, all magic academies and magic guilds are forcibly independent. The Kingdom of Anjou regularly attracts magic geniuses from the Principality of Lane to study in the Kingdom of Anjou every year.

Precisely because of the "magician control", the Principality of Lane has become the stable rear area of ​​the Kingdom of Anjou. Although the Principality of Lane has been hoarding 80% of the country's troops in Delphi Fortress, it is just a show.

...

The above is what Sean summarized after reading the book for an afternoon.

Sean sorted out the information he had gained and sighed slightly.

If there was no fighting spirit magic in this world, we would all be ordinary people. We could rely on our advantages as time travelers to rapidly develop industry and produce guns, planes, and tanks. Not to mention conquering the whole world, we would still be able to survive in a small corner of the world.

But the magic legion in this world is so powerful, even if I create these heavy weapons, they may not be of much use. It seems that I still have a long way to go.

...

Not long after, Sean returned to his residence in a carriage, preparing to change his clothes and go to the Earl of River's dinner party.

When Sean arrived at the door of the residence, he immediately saw Windsor waiting at the door.

At this time, Windsor took a brand new shield, which should have been remade for him by the butler Henry.
