1357: Chapter 1350: The Conspiracy of the Beast-Ear Race 1357: Chapter 1350: The Conspiracy of the Beast-Ear Race According to the organizational structure of the Demon Clan’s cavalry, a light cavalry soldier would be equipped with a swift horse, a long spear, and a short gun.
Before and after the battle began, they would disperse around the enemy’s position, continuously harassing and shooting at the enemy, relying on their high-precision weapons for long-distance kills.
Though they were light cavalry, their main form of combat was to dismount and spread out for shooting, and once they faced danger, they would imdiately mount their horses and retreat.
The main targets of the light cavalry, apart from high-value targets, were primarily to find ways to annihilate the Dongsheng Empire’s heavy cavalry.
These forces were the greatest threat to the Demon Clan’s army, so the principle was to eliminate as many as possible.
Because they were heavy cavalry, their mobility was naturally inferior to that of the light cavalry.
Therefore, the Demon Clan people devised a kite-flying tactic of staggered interception, continuously kiting the heavy cavalry into ambushes, where they could eliminate their combat forces.
The demise of the old regint ant the rise of a new one, and the Demon Clan people were finally not subjected to the ssy checks of the past, starting to build a truly new-style army.
Considering the threat of the Dongsheng cavalry, the High-peak people were also actively looking for solutions.
The passive approach was layered defense and steady progress; the active approach was to develop rapid-fire weapons to enhance the army’s instantaneous firepower.
Because historically, line infantry had never defeated cavalry, what truly led to the cavalry’s doom was the advent of Gatling and Maxim.
The appearance of these two rapid-fire weapons not only changed the fate of cavalry but also transford the old dense infantry tactics.
The powerful Otherworld Allied Army from the Western Continent, relying on magic enhancent, faced substantial casualties in their charges against Earth’s army positions from World War II.
If the Otherworld Allied Army had not been nurous enough, they would have indeed been defeated.
Besides, the Demon Clan people were also actively developing artillery.
Their artillery developnt was all about being small but precise, not overly chasing numbers.
They continuously tried to improve fragntation grenades because the High-peak people told them fragntation grenades represented the future form of warfare.
To enhance artillery range, they needed improvents in ammunition and also had to engrave rifling within the barrels.
Once this step was completed, the shells could no longer be loaded from the muzzle, necessitating rear-loading.
It can be said that although there was no significant progress in firearms yet, artillery was continuously developing.
The material for casting cannons originated from the Helrandum, a heavy warship built by High-peak people, who combined a large amount of tal from Earth and the Otherworld in its forging.
This alloy had high strength, and after the warship was wrecked, its tal hull undoubtedly beca the best material for weapon forging.
Besides handling production issues, Linglan was also actively reorganizing the Abisien administrative affairs, striving to transform the Abisien Alliance into the Abisien Federation or Kingdom.
About ten days later, a ssage that Luo’er was eagerly waiting for arrived—, Zisu’s older sister, the true leader of the Maoyou Clan, had reached Ziye Ning, and the three giants of the Beast-Ear Race had finally gathered.
Their next step was likely to start integrating the Southern Yao Race.
In Linglan’s mansion, Luo’er t the leader of the Maoyou Clan, Zisu’s older sister, for the first ti.
Just as she said, her sister was indeed much prettier than her.
Zisu’s sister had an elegant na, Ziyu.
“Zi” was not their surna, but because she and Zisu were of the sa generation, their first nas had similar prefixes.
Ziyu was around thirty-three, with pale and delicate skin, exquisite and elegant features, and the steadiness and grace of a middle-aged woman.
Every move revealed a noble aura.
In comparison, Zisu seed sowhat clumsy and immature.
Just as Zisu had said, her sister Ziyu was not only beautiful but also had an unparalleled deanor.
Having traveled far and wide, Luo’er had seen the princesses of the north and the Elf Queen, but he was still taken aback in front of Ziyu, staring wide-eyed at her.
“Who is that handso young man over there, who seems to have been staring at ?” Ziyu noticed Luo’er’s gaze and asked with a faint smile.
Her voice was serene and smooth, possessed a pure sense of peace in ti, and anyone listening to her speak would hardly believe she was the leader of the Maoyou Clan.
“Luo’er, how embarrassing,” Zisu turned to Luo’er, continuously waving her hands and smiling bitterly.
“Uh, ah.
Sorry, sorry, pardon my rudeness,” Hearing Zisu’s remark, Luo’er suddenly ca to his senses, his face blushing, and he lowered his head, too embarrassed to face others.
“Let introduce, this is Mr.
Luo’er from the Western Continent, captain of the Advance Team,” Linglan took the initiative to introduce.
“So you are Mr.
Luo’er?” Facing Luo’er, whom Zisu had pulled closer, Ziyu revealed a charming smile.
“Uh, yes, yes, Leader Ziyu, I have long admired your great reputation…” Facing Ziyu, Luo’er not only dared not et her gaze but even stuttered a bit while speaking.
“What a handso young man you are, Mr.
Luo’er.
There’s no need for such formality,” Ziyu said with narrowed eyes, smiling.
“Mr.
Luo’er is an Elf hybrid from the Western Continent.
It’s said that Elves are the most beautiful race in the Western Continent,” Zisu introduced as if taking credit.
“Is that so?
Now that I see Mr.
Luo’er, I truly believe it,” Ziyu nodded as she spoke.
“Mr.
Luo’er, please don’t be so formal, have a seat up here,” Linglan gestured with a wave of her hand.
“Luo’er is a bit bashful, so he’s a bit shy,” explained Zisu as she led Luo’er to sit down.
“Do you like him a lot, Su?” Ziyu twisted her words with interest, noticing that Zisu used an informal address for Luo’er.
“Of course,” Zisu nodded without hesitation.
At her response, Zisu smiled without saying a word, her eyes narrowing with satisfaction as she nodded.
“But, he is already taken,” Zisu stared at Luo’er, showing a look of regret.
“Oh,” Ziyu pondered for a mont, then shook her head with a smile, “That doesn’t matter though.”
“You sisters should show so restraint and not discuss such matters in front of a guest.
Mr.
Luo’er is our honored guest, and we should treat him politely,” Linglan couldn’t stand to watch anymore and interjected.
“Ah, I haven’t mistreated Luo’er; he’s my friend,” Zisu exclaid, startled.
“I was talking about your sister,” Linglan said, glaring at a smiling Ziyu.
“Enough chit-chat, let’s not forget why we gathered here today,” Yunji suddenly spoke up, having been silent until now.
“Of course I haven’t forgotten,” Linglan smiled, then turned serious, “The Kyushu civilian army has essentially ford.
As more people from Kyushu join Abisien, more will enlist in the army, and we will soon gather enough forces for a counter-attack.
Once the army is in place, we can discard the Northern Three Clans and establish the Southern Yao Race.”
Having said this, she glanced aningfully at Luo’er.
Luo’er, of course, was clear about what she was thinking, and he deliberately avoided eye contact.
“What has been the reaction from the Northern Three Clans?” Yunji asked, turning to Zisu.
“Oh, the Northern Three Clans have always disliked and pushed away the people joining from Kyushu, as you know, their kinsn fall into the hands of the people of Kyushu only to face a certain death,” Zisu responded.
“Hmm, let them hold onto their hatred, it helps us,” Linglan revealed a stern smile.
“Mr.
Luo’er…” Yunji turned to Luo’er, her voice hesitant.
“As I’ve said, I don’t interfere in your internal conflicts.
I’m just an observer.
Once I leave this door, I will forget everything I’ve just heard,” Luo’er firmly responded.
“Don’t put Mr.
Luo’er in a difficult position.
We invited him just to have him observe, nothing more,” Linglan quickly diated.
Luo’er, of course, knew she was lying.
If there were no other purposes, then he should not have been invited to such a secretive eting.
The only purpose of doing so was to force Luo’er and the people from the Western Continent, as outsiders, to take sides—whether to stand with the Southern Yao Race or with the Northern Three Clans.
Although they mostly supported the Beast-Ear Race, people’s true feelings are hard to gauge.
Hence Linglan used such a strategy to effectively make Luo’er and others commit to a side.
