Chapter 2037 Unstoppable
It doesn’t mean that after being killed, you can press the resurrection button to revive again.
The Sky Island World is a real world. Here, just like the original world, some things cannot escape the law of time.
So even if they defeat the World Government, their personnel will definitely suffer a large number of casualties.
If another force comes to take advantage of them and attack them, how can they deal with it?
Even if they are extremely powerful and deal with this wave, will there be no next wave?
Their strength will only become weaker and weaker as the number of battles increases.
There will be more and more injured and dead subordinates until they can no longer fight.
At that time, even if they plunder a large amount of resources, what does it matter?
In the end, these can only be taken away by other forces, after all, they are just helping others to make wedding clothes.
So again, before they take action, they must first conduct a certain investigation, and confirm that after swallowing the other party, they must at least have enough strength to deal with other forces.
Otherwise, they dare not eat such a big pie, because if they are not careful, they may not eat the big pie but be eaten by the big pie.
This is why the lord only sent Zhang Jun to participate in the competition.
Because Zhang Jun is the only one, no matter how powerful he is, his role in the entire power battle is still minimal.
After all, many times it is not your turn to fight alone, and when you can't fight ten or one hundred, the whole battle is doomed.
At that time, no matter how powerful you are, can you be more powerful than those catapults and crossbow carts?
These things are powerful enough to break even the city walls, let alone humans with flesh and blood.
Some people may say that siege weapons are indeed powerful and the attack distance is indeed far enough.
But he has one biggest flaw, which is his attack time.
Because of the huge power, these siege weapons cannot be fired continuously like ordinary weapons.
After each launch, ammunition (boulders, giant crossbows) needs to be replenished.
Because the manifestation of these things is relatively large, it takes several people to complete each replenishment.
From installation to launch, even if the coordination is the best, it takes at least a few minutes.
This is why many sky islands have to place several catapults and crossbows at the same time.
Because every time they replenish ammunition, they can use other catapults and crossbows to attack, and then wait for the other side to refill the ammunition before continuing to attack.
In this way, they can keep firing continuously in a short time.
In addition to this, there is another biggest problem, that is, although this siege weapon is very lethal, its target position is also more obvious.
It seems to be very fast, but there is actually a certain time difference from launch to landing each time.
Because of the huge impact, if someone locks the attack position of the catapult or crossbow in advance, they can quickly dodge before being hit.
This is also why catapults and crossbows are generally used to attack city walls or other buildings.
Because these buildings cannot move, they can only passively defend and cannot dodge.
So basically, after these buildings are locked by catapults and crossbows, they can hit them accurately.
Moreover, his defense was not very effective. At most, he reinforced these buildings and built some protective nets on top of them with some stones or wood to resist the attacks of catapults and crossbows.
However, due to the distance and the impact of falling from a high altitude, such defense can be said to be useless under the attack of catapults and crossbows.
Therefore, when the two sides attacked, even if there were no casualties, even if they finally defeated the other side, most of their buildings would be destroyed without any accidents.
To reduce the losses in this regard, we can only see who has more catapults and crossbows and who can attack faster.
Or see who can destroy the opponent's catapults and crossbows first. Once there are no catapults and crossbows, the attack power of this side will be greatly reduced.
Because at the beginning, neither side will connect the sky islands together, and they often attack from a long distance first.
This is also done to reduce the casualties of members of their own forces.
Because once they get close, it will be a landing battle, and at that time, siege weapons may not be of any use, and they can only kill each other with real swords and guns.
Only at this time can we see the physical fitness and combat effectiveness of each person.
Before the landing battle, we look at who has more resources and who has more equipment.
For example, the well-equipped party may have beaten the opponent before the final landing battle. Once they land, won’t the opponent be captured easily?
It’s just easy to say, but it’s still difficult to do it.
As I just said, before landing on the island, we basically rely on long-range siege weapons such as catapults and crossbows to cause casualties to the opponent, and also to reduce our losses.
However, catapults and crossbows also require skills to operate.
The power that can be exerted by the party with strong operation is at least several times that of the party with poor operation.
So the final victory or defeat of a battle can often be seen from here.
Because catapults and crossbow carts do not have so-called sights, the attack angle is adjusted manually.
If the target itself is huge, such as a huge target like a city gate or a palace, then even if you aim casually, you can easily hit it.
But if the target is changed to a relatively small target like a catapult or crossbow cart.
Then you need very strong skills to hit it.
Because the attack range of a boulder is only slightly larger than that of a catapult or crossbow cart.
Once you deviate a little, it is very likely that this attack will fail.
Once the opponent hits you, do you think you still have a chance to win?
After all, whether it is a catapult or a crossbow cart, such things are expensive, so even the top forces will not have too much inventory.
Of course, it is not enough to have inventory alone. This thing itself has no power and must be used with boulders and giant crossbow arrows.
This thing is not only a consumable, but also expensive.
In addition, the Merchant Alliance had already set up mechanisms when they were making the crossbows and catapults.
In order to allow everyone to continue to take care of the Merchant Alliance's business, the number of times these siege weapons are sold is limited.
