Chapter 187: From Harvester to Reaper.
Chapter 187: From Harvester to Reaper.
In fact, in terms of heritage, the old champion of the sea, the Sea Country, which once occupied the entire ocean, is definitely far superior to the Naga tribe.
He was originally just a subordinate of the mermaid, but after defecting to the God of Knowledge in the Sea Country, they stubbornly retained their belief in the Sea God.
Because the Sea God Delia is the image of the Naga, it naturally can win the favor of the Naga Empire.
The God of Knowledge doesn't interfere in internal affairs, and everything taught by the church is given a price. It implements the exchange of interests, but it only looks good on the surface. In fact, the support for the Sea Country has been significantly reduced.
The Sea God Delia is different. She is very active, carefully manages the church, and her attitude towards believers is more responsible among the Seven Gods.
Such a "this for that" exchange, coupled with the laziness of the mermaids, ultimately resulted in the rise of the Nagas and their constant encroachment on territory.
The current battle is initiated by the Saint of the Delia Church, Nicole, with the aim of helping the Nagas break through the blockade of the Mermaid Sea Country, gaining access to landing points, and then verifying the intelligence of the Green Vines Empire.
The intelligence that Narinair desires cannot be satisfied by simple espionage activities, especially given the difficulty of spying within the empire and the abundance of unreliable information.
To truly complete Narinair's mission, it is necessary to test a series of conjectures through war, and obtain sufficient information about the empire's regular troops, powerful subordinates, and weapon equipment.
The Saint is an absolutely devout believer, and has always been taught and protected by the Sea God, so her battle will is very firm, and the Nagas are happy to bully the declining sea country.
If it weren't for the Mermaids' substantial followers, whose numbers are four times that of the Naga, their territory would have collapsed long ago.
Speaking of it, this is quite a ridiculous scene. The majestic mermaid kingdom has dominated the ocean for tens of thousands of years, but now it is being brutally attacked by a country with only half of their strength on paper. It is truly in decline.
Nagas are naturally skilled and daring in combat, but with the support of the empire's weapons and equipment, their fighting power has significantly multiplied, biting off a large chunk of the mermaid's territory.
It seems that they are about to completely break through and gain the long-awaited landing point.
It is unknown if the mermaid kingdom is aware of Nagas' true intentions.
If they knew that Naga's strategic goal in this battle was to seize the landing point and then cause trouble for the Green Vines Empire, they would surely celebrate and send them off to "kick the iron plate."
However, the Naga Empire didn't bother to explain, nor will they be willing to take detours, so they decisively go to war.
This is the completion of the oracle with the high level of faith, and the nagas have a strong fighting spirit.
The second batch of equipment sent by Tasika made them even more stronger, causing Prince Dao Er to swear every day.
The first batch of equipment obtained by the nagas mainly consists of standardized weapons and magical equipment, which mainly improves the personal strength of the professionals. This allows the nagas to arm more powerful individuals and play a role as a sharp knife in attacking and seizing cities.
The second batch of equipment happened to coincide with the Empire's upgrade to the second-generation crystal mechanization. Thus, the old equipment that was replaced, after being slightly modified, was sold to the nagas.
Although it was second-hand, and many of them were originally used for agriculture and later adapted for military use, the power of the machines on the battlefield was fully demonstrated for the first time.
Among them, the greatest impact on the navy was the Rabbit Reaper.
These heavy agricultural machinery, once galloping on the vast plains of state-owned farms, have left countless sweats for the Empire... heroes of machine oil.
At the same time, it is also the humanoid magic weapon that the Night Queen has been longing for, and the first-generation model produced after successful trial.
It's just a bit different from the function and what the Night Queen expected.
In the past, what often happened in the Fengling Moon Palace was that the Night Queen, lying slantingly on the bed, trimming her nails and lazily asking, "Xiaojie, is my humanoid magic weapon ready?"
"It's in progress." Roger would always answer.
When the completion was finally achieved, the expression on the queen's face was quite contorted as she visited.
The lower body of the steel giant, which stands at a height of fifteen meters, is designed in a caterpillar-like fashion. Its sturdy and powerful upper body is equipped with two arms, and the portion where its hands should have been is instead a universal interface, which can be fitted with various agricultural tools such as chainsaws, harvesting kits, plowshares, and ropes.
Instead of the sharp-angled steel face she had imagined, the part resembling a head is painted pink and shaped like a rabbit's head, complete with two long ears.
Mounted on top of it is a series of sensors which greatly enhance the efficiency of harvesting and prevent significant damage to precious crops.
"This is the equipment you claimed could arm all the imperial people?" Queen of Eternal Night looked at a row of these things and become furious.
After spending so much gold, resources and time training magicians, she had to face the disappointment of seeing a group of agricultural machinery?
So, this is actually a plan to liberate Plough Oxen, isn't it?
"Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry. The people of the empire must first have a full meal before they have the strength to forge your weapons of final battle, right?"
Roger smiled and let the bunny harvester show off its strength, causing dust and wood chips to fly up and the harvested rice to be cut down like with a chain saw.
With the combination of magic and technology, the precision of manufacturing has rapidly improved, and the automatic control system is also very powerful.
Most importantly, the magic crystal energy output is both sufficient and stable.
Therefore, whether it is harvesting, logging and processing, or deep ploughing and sowing on the permafrost, these fifteen-meter-tall bunny harvesters that weigh as much as a main battle tank can easily achieve an output of eight thousand horsepower.
The operators inside were highly skilled royal guards in martial arts, and they quickly became familiar with the operation of these magical crystal machines. They were stable on tracked slopes and remarkably agile with two arms. The power to split boulders gave them an immense sense of gratification.
Is that all for the legendary warrior?
Looking at the dusty farmland, the Queen of Eternal night' face finally cleared up slightly.
This kind of fast and agile thing can reap infantry with the chainsaw in hand, switch to the lance to charge against cavalry, or equip the newly developed imperial crystal mechanical cannon. They should all have good effects, right?
As long as the energy output is sufficient, even an iron piece can create infinite possibilities!
As expected, Roger demonstrated the effect of the bunny harvester equipped with the combat module.
However, she still saw traces of rough production from those enlarged equipment. Maybe, they were made in haste last night!
"This thing of yours was made specifically for the farm, wasn't it? You just made this military module to appease me, didn't you?"
"Your Majesty, please take a rest. We, too, are taking a rest. You must consider the livelihood of the people..."
Someone confidently misappropriated military funds, commanded the most excellent wizards, and created a tractor from another world.
The Eternal Night Queen couldn't help but roll her eyes. There's just no dealing with certain people, but she did ask about the development technology specifications for the next generation of manned golems in detail.
With specifications such as miniaturization to within three meters, a tougher exterior, strong magic resistance, bio-mimetic spider legs, weapon platforms including lasers and explosives, etc.
Upon hearing these specifications, the Eternal Night Queen finally felt relieved.
Although not a super-sized battle weapon, every indicator suggested that it was a heavy infantry that could be used in all kinds of complicated battlefields.
So she granted her approval.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Roger smiled mysteriously, celebrating the successful covert operation of his long-cherished mining golem.
The small-scale drilling holes were convenient, had a hard shell and high magic resistance, and were adaptable to a variety of extreme environments. Biomimetics adapt to various terrains, while lasers, explosions, and other methods are used for mountain excavation.
In short, everything was for the purpose of mining service.
There are those mad magicians, and the update speed of these magic crystal machines is incredibly fast. It's been just half a year, and the second generation of rabbit reapers has already been fully released.
With ten thousand horsepower and significantly reduced volume, the operation became more sophisticated and the machine also truly gained legs
Consequently, the old generation was eliminated. Since there was support for the Nagas, the tracks were modified into propellers, the cockpit was reshaped to fit the Nagas, and a high-voltage arc generator was added as standard equipment
The complete steel structure was a Faraday cage that ensured its safety even at high self-voltages.
With the help of water, which is an excellent conductor, the high-voltage electric eel became a truly efficient AOE attack tactic.
Thus, in the Nagas' combat formation, these agricultural harvesters formed a new mechanised corps called the Thunderous Judgement.
Upon leaving the machine export channel, Roger renamed the bunny harvester to the Thunderous Harvester.
With great horsepower, lightning-fast speed, and wielding electrifying arcs like the descent of the Thunder God itself in battle, combined with their tough skin and flesh, the 3,000 Krazy Thunder Reapers have sent fatal fear into the hearts of the sea country's defenders with every assault.
The pink-painted iron lumps not only cause direct harm, but also crush morale beyond repair, no amount of spicy rabbit heads can replenish.
Not only does it bring great harm, but it also carries a strong sense of insult.
Daur was getting annoyed by these mechanical troops the Nagas pulled out of nowhere!
Currently, the only two ways for the sea nation to face the punishment corps of mad thunder are to either use large-scale magic to suppress and attack them or rely on the fortress to prevent them from attacking infantry clusters.
However, the magic power of the magician is limited, and the fortress can also be removed by the enemy. Unless they can find a way to massively paralyze these iron lumps, even a peerless famous general cannot save the sea nation's declining defense line.
Looking at the Naga side, they became more arrogant and came up with the tactic of having the Wild Thunder Harvester attract fire in front, while slow-moving infantry advance behind it.
With just a group of mines, they achieved the coordination of the steps and tanks of the Eternal night world and completely overwhelmed the technological gap of the Sea Country.
The Black Shark Fortress, where the Sea Country's main forces are now gathering, is also the last permanent military fortress before the coastline.
If they fail here again, the entire core territory of the Sea Country will open up to the Naga, so heavy defense was deployed, and the Royal Magic Brigade also relocated to this area.
Only by doing this can they stabilize their defense line.
"Is my prince brother ready to take the initiative?" Four Prince Daol of the Sea Kingdom is a tall and handsome merman with three red lines on his tail.
"Yes, he requests the cooperation of the central army."
"Oh?" Daol touched his chin and smirked. "Tell them that we will launch a feint to cover their actions and attract the enemy's attention."
"Your Highness, are you really going to cooperate with that waste?" His adjutant grumbled dissatisfiedly.
This is Daol's aunt, a mermaid with a huge fish head, a graceful waist, and long beautiful legs...
In this world, mermaids have two genotypes: one with a human head and fish tail, the other with a fish head and human legs. Both characteristics are randomly inherited and are considered mermaids.
After a long period of time, their sense of aesthetics was cultivated. They had to choose between being obsessed with facial beauty or legs, and this may forever be LSP's pain.
Unless one can marry a bunch of wives.
"Cooperation? No, this is a way to let him help us probe the enemy," Dao'er said in a low voice, "So far, only the Thunder Reaper has been exposed in the Naggar Empire's attack, but what if they have other new equipment? What if the Holy Lady has obtained new divine arts? We all have to be cautious, and this has to be done by the prince to help us probe."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone suddenly understood.
The mass-produced manned mecha like the Thunder Reaper are very powerful, with a large number that is headache-inducing, and extremely flexible, which has caused them many troubles.
But after one battle after another, Dao'er and his staff have already thought of a way to crack them.
The reason there has been no action is because they are afraid that if they break this trick, the enemy will reveal even more terrifying moves, which will catch them off guard.
It was precisely at this moment when Shaq came to support the battlefield with the equipment purchased by Green Vines Empire. Dahl was ready to see how tough he was.
"A captive returning to the country with military equipment, could have already been bought as a spy of the empire. This is a good opportunity to check his identity!"
Dahl's aunt chuckled, "If Nagas is too heavy-handed, our Crown Prince may be hurt badly, and the Empress may not even have time to cry..."
Shaq was not competent enough; his mother had a strong combat capability and had caused a lot of trouble for the Fourth Prince. She was full of hatred.
So, a campaign, which was orchestrated by the maritime nation, both real and fake, was set up in this way.
...
...
A narrow sea trench, the location where Prince Shake's detachment was stationed.
Upon arrival, the camp on the back of the giant whale was quickly set up, and individual pieces of base coral were thawed, planted on the seabed, and then released the first batch of "planktonic predators."
These fish, which resemble whale sharks, are huge in size, but only equivalent to worker bees, feeding on plankton and small fish and shrimp, and then carrying the harvested excess organic matter back to the base coral.
The fish shoals are naturally summoned by the sea clan.
In the abundant ocean, obtaining organic matter is too easy; with large shoals of fish arriving, those scattered planted corals are able to grow wildly.
They first expanded to the wider area, until the base connected, covering the sky like a forest, then they started growing upwards.
With visibility obscured by the coral forest, in the abyss, which required artificial lighting, Margaret couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, "Gosh, these corals give me the creeps, and it's only been a few hours--"
Roger looked at the hatching sacs beginning to form on the coral base, revealing a smile, "This is a weapon that will grow, adapt to its surroundings, and evolve on its own. By tomorrow morning, they'll be helping us with the firepower suppression."
After counteracting enough zooplankton predators, the coral base began to hatch the self-destructing fish. In addition to their conventional combat attributes, Roger designated a property that accounted for more than 60% of the yield in order to achieve the battle plan of tomorrow.
