Tanks in Section 263

"Master, the latest situation..." Marvin lets the Frisbee fly low, and concentrates his will into the words of the magic wind, "Their entire army may gather in Newestria..."

At this moment, someone from afar sent the latest military information to the wizard lord's mind through the magical wind.

"Neustria? Well... it's a very suitable position." Marvin whispered to himself in his mind. "Where is the military strength?"

"The detailed situation is not yet understood, but... according to the current calculation, after the assembly, the total force may reach 100,000..."

"Learn how many soldiers they have, how many infantry, how many cavalry, how many cannons, how many musketeers, how many materials are... Let me know everything!" Marvin issued this order to his distant subordinates through the link of magic.

This is not an easy order to execute, because the repeated failures of being betrayed by traitors have greatly increased their vigilance in this regard. Although the southerners are stupid, no matter how stupid people are, they will learn their lessons if they are deceived more often. However, Marvin needs to try his best to squeeze out the potential of his subordinates - Chaos is not a kind master.

"Yes...master." Through the wind of magic, Marvin could vaguely feel the other party's panic. Perhaps this is an extremely challenging task, but this is the essence of chaos. People who fail and are not good must be eliminated in strict tests. Only those real people are qualified to be favored by the gods.

This is the last sentence of this magical communication. Marvin closed the link to this magical wind in consciousness because another subordinate's report came over. This situation is not common.

"Master, I just got the latest emergency information..." The link to Magic Wind is not very smooth. From this point, we can see that the other party's magic attainment level is very limited. It should be those low-powered people who must match magical items to conduct magic communication - under normal circumstances, this kind of waste is not qualified to be favored by Tseki, but it is precisely because of their low magical abilities that they can lurk and be extremely difficult to discover, thus becoming qualified spies.

“…They created a secret weapon…”

The word "secret weapon?" aroused Marvin's interest. "What's going on?"

...

"Is this a secret weapon?" Ashu Rufat looked at the huge steel machine in front of him. It looked more like a small fortress made of steel. Only the conspicuous steam engine chimney behind (and the two huge wheels connected to the steam engine) shows that this thing is a war weapon.

"Yes, yes!" The engineer was very excited and pointed at the weapon. "We finally completed this great initiative by importing advanced steam engines from the dwarves. Lord Earl, is it very beautiful?"

Because of the lack of paint, this war machine looks like a metallic silvery white. It is not a question of being beautiful, but it can give people a clear sense of oppression.

However, although the engineer put the title of "Great Innovation" on his invention, at least the principle of this thing is very clear. It is a four-wheeled heavy chariot equipped with cannons and covered with thick iron shells. Of course, this chariot does not rely on livestock to drag, but on the huge power provided by the steam engine.

"I decided to name it 'tank'." The engineer said with a passionate expression. "It will become the pride who dominates the battlefield. Hey, you guys, let me demonstrate to the Count."

Several assistants started immediately. It didn't take too long to see the steam tank rumbling. Well, the speed was OK - although it might be weak in terms of terrain adaptation and was far less flexible than war horses, if there was such a suitable terrain, the huge steel tank rushed directly to the dense infantry battleship...

That should not be a force that flesh and blood can resist.

The tank stopped, and accompanied by a cannon, a ball of flame emerged from the cannon on the front. Then, several other large-caliber muskets on the top also opened fire. Although it was empty bullets, the scene was also quite spectacular.

"The firepower is also very strong, isn't it?" the respectable engineer said in an intoxicating tone.

Time is too long, Ashu Rufat thought to himself. Berel left two days ago, but as a general, he had to stay in the barracks to evaluate the new weapon. "Has it been experimented with?"

"Many experiments, yourselves!" When the engineer said these words, he seemed a little unconfidence. "It will definitely go to the battlefield."

"'Certainly'?" Ashu Rufat felt that this statement sounded a bit unreliable, but judging from the demonstration just now, it is indeed of great value on the battlefield. As we all know, a major advantage of Chaos is its powerful heavy-armed troops, and this thing should look like the nemesis of flesh and blood. "How much of this thing have you made now..."

"It's called a tank!"

"Okay, then tanks, how many have you made now?"

"Three, sir!" the engineer immediately added. "But as long as there is a need and the corresponding materials, I can assemble them in the battlefield. If the materials and manpower are sufficient, I can build one in three days."

"Very good!" Ashu Rufate felt that he had no more time to deal with this new weapon. With the central coordination of the church, the coalition forces did not lack weapons this time. Although other countries were unable to arrange troops and funds to assist for various reasons, at least they also provided some support - support in weapons. For example, the Ryans were willing to sell their most outstanding war equipment, the Wind-Boat guns, to Groone, for a reasonable price. However, Ashu Rufate felt that this was because this cannon, which was regarded as a "secret weapon" by the Ryans, was far from as good as people had expected, and performed mediocrely in actual combat. It was true that its firepower was ten times stronger than that of ordinary cannons, but it had a chance of blowing up the chamber ten times more than that of ordinary cannons.

"Okay, Mr. Engineer, then I look forward to seeing your tank in Niustria." Ashu Rufat looked at the excited face of the other party. "I will provide you with a letter, and you can take it to the logistics officer. I confirm that this new invention meets the expectations of the Wang family and you can get a bounty related to the Royal Academy of the Eagle City. In addition, if your tank performs well in this war, I will definitely convince Her Majesty the Queen to buy such new equipment in large quantities."

"A great honor, General."

The engineer and his tank left, and now Asu Ruffat returned to the center of the barracks. At this time, the barracks had become quite empty. After three days of rest in the barracks, the troops from Fornoros had set off to the northern front. The troops from various routes would advance in different directions and finally gathered in the city of Niustria.

"Is the legion already gathered?" Ashu Rufate asked the adjutant beside him while picking up paper and pen from the table. Now, he had only one last thing left, which was to write a farewell letter to the queen before leaving.

"It's ready. General Baranka came to news not long ago that Niustria is ready."

"How is the situation there in Rafa?"

"According to General Baranka, General Rafah's situation is not optimistic and he can no longer be in charge of the board of directors... Before he arrived, he was General Rafah's son, and Baron Pari was in charge of specific affairs. General Baranka successfully took over all the troops in the name of the queen."

"Pari..." Ashu Rufat asked. The name is not very familiar, "I remember that it was circulating in the Hawk City before... It seems that this Pari has a great hope to become Her Majesty's husband?"

"It's him. He is young, but he is said to be outstanding in talent." The adjutant replied cautiously. There are more and more rumors about the queen in the Hawk City. Many people say that the Earl of Ashu Rufat has great hope of becoming the queen's husband. Some people even say that Ashu Rufat has a long time ago.

"Well, I understand." Ashu Rufate asked while writing. "Is there any news in the city in the past two or three days?"

...

In the temporary palace, in the little queen's dormitory, Rotia and the little girl sat next to the table. The table was filled with high-quality tea leaves sent by others, and the fragrance was particularly attractive. However, the tea was still very hot at this time, so the two of them were just enjoying the ups and downs of the tea leaves in the glassware.

"Is there any news in the city these two or three days?" the little girl asked.

"Nothing special." Rotia stammered.

God knows what happened, and now there are two new rumors in the city. One is about the Queen and Ashurufate, and the other is about Rotia and Beller. And what was worse earlier is that Rotia knew very well about this - these two rumors were not lies.

"Scadra has officially asked me to move back to the palace." The little girl sighed for some reason and said.

"He is very smart and knows that financial issues may be very nervous after a while," Rotia replied. "So take advantage of the opportunity of relaxation and get the relevant budget."

"Someone told me that Scadra has been very active recently, and it seems that she will meet someone every few days..." The little girl glanced at Rotia and said. Rotia was once a good source of information for her. With her help, she could get out of ignorance of the inside and outside the palace from the beginning and become comfortable now. However, Rotia's news channels are still somewhat biased after all, such as some activities in the noble area, and there are also some second-hand and third-hand news.

"Do you have... doubts about Scadra?" Rotia smiled. "Don't worry, he is really a trustworthy..."

"No, it's not a matter of trust, but...well, he seems to be doing the same thing as us."

Only Rotia could understand the meaning of this sentence. She was silent for a few minutes.

"Scadra is his, we are ours. Her Majesty, as I said, everything should be in my own hands."

"What should we do?" asked the little girl. Now, the national affairs have finally come to an end, and she can take time to do her own private affairs.

"In order, it's easy to start and then difficult." Rotia thought about it carefully, and it was obvious that she had already made a decision about it. "The first goal should temporarily avoid the most troublesome and dangerous old woman. I suggest you can start with Shirley."

"Sherley? But she...well, what kind of thinking should she use?" asked the little girl.

"The idea is very simple. Ashu Rufate has two bonds with her. One is that she was sold to Ashu Rufate for a crime, which is the so-called female slave. The other is the Xianghai Chamber of Commerce, which sells tobacco... It is the Chamber of Commerce invested by Ashu Rufate. Grasping these two points should be able to solve this problem."
