Build a Swarm Tech Tree in Konoha

Chapter 627 Capital's Erosion of the Gods Begins
However, the magician suddenly stood opposite, and it didn't affect anything.

Because the general situation of the Sark Empire is over, it is only the final blow in form at this time, officially ending this empire that was born less than three years ago.

Magicians, as the third largest force besides lords and clergy, can be feared by Younv Tetsuwan because they have knowledge in their brains, and because they hold power in their hands.

But it was wrong for them to stand up at this time. The choice of timing is simply speechless, and it can't change any results at all.

In the concept of Yuyue Tetsuwan, the power of a magician is not suitable for use alone, but an important amplifier. They can maximize their power when they are assisted by a powerful force.

But the capital of the Sark Empire is not really a city, with a mere population of 10,000+, and the guarding army is pitifully small.

To be honest, there is no room for magicians to play.

However, Tetsumaru still underestimated the magician's power.

The magicians in the special forces of the Red Army warned that they felt that there was a huge amount of magic energy in this city. At least forty magic towers coordinated the frequency bands of magic power, forming a resonance of magic power.

In addition, there are more than [-] magic towers that communicate with the earth veins or energy dimensions, extracting magic power to support the rune frame, and constructing a magic source.

Younv Tiewan, who was full of question marks, frowned and looked at the magicians, and asked puzzledly, "What do you mean by all this?"

Only then did the magicians in red uniforms realize that they had uttered too many awkward magic terms, making their colleagues and the highest officials feel uncomfortable.

So they recommended the oldest magician, and he explained embarrassingly: "To put it simply, the city is covered with a magic shield, layer upon layer, at least..."

A dozen magicians discussed with each other, and then gave an estimated number.

"...At least four hundred floors, up to six hundred floors."

At this time, a magician with a brown-black complexion said: "My lord, there was absolutely no such powerful magic power in Sak City before, at least not when I traveled here three years ago."

Younv Tiewan asked, "Do you know how much it has increased?"

The dark-skinned magician replied: "I only have about ten floors in my memory, and the number increased this time is indeed very exaggerated."

The magicians expressed surprise one after another, and pointed out that the number of magic towers is also very abnormal. Three years ago, there were sixteen magic towers, and now they have increased to more than 100.

Younv Tetsuwan thought for a while, then suddenly asked with a smile: "Generally speaking, how long does it take to build a magic tower?"

The magicians replied: "At least one year, if it is a large magic tower, it may take five years."

"With so many magic towers and so many layers of protective shields, I don't think they can build stronger than ours." Younv Tiewan already had a clear guess in her heart.

"It shouldn't be all magic towers. Most of them are substitutes. Maybe the defensive power shown will not be too bad, but the durability cannot reach the strength it should be."

Younv Tetsumaru stood up, and without any hesitation, he issued an order loudly: "Order the artillery to retreat five kilometers and not appear in the enemy's sight. attack."

"In order to make up for the loss of shelling accuracy, I ordered: Increase the amount of ammunition prepared by five times, take out ten base shells, increase the firepower preparation time from one hour to five hours, smash this city to pieces for me! !"

Following his order, on the twelve-kilometer-long front, steam monsters put down their towed heavy cannons, and the soldiers deployed the cannons skillfully or unfamiliarly.

The huge steel bracket of the heavy gun supported the gun body, lifted the thick wheels, and inserted the huge gun pick against the recoil obliquely into the dug hole.

Under the control of the soldiers, the gun barrel was slowly raised, aiming at the city ten kilometers ahead.

More steam monsters swarmed in, unloading full shells on each gun position, piling up into hills.

As the 330 heavy artillery completed their battle preparations, the atmosphere on the battlefield quickly became tense.

When the cannon was deployed, the magicians of the special forces penetrated through the tunnels on the ground, and even took a plane to fly at low altitude to determine the positions of more than 100 magic towers.

At the same time, it was also confirmed that most of the so-called more than 100 magic towers are just altars that have completed the ritual of fixing the magic power source.

Although the level of magicians of the red army is relatively low, they cannot accurately point out the location of the magic nodes of the shield, but these magic towers and altars must be the most important nodes.

They can be sure that destroying these magical buildings will definitely destroy the protective shield of the entire city.

This level of intelligence is enough for the artillery to launch an attack.

Now it's time for the heavy artillery.

Because the enemy does not have a strike force with a range of more than ten kilometers, and the Air Force has given up the bombing function and made every effort to protect the air supremacy of the artillery position.

Therefore, the heavy artillery unit can launch an attack wholeheartedly, and start the first round of shelling towards the target marked by the magicians.

The justice with a caliber of 120mm spoke, and the roar of the artillery sounded from the position. After 30 seconds, the low-speed heavy bomb was intercepted over the city and turned into fireballs. That was the scene of the shell exploding on the protective cover.

After the first round of shelling was intercepted, the frontline observation team passed the hit coordinates to the rear, as well as the information that it was intercepted by the magic protective cover.

The artillerymen fired rapidly according to Yuyome Tetsumaru's plan without hesitation, and immediately the artillerymen fired continuously according to their respective targets.

Warheads weighing more than [-] kilograms followed a fixed arc, spanned a distance of ten kilometers, and poured firepower at the target according to a controllable spread.

Looking from a distance from the position of the observation post, the entire city was shrouded in an explosion storm. The magic shield that intercepted the shells in mid-air was blown out of layers of ripples during the explosion, and then collapsed into magical light spots all over the sky.

The speed at which the protective cover shattered was so fast that the magic light spots fell like a torrential rain, like a large-scale fireworks show.

Younv Tetsuwan watched quietly, through the phenomenon of magic power that was so strong that ordinary people could see it, he finally noticed the existence of magic power.

He stretched out his right hand, deliberating for a long, long time, finally a tiny flame that flickered on and off appeared in the palm of his hand.

The power of this flame is not even as powerful as the flame of a lighter, and it is infinitely worse than the fire escape made by ninjutsu, but it is indeed a flame ignited by magic power.

This is Yuu Tieswan's breakthrough in understanding magic power from zero to one. This is the second most important breakthrough in the exploration of the new world, second only to the understanding of gods, and higher than the study of giant dragons.

The artillery roared ferociously, and more than sixty shells per second hit the city's protective cover, forming a spectacular war spectacle.

At this time, there is still an hour before dawn, which is the darkest time of the night. The splendid shell explosion and the magnificent magic power collapse light rain, feasting the eyes of the [-] red-clothed soldiers who are ready to go.

Although the soldiers standing on the artillery position cannot see the gorgeous fireworks show, they can feel the vibration of the ground when the cannon is fired, and even feel the wonderful pleasure of the ground bumping.

Most of this wonderful pleasure comes from imagination, imagining the pleasure of ten kilometers away under the destruction of explosives, the more violent vibrations, the collapse of buildings, the shattering of the ground, and the collapse of towers.

This is the pleasure derived from destruction, and most men can feel it instinctively, and then the secretion of adrenaline is accelerated, resulting in more intense excitement and happiness.

Seeing that they are constantly being destroyed, but the opponent has no way to fight back. This kind of absolute advantage is actually played against the magician, and the pride naturally emerges in the hearts of the artillerymen.

This is the power of industry and organization, this is the pride of conquering the old era on behalf of the new era, and this is the pride that the enemy must submit to.

The red-clothed army was overwhelmed, but standing in a city ravaged by shells, the feeling was extremely bad.

All the magicians in the city could feel that under the violent bombardment, the empty elemental structure of the city was rapidly collapsing, and the speed at which the protective cover collapsed was beyond everyone's imagination.

This kind of feeling is really terrible, this kind of aggrieved feeling is like in the game, as an MT fighter, he was blocked in front of the copy, and was surrounded and beaten by the enemy.

If you want to walk but can't, if you want to hit the enemy, you can only keep decreasing your health, then you really want to die.

A magician left his position and gave up maintaining the magic circle. He walked to the city wall with a face full of frustration and despair.

Seeing the explosions all over the sky, and the rain-like magic light spots, he knelt down on the city wall in despair and howled loudly.

At dawn, in the rising sun, the last magic shield was broken.

The dense shells poured into the city in an instant, turning into a storm of death, setting off blossoming smoke mushrooms.

The positions carefully prepared by the magicians, magic cannons, magic puppets, magic traps, poisonous potions, etc. were all destroyed in the indiscriminate artillery fire.

The shelling continued for another two hours after dawn, destroying all the buildings in the city.

Including the city walls, no buildings were higher than two meters above the ground, and all the exquisite magic products brought by the magicians were smashed to pieces by the brutal cannons.

At least three hundred magicians died or disappeared in the man-made disaster, their attempts to teach the Redcoats a lesson and elevate their status met with tragic failure.

The naive attempts of the magicians had their pride annihilated under the roaring artillery fire, and the status of the magicians suddenly collapsed.

……

The war has been won, the invested capital has finally begun to be converted into profits, and the time for capital carnival has arrived.

The profit that capital seeks is money, but not just money.

What they want is floating wealth such as gold, silver, jewelry, and famous paintings, as well as fixed assets such as mines, workshops, castles, farmland, houses, and canals. They urgently need all useful labor such as farmers, craftsmen, doctors, and veterinarians.

Capital wants to keep everything that can generate profits.

Capital that is still in the ignorant stage even tries to obtain privileges such as road construction rights, wharf construction rights, and mineral mining rights, and even intends to get involved in state powers such as minting rights.

These attempts were unceremoniously rejected by Younv Tetsumaru. He also severely punished several companies that reached out, and even punished more capital chaebols in a sitting style, so that they would have a long memory.

This is a key point of whether capital controls power or the government controls capital, and it must not be sloppy at all.

However, capital is still useful now.

Younv Tiewan needs capital to help him solve the feudal system, and capital to shake people's beliefs on a large scale and fundamentally attack the belief in gods.

Therefore, he did not inflict severe punishment on the thirteen chaebols, and continued to give them considerable support, and even began to provide them with armed forces.

Beasts that are on the brink of extinction are the most dangerous, and the feudal system will definitely launch a deadly counterattack at this time.

Moreover, in the previous war, in order to speed up the progress of the war, Tetsumaru not only spared the magicians, but also tolerated the church organization of the gods, and even ignored the land occupied by the priests.

These are all hidden dangers, so not only can't kill capital, but also equip capital with sharper fangs and claws. As for fangs, you don't need Younv Tiewan to worry about it, that is the natural ability of capital.

After the war, infrastructure construction began on a grand scale.

Younv Tiewan deliberately loosened the restrictions on capital, and the thirteen chaebols involved hundreds of millions of people in this grand feast, changing people's beliefs at an exaggerated speed.

Now the gods are finally aware of the changes in people's hearts, but the degree of attention is far from enough.

In order to cover the actions of No. [-] Younv Tiewan, and to let the gods realize that this problem is actually fatal a few months later, No. [-] Younv Tiewan launched a new round of offensive.

He commanded the swarm to expand its territory, from space, from the ground, from the sea, from the ground... The swarm began to attack from every possible position.

The eyes of the gods were attracted to them at once, and the power that the priesthood could control was almost fully invested, and the swarm of insects launched a blockage and interception everywhere.

For a time, the entire new world was ignited with extraordinary flames of war.

When the gods took out their trump card angels, dragonfly angels suddenly appeared in the swarm, and they confronted the angels and envoys of the gods without showing any weakness.

The appearance of the dragonfly angel made the gods inexplicably horrified, all their attention was focused on the swarm, and they really felt the provocation and the deadly threat.

But they all misunderstood, dragonfly angels can't kill the gods, but capital can.

In March of the second year after the war, it was time for spring to bloom.

At this time, people's three views have undergone earth-shaking changes in just one winter.

Capital uses the pursuit of people's hearts to alienate everything. Family affection, love, pride, and belief all retreat to the second line.

Money has become the benchmark by which everything is measured.

Even gods have to be measured in size and ability by money.

Under the guidance of Younv Tiewan, the belief model of the rabbits gradually penetrated, that is, a business, an exchange.

I believe in you and worship you, so you have to bless me, not test me, otherwise... you are an evil spirit, a devil, an evil that steals my authority.

In such a way of thinking of belief, how can there be any pious belief?

In May, when the weather was getting hotter, the god of music suddenly fell asleep and appeared without warning.

Immediately afterwards, a series of gods fell asleep for no reason, and the gods were afraid.
