Starry Sky of the Magic Tower

Nagadai City, the tenth experimental battallion that arrived earlier, according to the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs, everyone and materials entered the designated airship. At the same time, all airships docking at the Nagarde Airport must stay in designated positions. Generally speaking, it is distributed on the periphery of the airport, and the reserved center has a relatively large space, so that latecomers will intuitively stop at the center of the encircling net.

In the first row outside the open space in the center, there is an airship containing the tenth battallion source of troops. All ships maintain the activated state so that they can set off in the airship immediately after receiving the transfer order; or after receiving the order to attack, they will leave the ship and surround the target immediately.

And this time the empire’s battle preparations are not only a battleground. There are also several airships with excellent offensive capabilities and excellent elevation limits, entering into an ambush in the clouds. As soon as the target appears, immediately block the sky, and make sure that the opponent cannot escape.

It’s just this instruction from the Gwana Empire that made the owners of these airships who had been requisitioned quite disapproving. If it were to form the Hyder Empire with the airship Legion, it would never make such a mistake.

No matter the sky, the sea, or even on land, speed is everything. If the Sid is really as stated in the intelligence, the owner of the no boat thinks it is possible to intercept the opponent.

The moving airship is blasting at close range, or the experienced gunner knows how to predict the amount. But the premise of these experiences is that there is not much difference in the speed of the airships between the two sides. When the speed of the Sid was reached, the target was probably aimed well, and the target escaped from the firing line after these few gaps were about to launch.

In fact, after this incident, the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Gwana Empire also brought out the opinions on the establishment of the airship Legion and discussed it internally. The reason why this proposal was shelved before is because the shipbuilding technology is not as good as the Haider Empire, and secondly, there are not many high-quality wood suitable for shipbuilding and belonging to the level of magical materials in Haider.

Regardless of the technical issues, to build an airship in the Gwana Empire the same as the Haider Empire, the cost is much more expensive than others. However, these problems will no longer be a problem after the Seid is captured.

The Gwana Empire suffered a loss in this operation. As the hostile party, they certainly understood the meaning of Sid’s speed advantage better than others. There is no need to build up to the level of Legion. As long as they can transport a battallion, it means that they can put the power of the imperial knife to any battlefield at will, fast in and out, and tear the front at will before the enemy reacts.

So in the military map room, there was the young officer who was free and began to discuss the use of this airship battallion. At the same time, I thought about which battallion in the First Army group would be disbanded, and moved the number of the tenth experimental battallion, which was only established for about three years, to move forward.

The attitude of everyone from top to bottom seems to have regarded the Sid as something in the bag. This caused the Minister of Military Affairs who had returned to the military map room to wait for a wave of unwarranted worry. Is it too early for a group of youngsters who have not experienced major setbacks to stay in such an important place?

In the city of Nagarde, the transcenders in the tenth experimental battallion gathered on the same airship. This airship can be regarded as the most luxurious and the fastest in expropriation. Due to military regulations, they cannot drink. But I still made a big pot of refreshing tea to keep everyone in their best condition.

Their mission involves limited damage to the airship, preventing the target from taking off again. So they all put the weapon with the greatest destructive power beside them, waiting for the target to appear.

It’s just that the waiting time is not so exhausting. There are those impatient people who are pacing in the airship, going back and forth, and seeing others are equally upset.

“Big guy, stop. You are going to faint me.” Someone said dissatisfiedly.

The person who was complained was also dissatisfied, saying: “Why haven’t the target appeared yet? It’s just a few kittens, and the Black Dragon looks tricky. Finish the fight earlier, and go back early to rest. “

“Be patient.” Great Captain, who is also a transcender, warned the younger generations who stepped into the same realm, and said: “Sometimes the difference between hunters and prey lies in who has the better Patience.”

“Come!” The youngster who is a nobleman, the army officer specially dispatched by the Military Library, suddenly shouted. He moved swiftly to operate the interface on the water mirror technique screen, and under the attention of all the personnel in the airship, he excitedly said: “The latest sighting location of the Sid, Lebap City.”

I waited until the impatient transcender, and immediately yelled: “very good! Now that we know the target location, we immediately set off, surround and knock them out!” Although the voice was loud, there were few responders. Perceiving the abnormality, he looked at other people’s dazed expressions and asked: “What’s wrong with you? Why haven’t you set off yet?”

Cleared his throat with a cough, the Great of the tenth battallion Captain asked the army officer from the military drawing room next to him, and said, “Well, where is Lebap City? It doesn’t seem to be a city near Nagarde.”

The same dumbfounded, and the at First very excited entourage officer. The plan made by the Military Library must not be described in detail. With the city of Nagarde as the center, there are more than a dozen surrounding cities that are likely to be the target of the airship, all of which have made a matching plan according to the distance.

The distance is close, the time is more abundant, you can carry more equipment, and prepare for the battle. Available offensive options include waiting until the opponent is resting in the hotel, encircling them, and then launching an offense at night. There is no surplus for those who are far away, but the minimum level of preparation and planning can still be done.

It’s just that…these cities do not include Lebap City. The reason is simple, because Lebap City is simply not in the vicinity of the Abaizhi mountain range, that is, a city that does not belong to the Abaizhi line. After crossing the mountain range and flying northwest for a few days, he will arrive at a desert edge city, a barren land. It was still a long time before everyone found a place on the map of the whole land.

Then all those who are following the movements of the Sid, whether it is in the military drawing room of the military department of the imperial capital, or on the airship in the city of Nagarde, or in the military barracks stationed in the city of Hailis Yes, it all collapsed. Of course, some people are laughing.

It takes at least ten days to take a normal airship from Basra to Lebap City. In other words, the speed of the Sid was even faster than what was shown the day before. And they also completely deviated from the direction of the magician’s Holy City, Estali, moved towards a place out of reach. In this case, the young aristocratic officers in the military drawing room, how can they not be crazy!

Just like the rules on a chessboard, the pawn can only go one square forward, not more, nor change direction. As a result, the idiot who couldn’t play chess on the opposite side lifted the chessboard directly. There was no grid. The only soldier in his hand could go whatever he wanted, his willfulness to the extreme.

But if they really value the intelligence of this group of people, and think and analyze it carefully, in fact, the movements of the Sid are not surprising.

First of all, although the original appearance is not visible, the Sid is not a newly built airship, but a transformation from the goblin airship Hindenburg. The primordial Hindenburg uses a huge gas balloon to provide buoyancy and a goblin version of the fuel engine as the propulsion mechanism.

Although the modified Sid has abandoned the balloon, its buoyancy is provided by a better magic device. However, the design of the fuel engine has been retained, but it has been changed. Of course, this is from the perspective of a general maze; for someone, he is just using Earth’s mature engine design.

Since the engine is still the main propulsion power of the Sid, as well as a secondary source of supplementary power, he is bound to add fuel. In the case of Midi, the extracted crude oil is supplied to the fractionation tower installed inside the airship for refining.

Crude oil is in the maze, and is not that absolutely does not have use. At least as a weapon of war, it can create flames that are difficult to extinguish. Therefore, in the’Land of Death that overflows with black water’, some people still collect a small amount of crude oil. However, in terms of large-scale production, there is only one place in the empire, and that is the autonomous city where the goblin clan gathers-Lebap.

This was once the capital of the Goblin Empire, and it was also a land of fertility and beauty. It is a paradise that everyone yearns for. As for why it became today’s desert terrain, it’s actually the same reason as Earth’s desertification. Failure to do a good job of soil and water conservation, over-exploitation, treating natural resources as inexhaustible, inexhaustible and inexhaustible cultivation, in the end, what will not be left, only a dead silence.

According to Midi’s statement, goblins are too good at messing up, blasting everywhere, until the end of the explosion, the barren will become like a desert… In fact, if you think about it seriously, it still makes sense. of.

Although there is nothing left here, there will be’black water’ in the sand, which has become the most frequently contacted and researched thing by the goblins who stay here. For them, of course, it is hoped to develop the use of these “black water” so that they can exchange the materials they need for life.

Speaking of which is very wronged, in fact the goblins are also very wronged. The battle strength of the goblin empire was once the same, and it was fascinating. Using Lin’s eyes to evaluate, regardless of the factor of bombing, goblins have many weapons that are ahead of the time.

But the countries that Earth can afford to fight modern wars are all industrial powers, relying on a strong industrial base and the natural resources they produce to be able to tyrannize. The Goblin Empire does not have such a foundation, so they are as brilliant as fireworks, and then they are finished in three seconds.

The goblin also wanted to escape from this barren land, and only a handful of them were nostalgic for the glory of the goblin empire and stayed here. However, they lost resources and a large number of lost technologies due to the explosion. In the end, they lost to other Homo sapiens in the expansion territory, and were driven back, or left this traditional civilization development land and entered the once barbaric.

After that, several different races were the protagonists, and the dark age ruled by Demon King Tikal, and then entered the current era dominated by humans. The establishment of the former Gwana’Allies’, the goblin clan paid a considerable price to become a member of the Hundred Clan Alliance.

The city of Lebap was actually taken by other races with disdain, which allowed the goblins to retain it as the last memory of the glory of the former empire. So goblins are full of grievances when they talk about this city…

How does it feel to guard an oil field and say that they are poor and bad luck? A certain transcendence cannot be imagined.
