Chapter 446 Chapter 449 Bigger and Better
Following the Minutes of the Talk, Chapter 446 about Dagon The two books were also sorted out and began to be spread inside the temple and through the temple. The title of the book was "Give God to God and the World to the People - Dagon · Olison's Path of Divine Revelation".

According to Dagon's request, the wording of the whole book is as simple as possible, and each sentence is as short as possible, without using obscure rune, temple and spell terms, so as to facilitate understanding and dissemination. In the book, Dagon revealed to everyone the relationship between Spiritual God, divine force and believers, subverting the relationship of "God is good to people, so people need to worship God", and changed it to "Because people worship God, so God has the power. good to people".

It's certainly not as simple as speaking of which. I still remember that after Ori's funeral three months ago, when Dagon officially raised this point of view, the Ori Temple was immediately divided, and many priests said that this kind of tampering must not be accepted. They called Auli's name, performed the dive technique, and wanted to punish Dagon with Divine Punishment, but Auli ignored this prayer at all, so there was no dive technique that pointed to Dagon at all.

"This is not my own idea, but the common will of Oli and I." As soon as Dagon thought of it, he summed up the "forging hammer" and pointed to several priests, their diving technique Ability is deprived. With a serious expression and a stern tone, he said: "Everyone can believe in Ori in their own way, but the temple must act according to my will. There can be discussions inside, but the action outside the temple must be consistent. I want you all Study, but also require you to work, you can learn while working.”

The Divine Punishment refers to the ground hammer, and the priests finally fully understand who controls their spellcasting ability. However, Dagon didn't really deprive the priests of their divine force. He waved the hammer and gave them the ability to cast spells. "Aoli has handed over the responsibility of change to me, and the future of the temple to me. This is an unchangeable fact. You have time to discuss and study, but now, the only thing you can do and do is Follow my instructions to take the 1st Step."

I have to say that Dagon is forcing the reform of the temple, which is bound to cause turmoil. In particular, he asked the priests of the temple to change the focus of their work from praying and serving the lord to stepping into the people and serving everyone in need, which caused dissatisfaction among many priests. Some priests worried about the future of the temple, and immediately proposed to Dagon: "Without the support of the lord, the temple can't operate at all!" "Many lords will think that such a move means that the temple is trying to seize the dominion from them, do you want to Do the priests welcome the sword?"

Dagon, anticipating a voice like this, replied: "Understanding must be implemented, not understanding must be implemented, and then gradually understanding in the implementation. I complete the divine revelation. The trial of the road, and then hand over the divine force of the Lord Divine Grade to Ori, not to discuss with you, but to give you orders."

The priests of the Ori Temple were shocked by these words. Ran was speechless, because every word Dagon said was the truth. If they hadn't given Divine Force to Ori, the Dagon in front of them would be a Spiritual God, a Lord God. He can have his own believers and temples. Will the orders he gave to his temples and believers be questioned?

"I can understand your feelings, don't forget that I am also the priest of Oli." Dagon softened his tone and said to them: "You are wondering: what does such a young Jiangu clansman know? How did Li hand over the temple to him? But don't forget, although I am not a god, I understand everything a god should know. I know what I should do, the key is whether you know it. Now, the order has been issued, I'll watch you implement it."

It can be said that the reformation of the Auli Temple from the very beginning was pushed forward by pressure from the top down. The ground hammer is the guarantee of this forced will, but in the long run, the ground hammer alone is not enough - he must pay close attention to the construction of his own strength.

"An armed force is the foundation of action." Red's words were exactly what Dagon had in mind, and he wasn't without foundation in this regard. After returning from the Path of Revelation, the Wind Chaser Group saw Oli and Divine Vestige, and had no objection to Dagon's plan, becoming his trusted first team. In particular, Tormund came back from injury and became the tactical commander of the Wind Chasing Hunters again, which is even less worrying. So Dagon gave them the most important task: to build a musket-centric force and to form a battle strength as soon as possible.

The power of the musket in battle is obvious, and everyone is optimistic about the prospect of this weapon, but how to use it and how to implement it into the tactical arrangement and combat action level still needs to be carefully considered. At this time, Reid stood up and showed unprecedented enthusiasm. He patted his chest and made a ticket in front of the two "weapon masters", saying "everything is under control."

"There are three positions for shooting: standing, squatting, lying, they are all That's it." Rhett took the dwarf guy from Dagon and showed the pose to everyone.

Although he said it well, as soon as he picked up the gun, Rhett swayed, and his movements seemed very unskilled. For example, in a standing position, standing with two feet separated from each other, Rhett will hesitate for which foot is in front. Dagon immediately noticed this and asked, "Have you never taken a gun?"

"I really didn't take it with my own hands, I just watched someone else use it - why is this gun so heavy?" Reid The arm was forced to level the gun, and within half a minute, the body slowly leaned back under the pressure, and the posture was immediately out of shape. "Huh... I only know the theory, but I haven't used it in practice. It seems that I'm still struggling!" With his strength, it was easy and flat, and it was exactly what Rhett had before. "Since you know the theory, then you can talk about it, why do you use such a posture."

In fact, if you really want to speak of which, Rhett can't tell much truth, and most of them rely on their own adaptability ability to count. Dagon and Tormund are proficient in the martial skill, and their eyes are so sinister, they immediately see that Rhett is somehow guilty. However, the truths he said are all close to each other, at least it has the effect of enlightenment and association. Combined with Jiangu clansman's battle skill of using a heavy crossbow, the two can also conclude some truths.

"This is the exact opposite of using a heavy crossbow. The crossbow string is a forward impact and has an impulse to leave the hand, while the musket is a backward impact, so the posture must be considered." Tormund He picked up the musket and gestured, and said: "Oh, I understand, Rhett started out with human physical conditions to buffer the impact of the musket, and also took the aiming action into account. But that impact is not even for Jiangu warriors. It doesn't make much difference how to hold a gun."

"Yes, you guys have big arms and thick waists, each one is like a solid balloon, you don't need to care about the recoil." Reid shook his finger, talking. Turning around, he said: "But you are all just single-shot muskets now. If you develop in the future, the muskets can be fired continuously, such as three hundred bullets in one minute. Can you still say that all Jiangu clansman can hold up?"

Dagon nodded and said: "I can hold it, the weapon master can hold it, but others may not. Reid is right. The musket is for everyone to use, not The Divine Weapon is only used by the weapon master, so the tactical action should consider the tolerance of the ordinary person. I think that everyone has to shoot with a gun, so find the most reasonable one, and follow this. Unity only has strength! "

Reid said: "I call this the "Infantry Exercise Code", which means the operation model. It is probably a book with pictures and explanations on it, which is used to train new recruits. Hehe, Kind of like your Minutes of Conversation. I read that book, and the latest edition now has your portrait - just not quite like it."

"I've had them take the portrait Removed. Words are enough, looking for portraits is purely to increase the cost and reduce the number of books."

"You should use printing, even if you don't need movable type printing, engraving can also be done!" Reid sighed, Shrug.

"Professor Dongdong has set up a spell class, where students will use spell to copy books. The speed is enough for the time being. I also know what you said about printing is very important, but we lack craftsmen." Dagon scratched his beard and said: "Now all the craftsmen are focusing on improving the production technology of firearms and ammunition, reducing costs, reducing processes, ensuring power while increasing production... They are also under great pressure. Printing and Compared with weapons, do we have to study weapons first?"

"That's right, everything has to come first. Without digressing, I'll show you all the moves I know. Sequence It may not be right, but the meaning is probably right.”

The three positions of aiming the gun are static, and what is more critical is actually the dynamic, that is, how the man and the gun should act together. Rhett had never been a soldier - which he admits is a huge regret in his life - and he can only reproduce as much as he can from what he has seen from various sources.

"There is a rope on the gun and it is slung across the shoulder. This is probably only comfortable for humans." Tormund found the rope and tried it, and said: "Our Jiangu clansman is wider, and the musket is also wide. It is relatively long, and it is better to continue to hold the spear. However, his crawling forward movement is very interesting. The elbow is in front and the other hand is behind to control the weapon. The elbow and the legs form a three-point support... ...But why do you crawl? Do you want to avoid arrows?"

"Hide bullets...the opposite will... er, it seems that there will be no bullets on the opposite side." Reid felt a little embarrassed and said: "Look These actions of coming to me are formed in different battlefield environments, and may not be suitable for you. By the way, what kind of threats do you mainly face on the battlefield?"

"If you have a shield in your hand, Then the threat of arrows will be less. In general, cavalry charges and spell bombing are the greatest threat to the formation." Tormund said: "The category of cavalry charges also includes wild beast charges, which I have faced. Mammoth. When it comes, there is no front to stay in place, and it must be dispersed immediately."

A bead of sweat dripped from Rhett's forehead, and he imagined the image of the mammoth charging his face, Suddenly there was no hope of victory.

"spell is also very annoying, especially when there is no sorcerer on your side. The most common threat is Fireball, analogous to ice storm or rockfall, which is very big for formation troops. Threat."

After listening to Tormund's words, Rhett blinked and immediately had an idea. "I understand, the tactical stages are different. I will directly show the results of the final development, which is definitely not suitable for the actual situation. I might as well tell you about the development history of muskets and musket tactics! You are all weapon masters, and you will definitely be able to figure it out. Something to come."

"Dagon..." Tormund asked, "Where did this friend of yours come from to teach Jiangu clansman history?"

" He's not from this world." Dagon couldn't say that Rhett had always lived in his soul, so he said: "I 'get' him out of the way of divine revelation, and we have a relationship of fate."

"Oh... it turns out that you are also a trialist of the road of enlightenment. Disrespectful and disrespectful. Since it is a fatal relationship, as a father, I must first thank you for your concern and care for Dagon."

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Reid waved his hand, accepted the thanks rudely, and immediately turned the topic back. "The earliest muskets were loaded from the front. Gunpowder and bullets were separate, and you needed to take a pole to stab it. At that time, shooting was not accurate, so everyone needed to form a tight array, give an order, and fire at the same time..."

Ryder narrated and danced and demonstrated, showing the capabilities and related tactics of firearms in different periods. He did not forget to describe the opponents of the musket and the battlefield environment, which helped Dagon to have a more comprehensive grasp of the situation at the time. The two weapon masters also kept asking questions, and Rhett added details based on these questions. At the same time, he was also inspired by these questions, he better understood the considerations of tactical actions, and gradually understood which information was more critical.

Three cobblers topped Zhuge Liang, these three people got together and at least played a 1+1+1>3 effect. Although Rhett has neither battlefield experience nor knowledge of martial skill, Tormund's battlefield experience is sufficient, and he has a say in how Dagon uses a musket in his battle with the Spirit King escort, and how the musket and martial skill are combined. The three of them combined their thoughts, started discussions, and kept colliding with each other...

"Actually, what we lack is not how to shoot with a gun, but a lack of cannons." Tormund pointed out the real key to the problem. "With the big gun, we can form an advantage on the battlefield. The musket can only form an advantage in close-range combat. With the gun, it may not be necessary to enter the stage of musket shooting, and the outcome is already determined."

"I feel the same way." Dagon said: "The musket can decide the outcome of two people, and the artillery can decide the outcome of the two armies. With only guns and no cannons, as a warrior or bodyguard, In other words, it is more than enough to be a weapon master. At the same time, if you have guns, then you can call a complete army."

"Don't forget the logistics part that serves the gun army. Beginners look at weapons, Veterans look at logistics - gun wars are logistics." Reid said with a confident smile.

"There is no need to worry about this at the moment, because in general, after the use of muskets, the logistical pressure is less." Tormund said: "Bullets are expensive, but from the perspective of handling and storage, It's easier than arrows and crossbows, right? And the outcome of the battle is clearer than before. The advantage of weapon power can completely reduce the effect of armor. The enemy will fall with one shot, and there is no need for armor to provide continuous combat capability. Especially with artillery , can completely suppress the opposing long-range firepower, whether it is arrows or spells, the biggest threat can be removed..."

Dagon said: "It can't be said that it is completely removed, and artillery is not omnipotent. "

"Of course it's not omnipotent. There is no certain thing on the battlefield. I'm talking about the general situation. There will definitely be various sudden occurances, and losses will inevitably occur. There is no battlefield without death. Yes." Tormund said: "But don't forget the temple! The healing ability provided by the temple priest can greatly reduce the loss, the serious injury becomes lighter, the minor injury disappears, it is better to be disabled than to die directly. Dagon, always remember the battlefield It's a lasting, long-term thing, and advantages take time to accumulate, and they can only be gained through continuous accumulation."

"I keep that in mind." Dagon bit his lip at this time. , looked down.

"What, have something on your mind?" Tormund put his hand on Dagon's shoulder, squeezed lightly, and said, "What's on your mind, tell me, let's discuss it together?"

Dagon look left and right. There were only three of them in the room. There was Saree standing guard outside the door, and the direction of the window was guarded by Star Helm. It was safe enough. So Dagon said: "The spellcasting ability of the Ori priest will continue to decline, and the healing spell will not be as good as it is now. I am worried that this change will seriously affect the morale and battle strength, and even affect the integrity of the temple."

Tormund was startled and hurriedly asked: "Why does it keep falling, is something wrong with Oli?"

"The Temple of Oli will become Pantheon, and then become The Ancestral Hall, Oli will definitely be affected. My agreement with him is actually deeper than the "Conversation Minutes", so he needs a lot of diving force to support this period of change. Oli is very determined, and so is mine Great, but I'm not sure other people can form that determination."

Reid snorted, with a big hand, and said, "Worry about it! All you have to do is provide peace, prosperity, equality, happiness. life, you will have followers. You are thinking about several decades or a hundred years later, it is too far! Step by step It is not easy to walk the road now! By the way, let's..."

"No, don't interrupt! The changes in the Temple of Oli will have a huge impact on Jiangu clansman's life and thinking. If the ability of diving technique declines, it may be an underestimate to say that it is a strong impact. Tormund said, "Dagon, what's going on?" "

"The trial of the road to enlightenment is to learn how to be a god." I walked around the Divine Pagoda in my final trial, absorbing the dive force, and with a lot of insights, they led me to discover a secret: the dive technique is a waste. "

Tormund frowned tightly: "Nonsense!" What is the divine technique wasting? "

Dagon flipped through his pocket and took out the satiety spoon he found in the Jiangu City Secret Road, and said: "This item combines the dive technique and the rune technique, and you can get enough mana by supplying it with mana. Food for several people. divine technique energy and mana are generated through prayer, meditation and mana cycles, and if those jobs are used for production, more food can be produced. That's what I call waste. "

"Are those productions that allow you to take a spoon and get food straight from it?" "Tormond said.

"From a single item perspective, the dive technique is very convenient. Once the Jiangu family as a whole, or even the entire world, is considered, this is a waste. Although there is no detailed calculation and no practical verification, I dare not say it is correct - but I have a feeling that if we pray less and meditate more, and go to work, study and research, we will be more prosperous, developed, and even more prosperous than we are now. To the point where the Divine Technique product of the satiety spoon is no longer needed at all. Everyone doesn't worry about running out of food, and this spoon is useless, right? "

"It's a good idea, but it's too difficult." We Jiangu clansman have always worked hard to get enough to eat, and things that can be eaten casually are as unreal as a dream. Tormund laughted and said: "After all, if you can eat whatever you want, then everyone will have no reason to fight, but it's not a good thing. ”

“Don’t worry about getting enough food, you can also have other goals to strive for. "

Tormund shook his head and said: "Reid is right, you think too far, let's go step by step." It seems that the things you think about cannot be solved by you alone, nor are you capable of starting to solve them now. And I still feel that there is no necessary connection between the development of Jiangu clansman and the decline of the divide technique and the gradual ineffectiveness of treatment incantation. "

"Maybe you're right." Dagon scratched his scalp vigorously, took a few deep breaths, and then said, "I don't know what's going on. I've been thinking about some bad things recently, and my mind can't calm down. It seemed like there were two voices in my heart, one said to me that things were going well, and the other said to me that the worst was coming. "

Reid hurriedly said: "Is it because you let me out? It stands to reason that you should not have a second voice in your heart now. ”

“Soul Spirit’s middle realm is empty, and there really is no one else. I used the dive technique to check myself, and I asked Shiloai to check with the incantation, but I didn’t find any problems. Dagon also felt very helpless. "My current situation is also impossible to go to the temple priest to check, so... alas, I don't know what to do. "

"Son, maybe you're just under a lot of pressure and you're not quite used to it yet." After all, if you have the future and work of the entire Ori Temple on your shoulders, and you have to consider the fate of the Jiangu family, you will definitely be a little anxious. But this is like the pressure before the battle begins. As long as you focus on the things in front of you and solve problems one by one, the pressure will gradually decrease. " Tormund said: "The other key is to stay focused, reduce distractions, and eliminate distractions. You are still young, and youth is your greatest asset. "

Dagon nods, write down these words, and digest them slowly. It's just that Reid has other thoughts, he said: "Dagon, are you still a believer of Li now?" "

"Yeah, I'm still the priest of Auli." "

"That's not right! "Reid said: "When you become a god, you are not a priest of other gods, right?" Although you gave up the dive force, that doesn't mean you can regain the dive technique, right? Could your problem lie here, is there something wrong with your dive technique ability? I always find it weird that you still have the ability to cast spells in the dive technique. "

"But I still believe in Ori..." Dagon scratched his head.

"You may need to rethink this, because..." Reid said: " Ori may not be qualified to accept you as a believer. It's time for you to find yourself a source for a new dive technique..."
