Chapter 486 Transfer to the Trial Court
monster?
Hughes couldn't help but turn his head to look at the armored train on the side.
Due to the need to transport large amounts of goods and to knock out obstacles blocking the road, the steam engine installed on the front of the locomotive has very high power. For such a primitive machine, high power also means large size.
In addition, the outer armor protection is also quite thick, and there are multiple firepower platforms installed on the top of the vehicle, so the whole vehicle is extremely huge.
A shovel was also installed in front of the vehicle to push away obstructions and deal with the spikes of wild beasts. The expeditionaries also made some minor changes and graffiti in their spare time, such as shark teeth on the airship. For some reason, this paint scheme was favored by most people.
So the whole car looks quite ferocious.
No, it was actually quite hideous. The prince looked at the black muzzle of the gun on the roof and subconsciously felt a chill on his back.
But Hughes obviously didn't feel that way. He walked around the locomotive a few times with some confusion, and said puzzledly: "What an industrial-looking train! Look at the texture of the steel, look at the smooth lines. How can it be called a monster?"
Hunter:.Prince:.Prince: "Anyway, what's the status of the resistance?"
Hunter thought for a moment and replied seriously, "They should be in good condition. The attack launched by Viscount Frey is just a show. He needs the resistance army to exist so that he can have a legitimate reason to stay in Earl Bazel's territory."
"Although such an attack is not easy for the resistance army."
The prince glanced at the clerk next to him and saw that she had recorded everything before continuing to ask: "Where is Nora? Oh, sorry Miss Nora, I'm not referring to you, but to the big Nora."
Nora glared at him but said nothing.
Things in the North are of great importance, so Nora is naturally here, but to be honest, compared to her other half, she cares more about the expeditionary force.
Nora's idea is very simple. The living is a person, and the dead is meat. Although the other half of Nora should not be considered dead, to Nora it is just a piece of moving meat.
I can’t take it back anyway.
If the severed limbs could be reattached, she would also like to have six hands. Nora was quite envious of Nini who wrote reports with six hands at the same time all day long.
Forget about the tail, it doesn't look very convenient and it seems to get tangled easily. Nora thinks it's better to use the vase under her head.
But Gwen and the members of the Resistance are the ones she truly cares about.
Hunter's expression turned strange.
"Nora. She seems to be missing."
The prince frowned. "Yes, yes. No, no. What do you mean by 'seemingly'? Has she been staying in the castle all this time?"
"No, on the contrary. She killed and dispersed the coalition's attacking army in a previous siege. Then, instead of retreating back to the castle, she rushed out, killed through the coalition army, and left."
The prince and Hughes were stunned. They looked at each other, and Hughes turned to look at Kyle who was in charge of the escort.
"So the coalition is weak?"
Kyle thought about it carefully: "Quite weak."
Hunter's eyes twitched, and he looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
He really wanted to say that the coalition forces were not weak, and could barely be considered the top-tier army in the entire North. After all, they were used to deal with Basel.
Even if they only sent out some soldiers to pretend to attack Sleddingburg, the resistance army would be at a loss.
But the coalition forces have already turned into a pool of meat paste. Who would believe what he said?
So he just said hesitantly: "Sometimes Nora will come back to fight. There was a siege before, and the resistance army was almost unable to hold on. Nora somehow returned to the battlefield and appeared behind the coalition forces. That was the battle with the heaviest casualties for the coalition forces."
This is quite interesting.
"You mean Nora isn't in Sleddingburg right now, but occasionally shows up on the battlefield? Aren't you an army? You can't stop her? Are you so weak?"
Hunter opened his mouth and gave up. "I can't stop her. She has incredible strength and endurance, and she has no weaknesses. She's not afraid of being shot at all."
Everyone's eyes turned to Nora.
"Nora, you are so strong"
"Wait, Nora is not strong. It's Nora who is strong. Nora is just Nora's weakness." Monica put her hands on her hips and pretended to reach out and pat Nora's head. "It doesn't matter. Although you have lost your body, Nora has lost her weakness~"
Nora bit the hand that was extended to her without thinking.
Hughes waved his hand to signal Ash to carry out the two people who started fighting, and then looked Hunter up and down: "Are you a noble?"
“Yes, my father is.”
"Then you should have a detailed map of the North, right?"
"Yes, there are." Hunter nodded quickly. "But they are all in my carriage. They may not be preserved, but I can draw them! I have been near Sleddingburg for a long time. I am familiar with the place!"
Seeing that Zeus had a bad look on his face, Hunter quickly changed his words. He began to feel that something was wrong. The two people in front of him didn't seem to care that much about his noble status.
He was just a little dull, not stupid, so he could naturally vaguely sense the attitudes of the two people.
Not only did they not talk about bloodline and inheritance, they didn't even look at his emblem, let alone mention the ransom.
Apart from his noble status, what else is worthy of praise about him?
Hunter shuddered. He was just a scholar who could do nothing but study hard. He had neither the ability to manage a territory nor was he good at interpersonal communication. He didn't know much about astrology, history, poetry and other things that were popular among the nobles. As for manufacturing machinery, he was indeed good at it, but did the other side need it?
Thinking of the bullets falling from the sky, his scalp felt tingling. The catapult he built was like a joke in front of these weapons.
Damn it, I should have learned some alchemy earlier. Studying mechanics is a dead end!
Hunter couldn't help but think in despair.
Hughes' interrogation of Hunter was basically over, and he had a basic understanding of the situation in the North. When he was about to leave, he suddenly paused.
"I remember you were a scholar?"
"Yes! I learned, uh, mechanical technology from Master Siegfried Bell."
Hunter's voice trailed off.
But the young lord in front of him suddenly had his eyes brightened and he whispered to the assistant beside him.
Hunter suddenly felt hopeful. Could it be that this lord had some knowledge of mechanical technology? "Transfer it to the Inquisition."
The little hope that had just risen in Hunter's heart was like a glass falling to the ground and was instantly shattered.
The word "trial court" sounded terrifying. Hunter already had an image of himself being tied to the stake.
