My Endless Life
Chapter 19 The Magic Army's Disadvantages
Rolex Military Academy.
In Bolent's separate office, Li Qi sat neatly next to the coffee table.
Bolent didn't have any airs about being a leader. After he brought Li Qi here, he even poured him a cup of hot tea himself before starting this conversation.
"Warrant Officer Li Qi, tell me. I am very concerned about what you said before. I want to know why you have such thoughts."
"This... is just some humble opinion of the lower official..."
"It doesn't matter. I'm not your commander yet. You can treat me as an ordinary teacher in the college, or even a classmate. The communication between us is just casual chat, so you don't have to feel any psychological burden."
Bolent smiled and comforted Li Qi, telling him not to be nervous.
Although based on his appearance, just smiling is enough to make people nervous.
Seeing that Bolent seemed to be very interested in him, Li Qi thought for a moment, hesitated for a while and then said bluntly:
"In this case, I will not refuse the post."
"Well, say whatever you want, I'm listening."
"After my official's understanding of the Magic Army during this period, I have determined that the Magic Army is an army composed entirely of magicians.
"In other words, if nothing unexpected happens, the way the Magic Army fights is to join forces to use magic to attack the enemy on the battlefield, or to carry out some special operations... I wonder if I understand this right?"
After Li Qi finished speaking, Bolent's eyes suddenly burst into light.
His expression became serious and he asked:
"What do you mean by 'special operations'? Can you give some examples?"
"For example... carrying out covert operations, beheading operations, assassination operations, or some small-scale operations that need to be resolved quickly... The above is the official's guess..."
Li Qi spoke to Bolent based on his memory of ‘special operations’ in his previous life.
But looking at Bolent's eyes that were getting wider and wider, Li Qi had to stop and make a summary.
He seemed to have said a bit too much.
"incredible……"
Bolent stared at Li Qi:
"As for the combat style of the Magic Army, it is still just a theory... Is this really your own guess?"
"My lord...sometimes I like to think wildly and make you laugh, sir."
The corners of Li Qi's mouth twitched slightly, feeling helpless.
It seemed like he really said a little too much.
In this era, there should be no concept of special operations, or similar concepts have just emerged.
Li Qi said so much now, and he completely hit the mark on Bolent's thoughts. It would be strange if the other party was not surprised.
Bolent stared at Li Qi seriously for a long time before continuing to ask:
"According to your statement, this force will carry out strategic strikes on the battlefield or carry out special operations. This should be regarded as a 'surprise force'. Why do you think this force cannot last long?"
"Because of the weapons, sir."
"Tell me more about it."
“Weapons in modern society are constantly evolving. A dozen years ago, various countries were still using flintlock rifles, but in recent years, bolt-action rifles have been developed.
"And this is not the limit of each country. All countries are working hard to develop new firearms or more powerful weapons of destruction. These weapons will gradually replace the status of magisters.
"If magisters use firearms, most of their magic cannot be used, but if they use melee weapons or staffs, they cannot compete with firearms."
Li Qi paused here to organize his words.
This is the reason why Li Qi is not optimistic about the Magic Army.
When others were using firearms, the Sorcerer Army could only fight the enemy with long knives and wands.
The maximum range of magic is only fifty meters. Even if a genius develops a new magic, this distance may not be extended much.
But the effective attack distance of firearms is 600 meters. Some sharpshooters with sniper talent can even hit anywhere within 600 meters.
If the Magic Army did not use firearms, fighting the enemy would be basically the same as facing death.
But if they use firearms, they are not much different from other armies.
Of course, Li Qi would not think that the formation of the Magic Army was really useless. When fighting in close combat, the strength of the Magic Army with magic and magic would definitely far exceed that of other arms.
But Li Qi has been on the front line for so long, and he knows deeply that many times when the two armies are fighting, they are shooting at each other with guns.
Only a small amount of time will the enemy or your own side launch a charge.
There were very few hand-to-hand encounters, and sometimes the magicians would be torn apart by bullets without even releasing their magic.
What impressed Li Qi most deeply was the incident when he was responsible for protecting a magician when he was just promoted to corporal half a year ago.
The magician was at the tactical level and had absolute domination within a range of fifty meters.
Countless magics were at his fingertips, and Li Qi learned much of his magic knowledge from him.
But on the day of the battle, the magician was shot into pieces by the enemy's bullets.
If a magician wants to cast spells to attack others, he needs to use his eyes to see.
He must stand in a position where he can see and be unobstructed in order to cast a wide range of magic.
Otherwise, the magic is likely to be blocked by the bunkers or trenches established by one's own side.
But standing outside is like setting up a bright target on the battlefield.
The magician became a target.
His magic shield blocked the first bullet, blocked the second bullet, but failed to block the third bullet.
So when the enemy concentrated their fire on him, even though he had built three layers of magic shields in front of him, they were all torn into pieces.
In the end...
Li Qi only had time to take away his broken limbs and retreat, without even a complete body.
This is the disadvantage of magicians.
Recalling the magician who died on the battlefield, Li Qi continued:
"The existence of the magic army may indeed influence the battlefield situation in the early stage, but when the weapons become more and more advanced, the magic army will lose its dominance over the battlefield.
"Therefore, I think that the magic army... has limited potential."
Li Qi chose his words carefully.
He did not say that the magic army would be abolished in the future, but it was obvious that if there was no change in the magic army, then this army would obviously not be able to compete with other armies.
After listening to Li Qi's words, Borent fell into deep thought.
He tapped his fingers on the table from time to time, and looked at Li Qi with his right hand supporting his chin.
After a while, he suddenly asked:
"Do you know who proposed to form the magic army? "
"..." Li Qi's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad premonition: "... Could it be... Could it be you, the commander?"
Borent immediately laughed:
"Warrant Officer Li Qi, you are very smart."
Although Borent did not say it explicitly, his words clearly acknowledged Li Qi's guess.
Li Qi's back was instantly covered with cold sweat.
In front of his future boss, who was also the commander who proposed the establishment of the Magic Army, he said a lot of words about the Magic Army's failure.
This is simply slapping someone in the face...
For a moment, Li Qi felt that his future was bleak.
But fortunately, Borent did not seem to blame Li Qi. Instead, he smiled and said:
"According to your idea, you think the Magic Army is not good because they don't have suitable weapons. Is that what you mean? ”
“…”
Li Qi was silent, and Borent added:
“Don’t be so reserved, I said before, this is just a casual chat between the two of us, I won’t be angry because of your opinion on the Magic Army, just say it directly.”
“…Yes, your subordinate…that’s exactly what I meant.”
Anyway, it’s already been said, there’s no point in hiding it, Li Qi nodded to Borent, admitting that this is indeed what he thought.
Bolint’s eyes narrowed with a smile.
“In that case, I wonder if Li Qi has time this weekend?”
“Yes…”
“Well, I’ll come to you this weekend and show you some ‘good stuff’.”
After saying that, Borent didn’t wait for Li Qi to respond, and ordered him to leave:
“Okay, the afternoon class is about to start, you go back to class first, and I’ll send someone to contact you on the weekend.”
“Yes! Then your subordinate will take his leave. ”
After saluting Borrent, Li Qi left Borrent's office.
After leaving Borrent's office, Li Qi let out a long breath, and his expression became a little serious.
When talking with Borrent just now, Li Qi instinctively used his superpowers to feel the other party's magic situation.
According to Li Qi's judgment, Borrent is definitely a title-level magician.
Not only that, the total amount of magic in his body is far greater than any title-level magician Li Qi has ever seen!
This is a strong man.
A strong man that Li Qi can't afford to offend.
I don't know why such a high-ranking and powerful leader would talk to me about this...
Looking back at the door of Borrent's office, Li Qi sighed.
Forget it, it's useless to think so much now.
Let's go back to class first.
Thanks to 'your lovely wild dad lhh' and 'what to do with stomachache' for the Qidian coins reward!
Thanks for your support!!
