A day later, the Rasiman Assembly had just conducted a "drill".

As early as the arrival of the expeditionary force in the city of Laxia, a series of votes and decisions were held within the council - the speaker Jeremy and the councillors voted collectively in favor of the creation of a "new type of war puppet", and the design drawings and preliminary ideas were shown to the public in the council hall.

As the vice president of Movent Academy, Knoth remembers that day with great excitement.

Because of the emergence of the "Forbidden Demon Domain", the Movent Academy, which had long been able to do odd jobs, quickly became the hope in everyone's eyes: the enemy was not afraid of magic, but could not ignore the physical damage from ranged weapons.

Therefore, the old era "cannon crossbow" powered by magic crystals and the "shotgun" powered by new hedron energy immediately became one of the two most popular weapons.

And the "new war puppet" that was expected at the beginning should actually be called a huge "land warship".

Thirty meters long, seventeen meters wide, and ten meters high, the war machine is powered by sixty huge wooden tires underneath and has a unique suspension that allows it to ignore almost most of the terrain, whether it is a desert or a wasteland.

Above it, like a "battleship", it is equipped with 16 short-range artillery crossbows that can rotate, 20 ultra-long-range "hedron cannons", and it is expected to be combined with various large magic circles to provide various fire support and protection for friendly forces in the vicinity.

This was especially important for the already weak Rashman infantry unit.

Originally, Rasiman did not have a "spar cannon", but since Roddy brought a very energy-efficient "spar energy", the Movent Academy has quietly developed this "powerful weapon".

Naturally, the huge "war puppet" could not be built right now, but with a group of puppeteers working day and night, the "combat platform" part of the machine had been preliminarily constructed, and it was loaded with enough artillery and crossbows to appear in an open space outside the city.

Naturally, this was done to give parliamentarians confidence that Rasiman had now found a "way to deal with the enemy."

And with the issuance of orders one after another, the sound of the sixteen artillery crossbows firing in unison under the control of the soldiers, and the deafening roar of the twenty "spar artillery" really shocked the parliamentarians who had not experienced war for a long time...

The targets 100 meters away were pierced by the crossbows on the spot, and the wooden targets 400 to 800 meters away were smashed into pieces by solid round cannonballs.

A handful of unsightly legislators are sneering, apparently "old stubborn" people who think that "puppets" cannot replace magicians in war – such conversations are not uncommon.

Jeremy didn't bother with the argument between them. As the Speaker, he saw in his heart the recent efforts of the Mofonte Academy, listening to the roaring artillery fire and flying debris, the Speaker felt that the suffocation in his chest seemed to be much smoother...

But he soon discovered that Councillor Konos's expression was ugly.

"Konos, what's wrong?"

"Speaker..."

Knos wanted to say something, but finally shook his head: "Still... It's a lot worse. ”

Jeremy knew what he was talking about, and his brows furrowed: "Isn't this kind of weapon able to deal with those Tukh troops?"

"Pulling directly to the front line, the effect is definitely stronger than the current mages who are dumb fire, but compared to the army of the Karen Kingdom-"

He sighed deeply, with an indescribable depression on his face: "We seem to be a whole era behind. ”

The councillors who were discussing the power of artillery heard the conversation between the two, and they gradually stopped their topic and gathered around: "Councillor Konos, if there are hundreds of such artillery, then the enemy may have been blown up before they even approached our troops!"

"It can be blown up from six or seven hundred meters away, which is already beyond the attack range of an ordinary mid-level mage!"

"But there's no accuracy at all! Look at those targets, how many hits can they have?"

The councillors were still arguing, but Konos was in no mood to listen, and shook his head: "Speaker, the artillery of the Karen Kingdom... They may be about the same power at close range, but they have a rate of fire ten times faster. ”

The voices around him were quieter.

"What about range?"

"Their hedron cannon, known as 'Groundhog', has a range of one kilometer. And the one called the 'Vulcan' has a range of two kilometers - of course, I haven't seen it hit that far, but the power is real, and when we have at least ten artillery pieces in a concentrated fire, maybe the power of one shell of the 'Vulcan'. ”

The scene of a group of mages discussing thermal weapons was a bit funny, but when Konos said this, the councillors, who were still a little excited, didn't know how to answer. At this moment, there was an intelligence report-

"Eudora the Scepter Priest... Surrendered?"

Jeremy couldn't believe his ears, in Rasiman's war, in the face of the Tukh people rarely accepted the word "surrender", no matter who was defeated on both sides, they would never die. He could accept the outcome of Roddy's victory, but he could not believe that the enemy would surrender on his own initiative.

He thought for a moment, "Will this priest be escorted back to the rear?"

"Lord Speaker, what does Commander Sodrore mean... The other side not only surrendered, but also... He has surrendered, and now he is a member of the army of the Karen Kingdom, and he does not intend to hand it over to us. ”

"What?!"

"How could he accept this group of evil priests?!"

If Eudora is imprisoned, they can still understand it, and directly let her become a "friendly army" unscathed, where are the parliamentarians willing to do it?

But Congressman Jeremy couldn't help it, and in the face of controversy, he directly began to use the new method of proposing and voting on the bill, and quickly passed two emergency decisions-

First, the research and development cycle of the "new war puppet" will be extended, the research and development of artillery will be suspended, and the focus will be on completing the bearing structure.

Second, the unanimous vote for the purchase of four "Groundhog" guns, as well as four hundred shells ... For imitation and research.

The members of the meeting were dejected, and Konos was silent. Speaker Jeremy patted him on the shoulder: "When the artillery is purchased, our research progress will definitely speed up quickly." ”

"But my lord, my biggest concern is not artillery, but... Their ability to airlift soldiers directly from another continent. ”

No one has broken this point before, because all parliamentarians know that it is insoluble...

"Then we should be glad that the kingdom of Karen is with us, isn't it?"

Speaker Jeremy also sighed secretly after speaking, and looked up at the south... He really couldn't figure out now, was it really as simple as Roddy bringing this army to another continent to repel the Tuks?

And he obviously didn't expect that Roddy was soaring above the "Zagas" desert at this time, staring straight at the rippling yellow sand below, looking for the trace of "Hovira".
