Huge airships soar through the air. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mighty dragons wreak havoc on the battlefield.

The glorious Confederate soldiers waved their flags, while the garbage-like partisans, drowning in their own blood, could only watch with lifeless eyes as their loved ones and comrades were enslaved by the enemy.

If Lieutenant General Chirac hadn't been on the front line of battlefield command, he would have believed such bullshit reports.

Life is not satisfactory **, just like his staff officer, who is anxiously directing the airship to land the supplies to the designated place, but unfortunately those goblin parachutes are completely unreliable, and they are more than a hundred meters above the ground at every turn, breaking the rope, and then--the supply box full of supplies fell to the ground, and the hapless regular army let out a desperate scream, from falling apart to a strange shape, it is almost possible to open a museum of the consequences of the fall of the human body at a high altitude.

Not to mention the slow airship, which is smoking at the moment, everyone from the captain to the sailors is struggling to save their ship, if it really loses power, Vice Admiral Chirac doesn't have to think about the subsequent attack, and is ready to collect the corpse.

"What! You mean the engine is out of order!? The energy supply is insufficient, and the efficiency of the floating magic array cannot be improved? Where's your spare magic machine? What does it mean to not pretend, hey? ”

Well, listen to the rest of the conversation, Lieutenant General Chirac would rather not have a carrier pigeon communication device, so that he would not have to think about what is going on on the airship.

"Sir, the captain of the airship reported that the fathead fish may be out of control, although the speed has been reduced to ten kilometers now, but the crash has become a foregone conclusion, and there is no need to rescue it." The staff officer said with a pale face, "Are we going to pick up the rest of the reinforcements?" ”

"Do you need to say it? Hurry up and let them save people, we must get that captain back, I want to hear what happened! Chirac roared at the people around him, just thinking that the crash would become a fact immediately, and the result of this was that he couldn't bear it, and immediately thought of how to shirk the responsibility, as long as he found the captain......

Soon, a series of supply boxes and personnel fell from the airship, although the goblin parachute was unreliable, it still succeeded in allowing seventy percent of the personnel and materials to land safely, as for the unlucky ones, needless to say.

Looking at the captain who was sent over, the unlucky officer was still injured when he landed, and the consequence of falling to the ground was of course a broken bone, but this had nothing to do with Chirac, and he only wanted to know why the airship was now out of control and about to crash.

"Tell me, Captain, what's going on."

"Sir, I think the problem may be with the procurement of equipment." The captain replied calmly, "The time to build this airship is too short, and the shipyard has no experience. ”

"That wouldn't have been so serious, would it? Although the bastards of the Ministry of Supervision are a little annoying, the receipt of large military supplies has never been ambiguous. Chirac asked suspiciously, "Even if someone embezzles and withholds, the amount won't be too much, right?" ”

"It's all the old calendar, sir! And our airship can only choose ready-made goods in a hurry, the navy, the army and civilian together, I don't know if you have heard of the three-headed deer? Their company has just launched a new magic power unit, which has been installed directly on the airship by the logistics department at a reasonable price. The more the captain spoke, the more strange his face became, and the eyes of Chirac on the other side became glazed.

"O my God! Are the military departments all idiots!? None of the company's 10 power units worked for more than 12 hours! Chirac called out directly, and the captain obviously knew what was going on, "It seems that you also know the inside story, the construction period is short, but the money approved is enough, this time because it is directly approved by the Senate, the Ministry of Finance only deducts 10%, the logistics department 20%, the navy and the army 10%, so that there is still 50% of the funds down." ”

"That's true, half the money, and then?" Chirac nodded with some emotion, this time there were unexpectedly few deductions, and he was really lucky, "Then?" In order to eat kickbacks, those damn purchasers didn't go to other companies at all, and directly signed a contract with the three-headed deer, falsified the bidding records, and could have 10% of the funds used on the right track along the way, which is already very good. ”

Chirac was Spartan in his whole being, in other words, he was completely impressed by the corruption of his colleagues. The Nineteen Nations Alliance of Thurland should not be like this, the once glorious Senate was the core of the entire alliance, and made outstanding contributions in the military, economic, and diplomatic fields.

But time can erode all governments, and no matter how strong, incorruptible, and iron-willed they used to be, they will be crushed in a never-ending sugar-coated cannonball, such as the current Allied Army.

This is not the first time that corruption has been problematic, in fact, what Chirac did not expect was that the entire expedition was to consume the inventory accumulated over the years, and by the way, to verify the usefulness of the airship.

The airship itself was not much of a problem, and with a large number of trade partners, the Alliance could easily scavenge enough wood to build a wooden airship. But the mechanical problems were not so easy to solve, starting with the engine, which they used the notoriously cheap price, and as a newly developed power product, the price of that company was even lower than that of the company with the lowest price.

This creates a strange phenomenon - if the quotation is lower than mine, the quality must be worse than mine; The offer is higher than mine, the quality is definitely better than mine, but I'm cheap enough.

Bad money drives out good money, that's nothing more than that. The next enchantment problem, the mages of the alliance are really not very good, and they can't be compared to the strongest Norman alliance at the moment, and even the St. Orlando League, which is mired in a civil war, is stronger than them. The barely completed construction of the magic array needed to unite and provide the necessary functions for the airship as a whole, but it was a pity that the mage with poor craftsmanship messed up everything.

The only thing that gave Chirac a sense of luck was that the guerrillas crouching inside the anti-magic barrier didn't know what was going on here. He also has the opportunity to regroup his troops and then attack when the airship crashes, destroying all the enemies in one fell swoop.

But is there really such an opportunity?

While the people of Thran were preparing, the people of Saatchi did not stop. Relying on Irene's prompting, Lorraine began to unfold the Sons of Heaven forward base, as if there was a great druid casting spells here, countless thorns began to generate on the main roads, some well-positioned corners, slowly there were plants similar to catapults being born, these big guys who can shoot up to two hundred meters can throw enough plant thorn ball ammunition to blast them in front of the enemy, and can also use stones for traditional attacks.

These are the Ring of Thorns, the defensive weapon of the Commander of the Sons of Heaven. Of course, this is not enough, it is necessary to build a secondary energy furnace to function for them, and at the same time, it can also relieve the pressure on Lorraine's back, and other buildings cannot be opened for the time being, because this requires enough matter and energy to shape, and the collection activities of the little goblins are very easily interrupted.

The next round of battle would start at any time, but Lorraine looked at the slow airship with some strange looks and thought of a question, "Why does it look like it's out of control?" ”
