The official name of the alchemy constructor is the Floating Magical Energy Transport.

It is powered by a large number of magic crystals stored in the cabin, which release energy through the operation of the magic furnace, thereby driving the thick hull to float into the air. Of course, due to the high cost of use, only the military, a few big nobles, and large chambers of commerce can afford it.

The location of this military exercise is far away in the western border town of the empire: the Darkwing Fire Dragon Fortress, adjacent to the territory of the gray dwarves.

The western frontier has always been uneven, and the empire has long amassed heavy troops to fight hundreds of years of war against this stubborn, violent and ferocious race.

Unlike their distant relatives in the Rock Continent, the Grey Dwarves here have never developed a unified nation, and are still ruled by tribes, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of people in each large tribe. Although the adult dwarves are excellent warriors, they are facing a vast empire with a population of more than a billion people, and the human and material resources that can be mobilized by both sides are not on the same level.

After hundreds of years of war, the borders of the empire gradually moved outward, and thousands of kilometers of rich mountains and hills rich in various rare mineral resources were eaten by the empire little by little. Many of the Grey Dwarf tribes were forced to move westward, rebuilding their homes in the more remote and inhospitable mountains.

Established nearly fifty years ago, the Darkwing Fire Dragon Fortress is stuck in a key valley in the majestic Oskan Mountains, flanked on either side by hard granite mountains thousands of meters high, and the underground is also well protected from the gray dwarf tribes.

According to the assumption of the upper echelons of the empire, this should be a more reasonable location on the western border of the empire, of course, the continuous attack and weakening plan of the gray dwarf tribe cannot be stopped, and if necessary, you can also consider grabbing some more territory back.

“…… The management of the Royal Academy of Magic is a bunch of goddamn vampires. ”

Tu Yang leaned over with a silver wine jug in his hand, and complained a little unwillingly: "Obviously, it is an actual combat military exercise jointly organized by the military department of the empire and the school, and the Ministry of Finance has a special fund to allocate it. As a result, we have to pay for the travel by ourselves, which is really shameless! ”

Qin Feng thought for a moment and said: "Such a large magic energy transport ship, it only carries dozens of students, and together with our followers, there are only two or three hundred people, and the magic crystals on the road consume a lot, so it's normal to charge some fees, right?" ”

", they did it on purpose!"

Tuyan said hatefully: "If it is the kind of military-style floating transport ship, it is basically free, although the personal space is not so spacious." They just thought that we, the students of the higher campus, had money, so they planned to use this opportunity to earn some extra money, and specially arranged this luxury ship for us. ”

"Together with the guards around us, an average student has to take out twenty or thirty thousand gold coins, is it really our money blown by the wind?"

Kurdan next to him said lazily: "What is there to complain about?" At least it's cheaper than using a magic teleportation array, right? Moreover, as long as the performance is better in this exercise, His Majesty the Emperor will have a rich reward. Will you miss that bit of gold? ”

Qin Feng smiled and said nothing, these guys present are not the ones who are short of money, Tu Yang is just complaining. If you can kill a few more gray dwarf powerhouses on the battlefield, the battle exploits will be converted into a lot of gold coins.

After a day and a night, the blue-black mountains finally appeared at the end of the view, and the Darkwing Fire Dragon was about to race.

This metamorphosis city, with a frontal width of more than 10 kilometers and a height of more than 300 meters, was built over several years with a large amount of resources from the empire. In addition to the large number of Magus and elite armies guarding the city, there are thousands of giant magic cannons, magic crystal trebuchets on the city walls, and long-range bed crossbows. At a critical moment, an order can turn an open area outside the city into a sea of purgatory.

Moreover, the city wall is protected by multiple giant magic arrays, and it is difficult for senior legendary powerhouses to pose a threat, and with the imperial powerhouses in the fortress, they have repelled countless attacks by the gray dwarf army for decades.

The floating magic transport fleet landed at the large take-off and landing field near the fortress, and under the loud orders of the instructors and instructors, many students quickly formed a team, and after inspection, they were allowed to enter the fortress.

The battlefield was set up outside the fortress, and from the magic projection map, it was a large hilly area inhabited by a small tribe of gray dwarves.

The powerhouses of the empire had already cleared the entire battlefield a few days ago, and the few gray dwarves of the legendary realm in it had been killed, so there were only a bunch of sanctuary-level gray dwarf powerhouses left. The task of the cadets is to find and kill them, and whoever has the most records and the fewest casualties will be the winner.

The actual combat exercise is the common experience of the military and legal students in the entire university town of the imperial capital, and the team is formed spontaneously by the students, so there is no shortage of various professions. The intention of the military top brass is to familiarize the cadets with the importance of different professions working together in battle.

Inside the fortress is a huge city, with restaurants, markets, casinos, inns, and streets, where you can see groups of middle-aged soldiers and men walking by from time to time, as well as mages and priests and priests.

The cadets were assigned to their respective temporary camps in the formed teams, and then the officers sent intelligence materials on the battlefield, and everyone had half a day to prepare, and then they were about to set off.

In the camp, Tuyan led the crowd to a pre-war meeting.

“…… It doesn't feel too optimistic,"

Creros frowned, knocked on the table and said, "There are tens of thousands of adult dwarven warriors in this tribe, as well as an unknown number of Sacred Domain powerhouses, and some priests. And we...... All the manpower adds up to less than 10,000, and it's not a single heart, so this battle is not easy to fight. ”

The trainees participating in the actual combat exercise, plus their escorts and foreign aid, the size of each team ranges from dozens to hundreds, although there are many strong ones, and any team can bring out a few holy areas, but because of their own battles, in the complex terrain environment, in the face of the enemy with absolute superiority in numbers, the situation is not as easy as it seems on the surface.

Moreover, the gray dwarves are good at digging tunnels, and the entire underground of the hills has been dug in all directions, which is their home field, and it is not easy for the cadets participating in the battle to pull them out and kill them one by one.

Gu Liya frowned and asked, "Do detection spells, or alchemy instruments, work against these gray dwarves underground?" ”

"It used to be more effective, but the Empire has been fighting with them for hundreds of years, and they have a lot of means to avoid our detection, so it's not surprising that there are any accidents on the battlefield," Kuldan said. ”

In this exercise, the casualty target given by the military top brass is 30%, so the dead are certain, and there will be no fewer dead.

Qin Feng's team has a total of thirty-one regular students, but the number of escorts and foreign aid accompanying them exceeds two hundred, and there are many holy domains in it, which are well-equipped, as long as they cooperate properly, there is no doubt that they can exert strong lethality.

"Regarding battlefield reconnaissance, I think I can help." Qin Feng spoke.

Tuyan looked slightly startled, and said with some expectation: "What can you do?" ”

Qin Feng was about to answer, when suddenly there was a noise outside, as if someone was arguing with theories.

"What's going on?"

Touyan asked, slightly displeased.

The door of the barracks was pushed open, and Ferrot walked in with a few guards, and said happily: "There is nothing else, just come and visit the door before the actual combat drill begins." ”

He stared at Qin Feng fiercely, took out a handful of golden tickets from his arms, and several contract documents slapped heavily on the table, looking at everyone with a provocative gaze: "I have some spare money here, do you dare to gamble with me?" The first place in this actual combat exercise is none other than our team! ”

Tu raised his eyebrows, and his voice turned cold: "So you want to play this?" Then I will naturally accompany you, but don't regret losing it. ”

Ferrot laughed: "I have 90 million gold coins here, as well as the ownership documents of these properties, which are equivalent to about 70 million or 80 million, all of which were made up by the brothers in our team." As long as you can win me, these possessions will be yours! ”

"If you want to take it, it's up to you to make the same bet, right?"

Tu Yang frowned, the gambling game of hundreds of millions of gold coins is not a small amount, even if it is thirty-one people who are evenly divided, it is a little difficult, and the other party is obviously prepared.

Qin Feng sighed and said faintly: "Your Excellency Ferrot, this is really not a fun proposal, isn't it good to keep the money and spend it yourself?" Do you have to rush to give it to us? ”

This guy came over to provoke, most of them were aimed at himself, and he naturally couldn't swallow his anger.

Ferrot sneered slightly: "Are you so sure that you can win us?" ”

Qin Feng said very frankly: "I think you will lose even your underwear." ”

"Oh, so you promised to bet with us?"

Ferro asked with a cruel smile, he was just waiting for Qin Feng's words. His side has the advantage in numbers, the strength is superior, and there is another unknown backhand arrangement, so I don't believe that it can't compare to Qin Feng's team.

"Bet, I'm fine!"

Qin Feng nodded, took out a handful of golden tickets from the dimensional space, counted 170 million, and then called a military notary to draw up a contract, and both parties signed and drew a pledge, which took effect.

Ferro was a little frightened, this kid seems to be very wealthy, and he can come up with such a large sum of money casually? The property he had in his hand was made up by dozens of the sons of the great nobles in the ranks, including part of the advance he received from his backers.

If he wins the gamble, he will naturally be very nourishing in the future, but if he loses...... Those aristocratic children in the team won't let him go, maybe he has to sell his ass to pay off his debts.
