Chapter 878: Weird Borderline
Although Qin Yu remained pessimistic about the task he took on this time, he had even made plans to make a heroic sacrifice, die for the country, come back from the dead, and run away with a bucket.
But as the two officers gave detailed information, he suddenly realized that the current situation did not seem to be as bad as he had expected. It was not that the enemy was really unable to fight this time.
First of all, and the most important point is that there is a very lack of masters among the magician troops responsible for launching the invasion.
Although these armies can cast forbidden spells and burst out with extremely powerful power, they are essentially just a group of cannon fodder.
They are just a group of low-level soldiers who were created by the magic empire using secret methods and forcibly controlled the power of magic at the cost of shortening their lifespan.
The medieval soldiers responsible for protecting mages were composed of foreign slaves they conquered.
With the imperial mages as the core, and the natives from other planes that the magic empire has conquered and forcibly recruited as human shields, this is how these magician legions are composed.
It is impossible for the truly top masters, such as the ninth-level archmage and the tenth-level supreme mage, to participate in this kind of war, because they are all ancestor-level figures in their hometown, so how can they come here to risk their lives if they have nothing to do?
.
Don't forget that the mage army can suppress the imperial army, but the combat method centered on magic means that they are destined to be a group of glass cannons. Once the defense line is breached by mistake, how Qin Yu massacred them before, the imperial soldiers can use
Kill them in the same way, and the killing speed can even be faster than Qin Yu.
In such a precarious battlefield, if you throw a master into it, especially a fragile mage with high attack and low defense, then you don't even know how he died.ъìQυGΕtV.℃ǒΜ
And after a while of questioning, Qin Yu also discovered a big thing, that is, these elite regiments of the empire that he thought were actually not elite at all.
To be precise, these legions cannot even be called soldiers.
Fugitives, criminals, robbers, traitors, and prisoners, with conspicuous medals on their chests that normal soldiers dream of, they look like an extremely elite legion, but they are actually a group of criminals who were taken from prison and thought they could be reformed.
The officers responsible for commanding and training them are generally desperado-level figures who are willing to risk their lives for military glory and actively apply to come here to participate in the battle.
Although most people here have a third-class merit medal, officials generally have second-class merit medals.
But it can be said that only one warrior can truly come back alive from this battlefield.
The third-class Medal of Honor is a certificate that will be awarded to everyone the moment they enter this battlefield. It can also be regarded as the empire's recognition of their group of warriors.
As long as you can participate in hundreds of battles and successfully survive, these medals of glory will accompany the survivor for life, all previous sins will be wiped out, and you will also enjoy all the benefits of an honorary soldier.
It looks beautiful, right, but the problem is that on this battlefield, we are facing a group of monsters that can launch pseudo-forbidden spells! They are like nuclear bombs at every turn, and how can they withstand it so easily?
Even though Qin Yu encountered no one in the legion this time, it looked like a complete victory.
But the real situation is that once the energy defense barrier is breached by the opponent's magic, this legion of tens of thousands of people will basically be wiped out, and no one can escape.
Either remain unscathed or the entire army is wiped out, these are the two most common outcomes on this battlefield.
There is no such thing as fighting against each other and causing heavy losses to both sides.
No matter which side the two sides are on, they will basically die if the shield is broken.
Qin Yu frowned as he looked at the two officers in front of him who took out a large amount of documents and even spread out maps to explain the situation at hand to him in detail.
"So, the peak showdown between the Magic Continent and our Martial Star Continent is essentially just two groups of cannon fodder fighting a war of attrition?"
The two officers looked at each other and nodded quickly after a moment of silence.
"It can also be understood this way."
"They use a mage who can cast forbidden spells as a consumable?"
"Well, because they are mages transformed by secret techniques, although their lifespan will be shortened and they will basically live for a short time, but they are better than mass production. With a little training and coordination, they can jointly cast forbidden spells several times, which can be regarded as magic.
It is the most commonly used and one of the most important means when the empire goes out to fight."
"We here use criminals as soldiers?"
"This war does not need to pay too much attention to the quality of the soldiers. Anyway, they are hiding in the energy barrier and shooting at the enemy. As long as the weapons are sufficient, there is actually no difference between sending elite troops or this group of ragtag troops.
Since they can be used as replacements, why do we have to let the elite soldiers of our empire come here to make fearless sacrifices? And this can also be regarded as giving them a chance to change their ways and even soar into the sky."
After listening to the words of the two officers, Qin Yu, who suddenly jumped up and gave himself a slap in the face, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that a tenth-level magic boss would not suddenly appear among the enemy.
Then he frowned again, looked around, and after confirming that no one was peeking, he suddenly moved towards the two officers furtively.
"Oh, by the way, I have another question to ask you. Is that the old man just now?"
"Um?!"
"Ah, no, no! I mean, the king's father, is he really the biological father of the current emperor of our United Empire?"
After learning that the legion stationed here was essentially just a group of cannon fodder troops, Qin Yu couldn't help but become suspicious of the identity of the old officer just now.
After all, which emperor would throw his own father in the middle of a group of criminals as the commander-in-chief? Don’t worry about whether such an unqualified army will be defeated. He is not reliable just by this group of criminal soldiers.
!
If someone got excited, wanted to leave a name in history, decided to do something big, and then stabbed the old man with a knife, wouldn't the current emperor lose his own father on the spot?
This group of criminal soldiers are expendable, so it’s impossible for the emperor and his father to be expendable too!
Noticing Qin Yu's sneaky expression, the two officers couldn't help but look at each other again, their expressions looking very serious at the moment.
"Your Excellency Qin Yu, when facing General Long, please show some respect. Lord Long Ming is indeed the father of the current emperor!"
"It's really true? Then he is the new emperor!"
"That's not true. The empire's imperial family values the system of superiority. The throne is not hereditary. There is no direct blood relationship between the previous emperor and the current emperor."
While speaking, the officer who spoke suddenly paused and his expression became more serious.
"However, if Lord Longming hadn't insisted on coming to guard the western border, the previous emperor and even this emperor would probably have belonged to him. Lord Longming has been guarding this place for more than 800 years.
, even when his own son succeeded to the throne, he was not able to go back and take a look."
Another officer heard this and quickly added with a straight face.
"It has been more than three hundred years since I have seen His Majesty the Emperor. Because the king of a country cannot stand under a dangerous wall, His Majesty Long Ming did not allow him to visit. Since His Majesty the Emperor became the king of a country, Long Ming
