Chapter 781 Battlefield Center

"How to become stronger? Of course..." Nini swallowed.

"Of course, it's about adding more arms, having more strength, using more powerful weapons, and delivering a greater yield!"

Nini is not an equivalence believer. Well, not an extreme equivalence believer.

After all, the concept of equivalence is indeed useful. Increasing the equivalence can solve 99% of the problems. If it is not solved, then there is a 99% chance that the equivalence is not large enough.

The people around nodded, whether they were banshees or humans, most of them agreed with Nini's idea.

If you are strong enough, you can hold a Gatling gun, and if you are stronger, you can use a dragon's breath cannon. By increasing your individual strength, you can use more powerful weapons.

The weakest Banshee (Monica) is much more powerful than the strongest mortal warrior. At least she can hold several guns at the same time.

"You all think so?" Xius looked around.

"I think the Banshee Armor can be enhanced. The technology of the Mechanical Temple has been analyzed a lot. Now we can wear thicker armor without affecting flexibility." Gaia stepped forward and said.

"Not bad, wear thicker armor and withstand more severe blows." Zeus nodded.

"Well, is there something wrong? From what you're saying, we're not thinking in the right direction?"

Xius didn't answer directly, but looked at Nini: "Nini, what do you think is your biggest advantage on the battlefield?"

Nini was stunned. She looked at her snake tail, then at her six hands, and hesitated for a moment: "My strength? I can lift heavier weapons."

"Rebecca, what do you think?"

The girl whose name was called shuddered and pointed at herself in surprise: "Me?"

She has only been in Castell for a few days!

She was just a carpenter's daughter. She had never been to the battlefield in her life and knew almost nothing about combat.

Rebecca scratched her head in annoyance and looked at the tall Nini: "Well, I think it should be six hands? Six hands can hold six weapons, which should be very powerful."

"What do you think, Erwin?"

Erwin raised his eyebrows and glanced at Rebecca with a look of realization.

He is the commander of the mortal army, has personally participated in many battles, and has rich experience in battlefield command.

Hughes mentioned his name, probably wanting to make a judgment from the commander's perspective.

If he were to command the Banshees in battle.

Erwin pondered for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up and he said loudly, "I think it's the ability of mind connection!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the auditorium suddenly became quiet.

People looked at Erwin in surprise, as most of the Banshee's abilities were for combat.

For example, fast movement in water, shared life pool, and fast healing.

Mind link is one of the few abilities they have that is not related to combat.

Erwin met everyone's gazes without flinching. "In the battles I commanded, the biggest problem on the battlefield wasn't a shortage of troops, or even logistics, but communications."

"As everyone knows, the current Skitarii teams often design their tactics around airships."

"Initially, it was because we needed the firepower supply from the airship, but we often have excess firepower."

Most of the enemies of the Crusaders are mortals. There is not much difference between the bullets fired from the bolt-action rifles and the bombardment from the dragon's breath cannons when hitting mortals, and both can kill them.

As long as the Crusaders carry a few heavy machine guns, they will never be short of firepower. Airship bombing is usually only used during offensive operations.

But now, almost all Crusaders will call for airship support during battles.

"Right now, the most popular weapon on the battlefield is the reconnaissance airship. This miniaturized airship has pitifully weak firepower, no match for Ms. Nini's three hands, but its role on the battlefield is equivalent to that of an entire Banshee squadron."

Erwin looked at everyone with sharp eyes.

"That's because airships can command battles directly in the air!"

"Everyone can see the airship when they look up. It can instantly transmit orders to any unit on the battlefield. Even if there's a significant delay in information transmission, it can still multiply the army's combat effectiveness!"

"Exponentially increased?" Zoe asked in surprise. "Is this an exaggeration?"

"That's not an exaggeration at all. Furthermore, the more people there are on the battlefield, the greater the improvement. If it's a large-scale battle, a dedicated airship would be more useful than the Banshees themselves providing support!"

Zeus once wanted to develop a radio for use on the battlefield, but because electricity was too difficult to use in this world, the radio he built was so large that it was almost impossible to move it.

Can only be installed on airships.

The commander on the battlefield would use flag signals to convey orders to the airship, which would then pass them on to the front-line troops using specific patterns and signs. At the same time, the battle situation would be transmitted to the rear command post via radio.

The amount of information that can be conveyed by this relayed command is limited, but even so, it greatly improves the efficiency of the entire battlefield.

Well, when delivering complex commands, you can even airdrop commands, such as moving the machine gun position for micro-operations.

At this point, everyone showed a look of sudden realization.

Hughes looked at Erwin with satisfaction. His summary was already very close to the concept of modern warfare.

"Everyone," Zeus clapped his hands. "This is what I want to say. I believe the Banshee's greatest strength isn't fighting in person, but being the command center on the battlefield!"

"Imagine it. Information is transmitted instantly, and tactics can be discussed efficiently in a telepathic link. Even better, if the enemy wants to execute a decapitation operation—"

Zeus stretched out his hand and gestured "please look", and everyone looked over. Standing over there was the fully armed Ash. Her heavy armor and tall, powerful body were breathtaking to look at.

"The Banshees will be the most powerful and versatile central node on the battlefield, stabilizing the front like a nail. Imagine them, armed with heavy firepower, directing beyond-visual-range fire directly on the battlefield, leaving the enemy unable to attack or escape."

"Nini, do you remember the battle group we set up before?"

Nini was stunned for a moment, then her eyes gradually widened.

When she applied to go to the North to fight, Hughes approved the Banshee to form a war correspondent corps and go to the battlefield in the name of the team.

This team is not composed only of banshees, but each banshee has to form a battle group, mainly composed of mortal auxiliary troops, led by the banshees, and Zeus also requires them to practice coordinated combat.

But Nini didn't take it seriously and just organized the training step by step.

In her opinion, mortals could not keep up with her charge at all. She could deal with the enemy alone anyway, so why should she bring these auxiliary troops?

Now she encountered an enemy that she could not deal with alone. Looking back, she saw that Xiusi had already formed a legion.
