The alchemists poured into the cave and let out a noisy exclamation, the light flickered in bursts, and the old alchemist Cleel shouted like a desperate villain: "This can't be ——!"

His assistant and bodyguard, the alchemical golem that had always felt a little familiar to Richie, smashed his fist into the back of his head from behind, knocking his master unconscious in full view.

The alchemy golem explained: "This is a necessary security measure......"

Eve grabbed a handful of copper coins, the orange flame rose in her hand, and after a while, the copper coins turned rose, which was the most commonly used and familiar copper.

"It can't be!"

The alchemy puppet hugged the iron head and shouted, "Who will stun me!"

Don't forget that this puppet holds the soul of a human and is an alchemist without alchemy stones.

In short, Eve caused tons of damage to the alchemist's three views, and also gave them a new future. Many alchemists bowed their heads, wanting to obtain this kind of source fire that was more magical than alchemy stones, Li Qi conveniently stuffed each of them with a copy of the "Crimson Divine Codex" equivalent to a textbook for elementary school students, encouraging them to study hard and improve every day.

As for Eve, because she was too excited to be satisfied with burning the copper plate with the source fire, she began to burn the walls in a madness. Li Qi hurriedly called Aurora to come over and let her refresh the education of love, and also booked to go to the Cheyendia mine to complete the production of 100 tons of copper, so that she could vent enough.

This number is based on Vicky's calculations, which is the limit of a day's work, and of course the consequence is foaming at the mouth, which is close to human dryness, and can be quiet for a few days.

Li Qi left Crimson University with a full of relief and joy, I really didn't expect that the change of camp would bring such benefits. Eve found the right way to use the source fire, and organized the alchemist force together. Now that the Fei Gong already has a Crimson Druid, the new force of the Crimson Alchemist is just around the corner.

The Alchemy Academy with Vicky as the core was rapidly forming in Li Qi's mind, and the Crimson Alchemist was enough to produce a massive amount of magic metal just by practicing reducing ordinary metals to magic metals.

For now, copper smelting can be left to Vicky to solve, and the freed up manpower will be transferred to the production of Mithril and Adamantite. Red's army of Chaos Angels needs magic armor and weapons, Epsillon's space defense project needs a magic metal skeleton, and the demand for Mithril and Adamantite has also increased greatly in the Super Magic Cannon and various projects that are speeding up, just to solve the urgent need.

There is good news on other fronts, as the Caring Slime Guild has found a new neutral oil that can greatly increase the absorption rate of the Demonized Slime Liquid while reducing the proportion of neutral oil in the slime Demonic Oil.

The original magic furnace was replaced with a new magic oil, and the consumption was reduced by 40%, and the power was increased by nearly 20%. The most notable change is that the transportation route from the Cactus Base to the Kingdom of Silver Pines no longer requires refueling, and the journey time has been reduced from almost a full day to sixteen hours.

Everything went smoothly, and the backtracking of the change in the camp of the goddess of commerce was completed, and Li Qi believed that the beliefs of the members of the Fei Communist Party did not need to worry too much.

In the past few days, Li Qi and all the high-level members have been paying close attention to the ideological status of the members of the Fei Gong, and the members of the Fei Communist Party in the field of scientific research and engineering are not so sensitive to changes in the faction, and these guys, who are mainly magicians, arcanists, warlocks, magic guide craftsmen and magicians, think that this is the right way, and the general loyalty is +10.

The statement of Farrell, the director of the supercomputer institute, is the most typical: "When Her Majesty the Goddess was still a good god, we were actually very unaccustomed to it, in our opinion, the camp of good gods is a painting style that only needs deep faith and fantasy comes true, and the power of natural truth and reason has always been rejected." We also have to overcome these psychological barriers before we can devote ourselves to our work. Now it's okay, the goddess is a neutral camp, the crimson divine power has become the law of nature, the belief in the goddess, the belief in the path of cosmopolitanism and the pursuit of the mysteries of nature no longer have any conflict, and the spring of truth has arrived!"

The situation on the regimental side is more complicated, but the grassroots cadres with the standard-bearers and the Templars as the core are strong in their thinking, which is enough to stabilize the morale of the army. Coupled with the brutality of the enemy on the opposite side, the change of camp did not change the nature of this war, and even the most basic soldiers, after receiving the necessary education, were able to adhere to the bottom line of "at least our current battle is just", and the overall condition of the regiment was good.

There have been some signs of vacillation at the grassroots level of the Fei Communist Party, which is distributed in the fields of production, life and social services, and the measures taken to deal with Xiaohong's situation have come into play again. Holding study classes, conducting roving lectures, and promptly replacing and rotating personnel in important positions, the Central Committee has been familiar with a series of operating expenses.

As for ordinary citizens, they are busy earning working hours and contributing points, participating in various organizations, expanding their knowledge and improving their strength, who cares about this.

The Kist immigrants who are still in the study class are being shocked by all kinds of new things, not to mention that the Crimson Lady has become a neutral god, even if she becomes an evil god, no one cares. If a god who is given free bread and water, warm shelter and clean clothes to all without asking for anything in return, or even forbidding them to worship a statue, is also considered evil, then it must be the world's fault.

Li Qi felt that he could rest assured, and then he should focus on the production and military links. The Fei Gong was under great pressure on both the human and god fronts, and the pressure on the god front was even greater, which required the mortal front to give greater support to the god front at the production level while winning military victories.

Back in the office building, looking out of the window, Beta City was still devastated. The wounds of the Wyvern War have not yet been completely healed, and the city is littered with ruins.

It's not that the Infrastructure Construction Committee is too busy, but it's just in time to renovate the old city.

In view of the construction of the Fan Iron Smelter in Ciandia, the steel production has increased significantly, and the Infrastructure Committee has also developed new construction technologies. They were going to weave the building frame out of steel and turn the mud into stone to create a stronger and taller building. The ruins that were destroyed by the Wyvern were just used as raw materials for construction, so they were not cleaned up.

Another focus of the renovation of the old city is the implementation of the magic power conversion project proposed by Youzan, which will change the living facilities such as urban lighting and heating, kitchen affairs, water supply and drainage, and elevators to electric drive, so that all civilians can enjoy a more advanced and convenient modern life.

It will take a little time, especially since Beta is still under the threat of enemy air power.

Using magic to generate electricity and make water, bringing light and clean water to everyone, and then using magic to rub bread and weave clothes, providing food and clothing through social mutual assistance, and then supporting the more advanced and complex parts of society by magic and magic, Li Qi thought leisurely, such a world painting style is really complex and gorgeous enough.

An icy blue fell, obscuring Richie's entire vision, and the unusually human dragon's face was full of eagerness and uneasiness: "Boss, our convoy has been attacked!" Ellie...... No, it's going to be that Sister Catherine is jumping to form a group to clean up the enemy!"

It's the blue dragon Haligos, because he is both Richie's car and driver, and he seems to have become an assistant.

"Why didn't the base message me?"

Li Qi jumped to his feet, and immediately understood that it was Catherine who had used her position as deputy captain to suppress the report, and was ready to solve it alone.

"This time she has to be confined to prison! I said a long time ago to watch out for the enemy's movements, and once they show up, it will definitely not be a small fight!"

Li Qi stretched out his hand as he spoke, and the blue dragon skillfully lowered his head and let him grab the horns on his head and climb onto his back. This is degrading to the genuine dragon clan, but compared to the allowance of twenty sapphires per month and the treatment of eating and drinking casually in human form, what kind of dignity is.

As soon as the Blue Dragon rose into the air, the air defense command sent a report from the early warning crew: "A large number of enemies appeared 200 kilometers to the northeast, at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and at a speed of ...... More than 300 kilometers per hour!"

Halligos shouted: "The convoy encountered the enemy so quickly, saying that the wyvern was equipped with propellers, and our monkfish could not shake them off with full dragon strength, so the escort fighters had to turn back to fight." ”

"Hurry up, I'm going to get back to base in five minutes," Li Qi patted the blue scales of the blue dragon with a faint touch of mind.

Sure enough, as he expected, both the transport team and the air base were the targets of the enemy, and if the other side wanted to wipe out its air power in one fell swoop, it would definitely come out.

"Wow, it's so itchy!"

The blue dragon shouted: "I told you to get me a dragon booster, but now the enemy has used it first, do you regret it?" Okay, even if you don't need a booster, I'll fly it to you!

A circle of white mist swept through the air, and the blue dragon shot towards the northeast at a speed that almost caught up with the fighter.

..................

In the mountains west of Kist, two floating ships dragged a huge dragon's lair and flew at an altitude of 20,000 meters.

On the more slender floating ship, the halfling stared at the light curtain and said angrily, "Why are those flies different!?"

The magic guide aircraft in the light curtain is very different from half a month ago, the body has not changed, the two flat pontoons have been moved to the back, and at the same time they extend a lot to the left and right, and the buoys and the body are wide and thin, like the wings of a bird. A pair of wings stretched out on the outside of the pontoon, which are wide inside and narrow on the outside, like the wings in the nose part, can actually rotate flexibly.

A pair of propellers that were originally mounted on the tail of the fuselage became two pairs of pontoons, and the double oars, which were originally one positive and one reversed, became a single oar. The original Y-shaped tail rudder is still there, but it has become larger, and the tail has an additional turret that can be rotated flexibly, making this aircraft a four-crew, air combat weapon with both front, middle and rear omnidirectional firepower.

Today's flying machines are not only much faster, but they are also much more agile than before. In contrast, those rear bodies were covered with a rudimentary booster propeller mount, and two halflings were added to the wyverns, although they were half as fast as before, but they lost their original dexterity. The only thing to be thankful for is that thanks to the halfling shooter on board, the Wyvern also has the long-range firepower to attack from a kilometer or two.

The tail cannon of a flying machine blew up most of the head of a wyvern thousands of kilometers away, and the wyvern rolled and fell with a mournful roar, and two small figures were thrown out, dancing louder than the sound of the wyvern, and Milhos muttered in frustration: "Well, it's just that far away." ”

A low and hoarse voice sounded: "Marquis, are you considering letting Zatak Elon move......

"Kidina, I didn't punish you, I took you out, just considering Zatak Elon's feelings", the halfling turned his head to look at the woman next to him unhappily...... Because the image is too weird, it is difficult to confirm the race of this woman when you look at it.

The tight leather armor under the cloak outlined the beorienting curves, and it seemed that it was still human, but the exposed arms and legs were covered with shiny scales, the pale cheeks shone with a metallic sheen, and the clump of gray hair that only gathered on the top of the head looked like horsehair.

Alive, corrupted by the dragon's blood, and with a completely different image, Kidina did not show weakness in front of the halfling: "I am conveying the will of Zatak Elon, and I have a heart-to-heart with him. ”

"Zatak Elon is loyal to me!"

The halfling man paused and screamed with his staff: "You are just a toy I threw to him, pay attention to your identity! Don't think that you can become a dragon rider after the dragon's blood, whether you are qualified or not is completely up to me!"

Kidina's eyes flickered, and after a moment she lowered her head and said, "I just wish I could do something, and the Marquis doesn't have to doubt my loyalty." ”

"Loyalty?"

The halfling snorted: "You are so loyal, you won't refuse to open your legs when my scalp is itchy!"

"It's not that I refused, Marquis, you know why," Kidina's tone remained respectful.

The halfling man said with a dark face, "Since Zatak Elon is satisfied with you, then forget it." ”

He pointed to the light curtain, "I don't have any intention of letting Zatak Elon fight, just in case." The purpose of intercepting this convoy is not only to destroy them, but also to grab some aircraft, even one. I'm going to figure out how Prell got it, and then I'm going to work on my Wyvern to make further improvements. I will let Belino and everyone know that my army of dragons is the overlord of the skies. ”

Gidina smiled: "No wonder the Marquis also sent a detachment to attack their base, at this time, the strength of the base should be very weak just like last time." It should be easy to seize some more ancillary facilities, get more information, and even get a few flying machines. ”

"Can't be too optimistic", the halfling tried to suppress the corners of his mouth that was about to be raised: "It will definitely take some effort, but a hundred modified Wyverns, plus the Barnum floating ship, this is no longer a force they can resist." Their base is not my dragon's lair, and they can't fly without legs. ”

"So here ......"

Kidina said worriedly, "Our Wyvern doesn't look like it's a match for these dozens of flying machines. ”

"So, I'm going to take a risk this time", the halfling waved his hand and unfurled another light curtain: "Zalim, attack!"

The other floating ship dragging the huge dragon's nest back to the trestle and sank downward, slowly sinking into the clouds.

The corners of the halfling's mouth finally curled: "Although the Zalim is a little slower, it has the same jumping ballista as the Barnum......"

..................

Halligos did what he said, sending Litchie from Beta City to the Cactus base in five minutes, at a speed of up to 600 kilometers per hour, and it seems that he has learned a lot of aerodynamics in the base, and knows how to use the air flow to make his speed to the next level.

However, the price was not small, as soon as he arrived at the base, he collapsed in the open space next to the take-off and landing field, sticking out his tongue and panting violently, and he didn't even have the strength to change back into a human form.

At this time, Litchie also received a message from Wilson and Gambit from the northern front that Atlas had launched a ground offensive.

Do these two guys finally know how to work together instead of scolding each other?

"A floating ship from each of you?"

After receiving news from the two directions of the convoy and the early warning aircraft, Li Qixin said that this was a good opportunity.

"The convoy has Linde's support on the side, and the goal is to conserve strength and put safety first. Here at the base, it's just time to verify our new toys", Li Qi arranged while rushing to the control tower: "The first squadron is carrying the batch of ammunition sent by the Teggarj Fortress two days ago, is there only six, it doesn't matter, one each from No. 2 to No. 7, take off first, and go to the southern airspace to standby." ”

Entering the tower, Catherine hurried up to meet her, and saw that Richie was frowning, and slipped to the side with a limp of his heels.

"Colonel Catherine," Li Qi said with a straight face and in a businesslike tone: "You have withheld information without authorization, which is a serious violation of military discipline, and must be deeply reviewed. Shut down for a day before you get your issue dealt with. ”

Catherine turned around and snapped upright, giving a military salute, and her high breasts and gaze on the ceiling showed that she was very unhappy.

Li Qi remained serious: "But that's for later, now lead the team to take off and kill those invading dragons." ”

Catherine glanced at Richie, her chest standing higher, "Yes!"

The tone was still very unhappy, Catherine was a top student at the Obsidian Witch Academy, how could she be intimidated by a review, she was unhappy that she was going to be shut up. Whether it is Ellie in the state of a bear child, or Catherine in the state of a cold-faced royal sister, the most unbearable thing is the little black house.

Looking left and right to make sure no one was paying attention, Li Qi leaned into Catherine's ear and whispered, "I'll accompany you then." ”

"No ......"

Catherine also made a pretty face: "Rare." ”

After saying that, she shook her head and left, but a hint of blush rising from her cheeks still leaked her heart.

Catherine leads the team into the air, and Richie comes to a workbench, on which the avatar keeps jumping out, and the voice of the avatar sounds.

"Yo-hoo——! fifth! I'm the trump card! I can spray a copper pentagram on the fuselage!"

"Who told you that the five is an ace? This just proves that you are qualified for the Flying Dragon project. ”

"But this thing has a propeller on its ass, cardinal...... Oh, the captain said that as long as you have the same characteristics, you can count it like that!"

"311, pull up! pull up! There are two dragons chasing you within 500 meters of you!"

"520, beware of accidentally damaging the transport plane!"

"Aha, I knocked off half of that guy's wing! It's so perfect that I'll give it 10!"

"Float ship, float ship off the head!"

"The sixth squadron returned to defend the transport planes, and the third squadron reorganized itself to attack and harass the floating ships. ”

"Come on, I can't wait to spill the shells on the floating ship!"

Avatars flickered, voices jumped, and even if the actual scene was not visible, the people around the workbench seemed to be on the battlefield, shuttling between the whistling warplanes and the dragons.
