Chapter 68 Inspection
At the moment of being absorbed by the light flow, the system interface popped up.
‘Please select your goal:’
‘Scheme: Hunting, obtain the location of all monster infantry and behemoths in a radius of 40 kilometers (one-time). ’
‘Scheme: Hold on, the construction speed of fortifications is increased by 10%, and the construction speed of engineering troops is increased by an additional 10%, and you can get an additional defensive building in your territory. ’
‘Scheme: Expedition, provide 20 days of high-energy compressed food supplies. ’
‘This exercise battlefield lasts for 90-120 days, please pay attention to planning your own supplies. ’
Three schemes, three routes, hunting corresponds to the execution of hunting monsters, which is the task goal in the exercise battlefield, holding on corresponds to the defense of farming civilization, and expedition corresponds to the plunder of nomadic civilization and pre-military regime.
Lords who invest resources in military construction will verify their development results in this mode. Lords who focus on pure farming development will encounter severe tests. The 10% resources used to build buildings in the territory are not a small number.
Maybe there will be farming lords who want to find NPCs to send them directly to save their resources.
Resources will be deducted, and the system will directly swallow up your resources.
He has no engineer troops, and temporary defense buildings are useless to him. His current troop composition is too unsuitable for defense.
A combination of long-range infantry and heavy cavalry.
In the exercise battlefield, it is impossible to obtain the system's rapid construction support. It is necessary to rely on the engineer troops to build fortifications and defense towers in the exercise battlefield. These temporary defense towers will play an excellent defensive role.
An engineer unit can build a variety of temporary defense buildings. It is a must-have type of troops that can significantly increase the garrison capacity of the army. The only disadvantage is that it is difficult to produce a special type of engineer in the early era except for the dwarves.
After these temporary buildings appear in the colonial era, they will be directly added to the lords' colonial queues, which is another story.
The 20-day supply given by the expedition... Each soldier entering the exercise battlefield carries limited resources. Every 30 days, he can obtain combat supplies from his own territory, replenishing food, ammunition and damaged equipment.
If the army carries too much supplies, its movement will be bloated. If it carries too little supplies, its endurance will be poor. The 20-day high-energy food supply provided by the expedition can greatly reduce the carrying space. It allows a unit to maintain basic supply capacity while moving at high speed.
He chose hunting.
The musketeers that Ji Lin is carrying now have super high armor penetration and single-shot output. When they fight against conventional troops, the power of the heavy musket can directly break even the shield. The only disadvantage is slow reloading. When fighting against a small number of monster infantry, all they need to do is to kill them with one volley, and there is no need to consider the reloading problem.
The monster infantry that will appear in the Empire (Feudal) Era can be hunted without injury as long as he is not unlucky enough to encounter a spirit unit.
‘The choice is complete, please be prepared to arrive...’
Close your eyes.
Landing.
His feet stepped on the soft grass, and the breeze blew across his cheeks again. He had left the preparation area and officially entered the exercise battlefield. The hundreds of lords in the preparation area before will start a long battle on this wild plain.
and monsters, and NPCs... and other lords.
Behind him, two hero units each put on gray-black uniforms, one was Chang Heng who led the army to fight, and the other was the dean who provided maintenance for the equipment. It was a bit of a waste of talent to let a dean be responsible for maintenance work, but the territory lacked talent.
It would be great if a team of mechanics could be pulled out to do maintenance.
The musketeers wearing iron-gray steel breastplates and carrying heavy muskets also walked out of the light stream one by one, and behind them were the light crossbow shooters carrying short spears and holding light crossbows.
The light crossbow did not have close combat capabilities, nor could it be equipped with bayonets to launch bayonet charges like the musketeers. Ji Lin could only prepare a short spear for each of them in case of emergency.
He hoped that his long-range infantry would never have to use bayonets and short spears.
Hunting spiders as tall as human calves crawled out of the light stream in groups, and lined up in a not-so-tidily group under Chang Heng's whistle command. They were more active than usual after returning to the wild world.
Until a hoarse, unstable mechanical sound came out from the light stream.
"Woo! Boom!"
Ji Lin had heard this sound before. It was the horrible sound that the steam spiders that killed people in the Steam and Steel dungeon would make when they moved. With the dull sound of steel friction, they relied on hydraulic transmission and micro-repulsion runes to rotate their joint legs as high as a person.
The steam spiders, which were obviously temporarily installed with several protective plates hanging on their bodies, swayed and stepped on their six legs and landed on the ground. Every movement would leave a small concave pit on the soft mud due to their own weight. The six joint legs dispersed the weight at the same time so that it would not be pressed into the mud by its own weight and difficult to move.
Even the disciplined musketeers could not help but slightly make way for these monster infantrymen who were constantly breathing steel - even though they were more than five meters apart.
They walked out step by step with leisurely steps, lined up in a neat row, then slowly retracted their six pointed feet and crawled on the green field to standby.
A wave spread out with him as the center, marking all the monster infantry and behemoth units within 40 kilometers. The system marked all, which meant that the behemoths and monster infantry of the lord and NPC would also be displayed on the map together.
The value of information is infinite. Even so, it marked the possible dangers within his 40-kilometer radius for him, giving him time to prepare and a plan to deal with it.
There are a total of 27 monster infantry settlements and two behemoth units within a 40-kilometer radius.
Very good.
He will first find the nearest monster infantry to start with.
Or, find another lord to try the power of these mobile water boiler rooms. It is a small regret that he has not commanded this kind of monster impact cavalry in the previous copy.
Any unit that is several times larger than a horse can be called a monster (or monster). They have different postures and strange abilities, but they are rare. They may be the creation of civilization or the choice of nature. In short, these things are controlled by the lords to become a member of their own troops.
Different monster auxiliary troops will also be their own characteristics.
[Steam Spider (Monster Shock Cavalry)]
[Melee Defense]: 15
[Movement Speed]: 35km/h
[Armor Strength]: 50 (70-20)
[Weapon Power]: 140 (165-25)
[Features]: Steam Jet, Unstable Boiler, Never Defeated, Shock the Enemy, Anti-Infantry Units, Charge, Formation Destroyer.
Temporary Structure: This unit is not the final design, and has defects in attributes, and the failure rate is higher than that of the finalized units.
[Please pay attention to the usage specifications, stay at least 15 meters away from it after the battle begins! Be careful of explosions! ]
(It is still an introduction to the unit that does not take up the updated word count, and some things have been slightly updated, so I won’t bother you to flip forward.)
Compared to the normal version of the Steam Spider, it has 20 points less armor strength and 25 points less weapon power. Even with seriously unqualified steel quality, it can still have 50 armor strength. Ji Lin is already quite satisfied. It is quite difficult for ordinary long-range weapons to penetrate it with their own kinetic energy.
The 25-point weapon power loss is concentrated on the fact that the temperature and pressure in the boiler are not high enough, and the steam ejected has a loss of killing power.
The movement speed of 35km/h is enough for it to avoid most projectiles, and it can still take the overload boiler to launch a destructive charge when necessary.
As for melee... Sorry, you don't want this thing to walk into your melee attack range.
This means that it will also launch its own attack, with continuous high-temperature steam mixed with boiling water.
Ji Lin led his army and moved towards the map mark closest to him.
(Due to demand, I may write more about the performance of other populations in the Empire (Feudal) era, and the audience will just enjoy it.)
