The people of the West Wind Valley all looked at the two cannon barrels on O'Brien's back, and then at the main cannon on their backs or shoulders. They were all deep in thought and did not speak.
Given the power of the plasma cannon and the railgun, even if they did not equip both, they would at least choose one. Their first choice was the railgun. Because although the latter had limited ammunition, its energy consumption was lower than the former, and the small size of the railgun could still produce a decent amount of power.
However, after the plasma cannon was shrunk, as long as the energy stored was lower than a certain limit, it would become worse than a water gun. The plasma cannon was not a simple energy projectile, but an attack method that relied on a large amount of energy to knock the enemy unconscious and kill them.
However, a certain human magician had vaguely pointed out the use of the main cannon, and everyone was not stupid enough to not understand the meaning behind it. But someone asked anxiously, 'Friend, is this okay?'
In one sentence, Lin understood the concerns of the people of the West Wind Valley, or rather, this was the mentality of many martial artists of the old era. If you want to fight, you have to fight head-on; it would be too despicable to use sneak attacks or sneak attacks.
Such a concept could actually be said to be a concept deliberately led by the ruler for the convenience of ruling. The most obvious example was that in the Middle Ages, civilians and knights in Europe could use guns, swords, and bows, but crossbows were only allowed to be used and held by the army; in the Song Dynasty, people could carry swords and sticks everywhere, but carrying a bow was a violation of the law.
At that time, the social trend that was advocated was mostly close combat heroes and long range bears, so people were keen on close combat. But why was the official organization the one that kept the most long range weapons? This was thought-provoking.
Lin also explained, "Friend, think about it. Because you have both hands and can use tools, is it shameful to use weapons to hunt beasts that can't use tools? '
The people of the West Wind Valley, including O'Brien, all shook their heads in response to Lin's question.
Lin continued, 'Then what do you mean by carrying long-range guns and cannons on your backs, but are ashamed to use them, and would rather run in front of your opponent and greet them with your fists? Do you think that with the firing speed and preparation time of the plasma cannon or railgun, they are weapons that can be safely used in fierce close combat? Or is it just a very beautiful decoration? '
Being mocked mercilessly, the people of the West Wind Valley looked at each other. However, how could a view that had been maintained for a lifetime be changed so easily? Olean thought about someone's suggestion and said hesitantly, "Friend, I'm not against your opinion. However, things like sneak attacks … Hmm, it's not too good after all. '
O 'Brien probably understood the meaning of the railgun's range the best. This meant that they could attack their targets from outside their line of sight. However, attacking from outside his line of sight was considered a sneak attack no matter what.
Looking at the tall iron man, he chose his words carefully to avoid hurting people. Lin Zaigao looked at O 'Brien a few times in the face of such thoughtfulness and couldn't help but find it a little funny.
Lin said, "I don't know if the people of Moonlight Bay will notify us first when they come looking for trouble, or if they will just yell and charge at you. If it's the latter, then the so-called 'not a sneak attack' is just an extra window of time for the enemy to appear in front of you. If he really didn't want to bear the name of being unjust, then it was simple. Find someone brave enough to go to Moon Bay and issue a declaration of war. Tell them we're going to beat you up, so get ready. That way, it wouldn't be considered a sneak attack. "
"Hmm." It sounded like a fallacy, but it felt somewhat correct. The people of West Wind Valley pondered.
Seeing that this group of stone heads couldn't wrap their heads around it for a moment, Lin had to say again, "We've already declared that we're going to fight. Do we have to tell them how we're going to fight and to ask them to prepare targeted defenses? That's too much. "
"Hmm, that's not necessary." Scratching his head resentfully, O 'Brien asked tentatively, "Then advance to the settlement of Moon Bay, send someone to declare war, and then carry out the bombardment?"
Lin smiled again at the tall iron man's overly cautious opinion. Pointing to the ground, he asked, "From this position, do you have a way to directly bombard Moon Bay?"
The place that the people of West Wind Valley had chosen to stop was on the hills. At the end of their field of vision was a bay terrain, but the Earth Elemental Plane didn't have real seawater. What was churning there was a kind of low-temperature magma that was unique to the Earth Elemental Plane.
The reason for this was that the excessively high concentration of magic energy destroyed the structures of ordinary inorganic materials that didn't have the characteristics of storing magic energy, so they couldn't maintain a solid appearance. And this kind of destruction could actually be seen as a kind of purification and smelting. Because in the rubbing and baptism of magic energy, the liquefied inorganic materials would gradually change their characteristics, merge with the magic energy, and even change the arrangement of the crystals.
In other words, what Lin was seeing was the process of ordinary materials being refined and extracted into magic materials. It was just that this process was not man-made, but a natural phenomenon of the Earth Elemental Plane.
At the edge of the Smelting Sea, the shore seemed to be struggling to withstand the erosion of the Smelting Sea, and a crescent-shaped bay had been eroded out. And at the intersection of the sea and the shore, glittering crystals could be seen in the distance being constantly washed away. This might be the reason why Moon Bay Settlement had settled in this position. Those crystals that had been washed to the shore were undoubtedly materials suitable to become the bodies of elemental creatures.
As for the location of Moonlight Bay Settlement, it was roughly 5.6 kilometers away from the place where Olean and the others had stopped. There was no cover in the middle, and there was no doubt about it from top to bottom. Of course, at such a distance, the settlement was about the size of a grain of rice. If one's eyesight was poor, they might even miss it.
At such a distance, O 'Brien's steel face could actually make a similar expression. He narrowed his eyes, stared for a while, and then gave up and said: "My friend, although the railgun can hit Moon Bay, but we can't aim at anyone. If you just want to give a warning, maybe we can advance to a closer position. "
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk!" He clicked his tongue and shook his finger. Lin said with a look of regret: "You still haven't grasped the main point, that's not how artillery battles are fought. And do you think that the gift of the kindling is only this steel body? No, as I said, the biggest gift is here. … "
Lin pointed to his head and emphasized again.
"… is knowledge, as well as the ability dominated by knowledge. All of this should exist in the inheritance of the kindling. But it seems that you are still not used to the new inheritance knowledge. "
Seeing that the steel giants of the West Wind Valley were all at a loss. Lin shook his head and said helplessly: "How about this. For this battle, you hand over the command to me first. I used my method to lead you in battle once. After this battle, the command will be returned. Unless you take the initiative to make a request or ask me, I will no longer intervene in your battle. How about this, are you willing to trust me again? "
The reason why he emphasized trust again was nothing more than to remind O 'Brien and the others that they had already trusted a certain human Magician once in the process of transforming their elemental bodies by the kindling. Everything was difficult at the beginning, but since it was started, then everything else was logical. For example, it didn't seem so difficult to trust him again.
