"Have you read the latest battle report?" In the main tent of the Olympus squadron, Moriarty looked at the officers in front of him and said in a deep voice.

"Yes." White nodded first: "I really didn't expect that the Southern Alliance would still have a secret weapon like a 'humanoid magic puppet'. If it weren't for us, the armies of Belus and Roma just in time, Stormwind might have fallen. ”

"What the hell is that puppet? Why is the war report so bragged? The sword can't cut in, the sword can't penetrate, and even magic can't be broken? On the side, Guderian asked with some disbelief.

"The specific report has not yet come out, but judging from the preliminary research of the seized puppet, it is a manipulative magic puppet." Moriarty nodded, and took out a small model from the drawer on the side, which was a miniature version of a humanoid puppet: "Before the Ice Apocalypse, Bracada's legions had a large-scale installation of a magic golem called 'Pinocchio'. It was a powerful battle puppet with a high-density hard metal shell, a surface covered with a 'magic resistance array', and an internal guò powered by high-energy magic crystals. Whether it is facing a rain of bullets and arrows, or even a spell attack, Pinocchio has an incomparably strong resistance ability. In addition, this humanoid puppet is tall, powerful, and sturdy, so it also has considerable melee combat power. ”

"Oh? Then when you say this, isn't this Pinocchio invincible in the world? can both resist and fight, and the dragon can only eat deflated when it encounters it? Margaret asked rhetorically, somewhat disbelieving.

"It's not invincible in the world. Although the Pinocchio puppet has many advantages just mentioned, it still can't avoid several shortcomings. Moriarty shook his head.

"What is it?"

"One. Due to his all-metal construction and large body weight, Pinocchio's speed of movement is not ideal; Second, because the magic resistance circle engraved on it is too complex, it not only has a long manufacturing cycle and is expensive, but also can completely destroy the magic circuit inside the puppet once it is hit hard by a continuous blunt weapon. ”

"In this regard, it seems that the dwarven warhammer can be its nemesis." Clausewitz interrupted slightly.

"Indeed." Moriarty glanced at the smug silverbearded dwarf and continued, "Third. And most importantly, driving Pinocchio requires a lot of magical energy to support it, so even the purest magic crystals can be equipped. Its battery life is also not too long. ”

"Your Excellency, you're talking about what happened before the Ice Apocalypse, but what about now?" The werewolf asked.

"Now... As I said earlier. Pinocchio's alchemy circle required was extremely high, so after the Great Recession of the Ice Apocalypse, no city-state in Bracada had the technology or the ability to re-equip the Pinocchio puppet on a large scale for hundreds of years. ”

"But this time in Stormwind?" Hearing this, Margaret was a little confused.

"That's because it wasn't the real original Pinocchio that almost captured Stormwind this time, but the newly developed controlled magic puppet 'Iron Fist of War', a simplified, but more practical and economical Pinocchio puppet that was successfully developed by Khumbu City!"

"Your Excellency, you just mentioned the so-called manipulative type. So what exactly is the difference between Iron Fist of War and Pinocchio? White frowned and said.

"Huh. To put it simply, the Iron Fist of War is to change the original magic control system to the goblin manual control. With that, Moriarty turned around and opened a magic device on the side, and immediately a three-dimensional virtual figure appeared in front of everyone.

"This is a live image of the battlefield that was just transferred from Hockenheim, and you can see it. The brass-colored puppet was the Iron Fist of War. ”

As Moriarty pointed out, the officers hurriedly turned their gaze to the stereoscopic image, only to see that the projection was a magical golem that had been completely frozen in a huge pale blue ice crystal. Through the near-transparent ice, everyone can see the full picture of the objects inside. Even, in the gap between the armor slats on the puppet's chest, the blue-green goblin pilot who was instantly frozen to death in the puppet's body and had turned into a terrifying body was clear at a glance.

"There's a goblin sitting inside the golf?" Guderian's eyes widened. An incredulous expression.

"Yes, that's what I mean. Simplifying the magic array at the core of the puppet's body and allowing specially trained goblins to enter its interior and directly control it, not only greatly reduces the cost of alchemy, but also allows it to have greater flexibility and independence than Pinocchio, who is fully magically automated. Moriarty pointed to the projection and explained slowly, "However, such a change is not beneficial and harmless. Due to the manipulator's vision, the original tight golem armor shield had to be replaced with a grille or honeycomb grid. In this way, the enemy has a soft underbelly and a target for focused attacks. At the same time, the body structure of the goblin is naturally far less strong than that of metal, so once the driver inside the golem can be directly killed, then even if the iron fist of war is unharmed, it will no longer be able to move. ”

"I see!" Hearing this, everyone nodded.

"Eh, and who killed this Iron Fist of War? It can freeze the entire puppet with powerful magic resistance, could it be..."Speaking of this, Margaret raised her voice.

"Yes, this trophy was taken by Lady Cold Spring herself." Moriarty smiled slightly: "Maybe you don't know it, when the Allied vanguard troops arrived, in fact, the perimeter of Storm City had already been breached by goblins, and even Naga, who had played 'Mr. Key' in the Battle of the Bulge, reappeared on the battlefield. It's just that the goblin commander didn't expect that our city lord would also be in the vanguard of the allies. After just a super-large area of top-level healing techniques, a large number of wounded soldiers in Stormwind City suddenly got up again to find you desperately, and I am afraid that no one is not afraid of such a scene. In addition, Lady Cold Spring later froze most of the iron fist of war with a few "ice picks", and the goblin commander would be waiting to be counterattacked if he did not order a retreat. ”

"Heh, how many years have passed, the position of the super strong in the war is still so important..."At this time, Clausewitz on the other side sighed softly, I don't know whether he was sighing for the cannon fodder who were powerless to resist on the battlefield, or he was sad about the helpless reality that the strategy was not as good as the strong.

"Either way, that's part of the rules of the game. It's like Krolod's Beamon Behemoth, once he sets foot on the battlefield, he is invincible. Moriarty also smiled and said indifferently.

"Now that the Lord has reached Stormwind and has managed to stabilize his current situation, is there a new order for us?" White asked in a deep voice.

"The new directive is not there, it just asks the Azure Mage Regiment to hurry up and make all preparations. Because of the sudden appearance of the Iron Fist of War, it can be seen that our enemies will be more powerful and difficult to deal with on the battlefield in the future. After all, times are advancing, whether it's us or goblins. In the future, civil wars will only become more and more intense and brutal. With that, Moriarty slowly looked at everyone's faces again.

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

After another half a month or so, the first batch of gargoyle squadrons as planned has been urgently manufactured. In order to complete this "military purchase order", all the alchemy studios in Blue Crystal City can be said to be pinched together and working overtime. Of course, the main force among them is the Laika Studio under the City Lord's Mansion. Other alchemists provide auxiliary services for similar accessories or primary processing according to their different abilities and levels. Even Moriarty, the squadron leader, was arrested and temporarily returned to the Earth Studio to work for more than ten days before he passed the test. Of course, in addition to obtaining a huge return on funds, using his specialization in the fire element realm and alchemy skills, Moriarty also earned a large number of magic materials through the perfect control of the loss ratio, which can be said to be a big profit.

And with nearly a squadron of gargoyles in service, coupled with the monitoring and mutual defense of several mage towers, the power of Aquamarine City can be said to have been greatly improved. Even if the Southern Alliance secretly dispatched goblin airships to bypass Storm City and attack Azurite remotely, they didn't want to find a little cheap.

At this time, the one-month deadline for the Azure Mage Regiment to stay in the rear had also arrived. So all the mage regiments assembled, and they were about to officially leave for the front line of Stormwind City to join the Blue Crystal Legion.

"Morty, can't I really come with you?"

Before leaving, Moriarty took a half-day break for the entire Olympus squadron, and he himself returned to the Olympus Garden to say goodbye to Heryna.

"Yes." Looking at the other party's sad eyes, Moriarty pursed his lips and said, "Compared to the battlefield, the rear needs you more, the Earth Studio needs you more, and Uncle Schmidt needs you more." ”

"But... But I don't worry about you...", Hayrina couldn't help it, and tears fell. A few years ago, she was separated from Moriarty for a few months, and the pain of parting has made her unforgettable, and this time her fiancé is going to the battlefield, how can Haiyuna not be worried and tender.

"I promise you, I'll come back safely." Moriarty gently kissed Hayurna's face, and the salty tears made him inexplicably hurt himself, but his face was still smiling: "And with the care of Mistress Figaro and Mistress Depra, it will be fine." ”

"This..."Hayuna looked up at each other with tears in her eyes, and wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything more.
