Amidst the roar, the steel cable suddenly straightened.
The air burst out with a low sound like a string in the whip.
Under the blazing searchlight, the huge armor was slowly lifted up. With the commander's gesture, he got closer to the behemoth little by little, and the steel fit onto the dripping flesh.
Immediately afterwards, the screw like a giant spear penetrated the socket of the armor under the twist of the mechanism, penetrating the flesh and blood, causing the thick flesh under the armor to tremble and blood to spurt out.
In that painful tremor that was like the shaking of the earth, the screws were deeply wedged into the bones beneath the flesh. Immediately afterwards, the welding musician came forward, controlled the flame, and welded the rivets and armor into one.
It's like putting on a coat of iron for a giant.
"Higher, higher!"
In the scorching air, Captain Yegor commanded the others, roaring at the top of his lungs.
Under the operation of the huge factory, piece after piece of armor slowly fit into the flesh and blood of Nomadic Mountain. This was the final step.
The final commissioning of Nomad Mountain was completed four days ago.
After being disassembled and assembled again and again, Nomad Mountain's body has expanded by nearly half. Bloody muscle bundles wrap the bone plates as the inner armor. Artificial muscle bundles as thick as a human body are wrapped with complex alchemical matrices. , swallowing the ether, like blood pulsating.
At this point, all the remaining potential of Nomadic Mountain has been developed.
Moreover, it was given new powers by the Queen.
—Long Wei.
Under the transformation of the Golden Chapter of Victory, the sea troll with the blood of Leviathan reactivated its dormant animal nature, sublimated it, and turned into an out-and-out dragonborn.
It was as if the red dragon had turned into steel, and the destruction had turned into a warship.
Under the original skull and boat figure, a pair of huge eyes had slowly opened, and the red vertical pupils stared indifferently ahead, enduring the pain.
Only the sound of the beating heart was like a drum, resounding in the huge and stuffy workshop, making everyone feel swaying and in awe.
"Bad news just came."
Through the respirator mask, Stone's voice was thick and muddy: "Asgard and Burgundy have formed an alliance. The development rights of four lapis mines were exchanged for Burgundy's open border corridor and territorial waters."
"At least this way we can determine their purpose."
Ye Qingxuan nodded, turned around and motioned for Shi Dong to follow. The two left the high-rise stands and returned to Ye Qingxuan's office. Ye Qingxuan picked up the plan delivered by the military department on the table and threw it to Shi Dong.
After Shi Dong read it, he put it down, remained silent for a long time, and exhaled a turbid breath.
"Any ideas?"
"It's difficult..." Stone pinched his iron chin and said in a hoarse voice: "If I guess correctly, the Asgardians will probably choose to attack in two lines next."
Although Anglo is a maritime country, its territory has four districts and a total of twenty-seven counties, more than half of which are on land.
After Burgundy opens the border corridor, Asgard can directly bypass the Blanc Mountains and directly pose a threat to Anglo's grain-producing areas and many industrial cities.
And what Angelu will face then is the Zhuniao clan, which is hailed as the three pillars of the empire by Asgard.
After the Battle of Nebuchadsar last year, after personally retiring the heavy cavalry from the altar and ushering in the era of powered armor, the Zhuniao clan successfully ascended to the throne. It was under the leadership of that emperor that Asgard burst out with terrifying enthusiasm for the new thing called power armor.
For the next hundred years, the armored corps with the red bird as its totem became the nightmare of all armies.
Even now, the Vermilion Bird Legion is still the largest armored legion in Asgard, no, in the entire world. Among the 160,000 members, 100,000 are from other branches, and the remaining 60,000 all exist around power armor.
In order to maintain the operation of the legion, there are even heavy industry cities with more than 14,000 mechanical engineers serving the legion. I am afraid that the number will increase several times during the war.
There are 20,000 pairs of standing power armor, of which at least 4,000 are the most famous "frost giants" in Asgard. The Frost Giant Knights, which have been cultivated after spending an unknown amount of effort and money, have not yet been able to gather a full force of 4,000. They are said to be able to fight against three times more enemies of the same size.
Once the Zhuniao clan's army presses the border, Angelou will probably have to devote all his national power to mobilize all the legions to resist.
Even the Queen's own army, the Knights of the Round Table, will be dispatched in full force.
In this way, we can rely on the special terrain of the Blanc Mountains to keep Asgard out of the country. Otherwise, once the Blanc Fortress is lost and the Vermilion Bird Legion is defeated, the thousands of miles of plains and fertile land behind will be exhausted almost within three days. Fall.
Angelou will be completely in trouble.
"What's even worse is that the Asgardian fleet will pass through Burgundy's territorial waters and directly enter Anglo territorial waters..."
Ye Qingxuan looked at the map and drew a somewhat winding arc. The end of the arc passed through Angelou's territorial waters and pointed directly at Avalon.
"If we leave it alone, Asgard's maritime fortress will arrive at Avalon in just a day and a half. In other words, once they enter our territorial waters, we will no longer have any strategic depth."
Stone shook his head: "It is too reluctant to go to war with the established empire with the national strength of Angelus, which has just begun to revive."
"So I'm going to do it myself."
Ye Qingxuan looked at the map: "This battle will be won at sea."
Even if the Asgardians' land military strength is more than three times greater than that of Angelou, the Brown Fortress cannot be captured with three times its military strength.
Defense originally took too much advantage over offense.
In this regard, Ye Qingxuan's mentality was very bachelor.
As long as Angelou's army holds on, it will be a victory if not all are killed.
Ye Qingxuan has even made a plan. Once he finds out that the Holy City is involved in this war, even if there is only one soldier, he will have reason to send the Witch's Hammer to the front line.
Although the Holy City will most likely not give him this excuse.
He wants to drag the Asgardians into a protracted war. The longer the fight, the better. It is best to turn Brown Fortress into a quagmire and drag several nearby small countries into the water!
As long as the Asgardians don't send out the land giant Hercules frantically, and as long as they are not overwhelmed by their absolute strength, then this battle can still be fought.
Anyway, it's just such a big place, and it's useless if there are more people. What matters is the protracted war capabilities of both sides.
In short, burning money.
After thinking about this, Ye Qingxuan even began to suspect that Burgundy had hidden evil intentions in forming an alliance with Asgard so simply.
What is open is only the border corridor, which limits the scale of the war. Through this, Burgundy lengthens Asgard's supply line and can also take advantage of Asgard's military supplies.
What do you need urgently? I have it and I can sell it to you. Ten times the price is not expensive, right
On the other hand, Anglo, with the Stirling internal combustion engine and the resumption of the industrial revolution, domestic productivity has almost increased by more than five times. As long as it does not lose control of the sea, then hundreds of routes are equivalent to a steady stream of lapis lazuli. The mine and the entire ocean are Anglo's bank. You can withdraw as much as you want.
There is no need to worry about the food issue at all. Not even a third of the old food stored in the past to fight against Leviathan has been consumed.
Angelou now has great stamina and is not afraid of any war at all.
And all this has only one premise.
The Navy held on.
The Navy must hold on.
The significance of the Royal Fleet is to ensure that Anglo has a stable rear and can keep the ocean as a money printing machine.
Just like what Ye Qingxuan said.
The outcome of this battle cannot be determined by the fierce battle of Blanc Fortress.
But on the sea...
…
…
Similarly, in Asgard, under the Golden Palace, in the naval headquarters, the same topic continues.
In the huge and empty conference room, there were only one old man and one young man.
The old musician who has returned to his original state no longer needs to hold the wedge-shaped stone slab every day to survive. Although he is still fragile, his movements are not hindered.
Sitting opposite him was a silent young man.
Mingming looks like he is only in his twenties, but his hair is already graying, his back is hunched, and his eyes are cloudy, like a sick man. The lowered eyes seemed sleepy, but there was a sudden cold light flashing through him while he was half asleep and half awake.
chill.
There was a lingering chill wrapped around this young man's body, as if he had the murderous aura that resulted from the lives of countless people. Like a rusty sharp knife, only after the rust and blood-brown peeling off can the cold edge underneath be revealed.
He was clearly wearing Asgard's military uniform, but it felt inappropriate no matter how he looked at it, as if this young man should have more suitable clothes... more sacred and solemn... and more gloomy and terrifying.
The old musician couldn't help but sigh: "Sorry, Asgard's military uniform may not be as comfortable for you as the uniform of the Silent Agency, but for the sake of long-term planning, please be patient for a while."
"Don't worry, for me, the quality of clothes has never been an issue."
The young man sat on a chair, groping for the silver cane on his knee, with a cold expression: "I can understand the arrangement of the Holy City. After all, the person in charge of the silent agency cannot appear on the battlefield in Asgard."
"It's great that you understand, Rommel." The old musician nodded and felt a little relieved, but he still felt a headache when facing this young man.
After the previous generation Handel, a new generation of Handel.
After the previous generation of silent agency leaders, there is a new generation of leaders.
The young musician named Rommel was the successor of the saint appointed in the Holy City three years ago, and he was also a student and disciple of Handel of the previous generation.
There was even a guarantee for his future from the Pope and the Keepers of the Sacred Cauldron.
Since the age of fourteen, he has joined the Silent Agency - he has become like a fish in water in this secret service that is feared by all countries. By the time he was nineteen, he was already in a high position. He was not inferior to Wolf Flute and was known as the "Quick Knife". ” and “Mad Dog.”
Originally, everyone expected him to break through the distortion level and enter the realm of master. It would take at least fifteen years before he became the scepter and succeeded the holy name.
Fifteen years later, a thirty-seven-year-old saint was young enough.
But no one expected that he would be so fast.
