"Alfie, if only you could have been born fifteen years earlier. Sebastian sighed with great regret, "Your attainments in mechanical engineering are obviously much more reliable than that half-ass!"

"Hehe, now that you realize my importance? It's too late! When we first met, you didn't be honest with each other, which eliminated the possibility of our future cooperation. "Alfie is actually not without regrets, Sebastian gives him the feeling that he should be a very good collaborator.

"Alfie, I admit that we have some reason in this regard, can't you give up your old suspicions? whatever conditions are needed, you can do whatever you want!" Master Madison continued to work hard at the risk of being scolded again.

"I'm really sorry, first of all, we have different positions, I will never serve the Empire, will you betray the Empire? Obviously, it is impossible!" Alfie refused, "Secondly, you can understand this as my spiritual purity, I cannot accept cooperation based on lies in the first place. ”

"But......" Master Madison was about to say something, but Sebastian waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Master Madison, you've done enough in this matter, so let me deal with it myself! Alfie's insistence on not cooperating with us may be a good thing, otherwise how lonely it would be to be invincible!" Sebastian's first words, Alfie listened to it quite pleasantly, but the last sentence blew him up.

"What is invincible? You really think too highly of yourself! There are the five powerhouses of the mainland in the past, and the new powerhouses of the Sanctuary in the future, you can't help but think too easily about dominance in the mainland!" Alfie laughed angrily, he had never seen such a bold and unashamed person - well, except for the great troll warriors, but Zambit was more of an ignorant and fearless, but for a wise person like Sebastian, it would be a gimmick to say such brainless words.

"Hehe, I'll prove it to you. Sebastian glanced at him disappreciatively, "It's a pity that you're just a bard, not a combat profession, otherwise you'd be a good opponent!"

The regret and contempt in Sebastian's tone was unmistakable, and Alfie felt deeply insulted. He was just about to fight back, but Sebastian didn't give him this chance, but casually threw a "bait", and once again successfully diverted Alfie's attention.

"I've only just said the beginning, so you haven't guessed the real reason why I gave up Camp Calus. Sebastian recaptured Alfie's curiosity with a single word.

"What's the real reason?" Alfie immediately gossiped, believing that Sebastian was ready to tell him the truth since he had picked it up again.

"Elfie, you don't really think that the Empire spent fifteen years to build the Invincible Armada and build a mere thousand warships, do you?" Sebastian asked suddenly.

"You mean there's more to the Armada than that?" Alfie immediately understood what Sebastian was trying to say.

Sebastian gave Master Madison a look, and he immediately said in understanding: "Elfie, you may not believe it, the Imperial War Department has built a total of five thousand warships!"

"In other words, only one-fifth of the warships participating in the review this time are the size of the entire Invincible Fleet?" Alfie was shocked, but remained silent on the surface. He had used his mechanical powers to seize control of the Thundering, and he knew what power a warship could wield.

If a thousand warships have raised the Empire's military power to unprecedented heights, then five thousand warships are enough for the Empire to sweep across the continent again by water.

Alfie had to admire Augusta's attainments in mechanical engineering, even if he was "retired" by Dobby's parallel import, he still had such power.

"No, the warships participating in the review this time are already all Invincible!" Sebastian sighed helplessly.

"Huh?" Alfie was stunned, why Sebastian was inconsistent about the number of the Armada, but he quickly reacted, "You mean the other four thousand warships have been ......"

"That's right!" Sebastian immediately replied in the affirmative, "You may not believe it, the other four thousand warships have all been destroyed!"

"How is this possible? Who did it? Could it be that the Demon Gold Sanctuary has raided the construction plant?" Alfi shouted in surprise. Five thousand mechanical warships were gathered together, and even the Demon Gold Sanctuary had to retreat, and it seemed that only this possibility would destroy four thousand of them!

"No, I personally ordered the sinking of the four thousand warships!" Sebastian's eyes flashed with regret, and no one could understand how sad and angry he felt when he gave the order.

"Are you crazy? That's eighty percent of the resources since the Empire's cataclysm!" Despite being on the opposite side, Alfie still lamented and lamented the loss caused by Sebastian's decision.

"I'm not crazy, if I hadn't done this at the time, then the Armada wouldn't have been able to keep even these thousand ships!" Sebastian said calmly.

"What happened to make you make such an outrageous decision?" Alfie felt that there must be something strange about it.

"Shortly after you and Rebecca left, there was a riot in the secret location where the Armada was being built. Sebastian asked, not hiding the slightest hint of it, staring into Alfie's eyes.

Alfie was a little hairy by his sharp eyes, and asked inexplicably: "The construction plant of the Armada must be heavily guarded, how can there be a riot?

"Of course, the Imperial War Department would have thought of this, but this riot is something we can't avoid. Because no one thought of the protagonist of this riot!" Sebastian still did not relax his forced gaze at Alfie, which made Alfie quite uncomfortable and wondered in his heart, could it be that Sebastian suspected that he was playing a ghost?

"Who is the protagonist of the riot?" Alfie asked, under Sebastian's coercive pressure.

"Can't you guess?" Sebastian asked rhetorically.

"How can I guess that you don't give me any clues?" said Alfie angrily, "But listen to what you mean, it shouldn't be your internal people, right?"

"Of course not! Everyone who participated in the construction of the Armada was strictly vetted by the military department!" Sebastian saw that Alfie's eyebrows were still in a state of panic, and his suspicion of him was reduced a lot, and he gradually reined in some of his own edge.

"It can't be an alien, right?" Alfie guessed. At that time, the Calus camp had just formed an alliance with the troll tribe, and if you wanted to win over more aliens, it seemed to be a good choice to show some "sincerity". There's nothing better than showing the aliens an invincible armada they're powerless to fight against, and with a combination of grace and might, the chances of success are undoubtedly much greater.
