Fangzheng had played a game called "Command & Conquer" before, in which one of the forces had a machine gun tower that could be used against air and ground targets. Fangzheng's favorite thing to do was to quickly upgrade his technology at the start of the game. Once he got out of the machine gun tower, he would only build these things. After all, machine gun turrets didn't cost much. It was just that their range was limited. Fangzheng was rather patient. He could spend an entire morning to cover the entire map with machine gun turrets, all the way to the entrance of the enemy's camp.
And then … .there was no then.
And now, Fangzheng was planning to do the same. More turrets would be the mainstream in the future. If you did not win, it must be because you did not have enough turrets. As long as there were enough turrets, any problem would not be a problem. Therefore, as long as there were enough turrets, any problem could be easily solved.
Therefore, Fangzheng's suggestion was to first let Iona and the others lead the way. If they encountered a magical beast, they would bombard it with a wave of ground bombardment. Then, the Paladins would cooperate with the Cursed Children to clean up the ground. After that, they would place three layers of photon cannons around the outside of the crystal tower ….
Fangzheng estimated that with the power of the photon cannons, as long as they did not encounter a Lord-level magical beast, they would basically be killed in an instant ….
Of course, building photon cannons also required resources. Seeing that Wales had been stationed in the Northern Fortress for so many years, Fangzheng was too embarrassed to ask for more from him. He only gave him a 50% discount from the original 100 times.
After all, Fangzheng was not a demon.
Wales agreed without hesitation. Spirit crystals were military resources that ordinary people could not get their hands on, but the Northern Fortress itself was a military organization, so it naturally had a large number of spirit crystals stored. These spirit crystals were only used to repair some magic equipment and recharge magic cannons in the Northern Fortress. There was nothing particularly important about them.
Therefore, Wales did not hesitate to accept Fangzheng's request, especially after seeing the power of the photon cannons. He did not mind giving almost all the spirit crystals stored in the Northern Fortress to Fangzheng, leaving only a small portion for emergencies. Not only that, he also promised Fangzheng that if the effect was good, he would apply for more spirit crystals from the rear. Fangzheng naturally accepted it.
After all, these spirit crystals were left here to be used for magic cannons. Fangzheng's photon cannons were more powerful than magic cannons, and it was fully automatic, so it did not require manual operation. After comparing the goods, Wales resolutely abandoned the few old magic cannons in the Northern Fortress and decisively "found a new hobby".
Of course, this was a serious matter, and Head of the Knights Wales could not make the decision on his own, so he had to report it to the Holy Cathedral. The Holy Cathedral's response was quick. Almost the second day after Head of Knight Wales sent the message, Bishop Karl rushed over through the teleportation circle.
"I didn't expect Sir Fangzheng to make such a suggestion. It is also very important for the Holy Cathedral to be able to reclaim our lost land."
Bishop Karl, who had rushed to the fortress, did not say a word. He first sucked up to Fangzheng. In fact, Bishop Karl was also rather excited. One must know that he was the one who guaranteed the joint operation with the Tendo Temple. If anything happened to Fangzheng, this old vampire bishop would probably have a hard time.
Initially, Bishop Karl only thought that he would be able to solve the problem of the magical beasts in the Northern Territory. However, he did not expect Fangzheng to bring him such a pleasant surprise. If they could really reclaim the entire Northern Territory, it would definitely be a huge victory for the Country of Saints! Not only could it strengthen the position and influence of the Country of Saints in the hearts of the people, but it could also expand the territory of Order!
As for the ownership of this territory, Bishop Karl did not particularly care. It would be better if Fangzheng was willing to take it. This way, they could be neighbors with the Tendo Temple. If neighbors wanted to build a relationship, it would definitely be easier, right?
After all, the Country of Saints was not a simple country. To the Country of Saints, their biggest enemy was not other enemies who coveted their territory, but the monsters in Chaos. As for things like territory, whether they obtained it themselves, or if Fangzheng obtained it, or if other forces obtained it, in short, as long as they did not let Chaos get it, they would agree even if it was handed over to the demons.
Although the demons were evil, they were also the guardians of Order. Of course, the security at the border must be strengthened.
Everyone did not hold any ceremony. Whether it was Fangzheng, Wales, or Karl, they were all practical people. They had no interest in exchanging cups of wine. They just had a meeting to confirm each other's responsibilities. Fangzheng was only responsible for the coordination between the fleet and the Cursed Children's ground forces. Wales would command the troops of the Fortress to explore and defend the front. After all, they were the local tyrants here, and they were the most familiar with the terrain here.
Bishop Karl would replace Wales to oversee the Northern Fortress and be responsible for logistics. Occupying a piece of land was certainly not as simple as setting up a base and waiting to be mined like in the game. But in this regard, the Country of Saints was the professional, so Fangzheng left it to them.
Anyway, if there were any problems, he could just ask them to change the requirements.
Logically speaking, this kind of operation should only be carried out after everything was organized, but … the Chaos monsters obviously would not act according to Fangzheng's schedule.
"Boom — —!!"
Beams of light descended from the sky and turned the ground into a sea of fire. Countless Chaos monsters screamed and turned into charcoal in the high temperature. The crows in the sky did not even have time to spread out before they were directly killed by the unicorns. When they fell to the ground, not even their corpses were left.
"Roar — —!!"
Suddenly, a monster the size of a rhinoceros rushed out of the sea of fire. Although its fur seemed to be burnt black, it did not seem to have suffered too much damage. The Chaos monster was obviously blinded by anger. After rushing out of the sea of fire, it roared and pounced on the team in front of it.
"Everyone, be careful! This is a mid-tier monster!"
The leading holy knight hurriedly shouted at the Chaos monster in front of him. Soon, several other holy knights came over with weapons and shields. At the same time, the priests behind them raised their scepters and the mages were ready for battle. But before they could do anything, two girls in black uniforms suddenly raised the strange weapons in their hands, aimed at the monster in front of them, and pulled the trigger.
"Da da da — —"
Along with the gunshots, hundreds of bullets burst out and hit the monster's body. The monster's huge head was instantly smashed into pieces. Then, the monster's body suddenly froze, fell to the ground, and rolled on the ground, never to move again.
"Ugh …"
Looking at this scene, the soldiers of the Northern Fortress were dumbfounded and speechless for a while. They didn't know what to say at all. Along the way, they could tell that the weapons in the girls' hands should be some kind of magical crossbow. But this kind of "crossbow" was much more powerful than ordinary magic, and more importantly, it was quite fast. If they were in their shoes, perhaps they wouldn't have any way to dodge such an attack. They could only open their shields and take it head-on.
"Thank you for your help."
After a while, the leader of the holy knights nodded to the two girls and thanked them solemnly. Upon hearing his words of thanks, the two girls smiled and didn't say anything.
Overall, the Cursed Children got along well with the soldiers of the Holy Cathedral. But perhaps because they had suffered too much in the dark world, most of the Cursed Children, except for some of the more lively ones, held a distant attitude towards the holy knights.
The holy knights didn't mind. Although it was not explicitly stated, they were not like Fangzheng, who was a half-baked Holy Knight. Each of them was familiar with the holy scriptures. Looking at the mountain-like metal warships above their heads, and the girls with light wings who could fly everywhere, it was obvious that even if they weren't the emissaries of God, they were not far from it.
Because of that, the holy knights were a little reserved towards the girls. Keeping some distance between the two sides actually made the holy knights feel relieved. After all, these holy knights were devout believers. Although they wouldn't have any evil intentions towards these children, if they accidentally offended them, it would be a great sin.
"So far, everything is going well …."
Sitting in the command room and watching the battlefield through the screen, Fangzheng nodded in satisfaction. Although it was the first time the two sides were working together, they seemed to have a tacit understanding. Although there were more magical beasts here than there were ants, they couldn't withstand a round of attacks from the Sea Mist fleet. The remaining magical beasts that slipped through the net were killed by the Cursed Children with their guns. On the contrary, the holy knights who were ready for battle were not of much use. They could only cheer from the side.
"Captain."
At the same time, Iona, who was sitting at the table next to Fangzheng, suddenly raised her head. A blue glow flashed in her eyes.
"Large lifeform response detected."
"Oh?"
Hearing Iona's report, Fangzheng couldn't help but feel refreshed.
