Chief of Staff Duranke, who was filled with doubts, was recalled by the military headquarters to the city of Norderon, the capital of the Kingdom of Sark, after the Turtle Legion withdrew to the territory of the Kingdom of Sark.
Although the Turtle Legion suffered a defeat and had to retreat in full, the military headquarters of the Kingdom of Sark did not make any accusations or punishments against the Turtle Legion.
The first reason is that the place where the Spirit Turtle Legion built defense fortifications was originally in the territory assigned to the Moon Shadow Tribe by the Kingdom of Sark, and its mission was to blockade the Moon Shadow Tribe, so it could not be occupied theoretically. foot.
This time, the elves of the Moon Shadow Tribe joined forces with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort team to fight back and drove them out. At least in the name of justice, there was no problem. The Kingdom of Sark couldn't blame it on this point, and naturally it couldn't. It is too easy to punish the Turtle Legion for this.
The second reason, and the most fundamental reason, is that the Sark Kingdom's military hoped to use the Turtle Legion to block the elves of the Moon Shadow Tribe, but it did not expect that the Turtle Legion could withstand the attack of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escorts. Live.
Among the countries in the southwest corner of Sainz's continent, there has been a consensus on the combat effectiveness of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escorts, that is, there is no way to confront them head-on.
Therefore, the Spirit Turtle Legion's failure under the attack of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's escorts is not something that needs to be punished, because this is beyond their capabilities.
The reason why the Sac Kingdom's military headquarters summoned Chief of Staff Duranke this time was mainly to obtain first-hand information about the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's escort team from Chief of Staff Durank.
So after Chief of Staff Duran returned to Norderon City, in addition to reporting his work to the military headquarters, he spent more time. They all go to the Military Magic Machinery Research and Development Center jointly run by the Military Ministry and the Kingdom Magic Research Institute. Provide your own frontline information to cooperate with the work of the R&D center.
Today is the fifth day since Chief of Staff Duran returned to Norderon City. He got up early in the morning, and after breakfast, he took a carriage as usual and arrived at the Military Magic Machinery Research and Development Center located thirty kilometers northwest of Noordanlon City.
This R&D center occupies a huge piece of land including five valleys, and is surrounded by walls and is extremely tightly defended.
Even if Chief of Staff Duran comes, he still has to go through many levels of checkpoints before he is allowed to enter.
But when you actually get inside, you will find that it seems like a whole other world.
Countless magical machines of various shapes and strange shapes are running back and forth in this research and development center base, making it dizzying.
These magic machines are all magicians from the Magic Research Institute who assist in the research of military magic machines. Based on the inspiration provided by the various magic machines of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, we develop and design things by ourselves.
The most eye-catching one is a fake magic motorcycle with four wheels, running back and forth on the road of the base at an extremely fast speed.
Judging from the appearance, this fake magic motorcycle is not much different from the magic motorcycle of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which made Chief of Staff Duran almost admit his mistake when he arrived on the first day.
But after coming for a few days, he already knew very well that although this imitation magic motorcycle looked capable of running, it could only support four wheels. It can't carry anything at all, it's just a showpiece.
And not only the core magic engine in this imitation magic motorcycle was removed from the magic motorcycle purchased by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Even the four most basic tires were purchased from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
To put it simply, almost all the parts on this imitation magic motorcycle were purchased from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and the Sack Kingdom Military Magic Machinery Research and Development Center only used craftsmen to make it. It seems that a large proportion is made, but in fact But it's just an iron frame with the least technical content.
And even this iron frame uses only ordinary refined pig iron, so its hardness and flexibility are far inferior to the magic motorcycle of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
In addition, the craftsman's hand-made work is far from enough to ensure precision, so often only three or four out of ten finished products are considered qualified.
The consequence of this is that the manufacturing cost is extremely high, even several times more expensive than buying a magic motorcycle directly from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, this military magic machine research and development center only invested some energy in some civilian magic machines in the early stage, but was immediately stopped by the Kingdom's Finance Office due to funding issues. Now all the energy is concentrated on the research and development of military magic machines.
But even if all the energy, funds and even manpower are concentrated on the research and development of military magic machines, the actual results are still not satisfactory...
Thinking of some of the things he had seen in this military magic machinery research and development center in the past few days, Chief of Staff Duran couldn't help but shook his head and sighed secretly in his heart.
"Chief of Staff Durank, good morning. The Great Magician Mayev is waiting for you." A researcher wearing a magician's robe happened to pass by and said hello to Chief of Staff Durank.
"Well, good morning, I'm going to see him right now." Chief of Staff Duran responded with a smile and walked quickly deeper into the base.
After entering a huge valley, Chief of Staff Durank met the great magician Moyev, the director of the military magic machinery research and development center.
The great magician Mayev is one of the seven great magicians in the Sark Kingdom. He was originally the vice president of the Royal Academy of Magic. When he saw that this military magic machine research and development center was established, he took the initiative to be transferred here.
The imitation magic motorcycle that Chief of Staff Duran saw before was made by him.
Seeing Chief of Staff Duranke approaching, the great magician Mayev waved to him.
"Chief of Staff Duran, you are here at the right time. Regarding the long-range magic artillery of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Guards that you mentioned yesterday, I have a few more questions to ask you."
"Excuse me." Facing a distinguished great magician, Duranke was very polite even though he was the chief of staff of the Turtle Legion.
"You said yesterday that when the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort team launched an attack on you, they were at least more than two kilometers away from you. But after detailed calculations yesterday, I found that this is a bit unrealistic. Because among the known magic, there is only forbidden magic. Only curse-level magic can have such a long attack range, but of course the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Guards cannot release forbidden curses at will, right?"
"Of course." Chief of Staff Duran nodded. "If the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escorts can use a bunch of forbidden spells casually, then the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has no need to trouble us, because they have already easily ruled the entire Sainz continent."
"Chief of Staff Durank, this joke is not funny at all." The great magician Moev frowned slightly, shook his head, and continued: "I can be sure that it is not forbidden magic, because the power is obviously far inferior. In this case, the only possibility left is to use magic to launch lethal magic shells similar to the principle of the magic trebuchet. Do you agree? "
"Well, that should be true." Chief of Staff Durank nodded and felt a little strange. "Great Magician Moev, hasn't this been confirmed a long time ago? And judging from the information sent back by the spies we arranged at the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, this is the basic principle of many military magic machines of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. You I asked this question suddenly…”
"I just want to confirm." The great magician Moev said sternly: "Because this involves another very critical issue. What kind of magic does the military magic machine of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce use to launch magic cannonballs so far away? How about being able to hit the defenses in front of you so accurately, but not attacking you hiding behind?"
Chief of Staff Duran was startled for a moment, and then he remembered that this was indeed a problem.
When he was forced back by the fierce attack of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team, he did not think about it carefully. He only felt that with the powerful power of the military magic machinery mastered by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team, this was a natural result.
But now that he was reminded by the great magician Moyev, he discovered that what the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team had done before was actually very amazing.
It's okay to attack from a long distance. How did the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escorts control their attacks to such a precise range without causing accidental damage
You know, even archery may make mistakes, but when they were attacked before, all the magic artillery of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce accurately landed on the front half of the fortifications deployed by the Spirit Turtle Legion, that is, there were no soldiers. In the range.
The final result was that the fortifications carefully laid out by the Spirit Turtle Legion for half a year were completely destroyed. However, the Spirit Turtle Legion did not suffer any casualties from beginning to end.
If you think about this carefully, it is even more frightening than the complete annihilation of the Turtle Legion.
Because this means that the power of the military magic machinery in the hands of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has reached an incredibly powerful level, even beyond the common sense of Chief of Staff Duranke.
Seeing the change in expression on Chief of Staff Durank's face, the great magician Moev knew that he finally understood what he wanted to ask. After a moment of silence, he waved to him again.
Chief of Staff Durank followed him slightly dazedly, and the two entered a huge open testing site in this valley.
In the center of the venue stood a huge support with a thick metal pipe erected on it, which looked very powerful.
"This is a magic artillery developed by us based on the information provided by the Military Intelligence Agency. Please help us take a look at it and provide us with the experience of actual combat troops." said the great magician Moev.
"Okay." Chief of Staff Duran nodded in agreement.
However, looking at this powerful but clumsy magic cannon in the open square, he couldn't hold any expectations in his heart.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's magic artillery can even achieve precise fixed-point strikes. Can this magic artillery have half its power? (To be continued...)
