Chapter 573 Rest and recuperate


    The battle with the Reaper was not the most difficult for Duanmuhuai, but it did lose many warships in the Inquisition. Therefore, after the battle of the Reapers ended, the Inquisition began a new round of work to collect resources and expand the fleet.


    After fighting with the Reaper, Duanmu Huai also understood that although the Reaper in the game was almost extinct by the players, the problem was that there were no players on his side. It can be said that he is playing the stand-alone version of the online game. In the game, the players fight to kill the things that are almost extinct. On his side, he can also crush him to death by counting just.


    The harvesters are like this. Then when the Tyran Zerg came, weren’t they even more dead?


    Faced with this situation, what else can Duanmu Huai do?


    There is only one way.


    Explosion soldiers!


    Explode soldiers to death!


    It would be better if he could break into a guild by himself!


    Simple and crude, just use quantity A to go up.


    This problem is still easy to solve, but other problems are not so easy to solve.


    For example...management.


    Yes, Duanmuhuai found that there were too few people in his fleet who could command battles.


    Like this time, I was busy with myself almost the whole process. Others were not helping me except to cheer myself up... Of course, they can''t blame them. An and Gureya are princesses. They are good at magical combat, but commanding a fleet is another matter.


    As for the rest...Filene and Odaire, Lorena couldn''t count on it. Bambi and Kura wouldn''t even think about it. Even if they wanted it, Duanmu Huai wouldn''t dare to hand over the command of the fleet to these little boys.


    From this perspective, I seemed to have all soldiers under my command, and I had no generals at all!


    It’s right to think about it carefully. After all, Duanmu Huai is a lone wolf in the game. Even if he is hired by the guild, he is still a pioneer. He doesn’t need to mobilize troops and generals in the rear at all. He just needs to do it according to the employer’s orders. So Duanmu Huai has never considered this issue, but now it seems that he has to consider this issue.


    So Duanmuhuai called everyone... The three cobblers beat Zhuge Liang, so they should have a few good ideas.


    "Hey? There seems to be no one like this in Manalia..."


    "Mr. Duanmu wants staff and generals, it''s hard to find such people..."


    "Why would you like to ask Mr. Duanmu to ask how many people Xinglian wants? There should be many people who are good at commanding the fleet."


    "Is it the fleet of the Inquisition or the Star Alliance? How to guarantee loyalty?"


    Although An, Gureya and others were not good at commanding operations, as royal families, they immediately noticed the biggest problem.


    Yes, loyalty.


    The army is the greatest pillar of power, and as the person who commands the army, loyalty must be the most important. This is also why emperors of all dynasties often put talented people away, but instead chose some mediocre talents as generals to command the army. After all, for many rulers, whether there is talent or not is second, and whether loyalty or not is first.


    If you are talented but not loyal, then you are waiting to be put on a yellow robe?


    Especially a talented and ambitious general. If he doesn''t meet an emperor who is also talented and ambitious and can control him, who dares to hand over the army with confidence?


    Although the Inquisition is not a country, as the pioneers of fighting against aliens, heretics and demons, their requirements for this aspect are only higher than those of the emperor. If the court cannot agree with the concepts and means of the court, then it will not join. In this case, it is indeed very difficult to find a suitable one.


    And at this moment, the bell girl raised her hand with a smile.


    "So, do you want to look for it in the non-commissioned officer school?"


    “Non-commissioned officer school?”


    "Yes, there are non-commissioned officer schools in our world that specialize in training military officers. Among the students there, there may be suitable talents."


    "Your world... is somewhat lower in level."


    This is also why Duanmu Huai has never thought about finding officers from Manalia and Skyrim Province before. After all, the tactics they learn are all on the plane, but the universe war is a sphere of 360 degrees. To put it bluntly, a fleet can circumvent your chrysanthemums from the bottom to the back. Moreover, in the universe, it is extremely difficult to distinguish between up and down and left and right. Ordinary generals are confused when they encounter enemies...


    "Hey? But sir, what you want is not an ordinary general. If you are that kind of genius, you won''t be able to learn it and you will be able to be o(=∩ω∩=


    "It seems to make sense to say this."


    After hearing what Lingnu said, Duanmu Huai also felt that it made sense. Indeed, what is the use of his court to be an ordinary general? He needs that kind of genius. Since he is a genius, he will definitely be able to bear fruit regardless of the times.


    "Wait a moment."


    Duanmuhuai was also very fast. After making the decision, he immediately gave orders to Liumiel. After a while, Duanmuhuai returned to the room with a helmet and handed the helmet to the bell girl.


    "Woo Meow? Is this??"


    "A VR tactical simulator, used by Star Alliance, I asked Rumier to help me adjust the parameters and change it to the inquisition version. You use this to find someone. If you see the right one, let him test it, and then tell me who has passed the test."


    Although it is to select people, Duanmu Huai did not relax the selection standards. This VR tactical simulator originally used by Xinglian was changed into two parts. The first part is a tutorial, which allows players to understand the rules of cosmic combat, and the opponent is a swarm of insects.


    The second part is actual combat. Players must lead an Inquisition Army to simulate what to do when the Tyranns swarm attacks a galaxy.


    That’s right, this is equivalent to the first level of the tutorial being hell.


    After all, there is only one level. Duanmu Huai wanted to see who would last the longest time in this situation!


    After all, the battle in the Inquisition itself is almost endless, and it is impossible to do without a big heart of perseverance.


    "Woo meow, understand, don''t worry, leave it to Lingnu!"


    I have to say that as a top ninja, Suzunn’s movement is indeed very fast. In just one week, she successfully brought back data to Duanmu Huai.


    As for the evaluation...


    “Many people say it’s too difficult.”


    "This is normal. Isn''t it difficult to see their strength?"


    Duanmu Huai said as he took back his helmet and then turned on the data.


    Well, most people only supported it for more than ten minutes and were finished. This is normal. After all, the grades are different, and Duanmu Huai didn''t expect it... But the first place is an exaggeration.


    "Five hours? Have you passed the test successfully? Are you teasing me?"


    Looking at the record in front of him, Duanmu Huai was shocked. You should know that this is a nightmare difficulty. Even Duanmu Huai himself may not be sure whether he can win if he fights like this. How did the other party do it?


    With curiosity, Duanmuhuai opened the game recording video and started watching.


    At the beginning of the battle, the commander could not get any information. He only knew that unknown aliens invaded the galaxy and needed the commander to investigate the situation. Then he let the commander perform his freedom. In the records that Duanmuhuai had read before, most of them sent scouts at the first time and were then wiped out by the insect swarm. Then they either chose to divide their troops around to engage in guerrillas or stick to the planet.


    But in fact, these two are normal, but it is useless to deal with the Zerg. After all, the insect swarm can explode soldiers on the spot. Whether it is fighting guerrilla or defense, when the two sides fight, the commander faces the insect swarm that is far beyond his expectations, and then the opponent will directly sweep away. However, the commander''s reaction was very strange. He also sent scouts, but not just one wave, but four consecutive waves - of course, the first wave of scouts was eliminated, but at the same time, the other party also obtained general information from the subsequent three waves of scouts. Then, the opponent led the main fleet and rushed directly to the battlefield.


    "Isn''t this a death?"


    Looking at the scene in front of him, Duanmu Huai couldn''t help but complain. The commander only had one fleet under his command. Although the insect swarm was a vanguard, the number was definitely not something that a fleet could deal with. Once the two sides confronted each other head-on, there would inevitably be heavy casualties.


    But he fought for five hours? ?


    Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai looked curiously.


    Then, a scene that shocked him and his chin appeared.


    The fleet did not enter the battlefield directly, but stopped far away from the swarm of insects and then... opened fire directly.


    “???”


    Duanmu Huai looked at the series of artillery fire across the Star Sea, flying towards the army of insects, and then exploded inside... and looked confused.


    This is OK?


    Seeing this, Duanmu Huai understood the other party’s thoughts somewhat. Simply put, it is an out-of-visual range attack.


    No, this is no longer an out-of-visual range attack, it is the level of a cruise missile at all.


    This is actually very normal. Generally, weapons have the difference between "effective range" and "maximum range". The so-called "effective range" refers to the accurate distance that the weapon reaches the expected accuracy and power requirements when shooting a predetermined target. "Maximum range" refers to the farthest distance from the bullet after it flew out of the muzzle. The accuracy does not matter, and the power does not matter, just look at the distance.


    Of course, there is no accuracy at all, it means you can get wherever you hit.


    But in the universe, this is another matter.


    As we all know, the universe is a vacuum environment with almost zero resistance. Once it is launched, it will fly forward. Of course, if it is an energy attack, it will disappear as the energy itself is exhausted. But if it is a shell, it will fly all the time... either hitting some unlucky celestial body, or you don''t know where to go.


    So strictly speaking, as long as you predict the opponent''s position and speed, you can indeed use this method to launch an attack. Just like after the submarine predicts the speed and route of the warship, it can also hit the target directly with a torpedo, and then it will be too late when the other party finds out.


    The principle is very simple, but in fact, this trick is not easy to use on the actual battlefield.


    The reason is also very simple.


    The universe is too big...


    Even if it is a galaxy, if you put ten thousand warships in it, it will be a drop in the ocean. It is a dream to try to use this method to attack beyond the visual range, which is as difficult as hitting a fly five thousand meters away without aiming with a pistol. Not to mention that the universe is not in the sea. People can hide wherever they want to go up and down, left and right. As long as you fail the first wave of attack, it is equivalent to exposing your position directly to the other party.


    Players have also tried this method, but later said that this was not something that people could play at all, so they gave up.


    But now, are there actually people who really use this method to fight?


    Sure enough, although the first wave of attacks hit the swarm, the swarm also locked the attacker''s position. Soon, a large number of insects quickly moved forward, as if a huge monster stretched out its huge tentacles and tried to catch the prey hidden in the depths of the darkness.


    Almost at the same time, Duanmuhuai immediately responded when he saw the fleet. They retreated and continued to fire. What Duanmuhuai could not imagine was that he hit him almost every time he fired!


    How did this be done?


    You should know that when the fleet launches an attack, the insect swarm is still outside their field of vision. When ordinary people look at it, they will only feel that the fleet is consuming ammunition meaninglessly. However, in fact, each attack from the opponent accurately hit the most dense and concentrated place in the swarm.


    Is it through the scout army?


    Duanmuhuai of course also saw that the other three scouts did not withdraw from the battlefield, but kept monitoring the insect army from afar. If this method is used to calculate the orientation and coordinates of the insect swarm troops, as well as the speed and predetermined track, you can indeed launch an attack in advance - but Duanmu Huai cannot do such a thing.


    Because this requires a lot of calculations, his brain will crash if it exceeds four operations.


    As for the high-level calculus, I will return it to the school after graduation.


    “No wonder I can play for five hours.”


    Duanmu Huai quickly forward and watched the whole process, and shook his head helplessly. The opponent''s tactics are very clear, which is to use this kind of kite that attacks the insect swarms beyond the visual range to delay time, and then evacuate civilians on other planets as much as possible. When the insect swarm attacks the planet for "on-site supply", they will directly smash the extinction order and insist on adopting the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields. Slowly, they will get rid of most of the insect swarm''s vitality bit by bit. Then they will attack the core warships of the insect swarm, break the defense in one breath and then defeat it.


    The whole process is smooth and it is done in one go. In the first four hours, almost the fleet is grinding blood, just like a level 1 player challenging the final boss. Maybe I will only drop 1 drop of blood when I hit you, but as long as you don’t hit me, I will be able to kill you.


    In the last half hour, when the vanguard troops of the swarm were almost exhausted by this tactic, the originally retreated fleet accelerated suddenly, tore through the opponent''s ragged defense net and then rushed directly into the battlefield. When they caught the Zerg mothership, they bombed them in an endless stream and finally won.


    From the combat level, it is impeccable. Of course, the only flaw is that when the other party set up evacuation, it did not consider the existence of the chicken thief, which caused most of the evacuated transport ships to be hacked by the chicken thief, which also caused a certain degree of loss to the fleet... But overall, considering that this is the first time the other party fought against the Tyron Swarm, it is indeed good to be able to fight this.


    “Well, it’s very good.”


    After reading the process, Duanmu Huai nodded with satisfaction. The other party''s wonderful ideas were second. What Duanmu Huai attracted most was the ability of this commander to manipulate several fleets at the same time. You must know that Duanmu Huai only gave him one fleet at first, and then the commander first divided the fleet into four scout formations, and then divided the transport ship into three formations to go to the planet for evacuation. At the same time, he also needed to keep locking and predicting the direction and position of the swarm army, and seize the favorable opportunity to fight back... This is exactly what Duanmu Huai needs.


    "It''s just him, where is this person''s information?"


    "Here, her name is Aikot Maryus, and she is the chief of the NCO Academy."


    "Is she a woman? Forget it, this question is not important, but the chief... this is not easy to deal with. Will she come?"


    "I think it should be fine. Because she is a civilian, she has been bullied in the non-commissioned officer academy. In fact, she is now in debt. I heard that she borrowed usury to pay the tuition fees and can''t pay the money at the moment..."


    "Ha? I just can''t figure out what kind of brain circuit this is."


    Duanmu Huai was shocked when he heard the report from Lingnu. To be honest, every time he saw similar scenes in the novel and animation games, he always felt incredible. You said that you are bullied because of your introverted and cowardly personality and poor learning, but it is incredible that you will be bullied as a top student. After all, in the era of Duanmuhuai, every top student was the heart of the class teacher, and it was all covered by the teacher. Whoever dared to cause trouble for those three good students was directly dealt with by the teacher and cried and called her parents.


    Or are the times changed? Now the teacher doesn’t even take care of the top students and the chief of the college? Then what do you teachers do? Have a dry meal?


    "And, according to my investigation, her military advisor level is also the highest among all humans, but LV2."


    "Are you serious?"


    Hearing this, Duanmu Huai couldn''t sit still. Of course, he knew that people in the world of Lingnu could see their level limits and talent skills. Among the people Duanmuhuai knew, one of the people with the strongest command and combat capabilities was Uruze, the girl in the Seth Kingdom who used to be in a wheelchair. Her military advisor level was only LV1.


    However, this civilian-born Aikot actually has the military advisor level of LV2?


    You should know that the skill LV3 is the highest limit, and many people in that world are not even LV1.


    From this point of view, Aikot is indeed in line with the title of a genius military advisor.


    "Take her over here immediately... Forget it, I''ll go find her!"


    Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai could no longer sit still.
