Chapter 435 Modern Warfare
Three spaceships, one large and two small, arrived at a certain sea area.
Amber stood at the bow, looking at the endless sea, and then gestured behind him.
The brothers Harris and Hastings immediately understood what Ambershu meant. After a busy moment at the operating table, the three spaceships opened the lower cabins, and many tiny black substances fell like rain.
These are all small fry type undead, freshly produced from the factory and now thrown directly into the sea.
The bones on Amber's face twitched slightly, and he threw away three million gold coins.
It's not just the production cost, there's also the cost of transferring using the teleportation array. The transportation fee is the most expensive.
But there is no way. Amber's long-distance transportation line has not been fully built yet. If he wants to successfully complete this war, he can only use this high-cost space transmission method.
It’s heartbreaking, but that’s how war works. How can you win without spending money?
The first batch of small undead creatures have been released and began to disperse under Amber's control, slowly exploring this sea area.
Naval battles are three-dimensional, so the most important thing is "air supremacy". All sea creatures will try to occupy the part closer to the sea surface when fighting, because this will reduce their surface area of attack. At the same time, many attacks can rely on gravity.
But no matter how close they get, they are still in the sea water, and few sea creatures can fly.
But Amberxiu is completely different. His airship occupies the sea horizon.
This is Amberxiu’s advantage. If there are any more problems, Amberxiu can just clap his hands and leave. A hundred meters high is an unreachable chasm for the sea people.
Hastings reported: "Master, the first type of trash has been deployed, and no enemies have been encountered for the time being."
Amber nodded, and then said: "Begin to deploy the observation capsule and guardian."
The three airships opened their cabins again, and more than a dozen small submersibles were thrown into the sea, along with a dozen octopus-like white bone monsters.
As these things were thrown into the sea, the magic mirror in front of Amber opened more than a dozen pictures, including instant messaging with others and pictures of the sea.
Amber said to the magic mirror: "Ang Watson, as the commander of this battle, you should be clear about the combat objectives?"
On the other side of the magic mirror, Ange Watson straightened his collar and said confidently: "Don't worry, we will win this battle!"
After saying this, Angel Watson shifted his gaze to the underwater scene on the magic mirror.
These images were taken by the submersibles that Amber Xiu had just deployed. There were a total of fifteen submersibles, all equipped with magic mirrors in different forms, which could be controlled by voice commands and equipped with crystal lenses for adjusting vision, which could be adjusted in distance.
But this would place very high demands on the commander's operational capabilities.
Amber Xiu knew he didn't have the ability to operate fifteen cameras at the same time, and neither could Angel Watson. He could only control nine, and the remaining six were divided among the other three.
The Tieflings control two, the elves control two, and the remaining two are under the charge of the brothers Alan and Cade.
According to Amber's perception, the small undead separated into various formations around the diving monitor and moved quickly towards the predetermined target.
This is the territory of the Shark Hua fish people. The water temperature is moderate and it is exactly where the ocean currents reach, so it can bring sufficient oxygen and food, as well as very good light and habitat environment.
The Shark Hua fishmen took a fancy to this underwater area at first sight. The area within a radius of 80 kilometers is where the Shark Hua fishmen live.
Amber's first target is this area. If he can successfully deal with the Shark-Hua fishmen here, it will be a good threat to the neighboring Kou Tao fishmen and Isi rays.
Amberthau doesn't mind fighting on multiple fronts; the more opponents die, the greater the advantage for the undead.
The small fry army entered stealth mode, but their speed was not slow. It didn't take long for them to find the figure of the Shark Hua merman.
Amberxiu deployed troops directly over the area and easily bypassed the Shark-Hua Fishmen's outer outposts. Therefore, when the miscellaneous fish troops approached, many Shark-Hua Fishmen did not react.
They really couldn't react. Even though they had been dealing with the sea all their lives, they had never seen what this strange fish the size of a finger was.
Until the army of small fish began to accelerate, the jet stream drew thousands of white lines on the seabed, and then the shark-like fishmen let out screams.
"Alan, your troops will encircle them from the south and kill those fleeing. Try to delay their request for help!"
"Cade, dive to the bottom of the sea and interweave the formation. Don't let them get away and reorganize the team!"
"You two tiefling idiots, stop trying to take credit for the work. Did I tell you to charge? Pull the troops back quickly. Didn't you see the enemy coming from the south? Do you want to be annihilated?!"
"Friends of the Elven Tribe, you are free to move around, but don't go too deep into the battlefield. I estimate that the reinforcements of the Shark Hua murlocs will arrive soon. If we don't have time to deal with this group of murlocs in front of us, we will need your help to delay time."
…
Anger Watson methodically issued various orders, constantly fine-tuning the position and observation distance of the submersible cameras. Although he had simulated this countless times in his dreams, Anger Watson still felt very excited.
Commanding a war like this has never been tried before. Being able to control the troops and destroy the enemy from thousands of miles away while hiding at home, can this still be considered a war? It's simply a one-sided massacre.
In previous battles, it was very difficult for the commander to control the entire situation after the battle started, unless he could find a particularly high place with a wide view, perhaps overlooking the battlefield.
But most of the time the rules are set before the war begins, and then when the war starts everyone acts according to the plan, making it difficult to adapt to changing circumstances.
Even if you want to change, it will take a very long time for the order to be sent from the commander's mouth to the ears of the soldiers on the front line.
Therefore, once the battle begins, unless you are the most elite troops, it is difficult to change the formation on the spot. If you do it recklessly, you will be thrown into disarray first. The soldiers don't understand so much, and if you change your orders again and again, they won't be able to react.
Ryan only has the most elite Paladin Corps that can react on the spot, and the commander of the Paladin Corps can change the combat objectives according to the situation on the battlefield.
But they also cannot see the entire battlefield and can only deal with various situations based on experience and reaction.
But it is different for Angel Watson. He can now see the situation of the entire battlefield. The real-time broadcast effect of this magic mirror is so powerful, just like doing troop force simulation on a map.
Amber's undead army is even more terrifying. When it comes to enforcing orders, even the paladins cannot compare to the undead.
Because paladins have emotions and the undead do not, Ange Watson was reluctant to command the paladins to launch a suicide charge. Even if victory could be achieved, the loss of the paladins would be too great and the gain would not be worth it.
But it doesn’t matter about the undead. The undead like Amber are just trash. Do you still need to cherish them for him?
Under the command of Angel Watson, the undead army was like the most agile school of fish, cutting and devouring the Shark Hua fishmen. Thousands of Shark Hua fishmen were soon killed and their morale collapsed, and they began to flee in all directions without any order.
Angel Watson quickly came to a conclusion - this was not the main force of the Shark Hua fishmen. Even though all the Shark Hua fishmen were soldiers, there were still differences in strength.
The group in front of them were more like civilians and reserve forces, because not only did they not have any decent weapons, they didn't even have giant sharks, which were essential military units in the army of the Shark Hua mermen.
But Angel Watson had no mercy at all. He received the most traditional education of the Ryan people. In Angel Watson's eyes, races other than humans were not considered human beings.
The army of miscellaneous fish started moving again, killing all the shark-like fishmen in the most efficient way.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Blood and poison spread in the ocean, and the corpses of shark-like merfolk were scattered all over the ocean.
After a careful count of the casualties, it was found that approximately 3,000 enemies were killed, while the casualties of the miscellaneous troops exceeded 8,000. Only one submersible used for observing the battlefield was lost.
This was much better than Angel Watson had expected. After all, Type 1 Minions were consumables, similar to enchanted arrows. It took less than three arrows to kill an enemy on average, which was simply incredible on the battlefield.
However, the Trash Corps does not have such a hit rate. Even with its own tracking aiming, the actual hit rate of a charge is less than 10%. The Trash Type 1 can accelerate up to eight times, and if it misses once, it can try again, so it seems to have a very high hit rate.
Moreover, Type 1 miscellaneous fish can release highly toxic poison over a large area. Although the toxin can only be released once, the effective killing range exceeds five meters. Inhaling these highly toxic seawater at a distance can also cause paralysis and convulsions, making the enemy lose its combat effectiveness.
The reason for such a huge consumption is that there were too many useless saturation attacks at the beginning of the battle.
A Shark-Hua merman would often be stabbed by two or more of the same type, sometimes even more, while the ones next to him were not hit by the arrows but were poisoned to death.
After all, it is a war. No matter how powerful a general is, he cannot micro-control the movements of every small fry. When issuing orders, the small fry army's insufficient IQ will cause a waste of firepower.
As for the submersibles, they were much larger than the small fish army and were spread all over the battlefield, so it was hard for the Shark Hua fishmen to not see them. These Shark Hua fishmen were not fools, and they could guess at a glance that the small fish army was consumable, and these big guys were the focus.
So the Shark Hua fishmen mustered up the courage to launch a desperate charge, and a total of seven submersibles were hit.
But in the end only one ship was damaged, because Amberxiu threw not only the small fry army into the sea, but also the guardian-type undead specially used for defense.
This skeleton monster that looks like an octopus has eighteen tentacles and its only ability is to continuously shoot special skeleton bullets from its tentacles, and all of these bullets are infected with the skeleton virus.
These inventions from the City of Alchemy can make bones grow rapidly in a short period of time.
When a shark-man is hit, large pieces of white bone coral will immediately grow on his body, covering him tightly and making him unable to move. He will eventually die from blood loss and suffocation.
Because of the great resistance of sea water, the range of this guardian is very short and it cannot be used as a conventional long-range soldier, but it is really useful for defense. These bullets do not need to hit the target. Even if they just lose power in the sea water, the bone virus contained in them will grow wildly and grow white bone corals to form an isolation zone.
There are a large number of bone virus bullets in the guardian's head, enough to seal off the entire sea area with bones.
As for the damaged one, it was purely bad luck. There was a spellcaster among the charging Shark-Humans, and a chain lightning struck, causing damage to the submersible. There was no problem with the structure, but several undead controlling it inside were electrocuted, causing the submersible to stop working properly and sink to the bottom of the sea.
Amber Xiu also saw the battle damage report and suddenly felt a toothache.
This is all money. After being hit, the small fish army will release toxins like bees, and then they will most likely die, making it difficult to reuse.
Only after the war can we recycle the bodies of these small fry and create new souls to stuff them back in.
The sudden loss of eight thousand people, although he knew it was normal combat damage, Amber Xiu still felt a little heartbroken.
"Forget it. I won't care about it anymore. I'll leave it to you experts to handle." After saying this, Amber Xiu simply closed the picture on the magic mirror.
Fighting is like scattering gold coins. If you look at it a few more times, your soul will explode.
After closing the screen on the battlefield, Amberxiu did not sit idle. Instead, he opened the magic mirror and contacted another old friend.
The serious Gustavo Flynn appeared in the magic mirror, and Amber said with a smile: "Flynn, you also saw the results of the battle just now, right? Are you satisfied?"
Gustavo Flynn said coldly: "It's still acceptable."
Amber Xiu laughed and said, "Don't be modest, this is still acceptable. In my opinion, it is simply invincible. Have you ever seen this kind of war weapon? Have you ever seen such a highly efficient way to kill the enemy? I think you have no objection to my previous suggestion?"
Gustavo Flin wanted to curse, is he being modest? This is not his product.
But when Amber mentioned cooperation, Gustavo Flynn had to think seriously. He asked doubtfully, "Are you really willing to give me the designs of these arms? And use my name for publicity?"
Amber shook his head and said, "Not in your name, but in the name of the brand of Alchemy God's Selection. If you join my brand, you will be the spokesperson for these undead arms. Even if you are not responsible for making these undeads, at least most of the accessories are provided by you. What a powerful advertising effect that is? "Think about it, your Alchemist Council has been re-established, and it is the time to advertise. I will give you this big promotion, and I guarantee that your customers will line up to come to you in the future. And the price is just to help me waive the shipping fee. This small request is nothing to you, right?"
Amber Xiu said happily, "There is no such thing as a war that doesn't cost money, but fighting a war can also cost other people's money, right?" (End of this chapter)
