By the time the two of them came out of the room, they were already about to have dinner, not to mention that the strange smile on the face of the friend they met made Lorraine almost unable to raise his head, drunk and pushed back by the delicate princess?

No one believed him, and looking at Joseph's spirited appearance, he vaguely heard the tuba Lori and the uncle discussing a very practical project about the medicinal value of virgins. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In addition to these funny things, Duke Luther and Lieutenant Colonel Kalinin are the most reliable of these people, because they are already discussing the reorganization of the Seventh Army.

"So what's your conclusion?"

"It's time to draw conclusions, Master Luther can help us with equipment and money, and if you have any special requirements and can find that guy Yuri, he will definitely be able to meet as long as you can afford to pay." Kalinin replied.

Seeing Duke Luther's appearance, he knew that this should be the greatest support that the other party could give, but Lorraine still asked: "Then how to solve the problem of troop resources and establishment?" ”

The lieutenant colonel and the duke looked at each other strangely, and then Kalinin coughed, "Ahem...... Well, considering the quality of the soldiers in the Duchy of Fran, there are still seven or seven or eight factors, and the Duke can provide - 100 qualified soldiers. ”

"You're kidding! We can't fight in Fontainebleau with just 100 men to form a legion! Well, even if it's 100 people, we can recruit others, right? ”

This time it was Duke Luther's turn to speak, "If you are willing to pay the price of five hundred gold fennigs per person, plus a full set of equipment and supplies, the corresponding regulations, ample paid leave, and enough local food, there should still be people willing to join the army." ”

Here I have to say once again that the wastewood Franks are simply a weakened version of the Italians, the geographical location is not close to the sea, and the land transportation is developed, so they can gather a lot of wealth, but they really can't do it in terms of combat.

As a wealthy territory, the Flange soldiers usually wear enchanted heavy armor, even if it is the standard color issued in the army, the soldiers will go to a familiar enchanters to help them, and add more - fancy, good-looking, in other words, how to be cool, absolutely not handsome, as for defense and special enchantment effects, forget it.

Lorraine was barely able to accept this, it was nothing more than a bunch of walking glowing heavy cans, the armor thickness was there and most of them would enchant the armor with lighter spells, enough for them to march, but the weapons were a bit desperate.

Hand cannons, it sounds very exciting, the lethality is very powerful, just one shot can reimburse an Imperial Army standard combat squad, the problem is that the range is really not far enough, the soldier's hit rate is almost negligible, even the most hard-trained people in a year, they have only fired 200 rounds, and the training time has to be spread throughout the year!

Muskets are very normal, but can you not choose ultra-long range, you can add all kinds of special ammunition, but you can't shoot 300 rounds a year! You can't even shoot a row of guns on the battlefield, well, ignore that, but you can even hit 1 out of 10 at a target the size of two people from 50 meters away...... Desperate, the officer leading the team is absolutely desperate!

Cold weapons all chose ten-meter spears and military hammers, as for training...... Anyway, Lorraine had already asked Lieutenant Colonel Kalinin, and it took a day of running to find a squad from the army that was practicing, and according to him, the soldiers could chase ducks in front of the degree of use of their weapons.

Finally, there is the mobile force, it stands to reason that over the years since the fall of the imperial power, there should have been a lot of cavalry or supernatural forces in various territories, and Flange is no exception.

The cavalry added up to more than 1,000 people brought by the duke that day, and the proficiency was good, but unfortunately they were all lightly armed dragoons, this was not the Norman Praetorian Guard, who were armed to the teeth, fierce to death, and could really ride dragons to fight, but cavalrymen armed with muskets, who called themselves dragoons if they heard well, and they could barely dismount and fight, but they didn't have any air defense and anti-magic capabilities.

Then there are the mages and priests, Duke Luther did a good job in this regard, more than 300 mages of all kinds and the same number of priests served in the army, the only problem was raised by Ireen - most of them have low combat ability, mainly familiar with civilian technology, saving the dead and helping the wounded, ordinary enchantment, and even some less difficult demon exploration tasks can be handed over to them, but the large group activities of army combat are too difficult for them, so that every time they will be treated by the old enemy next door, pressed again and again.

"I'm desperate, just like this, I have to offer a recruitment price of 500 gold fennig, Lord Luther, the difference between the quality and value of the soldiers in your territory is too far!"

"There's no way around it, the guys below like the accumulation of wealth and business, even myself, if it weren't for me as a man in this family, I wouldn't want to take over the duke's position."

The words he said were very terrifying, but Lorraine could only nod secretly when he saw the other party's bulging belly and loose muscles, if he wanted to let this 'strong' duke go into battle, it would be easier to raise the white flag directly.

The problem still needs to be solved, and the next few days will need to be solved by Lorraine and his friends, and Princess Josephine, who has just tasted the sweetness, is also not idle, she has to help coordinate the relationship between the team, and by the way, find out all kinds of information.

Someone was in charge of these aspects, so Lorraine went to wander around the city to see what was new, cough cough, in fact, thinking about how to solve the problem of soldiers.

This decision did bring good results, that is, Lorraine actually found a group of quite good magician technicians in this magical version of modern society - the airships and flying machines that were made.

In fact, it is not difficult to rely on magic to go to heaven, the popularization of the magic industry will definitely bring about the promotion of magic items, and city dwellers with a little money can afford low-grade magic props, as for the props used in flight, although they will be a little more expensive, but they are not unaffordable.

But what Lorraine saw was actually a half-finished airship with an enclosed space, with engines and wings, and all kinds of strange devices, and as for the flying machine, it was a bit like a dwarf flying machine in a game that Lorraine played in the Earth era.

With a rotor and a metal cockpit, and a screeching engine that spews out magical elements, it looks scary to look at, and it does look a bit like a helicopter, of course, a simple version.

After his repeated inquiries, he learned that as long as he provided enough money and materials, this seemingly honest and absolutely black-hearted bastard human merchant named Ma Long in front of him could make a very powerful empty ship.

"Let's not mention that this airship of yours is a test subject, and the No. 57 test written on it is clearly written on it, are you an idiot for me! And what is called enough money and materials? Look at the list your engineer gave me, 1 ton of Mithril, 1.5 tons of demonized pure gold, I won't talk about anything else, you know that these two materials alone are enough to build an entire main fleet, and I'm talking about the strongest in the world like Riberia! Lorraine roared angrily at the profiteer, and the sound was like thunder.

The profiteer named Ma Long plucked out his ears indifferently, and his peaceful appearance didn't seem to be affected at all, "Hehe, my lord really looks good, since you think that such a good thing like the Eight Hearts and Eight Arrows Supreme Invincible Forever Warranty is not good, then this is absolutely suitable - to ensure the most basic functions, the load is good and can also provide the right force, and the flight altitude can definitely be thousands." ”

I took the exquisite brochure handed over by the other party, turned to the last page and saw the airship he said, and saw that the price and materials were indeed not very expensive, and if the performance was not unexpected, it was indeed very suitable for equipping the army, but ......, "Since you have all made such good goods, why don't you consider selling them to Archduke Luther?" The Dukedom of Fran should be the only one in the Grand Duke's domain? ”

Facing Lorraine's question, Malone smiled bitterly, "My lord, you also have a demand, not to mention whether the Grand Duke is willing to invest a lot of resources to help us experiment, light energy is not easy to get, our airship now has to use magic crystals to charge at any time, convenient but unstable and easy to explode, and then the speed of the airship is really not up, just like the test subject you see, its speed is only 35 kilometers per hour, and the continuous flight time is less than four hours." It seems that Lorraine has a demand, and Malone is not continuing to blow, but pouring bitter water.

For this point, there is really no way to solve this problem in the modern society, the accumulation of technology required for the mechanical and energy revolution is really insufficient, and it seems that the revolution can be completed by the population of nearly 10 million people in this land alone, but in fact there are less than 500,000 workers here, the vast majority of whom are the most basic laborers, and they are really powerless, coupled with the annual blackmail of neighbors......

Picking up the brochure again, Lorraine studied it carefully, Archduke Luther was able to give him ample equipment and financial support, if he could equip an airship and a good group of soldiers, it would definitely be good to fly directly over the full-time air force mission in the Rocky Mountains.

Suddenly, a very small pattern caught Lorraine's attention, it seemed to be a very small - the three-headed deer logo, Lorraine's face suddenly changed and he turned the pages directly, and found that all the brochures had this logo, "Mr. Malone...... I would like to ask if you are all suppliers of materials and equipment from this company? Pointing to the three-headed deer sign, he asked in silence.

"Oh? Are you talking about Sanlu Company? Of course, thanks to the excellent quality, inexpensive equipment and raw materials provided by this company, we were able to advance the test airboat to No. 57, and it just so happens that the test is needed today for you to take a look at our airboat! Over there, let's start experimenting! Ma Long looked very indifferent, and said that in the end, he actually started the experiment directly, completely ignoring Lorraine, who was stunned.

"How dare you...... Oh no! Get out of the way! ”

Sure enough, there was no unexpected success in the experiment, and the expected doom of freedom - less than fifteen meters in the air, the No. 57 airboat began to rise, tremble, and the pilot screamed in terror, and then ......

BOOM！

"It turns out that you can only succeed if you stay away from Sanlu, idiot!"

Looking at Ma Long's depressed face, a certain mage preached viciously, and the experimental airship as the background was happily exploding......
