There was a cacophony of roars in the headphones, as well as the voices of goblin pilots Kleech and Gates. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Hey, what are you guys doing?!" Locke couldn't help but shout into it.

"To the left! To the left! To the left! Gates cried out in horror, "I'm going to crash!" Pull up !!! ”

"Shut up! You're a mage, but I'm a pilot! Klitsch retorted, "I'm more familiar with this plane than you are!" ”

"Oh, I'm sorry lord. It's so loud here, I can't hear you clearly! But rest assured, we're on our way to your direction, ten minutes away! No! It's only five minutes away! Klitsch's pleasant voice came out of the headphones with a roar.

"Holy! I won't do that next time! ”

In the final minutes of the call, Locke could still hear Gates' grumbling.

Locke took off the headset and handed it to the goblin, but the goblin didn't leave, he stood aside with the headset. "My lord, I am now your signal corpsman, in charge of communicating with them, please allow me to stand inside. If there is a military situation, I will plug my ears. ”

"How effective is your product? How far can you connect? Locke asked, pointing to the headphones in his hand.

With this headset for long-distance calls, it will no longer be difficult to command a large-scale corps battle in this era.

"Oh, this is our newly invented VXH-0012 portable battlefield intercom." The goblin excitedly held the headset in his hand and swung it, "It is an epoch-making invention of our goblin, with which you can talk to people several kilometers away." ”

"Oh? So how do you get them to work? "Locke is very curious about this thing, there are too many black technologies in this world that people can't understand.

For example, the long-distance call headset in front of you, the space ripper that appeared before, the goblin pacemaker that can save people in the future, the submarine that sails in the deep sea, the armed airship, and even the Burning Legion and the Star Destroyer, which can perform star jumps...

In short, the world is too chaotic.

"Inside it has a small transmitter, it's the size of a grain of rice." The goblin gestured for a moment, and he said proudly, "This is the core technology of our goblins, and the transmitter emits the content of our speech in the form of other radio waves that we can't understand. It is capable of communicating with other VXH-0012 portable war intercoms within a few kilometers, and if it exceeds a certain range, it needs a long-distance repeater to conduct it. ”

Looking at the goblins proudly explaining, thinking about the failure rate of goblin products in the past, Locke then asked, "So, how high is their failure rate?" ”

The goblin seemed to be suddenly stuck in the neck, and the original gushing excitement of the commentary stopped, and he said with some embarrassment, "The failure rate is a little high, but this is not a problem, we will gradually improve." Until there is no malfunction at all, the VXH-0012 portable war intercom is mainly used at airfields and aircraft. ”

Locke smiled, and sure enough, I knew.

However, this is a fortunate thing compared to the failure, and it will be much more convenient in the future.

Now, every goblin engineering master can get a large amount of money injected by Locke every month, and this money is calculated in hundreds of gold coins. This excites the goblins who love technology, so every day in Iva, there are always new inventions, but some of them don't fit the current situation.

Some goblins have also concocted some of the original generation of robots for patrol and defense, but these things have a high failure rate and are prone to wrong procedures, causing casualties.

The surrounding legion commanders looked at the headphones in the goblins' hands with some interest, if this thing can be popularized, it will be a great improvement in their ability to control the army.

"Now get ready for battle, let the soldiers retreat into the woods, and give the fish-men time to go ashore." Locke commanded, "When the fish-men come ashore, then our war will begin." Everyone, stay safe, you are the pillars of our future. ”

"For Lordaeron!" The legionnaires saluted Locke in unison and left.

"Major Hudson, stay first." Locke stopped the old major, and then continued to give orders to the herald, "Go and call Officer Shiloh over." ”

Locke turned to look at the old major, and his lieutenant asked, "How is our cavalry regiment now?" ”

Half a month ago, the first batch of 6,000 war horses from the Goblin City of Ratchet City, a goblin city from the Kalimdor continent, arrived safely except for dozens of dead on the way to sea.

Locke left 1,000 military horses as war horses for other departments and officers, and the rest were given to Major Hudson.

These horses from the Kalimdor continent are different from the horses from the Hillsbrad Hills and the Arathi Highlands, they are stronger and have a stronger load capacity than the previous ones. Originally, the carrying weight of war horses in the army could only reach 400 catties, and they could reach 600-700 catties.

Perhaps because of the different living environment, these war horses are also more violent than the previous war horses, and the first thing the newly established cavalry legion needs to do is to conquer these war horses first.

As a result, Locke could always see some cavalrymen with bruised noses and swollen faces every day. Some were also sent to war pastors for first aid.

"The soldiers we recruited are basically civilians who often live on horseback, as well as the cavalry of the previous kingdom period, as well as the reserve cavalry of our former cavalry wing, and the problem is not very big. If I start a war with the Scourge now, I have the confidence to take them and rush back and forth in the minions of the Scourge. ”

"Let's train first, don't think about fighting." Locke stroked his forehead and said with a smile, "You are the treasure of our army now, and if you make a mistake, I will be distressed for a few days." ”

Major Hudson grinned, showing his white teeth and grinning, "The children have grown up, and they have to be made to behave." Otherwise, the meaning of their existence would not exist. ”

Major Hudson turned his head to look around, the non-commissioned officers were far away. So he stepped forward and asked cautiously, "My lord, do you really not have the will to engrave your own portrait on the gold coin?" ”

Locke turned his head to look at his inquiring face, but his heart couldn't help but beat a little, as if the words he had asked had magical power, and provoked his own desires.

"Major Hudson." Locke said meaningfully, "It's not me that the gold coin is engraved with my head. Do you understand? ”

"There are many people in the crusaders who have more fame and status than me." Locke looked at his thoughtful face and continued. "What's more, the eldest princess of the kingdom has not been found, and it is too early to say this when all this is still undecided."

"Let's go back and prepare." Locke waved his hand, "Let it be." ”

Major Hudson didn't speak, but gave Locke a deep look before turning away.

"Alas, the human heart is full of greed, which is understandable. But if the heart is insufficient, then the end will be extremely sad. ”

Major Hudson paused, and then left.

Throne? Kingdom? King?

Locke sighed inwardly, just a distant dream.

"My lord, the signal is here!" The goblin lowered the headset in his hand to Locke.

Locke held the headphones in one hand and pressed them to his ear, and soon the glittering voice of Goblin Gates came from inside.

"Your Lord! We'll have a few dozen seconds and we'll be over Lake Lordamere where you are! Let the soldiers be ready to fight! ”

"My lord, please keep the radio silent and open! to match my actions! ”

Locke had no choice but to put the headphones on his ears and tell the heralds to inform the various legion commanders to prepare for battle.

Soon, the roar of a helicopter's propeller turning rapidly could be heard in the distance.

Everyone at the lake looked up at the place where the sound was coming from.

A small black dot kept flying over the treetops towards the lake, and it seemed to be traveling at a speed of 70-100 kilometers per hour.

It was from there that the roar of the propeller came from.

"Your Lord! We see you! We'll go over now! Gates yelled in his headphones, "Hey! Crich, speed up! Let's fly over the lake! ”

Then, the little black dot on the horizon began to move quickly towards the lake.

In the sky, the roar of the propellers became louder and louder, and the plane flew quickly to the wide sky above Lake Lordamere, revealing in front of people.

Locke squinted at the plane.

It was a goblin helicopter, and at the top of it, the biplane propeller was spinning rapidly, and the noise was coming from there, where the biplane propeller was connected to the cabin, and there was an exposed gear running at high speed, making a clicking sound.

At the rear of the plane, there are four steel pipes that connect to the tail fin, which is designed like a shark's fin, and is made of thick canvas. At the head of the helicopter is an uncovered cockpit with only a narrow seat on which Goblin Test Pilot Cliff sits and operates. He was clinging to a criss-cross seat belt, and the conical nose of the plane was spinning rapidly outside the cockpit, two separate engines were linked to each side, two small propellers were moving rapidly, and the tail of the engine was constantly spewing some flames.

The simple steel skeleton of the plane was just exposed, and there was no paint sprayed at all.

It was now suspended above Lake Lordamere, and the strong air pressure was constantly blowing the water below the plane, forming ripples.

And the goblin mage Gates, who was hung under the plane with a rope, wore red goggles on his eyes, and had that headset on his head.

"Your Lord! Are our soldiers ready?! I'm going to get to work! ”

Gates's voice was transmitted through the headphones.
