Chapter seven hundred and twentieth: vassal
"It's very simple. If a person lives without dignity in normal times, how do you expect him to become a warrior when he needs it? So Lord Duke must implement his own system in the territory so that everyone can live with dignity." The Taoist priest of the war did not forget to spread Xia He's concept.
"The fairness of the merit system is the cornerstone. Everyone has room for upwardness, so they will naturally live with hope and hope, and then they will strive. If they are slaves no matter how they work, they will be slaves. What do you think of ordinary people? How do they choose when the demons come?"
The epic mage Thiago deeply agrees with him. His origin was a wild mage. If the duke had not given him a chance, he would be a great magician at most in his life.
And now, becoming an epic wizard is more likely to advance to legend.
Even if it is impossible to become a demigod further, the legendary wizard in the main world will have a lifespan of no less than three thousand years. Three thousand years can give him more opportunities to explore in the magic world. What a pleasant thing!
The reason why most magicians pursue power is to allow this power to protect themselves and have the power to explore the mysteries of magic.
This is the same as a Taoist priest, with only a few violent mages who like to fight.
In Xiahe's territory, all mages have to explore the mysteries of battle and be able to implement them personally. Then, based on their own experience, create various combat magic and combat equipment. These occupy 40% of the time spent on mage research, and the rest of the exploration is purely academic and private hobbies.
For example, Thiago has been doing personal hobbies, cultivating insects and extracting nectar with magical attributes.
The nectar he cultivated can be used directly as a potion, and the taste is also great. He also relied on this ability to pay off the debt of the Duke. If he had enough time, he would accumulate the resources needed to advance to the legend, and he would need to extract better nectar.
This kind of nectar is sold very well in the City of Stars, and even the Imperial Mages like it very much.
Although the Duke also owns the recipe, he did not compete for profit with him, but only charged the operating expenses. Now, he is the only one who makes this nectar.
Of course, the Duke controls the market and makes more money, but if the Duke wants to do it, he can do it himself and get rid of him as a magician.
Thiago is very satisfied. He has no connections and no funds. He is content to make the most fundamental part of the money.
The price of his nectar is already five times the cost.
The alchemy laboratory, which the duke was responsible for, was open to him at a low price, saving a lot of money than building one by himself.
The Duke gave him so many opportunities that he felt more pleasant than living anywhere. He wanted to maintain the Duke's system, because if he was elsewhere, he would at most sell formulas, sell techniques for cultivating insects, make a fortune, and then nothing had to do with him.
If the Duke no longer exists, he feels that the whole world will become unfair.
Even if he is an epic wizard, he will feel that he is living a life of mercy.
Outside the castle, the demon vassals who were rolling all over the ground were alive before, but now they were about to die in shame.
Even the mechanical structure was no longer attacking, and the mechanic soldiers were still slowly replenishing their guns. More than 400 demon vassals, only 70 were still alive, twitching on the ground, and they could not afford to be seriously injured.
"Send fire spitting robots out to clean up the battlefield and recycle the metal." Thiago issued an order, but the alarm was not lifted. In the sky, hundreds of small flying machinery flew to the east to find out if there were any new dangers.
An ordinary musket can only spray a few times. The robots who specialize in cleaning up the battlefield of the demons. The musket is connected to a huge metal box and is behind her back and can shoot for a long time.
The soldiers on the city wall watched the robot leave the castle and go to the battlefield to burn the corpses of the demons. Some soldiers sighed in a low voice: "I really like robots. We used to do this ourselves."
"Yes, but why don't we cancel these in our training?"
"You are stupid, the robot will run out of power. If it runs out of power, don't we have to give up on the spoils? Many rewards on the battlefield come from here. If you don't clean the battlefield, you will have much less income."
The miniature flight machinery has an hourly flight speed of only 160 miles.
However, there are only two hexagram airships in the entire castle, one is responsible for combat, and the other is required to be maintained and taken turns to take turns to the battle. The reconnaissance tasks are all completed by miniature flight machinery. The cost is low and the quantity is large. You can ignore the losses, as long as it can be recycled.
Two hours later, the alarm was not lifted. The miniature flight machinery saw that in the eastern region, a large number of demons gathered and almost advanced across the board. Due to the terrain, this hexagram castle was within the attack range, but the number of demons was obviously not that large. There were more demons gathering in the north and south.
Moreover, this time, large flight equipment appeared in the sky, with a diameter of more than one mile. It should be a flight weapon developed by the demon race, which can be airdropped on the demon army's infantry.
The demons originally had some insect-like existences that could drill into the ground. In addition, the flying demons in the air and infantry that could drop airdrops, it seemed that they were going to attack in general, but why did there be no warning before?
In the castle above the iron ore, Qiu Xuanji was nervously assembling a weapon.
On the magic tower in the core of the castle, this weapon looks like a short and thick magic cannon. The magic circle connected below goes directly into the earth and is driven by the formation of the entire castle. This is a powerful legendary weapon.
The other legends were all helping each other. When they heard that the demons were going to attack in large numbers, Qiu Xuanji did not stop.
The key drawings were only completed today, and the power of legend is needed to refine it on the magic circle.
This is an elemental cannon, with a very high attack frequency and can also accumulate energy to attack and kill the legendary demons. The previous weapons were unable to achieve the effect of the elemental cannon.
If this time is successful, it can be promoted and become the main weapon against the demon clan.
This thing cannot be compared with city weapons, and cannot be upgraded. What level is it made? What level will it be in the future? Daily losses are higher than city weapons. However, the advantage is that it is the attack frequency. The elemental rays emitted can cause hysteresis effects to the demons even if they cannot kill powerful demons.
Moreover, the locking ability is super strong. As long as you lock, the attack speed will not be avoided unless the enemy predicts it.
After the elemental cannon was completely integrated with the base, Qiu Xuanji said: "You do the rest. I want it to be completely completed before dark. The demons have arrived. I don't know when it will advance here, but we can't count on the empire or the temple."
"Yes." The three noble legends answered honestly. Qiu Xuanji is gentle on weekdays, but at this time, there is a kind of coldness. Even Gronis, the strongest among them, has a trace of fear in his soul.
Qiu Xuanji turned around and got off the turret of the Magic Tower, returned to the middle of the Elemental Pool, and contacted Xia He.
In the spell projection, Xia He appeared. He looked at Qiu Xuanji and asked, "Why, something big happened?"
"The demon race may have to attack the general."
"I understand, it should be a tentative attack. During this period, the demons opened many world channels and sent other world vassals. Of course, it was also very troublesome. Don't fight in the field, just defend the castle."
"Then do I need to support His Highness the Princess?"
"No, the princess has increased its troops to 30,000, and the emperor has allocated a large number of robots to her."
"The demons have flying warships, and the smallest diameter is one mile."
"It doesn't matter, they are all weapons within the Nine Heavens Gang Qi, which can be dealt with by magical crossbows. Moreover, if they don't reach the legend level, they dare not fly above the castle, as that is to die."
“It will easily cut off contact between us and the camp.”
"Don't worry, when necessary, open the semi-plane passage, and I will take people there directly." Xia He comforted Qiu Xuanji. He knew that Qiu Xuanji was worried about the more than 9,000 people under his command. As for Qiu Xuanji himself, a Taoist priest of Yangshen, the demon clan could easily deal with him as long as there were no strong men above level 60. As long as there was no demigod, he could escape.
The demons launch a vassal world to attack, which is very troublesome, which means that the demons feel that it is difficult to defeat the main world, and they have to carry out real human-sea tactics.
Xia He’s most troublesome thing is the human sea tactics, because when top forces cannot interfere, human sea tactics are the most effective means.
The tactics of the sea of people are not more than people, but in local battlefields, you can form superior forces, and their superior forces naturally include firepower. Even if the enemy is an archer, as long as the number of feather arrows that are instantly invested exceeds your musket, you will fail.
Fortunately, this is the main world and can create robot warriors.
An ordinary robot warrior has a strength that exceeds that of a first-level profession, but does not have skills. Without the help of technological weapons, a robot warrior cannot beat the lowest-level profession. As long as one skill continues, the robot warrior will fail.
However, when dealing with the demon clan, the professions of the demon clan are reflected in their strength and genetic abilities.
The calculation core of robots is not affected by skills targeting soul attacks. Therefore, this low-level robot is a good thing to deal with low-level demons.
"Sir, your stuff is transmitted here, with the highest priority." At this time, the guardian mage came to report.
“What is it?”
"The demon-sealing box is sealed and cannot be opened. I can only ask you to come here in person."
"Okay." Xia He put down what he was doing and came to the teleportation array. He saw a purple-gold demon-sealing box. On the edge of the teleportation array, the surrounding mages were helpless, not that they could not open and could not move.
Xia He looked down and saw that on the top of the Demon-Crossing Box, there was a divine pattern coiled up and painted into the shape of a spider.
