Chapter 121

"We're on the battlefield; how could we not fight with everything we have?"

Weiwei rolled her eyes at him, then, as if to prove her point, lifted the corner of her clothes to reveal her flat abdomen.

There was a bloody hole, two or three centimeters in diameter, a gruesome mess of blood and flesh.

It corresponded exactly with the damaged area of her armor.

It seemed to have been mostly healed by the Water of Life, with only a little blood oozing out.

But Su Yi guessed that when she was first injured, the wound was probably deep enough to see her internal organs.

"What happened here?"

Weiwei put down the corner of her clothes and said casually:

"A city-breaking crossbow with magic armor-piercing arrows. It's a common way to deal with high-level martial artists like me in large-scale battles."

"Wouldn't getting hit by that nail you to the wall?"

"Pretty much. It hurt quite a bit." Weiwei shrugged, looking nonchalant, then pointed to the exoskeleton and asked:

"How do you use this thing?"

"Put this on, then stand in front of it, facing away, and press the button on it." Su Yi slipped a dark blue bracelet onto her wrist.

Weiwei examined the bracelet for a moment, then did as he said.

As soon as she pressed the activation button on the bracelet, the exoskeleton armor, which had been standing quietly, suddenly "came to life."

With a series of mechanical clicks and whirrs, the exoskeleton actively covered her body.

She was prepared for it and didn't panic much, but she felt quite amazed.

It wasn't until the armor completely enveloped her and the internal operating system appeared before her eyes that she was somewhat surprised:

"What amazing armor."

"You'll see something even more amazing in a moment. Granting pilot Level 2 authorization."

"Yes, sir!"

The cold electronic voice echoed inside the armor.

Then Weiwei heard:

"Pilot's physical condition is poor. There is a fatal wound in the abdomen, which may lead to shock within half an hour. Life-sustaining fluid is being injected. The life-sustaining fluid can stimulate nerve contraction at the wound to stop bleeding and keep you awake. Please quickly find the nearest battlefield medical pod for self-rescue."

A faint tingling sensation came from her wrist, and then Weiwei felt a stream of cold liquid being injected into her veins.

The effect... was basically non-existent.

But it didn't stop her from knowing what the armor was doing.

She couldn't help but marvel:

"Just a suit of armor, and it can heal?"

The so-called life-sustaining fluid was far less effective than the Water of Life, and it was useless to her because she was too strong.

But it would definitely be useful to ordinary soldiers.

"More than that, try throwing a punch."

Hearing this, Weiwei immediately raised her hand in front of her and clenched her fist, looking at the armor covering her palm, she clicked her tongue in wonder, then gently threw a punch.

Immediately, she felt something was wrong.

"This thing can also enhance strength?"

"It's a kind of power-assisted device achieved through technical means. It can indeed give people greater strength, faster speed, and stronger impact resistance." Su Yi replied calmly, watching the surprise on her face.

How about that, pretty awesome, right?

Weiwei clenched her fist, then suddenly threw a punch at the air in front of her.

The sound of the fist tearing through the air echoed in the trading space.

And along with this, there was also the exoskeleton's warning:

"Warning! Warning! Right arm transmission system malfunction!"

"Warning! Warning! Waist transmission system malfunction!"

"Warning! Warning! Back engine overload!"

"Warning! Warning! Power output overload!"

"..."

Looking at the exoskeleton sparking and sputtering, Su Yi's eyebrows twitched.

If Weiwei were standing outside, then destroying the exoskeleton with one punch wouldn't be a big deal.

But she was inside!

One punch directly overloaded and destroyed the exoskeleton. Did that make sense?

"Not bad!" Ignoring the bewildered Su Yi, Weiwei took a few steps, wearing the exoskeleton, which weighed dozens of kilograms and had completely lost power.

Then, she violently stuck her fingers into the armor, forcibly tore the thing off her body, and assessed the pile of scrap metal:

"The defense, strength, and speed are about the same as a third-order martial artist. If you use the firearms you gave me before, the combat power should be even stronger than a third-order martial artist. And with ranged attacks, soldiers wearing this thing shouldn't be as afraid of mages as normal martial artists."

"The occasional talking inside can also help the soldiers wearing it improve their combat power."

"But there are also drawbacks. What's not yours is not yours after all. The armor doesn't cover everything, and there are many weaknesses. If a real third-order martial artist gets close, it's easy to find the weak points. A proper martial artist can still fight when injured, but if this thing is damaged, it probably won't move. Weighing dozens of kilograms on a soldier's body, it would become a burden."

This was her evaluation of the exoskeleton from the perspective of the magical world.

She didn't seem to realize that the real advantage of this thing was not to fight hand-to-hand or to shoot mages with guns.

Hearing this, Su Yi couldn't help but ask curiously:

"How do you usually fight wars in your world? I'm not talking about sieges, but when the two armies are about the same strength."

In cold weapon warfare, sieges are not fancy. They just fill it with human lives. If the siege side has enough logistics, the safest way is to exhaust the people in the city.

Those fire attacks and water attacks in entertainment works can't be said to be completely useless, but the scenarios where these operations can be used are almost non-existent.

Of course, this is not of much reference value.

"How else can you fight? Of course, you find a suitable battlefield, set up your formation, and fight directly." Weiwei said matter-of-factly, not feeling that there was anything wrong with this.

"No tactics or anything?"

"Tactics? Do you mean choosing a battlefield that is favorable to your side?"

Is that considered a tactic?

No, your world has been developing cold weapons for hundreds of thousands of years, but you haven't developed any tactics at all, and you just rely on head-on collisions?

Su Yi thought about it and still felt that it was unlikely, so he asked carefully:

"For example, the kind of tactic where you take advantage of the enemy's carelessness and sneak people into the warehouse where they store their supplies and set fire to all the food in the enemy's army, do you have that?"

Hearing this, Weiwei looked at him with a surprised expression, and said with great disgust:

"That's too despicable, it doesn't conform to the knightly spirit."

"That's despicable?" Su Yi immediately became unhappy, and immediately gave another example:

"Not only can you burn supplies, but you can also pretend to have internal strife with your subordinates, and then let your subordinates go to the opposite side to surrender, let the opposite side enter the city, and then close the city gate, close the door and beat the dog, this is called feigned surrender!"

"Your wars are too rough. No wonder the other side has several times your military strength, and it takes several years to attack a city. It turns out you're so weak!"

"I'll be your military advisor. Those local chickens and pottery dogs outside your Mengchuan City, watch me use a little trick to make them return in defeat!"

"Listen, first you have to understand a concept."

"Warfare is deception!"
