Magic Underachiever
Chapter 50: Champs-Elysees
Da Liang listened to Robin's introduction and took another look at the silver wings flying across the sky outside the window.
The shape of the steam flying wing is two unfolded metal wings. The wings are movable wings that can be retracted and swung. There are large and small steam nozzles on them to meet the needs of various tactical actions in air combat. In the middle of the two metal wings, there is an attachment device that can fix the driver on it. It looks like an angel...
The combination of steam technology and alchemical technology produced a manned aircraft that was different from fixed-wing aircraft. Although it cannot yet reach the speed and load of fixed-wing aircraft, it has aerial maneuverability that aircraft cannot achieve anyway. Just a long hovering maneuver can make all fixed-wing aircraft stall and fall.
The development of science and technology after 2000 is really unique.
Seeing Da Liang staring at the silver wings in the sky with great admiration, Robin said proudly: "According to historical records. In the ancient magic era, the main force of the human race in air combat was the griffon...
This aerial beast is now very rare. I heard that one of the royal griffins can be ridden after being tamed... but there has not been a single royal griffin in the empire.
But... even if the Royal Griffin Knight can take off again, I am afraid it will not be the opponent of the current Silver Wing. "
Daliang recalled the war in the game and said: "A single-headed griffon is definitely not the opponent of Silver Wings. However, in the ancient army organization, a royal griffon knight commanded nine-headed griffins into a squad; ten squads were formed A squadron; ten squadrons form a group.
A small-scale military conflict would involve at least hundreds of griffins, and even larger ones would involve thousands or tens of thousands.
Of course, in a war that requires thousands of griffons to fight, 13th-level angels and 14th-level archangels will definitely be used. There are also aerial warships following to provide fire support, and an aerial magician group responsible for strategic magic control.
Another thing I forgot to mention is that after the war begins, the aerial magician group and aerial battleships will establish an aerial magic blessing area to ensure that each griffon participating in the war has more than four targeted magic defense states. "
Robin was immediately speechless.
All his understanding of the ancient magical era came from books, while the people who wrote the books all based their limited imagination on the ancient magical era based on limited historical data and based on the current world.
But no matter how rich his imagination is, he can't escape from the inherent cognitive limitations, and he can't make the most realistic restoration of the ancient magic era.
They knew that people in the ancient magic era could tame griffins for combat, but the number of griffins now was so small that he could only imagine a city raising so many hundred and eighty griffins for air combat.
He also knew that angels existed, and there were many of them... maybe thousands? And most of them are in Yunzhong City. Human cities should not have angels. There are... maybe very few cities with one or two. You must know that there is no real angel in the entire world today...not counting the false angels of the Holy See.
In addition, in order to cater to readers' tastes, those imaginative authors tend to highlight personal heroism. In their descriptions, ancient wars were fought by a few high-end combat forces.
Ordinary basic troops will only be surprised and shout to highlight the prowess of the protagonists.
In short... people in the Age of Discovery have the impression of the ancient magic era as the myths and legends that once existed. High-end magic is really very high-end, but the war mode is in the age of cold weapons. Personal force is extremely strong, resulting in backward tactics and strategic thinking. Basically, when the two sides of the war meet, everyone's high-level heroes will throw magic at each other. Whoever has stronger magic will win.
The military in this era uses hot weapons.
In the fields of people's livelihood, science and technology, culture, politics, military achievements...in many aspects, the Age of Discovery has a lot of superiority over the ancient Magic Age.
But after Daliang casually said it, Robin suddenly discovered that the war model in the ancient magic era was not at all what he had imagined.
How many Silver Wings does the entire Imperial Air Force in Saroyan City have? There are about 300 aircraft, including some old models. But in the ancient magic era, wars involving thousands or tens of thousands of griffons seemed to be the norm...
Can 300 Silver Wings stop the attack of thousands of Griffins?
Moreover, behind these thousands of griffins are aerial battleships, angels, and various fire support and magical assistance provided by the aerial magician group. During the war... an ordinary griffin has to be blessed by multiple magic defense states for a long time. This is such a sufficient magic surplus!
How spectacular the magical confrontation on the battlefield is, I am afraid it is impossible to describe or imagine now.
In just a few words, Robin visualized in his mind the aerial battlefield that covered the sky during the war in the ancient magic era.
"It's such a great era." Robin couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time secretly noted down, preparing to report this important information to Miss Anne.
"But it has become the past." Daliang also sighed with the same emotion.
"I believe that your arrival will definitely bring back the glory of the past..." Robin gently patted Daliang's butt. Now he no longer dared to treat him as a child. At this time, the carriage stopped. Robin looked out the window and said to Daliang: "Master Liang, the Elysee Avenue has arrived. Welcome to visit your new residence in Saroyan City."
Robin opened the door first and stepped out of the carriage. Eric was already waiting outside. He made a signal to Robin that he was ready, and took out the money to settle the fare for hiring two carriages with the coachmen.
Daliang and his heroes got off the carriage one after another.
Elysee Avenue is a high-end neighborhood in Saroyang City. Both sides of the street are three-story villas with independent courtyards. Since almost all the houses in the entire block are properties purchased by high-ranking nobles of the Flemish Empire in Saroyang City, Elysee Avenue is also called Imperial Avenue. At the same time, because most of these high-ranking nobles are not in Saroyang City, many of these properties are vacant, and only a few servants stay to clean and wait for the owner to occasionally live there.
Elysee Avenue is very quiet in the dark night. Except for the house in front of it, the houses around are all dark.
No. 578 Elysee Avenue is the property of Miss Anne's father, Marquis Whitehead. But Anne, who served as the director of the Special Security Bureau, did not live here. She lived in a safer residence, which was the defense zone of the Saroyang Empire garrison. If she wants to reorganize the Special Security Bureau, she must first ensure her own safety. The imperial army has little contact with the outside world and has not been infiltrated, so she can probably... still rest assured.
There is a half-person-high fence outside the villa, and the main building is after a spacious lawn.
Robin led Da Liang and his party inside and introduced Eric: "This is Mondo Eric. Since my daughter is busy with official business, she entrusted the two of us to entertain the guests who have come from afar.
The first floor is the main hall, and there is also a dining room, kitchen, utility room... Maybe there are other rooms, but this is my first time here and I don't know.
The second floor is the bedroom, and the third floor... you can see the third floor for yourself.
Eric has prepared a dinner here in advance... Please forgive me for letting the carriage go around a few more blocks, one is to let you know more about the city of Saroyang, and the other is of course to prepare time for Eric to have dinner.
Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats... I believe this will be a night that changes the history of the world."
