Chapter 1824 Dilemma
War is a competition of comprehensive national strength, perhaps because when it comes to life and death, there is no room for retreat.
When industry, agriculture, scientific and technological research and development, and even art and entertainment all serve the purpose of survival, nature will squeeze out all the resources. Technologies that were originally under development and applying for funding will be directly spent unlimitedly as long as they can play a little role.
Take out all the squeezed commodities, industrial chains, and reserve technologies and try them all out. If they work well, work hard to develop mass production. If they don’t work, move on to the next one.
It is somewhat problematic to glorify war, but when war really comes, whether we admit it or not, all kinds of technologies will usher in explosive development, and both good and bad will have to change.
The history of human beings as intelligent creatures is not long, but the time without war is even shorter.
“As much as we hate to admit it, we are probably more professional than the locals when it comes to war and fighting.”
The development of the situation was somewhat beyond expectations. When Lu Ping'an's various priests served the war, he was surprised to find that almost all industrial chains could be used.
"The potion can be used, and it is very effective. Just the healing and temporary amplification effects alone can give you an absolute advantage in a battle of the same level."
Miss Lu guaranteed that as a member of the logistics team, she had completed a large number of adjustments to basic potions.
In view of the local environment, a large number of drugs were taken out for testing and use. The most effective ones were mass-produced and equipped to all the legions as soon as possible.
"The craftsman's workshop is ready. Our weapons are still useful. Compared to the enemy's crude equipment, our armor and weapons are much better. In this regard, we do not need to consume the power of the gods."
The craftsmen's workshops have been fully launched, and a large number of "divine" weapons and protective gear have been mass-produced. They will become the weapons for the front-line fighters.
"The beast herd is ready. Each warrior will be assigned two trained beasts, usually a wolf and an eagle. The front-line melee units will be replaced with bears."
At this time, the animal trainers in the courtyard were also ready.
This is not a humanized beast, because we really can't afford to lose it, and the courtyard's original reserve of trained beasts is quite sufficient. If it is not enough, we will mass produce it now.
"Warriors will learn basic gun skills, basic fighting, first aid and other skills here. Oh, and the perpetual motion abilities in this world are also useful. Useful professional abilities like 'Shrinking the Earth' are also standard."
The library of forbidden knowledge can also become a barracks for quickly training new recruits.
"War props, simple chariots have been mass-produced, and a large number of magical plants can also be used in this world. They can be used on chariots to play the role of 'armored troops', as for artillery."
"The Fire Element Legion of Little Flame is also ready. Although it has not reached the level of activating the Burning Legion, it is not difficult to use a large number of fire elements as artillery supporters. The new life link technology can turn a large number of small fire elements into medium and large ones and directly serve as artillery positions."
"The healers are also ready, including pharmacists, eternal life professionals (lu ping an occupational path), and doctors."
"The gym is already full. All the first-term trainees have completed three 'death' death combat trainings. They won't waver on the battlefield. At least, they won't do anything stupid out of panic."
"The Wishing Well and the Beast Fossil Statue are still full. Too many users have accumulated combat power that can be raised by one or two levels here, greatly increasing the survival rate on the battlefield."
Lu Ping'an's courtyard was in full operation, just like the "barracks" in a real-time strategy game. With a click, the farmers who went in came out as fully armed warriors.
"The first batch of Iron Warriors have completed their armaments. They are equipped with a full set of armor, a spear, a long sword, and a shield. At the same time, they are equipped with two magical pets, a wolf beast as a hunting dog and a falcon as eyes. At the same time, they have also completed almost all basic combat training."
Such a warrior armed to the teeth would be a brave warrior who could sweep away thousands of enemies in the ancient times of the Earth.
But here, even though he has all the traces of the extraordinary, he is still just an ordinary "soldier chess piece".
“Isn’t that a bit of a waste of resources?”
"There's nothing we can do. Human resources are too valuable now."
The first war has already been fought. More than 300 legions, led by Chris and specifically led by Zhixi, launched a tentative attack.
The result was a small victory followed by a retreat.
The reason was quite simple. The opposing defensive corps easily took out 3,000 combat forces, and they were regular defenders.
Even though Zhixi was leading the team, Chris was preparing for battle in the back. After estimating the possible casualties, she still rationally chose to retreat.
It’s not that we can’t fight, it’s that we can’t afford the losses after fighting.
"Number of people is always our weakness."
On Lu Ping'an's side, the main force now is the foreign orcs who have just joined.
The total number is approximately between sixteen and eighteen thousand, which is already considered a very good force. After all, each of them is a very high-quality heroic warrior. Judging by past standards, they are probably at least level three.
Lu Ping'an's human resources were also in the process of transformation. At this time, he could not afford to engage in a war of attrition with his opponent.
"The key is always to increase manpower, whether it is local new orcs or our own manpower."
But what made Lu Ping'an helpless was that there were constantly soldiers completing the transformation in his own courtyard, and there was still a serious shortage of manpower.
At the same time, there is a more serious problem.
"How can a random small warlord have an army of more than 100,000? Isn't this too exaggerated?"
"Everyone is a soldier. The weak will be swallowed up, and the stronger will become the king."
Those who can regain their humanity in this world have basically killed countless people and can become a fighting force when necessary.
The permanent population of Lu Ping'an Courtyard is less than 100,000 people now, and the actual combat power is only nearly 1,000. This is already quite impressive. After all, Lu Ping'an is not a warlord on Earth.
Although they are all elite, even if they are all converted now, they still will not be enough in this world.
What's even more frustrating is that Lu Ping'an can't afford the deaths. If the other side dies a few, they will be re-entered into reincarnation. Lu Ping'an not only has a huge amount of pension, but also non-renewable resources. At the same time, if too many people die, people's morale will be scattered, and there is no need to lead the team anymore.
Under such circumstances, it is only natural that the new military forces are armed to the teeth and emphasize quality rather than quantity.
"But in terms of quality, we are no match for those veteran lords. The blessings and gifts they give to their legions far exceed ours."
The bloodlines of those orcs are also constantly evolving. The veterans of hundreds of battles and the rookies are really not the same species. The mythical orcs can easily crush mortals.
Continuously evolving oneself and one's bloodline in war may be the reason for the existence of the world.
But as a new player, Lu Ping'an is obviously at a disadvantage.
The beastmen transformed from humans are obviously not as good as the local strong beastmen if we only look at the species itself. They all rely on the blessing of their profession.
"Armament and technology are used to make up for innate advantages. Individual strength is not enough now, so let's carry out a localized industrial revolution. We can add one plus one, adding the orc bloodline to the career paths of our world. We can form hybrid professions and play to our logistical advantages. We can create tailor-made targeted career paths."
