Once armed, our combat effectiveness will certainly far exceed that of the ordinary Mountain People.
Even the trained Mountain Huntsmen would hardly stand a chance against us in terms of sheer weaponry.”
Ian said this as he raised his hand, “What we need to think about is how to solve our disadvantage in manpower—forming a small squad to cut off their supplies is the first step, weakening the endurance of the Mountain People.”
“What’s even more important is that we must learn to rely on ‘heaven’ to fight.”
Everyone was taken aback, even Green Tide, who had heard Ian mention this term before, seemed puzzled: “Boss, what do you mean by heaven…
Ian simply explained: “In fact, weather can actually be controlled…
Have you ever heard of ‘artificial rainfall’?”
Adalbert was the most well-informed among the country folks present.
While Scott and Green Tide were still puzzled, he nodded thoughtfully, “But to control weather phenomena, to invoke changes in the Natural Spiritual Energy Field, to command nature in attack—aren’t those the powers of the Aether Armament and those at the Third Energy Level?”
“And furthermore, it can only be done by someone with a specific Inheritance!”
But it’s definitely not just that.”
Ian shook his head slightly; he believed that Terra certainly had the technology for artificial rainfall, but it’s likely that the technology from the previous epoch to artificially change weather had been weaponized, or had become part of transcendental Inheritances—in short, it was no longer related to ordinary people.
Just as the Imperial Capital itself is a giant weather regulator, no one thought of replicating a small-scale Imperial Capital dedicated solely to weather regulation to serve the public.
So much so that for someone like Adalbert, artificial rainfall had already been equated with Third Energy Level powerhouses and meteorological weapons.
Indeed, this was a direction Ian might pursue, but there were definitely more than one technological direction.
“Artificial rainfall is actually quite simple.”
Ian explained to the people present, “Depending on different weather conditions, you can achieve it by introducing different catalysts.
For instance, dry ice and silver iodide in cold weather, and salt powder or calcium chloride in hot weather…
In summary, it’s going to rain soon anyway, and we must ensure that it definitely rains around Leyan City on the day the Rebel Highlanders attack Leyan City.”
“And it’s not just rain, but a heavy downpour!”
Hearing this, even Green Tide, who was the least knowledgeable among them, understood.
He suddenly slapped his thigh, “I see!
Boss, you want to create a battlefield that’s advantageous to your Water Attribute Essence, like Viscount Grant did, and then blast those Mountain Transcendents?”
“But won’t that be difficult?
The boost in rain indeed exists for Water Series Sublimators, but it’s not that significant…”
Ian raised his hand, signaling Green Tide to stop talking.
He was determined to get the other man to read more books.
“Yes, water conducts electricity…
Green Tide hadn’t been in Leyan Territory for long, and he hadn’t seen the Magnetic Storm Coil or the Magnetic Storm Armor, but Scott fully understood now.
His eyes widened with excitement, “So, as long as it rains at the right time, more than a thousand enemies won’t be a problem at all!”
And it might not just be rain…
If the situation is perfect.”
Ian smiled, looking around at the audience already getting excited: “We might even bring down thunder!”
