The war is over.
No, can this one be considered a war? Countless elves who witnessed what happened before and after asked themselves this question.
When the first elf who served as a bait came out of the woods in the predetermined direction, all the elves deployed on the trees and in the outposts were all filled with fear. They adjusted their breathing, repeatedly clenched the longbows in their hands, and expelled some unnecessary thoughts from their minds.
They knew that the war against the centaurs was unlike any they had ever experienced before. Whether it was driving away thieves or clashing with the human kingdom on the border, nothing could compare with what was about to come.
...As far as the results are concerned, what we worried about before the war came true to a certain extent. It was indeed a completely different war than what I had experienced.
The cavalry reaching charging speed had almost nothing to withstand it except the city walls. It's like a flesh and blood millstone. It can only use human lives and corpses to slow down the opponent's speed and eventually block the opponent. This is "common sense" recognized by fans. But the lingering smell of blood on the tip of his nose and the bright red everywhere in his eyes seemed to give this 'common sense' a new explanation.
Logically speaking, with a hearty victory, the victor should be rejoicing. Not only celebrating the victory, but also feeling happy that he could survive.
But at the end of this battle, the elves all looked at the longbows in their hands sadly, and then a feeling of sadness filled their chests. A question that I don’t want to know the answer to, but I can’t help but ask myself: What would be the result if I was the one charging today?
When I heard that the Centaur coalition was approaching, what I felt was not so much despair as a deep regret. If there was no civil war, if there was no problem with World Tree, if this... if that... for various reasons, I would have to face a hopeless war. Best of all, the reasons for these mistakes can be blamed on someone else.
Facing the attack of this human magician, he also felt a deep despair. There are no 'ifs', just that no matter how hard you try, no matter how unlucky you are, you can't find a chance to turn things around. Perhaps the only chance is to use various conspiracies, tricks, and surprise attacks to lure the enemy. In short, don't let the magician touch the weapon that can shake up an era.
Those who felt more desperate than the elves were the four silver-bearded dwarves. They have always believed that the failure of peaceful armed forces was just the result of the opponent's restraint technology. After an in-depth understanding, they understood that this technology could be used in reverse to become a shield for defense and a spear for offense, allowing the peaceful armed forces to take their combat effectiveness to a higher level. At that time, the weak magician will still have to succumb to the power of peaceful arms.
But what we saw today, if we put peaceful armed forces in an offensive position, would there be a different result?
Maybe such an attack cannot penetrate the peaceful armed forces? Jermaine thought to himself as he tried to comfort himself. But...really trying the waters of peaceful armed forces? Just thinking about it, without actually hitting him, the dwarf felt a shiver running from his tailbone to his forehead.
But not everyone was so frightened that they could not speak. The calico-colored kitten ran out of nowhere and stood at the bottom of the trunk of the World Tree. It patted the dead tree with its front paws and meowed in protest. Although the sweet milky voice has not changed, it is full of energy, completely unlike the sick and dying look yesterday.
Only then did Lin turn his head and notice the condition of the World Tree. Although the M134 multi-barreled machine gun was completed a long time ago, the energy supply has not been finalized, and only the connection part has been reserved. As this situation was urgent, of course someone immediately set his sights on the super battery around him - the World Tree.
If what you want is the energy tide between dimensional gaps, then it can be said to be inexhaustible here. However, the Midland version of the M134 is a weapon designed based on magical power, and it is impossible to directly access the energy tide filling this space. It's like filling a car with gasoline with diesel. Even if the car can be repaired, people may have a heart attack due to the bill. Before the car is sent for repair, people have to send it for repair first.
Instead of trying to convert temporarily, it is better to directly draw the converted power from the World Tree and use it. So someone made a connection cable, one end of which was connected to the power supply center of the machine gun according to the eight powers, and the other end, which looked like a giant earphone plug, was inserted into the tree.
I thought it would be like installing a faucet on a bucket. When water is drawn, the water level in the entire bucket drops together. But now it seems that the power contained in the World Tree cannot flow around like water, or that its internal exchange and replenishment speed is not fast enough.
The part of the tree trunk where the machine gun's power supply cable is inserted is dead gray, and there are serious cracks and peeling on the surface. It looks so dry that it seems like a large piece can be peeled off if you pinch it with your fingers. In fact, this was the case. Lin just stretched out his hand and knocked, and large pieces of debris and dust fell down.
Looking at the layer of dust on his hands, Lin dusted himself off. This thing seems serious, but it's not that serious. The necrotic part of the tree that had been drained of its power seemed to be completely dead and could not be saved. However, this part accounted for less than one thousandth of the total area of the tree.
According to the original plan, if street fighting really took place in the small tree-shaped village, the area where the World Tree would be hit by waves would definitely not be as small as the one in front of you. But it won't be completely necrotic like now, so it's really hard to say which one is better after coming and going.
But is an explanation useful at this time? Instead of wasting your lips and tongue on reasoning, it's better to use coaxing. So Lin put the machine gun on the shelf, reached out and picked up the snarling kitten, and moved it along its fur. And this trick worked as expected. Lahti was so comfortable that she narrowed her eyes, her beard trembled, and she even made a squeaking sound.
Someone was just stroking the cat with one hand, looking at the person next to him, with an expression like "Come on and praise me".
Fin simply ignored someone's expression. Such achievements are nothing to her. She didn't want to say something against her will just to please someone.
The two apprentices who couldn't escape speaking looked at their teacher helplessly. Kaya first reported a series of numbers: "Teacher, from the beginning to the end of the battle, it took a total of 11 minutes and 32 seconds to shoot 73,242 luminous bombs. There were a total of two attacking centaurs. Of the 1,126 people, 662 escaped and 1,464 died. On average, each person was hit by 17 luminous bullets, with a miss rate of 66%. This achievement , it should be... considered a failure."
The brown-skinned and black-haired girl tilted her head and came to such a conclusion. Someone jumped up and said in an octave higher voice: "How can this be considered a failure? Is there a hole in your brain?"
"But... you spent so long and still missed so much." The victimized girl felt aggrieved and said with a flat mouth.
"According to your statistics, I can kill an enemy with an average of fifty rounds. Do you know how high this number is? And what's the point of missing a target? This is a machine gun! It relies on barrages to make a living. How can it be? It's possible to achieve 100% hit. This is not a sniper rifle. Have you ever seen a weapon that is more efficient and more lethal than this?"
"Yes, the Tower of the Great Sage." Kaya said confidently.
"big……"
As the saying goes, a man doesn't shed tears lightly, just because he hasn't reached the point of sadness. When I mention that familiar name, I don’t know whether it’s because I was slapped in the face by myself, which made me feel ashamed and sad; or it’s because I couldn’t grasp what I had in the past, and when I look back, I can no longer grasp it. Such a reality makes me sad. Unbearable. Someone could only cry and bite his lower lip.
But the two girls above were not willing to give up. They punched someone in the face with one punch on the left and the other on the right. "Yes, yes, where did we need any targeting or tactical arrangements before? Once we locked them, they were blacklisted and they were reduced to scum. How can there be so much trouble." "Locked is okay, I'm better I miss the adjustable attack speed in the past. If I attack at full speed, with the number of centaurs today, it will take thirty seconds? Well, twenty seconds?" "The range is better. Use the arcane eye to detect, you can see it It can hit all of them, and it still hits accurately. Isn't this more scary? If you kill slower, can the enemy break through the tower's defense and threaten us?" "And the most important thing should be the energy consumption part, right? . Filled with magic stones, there is no use for two shots. This kind of thing can only become a burden. I have been carrying this space-consuming thing along the way, and now it is finally put to use. Do you want to be praised? Yes. It's so beautiful." "In short, in comparison, this weapon is difficult to use and has many restrictions. It is really weak."
lame? This is the only question in the minds of the elves who heard the conversation. And someone at the center of the attack simply covered his face with a cat and burst into tears!
The little guy who had been stroked so comfortably was now being pushed against his face. A pair of dead fish eyes and a world-weary face, just facing the wind, messy.
The two apprentices did not realize or feel sad about their teacher's anger at all, and began to clean up the aftermath. Kaya first used the flying technique to retrieve the Eye of the Evil Satellite hanging on the tree.
Hallumi untied the cable on the machine gun, rotated the barrel, moved a barrel with a special function to the firing position, and then tightened the latch to fix it. With one hand in front and the other behind, the girl held the machine gun on her waist and came to a large area of dead centaurs. As soon as the trigger was grasped, a blazing pillar of fire immediately spewed out from the muzzle, igniting all the corpses.
When Lin was making this machine gun, he did not make it secretly. Instead, he asked two apprentices to do it, so operating this machine gun was not difficult for them. Some extra features, but certainly quite familiar.
The machine gun itself has an energy storage design, but if it is used for shooting, it can only last for 3 seconds when it is fully charged, and then it will be useless. But it is still very interesting to use it to perform regular magic, just like it is used to burn corpses now.
It was not the first time for Fen to watch the two girls arrange things skillfully. But even handling corpses so skillfully... Fen couldn't help but ask: "Well, aren't you afraid?"
"Afraid?" Halumi thought for a while before remembering what the lich was pointing to. She said: "This is not the first time I have seen this kind of scene. It will feel disgusting at first, but after a while, it will be nothing more than that. Just get used to it."
