Chapter 90 Surprising Gap

The chief of staff of Duran, who was in doubt, returned to the capital of the Kingdom of Sark, Nordaunton City, in response to the military headquarters after the Spirit Turtle Legion withdrew to the territory of the Kingdom of Sark.

Although the Spirit Turtle Legion suffered a defeat and had to retreat, the army of the Kingdom of Sark did not make any accusations or punishments against the Spirit Turtle Legion.

The first reason is that the place where the Spirit Turtle Legion built fortifications was originally in the territory designated by the Kingdom of Sark to the Moon Shadow Tribe, and the task it performed was to block the Moon Shadow Tribe, so it was logically unacceptable. foot.

This time, the elves of the Moon Shadow Tribe joined forces with the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to fight back and drove them out. At least in terms of righteousness, there is no problem. It is too easy to punish the Spirit Turtle Legion for this.

The second reason, and the most fundamental reason, is that the army of the Kingdom of Sark hoped to block the elves of the Moon Shadow Tribe with the Spirit Turtle Legion, but never expected the Spirit Turtle Legion to be able to withstand the attack of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's guards. Can live.

In the several countries in the southwest corner of the Sainz continent, a consensus has been formed on the combat effectiveness of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort, that is, it is impossible to face it head-on.

Therefore, the Spirit Turtle Legion would fail under the attack of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's guards, and it was not something that needed to be punished, because it was beyond their capabilities.

This time, the military department of the Kingdom of Sark summoned Chief of Staff Duran, mainly to obtain first-hand information about the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from Chief of Staff Duran.

Therefore, after Chief of Staff Dulan returned to Nordaeron City, besides reporting to the military department, he spent more time. They all went to the military magic machinery research and development center jointly established by the military department and the Kingdom Magic Research Institute. Provide your own front-line information to cooperate with the work of the R&D center.

Today is the fifth day since Chief of Staff Duran returned to Nordaeron. He got up early in the morning, and after breakfast, he took a carriage to the military magic machinery research and development center located 30 kilometers northwest of Nordaeron as usual.

This research and development center occupies a huge piece of land including five valleys, and is surrounded by walls, and the defense is extremely tight.

Even if Chief of Staff Durant came, he still had to go through layers of checkpoints before he was allowed to enter.

But when you really go inside, you will find that it seems to be another world.

Countless magical machines of all shapes and sizes are scurrying back and forth in this research and development center base, making it dizzying.

These magic machines are all magicians who assist in the research of military magic machines in the magic research institute. According to the inspiration provided by the various magic machines of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is self-developed and designed.

The most conspicuous among them is a imitation magic locomotive with four wheels, running back and forth on the road of the base at an extremely fast speed.

Judging from the appearance, this imitation magic locomotive is not much different from the magic locomotive of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which made Chief of Staff Duran almost admit his mistake when he came on the first day.

But after a few days of coming here, he already knew very well that although this imitation magic motorcycle looks very capable of running, it can only run on four wheels. It can't carry any objects at all, it's just a show.

And it's not just that the core magic engine in this imitation magic locomotive was removed from the magic locomotive purchased by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Even the four most basic tires were purchased from Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

To put it simply, almost all the parts on this imitation magic locomotive are purchased from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the Sak Kingdom Military Magic Machinery R&D Center only uses craftsmen to make it. It seems that it accounts for a large proportion. But it's just an iron shelf with the least technical content.

And even this iron frame is far inferior to the magic locomotive of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce because it only uses ordinary refined pig iron, both in hardness and flexibility.

In addition, the manual work of craftsmen is far from enough to ensure precision, so it often takes at most three or four out of ten finished products to be considered qualified.

The consequence of this is that the manufacturing cost is extremely high, even several times more expensive than buying a magic locomotive directly from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Therefore, this military magic machinery research and development center only invested some energy in some civilian magic machinery at the beginning, and was immediately stopped by the Kingdom Finance Department due to funding problems. Now all energy is concentrated on the research and development of military magic machinery.

But even if all the energy, funds and even manpower are concentrated on the research and development of military magic machinery, the real effect is still not satisfactory...

Thinking of some things he saw in this military magic machinery research and development center in the past few days, Chief of Staff Duranke couldn't help shaking his head, and sighed secretly in his heart.

"Good morning, Chief of Staff Duran. The great magician Moyev is waiting for you." A researcher wearing a magician's robe happened to pass by and greeted Chief of Staff Duran.

"Well, good morning, I'm going to see him right now." Chief of Staff Duranke responded with a laugh, and walked quickly to the depths of the base.

After entering a huge valley, Chief of Staff Duran met the Grand Magician Moyev, the director of the military magic machinery research and development center.

The great magician Moyev is one of the seven great magicians of the Sark Kingdom. He was originally the vice president of the Royal Academy of Magic.

The imitation magic locomotive that Chief of Staff Duran saw before was written by him.

Seeing Chief of Staff Durank approaching, Grand Magician Moyev waved to him.

"Chief of Staff Duran, you came just in time. I still have a few questions I want to ask you about the long-range magic artillery of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort you mentioned yesterday."

"Excuse me." Facing a distinguished great magician, even though Dulanke was the chief of staff of the Spirit Turtle Legion, he was very polite.

"You said yesterday that when the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce attacked you, they were at least two kilometers away from you. But after a detailed calculation yesterday, I found that this is a bit unrealistic. Because of the known magic, only forbidden Only magic at the level of spells can have such a long attack distance. But of course the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce cannot release forbidden spells at will, right?"

"Of course." Chief of Staff Duran nodded. "If the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can use a bunch of forbidden spells casually, then there is no need for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to trouble us, because they have already easily ruled the entire Sainz continent."

"Chief of Staff Duran, this joke is not funny at all." The great magician Moyev 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, there is only one possibility left, which is similar to the principle of the magic trebuchet, using magic to launch lethal magic shells to form an attack, do you agree?"

"Well, it should be like this." After Chief of Staff Duran nodded, he felt a little strange again. "Master Moyev, this point has been confirmed long ago. And 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 in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. You Asking this question out of the blue..."

"I just want to confirm." The great magician Moyev said seriously: "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 the magic cannonballs so far? Can you hit the fortifications in front of you with such precision, but didn't attack you who are hiding behind?"

Chief of Staff Duran was slightly taken aback, and then he remembered that this was indeed a problem.

When he was forced back by the fierce attack of the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce before, he didn't think about it carefully. He only felt that it was a natural result with the powerful military magic machinery mastered by the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

But now that he was reminded by the great magician Moyev, he found that what the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had done before was actually very amazing.

It’s all about the long attack distance. How did the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce manage to control their attacks within such a precise range without accidental injury?

You know, even archery may make mistakes, but when they were attacked before, all the magic cannons of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce fell precisely on the front half of the fortifications arranged by the Spirit Turtle Legion, that is, there were no soldiers In the range.

The final result was that the fortifications carefully arranged 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 it carefully, it is even more frightening than the annihilation of the Spirit Turtle Legion.

Because this means that the power of the military magic machinery in the hands of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has reached an unbelievably powerful level, even beyond the common sense of Chief of Staff Duran.

Seeing the change in the expression on the face of Chief of Staff Duran, the great magician Moyev knew that he finally understood what he wanted to ask, and after a moment of silence, he waved to him again.

Chief of Staff Durran followed behind him in a daze, and the two entered a huge open test site in this valley.

In the center of the field stands a huge stand, on which stands a thick metal pipe, which looks very powerful.

"This is a magic artillery developed by us based on the information provided by the Military Intelligence Agency. You can help to take a look at it and provide you with the experience of these actual combat troops." The great magician Moyev said.

"Okay." Chief of Staff Duran nodded in response.

However, looking at the mighty but clumsy magic cannon on the open square, he couldn't hold any expectations in his heart.

The magic artillery of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can even achieve precise fixed-point strikes. Can this magic artillery have half its power? (To be continued..)
