As the Floating City of Plantia officially carried out its first cross-time and space teleportation, and began to unscrupulously drop and test various weapons with terrifying destructive power on top of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, this magic or technology was completely ignored.
The developed world has brought unprecedented shock.
Whether it is the dragon army flying in groups in the sky;
They are still those aircraft that cannot be named but can carry out large-scale carpet bombing on the ground from high altitude;
Or it can easily fire an electromagnetic gun for dozens or even hundreds of kilometers;
All of them are far beyond the limits of their imagination, and they are as invincible as the devil.
The most important thing is that the huge floating city stands above the forest that has been burnt to a charred black. Anyone who is not blind can see it from a long distance, and its presence and intimidation are overwhelming.
What's more, these local aborigines can't even withstand the cheap undead cannon fodder made by Old Bones, so how can they not feel awe and fear of this mysterious force that has demonstrated unrivaled power?
The only thing that comforted the surrounding human countries was that these people rescued the remaining soldiers and troops of their country when they were almost wiped out that night, which was obviously a friendly signal.
Moreover, the largest number of races among players is still humans and mixed-race humans, which can barely be regarded as a regime with humans as the main body.
This also means that the Theocracy, which adheres to the ideas and policies of "human supremacy" and "fighting for the land under the sun for the entire ethnic group with the sword," will not be hostile to it.
Quite the opposite!
They even feel that this is simply an opportunity falling from the sky. They can cooperate with them to drive out all those damn non-human intelligent creatures. It is best to expand the living space of the human race ten times.
As for who owns the land obtained through war, conquest, plunder and killing, and what kind of country it will form, the priests actually don't care at all, as long as it belongs to the human race.
To a certain extent, the Theocracy is the purest country without any selfish motives, and all its actions are to protect the continuation and development of the entire human race.
After all, in the country's books, it is clearly recorded that before the arrival of the first batch of players, the "Six Gods", the human beings in this world were wantonly slaughtered, enslaved, and used as food and livestock by other powerful races.
It is precisely because of this that the Theocracy hates non-human races far more than any other human country, and even adheres to a strong retaliatory tendency to massacre them mercilessly.
In contrast, after listening to the reports of his knights, the young and wise Blood Emperor of the Bajas Empire felt extremely frightened by this force that had suddenly appeared and possessed overwhelming destructive power. He had nightmares for several days in a row.
Awakened, he finally thought about it and decided to send an envoy to send a diplomatic note, intending to go to the Floating City in person for contact and negotiation.
Whenever the other party reveals the slightest intention to annex and occupy his country, this smart ruler will not hesitate to choose to surrender in exchange for his own life and the continuation of his family.
After all, the huge crater that was blasted out at the entrance to the Great Tomb of Nazarick always reminds everyone who sees it what kind of power the Floating City of Plantia holds.
Such powerful weapons can no longer be compensated by quantity.
The Blood Emperor has no doubt that even if he mobilizes the whole country and recruits all the most elite legions, the other party can tear them into pieces and eliminate them within a few minutes.
In the face of absolute power, the best way to deal with it is to assume the humblest and most submissive posture, so that the strong will be embarrassed to be cruel to you.
Moreover, he felt that since the owner of the Floating City possessed such powerful force, he could not be a good man or woman.
Therefore, before departure, a series of terms including ceding land, paying tribute, becoming a vassal, etc. were signed.
Gilknifer is a typical cold and rational ruler who doesn't care about things like face, dignity, reputation, etc. He only cares about actual interests.
Therefore, after he first came to power, he could not hesitate to raise a butcher's knife against his brothers, sisters and even his mother, and decisively suppressed the nobles with black hands, concentrating all power to implement reforms.
Sitting on a luxurious royal carriage, this young man in his early twenties was sitting on a chair with a gloomy face, looking out through the window.
He could clearly see that after entering this forest, something would fly by in the sky from time to time, sometimes it was a roaring dragon, sometimes it was an airship or an airplane.
The feeling of having your life in someone else's hands is not really a good experience for an emperor.
Especially the circular rotating turrets under the planes and airships, which would make the Blood Emperor and the imperial entourage feel frightened every time they turned.
After all, many of the entourage had experienced the battle that night and understood how lethal things could be shot out of these black metal cans.
Those enemies that make the Four Knights of the Empire feel desperate will often be torn to pieces in a few blows and turned into meat sauce flying in the sky.
No one would think that the ridiculous protective magic on the royal carriage could withstand the penetrating power of this thing.
After a long silence, the Blood Emperor finally couldn't help but ask: "Bajud Persumemel, are these weird devices flying in the sky the war weapons you mentioned in your report?"
"Yes, Your Majesty.
It is these terrifying weapons that can easily destroy thousands of undead armies.
He even beat two entire teams of death knights to ashes in front of me.
I will never forget the purgatory-like scene at that time."
Bajud Peshmer, who looked very tall and strong, quickly gave a positive answer.
From the deep fear revealed in his eyes, it is easy to see that he has been completely frightened by the thermal weapon that combines magic and technology, and has even left a serious psychological shadow.
But it’s no wonder.
After all, if the ancient people on earth suddenly saw modern firearms, airplanes, tanks, and cannons appearing in front of them, they would probably be instantly frightened.
The Blood Emperor nodded thoughtfully, and then turned his gaze to the opposite "humanity's strongest mage" and the strongest guardian of the empire - Fluder Paradine, with an uncertain tone.
Question: "Teacher, can you see the principles of these incredible war weapons? Are they created through some powerful magic?"
"Sorry, these flying devices are too complex and difficult to distinguish from the surface.
But what is certain is that the owner of the floating city must be a powerful magic user.
Just along the way, I saw that many of the patrols riding giant dragons were capable of using tenth-level magic.
So give up the fantasies you shouldn’t have and face reality.
What you are about to face is a force that can conquer and destroy any country in the world without any effort;
A terrifying and powerful magical country with hundreds of thousands of spells that can cast tenth level spells;
An absolute power with a war machine capable of razing a radius of hundreds of kilometers to the ground.
In their eyes, the empire is probably no different from ants on the roadside who can be crushed to death at will."
Fluder Paradine, whose face was covered with wrinkles, spoke the cruel reality that made everyone present feel despair in a tone without any emotion.
Since he has a natural ability to see the highest level of magic the opponent can use, as long as a player riding a dragon patrols in the sky, he can immediately tell the approximate strength of the opponent.
The overall average level of players today has basically exceeded LV15.
In particular, most of the guys who can move around this forest, which is the main battlefield, are above LV17, and there are even more people who have surpassed LV21 and become legendary characters.
Therefore, when he saw the first player who mastered the nine-level spell passing overhead, Fluder Paradine was filled with excitement and excitement.
For a man who has lived for two hundred years and whose lifelong wish is to "peep into the abyss of magic", it is as if he has seen the hope of leading to a higher level magic palace. He wishes he could immediately get out of the carriage and catch up to him and kneel at his feet.
, using everything he owns in exchange for precious magical knowledge.
But not long after, the old man saw players with the same strength riding dragons across the sky one after another. His emotions quickly changed from the excitement and excitement at the beginning to becoming more and more numb, and finally even had a strong feeling.
fear.
After all, he can cast sixth-level arcane magic, which is equivalent to the fifth ring of Faerûn, and he is already at the top level of human beings in this world.
But now?
Powerful men with terrifying power like demons appeared in large numbers, and they all belonged to the same force.
There is nothing to hesitate or struggle with, just vote now.
The Blood Emperor obviously knew his teacher very well, and instantly understood the subtext from that face, and sighed with a wry smile: "Well, it seems you are right, I really shouldn't have any more delusions.
It would be good if you could save your life at this time.
In addition, I heard that the old king and two princes of the kingdom had been killed in the previous war, and that terrible woman had officially ascended the throne and became the queen.
I really don’t know what choice she would make in this situation."
"Are you referring to the Golden Princess Rana?" Bajud Peshmer asked.
"Yeah, besides her, what other woman can make me guess.
Moreover, according to the spies' reports, on the night when the war broke out, many nobles who controlled large areas of territory and power in the kingdom were inexplicably exterminated.
Although the kingdom claimed that the assassination was carried out by the enemy in conjunction with the Eight Fingers, and the Eight Fingers were uprooted afterwards.
But I always feel that this matter is too strange.
From a political point of view, this sudden assassination almost wiped out the decadent aristocratic forces in the kingdom, and also cleared Lana's biggest obstacle to the throne. It is exactly the same as what I did back then.p>
I have reason to suspect that she was planning all of this behind the scenes."
The Blood Emperor curled his lips in disgust.
