Chapter 28 Magician War (recommendation ticket requested)

When it comes to the big killer of the Kingdom of Anjou - the control of magicians, then we have to mention the history of magicians from weak to strong.

The history of magicians from weak to strong can be traced back about 500 years ago.

In fact, the magicians at that time were not weak, and the magic skills of thousands (flowers) changing (li) thousands (hu) turning (whistle) gave the magician a powerful one-on-one ability.

Before the sky rank, a magician could often defeat two fighters of the same level.

Of course, the fighters are not stupid. During countless times of friendly (battered) fights (beating), the fighters gradually transformed into another form - archers.

After learning to add grudge to the arrow, the warrior-turned-archer even has a bit of capital to bully the magician.

Bows and arrows with grudges make the magicians tired of defense, and it is difficult for the magicians' spells to hit the long-distance and flexible archers.

So in the heads-up field, the magician with magic as the core at that time was tied with the warrior and archer with fighting spirit as the core.

Before the sky rank, the one-on-one abilities of the three professions were probably magician > melee fighter = archer > magician.

And this situation continues to this day 500 years later.

. . . . . .

In heads-up, the "magic system" and the "fighting energy system" are evenly divided, but on the battlefield, the status of magicians is much lower than that of warriors and archers.

Soldiers can charge with the legion, and can be equipped with heavy spears, armor, and shields to enhance the defense and impact of the entire phalanx;

The archer shoots arrows in the back, and the addition of grudge can also make the bow and arrow have a longer range and greater power;

In contrast, the position of the magician in the battlefield is a bit tasteless.

Before the sky level, the magician's casting distance is often less than 200 meters, which is much shorter than that of the archer.

After the magician went to the battlefield, he not only had to face the charge of the warrior phalanx, but also suffered long-distance attacks from the archers.

However, archers are very restrained against magicians, so the status of magicians on the battlefield has always been awkward.

So many magicians simply turned to auxiliary arms. For example, earth magicians can be engaged in construction, digging rivers, making bunkers, etc. Water magicians can work part-time as healers. Wind magicians can provide acceleration and magic shields to warriors. spell
When everyone thought that magicians were not suitable for battle, 500 years ago, a man named McCann Shancha changed the fate of magicians.

McCann Shancha invented an epoch-making spell called "Magic Link".

The spell "Magic Link" allows magicians to communicate and share magic power through channels created by their arms.

Not only that, the power and range of the magic released by the two magicians through the "magic link" have also been greatly improved.

After more than 500 years of improvement, the current "Magic Link" is quite mature.

Magicians can form a powerful magic army, can release range magic that is far beyond their level, and can strike targets from thousands of meters away.

This kind of strike like a map railgun made all the troops frightened. It was at that time that the magicians became the most powerful force on the battlefield.

. . . . . .

Magicians showed their prowess on the battlefield, and warriors and archers of the "fighting energy system" certainly didn't want to lag behind, so they began to study the fighting spirit version of "fighting energy link" by imitating "magic link".

Miraculously, not long after, the "Duqi Link" was actually researched by them, and the effect was similar to that of the "Magic Link".

Practitioners of the "fighting qi system" were naturally elated, and quickly applied the "fighting qi link" to actual combat.

But after actual combat, they found that the performance of the "vindictive link" was much worse than that of the "magic link".

When the attacking fighters on the battlefield advance and charge, due to the different speeds of each person, the "fighting qi link" can easily collapse due to strenuous exercise.

The shield guards standing still can maintain the "vindictive link" without interruption, but all members stand still, what is the difference between this and an earthen wall?

The long-range archers of course also tried the "battle link", because they can stand still and attack, and at the same time keep the "battle link" uninterrupted.

But archers also face a big problem, that is, their weapons can no longer withstand it.

There are very few bows and arrows in the world that can withstand the fighting spirit of hundreds of thousands of people, so after the experiment failed, the archers had to give up bows and start to study other weapons, such as iron balls, javelins, stones and so on.

Until the end, the archers also gradually gave up the "fighting link".

Although javelins and iron balls can be used, the damage range is too small.

Compared with the large-scale range magic of the Magic Legion, the killing efficiency is pitifully low.

……

After the "fighting energy department" gave up the "fighting energy link", the status of magicians gradually rose by virtue of their excellent performance on the battlefield.

In just 500 years, the magicians finally grew into existences that can rival the Church of Holy Light, which has existed for 2000 years.

And the main weapon used by the Anjou Kingdom to control the Principality of Ryan is the control of magicians.

The Kingdom of Anjou forbids the Principality of Ryan to form a magic legion, and in the Principality of Ryan, all magic academies and magic guilds are forcibly independent. The Kingdom of Anjou regularly recruits magic geniuses from the Principality of Ryan to study in the Kingdom of Anjou every year.

Because of the "magician control", the Principality of Ryan has become the stable rear of the Kingdom of Anjou. Although the Principality of Ryan has been hoarding 80.00% of the country's army in the Delphi Fortress, it is just for show.

. . . . . .

The above is what Sean summed up after reading the book for an afternoon.

Sean sorted out the information he had collected, and sighed slightly.

If there were no battle qi and magic in this world, everyone would be ordinary people. With the advantage of being a traverser, he would quickly develop industries and produce guns, planes and tanks. Not to mention conquering the world, he could still do it in a small corner.

But the magic army in this world is so powerful, even if I create these heavy weapons, it may not be very useful. It seems that I still have a long way to go.

. . . . . .

It didn't take long for Sean to return to the residence in a carriage, ready to change his clothes before going to the Earl of the River's dinner party.

When Sean arrived at the door of the residence, he immediately saw Windsor waiting at the door.

At this time, Windsor took a brand new shield, which should have been remade for him by the butler Henry.

Seeing Sean return to the residence, Windsor immediately greeted him.
