Chapter 535: The Glorious Empire Enters (Additional 10)
As it turned out, not only did no fighting break out on the Verdun battlefield, but no fighting broke out for many days. Instead, a unique magical weather battle broke out.
The coalition used magic to influence the weather, which indeed hindered the Empire's attack, which made the Imperial Crown Prince extremely angry.
However, despite being angry, he also had to find a way to solve the problem first!
I don't know who gave the suggestion, or maybe he just had an idea on his own - you can control the weather with magic, but I can't?
Therefore, he also gathered a large number of magicians, set up a super-large magic circle, and then mobilized the power of elements to counterattack.
If you want it to rain, I will stir up a strong wind and blow away the dark clouds.
If you want it to snow, I will find a big fireball to evaporate the moisture in the air.
It's really lively with people talking and interacting with each other.
Moreover, even in the history of wars in the Old World, there has never been such a unique scene.
Weather warfare is a sneaky operation behind enemy lines, mostly aimed at slowing down the enemy's movements, but unexpectedly, it allowed both sides to complete the offensive and defensive battle.
At this stage, the coalition forces are still superior.
The reason is simple. They have a stronger foundation, can mobilize more magicians, and can snatch more elemental power.
At the same time, after repeated tug-of-war, the ground of the Verdun battlefield absorbed enough water and became mushy, and even showed signs of developing into a swamp.
Even though the magic tank is powerful and the off-road capability of its tracks is obvious, the problem is that it weighs up to sixty tons!
When the ground turned into a muddy swamp, even a magic tank would be stuck in it and unable to extricate itself.
Many days passed before the Empire confirmed that it could not defeat the coalition forces in weather warfare and that the situation would only get worse.
During this period, the coalition forces finally had enough time to gather a large number of troops in Verdun.
Even the Bonaparte royal family planned the first railway, right here, and formed a construction team to lay the tracks under hail of bullets.
In March of the 316th year of the New Divine Calendar, the Empire's attempt to quickly attack Verdun and capture it was thwarted.
However, the Empire did not give up its plan, but continued its fierce attack here.
On the other side, in the Flower Sect, Luo Yi also received his three sacred skills and the corresponding magical items for cultivation.
Deep Blue immediately included it and started the adaptive optimization task based on Loyi's physique.
Without Deep Blue's improvements, Luo Yi would not dare to practice. This time, it would also take some time.
However, some preparatory work can already be done.
For example, various precious magic materials needed for cultivation,
For example, the special potion for dissolving strange objects needs to be configured.
Of course, in order to cultivate the [Sky Blue Sacred Tree], the oldest tree was needed. After much deliberation, Lois asked the Furious King Silas to go to the depths of the Sky Dome Mountains.
This is the only intact primeval forest in the entire Old World. If you want to find precious tree species that will last for a long time, this is the only place to go.
Correspondingly, Loy resumed trade with the coalition forces and began accepting their orders again.
Luo Yi even allocated a batch of extra guns and ammunition and sent them over without affecting other orders.
However, when the coalition's order actually came, Maruna came looking for it, not because it was too much, but because it was too little.
Yes, much less than Roy expected!
Moreover, what they need are processing machinery, meditation potions and the like, while the actual guns and ammunition required are pitifully few.
Although Luo Yi doesn't care much about the orders from the three giants of the coalition, he still needs to find out if someone is stealing his business.
Therefore, Roy mobilized all kinds of relationships, including but not limited to Ang's brotherhood, Grand Duchess Aphra and the old Freud family.
Even Baron Miller.
That's right, he suspected that someone inside the empire was trafficking arms.
This is different from what Roy did.
A company that is independent of the empire, has autonomy, and sells its own products cannot be blamed by anyone.
The other is outright treason.
As long as the news gets out, even if it was secretly instigated by Hohenzollern III, a group of people will be nailed to the pillar of shame and die.
But the problem is, after an investigation, there seems to be nothing wrong with the empire, and the internal loyalty is still high.
Hohenzollern III was the pinnacle of centralization. Even among the cabinet ministers, few dared to raise objections, and he could almost make all the decisions with just his word.
On the contrary, the intelligence organization inherited from the faceless killer Ulysses has reaped great rewards.
According to the news from the Kingdom of Sardinia, the ports on the west coast seem to have welcomed many ocean-going warships from the Glorious Empire. Except for some goods that are sold abroad, most of them are relatively mysterious.
Often when they arrived at the port, nobles would intervene, clear the area, and then transport the goods away.
Their actions were quite secretive, and even though there were some investigations, there was no accurate information at this stage, but it already gave Luo Yi an idea.
So, Roy called the Grand Duke of Carlisle again, and after a lot of coaxing and deception, he finally made this guy tell the truth.
That’s right, the coalition forces have already established contact with the Glorious Empire of the New World and even started ocean trade.
This incident actually happened not long ago, and it was the Glorious Empire that took the initiative to approach us.
They came here with a large number of guns, ammunition and magic cannons to do business, but they encountered the two armies and three giants who were in the midst of fierce fighting and in urgent need of arms. What else can be said?
Of course it was a perfect match!
However, the Glorious Empire is not a timely relief, and they came here for something.
Fast forward to the Age of Exploration, when hundreds of races retreated from the Old World and migrated to the New World, these empires in the Old World were not idle either.
For example, in the beginning, they used the New World as a prison and exiled a group of criminals, thieves, robbers and murderers.
Later, when they found it profitable, they sent legions to occupy the area. Over time, they also gained a large territory.
At this time, the Glorious Empire came, wanting to do business and make money, and also wanting to take back those territories.
Especially in the inland of the Glorious Empire, there are large territories that directly cut off the empire.
Now, they want to take back these lands legally while the three giants of the coalition are unable to take care of themselves.
To this end, they were willing to betray the Habsburg Empire and provide a large amount of magical weapons.
This matter was agreed to without much opposition within the coalition.
Although, they were reluctant to give up these enclaves, especially the Kingdom of Sardinia, the so-called "sun never sets" was because of these overseas colonies.
But in the current situation, of course we have to prioritize, so these colonies have to be sold.
As a result, the Glorious Empire gained a large amount of land and expanded its territory without bloodshed.
The coalition forces gained a considerable amount of arms and, most importantly, opened up new trade routes, alleviating the demand for ammunition.
Of course, this matter is still a secret now.
The reason is simple. The magic energy industry of the Glorious Empire was supported by the empire itself. It was even more generous than receiving flowers. It really involved manpower, money and effort.
Before, the Glorious Empire also followed the Empire's footsteps. If it were to be exposed now, it would be embarrassing.
Luo Yi got the accurate news, but he didn't think it was a big deal, and was even quite happy.
Because, compared to the Flower Territory, if the Empire really wants to pursue the matter, the first target should be the Glorious Empire, which can be regarded as sharing the firepower.
What about trade?
The Glorious Empire is too far away, and the sea routes are not stable. Those sea tribes are not vegetarians.
These are all risks, and in comparison, Flower Collar still has enough priority.
Therefore, after figuring out his business rivals, Luo Yi completely let it go and did not take any further action.
Soon after, in addition to handling government affairs, he spent more time in the library in Xianhualing.
He wanted to use Deep Blue Scan to record all the new information into the database.
Although Deep Blue does not have a clear level division, its ability is that the more and more complete the database is, the greater its impact will be.
For example, the optimization speed of the three new sacred skills has been significantly improved after the data has been entered.
Time passed quickly while I was scanning documents, and the entire month of April was gone.
The battlefield of Verdun has reached a stalemate, and the coalition forces finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, the protracted war also consumed all the magic tanks rented by Flower Territory.
However, the Empire demonstrated the strength of a veteran industrial power, digesting the technology in a short period of time and launching its own tanks.
They called it the Tiger, which was a slightly modified version of the first generation of the King of Land Warfare.
Then, they were pushed onto the battlefield.
In Xianhua County, the three divisions of the Imperial Guards also completed recruitment, equipment and preliminary training.
The three tank regiments have also completed their equipment replacement and are equipped with a full set of second-generation land warfare kings.
As for the third-generation King of Land Warfare, it is already under development. This time, Loy proposed improvement suggestions in three directions.
The first is the duration of the magic shield.
Of course, turning it on for a short time can play a certain role, but it is too demanding on the operation. In addition, the vision inside the tank is poor, so it is not easy to really play a big role.
Therefore, it is best to keep the magic shield turned on at all times.
This may seem like a tank problem, but in fact it is a research on the carrier of magic energy. We must find a better alternative than the magic pearl.
After a brief thought, Roy handed the task to the mechanical monster Nehemiah von Braun and the great alchemist Benito Freud.
The cooperation between modern mechanical wizards and classical alchemists will surely give him a satisfactory answer.
The second direction is short-range wireless communication.
After several battles, Loy discovered that the linkage and coordination between tanks was relatively poor.
Even if they occasionally use coordinated tactics, it is because of the good relationship between the tank commanders and the tacit understanding formed.
But what Luo Yi wants is not just tacit understanding, but to truly follow the instructions, so this short-range wireless communication technology is very necessary.
As for this project, it was of course led by Hill Douglas, the inventor of the magic walkie-talkie.
As for Luo Yi, he also provided some wireless technology.
Luo Yi didn't know much about this aspect. Even if there were some records in the Deep Blue database, he couldn't really understand them.
So, he only provided a principle and let Hill study it on his own.
Finally, there is the idea of infantry armored fighting vehicles.
How can modern infantrymen not travel on foot?!
It's not just a matter of speed, it also consumes too much physical energy and makes it impossible to engage in battle immediately.
The magic heavy truck can be used as a troop transport vehicle, but its defense is extremely poor and it has almost no resistance to attacks.
If it was an artillery attack, one shot might kill an entire carload of people.
Therefore, tanks with high defense, high mobility, and the ability to transport troops came into being.
Lilia is well-deserved for this task. Luo Yi provided an idea, which is to weaken the offensive capability and increase the internal space based on the tank.
By the time these plans were put into place, it was late April of the 316th year of the New Divine Calendar, and Luo Yi felt that the time was ripe.
Thus, a letter was sent and arrived at the Griffin Town in the Dome Mountains.
Just one night later, several streaks of blood-red light streaked across the sky and stopped outside the city of Brussels.
Then, there were special people waiting there, leading them through the streets and alleys, and finally to the Lion Manor.
