Chapter 589: Countermeasures

Swing your sword as fast as you can, then be intercepted by your opponent at an even faster speed.

The dagger was firmly jammed by the opponent's short knife, and the sawtooth jammed the assassin's leader's dagger so that it could not move, and no matter how much it struggled, it was useless.

The next moment, the wrist of the intelligence team leader was slightly folded downward, and the sophisticated equipment from the abyss turned into a pile of broken copper and iron.

After a brief encounter, the outnumbered assassins retreated in a hurry after leaving behind half of the corpses of the opposing party.

A folding short bow with auto-aim and elemental fire, a double-barreled short-handled firearm that fires two projectiles at the same time, and a long-handled gun with a more dynamic style, the Exotic weapon that is very different from your own style has almost instantly defeated the assassination team.

The process of this confrontation was completely under the supervision of Tyndaros, and the eyeline that permeated the entire Land of Hope kept Night's hands firmly in his hands, and the positions of all the Surdua advance teams, and the battle with them was also carried out at Night's behest.

The Monsutter assassins were almost defeated by their powers, and they could only be won if they were more than five times as numerous as the opponent and had the priests to follow, and only a crushing victory.

The situation of the Order's armament is better, although it is also won by numbers, but the members of the Dark Temple can fight back and forth with this group of spies from Surduwa, but unfortunately, this situation only appears to the elite of the Temple.

In terms of weapons, the Surdua had an absolute advantage.

After the alchemist's improvement, I don't know how many generations of the version it has been updated, the gunpowder has long been quenched to be extremely pure, and it can remain relatively stable when stored in the magazine, but the power has also increased several times from the beginning to the present.

The power of the double-barreled short-handled gun is equivalent to the strengthened [Fire Bullet Technique], and it is two at a time, and it is good to fill it once after four consecutive selections, and it only takes 3 seconds for a well-trained veteran to complete the loading and unloading of the double magazine of gunpowder and projectiles.

The power of the long-handled firebolt is equivalent to the [Burst Fireball] of the three rings, and it must be reloaded every time it is designed, and the time is at least about 10 seconds.

In addition to these, these spies also carry a lot of solidified explosives, and the power can reach the level of four-ring or five-ring spells, which is quite terrifying.

As a user of the weapons, the Intelligence, which is fully staffed, is able to use these weapons to the fullest.

For long-range sniping, medium-range design, melee use, handover, liaison use, self-explosion use...... Under the various classifications, the destructive power of military action is far beyond what classical civilization could have imagined.

In addition to the regular staffing, Nightshade also noticed that two special operations teams had clockwork golems on them.

It is a miniature puppet encased in an iron box, no more than 30 cm in size, but the box itself is the work of an alchemist, and after the puppet is wound, the components of the box will quickly reassemble on the puppet's body.

It only takes a few seconds, and out of the open box will be a clockwork golem the size of an adult, with a level of 22~27, an extremely hard texture, and a powerful magic immunity effect.

After winding, the golem can not only instantly transform into a killing machine on the battlefield, but can also be used as a shield, if more than two golems meet, it can be disintegrated and recombined to form a huge golem, and the level skyrockets to level 30.

There are sixteen such boxes, and at least two of the intelligence groups found today carry them as hole cards.

……

These strange weapons are the result of unexpected, but calculating.

Through the information collected from the Jain continent, the distribution of population, ethnicity, resources, environmental changes, social systems, cultural atmospheres, architectural styles, and various civil and military alchemy products, Cangye analyzes this civilization in an all-round way.

The Surdua Mechanical Empire does not belong to any of the civilizations that the night has recognized, it is not pure technology, nor is it pure mystery, but it is also not a magical civilization that combines technology and mystery.

With alchemists as the main profession, a lot of scientific and technological knowledge is explained by a minimum of occultism, and although there are many parts of the magic change, in the end, a steam civilization that may only exist in the illusion is born.

This style of civilization has a romance that regular steam civilizations don't have, but it's still essentially the same.

Driven by industrial civilization, machinery, greed, high speed, insensitivity, impetuousness, vulgarity, rhetoric, and wanton expansion...... You can put any label on your body.

All the military facilities of the Surdua Mechanical Empire, which has a strong and aggressive desire, have long been ready for war, and a large number of weapons with exaggerated and aesthetic coexistences have been developed.

These are like spell scrolls from the Iliad, and it's hard to imagine that they also have an assembly line that can be produced quickly.

Therefore, it can be said that this is not an equal battle, one side is the starting point of extraordinary civilization, and the other side is the pinnacle of classical civilization, both of which are deformed products of the times, and the huge gap between them cannot be made up by equipping them with the same weapons.

This chasm-like gap is productivity.

Cangye has grasped the root cause in a short period of time, but being able to see the problem clearly does not mean that it can solve the problem.

There is a more than 60% chance that it would take Cangye 30 years to transform the entire Monsut people from a classical civilization to a steam civilization or a mystical civilization of the same size.

However, time does not allow it, and the night must face the aggressive Surdua right away.

Seeking a short-term quick fix, helpless, we must also return to the equipment.

Whether it is the Order's armament, the Monsut Federation, or even the Black Fire Orcs, they are still fighting in the way of the Cold Weapon Age, and in the face of high-powered muskets and more powerful alchemy weapons, in order to be able to fight against them, they need to seek the support of magic under the same specifications.

Nightshade is also a spellcaster, giving orders to the assassination team to snatch valuable experimental samples from the spies at all costs.

After paying nearly 7:1 in battle damage, several well-preserved firearms were safely placed on the test bench in the night.

Slender white fingers quickly dismantled the knick-knacks, and every piece was placed safely, even numbered.

Under the superbrain memory, Cangye has long since completed many recombinations, and each reorganization means that another part has been analyzed.

In less than half a day, all the firearms were thoroughly studied by Cangye.

At the same time, the FFI's espionage activities were limited by a steady stream of assassination attacks, but they eventually reached their destination.

A new city rises above the ruins of the old.
