Create a swarm technology tree in Konoha

"Your Majesty the Magician, will he use explosive elements in battle?"

"Don't worry, it won't happen." The magician explained. "As we all know, explosives are very expensive. He must have used up all the explosives when he destroyed fourteen castles and four roads."

"And explosives are very dangerous, so you need to be very careful when using them, which means they can only be planted in advance and then detonated."

"So, as long as we are not tempted by the enemy and do not fight on their predetermined battlefield, there is no need to worry."

A fat lord stood up, raised his hands and cheered: "The great magician has relieved us of our worries. There is no doubt about the victory of the battle."

"Let's have a party to celebrate and cheer for the victory!"

"Hahaha, banquet! Meat! Wine!"

Amidst the cheers of the lords and senior knights, several magicians wearing pointed hats left quietly.

Compared to noisy banquets, magicians generally prefer to open salons and discuss certain magic issues with beautiful aristocratic ladies in soothing music, or show the charm of magic to the ladies.

And although magicians are not forbidden to drink, they cannot be addicted to alcohol and try not to get drunk. So as not to affect the agility and stability of the heart and hands.

Moreover, the magicians have a higher status. Even if they leave, the lords will not forget to give each of them a separate portion.

Therefore, the magicians who disliked the vulgarity and noisy warriors naturally preferred to return to their tents and enjoy food and wine alone.

Of course, not all of the fourteen lords were rough men. When the three leading lords got drunk, they got together and discussed the problem.

The short-bearded middle-aged man shook the wine glass in his hand and whispered: "What do you think of this incident?"

The old man with the white beard had a bad temper. He cut off a piece of meat with a knife, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it. He said in a cold tone: "Huh, explosive element. This is an expensive thing. Even the magicians who can produce explosive element are very expensive." No, our magicians can’t do it anyway.”

The middle-aged man with a beard nodded and said: "Yes, don't look at what Zoyas said is easy, but explosive element itself is also a power, and it is the power of the combination of an excellent magician and strong financial resources."

The old man with a white beard glanced at the tent door with disdain and said, "Hey, Zoyas probably thinks he can swarm up and defeat the opponent with numbers."

Then he put down the knife, wiped the grease from his mouth and beard, and asked: "So, who is plotting against our Chihe River Valley behind the scenes? The Duke Family of Nameni? The Kingdom of Skia?"

The middle-aged man with a beard said firmly: "I don't think so. It's not that the two of them don't have this intention. It's not a day or two that we have been fighting against them. It's just that the time is not right now."

The short-bearded middle-aged man smelled the smell of wine and said in agreement: "You are right, we left the Chihe River Valley in response to the oracle of the Sun God. Don't they want to live anymore?"

The white-bearded old man frowned and said: "I heard from the Bishop of the Sun Divine Court that the Divine Court was very dissatisfied with this and had sent powerful dragon knights to investigate. I also think it might not be them."

"But, this is strange. Who could be behind this? To be able to command such a powerful magician and use such a large amount of explosive elements, he is definitely not an ordinary noble."

After a period of silence, the three people looked at each other in confusion. The old man with white beard bared his teeth and whispered: "Is it an invading abyss demon? Some kind of human-shaped demon?"

The moment they finished speaking, the expressions on the three people's faces turned ugly.

The gods have no room for relaxation in their hostility to the abyss. All intelligent creatures within the designated range of abyss demons will be killed.

Oh, no, it's purification.

When various divine messengers come down, they will kill all animals and plants, and even burn every inch of land to ensure that no living creatures exist.

The oracles announced by the priests show that the abyss demon can pollute all life, even insects, even invisible fungi. As long as the number accumulates, demon dogs and even more powerful saliva snake demons will be born.

The most dangerous pollutant here is human beings, so anyone who appears in the polluted area without being protected by the gods will be killed.

Therefore, if this incident is confirmed to be an infiltration of the abyss, their territory will be over. The death of the serfs does not matter, but the lord's relatives and vassals are the lord's power base. If they are all killed, the lord will be doomed.

What's more, the gods will also purify the land. After the purification, the land will become a dead land where no grass will grow, unless the purple corrupted land of the abyss is covered.

"Not an abyss demon, absolutely not."

"Yes, absolutely not."

"This time we are going to be ruthless first and kill all the untouchables. We must not leave any hidden dangers to ourselves."

"Yes, if we kill everyone first, we can't prove that they are contaminated."

The three people confirmed each other's determination and attitude, so they relaxed and began to enjoy the wine and meat.

…

What the lords did not expect was that all the magicians under their command used various methods to hide it from others and converged on the magician with the blue hat.

"Master Zoyas, ours are all here. Please tell us the specific situation."

"Well, this time the problem is big." Zoyas said, "The explosives are not any kind that I know of. They are completely unknown and their power is unimaginable."

He stretched out his right hand, holding a small handful of fine white ash in his palm, showing it to everyone.

All the magicians stepped forward to observe cautiously, then nodded and left one by one.

It is the explosive residue left after the explosion. Generally speaking, it will be filled with large and small lumps. The finer the powder, the better the quality and the greater the power of the explosive.

They knew that some great magicians who were good at producing explosive elements could produce explosive residues as fine as finely sieved loess.

But the powder in front of me was like the finest white flour. Not only was it extremely fine, it was actually white.

A fat magician pressed his right hand on his chest, barely suppressing his heart that was about to burst out, and said uneasily: "This is too scary. I can't imagine the power of such explosive elements."

Zoas laughed, but the laughter was worse than crying. He said: "This magician is too powerful. I don't believe that such a magician is an idiot."

"I don't believe it either."

"Me too."

Zoyas stopped smiling, and then said: "If this magician is not an idiot, then he is here alone to train those untouchables, organize a strange army, and wait for the arrival of the lord army. Why do you think he would do this?"

Without waiting for others to answer, Zoyas said himself: "He is absolutely sure to win this war, even if he trains some untouchables, even if he only trains those untouchables for less than twenty days."

"If he can guarantee victory, we will be in danger."

Another magician with smart eyes said: "Hey, it's not just dangerous. Think about it, where can a great magician that no one knows suddenly appear from now?"

The magicians suddenly exclaimed: "Abyss, devil!"

The magician with flexible eyes nodded and said: "Yes, if we participate in this war, according to the methods of the magicians, how will they deal with us?"

All the magicians took a breath. Of course, it was purification in the euphemistic name, but in fact it was a massacre of the targets designated by the magic stick, and the gods' envoys killed them on a large scale.

Immediately, someone shouted: "The power of the gods is too strong. When the gods want to kill, we are completely unable to resist."

"So, we cannot participate in this war. It is best not to enter the Chihe River Valley."

"We're leaving now."

"No, we need to wait, wait until the night is deep, and wait until the lords are asleep before we leave."

Zoyas stood up and stopped everyone's panic. Then he shook his head and said: "No, if we go this way, the lords and the others will not enter the valley, but will turn around and hunt us down first."

"So, we still have to follow the large army into the valley, but everyone must be prepared to escape. When the lords' army encounters the enemy and the two sides are in a stalemate, it is the best time for us to escape."

"Okay, Master Zoyas's method is the best."

"Remember, no matter how good the relationship is, no one can say too much to the lords. Now we are no longer absolutely safe in front of the lords."

"Don't worry, although my lord is my biological brother, I won't say a word to him."

When the Abyss Demon showed how to kill magicians and clergy, the gods and the church's clergy standing behind them were not affected in any way, but the unorganized and undisciplined magicians were unlucky.

Most of the magicians are technical nerds who are not good at interpersonal communication. The vast majority are dedicated to studying magic.

Their relationship with the lord was actually not harmonious.

Just because the magician was quite useful and unable to fight, the lords had to pinch their noses and tolerate it, and treat the magician as their honored guest.

Now the magician has become useful, but after being killed, it will naturally seriously affect the status of the magician.

Because if you want to fight against the magician, you no longer have to use sneak attacks, poisoning, etc. to get ahead.

As long as they are determined to pay a certain price, the army can kill the magician head-on, and the lords' attitude towards the magician becomes much tougher.

Moreover, after some lords actually had conflicts with magicians, they killed the magician who offended them and used this to intimidate other magicians.

Magicians who had no helpers other than their students turned out to be very vulnerable to the frontal threat from the lord. They had no way to deal with it. For the sake of their own wealth and life, they had to lower their noble heads.

After the magician bows his head, the lords will naturally not go too far, because the magician also has the ability to make their deaths unclear.

As a result, the relationship between the two parties has been maintained, and they are even closer than before.

But the superficial intimacy cannot eliminate the inner rifts. At the critical moment of danger, the disunity between the two sides becomes very obvious.

After the more keen magicians sensed the danger, they immediately made up their minds to take the opportunity to abandon the lord's army and prioritize protecting their own lives.

In this way, the magicians with ulterior motives followed the lord's army, dug out the obstacles on the road step by step, and entered the Red River Valley.

As soon as they walked out of the rugged mountain road, they saw a terrifying army.

The front row of the coalition of lords in the Red River Valley was filled with elite knights and knight attendants. Everyone was wearing armor and helmets, shining in the sun.

Moreover, in this army, not only every lord has a military flag and a family flag, but every named knight also has a corresponding flag, and every unit also has a flag. The dense flags are buzzing in the slight wind, and they are called It can be said that the military power is at its peak.

But compared to the lord's army with people shouting and horses neighing and flags fluttering, Aburame Tetsumaru led 6,000 red-coated troops, which looked very simple.

They simply set up a pure red flag, neatly divided into sixty-five three-row arrays, with ninety-four people in each array.

Six thousand one hundred and eleven people stood on the cleared flat ground, waiting quietly for the lord's army to enter the valley. No one made any sound.

Among them, Aburame Tetsumaru was wearing the same red military uniform as everyone else and stood at the front of everyone. He did not hold any weapons or hold any flags.

But everyone's eyes were focused on him and they couldn't look away.

Seeing the leader leading everyone standing in front of them, with his back turned to face the enemy, the former serfs who had barely adapted to their status as soldiers felt that their panicked hearts gradually calmed down.

In addition to the figure of the leader, the factor that stabilized the mood of the red-coated soldiers was the enemy's confusion.

When they first entered the valley, the noise and activity of the lord's army made the soldiers uneasy. This was the army that had suppressed their ancestors for countless generations. The fear was simply engraved in their bones.

At this time, the Red Army soldiers were really gritting their teeth.

The thick armor, the huge two-handed sword, the six-meter-long spear, and the tall war horse clad all over the body are all powers that the soldiers can intuitively understand.

But the small iron rods in their own hands cannot directly give the soldiers a strong sense of strength. They rely entirely on their trust in the leader.

Who knows that as time goes by, nothing happens on the Red Army's side, but the army on the Lord's side changes.

These knights, squires, and spearmen standing at the forefront are all professional soldiers who have been in the army for generations. They know that discipline is combat effectiveness and formation is defense strength.

Seeing the neat rows of red-coated soldiers, these professional soldiers were frightened and retreated.

No, you can't be so demanding. These soldiers are also prepared to die if the enemy in front of them is the devil dog of the abyss.

What an honor it is to die heroically in the battle against the demon army of the Abyss Hell. Rewards from lords and rewards from gods can make him famous, and his family can also receive generous rewards.

But dying at the hands of a group of untouchables who are not included in any records is another matter. No one will understand how powerful this group of serf soldiers is, and will only think that this professional soldier who died in battle is a fool.

At that time, even the lord who knows the situation will deliberately avoid suspicion and avoid being called blind. All he will get is ridicule and ridicule, and the family will not get any rewards.

Without him as the pillar of support and without adequate compensation, his family will definitely decline, and his children may fall into the untouchable class.

In this case, everyone will be afraid of death, which is understandable.
