Medasilin.

The Lord of Light almost jumped up on the spot.

"Waste~~What a bunch of waste!"

Six people can't beat one person. What Nahuat Mage, what Son of Dritan, they are all a bunch of trash! It seems that the legendary mage's beheading tactic is no longer applicable. The only way to decide who is better is on the battlefield.

He immediately called his granddaughter Zhuoya.

"Let the Glorious First Fleet enter the Gilded Strait and cut off all trade routes between Aaron and Weilan. If we encounter the Weilan fleet, teach them a lesson!"

This time, Zhuoya did not obey completely.

She suggested carefully: "Grandfather, intelligence says that the Weilan fleet has some very powerful new weapons, the performance of which we do not understand."

"I suggest that we use the vanguard to explore the strength of the Weilan fleet first. Once we have the intelligence, we can formulate the next tactic."

The Lord of Light also felt that he had been impulsive before, and thought that what his granddaughter said made sense, but he had a rage in his heart that he had to vent.

"Why? We invest so much money in weapons research and development every year. Our fleet has just as many new weapons as Veran's. Shouldn't Veran be afraid of us?"

Zhuo Ya thought to herself, "What are you talking about? We are the invading party. We have to fight them whether they are afraid or not. Are we going to surrender directly?"

One is going far away to find trouble, the other is defending his country, the morale of the soldiers is very different.

But of course she couldn't say this, otherwise her grandfather would take the opportunity to vent his anger on her.

So she explained carefully: "Grandfather, we are just trying to minimize the losses. After all, new warships and new weapons are very expensive and slow to build."

The Lord of Light waved his hand impatiently.

"Alright, alright, no matter what method you use, you must stop Duke Weilan from settling in Aaron!"

Zhuoya also wanted to have a confrontation with the Weilan fleet to find out what new things the other side had developed, so she began to prepare seriously.

She was very cautious because Weilan had an absolute advantage in legendary power.

Although Legendary Power is not an invincible force when facing an army, it should never be underestimated.

Any misjudgment may allow the opponent to seize the opportunity and deal a heavy blow to the Glorious Fleet.

While preparing, she secretly contacted Duke Weilan through the secret channel between her and Irene.

You have to fight if you can.

Regardless of the grandfather's will or the strategy of the Glorious Empire, they must do their best to prevent the unification of the Natural Alliance.

But we must never be confused and fight like a country farmer.

So, she had to contact the other party and take control of the situation.

In order to avoid being stuck in the quagmire and being taken advantage of by the Holy Elf Empire.

Upon receiving the news from Queen Zoya, Duke Rosen immediately passed the relevant information to Rosen himself, who was far away in Aaron, through the channel of faith.

After reading the news, Rosen felt secretly relieved.

"Fortunately, we have the Queen as a buffer, otherwise we would have to fight a big battle with the Glorious Empire."

Once a war starts, it cannot be stopped easily.

But due to the huge gap in national strength between the two sides, Rosen was not sure of winning.

Perhaps his weapons are more advanced than those of the Glorious Empire, but his weapons production capacity is far inferior to that of the other side.

Even if the casualty ratio on the battlefield is one to five, it is a victory tactically but a failure strategically.

Whether from the strategic perspective of the entire human race or the strategic perspective of the Natural Alliance, it was a failure.

For the human race, the fierce internal friction between the two countries benefited the elves and demons.

For the Natural Alliance, the battlefield is within the alliance, and the alliance will suffer no matter how they fight.

Therefore, at this point in time, if we can avoid fighting, we should do so.

After careful consideration, he sent back the message.

"I, Weilan, have come up with something interesting recently. I'll show you a trick from a distance."

"If you can catch it, then go ahead. If you think my thing is a little too powerful and you're not sure you can catch it, then withdraw the Glorious Fleet and let me take over Aaron."

"How about it?"

Soon, the queen replied: "Show me."

Then let’s have fun.

Duke Rosen wrote a new weapon test plan called "Operation Sword". After the plan was passed down through layers of authority, it arrived at the Weilan Admiralty that afternoon.

The Navy currently has three fleets, each with 35 warships.

The supreme commander of the First Fleet is Jopp, who was born in Shire County and his current rank is lieutenant general.

He looked at the test plan and grinned: "The sword that has been hidden for so long is finally going to be unsheathed."

But it's still a bit regrettable.

Because this time he just drew the sword and gestured in the air, he didn't really poke the opponent.

He sent a warship and a target ship to the designated waters of the Gilded Strait.

The Gilded Strait is not wide, and at about nine o'clock the next morning, the warships and target ships arrived at their destination.

The battleship is at the rear, in complete stealth.

The target ship is in front, also in a highly stealthy state, but it deliberately shows some observable traces.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that the simulation is of a glorious battleship.

At the same time, an observation ship from the Glorious Fleet arrived at the sea area where the target ship was located.

The mages on the observation ship took off the unmanned rotorcraft for observation early and locked the observation target on the target ship in the distance.

The weather was fine that day, with light clouds and breeze, and visibility on the sea was very high.

But what was strange was that, apart from the target ship, the Glorious Mages did not see any attacking warships on the sea.

The captain of the observation ship guessed that Weilan's attack warship should have entered complete stealth mode, but he still didn't quite believe it, because the stealth was too perfect, even more perfect than their Glorious warship.

"Keep looking, we must find the Weilan battleship!"

This matter is very important, even the most important, because it concerns the initiative on the battlefield.

The glorious mages continued to search.

Not only has the search density increased, but the search range has also been expanded.

As a result, no trace of the Weilan warship was found.

If this happened on a real battlefield, it would be a nightmare.

The observing captain immediately reported the situation to the naval marshal of the Glorious First Fleet.

"Marshal, we didn't see the Weilan warship on the sea. We looked all over the 30-kilometer sea area nearby, but there was nothing. Is the intelligence wrong?"

A quarter of an hour later, the Admiral's staff sent back a message: "No mistake, wait another half an hour."

The relationship between superiors and subordinates in the Glorious Fleet is very strict. Since the superior said so, the captain can only wait.

Time passed by minute by minute, and about half an hour later, the glorious mages finally made a discovery.

"Report to the General, there is an unusual light and shadow on the sea surface. It is confirmed to be the Weilan warship. The bearing is 30 degrees east by north, and it is 80 kilometers away from the target ship."

Just after the report was made, there was a new discovery.

"We have lost the trace of the Weilan warship again, and we can't even find any waves on the sea. We highly suspect that the warship is slowing down or even stopped."

When the Black Stone warship moves on the sea, waves will definitely appear. The faster it moves, the bigger the waves will be. Currently, there is almost no way to completely suppress the waves.

This is the latest sailing knowledge.

Immediately afterwards, the observing mage reported again.

"A high-speed flying object was spotted in the sky. It was moving at an extremely fast speed, estimated to be 300 meters per second, almost twice the speed of our fastest aircraft."

"The target is invisible. We can't see its specific shape. We estimate its size is less than one-fifth of our fighter plane. We can't detect any mana fluctuations. It should be an unmanned aircraft."

"It was flying over the sea at an altitude of less than 100 meters, and the sea mist obscured most of the target's power fluctuations."

“It’s so fast!”

The observing captain immediately issued an order: "Judgment Array, conduct a simulated attack!"

This is the latest Judgment Array, which not only improves the problem of back-light strike, but also greatly increases the power and locking ability.

Weak tentative beams of light continuously rushed towards the high-speed flying objects on the sea, carrying out simulated attacks.

The Radiant Mage immediately reported the interception effect.

"The target's speed remains unchanged, but its flight trajectory changes suddenly from a straight line to a spiral."

"The trajectory is too complicated. The Judgment Array cannot lock onto it. The effective attack time is seriously insufficient, making it difficult to cause a devastating blow to the target."

The captain's heartbeat quickened as he observed: "It's flying so fast and can even spiral forward. Aren't you afraid of it disintegrating?"

If this was a manned aircraft spiraling at such a small angle, the pilot in the cockpit would definitely be knocked unconscious.

The Radiant Mages did not respond and continued to report the situation at high speed.

"It went towards the target ship and it blew up!"

"It's extremely powerful!"

"The target ship's stealth effect has failed. It is 50 meters long and its hull has been specially reinforced. It is much thicker than an ordinary warship."

"A huge hole was blown out on the side of the ship. You can see that the ship's planking is very thick, twice as thick as our warships. Its defense is definitely higher than our warships."

"Oh no, the target ship is going to sink!"

Observation information was continuously reported, causing the captain of the observation ship to sweat on his forehead.

He put himself in the position of the target ship and drew a preliminary conclusion.

"If the enemy is equipped with a large number of high-speed explosive aircraft, it will cause a devastating blow to our fleet."

After careful analysis, a second conclusion was drawn.

"If more than three high-speed aircraft attack our warships at the same time, they will be able to break through our air defenses and threaten the safety of the ships."

"If there are more than six, the battleship will almost certainly be sunk."

Taking into account the nearly perfect stealth capability of the enemy warship, it is destined that the enemy will have a high probability of getting the opportunity to attack first.

At present, the Glorious First Fleet has 150 new Black Stone warships. As long as the enemy is equipped with 900 of these unmanned inflammable aircraft, it is possible to sink all of their warships.

If the enemy is lying in ambush carefully, you will have almost no chance to fight back!

The more he thought about it, the faster the captain's heart beat and the more cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

He immediately reported the intelligence he observed to the Admiral, who immediately reported it to the Queen.

Later, the Queen received the military report.

She was also greatly surprised and immediately summoned weapon research mages from the major weapon research bureaus of the empire to begin discussing countermeasures.

These mages are all top talents in the empire.

As soon as he saw the content of the report, his eyes lit up but his brows frowned.

After half a day of discussion, we reached a preliminary conclusion.

Finally, an old wizard with a calm expression reported the conclusion to Queen Zoya.

"Your Majesty, the new weapon that Duke Weilan showed is not difficult to implement in terms of magic. Give us a year, and we should be able to come up with a similar weapon."

"But at the moment, we have no such weapons and no reliable countermeasures."

"I suggest not to start a war rashly, otherwise our fleet will suffer heavy losses."

If Weilan was the only enemy, they would have to fight even if it meant suffering heavy losses, but there was still a huge elven empire behind them.

Zhuo Ya asked, "So what do you think the approximate cost of this unmanned explosive aircraft is?"

"It is definitely much cheaper than our fighter jets. There are three reasons for this."

"First, it is small enough. Second, it is unmanned, so the cockpit is omitted. Third, it is a disposable product, so cheap disposable materials can be used."

"We estimate that its manufacturing price should be one-tenth of our current main streamer aircraft, or even less."

"Considering Weilan's current magical industrial capacity, the other party may have built more than 1,000 of them, and this is definitely not the other party's strongest unmanned explosive fighter."

"That is to say, in this new field of weapons, we have fallen far behind the Natural Alliance."

Zhuo Ya frowned slightly: "Do you have any countermeasures?"

Of course there is a solution.

The old wizard immediately gave advice.

"First, we also need to make this kind of unmanned explosive aircraft, and we have to build it quickly."

"Second, we have to greatly strengthen the air defense devices on warships and land. Not only must we strengthen the attack devices, but we must also develop stronger detection devices to deal with Weilan's invisibility ability."

"Third, I think this type of unmanned incendiary aircraft will become the mainstream attack on future battlefields. The current incendiary cannons are outdated and not worth mass-producing."

Zhuoya felt her heart bleeding, because the explosive cannon had just been equipped, and many cannon factories had been expanded, which cost her a lot of money. Now it was facing the risk of being eliminated before it was even used much.

She was a little unwilling: "This unmanned explosive aircraft may be very powerful, but there must be a wizard behind it remotely controlling it. If a targeted power storm is triggered on the battlefield, it should be enough to render it ineffective, right?"

The old wizard nodded: "It is indeed possible, but judging from its remote control distance, it is at least greater than 80 kilometers."

"This shows that the other party is not using telekinesis, but an unknown remote control method. We currently don't know how to interfere with it."

"In addition, there is even a possibility that these unmanned explosive aircraft are actually semi-independent attack puppets, and there may not be a wizard behind them who is controlling them in real time."

"Attack the puppet?"

"Yes." The old wizard nodded.

"There is evidence that Duke Weilan's ancestor was a fallen Iron Dragon Clan. The Iron Dragon he created is a powerful combat puppet."

"There is also a lot of evidence that Duke Weilan is also extremely proficient in puppetry. Therefore, it is very likely that he created a flying puppet."

"And if it is a semi-independent flying puppet, as long as the spell shielding is done well, it will have a very strong interference ability."

Zhuoya suddenly felt that the situation was very tricky.

The situation was obvious. Not only was it impossible to fight a naval battle with Weilan, they also had to quickly formulate a countermeasure.

Considering the limited range of aircraft, especially unmanned inflammable aircraft, they certainly cannot fly far, so there is no need to worry about the security of the empire being threatened by this thing for the time being.

But this is only temporary, because Duke Weilan will definitely make great efforts to improve the new weapons.

Therefore, corresponding air defense weapons must be developed vigorously, otherwise it will be difficult to even sleep peacefully.

The emergence of this new battlefield weapon also brought about a direct impact, that is, the Empire was temporarily unable to interfere with the Natural Alliance on the battlefield.

It was a foregone conclusion that Duke Weilan would take over Aaron.

Zhuoya was in a very complicated mood.

Reluctance, admiration, and a hint of fear.

Because Duke Weilan had just defeated six legendary wizards by himself, and even killed a level 4 demon in the hidden void! She was also a legendary wizard now, but it was still difficult for her to understand the other party's methods.

I just can't understand how the other party did it.

Of course, it’s not completely incomprehensible.

She guessed that the other party might have found a way to synthesize large-capacity legendary crystals.

But this guess is not good either, because the uses of legendary crystals are so great, and the Empire is almost completely crushed by the Natural Alliance in this field.

Amidst all these mixed emotions, she reported the news to her grandfather.

"Grandfather, I can't fight you right now."

"Waste!" Grandfather roared in disgrace.

I don't know who he was scolding, but it made Zhuo Ya feel uncomfortable. She couldn't help but secretly said, "Grandfather, you are so happy to talk, but we have all run around for this."

Of course he didn't say it, and continued to stand there with a submissive expression.

After a long time, the Lord of Light finally came to his senses: "It seems that we must cooperate more deeply with the Holy Elf Empire to deal with the Natural Alliance together."

Zhuoya remained respectful: "Yes, Grandfather."

But he secretly thought in his heart: "Grandfather, if you do this, we will be cut off from the human race."

"I will never listen to you on this matter, and I will do my best to stop you!"

She has not yet completely taken control of the situation in the empire, so she will not take any action, but once the time is right, she will not hesitate.
