Everyone in West Wind Valley looked at the two cannon barrels on Orion's back, and then at the main cannon on their own backs or shoulders. They were all thoughtful and silent.
The power of plasma cannons and railguns means that even if they don't equip both, they will at least choose one, with the railgun being the first choice. Because although the latter has ammunition limitations, it consumes less energy than the former, and the small-sized rail gun can still produce considerable power.
However, after the plasma cannon is shrunk, as long as the energy storage falls below a certain limit, it becomes worse than a water gun. The plasma cannon is not simply an energy-imitation mass bomb, but an attack method that truly relies on a large ball of energy to stun and kill the enemy.
However, a certain human magician vaguely mentioned the use of the main cannon, and everyone was not really stupid enough to not understand the intention behind it. But someone asked anxiously: 'Friend, is this okay? '
In one sentence, Lin understood the concerns of everyone in West Wind Valley, or it could be said that this was the mentality of many warriors in the old era. If you want to fight, just fight head-on; throwing cold arrows or plotting against someone is too cheap.
This kind of concept can actually be said to be a concept deliberately guided by rulers in order to facilitate their rule. The most obvious example is that in the Middle Ages, European civilians and knights could use guns, swords and bows, but crossbows were only allowed to be used and possessed by the military. In the Song Dynasty in my hometown, people could walk around with swords, swords and clubs, but it was illegal to carry a bow.
At that time, the social atmosphere that was advocated was mostly heroes in close combat and bears in distant combat, which made people keen on hand-to-hand combat. But why is it that the official organization is the one that retains the most long-range weapons? Isn't this intriguing?
Lin Ye explained: "Friends, think about it." Because you have hands and can use tools, is it a shameful act to hunt beasts that cannot use tools with weapons? '
Everyone in West Wind Valley, including Orion, shook their heads in response to someone's question.
Lin continued: "Then you clearly carry guns that can be used for long-range attacks, but you are ashamed to use them. You would rather run in front of your opponent and greet them with your fists. What does this mean?" Do you think that with the rate of fire and preparation time of a plasma cannon or a railgun, it is a weapon that can be used safely in fierce close combat? Or is it just a beautiful decoration? '
He was mocked mercilessly, making everyone in West Wind Valley look at each other. However, the concept that has been maintained for a lifetime is not so easy to change. Orion thought about someone's proposal and said hesitantly: 'Friend, I am not against your opinion. Just a sneak attack... well, it's not good after all. '
Orion probably understood the meaning of the railgun's range best. This means they can attack targets from beyond visual range. But launching an attack outside visual range is a sneak attack anyway.
Watching the tall iron man use his words carefully to avoid hurting others. In response to such thoughtfulness, Lin Zaigao glanced at Orion and couldn't help but find it a little funny.
Lin said: 'I don't know whether the people from Moon Bay will notify you first when they come to cause trouble for you, or whether they will shout "Ula la la" and charge directly towards you. If it's the latter, then it's not a sneak attack, it's just an extra window of time from when the opponent appears to when he kills you. If you really don't want to bear the name of injustice, that's easy. Find someone brave enough to go directly to Moon Bay to issue a declaration of war. Tell them, we're going to beat you up, so be ready. In this way, it wouldn't be considered a sneak attack. '
'Hmm~. 'It sounds like a myth, but it feels somewhat correct. Everyone in West Wind Valley pondered.
Seeing that these stone heads couldn't turn around for a while, Lin had no choice but to say: 'We have declared that we are going to fight. Is it possible that we still need to tell them how we are going to fight? Please prepare a targeted defense? This is going too far. '
'Well, that's not necessary. 'O'Lean scratched his head angrily, and asked tentatively: 'Then we advance to the settlement of Moon Bay, send people to declare war, and then carry out artillery bombardment? '
Lin laughed again at the tall iron man's opinion that he was too cautious. Pointing to the ground, he asked: 'From this position, do you have a way to directly bombard Moon Bay? '
The place everyone in West Wind Valley chose to stay was on the hilly highlands. At the end of the field of vision is a bay terrain, but there is no real sea water in the earth elemental plane. What is churning there is a kind of low-temperature magma unique to the earth elemental plane.
The cause is that too high a concentration of magic energy destroys structures made of ordinary inorganic materials that do not have the ability to store magic energy, making them unable to maintain a solid appearance. And such destruction can actually be regarded as a kind of purification and smelting. Because in the rubbing and baptism of magical energy, the liquefied inorganic matter will gradually change its characteristics, merge into magical energy, and even change the arrangement of the crystals.
In other words, what was in front of Lin was the process of ordinary materials being refined and extracted into magical materials. It's just that this process is not man-made, but a natural phenomenon in the earth elemental plane.
At the edge of the smelting sea, the coast seems to be struggling to support the erosion of the smelting sea, and has been eroded out of the crescent-shaped bay. At the intersection of the coast, you can see shining crystals being washed away from a distance. This may be the reason why the Moon Bay settlement settled in this location. Those crystals washed up on the shore are undoubtedly materials suitable for becoming the bodies of elemental creatures.
The location of the Moon Bay settlement is about 5.6 kilometers away from where Orion and others stopped, according to visual inspection. There is no obstruction in the middle, and you can see it clearly from top to bottom. Of course, at this distance, the settlement is about the size of a grain of rice. If you have poor eyesight, you may even miss it.
At such a distance, Orion's steely face could actually make an expression similar to that of a human. He narrowed his eyes and stared for a while, then gave up and said, "My friend, although the railgun can hit the Moon Bay, we can't target anyone at all." If you just want a warning shot, maybe we can advance closer. '
'Tsk tsk tsk tsk! ’ He smacked his tongue and waggled his fingers. Lin said with regret: "You still missed the point. This is not how artillery battles are fought." And do you think that the gift of fire is only this steel body? No, I said it, the greatest gift is here. ──'
Lin pointed at his head and emphasized again.
'──It is knowledge and the ability to be dominated by knowledge. All of this should exist in the inheritance of fire. It just seems that you are not used to the new inherited knowledge. '
Seeing all the steel giants in West Wind Valley, they all looked confused. Lin shook his head and said helplessly: 'Let's do this. In this battle, you first hand over the command to me. I took you through it once using my method. After this battle, the command was returned. I will no longer interfere in your battles unless you make a request or inquiry to me. How about this, are you willing to trust me again? '
The reason for emphasizing trust again is nothing more than to remind Orion and others that they had already trusted a certain human magician when the fire transformed their elemental bodies. Everything is difficult at the beginning, but now that it has begun, everything after that becomes a matter of course. It's like trusting one more time in front of you doesn't seem to be that difficult.
