Start with Island Lord

Medasilin.

The Lord of Glory almost jumped up on the spot.

"Waste~~ What a bunch of waste!"

Six people can't beat one person, what Nawat Mage, what Son of Dritan, all a bunch of waste!

It seems that the legendary mage's beheading tactics can't be used, so we can only decide who is better on the battlefield.

He immediately found his granddaughter Zhuoya.

"Let the First Fleet of Glory enter the Gilded Strait and cut off all trade routes between Aaron and Weilan. If we encounter the Weilan Fleet, teach them a lesson!"

This time, Zhuoya didn't listen completely.

She carefully suggested: "Grandfather, the intelligence says that the Weilan Fleet has some very sharp new weapons, and we don't know the performance of their weapons."

"I suggest that we use the vanguard to explore the strength of the Weilan Fleet first. After finding out the intelligence, we will formulate the next tactic."

The Lord of Glory also felt that he was impulsive before, and thought that what his granddaughter said made sense, but he had a fire in his heart and had to vent it.

"Why? We invest so much money in weapons research and development every year. Our fleet has more new weapons than Weilan. Shouldn't Weilan be afraid of us?"

Zhuoya thought to herself: "What are you talking about? We are the invaders. They have to fight whether they are afraid or not. Are they going to surrender directly?"

One is going to a distant place to find trouble, and the other is defending their country. The morale of the soldiers is very different.

But of course she couldn't say this, otherwise her grandfather would definitely take advantage of the situation and transfer his anger to her.

So she carefully explained: "Grandfather, just try to reduce the losses as much as possible. After all, the new warships and new weapons are very expensive and slow to build."

The Lord of Light waved his hand impatiently.

"Okay, okay, no matter what method you use, you must stop Duke Weilan from entering Aaron!"

Zhuoya also wanted to have a fight with Weilan's fleet to find out what new things the other party had developed, so she began to prepare seriously.

She was very cautious because Weilan had an absolute advantage in legendary power.

Although the legendary power is not invincible when facing the army, it should never be underestimated.

Any misjudgment may allow the opponent to seize the opportunity and cause a major blow to the Glorious Fleet.

While preparing, she secretly contacted Duke Weilan through the secret channel with Irene.

If you can fight, you must fight.

Whether it is the will of your grandfather or the strategy of the Glorious Empire, you must try your best to prevent the unification of the Natural Alliance.

But you must not be confused and fight like a farmer in the countryside.

So, she has to contact the other party and control the situation.

Lest you fall into the quagmire and be exploited by the Holy Elf Empire.

When receiving the news from Queen Zhuoya, Duke Rosen immediately passed the relevant information to Rosen's body far away in Aaron through the faith channel.

After reading the news, Rosen secretly rejoiced in his heart.

'Fortunately, there is the queen as a buffer, otherwise I really have to fight with the Glorious Empire. '

Once the war starts, it can't be stopped.

But because of the huge gap in national strength between the two sides, Rosen was not sure of winning.

Perhaps his weapons were more advanced than those of the Glorious Empire, but his weapons production capacity was far inferior to that of the other side.

Even if the casualty ratio on the battlefield was 1:5, it would be a victory in tactics, but a failure in strategy.

Whether from the strategic height of the entire human race or the strategic height of the Natural Alliance, it was a failure.

For the human race, the fierce internal consumption between the two countries benefited the elves and demons.

For the Natural Alliance, the battlefield was within the alliance, and no matter how it fought, the alliance would suffer.

Therefore, at this time point, if it is possible not to fight, then don't fight.

After careful consideration, he sent back a message.

"I, Weilan, have recently made a good thing. I will show you a trick in the air."

"If you can catch it, then fight. If you think my thing is a bit powerful and you are not sure to catch it, then withdraw the Glorious Fleet and let me take over Aaron."

"How about it?"

Soon, the Queen replied: "Show it to me."

Then show it.

Duke Rosen wrote a new weapon test plan called "Operation Sword". After the plan was delegated to higher levels, it arrived at the Weilan Navy Department that afternoon.

The Navy Department currently has three fleets, each of which has 35 warships.

The highest commander of the first fleet is Yopp, who was born in Shire County and currently has the rank of Lieutenant General.

He looked at the test plan and grinned: "The sword that has been hidden for so long is finally going to be unsheathed."

But there is still a little regret.

Because this time the unsheathing was just a gesture in the air, and it didn't really poke the opponent.

He sent a warship and a target ship to the designated waters of the Gilded Strait.

The Gilded Strait is not wide. At about nine o'clock the next morning, the warship and the target ship arrived at the destination.

The warship was in the rear and was in a completely invisible state.

The target ship was in the front and was also in a highly invisible state, but it deliberately showed some traces for observation.

Anyone with a discerning eye knew that it was a simulation of a glorious warship.

At the same time, an observation ship from the Glorious Fleet arrived at the target ship's sea area.

The mages on the observation ship took off the unmanned rotorcraft for observation early and locked the observation target on the target ship in the distance.

The weather was fine that day, with light clouds and breeze, and the visibility on the sea was very high.

But the strange thing was that except for the target ship, the Glorious mages did not see any attacking warships on the sea.

The captain of the observation ship guessed that Weilan's attack warship should have entered a completely invisible mode, but he still didn't believe it, because this invisibility was too perfect, even more perfect than their glorious warship.

"Keep looking, we must find Weilan's warship!"

This matter is very important, even the most important, because it is related to the first move on the battlefield.

The glorious mages continued to look.

Not only did they increase the search density, but they also increased the search range.

As a result, they still did not find any trace of Weilan's warship.

If this happened on a formal battlefield, it would be a nightmare.

The captain of the observation ship immediately reported the situation to the Navy Marshal of the First Fleet of Glory.

"Marshal, we didn't see Weilan's warship on the sea. We have looked all over the nearby 30-kilometer sea area, but there is nothing. Is the intelligence wrong?"

A quarter of an hour later, the Navy Marshal's staff sent back a message: "No mistake, wait another half an hour."

The relationship between superiors and subordinates in the Glory Fleet is very strict. Since the superiors said so, the captain can only wait.

Time passed by minute by minute, and about half an hour later, the Glorious Mages finally made a discovery.

"Report to the General, there are abnormal lights and shadows on the sea surface, confirmed to be the Weilan warship, 30 degrees east by north, 80 kilometers away from the target ship."

Just after the report, there was a new discovery.

"We lost the trace of the Weilan warship again, and even did not find waves on the sea surface. We highly suspect that the warship is in a slow speed or even stopped state."

When the Black Stone warship is moving on the sea, there will definitely be waves. The faster it drives, the bigger the waves. At present, there is almost no way to completely suppress the waves.

This is the latest common sense of navigation.

Immediately afterwards, the observation mage reported again.

"A high-speed flying object was spotted in the sky, and it was moving extremely fast, with an estimated speed of 300 meters per second, almost twice the speed of our fastest aircraft."

"The target is invisible, and its specific shape cannot be seen. It is estimated that its volume is less than one-fifth of our fighter plane, and no mana fluctuations are detected. It should be an unmanned aircraft."

"It is flying over the sea, with an altitude of less than 100 meters. The sea mist blocks most of the target's power fluctuations."

"It's so fast!"

The observation captain immediately issued an order: "Judgment Array, conduct a simulated attack!"

This is the latest Judgment Array, which not only improves the problem of returning light strikes, but also greatly increases the power and locking ability.

'Chichichichichi~~~'

One after another, weak tentative beams of light continue to rush towards the high-speed flying objects on the sea surface, conducting simulated strikes.

The Glorious Mage immediately reported the interception effect.

"The target speed remains unchanged, but the flight trajectory changes suddenly from a straight line to a spiral."

"The trajectory is too complicated, the Judgment Array cannot lock, and the effective attack time is seriously insufficient, making it difficult to cause a devastating blow to the target."

The observation captain's heartbeat accelerated: "It can fly so fast and spiral forward. Aren't you afraid of disintegration?"

If this is a manned aircraft, spiraling forward at such a small angle, the pilot in the cockpit must have been directly shaken out.

The Radiant Mages did not respond and continued to report the situation at high speed.

"It went to the target ship and it exploded!"

"The power is terrible!"

"The target ship's stealth effect has failed. It is 50 meters long and the hull has been specially reinforced. It is much thicker than ordinary warships."

"A huge hole was blown out of the side of the ship. You can see that the ship's board is very thick, twice as thick as our warship, and its defense is definitely higher than our warship."

"Not good, the target ship is going to sink!"

The observation information was continuously reported, making the captain of the observation ship sweat faintly on his forehead.

He put himself in the position of the target ship and then drew a preliminary conclusion.

‘If the enemy is equipped with a large number of high-speed explosive aircraft, it will cause a devastating blow to our fleet. ’

After careful analysis, a second conclusion was drawn.

‘Once more than 3 high-speed aircraft attack our warships at the same time, they can break through our air defense force and threaten the safety of the ship. ’

‘If the number exceeds 6, the warship will almost certainly be sunk. ’

Considering the near-perfect stealth capability of the enemy warships, it is destined that the enemy will have a high probability of getting the opportunity to attack first.

At present, the Glorious First Fleet has 150 new Black Stone warships. As long as the enemy is equipped with 900 such unmanned explosive aircraft, it is possible to sink all of our warships.

If the enemy is carefully ambushed, we have almost no chance to fight back!

The more he thought about it, the faster the captain's heart beat and the more cold sweat on his forehead.

He immediately reported the intelligence he observed to the Navy Marshal, who immediately reported it to the Queen.

Later, the Queen received this military report.

She was also shocked, and immediately summoned weapon research mages from the major weapon research bureaus of the empire to discuss countermeasures.

These mages are all top talents in the empire.

When they saw the content of the report, their eyes lit up and their brows furrowed.

After half a day of discussion, they reached a preliminary conclusion.

Finally, an old mage with a calm expression reported the conclusion to Queen Zhuoya.

"Your Majesty, the new weapon demonstrated by Duke Weilan is not difficult to implement in terms of magic. If we are given a year, we should be able to come up with similar weapons."

"But at present, we have no similar weapons and no reliable countermeasures."

"I suggest not to start a war easily, otherwise our fleet will suffer great losses."

If Weilan was the only enemy, we would have to fight with heavy losses, but there was still a huge Elf Empire behind us.

Zhuo Ya asked: "What do you think the approximate cost of this unmanned explosive aircraft is?"

"It's certainly much cheaper than our fighter jets. There are three reasons for that."

"First, it is small enough. Second, it is driverless and omits the cockpit. Third, it is a disposable product and can use cheap disposable materials."

“We estimate that its manufacturing price should be one-tenth of that of our current main streamer aircraft, and it may even be less than that.”

"Considering Weilan's current magic and industrial capabilities, the opponent may have built more than 1,000 of them, and this is definitely not the opponent's strongest unmanned explosive fighter."

"In other words, in this new field of weapons, we are already significantly behind the natural alliance."

Zhuo Ya frowned slightly: "Do you have any countermeasures?"

Of course there are countermeasures.

The old mage immediately gave advice.

"First, we also need to get this kind of unmanned explosive aircraft, and we must build it as soon as possible."

"Second, we must greatly strengthen the air defense weapons on warships and land. We must not only strengthen the attack weapons, but also develop stronger detection weapons to deal with Weilan's invisibility."

"Third, I think this kind of unmanned blasting aircraft will become the mainstream attack on the battlefield in the future. The current blasting cannons are outdated and not worthy of large-scale manufacturing."

Zoya felt her heart bleed, because the explosive cannon had just been equipped, and many cannon factories had been expanded, which cost her a lot of money. Even though it had not been used much, it was at risk of being eliminated.

She was a little reluctant: "This unmanned explosive aircraft may be very powerful, but there must be a mage behind it remotely controlling it. If a targeted power storm is stimulated on the battlefield, it should be enough to render it ineffective, right?"

The old mage nodded: "It is indeed possible, but judging from its remote control distance, it is at least greater than 80 kilometers."

"This shows that the other party should not be using telekinesis, but an unknown remote control method. We currently don't know how to interfere."

"In addition, there is even a possibility that these unmanned explosive aircraft are actually a kind of semi-independent attack puppet, and there may not be a real-time remote control mage behind them."

"Attack the puppet?"

"Yes." The old mage nodded.

"There is evidence that Duke Weiland's ancestors are from the declining Iron Dragon clan. The Iron Dragon he created is a powerful battle puppet."

"There is also a lot of evidence that Duke Weiland is also extremely proficient in puppetry. Therefore, it is highly possible that he can create flying puppets."

"And if it is a semi-independent flying puppet, as long as it is shielded by spells, it will have extremely strong interference capabilities."

Zhuo Ya suddenly felt that the matter was very difficult.

The situation was obvious. Not only was the naval battle with Weilan impossible, they also had to quickly formulate countermeasures.

Considering that the aircraft's range is limited, especially the unmanned explosive aircraft, it will definitely not fly far, so there is no need to worry about this thing threatening the security of the empire for the time being.

But this is only temporary, because Duke Willan will definitely vigorously improve the new weapons.

Therefore, corresponding air defense weapons must be vigorously developed, otherwise it will be difficult to even sleep peacefully.

The emergence of this new battlefield weapon also brought a direct impact, that is, the empire was temporarily unable to interfere with the natural alliance on the battlefield.

It has become a foregone conclusion that Duke Weilan will take over Aaron.

Zhuo Ya's mood was very complicated.

Reluctance, admiration, and a hint of fear.

Because Duke Weilan had just defeated six legendary mages by himself, and even killed a level 4 demon hiding in the void!

She is also a legendary mage now, but she still has difficulty understanding the other party's methods.

I just can’t understand how the other party did it.

Of course, it’s not completely unimaginable.

She guessed that the other party might have found a way to synthesize a large-capacity legendary crystal.

But this guess is not wonderful, because the uses of legendary crystals are too great, and the empire is almost completely crushed by the natural alliance in this field.

Amidst all the mixed emotions, she reported the news to her grandfather.

"Grandpa, we can't fight at the moment."

"Trash!" Grandfather roared uncontrollably.

She didn’t know who she was scolding, but it made Zhuo Ya feel uncomfortable in her heart, and she couldn’t help but secretly said: “Grandpa, it’s really fun for you to use your mouth. All of us have broken our legs because of this.”

Of course he didn't say it out loud, he still stood there with a respectful expression.

After a long time, the Lord of Glory finally came to his senses: "It seems that we must cooperate more deeply with the Holy Elf Empire to deal with the Natural Alliance together."

Zhuo Ya was still respectful: "Yes, grandfather."

But he secretly said in his heart: "Grandpa, if you do this, we will exterminate the human race."

"I will never listen to you on this matter, and I will do my best to stop you!"

She doesn't have full control over the situation in the empire yet, so she won't launch an attack, but when the time comes, she won't have any hesitation.
