Chapter 463

Although her magic memory was sealed, it didn't take Dorothy long to re-learn the Eight Formations Diagram military strategy skill; after all, the essence of this Taoist technique wrapped in magic clothing was originally the knowledge of the Bagua Eight Formations and Qimen Dunjia from her previous life.

And these memories inherited from her previous life were not affected by the Witch's Night.

In fact, the military strategy knowledge Dorothy learned in this life was also not blocked; after all, these military theories essentially belonged to basic theories that mortals could also come into contact with and learn, and they hadn't reached the level that needed to be blocked.

It's just that the special magic skills that were sublimated on the basis of military strategy knowledge, such as various legion halos, were all hit, without exception.

But it's not a big problem, because for a Home Witch, with the basic knowledge of those military strategies, deducing and creating various legion auxiliary magic is as simple as eating and drinking.

Hmm, it's like doing multiplication between multi-digit numbers after you've proficiently memorized the multiplication table isn't actually very difficult.

Besides, in fact, it didn't take Dorothy long to research the Eight Formations Diagram from scratch back then, only a few months before and after; now that she had the foundation, re-reproducing that process would only be faster; she actually only spent ten days or so to get everything done this time.

The only trouble is, military strategy, as the name suggests, is a method of using troops, and she wasn't a commander of a bare-bones army now, but she only had two or three kittens under her; there were no troops, so having military strategy was useless.

Fortunately, lacking troops is a very troublesome thing for others, but it is not a big problem for a Home Witch; after all, she is also a puppeteer at the same time.

A puppeteer who can't produce troops is definitely not an excellent puppeteer.

Although the recognized king of troop production in the industry is the Necromancer, after all, the signboard of the Undead Scourge is really famous, but in fact, puppeteers have always had many complaints about this; they all feel that they are the true kings of troop production.

After all, if a Necromancer wants to set off an Undead Scourge, they must first require corpses as spell-casting materials; if they encounter a lifeless, dead world, the Necromancers will be at a loss.

But the threshold for puppeteers to produce troops is much lower; they are really not picky about the materials for making puppets.

If there is soil, they make mud puppets; if there is wood, they make wooden puppets; if there are corpses, they can also guest-star as Necromancers and make a few flesh puppets.

Even if there is nothing, excellent puppeteers can also make puppets with some intangible things, such as fire puppets, wind puppets, etc.

In short, everything can be a puppet.

It's just that since Necromancy is a prominent study in the Witch World, the Necromancers who control the Witch World's medical industry have huge power, and their popularity and right to speak are very high.

And puppetry is relatively much more desolate; only a few individual families are still circulating it; it's really because the entry threshold for this thing is too high, and the requirements for the apprentice's spirit, inspiration, and precision attributes are extremely high...

Oh, and the thickness of the wallet; after all, if you have no money, what kind of puppets are you playing with? Is that something you can afford to play with? Don't you know the saying "a wall of puppeteers, a floating island in the capital circle"?

In short, such a niche discipline is destined to have few disciples, and few people naturally have no right to speak; what's more, puppetry is notoriously difficult to find employment in; after all, no matter how well you play with puppets, you can't create enough social value.

Who let puppets lose to undead creatures in working?

Compared with undead creatures that are cheap, durable, and can work all day without maintenance, puppets have high manufacturing costs and need frequent maintenance; there is really no cost-effectiveness to speak of; only some unspeakable places will demand exquisitely crafted puppets, but the Necromancy department has recently launched a series of artificial flesh-synthesized corpse maidens....

Ahem....

In short, the status of puppeteers is very awkward; not good enough to be at the top, but better than the bottom; it looks like everything is fine and beautiful, but in reality, nothing is considered refined; they can't compete with others at all, and it seems they have almost fallen into a technology for niche groups to appreciate themselves.

Only a very small number of puppeteers are unwilling to degenerate like this and are still trying to find a new way out for their beloved profession; for example, Dorothy's Spider teacher is like this; the combination of puppetry and architecture has opened up a brand new smart home market.

It's just that I heard that such creativity was learned by the old rival Necromancers in a turn; of course, they didn't do any corpse building; this is unlucky, no one buys it,

But the market space for the Necropolis is not bad; giving you a fully automated intelligent cemetery is your eternal destination.

Hmm, very dead.

Of course, in Dorothy's view, she feels that these puppeteers' paths are all crooked; why are they bored and lowering their status to compete with Necromancers in the low-end production industry? They should use the high precision of puppets to attack the high-end manufacturing industry...

What, the high-end manufacturing industry has already been booked by Alchemists, then it's fine.

Well, even a Home Witch has to admit that puppetry, this ancient craft, is becoming more and more of a toy nowadays; there is really no professional prospect to speak of.

But no matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, a cat that can catch mice is a good cat; puppetry was originally Dorothy's own personal hobby, and given her current situation of lacking troops, puppetry is the most suitable solution.

Over the past few months, the mechanical factory seemed to be producing various daily necessities, but in the innermost part of the production line, there was a small special production line; the Home Witch was secretly manufacturing her own mechanical puppet army inside.

Although the individual combat power of these mechanical puppets is not strong, at most it's the level of the Terminator that Dorothy saw in movies in her previous life; it's quite tricky for mortals, but it's hopeless to rely on them to deal with the church's transcendent army.

But the puppet sea combined with the Eight Formations Diagram military strategy, then one plus one is far greater than two; at least she has the qualifications to deal with the church army.

And these mechanical puppet armies had long been secretly buried by Dorothy in the surroundings, waiting for the church army to come to the door now.

Hehe, didn't expect it, right? It looks like you are surrounding me, but in fact, you are surrounded by me.

Amidst the shaking of the earth and mountains, several steel bases broke through the ground, and as the base doors opened, various mechanical puppet troop types swarmed out, which was truly overwhelming.

Initially, these mechanical puppets still maintained a human form, because they were mass-produced models, and Dorothy was too lazy to think about face molds, so she directly used the handsome face of her father, Adam; therefore, at first glance, this was a group phalanx composed of countless Adams dressed in priest robes.

It's just that this human form was only to maximize the storage space of the troop base, and when these mechanical priests left the warehouse, they quickly revealed their combat posture; I saw these mechanical priests rolling with various metal parts on their bodies like Transformers, and some were like Kabuda, doing a somersault, head down and feet up, and then a brand new head with a muzzle came out from the crotch.

Self-propelled artillery, swarm drones, armored tanks, land patrol vehicles, log carriers....

Various war weapons full of sci-fi style were now each in their own place, and countless long guns and short cannons had already aimed at the church army that was confused at this moment.

And Dorothy didn't give this group of church army a chance to recover; she had already said what she needed to say just now; now the cannons are coming, bomb them, and talk about the rest after bombing.

Thus, after the mechanical army was in place, countless cannon sounds began to rise and fall one after another.

"Eight Formations Diagram? How is this possible?"

And on the church army side, the Seraph, looking at the huge Taiji Bagua diagram above her head, widened her eyes directly.

She was too familiar with this thing; after all, she had just been abused by someone using this not long ago.

But it shouldn't be, there's no reason for this; her idol, that second-generation Military God Guiguzi Zhuge, was clearly the Grand Inquisitor of the Inquisition; how could a dignified Grand Inquisitor participate in this Witch's Night limited to the younger generation?

Could it be the idol's disciple?

Hmm, this is quite reasonable; it's normal for a big shot to have descendants or disciples, but weren't the witches' memories blocked? Why does the other party still remember this Eight Formations Diagram?

For a time, countless question marks popped up on Michael's forehead.

In short, she was very curious.

As for the encirclement of those mechanical armies, she actually didn't care much; after all, no one would really think that a group of stiff iron lumps could defeat angels.

Although she admitted that her idol's Eight Formations Diagram was indeed very powerful, but ah, no matter how powerful the military strategy is, it needs a sufficiently strong army to cooperate; leading troops to fight, the strength of the army is the foundation, and military strategy is just a supplement; and once the gap between the two armies is too large, then no military strategy is useful.

After all, no matter how good a group of ants' military strategy is, they can't bite an elephant to death; there's no way to break the defense, let alone the battle results.

Only....

She was quite careless here, but the leader Sophie Liya had already become serious and earnest; she issued military orders one by one in an orderly manner.

Thus, the church army, which was originally in a panic, immediately began to form a defensive formation steadily.

Very quickly, the first wave of bombing ended, and when the smoke in the sky dissipated, it revealed the church army that was almost unscathed.

At this, Michael was used to it; everything was as she expected; these mechanical puppets looked scary, but in the end, they were just toys for mortals.

She thought proudly in her heart; as a born Military God, she had the ability to see through the actual combat power of the two armies at a glance; no matter how grand the momentum of this mechanical army was, it couldn't deceive her eyes; she could see through these paper tigers at a glance.

Hmph, they are just toys with combat power less than 5.

The Seraph thought in her heart.

And then...

And then she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling a burst of angina.

What the hell?

Michael's expression changed drastically, but she quickly discovered the problem; holy light flashed around her body, isolating the smoke.

Damn it, these witches don't talk about martial virtue; that shelling was just a cover; the real killer move is this smoke; there is poison in this smoke.

One must know that she is an angel body; it looks like a human form, but in essence, it is a kind of faith creature similar to an elemental creature; the angel body is immune to most toxins, but she was actually poisoned just now?

But even she was poisoned, then the others....

Thinking of this, Michael panicked in her heart; she hurriedly looked around, but was stunned to find that the surrounding church army was unexpectedly intact; they had long ago isolated the smoke with holy light in advance.

And such a military order was obviously issued by Lady Sophie Liya.

Thinking of this, the Seraph hurriedly looked at the Pure White Angel in front of her, but also found that this leader was looking at her expressionlessly at this moment.

"I remember my military order should have been announced to everyone, Michael, why didn't you execute it?"

Sophie Liya looked at this Seraph with calm eyes and asked in a flat tone.

But it was this attitude that made Michael feel a little terrified; she lowered her head in regret and annoyance, not daring to say more.

She had indeed received Lady Sophie Liya's order just now; the order also said to defend with all her strength and not let anything, even smoke, get close to herself.

But the Seraph's arrogance made her ignore such a military order; she just felt that Lady Sophie Liya was making a mountain out of a molehill; where would a group of toys with combat power less than 5 need such high defense.

And now it seems....

She laughed at Lady Sophie Liya for making a mountain out of a molehill, and Lady Sophie Liya laughed at her for not understanding witches.

This....

The embarrassed Seraph was very angry at this moment; she was angry at her own loss of composure and hated her own arrogance, but she was also very fortunate; thanks to the fact that the person leading the troops this time wasn't her, but Sophie Liya, the Military God of Destiny Apocalypse, otherwise this sortie would have become a joke; after that wave of highly toxic poison just now, the church army might have been wiped out directly.

But is this Destiny Apocalypse? Players who have fought against this big shot all say that this big shot's team is impeccable and has no weaknesses, just like that magnificent heavenly power, making people unable to dodge and only able to fight hard, but you just can't beat her.

You use all kinds of tactics, but you will find that the other party seems to have seen through everything you have long ago; for any move you make, the other side always has a way to solve it.

So, this time the witches will poison, is this also in your expectation, Lady Sophie Liya?

"I will only warn you once, Michael; if you have another time, then you don't have to participate in this trial again."

The Pure White Angel's warning was also so flat, not showing any anger at all, but the domineering nature of her words that she meant what she said had already shocked the Seraph's heart.

"Thank you for your mercy, Lady Sophie Liya; there will not be another time."

Michael hurriedly lowered her head and said convincingly.

Damn it, is this the horror of the Military God game?

Clearly, she is also a famous high-level player in the Mana Web's strategic forum, but now she is only worthy of being cannon fodder; it is really too scary.

Forget it, a rookie like me really shouldn't think about showing off; let's follow the big shot first.

.... Seraph shivering....
