Magic Industry Empire - 1085. Chapter 1085
In the early morning of June 28, a large cargo magic locomotive drove quickly across a plain on the northern border of the Ruelson Kingdom, and then slowly stopped on a flat ground outside the valley ahead.
Romon Regel, commander of the San Joan’s Legion, one of the ten elite regiments of the Candela Empire, jumped from the co-pilot position of a large cargo magic locomotive in the middle, rubbed his butt habitually, but found his own He didn’t feel any soreness at all in his butt, so he couldn’t help turning his head and glanced at the soft cotton pad in the co-pilot’s seat, and curled his mouth.
“Sure enough, it’s much more comfortable to sit on this thing, but the poor old guys don’t even want to admit this fact. It’s really sad.”
After a mutter, Regal waved his hand and called in an adjutant.
“Send scouts to investigate the situation in the valley ahead and make sure that there is no ambush.”
The lieutenant led the way, and after a while, a squad of scouts rode past.
Although the two previous defeats during the battle with the Ruelson Kingdom have caused the Candela Empire military to begin to reflect on itself, and pay more attention to the military magic machinery that most people have dismissed before, the Candela Empire Army The traditional forces of the Ministry are extremely deep, and all the armaments are closely related to the interests of many people. There is a lot of pressure to reform the system. Therefore, the army has always been a troublesome issue.
Moreover, the number of the subordinates of the Candela Empire Military Headquarters was more than 500,000 in the regular army. It would be impossible to completely change their outfits at once.
In addition, the production capacity of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has been insufficient, and the control on the sale of military magic machinery has also been very strict. Therefore, the Candela Empire Military Department has not been able to purchase enough military magic machinery to equip its major army groups.
In recent years, after acquiring some military magic machinery related technologies from the New Flying Business Association, the Candela Empire has embarked on the road of self-development. It has indeed successfully developed a military magic machine based on the military magic machinery sold by the New Flying Business Association. The series of military magic machinery has entered the stage of large-scale mass production.
With these things, the Candela Empire has the confidence to turn face with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
But this is still far from meeting the huge needs of the major legions under the military headquarters, so that the major legions within the Candela Empire have shown a strange state, that is, traditional bows, swords, guns, war horses, carriages, etc., and The new types of military magic machinery and large freight magic locomotives and other magic machinery are mixed together, which looks very chaotic.
This is also no way. The military department can’t meet the requirements of all the corps at all, so it can only be allocated a little according to the situation.
“Hey, only the idiot of Antusol will keep holding on to old ideas and refuse to change. As a result, he is dead now with no bones left…”
Thinking of this, a scornful smile crossed the corner of Regal’s mouth.
In the military headquarters of the Candela Empire, there are actually many people like Count Antusol who refuse to accept new things and still adhere to the previous concept of war. Those who are willing to accept changes like Regal call it the old school, and they are It is a new school.
Prior to this, the contrast between the old faction and the new faction in the military headquarters was that the old faction had a slight advantage.
But this time after the Glory Legion led by Count Antusol was almost completely annihilated, the old faction instantly lost its voice. The new faction quickly controlled the voice of the military headquarters. This time, the new faction was sent out to attack the Kingdom of Ruelson. Occupies the vast majority.
Regal is the most active of the new faction. This time he took the initiative to invite the military headquarters and led his St. Joan’s Army as the main force of the Third Front Army to invade from the north of the Ruelson Kingdom to the Ruelson Kingdom.
If it is a traditional old-school general, although it will be vigilant in places such as valleys like now, and send scouts to detect whether there is an ambush, but they will never be as careful as Regal, and they are still far away from the valley. Send out scouts more than two kilometers away.
If the old-school generals knew it, I’m afraid they would laugh at Regal for being too timid.
However, Regal knew very well that the distance he chose was not at all because he was timid, but because he knew very well that the army of the Ruelson Kingdom was equipped with a large number of magic artillery.
The attack distance of the magic artillery can easily exceed two kilometers, or even three kilometers away.
Even at this distance, it is not 100% safe.
So in order to make sure there are no problems, Regal must be more careful.
Watching from a distance as the scout teams climbed up the cliffs on both sides of the valley, Regal couldn’t help shook his head and cursed.
“Damn, those petty guys in the military department, why are they reluctant to buy some magic airships? If I have dozens of them now…oh no, even if there is only one magic airship. Then just send the magic airships over. Just take a look, and wherever it needs to be so troublesome, send a scout over…”
Regel suddenly turned his head to look at the center of the army, where a magnificent carriage stood conspicuously surrounded by a group of soldiers, looking very abrupt.
In the carriage, is the leader of the army entourage of the Saint Joan Army, the Yale Grand Mage who possesses the strength of the fourth-level Grand Mage.
Regel hesitated, and walked quickly to the carriage.
“Your Excellency Yale, can you please do it?” Regal asked respectfully into the carriage.
Although he is the commander of the San Joan Army, the magician system has always been independent of the military system and is not under the jurisdiction of the military generals.
What’s more, the Yale Grand Sorcerer is a Level 4 Grand Sorcerer, one of the top magicians in the Candela Empire except for the nine Grand Sorcerers, and his status is much higher than that of Regal, the commander of the army.
The carriage curtain was lifted, revealing the wrinkled face of the Yale Wizard.
“Shoot?” The Yale Magician frowned slightly, looking puzzled. “I haven’t encountered an enemy yet, what do you want me to do?”
Regal smiled and explained: “That’s it, Your Excellency the Great Mage, I’m worried that the enemy will set up an ambush in front of you, and there may be magic traps in it, so I hope you can conduct a magic detection and look at the valley ahead. Are there any magic traps in it.”
The Yale Wizard leaned out of the carriage, glanced at the valley in the distance, and frowned again.
“Didn’t you send a scout over.”
“The scouts can only see if anyone is in ambush, but they can’t find magical traps.” Regal shook his head.
“I don’t need to go there myself, right?” The Yale Grand Mage waved his hand impatiently, glanced back, and flicked his finger, a fiery red light shot out and landed behind the array and another car with a general appearance. Above the carriage.
After a while, a young magician in his thirties who was wearing a magic robe flew over.
“Master Yale, do you have any instructions?” The young magician asked the Yale Grand Magician very respectfully.
The Yale Grand Sorcerer pointed to the valley in the distance: “Go and see if there are any magic traps in it. Our Legion Commander is not so relieved.”
Regal’s face changed slightly, but then he nodded and said to the young magician: “Yes. In addition, I also hope you can explore the situation around the valley. Do you understand what I mean?”
Regal didn’t need to be so polite to this young magician who was only a seventh-level magician.
Naturally, the young magician couldn’t refuse like the Yale magician, and after a response, he flew to the valley.
“Legion Commander, I understand your caution, but is your current behavior a bit too cautious?” The Yale Grand Mage suddenly said.
Regal cursed in his heart, but there was still a smile on his face, and he replied: “Above the army, there is always nothing wrong with being careful.”
The Yale Mage shook his head: “You really are not as aggressive as other soldiers I have seen, they…”
“boom–”
A violent explosion suddenly sounded from a distance, thinking about the words of the Yale Grand Mage.
The two of them changed their expressions together, looking towards the direction from which the explosion sounded, but saw a cloud of smoke and dust in the distant valley rising slowly with the light of the fire, it looked like they had just experienced an explosion.
“This…” The Yale Magician’s face was a bit ugly.
He was just accusing Regal of being too cautious, and now there was an explosion in the valley, which was literally hitting him in the face.
Regal didn’t have time to pay attention to the thoughts in the heart of the Yale Grand Mage at this time. He took a closer look at the distant valley, his expression changed drastically.
After the explosion, huge boulders fell continuously on the cliffs on both sides of the valley, and the sound of rumbling was endless. From time to time, there were several consecutive explosions, causing more boulders to fall.
In the blink of an eye, the road in the valley that was originally nearly ten meters wide was filled with countless boulders, completely blocking the way.
“Yale Magician, I am afraid I really want to ask you to take action this time.” Regal smiled bitterly.
“Huh?” The Yale Mage didn’t dare to refuse directly this time, but raised his eyebrows to indicate.
“Except for your own action, I don’t think anyone has the ability to clear a path from there. And… I’m worried about whether there are other traps inside.”
The Yale Grand Sorcerer glanced at the situation in the valley and nodded silently.
The place where they are going is bet by a mountain range, and there is only this valley within 50 kilometers nearby that can pass through. If you don’t go from here, you can take a detour. At least it will take a few more hours, which will seriously delay the opportunity. .
And if you want to clear a path from the collapsed valley, an ordinary magician certainly can’t do it, and he is the only great magician.
“Well, I’ll go and see the situation first. If you find that there are no traps, you can send some people over. I need someone to help clean up the debris.”
“good.”
The Yale Grand Mage confessed, and he shook his body and flew into the air, flying to the distant valley at great speed.
Just halfway through the flight, a few fiery red rays of light cut through the sky at the same time on the left and right, and flew towards the direction of the Saint Joan’s Legion.
