Chapter 459: Increasing Military Strength
Thankfully, the loader of the 250mm cannon was replaced by a mighty vine, otherwise a large number of orcs would have been exhausted and half dead.
At this time, Emperor Shi Tian felt the fatigue of the soldiers, and also saw the intensification of the insect tide, and knew that if he didn't show some skills, I was afraid that this time it would be bad.
So, Emperor Shi Tian frowned and said, "Let the front line use some fire elemental summoning scrolls." ”
"Yes!" the little angel hurriedly passed the order.
Soon, thousands of fire elementals appeared around the eight satellite castles.
These fire elementals were all more than three meters tall, burly, and their orange-red bodies were completely made of flames, constantly exuding high heat.
As soon as the fire element appeared, the small poisonous insects within 5 to 7 meters around were instantly burned alive by the heat emitted by the fire element.
Therefore, if there are only small poisonous insects, it is estimated that they can kill a lot of them with these fire elements alone, and then the insect tide will not pose any threat.
But unfortunately, the insect tide is not such a simple thing to do.
Those little poisonous insects naturally ran as far as they saw the fire element, but the spider the size of the small house didn't care about this!
After they rushed over, they finally saw the enemy, and immediately rushed over excitedly, regardless of spraying venom, or even rushing directly to bite it.
The fire element is also a bronze-level class, and one-on-one is really not afraid of big spiders, but the number of big spiders on the other side is several times and dozens of times that of the fire element.
Even if the fire element's combat power is explosive, with one as ten, it is useless at all, and the most one will last for three minutes before it is blown up.
On average, the number of poisonous insects and spiders killed per fire elemental is not even as large as the shells of a 250 mm gun.
Seeing those fire elements being blown up one by one, Emperor Shi Tian couldn't help frowning, and said, "Oh, I even have one less class, and that is cannon fodder for infinite consumption!"
In the interstellar era when Emperor Shi Tian was rampant in the world, the army must have both extremely powerful super warships, individual mechas, and unmanned aircraft, all of which are combined to be a truly powerful and invincible legion.
If you only focus on the main gun fire of the battleship, then it is easy to be killed by a large number of drones.
And if you only focus on mecha and drones, then it is likely to be exploded by someone's main artillery.
So both must be taken into account.
Emperor Shakti seemed to be the first general to pay attention to both, and as his army became invincible and influenced others, a large number of all-round legions with equal emphasis on both appeared.
And the current situation is actually similar to the original star era, the other party has both elite spiders and countless poisonous insects and cannon fodder, mixed together, and it is really difficult to deal with.
Emperor Shitian's current legion is a bit like an army that pays attention to the firepower of the main artillery, although the firepower covers super fiercely, but it does not attract cannon fodder in front of the firepower.
In fact, if Emperor Shi Tian is willing, he can call some black iron-level crazy iron dogs or slave warriors to the front, which is enough to greatly reduce the casualties of the elite troops behind.
However, Emperor Shitian's population is actually not particularly large, and these cannon fodder are also useful, so he is reluctant to throw them away in vain anyway.
It's like a single mecha in the star era, and they don't go up to kill in person, but command drones that are exactly the same as them, forming a group of actions, basically the drones have suffered heavy losses, but the soldiers inside are rarely damaged.
UAVs are lost and can be manufactured quickly, but elites who can command thousands of UAVs on the battlefield cannot be trained in a short period of time.
Therefore, Emperor Shi Tian found that there was still an important existence missing in his armament, that is, cannon fodder similar to drones, which means that it is not a pity to lose troops that can be quickly replenished in large quantities.
After secretly recording this matter, Emperor Shi Tianbian frowned, and continued to order: "Tell the troops in front that weapons and personnel must be rotated, try to avoid firepower vacancies, and if you really can't do it, throw magic scrolls, grenades, and rockets can also be used at will." ”
"Yes!" the little angel hastened to give the order.
In fact, Emperor Shi Tian made a lot of preparations for this war, except for heavy artillery, other weapons have additional backups, stored in the warehouse, and there are still a lot of them, but he is afraid that there will be no way to replenish them after the weapon fails.
In addition, there is a lot of surplus personnel in each castle, which is enough to rotate three shifts.
And now it seems that Emperor Shitian's preparation seems to be sufficient, but in fact it is still insufficient.
Whether it is weapons or personnel, the degree of use is too high, too fast.
The original plan was to rotate every eight hours, but now it seems that I am afraid that it will have to be rotated every three hours, otherwise, the weapons will be scrapped and the personnel will be tired and lying down.
In this way, the materials and personnel stored by Emperor Shi Tian are not enough, and they must be replenished as soon as possible.
But the problem is that the eight satellite castles are almost surrounded by insect tides, with bugs and spiders on all sides, and the corpses are covered in a thick layer.
In this case, don't even think about replenishing supplies from the ground, how many people have been feeding bugs in the past.
However, if the necromantic airship is used for transportation, it will reduce the support of air firepower, which will put more pressure on the ground troops.
Thinking of this, Emperor Shi Tian frowned, and then said, "Order, all the magic carpets are gathered in the main castle to be used to transport materials and personnel. Replenish my weapons and troops to the front line. At least 24 hours a day!"
The Magic Carpet was originally used as an exclusive flying vehicle for the mage group, but now that the mages are hiding in the castle, the magic carpet is idle and can be used to operate transportation.
I have to say that this whimsical idea of Emperor Shi Tian is still very good.
The little angel secretly admired, and at the same time quickly issued an order.
Soon, a convoy of magic flying carpets appeared in the sky, constantly transporting weapons, ammunition and personnel from the air to the eight satellite cities, greatly relieving the pressure on the satellite cities.
However, with the issuance of this order, the followers of Emperor Shakti also realized that the war here was not going well.
So, Long Pao Ji, Yaslian, and Aladdin rushed over one after another, and even the bronze dragon, who had always been lazy, appeared quietly.
Looking at the endless and huge insect tide in the distance, everyone present immediately frowned.
Long Pao Ji couldn't help but say: "Didn't you say that we have to face the Spider Army? How did it become an endless tide of poisonous insects? These are completely two concepts, okay!"
"Yes, the light spider is easy to deal with, and the light bug is easy to deal with, but it's not easy to deal with them mixed up. Yaslian frowned and asked, "This doesn't seem to be the same enemy we expected?"
"Alas!" Emperor Shi Tian sighed helplessly and said, "I've been pitted!"
"What do you mean?" asked Long Paohime immediately curiously.
Emperor Shi Tian reluctantly explained: "Before attacking the Spider Forest, I had looked up information, and it only said that there were a large number of large spiders here, which were extremely dangerous, and I didn't mention poisonous insects at all. ”
It turned out that although the Heavenly God Academy would not tell the students what was in the dungeon, it would still issue a warning to the particularly dangerous area, so as not to let the students enter it by mistake and die unclear, then it would not be a training student, but a pit student.
And the description of the Spider Forest by the Heavenly God Academy is all about the big spider, and there is no mention of poisonous insects at all.
Therefore, Emperor Shi Tian took it for granted that only all kinds of big spiders here were enemies, so he formulated a battle plan according to this standard.
As a result, after the fight really started, Emperor Shi Tian was shocked to find that there were not only big spiders here, but also a large number of poisonous insects.
Since the battle plan formulated by Emperor Shi Tian was mainly aimed at the big spider, the big spider would not pose much threat to him, but it was those poisonous insects that made Emperor Shi Tian the most difficult.
In fact, it is impossible to completely clean up these difficult poisonous insects, whether it is a cannonball or a grenade, after all, there will be a lot of gaps, and it is impossible to completely kill all the poisonous insects.
So in the past few hours, there have actually been a lot of poisonous insects climbing up the city wall, but they have been killed by the deworming enchantment.
It can be said that without Emperor Shitian's advance preparations, this battle would have ended long ago.
Even a heavily armored minotaur can't stop countless poisonous insects, as long as someone gets in and bites through the gap, it can poison the minotaur.
And if there are too many poisonous insects, they can even eat the minotaur directly, even if there are more antidotes and purification scrolls, it is useless.
"Damn, it's those damned mentors who are making trouble!" said Long Paoji angrily, "I should make a fuss about the silver and wood, and cut off the heads of those guys." ”
"No, no, no, no!" Emperor Shi Tian hurriedly waved his hand and said: "If we report them on the issue of wood, then they may be beheaded, but our wood is gone, and I still count on those flying warships to cross the sea!"
"Hmph, for the sake of those flying battleships, spare them. Dragon Cannon Ji then frowned and said, "Do you want to dispatch my Charizard Legion?"
"Hmm~" Emperor Shi Tian thought for a moment, and finally shook his head and said: "Forget it, those mechanical velociraptors of yours are hard-won and powerful, so they shouldn't be wasted here." Although they are not afraid of ordinary poisonous insects, nor are they afraid of the bite of big spiders, they can't stand the venom spray of those big spiders. ”
