Struggle in the Steam Age

Although it was said to be a rest, Lawrence did not idle, but stayed with Nora in the temporary first aid station near the city wall to help. But just after he and Nora had treated the wound of a wounded person, a golden firework rose in the distant sky.

This firework seemed to be a signal. After the firework exploded, one firework after another rose in every corner of the city. Not long after the fireworks were set off, Lawrence heard the sound of shooting outside gradually subside, and then a team of judges opened the gate and rushed out.

"I think this rebellion will end soon." Nora sighed softly as she watched the team of judges rushing out. "I hope that too many innocent people in the city will not be harmed because of this incident, although it seems that my hope may come to nothing now."

More than ten minutes later, the rebels who were squeezed step by step to the palace square, the eye of the storm of the rebellion, and the encirclement and suppression forces gathered from all over the city broke out the fiercest battle in the rebellion, even if it was hundreds of meters away from the city wall Lawrence on the ground can also feel the powerful force gathered on that battlefield.

Of course, Lawrence would not give up this good opportunity to observe the world's top extraordinary power. After the battle broke out in the square, Nora took advantage of the dark night and the cover of the building to fly to a seemingly safer place more than 200 meters away from the battlefield and lurked to observe the situation on the battlefield.

"Is this the high-level extraordinary power in this world?" Although Lawrence had seen the power of the gods represented by the God of Knowledge before, the power of the gods far exceeded Lawrence's perception because of the huge difference in strength between the two sides. upper limit. So that contact made him have no specific gains at all other than feeling that the gods are indeed powerful.

But now this kind of battle with the highest legendary-level transcendents allows him to see more things. After all, for transcendents, from apprentice to legend is actually mainly a simple increase in strength level, not It involves higher levels of power and even the recognition and manipulation of rules.

The battles of these high-level transcendents showed their powerful nature. Unlike low-level transcendental beings like Lawrence, high-level transcendental beings manipulate powerful energy in battle that is enough to change the entire battle situation.

But it doesn't mean that high-level superhumans can do everything in war. This is especially true when the high-level transcendents on both sides are evenly matched. In such a situation where the high-level transcendents on both sides will give up the initiative whoever gets off first, the outcome of the battlefield is mostly determined by the battle between the army composed of ordinary people and the low-level transcendents.

Not to mention that all churches are very opposed to the massacre of the weak by the strong, because this kind of behavior will cause serious damage to the believers in the power of the gods. Therefore, apart from external battles, civil wars between intelligent races rarely involve the massacres of high-level transcendental beings.

Through the observation of the three legendary battles in the sky above the square, Lawrence discovered many differences from the fighting methods of advanced superhumans left in his impression after reading a lot of novels and movies in his previous life.

Leaving aside the ones that are obviously impossible to appear on the battlefield, the method of calling out the name of the move before making the move makes the opponent's mind flooded. Just talking about the battle of the high-level transcendent, Lawrence and the others did not see the powerful sound and light effects shown in the anime.

Even compared with the low-level transcendents, the battle between them seemed more restrained. Even Enora's eyes could only see the flashes caused by the powerful energy that erupted when the forces of the two sides collided.

"That is to say, the higher the level of transcendent is, the more accurate the control of their own power is, and they can use more power in battle while mastering the same upper limit of energy." Nora looked not far away During the battle, he communicated his discoveries with Lawrence through the spiritual connection.

"You're right, and besides this." Lawrence carefully watched the battle of the only legendary mage on the field and felt that he had gained a lot. This kind of actual combat observation is far more important than simply reading it in a book. It touches people's hearts, and you can learn a lot of things that you can't find in books.

For example, in the process of this mage's battle, he often chooses the instant burst of magic as the starting magic for temptation and assault. But other than the first spell, the mage was better at using spells like scorching rays that could be continuously output to destroy the opponent's magic defense.

At the same time, this kind of magic that can be continuously output can create a lot of secondary collateral damage. For example, the continuous burning caused by fire magic can increase the heat around the enemy and quickly consume oxygen. The low temperature caused by frost-related magic can affect the blood flow of the enemy, making the enemy's movement slow.

Compared with low-level transcendents like Lawrence, the biggest difference between high-level transcendentals and them is that they can maintain their magical defense for a long time. Unlike low-level spellcasters like Lawrence, they can only temporarily protect themselves when they find something is wrong. Cast defensive magic to add magic defense ability to yourself. It's not like warriors can only rely on their own bodies and magic items for defense.

Therefore, breaking the enemy's defensive magic is a very important part in the battle of high-level extraordinary people, and now the battle of this legendary mage will discuss how high-level extraordinary people should fight and how spellcasters should deal with such high-level extraordinary people. When fighting, the characteristics of the battle are vividly displayed.

The only thing that made Lawrence feel a little regretful was that the battle didn't last too long, and it ended after only ten minutes. The high-ranking Transcendents on the rebel side chose to surrender directly after realizing that they could not win. After all, as long as no serious crimes are committed in this kind of civil war that belongs to human beings, these high-level extraordinary people can atone for their sins through other methods, and there will be no serious consequences.

"It seems that this rebellion is finally over." After the battle of the high-ranking transcendents ended, those rebels who were holding their last breath before completely lost their fighting spirit. After Prince Eugene mobilized all the reinforcements around him to launch a general attack, a large number of rebels directly chose to raise their hands and surrender.

Only a small number of rebels fought and retreated, and finally concentrated in the small castle-like Duke Singidunum to resist. But after Prince Eugene mobilized the Imperial Guard artillery outside the city who refused to participate in the rebellion to directly bombard the Duke's Palace with heavy artillery, the last resistance of the rebels disappeared.

After making sure that the rebellion, which lasted only half the night, was completely over, the team sent before also returned. The referee also stopped the previous state of alert and returned to normal. Lawrence also returned to his room with Nora at this time.

"I always feel that this war is a bit weird to me, it just ended?" After returning to his room, Lawrence said to Nora who was sitting on the windowsill. "It always feels like there's something wrong."

"You don't think you are the main character?" Nora said with her mouth slightly raised, "If you are a normal time traveler protagonist, in this rebellion you should kill those few we just saw A high-level extraordinary person. Then kill the rebellious second prince at the critical moment."

"No, I didn't mean that." Lawrence repeatedly denied that it's not a good thing to be seen as a pushy person by a young girl, even if the girl is just a doll.

But asking himself, Lawrence found that he did have the urge to show off. After all, he came to this world from another world, so he subconsciously thought that he should be the protagonist.
