The battle with the Reapers was not the most difficult for Duanmu Huai, but it did lose a lot of warships of the Inquisition. Therefore, after the battle of the Reapers ended, the Inquisition began a new round of work to collect resources and expand the fleet.

After the battle with the Reaper, Duanmu Huai also understood that even though the Reapers in the game were almost extinct after being killed by players, the problem is that there are no players on his side. It can be said that he is now playing the stand-alone version of the online game. In the game, the game that players fight to kill is about to become extinct, but on their own side, just relying on numbers can also crush him to death.

The Reapers are like this, so when the Tyranids come, won't they be more dead?

Faced with this situation, what else can Duanmuhuai do?

There is only one way.

Blast!

Explode soldiers to death!

It's best that he can explode into a guild by himself!

Simple and rude, just use the quantity A to go up.

This problem is still easy to solve, but other problems are not so easy to solve.

For example... manpower.

That's right, Duanmu Huai found that in his own fleet, there were too few people who could command the battle.

Like this fight against the Reapers, I was busy almost the whole time, and other people couldn't help me at all except cheering me on the side... Of course, I can't blame them for this. They are good at magic combat, but commanding a fleet is another matter.

As for the rest... Feilin and Audrey, Lorena can't count on them, let alone Bambi and Kula, even if they want, Duanmuhuai will not dare to hand over the command of the fleet In the hands of these little hairy heads.

Looking at it this way, it seems that my subordinates are all soldiers, and there are no generals at all!

It’s right to think about it carefully. After all, Duanmu Huai is a lone wolf in the game. Even if he is hired by the guild, he is also a pioneer. . So Duanmuhuai has never considered this issue, but now it seems that he has to consider this issue.

So Duanmuhuai called everyone... The three cobblers are like Zhuge Liang, and they should have some good ideas.

"Huh? There seems to be no similar people here in Manalia..."

"Mr. Duanmu wants staff officers and generals, it's hard to find such people..."

"Why don't you ask Mr. Duanmu how many people the Star Alliance wants? There should be quite a few people on the Star Alliance who are good at commanding fleets."

"Is that the fleet of the Tribunal or the fleet of the Star Alliance? How can loyalty be guaranteed?"

Although Ann, Guleya and the others were not good at commanding battles, as royals, they immediately noticed the biggest problem.

That's right, loyalty.

The army is the most powerful pillar, and as a person who commands the army, loyalty must be the most important. This is also the reason why the emperors of all dynasties often put talented people aside, and instead chose some mediocre people as generals to command the army. After all, for many rulers, talent is the second priority, and loyalty is the first.

If you are talented but not loyal, wouldn't you just wait to be added in a yellow robe?

Especially a talented and ambitious general, who would dare to hand over the army without meeting an equally talented and ambitious emperor who can control him?

Although the Inquisition is not a country, but as the vanguard against aliens, heresies and demons, their requirements in this regard are no less than those of the emperor. If you can't agree with the philosophy and methods of the Inquisition, then you won't join. In this case, it is indeed very difficult to find a suitable one.

But at this time, Ling Nu raised her hand with a smile.

"Then, do you want to look for it in the NCO's academy?"

"Commissioned officer school?"

"That's right. In our world, there is a non-commissioned officer academy that specializes in training military officers. Among the students there, there may be suitable talents."

"Your world... the level is somewhat lower."

This is also the reason why Duanmuhuai never thought of finding officers from places like Manaria and Skyrim Province. After all, the tactics they learn are all on the plane, but space warfare is a 360-degree sphere. It’s not good to hear that a fleet can go around from the bottom to the back and explode your ass, and in the universe, it is extremely difficult to distinguish between up and down, left, right, and ordinary generals will be confused just by encountering the enemy...

"Hey? But what you want, my lord, is not an ordinary general. If it's that kind of genius, you won't be able to meow o(=∩ω∩=)"

"It seems reasonable for you to say that."

Hearing what Ling Nu said, Duanmu Huai also felt that it made sense. Indeed, what's the use of ordinary generals in his court, if he wants that kind of genius, and since he is a genius, it must be regardless of the era. All can bear fruit.

"Wait a moment."

Duanmu Huai's speed was also very fast. After making a decision, he immediately gave Lumière an order. After a while, Duanmu Huai returned to the room with a helmet and handed it to Ling Nu.

"Woo meow? This is??"

"A VR tactical simulator, used by the Star Alliance. I asked Lumière to help me adjust the parameters and changed it to the version of the Tribunal. You can use this to find someone, and if you see something suitable, let him test it. Then just tell me who passes the test."

Although it is said to be a selection, Duanmuhuai did not relax the selection criteria. He changed the VR tactical simulator originally used by the Star Alliance into two parts. The first part is a tutorial, which is to let players understand the rules of space warfare. The opponent is swarm.

The second part is actual combat. Players must lead an Inquisition army and simulate what to do if a tyranid swarm invades a galaxy.

That's right, this is equivalent to the difficulty of hell after the first level of the tutorial.

After all, there is only one pass. And Duanmu Huai wanted to see, in this case, who would last the longest!

After all, the battle of the Inquisition Chamber itself is almost endless, and it cannot be done without a big heart of perseverance.

"Woo meow, I understand, don't worry, leave it to Bell Girl!"

It has to be said that, as a top ninja, Ling Nu's mobility is really fast. After only one week, she successfully brought back the data to Duan Muhuai.

As for the evaluation...

"Many people say it's too difficult."

"It's normal. It's not difficult. How can we see their strength?"

As Duanmu Huai spoke, he took back the helmet and opened the data.

Well, most of the people just supported for more than ten minutes before dying, which is normal, after all, the levels are different, and Duanmuhuai didn't count on it... But the first place is an exaggeration.

"Five hours? Have you successfully passed the level? Are you kidding me?"

Looking at the record in front of him, Duanmuhuai was taken aback. You must know that this is a nightmare difficulty. Even Duanmuhuai himself is not sure if he can win this fight. How did the other party do it?

With curiosity, Duanmu Huai opened the game recording video and started watching it.

At the very beginning of the battle, the commander didn't get any information. He only knew that there was an unknown alien invasion of the galaxy, and the commander needed to investigate the situation. Afterwards, the commander was left to his own free will. In the records that Duanmuhuai read before, most of the people dispatched scouting teams at the first time, and then were wiped out by the swarm, and then they either chose to divide their troops around to engage in guerrilla warfare, or stick to the planet.

But in fact, both of these are quite normal, but they are useless methods to deal with Zerg. After all, Zerg can explode troops on the spot. The insect swarm that exceeded his expectations was immediately swept away by the opponent.

However, the commander's reaction was very strange. He also sent scouts, but not just one wave, but four waves in a row—of course, the first wave of scouts was eliminated, but at the same time, the other party also sent out scouts from the subsequent three waves. The general information of the swarm was obtained there. Then, the opponent led the main fleet and rushed directly to the battlefield.

"Isn't this sending you to death?"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Duanmu Huai couldn't help complaining. The commander only has one fleet. Although the swarm is the vanguard, the number is definitely not something that a fleet can handle. Once the two sides confront each other head-on, there will be casualties. heavy.

But he played for five hours? ?

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai watched curiously.

Then, a scene that made his jaw drop appeared.

I saw that the fleet did not directly enter the battlefield, but stopped far away from the swarm army, and then... opened fire directly.

"???"

Duanmu Huai watched a series of artillery fire crossing the sea of ​​stars, flying towards the army of insect swarms, and then exploding inside... also looked bewildered.

This nima is also okay?

Seeing this, Duanmuhuai somewhat understood what the other party was thinking. To put it simply... it was an attack beyond visual range.

No, this is no longer an over-the-horizon attack, it is at the level of a cruise missile.

This is actually quite normal. Generally, weapons have a difference between "effective range" and "maximum range". The so-called "effective range" refers to the exact distance that the weapon meets the expected accuracy and power requirements when shooting the predetermined target. The "maximum range" refers to the farthest distance from the bullet to the ground after flying out of the muzzle. The accuracy is not important, and the power is not important, just look at the distance.

Of course, there is no such thing as precision at all, and it counts wherever you hit.

However, in the universe, this is another matter.

As we all know, the universe is a vacuum environment with almost zero resistance. Once launched, it will fly forward all the time. Of course, if it was an energy attack, it would disappear as the energy itself was exhausted. But if it's a cannonball or something, it'll keep flying and flying... Either it hits some unlucky celestial body, or it doesn't know where to go.

So strictly speaking, as long as you predict the position and speed of the opponent, you can indeed launch an attack in this way. Just like a submarine predicts the speed and route of a battleship, it can also directly bombard it with a torpedo, and then it will be too late when the other party finds out.

The principle is very simple, but in fact, this trick is not easy to use on the actual battlefield.

The reason is also very simple.

The universe is too big......

Even if it is a galaxy, if you put 10,000 warships in it, that would be a drop in the ocean. Trying to use this method to attack beyond visual range is as difficult as hitting a fly five kilometers away with a pistol without aiming. It is simply a dream. Not to mention that the universe is not in the sea. People can hide wherever they want, up, down, left, and right. As long as you miss the first wave of attacks, it is tantamount to directly exposing your position to the other party.

Players have also tried this method, and later said that it is not for people to play at all, so they gave up.

But right now, someone actually fights in this way?

Sure enough, although the first wave of attack hit the swarm, the swarm also locked on the position of the attacker. Soon, a large number of worms moved forward quickly, as if a huge monster stretched out its huge tentacles, trying to grab the attacker. Live like prey hidden in the dark depths.

And almost at the same time, Duanmuhuai reacted immediately when he saw the fleet, and saw them backing up while continuing to fire --- what Duanmuhuai didn't expect was that they hit almost every time they fired!

how did you do that?

You must know that when the fleet launched an attack, the swarm was still outside their field of vision. Most people would only feel that the fleet was consuming ammunition meaninglessly. However, in fact, every attack of the opponent accurately hits the place where the number of insect swarm troops is the most dense and concentrated.

Was it through scout troops?

Of course, Duanmu Huai also saw that the other three scout troops did not withdraw from the battlefield, but kept monitoring the swarm army from a distance. If this method is used to calculate the position and coordinates of the swarm troops, as well as the speed and predetermined trajectory, it is indeed possible to launch an attack in advance—but such a thing is impossible for Duanmuhuai.

Because it requires a lot of calculations, and his brain will crash as long as it exceeds four arithmetic operations.

As for the high calculus, it will be returned to the school after graduation.

"No wonder you can play for five hours."

Duanmu Huai watched the whole process fast forward, and shook his head helplessly. The opponent's tactic is very clear, which is to use this kind of beyond visual range to attack the kites of the swarm to delay time, and then evacuate the civilians on other planets as much as possible. When the swarms attack the planet for "replenishment on the spot", they will directly send an extinction order to them, insist on adopting the strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, slowly and bit by bit wear away most of the vitality of the swarm, and then attack the core of the swarm The battleship launches an attack, breaks the defenses in one fell swoop, and then knocks them out.

The whole process can be described as smooth and smooth, and it was done in one go. In the first four hours, almost the fleet was grinding blood, just like a level 1 player challenged the final boss. Maybe I only lose 1 drop of blood when I hit you, but as long as you can't hit me, I can kill you. Has been killing you.

In the last half an hour, when the vanguard of the Zerg Swarm was almost exhausted by this tactic, the retreating fleet suddenly accelerated, tore through the opponent's dilapidated defense net, and then rushed directly into the battlefield, catching the Zerg The mothership was bombed indiscriminately and won in the end.

From the combat level, it can be described as impeccable. Of course, the only flaw is that the opponent did not consider the existence of chicken thieves when setting up the evacuation, resulting in most of the evacuated transport ships being hacked by chicken thieves, which also caused a certain degree of loss to the fleet... But overall Considering that this is the opponent's first battle with the Tyranid swarm, it's really good to be able to fight this.

"Well, it's pretty good."

After watching the process, Duanmuhuai nodded in satisfaction. The opponent's whimsy was second to none. What attracted Duanmuhuai's attention the most was the commander's ability to control several fleets at the same time—you must know that Duanmuhuai initially only gave He assigned a fleet to him, and then the commander first divided the fleet into four formations of scouts, and then divided the transport ships into three formations to go to the planet for evacuation at the same time. The direction and position, and seize the favorable opportunity to counterattack... This is exactly what Duanmuhuai needs.

"That's him, where is this person's information?"

"Here, her name is Ecote Marius, and she is the head of the Non-commissioned Officer Academy."

"It's actually a woman? Forget it, this question is not important, but the chief...it's not easy to handle, is she willing to come?"

"I think it should be fine, because she was born as a commoner, so she has been bullied in the non-commissioned officer academy. In fact, she is now heavily in debt. I heard that she borrowed usury to pay back her tuition, and she still has no money..."

"Huh? I just can't figure out what kind of brain circuit this is."

Hearing Ling Nu's report, Duanmu Huai couldn't help being taken aback. To be honest, every time he sees similar scenes in novels, animations and games, he always finds it inconceivable. You said that you were bullied because of your introverted personality, cowardice and bad grades, but it is unbelievable that you would be bullied as a top student. Covered by the teacher, whoever dares to find trouble with those three-good students will be punished by the teacher and cry for his father and mother.

Or are times changing? Now the teacher doesn't even take care of the top students and the head of the academy? So what do you teachers do? Do you want to eat dry rice?

"Also, according to Suzume's investigation, her rank of strategist is also the highest among all human beings, but it's LV2."

"Are you serious?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai couldn't sit still. Of course he knew that people in Ling Nu's world could see their own level cap and talent skills. Among the people Duanmuhuai knew, one of the people with the strongest ability to command and fight was Uluze, a girl from Seth Kingdom who used to be in a wheelchair. Her military division level was only LV1.

However, this Aikot, who was born as a commoner, has a military division level of LV2?

You must know that skill LV3 is the highest limit, and many people in that world don't even reach LV1.

Judging from this point of view, Aikot is indeed worthy of the title of a genius military division.

"Bring her here immediately...forget it, I'll go directly to her!"

Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai couldn't sit still anymore.
