Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 12: It can be considered that there are spoils of war
Yoon's analysis of the rebellious mountain people is well founded.
Lai'anling has been a sacred place for mountain people since ancient times. From the perspective of the imperial people, the water and soil in this place are suitable for growing psionic plants. It is a rare planting area rich in resources, especially around Lai'an Lake. The surrounding land is covered by natural spiritual energy fields, even if it is just living in it, it may increase the adaptability of the source quality.
So whether it is the rebellious mountain people or the Xuanfeng tribe, they all want to take this place as their own first, and no matter which side succeeds, it will be the meat of the mountain people themselves in the end. The center of the Ministry is not here.
But Yin En came, and as the people of the empire, Yin En ruled this place... that must be unacceptable.
The reason why the mountain people can't accept it is very simple. The reason why Feiyandi can't accept it is because Laianling is actually one of the nearest entrances and exits to the Agate Stone Plain around the Midra Autonomous Region.
Looking at the map, you can see that if the Moldor and Aldo colonies located in the northwest of Nanling want to follow the road to the core city circle of the empire on the east side of Nanling, they must go to the Hal Basin in the southeast, and then Head east to Midra Autonomous Region.
As for the Midra Autonomous Region, if you want to go to the Agate Stone Plain, you have three options. The first one is to go through the Guyan Peak Gap, and then pass through Lai'an City. The road is smooth.
The second option is to go south to Mirakland, pass through the Moorbush Gap, and after crossing the river, you will come to the Agate Stone Plain.
The last option is to turn over a mountain in the north, and then follow the mountain path to the north side of the agate stone plain around Nauman City.
Of course, there are many trails besides this. For example, the troops gathered in the Totaku Basin on the northeast side of the Odor colony. All the way to the edge of the golden plain above the city of Nauman.
It was actually the road most commonly used by the mountain people in the past, because the current Agate Stone Plain was actually a dense coastal jungle in the past.
All in all, the mountain people seem to have many choices, but they must try to take back Lai'anling. Whether it is from the sense of belief in the Holy Land or from a convenient strategic point of view, they must try Yin En. Is the nail hard or not?
The Marquis of Barton gave Yin En such great support, and he also hoped that Yin En could block the vanguard of the mountain people and delay a little time.
Anyway, the high-level combat power of the mountain people, whether it is Feiyandi or the group of steel pterosaurs, is restrained. Touched the **** head.
As for whether the mountain people will continue to try this way in the future, it depends on whether Yin En can hurt them—that is to say, this is within the scope of Yin En's personal ability.
Yin En is also very aware of this, and he 100% does not believe that the residents who come to Anling are of one mind with him.
Half of the residents in Lai'an are mountain people, and their trust in the empire is not high. Now I just let them feel that "this lord can be dealt with, let him rule." As long as the mountain people have the upper hand, these It would be as simple as drinking water for people to turn against each other.
After all, the residents of the border cities in the border provinces of the empire cannot be required to serve the country wholeheartedly... This is unrealistic. It is better to say that this is the normal state of war on the Terra continent. How can there be so much passionate nationalism? and national spirit.
"We have to win. If we win, the people will follow us. If we don't win, no one will feel at ease. Don't think that you are the lord, and the people will support you."
Yin En said this to Scott: "Instead of electing a group of militiamen who don't know their loyalty in Lai'an City, which has long been afraid of war, it is better to wait for the Marquis of Barton and the Boin Workshop The 'reinforcements' from the side and Qingchao brought over, the real reinforcements."
"My lord, Qing Chao may bring a group of Port Harrison mercenaries, I know..."
Scott was a little puzzled: "But the Marquis... You said that we can recruit as many people as we can, but they don't give us people?"
"Aren't the mercenaries in Port Harrison the private soldiers of the Viscount who exceeds the establishment?"
Yin En's eyes flickered, he looked at the workshop area in front of him, and the corner of his mouth curled up: "And the soldiers who the Marquis escorted my grain delivery convoy... Aren't they just used to support my reinforcements?"
"Although they may not think so, since they have arrived in my territory, they are reluctantly recruited temporarily."
——Then, arm them with brand new weapons and equipment.
Yin En, who led the team to the workshop area, immediately ordered the head of the local workshop to come to see him. This middle-aged bald mechanic named Amber really looked very reliable, and he knew he was capable at first glance. .
He heard Yin En's request, and when he called almost all the skilled workers and alchemists to gather before evening, he couldn't help but find himself in trouble.
"My lord, I will do my best to complete your instruction, but there are two difficulties in this task."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he knew that they were pure technicians, the kind with no political elements at all. Amber bluntly said to Yin En: "First, although we have a list of relevant technicians, after the death of the previous lord The workshop has been closed for a long time... In the past six months, many people have been poached or moved away, and I can't guarantee that all of them will be found."
"Second, you asked to start working now, which is really a bit difficult-the rebel mountain people removed all the raw materials of elemental crystallization and alchemy furnaces, and we only have the most basic metal materials left. It's work... I don't know what to do."
These two questions are indeed the most practical questions.
Naturally, Yin En would not get angry because the reality did not conform to his instructions, and would accuse the craftsmen of being unfavorable in doing things—he is a technician himself, and he doesn't know the principle of seeking truth from facts in engineering and tasks?
The first question doesn’t really matter, because Yin En doesn’t need a full set of manpower in the workshop, as long as he has a little operating experience, so he asked Amber to find as many people as he can, and the guards will follow him to catch them. , when the time comes to make a new list, you can get more food.
For the second question, Yin En asked in detail how many materials are left in the current alchemy workshop, and he couldn't help frowning after getting the answer that 'almost all sublimation materials are exhausted'.
This is indeed a problem.
The scientific name of what Yin En wants to start the alchemy workshop on earth is 'exoskeleton power armor'.
In Terra Continent, this kind of armor actually has a very simple name 'sublimation armor'.
Such as the standard armor of the air-wrapping armor and the patrolling knight, they all have a little power. They are a kind of equipment between normal armor and armor. They are often used by all kinds of adventurers and explorers to explore mazes. Used at the time - after all, the armor is strong, but in terms of battery life and size, it is still difficult to use.
As for sublimated armor, the problem in this aspect is relatively small.
However, the power armor Yin En wants to build is actually slightly different from the sublimated armor.
Sublimation armor is essentially sublimated. Its automatic power is not used to drive the armor, but to activate some kind of sublimation ability, such as the accessory of the jet flight of the air-wrapping armor—— For example, the magnetic sand armor of the Magneto-Optical Knight does have self-motivation, but it needs the sublimator to use more and more source quality to drive it to exert its real combat power.
In essence, the sublimation armor is a small armor with the sublimation as the power core.
But the power armor that Yin En wants to make is something with self-motivation, even if the operator is an ordinary person, it can exert greater power, and even a part of sublimation ability.
Obviously, this design idea is very weird - instead of arming a group of ordinary people with a little sublimation ability, it is better to directly strengthen a sublimator!
The latter can obviously chop the former, can't it?
This is the truth, but Yin En has a plan. He planned to reorganize the army system in his territory from the very beginning, and with the exoskeleton armor he designed by combining Earth technology and Terra technology, the number of people More than one, may not be able to pose a threat to the sublimator.
And the most important thing is that it can deal a dimensionality reduction blow to the enemy's regular troops that is the same as that of a sublimator.
——Yes, my soldiers can't beat the Ascendant...but your soldiers can't beat the Ascendant, but also my soldiers!
As long as Yin En can guarantee that he can defeat the enemy's ascendant, won't the result be that he will crush the enemy in all aspects?
It's just that if there are no raw materials, no matter how good the plan is, it will be useless.
"My lord, if what you want to make is this kind of sublimated armor..."
At this moment, Amber is flipping through a stack of design drawings given by Yin En. A set of huge, bulky, thick and ferocious armor similar to a diving suit gradually emerged in his mind. It's easy to say, but we don't have the 'flare chip' of the Armed Forces."
The hairless golden boy, the slightly wrinkled Jin Zhimin craftsman raised his head and said to Yin En seriously: "You want to create a kind of scorching rays that can be fired continuously...or, in other words, light prisms Ray's sublimation armor, right? This is indeed an extremely powerful weapon, but if you want to deal with the enemy, it is definitely not a good thing to adopt the same weapon design."
"Moreover, we don't have any medicine raw materials that can be used as raw materials for its weapons... We only have pure Xiahui grass extract left here. In other words, even if it is to replace a new weapon system , we must also have the raw materials for this weapon system, and it must only be activated with the source quality of the Xiahui grass extract."
"That's it."
Yin En was also a little worried. He did carry some raw materials with him, but the quantity was obviously not enough to equip an army. Compared with the power armor, it was safest to ensure the ammunition of the rechargeable rifle first.
To be honest, the ammunition of the rechargeable rifle was consumed by nearly half in just one battle yesterday. This is also one of the shortcomings of sublimation armor and alchemy equipment. Compared with the supply of conventional weapons, they want to continue fighting , even an alchemist lord like Yin En is difficult to maintain.
—Is it possible to wait for the next batch of supplies from Nauman City?
Yin En thought so, but in this case, he would owe the Marquis of Barton a favor. Although this is not a big deal, but that kind of eagle owl, if he can't get involved with this kind of relationship, he won't get involved.
But at this moment, Scott came over and whispered to Yin En: "My lord, have you forgotten your spoils?"
Yin En raised his eyebrows: "What spoils?"
Scott was lost in the lake instead: "It is the spoils left by the three mountain leaders you killed yesterday - Kari Yamaguchi was replenished by our soldiers after the battle, and Xisang Jiangu was killed by our soldiers. You burned your upper body, and Martin Xuanfeng was directly incinerated by your armored main gun...but didn't their weapons stay?"
"Karui's half-handled mace, Xisang's lightning bow, Martin's thunderous great sword... and that dragon **** ring, you said yesterday that you put it in the castle, wait Do you have time to watch it?"
"Oh!" Yin En was stunned, because killing those three people was a bit too fast, he subconsciously divided the other party into the area of 'turned into fly ash', and did not expect that the other party would have something left: "I didn't expect to be able to survive the light prism. These weapons are a bit powerful."
It seems that I still made an empirical mistake, mistakenly thinking that there will be no spoils under the light prism, but there are all kinds of strange strength materials in Terra.
A windfall.
"Can sublimation materials that have been used as weapons be used as raw materials again?"
Yin En turned his head and asked the stunned craftsman Amber.
"Well, of course, my lord..."
Amble was completely stunned, and he said euphemistically: "But what about recasting the already formed sublimation weapons into raw materials... It's a bit wasteful, it's a waste of money... That kind of weapon , Lord Lord, if you use it yourself, it must be better than our soldiers using this kind of armor..."
Yin En shook his head: "I'll just ask if you can."
"Theoretically yes."
Amble hesitated for a moment, because his sense of responsibility as a craftsman prevented him from agreeing immediately: "But I want to see the situation of those weapons, my lord."
Ten minutes later, the weapons arrived.
A huge sword nearly three meters high, a thunder bow, and a half-melted crystal iron club.
