Magic Tower Starry Sky

The shortest distance between the southern border of the Suritang Empire and the northern border of the Gwana Empire is about a thousand kilometers. Say long is not long, say short is not short.

In addition to a large plain similar to a desert, there are several mountain ranges, which greatly prevent the possibility of the two empires from attacking each other.

If there were not two rivers flowing down from the mountains, nourishing part of the land from south to north, I am afraid that no living things could survive in this barren land.

But this distance cannot stop the ambition of an empire, especially a nation riding on horses. However, due to various internal and external reasons, the Sulitang Empire, which was actively conquesting abroad during the founding period, did not place its main force in the south, but shifted its sights to other places.

When the Great Khan of the empire wants to touch another empire, he is moving towards the goal of conquering the entire land. At that time, the Midi was already full of magic towers, blocking the marching route of the army.

Not to mention those weak countries that occupy land as their king, if the Suritang Empire really wants to challenge the old empire of Midi - the Gwana Empire, they have to pull out the tower all the way, and then cross the mountains from the mouth of the gorge to meet themselves selected opponents.

Even if you can buy the tower owners of two magic towers, let them agree that the army can pass through without injury. Who can buy all the tower owners and make them obey the Great Khan of the Empire? It's not without reason that the Magician's Association disgusted the all-lost noble lords.

This is why there are very few magic towers in the empire. Even if there is, it can only be an old tower left over from an earlier period, not a newly built one. After all, no one wants their home to be full of wandering people who listen to the tune and don't listen to the announcement.

In comparison, those small countries do not have that much deterrent resistance to the Association of Magicians. Neither can prevent magicians from building towers, nor can they prevent magic towers from occupying land.

Sometimes small nations also need magic towers to fill their defenses against enemy nations, or to guard against attacks from nature. Even if the price is to lose the right to control a part of the territory.

So in a certain period of time, the magic towers were built one after another in the countries in the south of the Suli Tang Empire. There are even some places where the magic tower is consolidated first, and then the country is established.

The magic fortress built in the past has now become the lifeline of the human side. Facing the attack of the coalition of demons and orcs, none of the magic towers gave up their responsibilities. They all fought to the last moment, not allowing the enemy to pass through easily.

Perhaps the blocking from the magic tower was unexpected by the demons. But none of the towers can achieve the record of the Tower of the Great Sage more than 20 years ago, forcing the devil to close the gate of the abyss with the power of a tower.

The magic towers in these small countries are the most basic three-story towers. At most, it can be won by paying the price of nearly one legion.

The human army is very precious, and the nobles and lords everywhere are reluctant to spend it so profligately, and use it to storm and pull out the tower. But for the coalition of demons and orcs gathered together, it is enough for each leader to divide some members of the Death Squad for a strong attack.

If you choose to hit the magic tower hard, there is no trick in tactics. Anyway, pile up the corpses all the way, and you will win if you pile up to the third floor.

The traditional magic tower in Lost Land doesn't kill people as fast as the Great Sage's Tower transformed by a certain crossover. Although the tactic of exchanging lives is cruel, it is indeed effective.

But even if it is effective, attacking any magic tower is not instant.

The magic tower's external attack and internal defense are not two options. As long as the tower owner handles it, it is not a problem to carry out both at the same time. This means that before a magic tower is completely knocked down, it is impossible for the demon coalition forces to pass by the tower safely.

Not all of these magic towers were built on naturally formed pass terrains, some just rose from the ground on relatively desolate plains.

However, the attack ranges of all the magic towers are uneven, so that the three-way zone between the towers forms several winding and unmarked safe passages. Such a road is definitely not something that the army can pass smoothly.

This is also the reason why, if the demon coalition forces want to attack, they must pull out the magic towers that get in the way.

If there is a magic tower that is still controlled by a magician, it will be silent in the face of the army; but it will be cold to some commanders who are arrogant, or they will choose a small group of troops to destroy. Such long-term harassment, even if the demon coalition army is crazy enough, it will be completely collapsed.

And the offensive behavior of pulling out the towers has greatly delayed the speed of the demon coalition army's advance.

During these times, most civilians successfully retreated. They even crossed the mountains with difficulty, no matter how many people collapsed from exhaustion on the way, they never stopped. Because everyone knows that before being blocked in the mountains, they are just entering a Jedi.

The human coalition forces on the Southern Front failed once, so this hastily assembled defense line is also impossible to stop the demon's attack. In addition, the living people who dare not cross the mountains will eventually become rations, seedbeds for orcs, or sacrifices for demons.

Anyway, it's all about death, so dying on the road, or giving up the will to survive, and dying in the hands of the devil is an easy choice to make. At least if you choose the former, you still have a chance to live; if you choose the latter, you will definitely die.

Those who successfully crossed the mountains ended up in the small country before the Gwana Empire. They dare not cross the border easily, because the grand dukes who are responsible for guarding the borders of the empire have already displayed their troops on the border line. Perhaps it is to guard against demons, or to guard against others.

The emperor of the empire did not give an order, and the grand dukes did not dare to easily release these large numbers of refugees.

For the lost land of this era, a large population is a good thing that any country can only dream of. But 'refugees' are different.

Most of them enter a new environment with nothing. If this new environment cannot maintain their most basic life, then they can only plunder by themselves. Loot the original owner of this environment, or loot other refugees.

Everything is just to survive...

Under such circumstances, without a good plan, no noble lord would dare to accept a group of refugees easily. Unless these noble lords can't stop them, they can only watch a large number of people who have lost most of their wealth pour into their territory.

But the Grand Dukes guarding the frontiers of the Gwana Empire are by no means the ones who are powerless to stop them. What's more, the Grand Duke who bears the brunt of guarding the northern border is the territory of the Kawei family. In the past ten years, the most powerful family.

The mechanized infantry division that has been restructured does not belong to the regular army of the Gwana Empire, but the 'militia' of the Kawi family.

They are not like twelve years ago, although they used trucks to transport troops and horses. But the soldiers who got out of the chariot still held swords, and some rode horses, using the original tactics to confront the enemy.

Magic guns are too expensive. Maintenance requires professional knowledge, and charging is also costly. With that money, it is better to directly form a magician army.

The early gunpowder weapons were too weak and had too many restrictions, which was a kind of tasteless for lost soldiers. Even using tactics such as three-shot, concentrated volley, and formation shooting will not help much.

A group of fledgling warrior boys, assemble and charge! In an instant, you can cross the qualified range of gunpowder weapons in this period, and rush into the musket queue to kill a large number of people. Especially in the face of monsters with strange abilities, the early Musketeers were even more powerless.

But there is one weapon that is still useful, and that is the 'cannon'. It can be used to siege cities and villages, and can be used for range-type killing. Even if these goals cannot be achieved, the huge sound will still bring a considerable degree of spiritual shock to the enemy and us.

Therefore, among the 'militia' of the Kavi family, there are a large number of artillery units arranged in the rear position. And this troop is not some unknown secret weapon, the several times of encirclement and suppression against monsters have made this troop famous far and wide.

The thermal weapon technology acquired by the Kawei family was not learned from a certain group of people who traveled through time. Instead, it was obtained from another descendant of the Transmigration Congregation, the Ruan family behind the Jialong Chamber of Commerce.

The original hot weapon technology has always been mastered by the core head of the Ruan family. This is also the biggest reliance for the main family to control other branches and control a huge chamber of commerce.

But the strength in force was quickly replaced by greater interests.

The cooperation between Ruan Wenzhao and Wenyue brothers and Automobile Center has improved the transportation capacity of goods by more than one level. This is crucial to the transportation of food, the main commodity of the Jialong Chamber of Commerce.

Besides, the number and use of firearms have always been controlled by the head of the Ruan family. The two brothers Ruan Wenzhao and Wenyue are open to the purchase of cars, so that everyone can benefit together.

The branches naturally choose new partners instead of continuing to be in the position of the oppressed. The two brothers also remembered the suggestion of a traveler that the cars and trucks were open for sale, but the oil refining technology was still in their hands. New energy is the real right to speak!

How could such a regime change happen without bloodshed. Of course, the head of the Ruan family tried to use guns to suppress disobedient branches!

But unfortunately, the two brothers, who realized the power of firearms and were not short of money, bought a set of magic firearms from a certain traveler early on to equip their trusted team.

Using a magic gun designed by a 21st century traveler to shoot a 19th century gunpowder gun, even if someone is not a professional arms manufacturer, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is still like bullying a child.

The more expensive magic guns beat the guards of the head of the Ruan family to the point of screaming. Three or two strokes until you are subdued.

The power struggle within the family is not as **** as the imperial power. At least the Ruan brothers didn't think about killing them all after the main family subdued. The struggle between the two parties was also fought by the agents below.

However, the technology of gunpowder weapons, which was regarded as tasteless, fell into the hands of the two brothers. Including the 'cannon' left by their ancestors, which was once a powerful weapon to protect the country when the Nguyen Dynasty existed.

Where the main house is located, there are two cannons kept as a symbol of remembering the past. But cannons, which are bulky and difficult to move, are of course not something that a mere chamber of commerce can use.

Besides, the Ruan family has never improved the technology of gunpowder weapons. Whatever the ancestors left behind, they passed it on with vigilance and fear.

So this weapon of war, which can still perform well in a land of great personal strength, has just been dusted up like this. Until it fell into the hands of the Ruan brothers.
