Out of the cage

On the southern continent, various forces are mixed.

And this kind of mixing is not just an interactive mixing on the site, but also an interlacing on different levels.

For example, the largest armed force, the Pirate King, has mastered a pirate port and a black magic fleet with dozens of pirate ships.

But on the southern continent, the most official and mysterious mage power is the "Cabin of the Dead", the number and organization of mages are unknown.

This is like in the old BJ city, the manure shop responsible for picking up manure, and the gang of beggars responsible for begging. The two sides hardly meet face to face, and it is not clear how many people there are, but they coexist there. ~

In the black market exchange in the pirate's dark castle, members of the "Dead Man's Cabin" are acquiesced to come and trade. As long as the mage in the House of the Dead is willing to abide by the rules and pay enough money,

And the mages of "The Hut of the Dead" will also sell scrolls to the pirates. As long as pirates can help themselves collect materials, do dirty work such as "plundering village population" and "digging corpses".

Both sides collide in sordid insider affairs.

There are many "organizations" at different levels like this in the Southern Continent, making the Southern Continent very "diversified".

Oh, the formation of "diversity" does not mean tolerance, but the inability to build a ruling order.

All parties can only make peace, make peace, make peace. Make sure that all parties are rotten, and make sure that no one of you will appear strong.

~

Specifically, you can refer to the social status of the "United States of America" ​​in modern times.

They are quite diverse at the grassroots level of governance: "various ethnic groups", "minority groups", "anti-gun control", "drug liberalization", and "all kinds of small rural churches", they are almost all-encompassing. Because it cannot be governed, it simply advocates,

As Master Wen Yiduo famously said: Pour this pool of stagnant water with leftovers, let the colorful oil flowers cover it, and let the green mold grow as embellished gemstones.

But at the level that can be controlled by forces, it is definitely not pluralistic, but flexible standards, such as the Internet, - all banning of everything that does not conform to one's own values! At this time, we don't talk about diversity, we don't talk about freedom, and we only talk about "correct values" to you.

~

When the habits are diversified, it is easy for people in the environment to feel that this is "right" and "reasonable" in the voices of compromisers from all walks of life.

But once a strong external force intervened, it ruthlessly defeated all resistances. Such a stagnant "multiple" world will be completely subverted.

~

In the year 3589 of the Fengfu calendar, it is difficult to maintain diversity on the Fengfu continent.

The "machinery" from the main continent is a powerful force. To capture the thief, the king is captured first, and the biggest "chicken" is directly selected to kill.

On March 13, on the outskirts of Shark Harbor, the battleship of the Pirate King was defeated in an artillery battle in the open sea. A large amount of broken wood garbage floated in the tide.

After all, this is the place where the pirate king has been entrenched for generations. At the entrance of the bay, there are a large number of underwater magic traps, the effect is like the modern mines of the main world. Of course, the physical effect produced by these traps is not necessarily an explosion, but it can also cause huge damage to the steel hull.

Faced with this, the colonial legion must respond flexibly.

After the news came from the high-altitude reconnaissance puppet, Shan Zhen marked it on the map: Do not break through from the frontal coastline, but directly find a shoal to break through.

Just like many landing battles in the main world, naval artillery covers the flanks of the coastal defense line to cover the landing battle. (Nine out of ten coastal defense forts in the Qing Dynasty were lost in this way. Later, the bald Husong battle was defeated by the rear.)

At 8 o'clock in the morning, 15 10,000-ton battleships circled around 20 kilometers east of Shark Harbour, and baptized the shore with artillery.

These battleships are all in the style of earth battleships, with thick rivet metal armor, turrets arranged on the central axis, and thick barrels.

But the laws of physics in this world are different. The mode of bombardment is not the one on Earth, the mode of "flame bursts from the gun barrel, the projectile flies over several kilometers in an arc, and explodes on the ground".

There is an upper limit to the energy level in this world, and the energy in the gun barrel is controlled by the rune structure, but when flying out of the gun barrel for a distance of several thousand meters, the ultra-high energy level will quickly collapse on the orbit. —— Such an ultra-long-range attack will eventually draw a shining energy band in the air. This energy loss over distance is not cost-effective.

Therefore, the world's naval magic guns have no ballistics when firing.

In the solid barrel (prism), energy is accumulated in the rune, and then, an energy collapse point is formed at a position about ten meters directly in front of the muzzle, and the teleportation magic circle is unfolded.

In the captain's room, on the sighting system, the magic array will emit a large number of positioning beams, aiming at the coordinates outside the horizon to form terminal nodes.

And at the position bombarded by the magic cannon, with the arrival of the light beam, a point will be condensed first, and then a large number of nodes on this point will be deployed simultaneously, releasing the arcane together with the magic circle in front of the cannon.

In this world, all high-energy attacks do not have gorgeous ballistics, but directly attack the arcane at the coordinate point in the way of "tunneling"!

What the magic cannon emits is not just the flame explosion of the evocation system, it may also be frost, and it is more likely to be a spell summoning.

For example, when the battleship Mutsu on the ocean senses that there are a large number of dark creatures (ghouls) in the area, what the magic cannon bombards transmits is the "Spirit of Light".

As the teleportation array unfolded, thousands of glowing triangles spread out. These triangular cursors scattered like boomerangs on the Pirate King's defensive position. Looking for skeletons and ghouls on the position thousands of meters away, they swirled and strangled.

Under this gorgeous big move, the entire position was quickly cleared.

Then came the landing troops of several large ships, holding muskets and pushing small steam crossbow arrows (similar to infantry guns) to occupy the position, and carried out a roundabout attack, circumventing for ten kilometers, cutting off the back road of the pirate city-state.

This kind of troops supplied by industrialized logistics, even if it is a small landing force, is a regularized force of 4,000 people, and it is definitely not something that pirates can resist.

As for trying to use magic to change the situation of the battle.

Indeed, there are many warlocks among the pirates, even high-level dragon warlocks, who can release all kinds of magic. But-this is to compare the consumption of Austrian law with the colonial army backed by Xuanao and the Northern Industrial Party. They are obviously wrong.

~

On the 23rd, four hours after the landing battle, the colonial army had captured the outlying territory.

The "mechanical cans" with blue and gold patterns stood on the ground.

He wears a magic knight uniform imported by the Southern Chamber of Commerce from the Northern Industrial Party, and in his hand is the "Elastic Arcane Gun" prepared by the core high-energy runes provided by the Suspended Olympic Alliance. These pieces of equipment served as the finale in the colonial army and were used by specialized high-level regiments.

The southern warlocks and idle mages in Pirate Harbor tried to use their own forces to break through the siege, but they were all targeted by the northern colonial army.

~

On April 3, in addition to the smell of fish, the sea breeze was also mixed with the smell of corrupt corpses.

On the black pirate city wall, countless gallows are hung, and countless skeletons are hung on the upper layer of the gallows. On the platform at the front of the middle of the city wall, it is the fate of challenging the order of the pirate king.

For hundreds of years, this pirate city has been immersed in this dark atmosphere. The watchtowers on the city wall are the exaggerated splendor of the pirates, and the absurdity is dotted in the gloom.

However, this place is now in a doomsday situation. Thousands of soldiers and dozens of warships surrounded the city from both land and sea. ——A large number of pirates with chapped lips in the entire pirate city, waiting desperately, waiting, there may be a miracle of turning around.

It's just that they are heinous guys who only believe that they can do whatever they want when they are strong enough. Now that they are being abused by a stronger force, how can they have fate to help them?

~

The food in the Pirate City has been stored for several years, and if it is not enough, you can use the food making technique.

But the source of water cannot be changed

The colonial legion pushed the river upstream to change its course, and at the same time, laid a large number of shafts to guide the underground water veins away from the castle. The wells in the Pirate City are all showing mud.

More importantly, above the pagoda on the battleship, a gaseous light mirror with a diameter of more than 50 meters appeared, irradiating microwaves to the entire pirate city. These microwaves are not lethal. It just makes the water evaporate three or four times faster.

The air in the city becomes as dry as the desert.

After a few days, these pirates appeared quickly when the water source was not enough. At night, the cruel scene of stabbing each other with knives and drinking each other's blood began.

Of course, those who can kill each other in despair can also betray their teammates.

After a week of siege, the Pirate King's tyrannical rule failed, and his subordinates directly betrayed and blasted the city gate, allowing the colonial army to enter.

When the largest pirate is destroyed, and then the other participating pirates are wiped out, it will be the wind that sweeps the fallen leaves. A large number of pirates fled directly to the ocean.

~

after June

After the pirates were dealt with, the colonial development in the south continued, large-scale immigration continued, and tens of thousands of troops began to open up inland.

This further expansion invaded the territory of the native races on the mainland, such as tribes such as ogres, centaurs, and bristle boars.

However, few of these tribes can reach tens of thousands in size.

When the colonial army encountered these savage tribes, they used steam ballistas, bombed them, and then pushed them across with a set of modern gun tactics at close range.

Of course, in the course of this colonial war, the northern colonial forces fought against the local forces and also used a lot of auxiliary magic.

Generally, the spell of dispelling is used first to sweep away all the magical effects of bloodlust, berserk spell, ancestral protection, sharp stone armor, and so on. Before the volley of guns strikes, use a huge amount of sonic warheads to release a wave of fear.

Therefore, in actual combat, it often takes only a wave of muskets to shoot and destroy this group of tribal troops, and then draw out the bayonet and line up to drive them out.

The hut of the dead is soon implicated in the collapse of the tribe of these humanoid monsters.

The number of human mages in the hut of the dead only accounts for 30%. Most of the rest are shamans from various local races.

Of course, you can't see the specific racial identities of these mages. Their withered bodies, even the skeletons of necromancers, are all wrapped in black robes or black iron armor.

Perhaps some tall necromancer, beneath a cloak of darkness that floats. Probably an ogre that gnawed off its own head.

The House of the Dead is without a doubt the weirdest force here.

When the colonial army marched inland, it soon encountered a terrible disease. After the sudden attack of the poisonous miasma, a whole platoon of troops was bleeding all over their bodies, showing symptoms similar to "Ebola", and quickly collapsed. I can't afford it.

Or, outside the army camp, a high-level undead flying dragon appeared. They broke through the air defense net of the steam crossbow, spraying out dragon's breath full of phosphorus fire.

The unprotected soldiers were instantly burnt to their internal organs after being infected with the dragon's breath, turning them into necrotic skeletons. Even after some of them turned into skeletons, they didn't know that they had turned into skeletons, and they blindly touched the surroundings. Well, these dead are extremely sensitive to the breath of the living, and will rush to their former teammates with the flames of death.

Therefore, in this southward colonial war, the colonial army was also full of ghost stories unique to the development of the wild world.

~

It is not the turn of "industry" to take care of such a headache,

The mage group of the Olympic Alliance went to the south to conduct an "investigation". They had an intercontinental exchange with the Necromancers of the "Cabin of the Dead".

In the same sentence, Xuanao's Alliance of Truth is a modern scientific organization. In terms of scale and advancement, it is several generations ahead of other magical organizations of the same era.

There are only thirteen groups in the hut of the dead. For the first twelve groups, each group is led by a high-level necromancer, and the thirteenth group is all high-level necromancers, and they are no longer It's alive. Among them, the situation of fighting for power and profit makes it impossible for them to have the ability to jointly produce.

~

With the colony already occupying a stronghold in the coastal area, the Alliance of Truth built forty mage towers in just one month!

Each mage tower is an energy tower. For example, mage tower No. 23 is erected by the sea, and the sea within a radius of 80 kilometers is completely waveless, because all the tidal energy of the waves is collected by the mage tower.

The Alliance of Truth, relying on the advantages of energy and logistics, is looking for the "hut of the dead" to bang!

Orthodox Arcane Masters: What's so weird? It is unrecognizable that the arcane system is a fair exchange, and anything can be cracked as long as enough value is paid. There is nothing that "Explosion Magic" can't solve with one shot, if there is, then two shots.

In the process of the Arcanists of the Alliance of Truth looking for the hut of the dead

Carret's industrial party can do, that is, deliver some large forgings necessary for the mage's tower. Well, now, the more than 20-ton delta-wing aircraft hovering on the southern continent is also mass-produced by the industrial party when it receives the order. All parts except "High Rune".

~

June to August

In the net of heaven and earth laid by the arcanists of the main continent, the dirty necromancers ushered in a cross-age crush.

In front of the ordinary soldiers of the colonial army, the bone dragon who had been arrogant for less than ten days was killed by super-powerful flame storm, disintegration, radiant furnace and other magic, and killed eight of them.

Then, it is the process of growing mushroom clouds on the ground. Moreover, two green dragons ran away on the way.

How did the green dragon get involved? This is the sixth group of high-ranking mages in the House of the Dead who deliberately led the arcane mages into the so-called "forbidden area". Then these green dragons felt that their territory had been violated. What happened?

It's the irascible mages of the Alliance of Truth, beating up with the green dragon!

Because order was established in the entire continent anyway, and it didn't care about the involvement of "chaos and evil" forces.

~

In this way, the Southern Colonial Army, with the sponsorship of the main mainland's industrial forces, and its high-level armed forces under the platform of the Alliance of Truth, quickly established a brand new area of ​​influence.

This is an area where human powers have never been allowed to form nations in the past.

After Fengfuli 3590, in this strange area, as farmers who lost their fields began to plant crops, handicraftsmen from all walks of life began to produce, and a new city-state was established.

For these beneficiary human beings, behind this unprecedented fact is ~~~ God's promise?

When you "get" inexplicably, you will want to find spiritual sustenance to affirm that this "get" is reasonable.

This is the principle in the main world that "those who have gained a fortune should burn more incense and worship God".

"Industry, science, machinery", now there is a whole new continent in this world to be worshiped and believed in.
