Chapter 54: The Secret
The main palace of Transvania, the Chamber of Parliament
Like the Cabinet Hall of the Empire itself, the two civil and military seats surround the oval table, which guards the most noble middle chair, which is the seat of the master, the ruler of Transvania, the commander of the Near East Army, and the kings of all the Corsalans: the crown prince Baron, His Royal Highness of Britannia. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
And now, His Highness sat alone in this dark council room, playing with the gadget in his hand, the red crystal that exuded a powerful magic, and it was amazing that its magic did not alarm anyone.
"Your Highness, what are you waiting for? The great gods have promised you that our enemies will be destroyed and that your throne will be exalted among all beings. ”
"You're talking more and more nonsense......"
“……”
"The Norman moths are in action, the despicable Thrans think they'll be safe if they swallow the South, and the unkillable Kolsalan bugs are still running unscrupulous, what do you think I'm hesitating about?"
"None of this is a problem, as long as you can complete the ritual, the Emperor will grant you an infinite number of troops, enough to flood the entire world!"
"And then I became the last wretched worm, giving everything for that bone that rolled out of nowhere, and it was boring and boring."
“…… I'll take that if I don't hear it, there's no way back, Baron, Britannia. ”
The red crystals gradually dimmed, and the crown prince was the only one sitting in his chair in contemplation.
There was a knock at the door of the council hall, and an attendant walked in, "Your Highness, Princess Josephine would like to speak with you. ”
"Let her come over, I also have something I want to talk to my sister about."
"Good, Your Highness."
The squire withdrew, and soon Josephine, dressed in formal attire, appeared in front of Baron, and the imperceptible magic in the air was immediately captured by her, and she quietly took a breath, recalling the words of Lorraine and the Demon King.
"Convince the crown prince that we must retain our living strength, and we still have a chance to defeat everyone." These are Lorraine's exact words
"Tell your brother not to go overboard, those who cooperate with the undead don't end well." These are the words of Ulysses, the demon king of the north.
She didn't know what her boyfriend and the legendary demon king had investigated, but as a knight, she was keenly aware that there were many strange soldiers in the Near East Army, with special magical powers, who didn't look like normal people at all.
Moreover, the elder brother also transferred a large amount of money from the remaining treasury, but no one knew where it went, even Josephine threatened those officials of the logistics department, "Your Highness, I really don't know, even if you torture the soul, I can't tell!" These were the words of the official, and the scorching curse could still be detected in the other party's eyes, and it was difficult for Josephine to imagine what his brother was doing by even applying a spell of that level to the official for the sake of secrecy.
"I have seen my brother, may you always be in good health."
"My sister has never been so gentle, what do you want to ask today?"
Baron's straight question surprised Josephine a little, "It's just...... I want to talk to my brother about why there hasn't been a mobilization yet. ”
"The army has already begun to mobilize, don't you know?"
"But the materials and funds are insufficient, and I have checked the training of the soldiers, but it is completely not up to the original standards of the Near Eastern Army, and ...... You also transferred an unknown amount of money...... What exactly do you want to do? ”
There was a hint of surprise in Baron's eyes, he didn't expect that his knight sister could think so far and be able to put down her body to collect information herself, which was very gratifying to him.
"It's good that you can find out the information yourself, Josephine, your worries are unnecessary, I will raise the problem of soldier training with the people below, someone will be responsible for the shortage of materials and funds, I think the citizens of Transvania will be happy to pay another tax."
"As for the funds you can't find out, I think you're qualified to know now, follow me."
Josephine hurriedly followed her eldest brother and came to a room through the secret door of the council hall, in which only a crystal ball was placed, "Glory belongs to Brittany." The prince pressed one hand into the crystal ball and shouted a secret word.
"Confirmed, do you want to teleport?"
"Wait a minute, Josephine will come over and put her hand on it."
Josephine stretched out her left hand in confusion, "Breton blood detected." The crystal ball spoke again, "Log in as the second manager." "Understood, confirmed as the second manager."
"Very well, teleport."
A burst of blue light enveloped the two of them, and the next second they teleported to a brightly lit factory. Hundreds of workers and golems are busy, a lot of supplies are piling up here, and countless special materials are being consumed in large quantities, all for the behemoth in the middle.
"It's ...... Secret factory, what is this building? ”
"A powerful weapon to save life, a toy you absolutely know, because—" Baron smiled for the first time, and the crown prince pulled his sister to stand on a high place, looking down at everything in the factory, and he pointed to the thing in the middle, "That's your boyfriend's new weapon, the airship." ”
Yes, this expensive factory is actually building an airship, and it is not the kind of first generation rough version of the tattered goods, with magic materials as the main body, the best magic machinery as the power source, the essence of the modern magic circle is gathered in one, the ascension limit reaches 10,000 meters, and it can also run a terrifying speed of forty knots on the water, this is Baron's big toy: HMS "Skyfire".
"Equipped with 40 newly improved rapid-fire guns, two twin 250-millimeter cannons, a fully demonized metal hull, a cabin that can carry up to 6,000 people, and a professional air combat attack platform, it can bear the combat needs of 12 air cavalry or 24 gyroplanes, which is really an unimaginable project."
"Big brother, you...... It's really powerful, the cannon of the giant ship can still carry the air force, but it seems that the Skyfire is a little too modest, and it is likely that it will not be able to defeat the Norman airship troops, right? ”
"You have a good idea, but the purpose of the Skyfire is not here, it will be used as your special ship, go find enough people, little sister, and then go to the New World."
Josephine looked at his brother in disbelief, and from his words he didn't hear the expectation of victory at all, he was preparing for a back road?
"Don't look at me like that, time waits for no one, go find the crew."
"But, brother, ......"
Baron raised his hand and stopped Josephine from continuing, "I know what I'm doing, all you have to do is continue the glory of Brittany, and I'...... My legend has just begun. ”
After saying that, the crown prince left without looking back, leaving only Josephine in place, accompanied by several officers, but the princess did not care at all, because she had a hunch that she might never see her brother again after this parting.
