Chapter 844: Mine War
Thanks to the systematic and huge industrial production capacity, after Emperor Shakti's order was issued, the two types of mines he requested were produced in small batches in just a few hours, and then directly transmitted to Emperor Shakti's ship through the teleportation array.
Since the teleportation arrays on the ship are only miniature, they can only transport a few people or one or two tons of things at a time, so there is no way to transport a large number of materials and personnel, and can only send dozens of samples.
But it was enough for experiments, and Emperor Shi immediately ordered them to be placed.
After a few more hours, the place where the mines were bought was already covered by the army of Void creatures on the march.
This time, they didn't find any of them, and they were blown up by timed and remote-controlled mines.
Along with dozens of small mushroom clouds that continued to rise, more than a dozen or 20 void creatures were blown into the sky at that time, and the immortals basically lost their combat effectiveness, but the remaining mines all missed, only harming the surrounding void creatures, and the impact was very small.
But in any case, this experiment was considered a success, and Emperor Shi Tian and the others were very happy.
Scott immediately said excitedly to Emperor Shitian: "It's such a mine, produce more and blow up these bastards." ”
But Emperor Shi Tian shook his head and said, "Just one experiment can't prove anything, at least three or five experiments must be carried out, if the other party has nothing to do every time, then it means that these two kinds of mines are worth mass production, otherwise it is a waste of production capacity." ”
Scott is not stupid, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that what people said made sense, so he immediately nodded in agreement.
And what happened next also proves that Emperor Shi Tian is far-sighted.
After the second batch of timed and remotely controlled mines were laid, the results had no effect at all. When they got close to the army, they were accurately found, and then some void creatures with long tentacles came out, grabbed these mines from the ground, and then forcibly crushed them with huge tentacles.
The metal shell of the cast iron could not resist the terrifying tentacles of the void creatures, and it easily shattered, and the magic crystal explosives inside were scattered everywhere, so that they could no longer be detonated.
Of all the dozens of mines, none of them escaped the fate of being found, and they did not cause any damage to the void creatures anyway.
Seeing this scene, both Emperor Shi Tian and Scott immediately frowned.
Emperor Shi Tian immediately looked at the legendary mage next to him and asked, "Can they find mines through Void Fluctuations?"
"In principle, it should be possible, after all, the hardness of the mine is too great, and it is different from the surrounding soil and rocks, and when it is swept by the void energy, there will be different fluctuations, and it is easy to be detected. The legendary mage explained.
When Scott heard this, he immediately said with annoyance: "I didn't expect these damn guys to have such a hand, it's bad now." If we can't hurt them, it's still secondary, and the most important thing is that we can't delay time. If the defensive buildings in the rear can't be completed, I'm afraid it will be really difficult to stop these 7 million troops, right?"
"The chances of blocking are less than 30 percent. Emperor Shi Tian frowned and said: "No, no matter what, we have to slow down their forward speed, pass the order, continue to lay mines, and increase the density to 1 for 100 meters." ”
With Emperor Shakti's order, the flying module landed again, and many earth monks began to lay mines in the vast land.
Seeing this, Scott couldn't help frowning and said, "Since you know that it has no effect, why do you still throw these mines in vain? Although these things are not very valuable, if they are tens of millions, they are also a huge amount of money, right?"
"Again, in order to delay time!" Emperor Shi Tian sneered: "Even if they know that there are mines, what if they don't have to remove them one by one? ”
"Really?" Scott was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "It seems that this is really the case, dozens of mines will be discharged, and the Void creatures in the front row will have to slow down and wait for the follow-up Void Creatures to clear the mines before resuming their marching speed." ”
"Herein lies the problem, the void creatures in front of them that are used as radars can easily find mines, but they don't have long tentacles suitable for mine clearance. Emperor Shakti smiled and said, "So they have to let the void creatures behind clear the mines before they can continue to march." There is inevitably a little delay in between, and if we increase the number of mines dramatically, then they will not be delayed at all. ”
"That's the truth, but if you use mines to delay time. Scott smiled wryly and said, "I'm afraid the expenses will become very large." ”
"Don't worry!" Emperor Shi Tian said with a wicked smile: "According to our agreement, consumables such as mines are all reimbursed by you. ”
"Damn!" Scott suddenly laughed and said, "I said, why are you so generous, dare to spend our money?"
"Hehe!" Emperor Shi Tian said indifferently, "You can also disagree!"
"Hmph, do I have the guts?" Scott glanced at Emperor Shitian, and then said helplessly: "If the Demon Castle can't be defended in order to save a few mines, then my fate will definitely be extremely miserable." Anyway, these things are not mine, and naturally there will be reimbursement from the big guy behind, so why should we save him? You can use it, use it to death, no matter how much I will reimburse, as long as you can keep this demon castle. ”
"Alas!" Emperor Shi Tian sighed and said, "Do your best!"
After speaking, Emperor Shi Tian gave the rear an order to produce and transport mines in large quantities, and this time the consumption of mines is likely to reach tens of millions, and the stocks are not enough.
Fortunately, this thing is simple to manufacture, and Emperor Shi Tian has a terrifying production scale in his hands, so he can quickly replenish the quantity.
At this time, Scott asked with some concern: "You have always been invincible, why are you so unconfident this time?"
"In the past, when we were fighting, it was called knowing ourselves and knowing our opponents, and then we were fully prepared, and it was basically impossible to lose, of course, I was full of confidence. Emperor Shi Tian frowned and said: "But this time is different, the void creatures themselves are strong to death, this time there are so many of them, and the result is that they suddenly increase their wisdom." Judging from the situation of the other party cracking my minefield in a short period of time, the leader of this Void Creature Legion is definitely a clever commander no less than Alexander. Strength, numbers, wisdom, they have everything, do you still think this battle is easy to fight?"
"Oops!" Scott immediately said anxiously: "Since the situation is so critical, don't hide and choke, and quickly transfer the real elite troops." ”
"What do you mean?" Emperor Shi said very aggrievedly: "Aren't I the elite of tuning this time?"
"Don't really take us for fools. Scott immediately said solemnly: "We have long seen that although there are many people you have brought, they are basically new recruits, and there are only a small number of grassroots veteran officers mixed in, so you were training last time." Even the formed Iron Wolf has not been dispatched, and you clearly still have reservations. ”
After all, Scott is a talent in the Titan Protoss, and some small tricks on the surface can't hide from him.
Seeing this, Emperor Shi Tian could only explain: "Anyway, the last group of fools, the newly trained recruits are almost enough. The Iron Wolf is the elite of my command, and when I helped you last time, I lost a lot, so I didn't bring it this time. ”
"Now it's a critical time, I hope you can focus on the overall situation and send more Iron Warrior Wolves over to support. Scott hurriedly said: "I can compensate for any loss." ”
"But~" Emperor Shi Tian frowned and said: "Those recruits, I don't feel sorry for them when they die, because they can be bought everywhere, at most they are just a few months of training." But the steel wolf is different, this thing is not only produced in small quantities, but also has to go through a long time of training before it can be combined into a thirty-three day mighty dragon sword formation, so far, the steel wolf in my hands that has reached this level is not even 2 million. If there are heavy losses here, at least for a few years. ”
"Just stay farther away and you can protect it. Scott hurriedly said, "Anyway, they're all long-range attacks, just hide behind." ”
"Their range is only 1,800 meters, which is about the same as that of a gold-level void creature, or even a little less. Emperor Shi Tian smiled helplessly: "If this is to show the mighty Divine Dragon Sword Formation on the battlefield, it will be a live target at all, and I am afraid that it will be killed by those gold-level void creatures with powerful space spells at the first time." ”
"Then I don't care. Scott shrugged and said, "Anyway, you have to go all out in this battle, and the deposit is all collected, you can't return it, right?"
"It's too late to go back!" Emperor Shi Tian smiled bitterly: "The deposit has been spent, and there is no way to return it." ”
"So, you've got to figure out how to get this out. Scott said lightly: "Don't forget, there are big guys from the gods and demons watching behind." ”
This sentence is obviously a threat, and it is also a very terrible threat, offending the gods and demons at the same time, for people at the level of Emperor Shitian, it is basically equivalent to death.
If they are really forced to be in a hurry, even if the gods are unwilling to take action in person, they can also use the hands of the demons and evil gods to kill Emperor Shitian, and it is a big deal that they will not be able to save them at that time.
Emperor Shi Tian is well aware of the risks, for the sake of the Void Mother Nest, the big guys of the gods and demons are already anxious, and provoking them at this time is definitely an act of looking for death.
So, Emperor Shi Tian could only nod and say in the end: "Okay, okay, I will use all my skills, even if I fight to the last soldier, I must protect this demon castle." ”
"That's pretty much it!" Scott nodded with satisfaction.
