Chapter 578: The Empire Strikes

Soon after the return of the royal capital, Wardstaz abruptly resigned to him.

Morey didn't think he was going out to breathe because he was tired of living in Red Leaf City, but more likely to search for the original things that he had hidden.

Since getting that stone, Vodstaz's strength has grown every day to the naked eye.

If before he was a dragon who had been imprisoned for a long time and seemed to be extremely weak, now he has finally changed himself from weak to normal.

Although it was a bit difficult to rekindle the divine fire, it was much safer to move around the world of Becky, so it was no wonder that he couldn't bear it, and when Morey returned, he quit and went out.

When Wardstaz left, it was rare to have a rainy rain in the Far East, and looking at the rainy Red Leaf City, Morey couldn't help but be a little more worried about this old dragon who claimed to be his ancestor.

But soon the heavy workload of official duties dispelled all of Morey's worries.

Whether it is the three-phase planning of the Murray Park or the large-scale development of the Longyi Islands, they are several major events that have been on my desk recently.

......

Spring goes to autumn, and time passes quietly in an instant.

Boarding the latest steam locomotive, or car, of the Momiji Vehicle Factory, Morey, who is now the governor of the Far East, was quite emotional.

It's only been six years since he crossed over to the present, but he has left his mark in this magical world step by step.

"Even if you wear it back now, you won't have any regrets!"

Watching the street trees on both sides of the road rush behind him, Morey sighed in the steady steam locomotive.

Looking at the smaller and smaller Red Leaf City in the rearview mirror, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.

Over the years, Red Leaf City has not stopped developing, from a dispensable city in the Far East to a large-scale city with many names such as "City of Machinery" and "City of Alchemy".

When Morey's Hyde, Balta and others advanced to the legend one after another, the shortcomings of Red Leaf City's strength were completely compensated, and the city's development began to enter the fast lane.

Just like now, Morey is going to the naval base now renamed Puna City to participate in the entry ceremony of the Second Fleet in the Far East, and by the way, to participate in the launching ceremony of the two "Kongo-class" ironclad ships built for the kingdom's navy.

This otherworldly version of the asphalt is made from the black mud extracted by Sykes's team from the black lake where the tar beasts live, forming an asphalt road that is fast and costly, and far surpasses the world in which they lived in their previous life in terms of maintenance and stress resistance.

So in just a few hours, I arrived at the city of Pune, which used to take several days to reach by horse-drawn carriage.

If Momiji Castle is a city of commerce and machinery, then Puna Castle, which started with the manufacture of warships, is a city of military industry.

The city's products are very homogeneous, and apart from the few fresh catches, the whole city is dedicated to the sprawling Momiji shipyard.

There was a large steel mill, a medium-sized machine tool factory, a steam engine factory, a gantry crane factory, an anchor factory, and even a newest cannery, because Gourd felt that he had to serve the future Imperial Navy in order to be called the "Cradle of the Navy".

As the most powerful ironclad fleet in the world against Becky, the Second Fleet in the Far East is inferior in number to its big brother, the First Fleet, but the shelves are still laid out.

The first batch of ironclad ships delivered to the Second Fleet in the Far East, a total of eight.

The flagship "Sabre" is an invincible-class ironclad ship, equipped with the latest Flame Pillar V. type steam engine, and with the [weight reduction circle] engraved on the bottom of the ship, this 5,000-ton behemoth can soar to 40 knots per hour under extreme circumstances.

Those pirate speedboats that boasted of being "short and light" in their previous lives were shocked to fall when they encountered this warship that could fly as fast as them.

However, this is only an experimental attempt, and it is still unknown whether the combination of magic and machinery can surpass the invincible ships that have transformed themselves into cities of steam on the sea.

After all, the other side has already proved the right path with the corpses of deep sea beasts and many more sunken warships.

But the commander of the Second Fleet, whose heart was higher than the sky, didn't want to follow the old path of his predecessors, so after hearing about the draft design of the magic machine hybrid, he tried his best to advise Morey to go on the horse.

Morey also wanted to see if the mixture of magic and mechanics could create a different kind of spark, so he agreed to this bold plan.

Then there are the two second-class King Kong-class ironclad ships.

These two were fairly powered by steam engines, but one of the bow guns was removed and the latest rotary multi-barrel rapid-fire guns were pressed.

This is the latest equipment designed in the Murray Park, and it is still being experimented, but for some reason it was installed on his fleet by this powerful commander.

This provoked the officers of the First Fleet in the Far East, who got the news, to scold themselves and call themselves "children raised by their stepmothers who have no one to take care of."

It's just that most of the other troops scoff at this, for this gold-swallowing beast that swallows half of the military budget of Red Leaf City in a year, the other troops have torn his heart, and will they take care of their little emotions?

The remaining 5 are the Haiyan-class ironclad ships used to assist combat and transport supplies, generally speaking, the recruits from the Far East Naval Academy will be assigned to this warship, and the kind of good thing that went to the King Kong class or even the invincible class in one step a few years ago has not appeared since the academy expanded its enrollment.

In fact, the ceremony is just like that, he has heard too many compliments to Morey over the years.

Although he knew that what the other party said was the truth, Morey inevitably felt a little irritated, after all, with this nonsense, he could go on the ship and visit several places.

However, as a member of the military and political affairs, Morey still did a good job on the surface, making the group feel like a spring breeze, and they felt a little closer to the most powerful baron in the kingdom.

Well, after a while I may be called Count Morey.

Well-informed people have heard rumors from the royal capital that it is proposed to bypass the city of Saganis and give the title of earl directly to Morey. Gladstone.

If someone else mentions this, everyone just thinks that he is slapping Morey's ass, which is likely to be just a gimmick, but if this person is the commander of the royal guard, Alex. Damyan's words, everyone has to weigh it.

Who doesn't know that Alex is the red man in front of the king, and his words may be what His Majesty the king meant.

Morey naturally didn't know the many calculations in the hearts of these people in front of him, and his mind was filled with a sudden message at this moment.

"The empire will strike, and the kingdom will be in chaos!"
