From Wild Mage to Wizard King

Chapter 444 War of Attrition

After the main gun of the Jackdaw began to charge, the Jackdaw, which was already very large and still emitting strong energy fluctuations, became the most prominent and conspicuous existence on the battlefield.

Grom, who rose in Winter City, also shifted his gaze from the former Elf Embassy, ​​which was now empty, and looked up at the Jackdaw in the sky.

He stretched out his huge body condensed by divine power and pointed his right finger at the void.

The huge force crossed the distance between him and the Jackdaw and fell directly above the Jackdaw. The blood-colored divine power visible to the naked eye gathered above the Jackdaw.

A red meteorite quickly formed, and it fell with a sharpness that seemed to be able to cut everything and an indescribable terrifying bloody breath.

"Bang!"

The meteorite collided with the shield of the Jackdaw, and violent energy fluctuations broke out.

"Calculation completed. This attack will cause the shield capacity to increase by 9%. There is no threat of falling."

Facing Grom's attack, the core of the Jackdaw calmly calculated the shield damage caused by the attack. After confirming that there was no threat through calculation, it closed the main gun and evaded, but chose to resist the attack and continue to charge the main gun.

The energy shield of the Jackdaw is one of the pinnacle products of traditional spells and emerging strange machine technology, and the shield capacity is the upper limit of the damage that the Jackdaw's shield can bear. Before the shield capacity is penetrated, the shield core is firmly protecting the Jackdaw.

In addition, the shield capacity will decrease autonomously over time. Only within a certain period of time, a certain amount of damage to the Jackdaw's shield can penetrate the shield core.

Although the shield capacity has increased by 9%, it will soon drop.

"The second-level main gun has completed the charging, and the final calibration is completed. Fire."

As the core chose to fire, the main gun of the Jackdaw opened fire while bearing the damage above the Jackdaw and spreading the energy shock to the surroundings.

The huge amount of energy passed through the layers of main gun arrays stacked together, continuously transforming, compressing, and strengthening.

Soon, this huge amount of energy reached the muzzle, and from a seemingly simple magic array at the muzzle, a dark blue dazzling beam shot out, and blasted straight at the false god Grom in Winter City.

Five second-level main guns fired at full force, and the dark blue beam that was comparable to the eight-ring spell crossed the entire sky, and the dazzling light almost illuminated every corner of the battlefield.

"Bang!!!"

Five dazzling beams hit Grom, and the huge energy impact that collided and leaked almost instantly turned all the buildings within hundreds of meters around Grom into dust.

While the second-level main gun was attacking, the only first-level main gun of the Jackdaw also completed the charging, and a more dazzling beam shot out from the muzzle of the main gun, blasting Grom in the dust.

Just as this beam came over, in the dust, a right hand condensed by divine power stretched out from it, opened its palm, and tried to catch the beam.

"Boom!"

The deep blue beam collided with Grom's right hand, consuming each other. The beam was stopped, but Grom's right hand, which was condensed by divine power, was also constantly being consumed and decomposed.

At the same time, the secondary guns of the Jackdaw also aimed at the green-skinned orcs on the ground. The muzzles roared, countless beams swept across the battlefield, and a large number of green-skinned orcs disappeared in the beams.

Under the Jackdaw, Tula also ordered the committee army to advance.

Although they were all first-time encounters with false gods like Grom, with the information provided by Roland, they also knew very well how to deal with the false gods, and had already drawn up a battle plan before.

The Jackdaw dealt with the false gods, restrained him and consumed his power, while the ground forces cleaned up the believers and cut off the channels for the false gods to obtain the power of faith from the believers.

With the information provided by Roland, the committee even knew the true situation of the false gods, as well as their shortcomings and loopholes, better than Grom.

In addition to the intelligence obtained by the Shadow Dancers during their previous investigation of Winter City, the committee had an absolute advantage in intelligence. They knew exactly who the false god was, and also knew what his anchor and believers were.

Grom took over the identity of the fourth prince and disguised himself as a member of the royal family of the Northern Kingdom. Since the fourth prince nominally inherited the throne of the Northern Kingdom, he was the nominal master of the power of faith in the North.

In addition, Grom wantonly transformed the Northern orcs into green-skinned orcs, used mental spells to control them and permanently plunge them into madness and stupidity,

and transformed them into his most devout believers who only knew how to fight and pray.

By wantonly eroding and assimilating the believers in the North, he distorted the foundation of the believers, and he annexed and occupied the name of the fourth prince,

and thus he successfully usurped the faith of the North and completed the ascension to the god with the power of faith that the North had accumulated for who knows how many years.

Moreover, the power of faith will dissipate on its own if it is not deliberately preserved.

Therefore, although the power of faith in the North has been accumulated for many years, the amount is not particularly large, and most of it is stored in the believers themselves. After Grom became a god, the power of faith accumulated in the North has been sucked away.

Therefore, every time a believer is killed, the power of faith in his body will leak out and dissipate, and Grom will be able to mobilize less power of faith, and the recovery speed of divine power will become slower.

In addition to clearing believers, threatening the anchor point is also possible. After all, Grom is a disguised person who seizes faith, and the faith he anchors is not completely his.

As long as you find a transcendent who is qualified to compete with him, you can compete for faith, tear off his disguise as the fourth prince, and shake his anchor point.

However, the only ones who could compete with Grom were the leaders of the three civil war factions in the Northern Kingdom. It was too troublesome and time-consuming to ask them to come.

In addition, the concept and danger of false gods had not yet spread, and who knew whether they would also want to ascend to the gods. Therefore, the committee did not intend to threaten the anchor point, but planned to directly eliminate the believers in the North.

After being strafed by the Jackdaw, causing a large number of believers to die suddenly, Grom also released wind and waves around, and all the dust was blown away.

He looked down at the green-skinned orcs, and the power of God covered them. Then, the green-skinned orcs who were kneeling on the ground stood up. They turned their heads and looked at the surging committee army with their frenzied eyes.

Under the effect of the power of God, the green-skinned orcs' already short lifespan was once again forcibly activated, and the vitality was forcibly activated and pulled out of the body.

At the cost of a significant decrease in lifespan, their bodies quickly expanded several times, and countless dark green blood and mist emerged from their bodies, forming a protective shield above the green orcs, blocking the secondary gun attack of the Jackdaw.

The short distance between the two armies quickly shortened, and then the committee soldiers fought with the green orcs.

Relying on the stimulation of divine power and krypton life, the combat power of the green orcs has also increased several times compared to before. Grom's madness and the authority of war also acted on them, greatly improving the combat ability of the green orcs.

The crazy green orcs lost all pain, and their already strong vitality became even more exaggerated at this moment. Even if they were cut in half, pierced through the brain and heart, the bodies of the green orcs could still continue to move. Their vitality was infinitely close to that of the mid-level extraordinary.

The expanded combat power, coupled with the vitality that was infinitely close to that of the mid-level extraordinary, made the crazy green orcs so strong that they were a little scary.

But the committee is not a pushover. During the three years of reconstruction and seven years of economic development, Roland's investment in the army has been higher year by year.

The strength of all soldiers has been significantly improved compared to ten years ago. There are countless second- and third-ring supernaturals. Even the soldiers in the first ring have a very solid foundation. The number of mid-level supernaturals has also increased significantly.

In addition to the supernatural level, a large amount of supernatural knowledge has been popularized within the army. Basically, every soldier has learned and mastered a set of supernatural knowledge system. They are no longer the quick-learned supernaturals during the Greenskin War. Their strength can be said to have made great progress.

In addition to strength, the committee's army has also made significant improvements in weapons and equipment. A large number of advanced strange equipment have been fully promoted.

All soldiers are equipped with strange armor, and all standard weapons have been upgraded.

In addition, a series of advanced strange equipment such as traction element cannons and magic bombs have also been fully equipped.

As for the rune musket from the dwarf technology tree, it was not adopted because of its high manufacturing cost. Even if it was converted to the strange machine technology, the cost performance was not high, and the lethality was insufficient.

The individual defense of the extraordinary is too high. Only the weapon that can burst out the lethality of the mid-level spell, such as the traction element cannon, can cause effective long-range damage. The rune musket is only the attack power of the first and second ring spells at best, which can't break the shield of the strange machine armor.

It's okay to fight ordinary people, but if it is really used to fight extraordinary people, not only the damage is average, but also the speed is slow, and it is easy to be dodged.

Of course, the committee has not given up the road of firearms. How to miniaturize and micro-miniaturize the element array under the strange machine technology is still one of the research projects of the committee, but the effect is not very good, and the cost performance is not as good as letting the soldiers of the committee to cut.

Therefore, the long-range arms of the committee's army are still mainly artillery and grenadiers, and there are no musketeers.

Of course, this does not mean that musketeers have no value. The conditions for using musketeers are very low, and ordinary people can also use them. If the cost can be reduced and a mortal musketeer army that is not afraid of death can be formed, it is not impossible to use it to fight against the extraordinary army.

It is just that for the war committee army, which is full of extraordinary people and elite per capita, rune muskets are not worth equipping.

In short, musketeers can only be used as cheap cannon fodder, using the lives of countless ordinary people in exchange for the lives of extraordinary people. For the committee, this kind of cannon fodder is not needed, and the committee is reluctant to use precious population as cannon fodder.

When the committee army was about to come into contact with the green-skinned orcs, the artillery unit behind the committee launched a crazy bombardment on the densely populated area of ​​​​the green-skinned orcs.

Unlike the heavily built Jackdaw, the traction artillery equipped by the army is basically a fixed element array. Therefore, colorful and various artillery bombardments bloomed among the green-skinned orcs. However, except for the green-skinned orcs in the center of the bombardment who were directly killed, most of the green-skinned orcs were only blown to pieces.

After the close combat between the two sides, while the artillery units in the rear continued to bombard, the grenadiers in the front also began to exert their strength. They activated the magic bombs and threw them to the front line with force.

One magic bomb after another was thrown into the green-skinned orcs, exploding with a bang, causing damage to a large number of green-skinned orcs.

Under the continuous bombing, when the crazy orcs rushed to the legion soldiers, they were basically injured.

When they rushed to the front, the legion soldiers who had already activated the strange armor and ignited the blades directly raised their swords and dismembered, crushed, and completely killed the rushing green-skinned orcs.

Although the attacks of the green-skinned orcs also fell on the legion soldiers, they could only hit the shields on the strange armor, consuming some of the shield's energy. Moreover, even if the shield energy was exhausted, the legion soldiers could rotate and replace the soldiers with full shields to the front line.

In this case, although the combat effectiveness of the green-skinned orcs increased by more than ten times, they were still suppressed by the committee army. There was no other difference except that they were a little harder to kill than before and needed to be chopped a few more times.

While fighting on the ground, the Jackdaw and Grom were also bombarding each other.

Due to the limitations of the pseudo-god, Grom's range of activities after unfolding his divine body was actually very limited. Since his household registration in the world was revoked when he ascended to the god, he would be rejected by the world.

If he hides himself, he will not be particularly targeted, but if he unfolds his divine body, he will be completely exposed, and the world will naturally reject him.

It was okay in Winter City, which was filled with the power of faith. The entire Winter City was polluted by the power of faith, and Grom would not feel particularly strong rejection. However, if he walked out of Winter City, he would have to consume more power to fight against the rejection of the world.

Therefore, in order to reduce consumption, Grom basically only moved in Winter City.

The Jackdaw, which knew this, did not actively approach Winter City and move around Winter City.

The Jackdaw kept a distance from Grom and bombarded each other.

In addition, although the secondary gun attack of the Jackdaw was blocked, the Jackdaw did not stop attacking. While floating in the air,

it bombarded Grom, and continued to attack the green-skinned orcs with secondary guns.

For the war of attrition, the Jackdaw was not afraid at all. The energy system of the Jackdaw was built by the committee with the most advanced technology and the best materials. It was a top energy system that could not be replicated before.

The self-recovery of the energy core built by the Tears of the Moon Goddess alone was enough to support the consumption of the Jackdaw, and even the energy reserves did not need to be called.

In addition, because he was not clear about the mechanism of the Jackdaw's shield, Grom was still thinking about slowly consuming and breaking the shield. Therefore, the Jackdaw's shield capacity has been maintained at 30%, and it cannot be penetrated at all.

After fighting for a long time, the combat power of the Jackdaw did not decrease at all, while Grom's strength decreased significantly due to the consumption of divine power.
