"Abel, these eight continuous-fire city crossbows can usually scare away the enemies who dare to come, but if the enemies are not scared away, then the windows on both sides can be opened to fully display the sky boat. The powerful combat power!" Bernie introduced.
You must know that the original design of the sky boat consisted of four city crossbows at the front and rear. It was he who proposed the modification and modified the continuous powerful city crossbows to the sky boat, and also installed two more Ten consecutive powerful city crossbows.
Entering the command room, half of the space was arranged into a luxurious room for rest and command, while the other half was closed by an iron door with a master recognition circle.
Bernie walked to the iron gate, took out an identity card, placed it on the identification circle, and the iron gate opened.
He made a hand gesture, and Abel walked into the room.
As soon as he entered the room, Abel saw that the metallurgical materials he had refined had been made into a magic circle disk and placed in the middle of the room. A shining white cylinder was placed in the center of the magic circle.
That is the most common spirit, but don’t think that it is not valuable because it is ordinary. In fact, except for the right to purchase a spirit once as a tower spirit after becoming an official wizard, most people will not be able to come into contact with spirits in their lifetime.
"This spirit has been arranged to learn how to control the sky boat before the sky boat is built. Now there are two ways to control the sky boat. One is to directly command the spirit to control the sky boat, and the other is to directly command the spirit to control the sky boat. It means that the operator can control the sky boat autonomously through a long period of study!" Bernie said to Abel while holding the identity card.
Then he worked on the identity card and handed the identity card into Abel's hand.
"The spirit of Sky Boat No. 01 asks to recognize its master!" The spirit in front of him controlled the sound array in the room and made a sound.
Bernie made a gesture of invitation to Abel, and Abel nodded and picked up the identity card, and then said: "Confirm your identity!"
"The recognition of the master is successful!
Master, Sky Boat No. 01 is always waiting for your orders! "
"I'm really reluctant to leave this sky boat in your hands!" Bernie said with a look of reluctance on his face.
"Bernie, don't you still have seven boats over there? Then you can build one and use it as a special sky boat for traveling!" Abel said with a smile.
"It's impossible, but this time it's enough to satisfy the captain's addiction. This thing is too expensive to keep!" Bernie shook his head and said.
Abel also saw on one side of the room, where there were numerous energy slots. Each slot contained an intermediate magic stone, a total of five hundred intermediate magic stones.
"How long can these five hundred intermediate magic stones be used?" Abel asked.
"The energy can still be used for five consecutive days of sailing!" Before Bernie could answer, Sky Boat Spirit 01 had already answered his question.
"The consumption of one hundred intermediate magic stones a day is not expensive!" Abel was very satisfied with this consumption, probably because it used the principle of airbag lift-off, which reduced the consumption of flying.
Bernie looked at Abel speechlessly. One hundred intermediate magic stones a day seemed not expensive, but over time, it was a huge expense.
One hundred intermediate magic stones are enough for twenty wizards to pay tribute, and this is only the cost of a day's sailing of the sky boat.
But considering Abel's status as a master blacksmith and a master alchemist, no matter which of these two identities his works can be sold for a sky-high price, this magic stone is really nothing.
But he never expected what Abel was thinking at this time. Abel was thinking of replacing all 500 intermediate magic stones with top-level magic stones. Then he would not need to consider the energy of the sky boat for at least a few decades. Problem.
On the other side of this room is a cabinet. There are several pipes on the top of the cabinet that extend straight out of the room and lead to the air bag.
The control array extracts energy from the energy tank, and then transfers it to the cabinet on the other side, where the thermal energy array and cold energy array convert the energy into hot air and cold air to control the ascent and descent of the sky boat.
There are also some magic circles engraved on the periphery of the sky boat. Among these magic circles, there are defensive ones and repulsive ones. The defensive magic circle protects the sky boat, and the repulsion magic circle micro-controls the movement of the sky boat.
The material of the air bag is also very special. It is the silk of a rare native silkworm. Once the air bag made of this silk has a hole, the hole can be repaired as long as energy is provided to it.
This series of measures has made the skyship a safe and reliable aircraft. Coupled with the improvements made by the dwarves, it has become more mature and adaptable to the current situation.
"Abel, please arrange for people to get on the boat. These dwarves in my family can stay here for three days and help you train a group of operators!" After Bernie took Abel to visit, he brought the other two sky boat operators Said after control was transferred to Abel.
Abel first thought of the veterans in the Harry family who had previously followed Earl Marshall. These veterans were only at the level of formal warriors, but their loyalty was no problem. They could control Sky Boat 2.
There are dozens of veterans of the Bennett family who follow Earl Bennett and can control Sky Boat 3.
There is also a group of dead soldiers who followed him in Abel Castle. They can control Sky Boat No. 1, and add dozens of skilled crossbow operators to each boat, so that there are three Sky Boats. The most reliable personnel control.
Three days later, due to the spirits on each sky boat, it is not difficult to drive the sky boat. However, if you really want to master the manual driving of the sky boat, it will take too much time. You can only wait for the training slowly in the future. .
After Bernie took his fellow dwarves away through the teleportation circle, Abel came to the sky boat again.
First, he entered the inner room of the command room, where only he could enter, not even the captain he appointed, because he had replaced all the intermediate magic stones there with top-level magic stones.
There are five hundred top-level magic stones in each sky boat. This number is enough to make anyone crazy, so the inner room of the command room will be closed.
And Abel did far more than that. He placed ten lightning spirals on the hull of the sky boat, and all the energy was replaced by top-level magic stones. In addition to recognizing him as the master, he also handed over the control authority. Each sky boat is controlled by its spirit.
Come to think of it, each sky boat has ten lightning spirals and twenty-eight continuous powerful city crossbows. It has both physical attacks and elemental attacks, and they are all extremely powerful.
Only after replacing it with new energy and strengthening its attack capabilities did the sky boat meet Abel's psychological expectations.
In the following days, three sky boats began crazy training above Harvest City, and the Griffin Knights also participated.
Sometimes the gryphon knights serve as imaginary enemies to train the skyship to respond to the enemy, and sometimes the gryphon knights will work with the skyship to train how to fight together.
Because the sky boat is a new war machine, everything needs to be re-researched. These have nothing to do with Abel. The captain and crew of the sky boat train independently to find the best way to fight.
…
In an inconspicuous small town near the Wizarding Guild of the Principality of Keen, representatives of the kings from the other five principalities of the Kingdom of St. Ellis, in addition to the Principality of Camai and the dying Principality of Keen, gathered in this small town.
"Everyone, everyone should be clear about the reason why we are here today. Our principality has reached its most critical moment. Our people are starving. This winter, the last strategic reserves of our principality of Taikos have been exhausted. Our principality of Taikos has A war is needed to relieve the pressure on domestic food!" Grand Knight Commander Job, the representative of the Principality of Tekos, stood up and said loudly.
The Principality of Techos was the initiator of this meeting. At the last moment when it attacked the Principality of Keen and prepared to receive the war dividends, the 20,000 knights led by the great prince Alec took away most of the spoils. The last bit of oil and water in the Principality of En was squeezed out.
Since then, the Principality of Taikos has deployed all situation systems and continuously bought intelligence from outside. The fact that the eldest prince Alec visited the Principality of Camai before going to war was easily found out.
The Principality of Kamai provided a batch of food to the Kingdom of St. Ellis, which made the war launched by the four principalities become someone else's wedding dress. This had to make the four principalities, especially the Principality of Taikos who was the first to start the war, angry.
But they also know how terrifying Grandmaster Abel of the Kamai Principality is. According to legend, he can almost fight with gods, but it is this legend that makes the five principalities not believe it.
Besides, personal bravery has a limited effect on large-scale wars. In history, many strong men were killed by the Knight Legion on the battlefield.
What they are most worried about is Abel's foreign aid, the friendship of the dwarves and the friendly city Elf Anyost. If the war is prolonged, these two foreign aids are likely to send troops to help.
Therefore, the four principalities prepared to fight together, and in order to strengthen their strength, they roped in the Thunder Principality. Since the Thunder Principality ceded Neijin City to the Kamai Principality, the country has been extremely unstable.
Especially after the food shortage occurred, Neijin City, which was ceded to the Kamai Principality, received food support from the Kamai Principality. The food supply in the city was enough to meet the needs of the people of Neijin City.
This caused a voice among the Thunder Principality to join the Kamai Principality, especially among the lower-class people.
You must know that no matter how short the food is, the nobles will never lack food, and their food is very abundant.
The only people who lacked food were civilians, who accounted for the vast majority of the population and were the main ones who suffered from hunger every day. Therefore, civilians began to have various ideas, which soon spread to more cities and more civilians.
The Principality of Thunder does not dare to cause trouble to the Principality of Kamai, at least let them find trouble to the Principality of Kamai alone, they are incapable of doing so.
Now the invitations from the four principalities have given the Thunder Principality hope. With the combined efforts of the five principalities, although its strength is not as strong as an empire, it is far more than ten times stronger than the Kamai Principality.
The strength of the Kamai Principality is very clear to all the principalities. Even if Abel becomes the king, it will be difficult to change this fact in a short period of time.
"The same is true for our Principality of Larvi. We need a victory with sufficient war dividends to stabilize the principality. We need a lot of food!" Commander Armand, the Grand Knight of the Principality of Larvi, also stood up and expressed his stance.
"The Principality of Raqqa also agrees to the war. If we join forces, which principality will be our opponent!" The last war made the Grand Knight Commander Gershwin of the Principality of Raqqa full of confidence.
"We, the Principality of Koror, will follow your actions, and we will shoulder our due responsibilities as an alliance!" Grand Knight Captain Dobson of the Principality of Koror said in a deep voice.
"You have all thought of dealing with the Kamai Principality, but do you know Abel's strength?" Grand Knight Ewell of the Thunder Principality said hesitantly.
As the Grand Knight Commander of the Thunder Principality that had just had a conflict with the Kamai Principality, Grand Knight Commander Ewell had met Abel, as well as Senior Wizard Dunn and Lorenzo, who had a close friendship with Abel. .
"Abel's strength is based on our intelligence analysis. He should be a junior wizard with the combat skills of a great knight. He has a huge contract made of steel, or a puppet. I don't believe him. People can influence the war!" Grand Knight Commander Job said in a deep voice.
As the commander of a powerful knight legion, he believes more in the power of the knight legion. The consequence of one or several high knights fighting against the knight legion is death in battle, while the combat power of junior wizards cannot be achieved unless they become successful in large wars. The emergence of the establishment will also lead to death.
Changing the war through a contract object has never happened in the entire history of the Holy Continent.
"Information returned from the Orc war said that Abel was alone behind the Orc army, disrupting the entire Orc army, and finally allowed humans to win!" Lord Knight Ewell reminded.
"Who saw it? Our intelligence system in the Principality of Taikos specifically interviewed many knights who participated in that battle. No knight has ever seen that scene. He only met Abel after the human knights attacked. Who knows? What happened at that time!" Grand Knight Commander Job didn't believe that, or he didn't want to believe it at all.
You can't wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep!
At this time, the representatives of the four principalities were like this. They did not believe that one person's combat power could change the situation of the war, and that person's actual combat power was too low.
Of course, in fact, they don't even want to attack the Principality of Kamai. It would be too risky, and the powerful Abel might become their nightmare.
But some intelligence made these principalities too jealous, and their jealousy allowed them to take huge risks.
"Grand Knight Commander Ewell, this is the information that our Principality of Koror Intelligence Office obtained at great cost!" Grand Knight Commander Dobson said as he pushed a piece of information to Grand Knight Commander Ewell.
The Principality of Koror is in the north of the Principality of Kamai, and the two countries border on each other. For countless years, the intelligence agency of the Principality of Koror has penetrated into many places in the Principality of Kamai. However, since Abel became the king, the investment in the intelligence organization has increased. , causing heavy losses to the intelligence organizations of other countries in the Principality of Kamai.
Especially in the Harvest City area, due to the departure of the nobles, almost any new face there will be discovered by the local people.
After sacrificing a large number of intelligence personnel, the Koror Principality Intelligence Office finally obtained accurate information, that is, Harvest City seemed to be using a medicine to help the growth of crops.
And dozens of huge granaries appeared in Harvest City, all of which were full of food.
It was this information that became the last straw to impress the four principalities. Food has become the most important resource now, and it is approaching the point of exhaustion. Perhaps without food replenishment, the principalities will cease to exist.
If the food shortage problem continues, then it is very likely that the Knight Legion will not have enough food if they want to attack, and they can only sit and wait for death.
Several crop reductions thousands of years ago caused the death of countless people. This time, how many people are prepared to die in each principality to overcome the difficulties, and this is without external force.
Once the food shortage reached a certain level, there were cases in history where the empire used powerful force to forcibly plunder the principality's food, and there were also cases where other powerful principalities participated in the plunder.
Maybe if they don't take action, it will be like the current Principality of Keen, and the Principality will become history.
Therefore, the four principalities no longer care about Abel's strength, nor about Abel's possible revenge afterwards, nor about the actions taken by the dwarves and elves afterwards.
The only thing they care about now is food, and the huge food warehouse in Harvest City is their goal.
Grand Knight Captain Ewell looked at the information in his hand. He had already seen that, except for the Thunder Principality, these four principalities had already made up their minds. They probably just wanted to increase their winning rate, so they brought the Thunder Principality with them.
Whether he agrees or not, this war is inevitable, and once the four principalities are defeated, their Thunder Principality will be the next target.
The representatives of the four principalities looked at Lord Knight Ewell, waiting for his decision. The reason why they brought the Thunder Principality with them was to prevent the Kingdom of St. Ellis from snatching the fruits of victory after defeating the Principality of Camai.
The five principalities united can at least fight against the knight corps sent by the Kingdom of St. Alice. According to the estimates of the four principalities, the Kingdom of St. Alice will never fight them at this moment, because no matter whether they win or lose, they will If the combat power of the Kingdom of St. Ellis is greatly damaged, the other two empires will engulf the Kingdom of St. Ellis.
The reason why there was no resistance in the first operation of the Kingdom of Saint-Alice was due to the suddenness of their attack, which threatened the four principalities without unity.
But this time is different. Several principalities will form all the knights into a knight corps. At that time, the concentrated combat power will make the knight corps of the Kingdom of St. Ellis knock out a mouthful of teeth if they want to attack them.
"How to deal with the wizards of Kamai Principality?" Lord Knight Ewell asked in a deep voice.
His question made the representatives of the four principalities heave a sigh of relief, which showed that Lord Knight Ewell was relieved.
Before coming here, the king had given Grand Knight Captain Ewell sufficient power and also given him the power to launch a war. As long as it was beneficial to the principality, he would participate in the war.
"All our wizards from the principality are participating in the war. This is a battle for national destiny. If we win, we will be able to continue the principality. If we fail..." Grand Knight Commander Job did not continue.
All the representatives present understood what was not said below. If they failed, they would be charged with attacking the territory of the blacksmith master. The dwarves would impose sanctions on them, and Abel would also give them an unprecedented blow.
Think about the disappearing wizarding circle outside the Principality of Keen. Once this happens in their principality, how terrible it will be.
"We can't afford failure, so once the war starts, all the intermediate wizards will directly 'teleport' to kill Abel. As long as Abel dies, then there will be nothing to fear in the Principality of Camai!" Grand Knight Commander Armand continued. said.
"Then can we lure Abel out, let's arrange a trap to kill him, and then attack?" Knight Commander Ewell felt a little frightened whenever he thought of Abel. A knight like him would be in trouble in front of Abel. He was as helpless as a child, so he made another suggestion.
"Don't think about it, it's impossible. Do you know how long it has been since Abel showed up in public?" Knight Commander Job looked up at Knight Commander Ewell, and then continued: "For two whole years, it has been It has not appeared in public, how long do we have to wait, another year, two years?”
Lord Knight Ewell stopped talking. He still can't forget the look in Abel's eyes that regarded him as nothing. He always felt that this attack was a nightmare, but if he didn't participate in it, in the end, even the Principality of Thunder would probably be destroyed. The destruction of a principality is like the destruction of the Principality of Keen.
Grand Knight Commander Job could not understand why Grand Knight Commander Ewell was so afraid of the Principality of Kamai, and kept putting forward various opinions, but he just did not want to encounter Abel.
"Finally, let me tell you some news that will reassure you. According to the information I have received, all senior wizards cannot participate in the secular world. At least during this disaster period of reduced crop yields, senior wizards will be in seclusion!" Grand Knight Commander Job Then he said.
Next, they discussed how to act in unison and how to avoid detection by the Kamai Principality's intelligence system.
The mobilization of the entire five principalities is not that easy. Although it is said to be a unified action, the distance between each principality is different, so the time for sending troops will also be different.
In the end, they chose to start from the Thunder Principality and attack Neijin City first. From Neijin City, they only needed to attack two small towns with weak defenses to reach Harvest City. This was already the fastest route.
The Principality of Thunder is too familiar with Neijin City. This city has been controlled by them and has just been transferred to the Principality of Kamai. There are also a large number of intelligence personnel from the Principality of Thunder in it. If we attack from there, it will be easy to break the city. thing.
…
Just when the five principalities united, their actions did not escape the detection of the intelligence system of the Kingdom of St. Alice. When the farthest principality of Tekos dispatched three thousand knights, the eldest prince Alec had already The most accurate information was received.
Because when it came time to dispatch the Knight Legion, the secret of this operation could no longer be kept secret no matter how secret it was, so the three thousand Knight Legion moved very fast, and then the Principality of Larvi also dispatched three thousand Knight Legion.
In the Principality of Keen, the two knight legions merged into one and became a six thousand knight legion. Moving forward, the six thousand knight legions of the Principality of Raqqa and the Principality of Koror had also joined them.
The knight army composed of twelve thousand knights has shown its terrifying momentum, and when it entered the Thunder Principality, this knight army had become a knight army composed of fourteen thousand knights.
Among them, there are as many as fifteen grand knight captains, five intermediate wizards, and fifteen junior wizards. This kind of combat power is already very powerful.
Just when the Principality of Tekos had just launched its troops, the eldest prince Alec had already found His Majesty Emperor Ambrose of the Kingdom of St. Ellis and reported to him the information he had.
"Father, the Principality of Tekos, Principality of Larvi, Principality of Rakka, Principality of Koror and Principality of Thunder will form a joint army to attack the Principality of Kamai. Should we immediately send envoys to persuade these five principalities?" The eldest prince Alex Ke bowed and said.
"Why do we need to persuade? Besides, what's the use of our persuasion? It's not like we have never used this method before. If diplomatic rhetoric is useful, we wouldn't have to send so many knights last time!" His Majesty Ambrose said lightly.
"Then we sent the Knight Legion to stop it. Abel helped us no matter what!" the eldest prince Alec continued.
"Alec, you will become the emperor in the future. Don't blind yourself with feelings. The empire is very weak now. The Principality of Camai has food. It is this that attracts the five principalities. We cannot send troops again. This time The five principalities united, didn’t they think of the possibility of our participation?” His Majesty Ambrose said with a cold snort.
"Then we have to inform the Principality of Camai and Abel first so that they can prepare in advance!" the eldest prince Alec suggested again.
"Stupid, if we notify the Principality of Camai now, it means that we know about this matter. Then once the intelligence systems of the five principalities know about it, how can we send troops to seize the spoils during their war!" His Majesty Ambrose stood up shouted.
The eldest prince Alec looked at His Majesty Ambrose. Only then did he realize that His Majesty Emperor Ambrose was not not refusing to send troops, but was preparing that once the Principality of Kamai was defeated, the five principalities would also suffer losses after the battle.
Based on his understanding of Abel, the losses of the five principalities must have been very great, and once the knights of the Kingdom of St. Ellis appeared at that time, the spoils would be in their pockets.
In this way, Abel would not be offended, but he could also have an excuse to avenge Abel, and the food robbed by the five principalities would become theirs.
"Father, if the Kamai Principality wins, what should we do?" The eldest prince Alec still felt something was wrong and asked.
"Needless to say, of course we are going to help the Principality of Kamai to hunt down the invading enemies. Haven't we always had friendly relations with the Principality of Kamai?" His Majesty Emperor Ambrose said naturally.
The eldest prince Alec felt a chill in his body. He had a feeling that after this time, the relationship between the Kingdom of St. Ellis and the Principality of Camai would never return to its previous state.
Wouldn't it be wrong to not help the Principality of Kamai, which we have friendly relations with, for some unknown benefit
But it was useless no matter how much he thought about it, because he was not the emperor, and it was His Majesty Emperor Ambrose who made the decision.
At the junction of Thunder Principality and Neijin City, a huge army of knights was marching. Behind them was a wizard on a carriage, and behind them was a long logistics convoy.
The knights traveled a long distance this time, especially the Principality of Tekos and Larvi. They were separated from the Principality of Kamai by the Principality of Keen, the Principality of Laca and the Principality of Koror. Therefore, when they came to the Principality of Thunder, they had to take them with them. With a logistics fleet.
And because there are wizards participating in the war, the logistics convoy must bring more supplies, and even the bathtubs for bathing are brought with the vehicle. The wizards enshrined by the principality are not the wizards who participate in the Miracle City all year round. Almost all of these wizards are like nobles. life in general.
The five knight legions merge into one, and there can only be one final commander. Without unified command, in battle, it is impossible to exert the powerful impact that the knight legion should have.
The final result of the negotiations between the five principalities was that the Grand Knight Commander Job of the Principality of Techos had rich combat experience and almost no defeats, making him the commander of this knight army composed of 14,000 knights.
"Knights, I know that your relatives are starving. Today we are here to form an extremely powerful knight army in order to obtain food. Our goal is Harvest City, where there is countless food, enough for us. My relatives will eat food for several years. I guarantee that the knights participating in the battle will be the first to get the right to distribute this batch of food. Go forward, we are fighting for the principality and our relatives!" Grand Knight Commander Job pulled out the food from his waist! The knight wielded his sword and said loudly.
"Fight for the principality, fight for your loved ones!" the knights shouted, and the entire knight army began to enter the territory of Neijin City and officially entered the scope of the Kamai Principality.
