Chapter 923

After the death of the tribal chief, the devil could no longer organize a resistance.

Although there are still a few legendary demons in this tribe, and there are five or six hundred living abyss knights, under the powerful long-range firepower of the Duke's guard, the fighting will of the entire tribe has completely collapsed, and more than 10,000 demons are heading towards Flee for your life behind the tribe.

The Duke's Guard bulldozed the tribe for half an hour, then bypassed the burning ruins and continued to hunt down the fleeing enemies.

The fighting ended after more than an hour.

Less than one-tenth of the more than 20,000 demons escaped, while the Duke's guard had almost no casualties. During the battle, more than a dozen purgatory mages teleported into the formation to make a surprise attack, desperately throwing range spells, and even blew themselves up to die together.

The Duke's Guards had been prepared for this in training. Their formation was relatively scattered, and there was no chance for the Purgatory Mage to cause a lot of damage.

However, dozens of soldiers were still hit by the spell, but they were not fatal. .

The armor they wear may seem ordinary, but it is actually the result of years of research and development by Rennes. It is a magic alloy that combines the advantages of mithril and fine gold. It has extremely high magic ductility, and is light and hard at the same time. By adding a variety of common metals, a new formula has been obtained.

If only one performance is to be compared, this magical alloy is definitely inferior to high-purity Mithril or fine gold, and even worse than Titan Blue Iron.

However, its comprehensive performance is very good, and its applicability is extremely wide.

Most importantly, the cost is low!

The cost of smelting this magical alloy is only about one-fifth of that of high-purity mithril, because its color is silver-gray and white, so Ren called it "Beskar alloy".

Rennes used Beskar alloy as the main material to tailor the standard armor for the Duke Guards. It consists of seven parts: helmet, breastplate, shoulder armor, gloves, belt, leggings and combat boots. Each part has a different Enchanting effect.

The helmet is the most versatile and expensive part of the entire armor set.

It not only comes with four rings of mind protection, the shell can filter poisonous gas, and the black goggles also have a light filtering effect, which can prevent blindness caused by spells such as "flash" or explosions and strong light. It also has a built-in sound transmission meter for instant communication with teammates , to accept orders from superiors.

Two spells are enchanted on the breastplate, namely the fourth-ring "Mystery Armor" and the fifth-ring "Teleportation".

The mysterious armor will be automatically triggered when it is attacked by a spell, weakening the energy damage. Even if this layer of magic armor is penetrated, the defense of the breastplate itself is extremely tough, enough to withstand one or two full blows from a legendary transcendent.

The teleportation technique is to teleport soldiers back to the armored warship when they have to retreat in a desperate situation, or when they are seriously injured and have lost their combat effectiveness.

If the Armored Battleship is also destroyed, automatically teleport back to the Star Destroyer's hangar.

The teleportation technique is the last resort of the Duke's Guards, because it has reached the fifth ring, so it can only be activated once every three days.

The shoulder armor is enchanted with the three-ring power technique, which can be used three times a day.

There is a torrent of flames on the glove, twice in each of the left and right hands, and burns the enemies close to it after being excited.

The tactical belt not only has its own "repair technique", which can quickly repair slightly damaged armor, but also is designed with multiple functions. It can mount different firearms magazines, ammunition and grenades, and contain three kinds of weapons for restoring physical strength and soul. Potions for strength and healing.

The enchantment on the leggings is flash, which can be used three times a day to keep the distance from the enemy at critical times, and can also dodge deadly attacks.

The boots also have two enchantments, the levitation technique avoids falling damage from high places, and the acceleration technique increases the running speed when needed, allowing the army to advance at full speed.

The quality of this set of magic armor reaches epic level!

Wren named it "Storm Armor".

Although the number of spell rings enchanted by storm armor is not high, a set of armor is practical and powerful, with defense, magic resistance and life protection, and the style is simple and beautiful, and it is very light to wear. It is worth 20,000 gold shields.

Those extraordinary professions that cannot cast spells, even if they are legends, have to fight for their heads.

In fact, after deducting the labor cost of the Thundercast Heavenly Soldiers, and only counting the alloys and enchanting materials used, a set of storm armor costs about 1,500 gold shields.

This is the result of Lane's intentional cost control.

He can make the storm armor more powerful, and the seven-ring and eight-ring spells can be enchanted, but the cost will increase dozens of times, and it cannot be installed on a large scale.

The cost of fifteen hundred gold shields is completely acceptable, and the price-performance ratio is very high.

In the past year, the Thundercast Heavenly Soldiers produced 50,000 sets of storm armor, enough to equip all the Duke's guards in the three barracks, and the remaining 20,000 sets were stored for future use.

The Duke Guards wearing storm armor, even though they are only second or third level transcendents, are actually not that easy to kill.

Most of the suicide spells of those purgatory mages were resisted by the storm armor and failed to cause damage.

Some soldiers dodged directly after sparking a flash.

Only a few dozen people were injured, and eight of them were seriously injured and dying. They were all caused by a seven-ring spell cast by a legendary purgatory, but he was quickly killed by the Thundercast Heavenly Soldiers. Treatment saved his life.

In addition, there are no more twists and turns.

The first battle of the Duke's Guard achieved a perfect victory. The first regiment of the first division wiped out ten times the number of enemies with 2,000 people, completely destroying this powerful demon tribe.

The armored battleship landed, and everyone quickly boarded the cabin, took off and returned to the Star Destroyer.

Soon, the armored warship flew into the hangar.

Only then did the officer allow everyone to take off their helmets to breathe.

The soldiers looked at each other and found that everyone's expressions were very excited, some were happy, some were excited, and some could not believe it.

A year ago, they were just weak ordinary people, but a year later, he was able to kill so many terrifying demons!

Everything is bestowed by the Duke!

Weapons, armor, potions, demonic souls, without the Duke who gave so much for himself, and the selfless teaching of the instructors, supervised training day and night, and learned tactics, he would never have such a powerful force.

The soldiers whispered, unable to restrain their desire to communicate with their teammates.

The voice was getting louder and it seemed a little chaotic.

This violated the strict discipline of the Duke's Guard. The instructors required that no matter what the situation, the army must remain calm and upright, and must not be noisy and chaotic. But this time, the officers at all levels did not order the prohibition, allowing the soldiers to communicate freely.

Gradually, the voices of the soldiers became unified, and someone stood up and shouted: "Long live the Duke!"

"Long live the Duke!"

A burst of shouts echoed in the hangar of the Star Destroyer, and the souls of the Stormcasters saw that the morale of the entire regiment was unprecedentedly high, and loyalty had reached its peak.

"alright."

Gu "Your Excellency already knows your intentions. Sit down and keep quiet." The captain's voice rang out among the five armored warships, and the soldiers stopped shouting quickly. They sat back to their seats and continued to obey the captain's orders. admonition.

"After returning to the barracks, tonight, each team will have a discussion within the team, and everyone will have to speak to summarize today's combat experience together. If you have any good or inadequacy, you can also provide any comments Come out, and the captain will write a written report and submit it to the superior company commander for review."

"Company commanders and battalion commanders at all levels should also hold seminars in their own troops and submit written reports."

"Finally, I will summarize the results of this battle, and let the whole group learn together."

"Of order." The officers responded in unison.

This was a routine discussion meeting of the Duke's Guard. The soldiers listened carefully, and many of them nodded repeatedly. They already had a lot of thoughts in their hearts and were ready to express them at the post-war discussion meeting. Everyone is very clear that this is an opportunity to show their abilities. Those officers who have served as deputy officers have some parts that stand out in the discussion meeting, so they are promoted.

In the magic laboratory on the top floor of the Star Destroyer, Ren stood on the operating table and created one after another Stormcast Sky Soldiers.

The souls of the Netif demons who were eliminated today have been transformed into more than 10,000 grids of electricity.

Wren is all used to create Stormcasters.

When the Star Destroyer returned to the playground at the Hamilton base, the power in the soul pool had been exhausted, and the number of Thundercast Soldiers had increased by more than two hundred. After letting go of the First Regiment of the First Division of the Duke's Guard, Rennes delivered a short triumphant speech in front of the soldiers, made some encouragement and awards, and once again harvested a wave of loyalty from the soldiers.

Then, the Star Destroyer lifted off and teleported to Dragon's Back Fort in the Principality of Augustus.

On the edge of the giant dragon forest, there is a barracks with similar layout and size. The second division of the Duke's Guard is trained here. There are also more than 2,000 soldiers who have formed a combat force and form the first regiment of the second division. They are on standby on the playground. .

Ryan picked up the regiment, and the Star Destroyer headed straight for the New World.

After more than an hour.

Another demon tribe in the Kurgos territory was destroyed, nearly 20,000 demons were eliminated, and the harvested souls were converted into electricity.

The number of Thundercast Heaven Soldiers has increased by more than two hundred.

Then came the First Regiment of the Third Division of the Duke's Guard in the Karanos Barracks, which also destroyed a tribe of demons with tens of thousands of people and harvested electricity for Rennes.

In one day, three of the larger Majin tribes were destroyed.

For the next half month, Ren sent the Duke's Guards to the battlefield every day, sending one regiment at a time, only attacking one demon tribe.

Rennes and the Ultramarines didn't take any action during the whole process, and the Duke's Guards fought alone. Their actual combat experience has grown rapidly, and their tactics have become more and more perfect. By giving full play to the advantages of weapons and equipment, it only takes ten thousand people to wipe out a demon tribe with tens of thousands of people. few minutes.

More than 20 tribes were destroyed one after another, and hundreds of thousands of demons died, which caused panic in the territory of Kurgos.

Korgos tried to fight back, but couldn't find the enemy.

Every time the champion of God's Chosen rushed to the battlefield with an army of demons, the Duke's guard had already left, only seeing the burning ruins of the tribe.

He also tried many times to ambush in the tribe, waiting for the Duke's guards to take the bait, but none of them succeeded.

This kind of trick is useless in front of Ren, and he can see through it at a glance. If it wasn't for Renn's unwillingness to kill Korgos for the time being, and his unwillingness to expose the existence of the Star Destroyer, as long as the main guns were fired, a single bombing would send the God's Chosen Champion and the entire tribe to the sky.

Killing too many demons in an instant, too many souls can't be absorbed, it's too wasteful.

It's better to keep the demons and kill them slowly, which can not only consume the battery calmly, but also train the Duke's guards and increase their combat experience.

Many demon tribes fled collectively to the south of the territory, but found that it was useless. The earrings of the Duke appeared irregularly. There was still a battle in the coastal area yesterday, and today another tribe was massacred in the west.

Even, if there are too many people on the way to escape, they will be attacked.

This blunt way of cutting flesh made Korges almost mad, but he had no choice but to watch helplessly as the number of people he ruled decreased day by day.

After more than a month.

The population in the Kurgos territory has decreased by 70%, leaving less than 500,000 people.

In a huge territory equivalent to two empire provinces, no tribe with more than 5,000 people could be found. Half of the more than 400,000 demons gathered in the territory ruled by Kurgess himself, which was once the "Elf Empire" Raleigh City".

The Star Destroyer hovered high above the sky.

Ren sat on the bridge, overlooking the demon tribe on the ground.

The houses made of rocks and logs stretch for more than ten miles. Outside the tribe is an endless plain. To the east, there is a low hilly area covered with dense forest. Just go through the forest and go forward. Baili is the east coast of the New World.

This tribe is Raleigh City.

During the period of the Elven Empire, Raleigh City didn't have many outstanding features, and its reputation was not great.

Its only advantage is its location, which is exactly at the midpoint of the eastern part of the New World, a necessary place connecting the north-south traffic arteries.

There is a high wall on the outside of Kurgos' tribe. Although it is very crude and only a dozen meters high, it seems that it was built urgently recently, but it is very generous and strong. If the Duke's guards attack from the ground, it will take a lot of effort to break through this wall. hands and feet.

There are also lines of defense inside the tribe, all of which are built of rocks and rammed soil blocks, and have been treated for fire prevention.

Many deep and long zigzag trenches were also dug on the ground outside the city wall, and iron horses and tall fences were erected.

These arrangements cannot stop the advance of the Duke's Guard, but they can consume ammunition.

At the same time, teams of abyssal knights spread out for ten miles, patrolling and investigating day and night. will break.

Ren looked at these fortifications and the deployment of troops, and couldn't help laughing.

War is indeed the greatest driving force for technological progress!

In just one month, the demons evolved from the most primitive kind of knight order to charge and fight, to understand how to deploy defenses, and barely reached the level of warfare in the 19th century on earth. Such fortifications combined with the powerful individual strength of the demons, if they were put on the battlefield of World War I, it would be impossible to attack without an army of more than ten times.

But in the face of the attack of the Duke's Guard, these messy and unsystematic fortifications have little effect.

Ren once again confirmed that there were no ambushes in and around the tribe.

Then issue the command:

"attack!"

All four hangar gates of the Star Destroyer were opened, fifteen armored warships took off, and all three regiments of the Duke's Guard were dispatched!
