my armed maid

Chapter 173 Chapter 170: Lei Xun Qing and Ji Mie Qing
After Bach complained, Nolen learned what happened in the previous battle.

In fact, at the beginning of the war, Flamel had already produced and armed a batch of first-generation tanks and promptly put them into battle with the combined rebels.

The ones who initially came into contact with Flamel were the traditional ground forces of the rebels:
They fight with highly mobile knights as the vanguard and ferocious mages as the rearguard.

When facing this kind of enemy, the tank troops achieved excellent results as expected.

The live ammunition main gun "Crow Feather" mounted on it can not only penetrate the shields and armor of knights, but also ignore the spell barriers of mages.

The tank's excellent alchemical armor and sixth-level defensive array can also withstand a wave of enemy attacks, and can forcefully achieve results against the enemy's frontal offensive.

For a time, the tank troops were invincible on the battlefield. After receiving a small alchemical shock, no troops in the rebel army dared to easily fight against the torrent of armor with their flesh and blood.

Such good news once excited Bach. If the rebels could be repelled, the name of Flamel and the tank would be completely established in the empire.

There is no need for Nolen and Linfeng City to make any further contributions. Flamel can single-handedly reverse the empire's poor impression of alchemists.

The empire will vigorously develop alchemy, and the salary of alchemists will be greatly increased.

Even if it is as strong as the eighth-level extraordinary, there is still a risk of death if it resists the attack of "Lightning Rod".

Even Flamel's troops with tanks began to retreat steadily, and eventually lost all their strongholds outside the city.

It can be said that this is the most powerful alchemical weapon in the old era of the empire. As long as it enters its range, both ground and air forces will be hit.

So, who will bear the price?
The weaker forces may be repulsed within a short period of time, while the stronger forces cherish their combat power even more, hoping to win without losing their wings.

Fortunately, there is also the Flamel Tower in Flamel. The Flamel Tower is not only the iconic landscape of Flamel, it really has the strength to compete with extraordinary power.

It is equipped with a defensive array group composed of different alchemical arrays, called "Lightning Rod", and its attack range covers the entire city of Flamel.

After detecting and locking an enemy, "Lightning Rod" can activate seven different types of high-level spells depending on the situation, among which the most powerful spell can reach level eight.

Although they do have several times the strength, it is possible to force a breakthrough, but with the "Lightning Rod" guarding them, their own side will inevitably pay a heavy price.

Even if a slope is built for the tank to drive up, so that it has a shooting angle for the air force, the hit rate of the tank's main gun is very impressive.

Because anti-aircraft purposes were not considered from the beginning of the design, the tank's main gun "Crow Feather" cannot set up a high anti-aircraft angle like an anti-aircraft gun.

Broken Star City's air force "Wind God Force" was dispatched.

At the same time, the external armor of the tank is thickest on the front and thinnest on the back and top. This is also a huge disadvantage when facing air forces.

Precisely because they were afraid of its power, the joint rebels were temporarily embarrassed after surrounding Flamel.

Once the unfolded spell barrier is destroyed, the relatively fragile alchemy armor on the back and top of the tank will not last long, and will soon be penetrated and defeated by spells falling from the sky.

Moreover, due to the rush of time, the gunner who controlled the main gun did not undergo a long period of shooting training and had insufficient shooting experience.

Now that the tank appears, this achievement seems to be just around the corner. How can he not be excited about it?
However, this good momentum did not last long. As the joint rebels gathered to regain their strength, the other side quickly made targeted strategies——

As the holy city of alchemy, Flamel's reputation will also rank among the top powers of the empire!
Having your own place in this extraordinary world - this is what Flamel, or generations of senior alchemists, have worked hard to achieve.

In this way, with the support of powerful air force, coupled with the continuous offensive of ground forces on the frontal battlefield...

But if it is placed in the air with three dimensions and faced with a well-trained veteran air force that deliberately dodges irregularly, this accuracy is not enough.

If you were on a flat surface on the ground battlefield, facing a large number of enemies coming, this half-hearted shooting accuracy would be barely enough.

As long as they avoid the tank's first wave of anti-aircraft fire, the Aeolian troops can poop on its head or go around to the rear to attack its back.

The essence of everyone participating in this rebellion is to want a better life, rather than just finding a difficult target to have a brainless explosion with.

It is also because of the protection of the "Lightning Rod" that Flamel has been able to survive the siege of the rebels until now.

From this point of view, compared to the new alchemical weapon tanks, it was the lightning rods from the old era that played the greatest role in this battle?
"It seems that the joint rebels are not monolithic."

After listening to Bach's description, Nolen thought for a moment and asked, "The main body of the combined rebel forces' combat power and speaker should be Broken Star City, right?"

"Exactly." Bach said.

"The strength of Broken Star City ranks among the top in the empire. Its city lord Samir is also on good terms with the Puppet King Rodrik. It is natural for them to command the coalition forces."

"Flamel retreated steadily only after Shattered Star City joined the battlefield." Nolen analyzed.

“In other words, it’s not that the tank is not strong, it’s that Broken Star City’s air power limits its performance.

"As long as he can defeat Broken Star City and its air power, Flamel can break through the rebel blockade——

"You don't even need to worry about it anymore. The United Rebels are not united. When the strongest Broken Star City is defeated, I think other forces will start to retreat."

"You mean..." A glint flashed in Bach's eyes, "Are you confident that you can defeat Broken Star City?"

Speaking of which, Nolen was also vigorously developing air power. Not only did he form an air force, he even built an air battleship.

Could it be that Linfeng City’s air force really has the strength to rival Broken Star City?

This is the veteran army of the empire led by the "War God of Wind" himself!

"Whether you can defeat him or not will only be known after comparing your combat power."

Nolen said calmly, "I remember that Flamel had a good relationship with Broken Star City before. You should know their details, right?"

"Of course." Bach thought for a moment.

"The "Wind War God" in Broken Star City is a ninth-level transcendent. Although he is very old, he is still alive and well.

"But it is impossible for him to participate in this battle, so there is no need to consider it." The same goes for Samir, the Lord of Broken Star City. Although he is a powerful eighth-level transcendent who is only one step away from the ninth level, he is in a high position and it is impossible for him to come to the battlefield in person.

"Therefore, based on the battle reports from the front line, there should be two strong men from Broken Star City leading and commanding the combined rebels.

"One of them is Albert Grimny, the leader of the Knights of Broken Star City and the eighth-level knight "Thunderbolt Lord".

"The second one is Agnar Grimni, the commander of the Fengshen troops in Broken Star City and the eighth-level mage "Lord of Annihilation". "

"'Qing Lei Xun' and 'Qing Nirvana'..." Nolen raised his brows slightly, "What's the meaning of these titles?" "

Bach explained: "Broken Star City is a city ruled by the Wind Whisperer Clan. Among the Wind Whisperers, only by passing the sky trial within the clan can one obtain the title of minister.

"You can simply understand it as one of the highest honors within the clan. Those who can win this title are all strong among the eighth-level strong ones.

"Currently, apart from the Wind War God himself, only City Lord Samir and these two have the title of minister."

"In fact, "Thunder Lord" Albert and "Nirvana Lord" Agnar are indeed much stronger than the average eighth level.

"Because Albert, the "Thunder Lord", is a lightning mage and knight, while Agnar, the "Nirvana Lord", is a wind and soul cultivator. "

"You are actually a dual cultivator?" Nolen's expression became slightly serious.

Among extraordinary people, there are indeed some outstanding ones who possess multiple extraordinary talents at the same time.

But generally speaking, even if they have multiple talents, in order to ensure the progress of their cultivation, many people will determine their cultivation direction and specialize in a transcendent path.

After all, if you bite off more than you can chew, if you spend twice as much energy exploring the two extraordinary powers, your cultivation progress will naturally be much slower than others.

Moreover, there will also be a kind of extraordinary talent that is very strong and can easily reach high levels;
But the other kind of extraordinary talent is very weak. Although it can be cultivated, it can only reach the fifth level.

In this case, abandoning weak talents and focusing on strong talents is undoubtedly the most efficient choice.

Unless some geniuses really possess multiple extremely high extraordinary talents, and they also happen to have the resources and energy to cultivate multiple extraordinary powers at the same time.

Once successful, such dual practitioners or even multiple practitioners will naturally have more powerful power than ordinary people of the same level.

At this moment, what we have to face is such a powerful dual cultivator, and there are even more than one such enemy.

In this way, with high-level combat power and military strength at a disadvantage, it is no wonder that Flamel was suppressed by Broken Star City and could not even get out of the city gate.

Not to mention Flamel, Linfeng City cannot defeat such a powerful enemy.

Although the power of the naval gun Meteor carried by the Crow's Nest can indeed cause a fatal blow to the eighth-level powerhouse, the premise is still the same -

Just hit the enemy.

In actual combat, once it is targeted by an opponent of this level, the time it takes for the opponent to move the barrel and prepare to fire is enough for the opponent to dismantle the Meteor several times.

"Otherwise, how can we say that the strength of Broken Star City is at the forefront of the empire?"

Bach lamented, "Although our alchemy has made great progress, when faced with powerful extraordinary beings, we still have to avoid their sharp edges."

But Nolen didn't take it seriously and said: "How many years have people's extraordinary power been passed down, how many years have our new alchemy weapons been developed, and how long have they gone?"

"Sooner or later, alchemy weapons will develop to the point where they can compete with them. Now we just have to do what we can.

"As for those so-and-so sirs, there will be other reinforcements to take care of them."

If you really want to compare the strength, Rosalia's power is not inferior to them.

Before setting off, Evelin had revealed to him that Reinhard was an eighth-level knight with dragon-human blood, so his strength was needless to say.

Rosalia is a descendant of the "Silver God of War", and her master is sitting on her boat with her.

Everyone has their own unique skills, who is not a genius?

Our imperial reinforcements are united with the rebels against you. Dear Sir, please don’t let me see you in Flamel!
If I see your hood pulled off, I will slap you in the face!
"Are there reinforcements?" Bach's heart moved.

Seeing Nolen's calm tone, his tense mood relaxed slightly.

"Well, don't worry." Nolen raised the corners of his lips and issued a confident declaration of victory.

"We will win."

Insomnia is getting worse and worse. I can't sleep even after taking sleeping pills, but I don't dare to increase the dose.

This mental state has lasted for three days. I can't write words. I have also asked for leave from work. I feel very tired just living.

It has reached a point where I have to seek medical treatment. I am going to see a psychiatrist tomorrow and have made an appointment for a full physical examination.

It’s been a difficult period. I’ll write a little more when my condition is a little better these days. I’m sorry to everyone who has been waiting for an update.

Speaking of which, today is my birthday. I didn’t expect that I would spend my birthday in this state this year.

Only QQ, bank and insurance sent me happy birthday wishes. Maybe this is life.

I won’t talk nonsense about emo anymore, everyone should have a happy life, and I will get back to the status quo as soon as possible.
