In an instant, the duel between the great magicians who might have taken a long time and waited for one side to exhaust the magic aura they had accumulated before they could determine the winner came to an end.

Frentzberg looked at his two burned palms, and a wry smile of disappointment appeared on his face: "Even with the highest level of petrification magic, there is no guarantee that the mortal body can withstand such an impact...... It's a pity, it's a pity. ”

The pain in the palm of his hand that had lost the magic began to take hold, and Frentzberg's face turned pale. He leaned against the still cold cannon and looked thoughtfully at his palm.

What kind of person could come up with such a terrible principle? Mages do not lack the means of long-range attacks, and even crush mortals with their attack distance all the time. But the kind of attack that can change the pattern of attack in front of him has never been discovered.

Making something that can explode is actually very simple for magicians, and alchemists can also make some explosives - but those explosives can only be released by throwing and other means, and the attack distance is of course pitiful.

This kind of thing called a cannon is different, it actually does the opposite, and even uses the instantaneous expansion of the explosion to propel the object to fly at a very high speed. Using speed to kill people is something that was never thought of before.

"Teacher......" The apprentice Wilhelm, who had managed to get up from the ground, staggered to Frenzberg's side, clutching his chest and gasping. He thought he was dead just now, but now he waited for a twist and turn.

The great magician, who had just been invincible and seemed unstoppable, was lying on the ground like minced meat at this moment, without a little breath. The Archmage of Leyson is dead, and he was killed by a single move......

The impact of this picture is too strong, and William still needs to digest it well. But before he could digest the shock in his heart, the picture became even more bloody.

Blood began to ooze through the mung bean-sized wounds, pooling together before cooling, pouring out the white, clawed mage's robes. Then, the pale blue blood began to spread across the mirror-smooth marble floor, making it disgusting to look at.

You know, fire magic has always been the most cost-effective magic, it is powerful, fast to prepare, and has the longest attack distance, which is the magic that magicians like to use the most.

The rest of the magic types are more swordsmanlike: lightning magic has the fastest attack speed, but it takes the longest preparation time and is the most difficult to cast; Wind magic weakens quickly as the distance from the body increases, so it is not suitable for long-range combat......

As for water magic, the magic aura consumed is too high, and it belongs to the "borrowing magic" that communicates with nature, and it is the most subtle and least cost-effective magic method, and few magicians are willing to specialize in it.

Therefore, it is rare for magicians to bleed to death when dueling, and magicians are rarely able to see each other's blood: because of the relationship between cultivating the magical aura, their blood is obviously different from the blood of mortals, emitting a faint blue light.

William, who saw the blood, began to feel his stomach churn again: magicians are elegant beings, they are all civilized people who are not used to seeing blood, so by chance seeing so much blood spread on the ground, William has an urge to vomit.

People are like that, and even if a magician might use magic to slaughter hundreds of mortals in a single war, they would not see blood—especially not from their fellow soldiers.

"I'm going to take a trip...... Iran Hill. Frenzberg walked back to his desk, took out a bottle of potion from the drawer, poured it on the palms of his wounded hands, and asked one by one: "Would you like to come with me?" ”

"There, can you learn this new magic?" William finally suppressed the urge to retch and asked.

"yes, I'm going to check it out and see what's interesting there." Frenzberg nodded: "You have a good talent and a good age, go there, maybe you can inherit my mantle." ”

"I'm willing to go! I would like to go with you! William felt that it was not intolerable to inherit the mantle of Frentzberg, even if it was to live in the realm of mortals for a year.

Frenzberg continued to nod, then walked with some difficulty and walked in the direction of the door: "Come with me!" There's nothing left to be nostalgic about here! The future of the Holy Demon Empire is not here, and neither is our future. ”

"Rotten, depraved, incompetent, weak......" Frenzberg muttered some ugly words as he walked down the stairs, and William knew that his teacher was describing the ancient empire, so he could only keep his head down and say nothing.

……

"This towed high-level dual-purpose artillery carriage should be deployed on both flanks of the infantry phalanx - they must ensure that the entire infantry phalanx is not threatened by the dragon, which is the first task." On one drawing, Vagron sketched out a completely new battle phalanx.

Although Chris has a civilized technology tree, he has countless generals' understanding and writings on warfare, and he also has countless valuable information summaries: but he can't do it to change and develop this knowledge.

To put it bluntly, he is a "cheater" who carries plagiarism, and he can't combine it to create this kind of thing out of nothing. For example, in his knowledge base, there is definitely no such paper or tactical arrangement as "how the ground forces defend against the fire dragon".

"In addition to each infantry phalanx, that is, a battalion of 300 gunners, 4 more anti-aircraft guns? How do you count the extra soldiers? Is it counted in this battalion, or is it placed in the regimental troops? Wilkes raised his own questions.

Hearing this, Chris also had to compromise and said: "In view of the special nature of the air defense force, I think it should be deployed in a battalion-level unit so that this force can fight and defend independently. ”

"If each battalion is expanded, the original number will definitely not work, and one battalion will be expanded to 500 people...... The artillery of the regiment was strengthened a little more. ”

"A battalion of 500 men, 300 grenadiers, 40 machine gun shooters, ready to be equipped with new machine guns as infantry automatic fire pillars; Counting more than 60 anti-aircraft gunners and apprentices, there are more than 400 people in total, and the rest can be used as supplementary soldiers to manage the baggage. Wagron knew the current battalion level inside out, and said.

"The regimental artillery should also be expanded, 400 men with 20 artillery pieces, and almost 4 anti-aircraft guns will be needed to cover it - this will have to be expanded by about 60 people. Coupled with the original regimental headquarters personnel and logistics baggage personnel, a regiment will approach the level of 2,000 people. In the same way, Bourjos, who was already acquainted, also said.

"Actually, I think in this case, it would be more appropriate to set up a regiment into five battalions and directly expand it to 2,500 people." Chris thinks that the kind of large-scale troops of the US military in later generations have better independent combat capability and higher combat effectiveness.

After all, he is determined to use the tactics of ammunition dumping weapons in the future, and in the face of opponents such as magicians and dragon knights, he does not dare to use any tactics or anything like that to risk - so, of course, he feels that the tactical system of the US military is the most worthy of his learning.

The tactical establishment of 5 battalions can preset the formation of baggage battalions for these infantry regiments, and it can also be equipped with armored vehicles and even tanks later - in short, the more people, the more guaranteed the combat effectiveness of the regiment.

"In that case, there will be more than 500 soldiers in each battalion, and our frontal front will be stretched even wider...... Four anti-aircraft guns, can stabilize the defense line of the entire battalion? Wagron questioned himself.

Chris nodded, he also felt that if the battle line was opened, the defense area of a battalion would be larger, and the four anti-aircraft guns would have to deal with air targets, and possibly at the same time against ground targets, and the pressure would be very high.

"Then add 4 more anti-aircraft guns! It is better to expand the number of battalions than to ensure the actual combat capability of the troops! Just like the armies of the Mortal Empire in the past, no matter how many people there are, they are actually useless in front of the Magic Empire. "Chris gives his general approach.

He also knew that if he said this sentence, the originally vigorous army expansion movement might suddenly slow down significantly.

Originally, Modryel formed the 4th Regiment in Hanhai, Coria had been ordered to form the 5th Regiment in Mayne, and the 3rd Regiment, which was originally scattered throughout the country, had now been assembled and handed over to Wilkes for expansion. At the same time, the 6 regiment was ordered to be formed in North County, under the command of Bourgeos.

Even Lawrnes, who had the title of commander of the navy, was ordered to form a 1st Marine Regiment and stationed it in Ferry City.

Then, on the basis of these unit number regiments, Chris formed a more advanced divisional command, with the unit commander acting as the division commander, while the expansion of the double-digit infantry regiment began.

These double-digit infantry regiments were all eliminated from the 1st regiment, and their combat effectiveness was not high, and they were only formed as a supplement and reserve: most of them were still in a cold weapon state, numbered 11 to 16, plus 12 regiments of the Marine Corps.

It was also from this moment that the establishment of the troops of Irlanhill was fixed: future expansions were to be named according to this method.

At the same time, Chris's political department in charge of the army, the "Military Affairs Department", can ensure that the troops are always firmly in Chris's hands, and ensure the absolute ideological unity of Alan Hill's troops.

Despite the frantic expansion, Iran Hill did not complete the grand expansion of 25 regiments: they now have only 14 regiments, and 8 are substandard "second-line garrison regiments". ”
