Chapter 713: The Key
With a roar, the tightrope suddenly straightened. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The air burst into a low sound like strings in the whiplash.
Under the glow of the blazing searchlight, the huge armor was slowly lifted, and with the gesture of the commander, little by little, it approached the behemoth, and the steel was attached to the dripping flesh and blood.
Immediately after, screws like giant spears pierced the jacks of the armor with the twist of the cardinal, piercing through the flesh, causing the heavy flesh beneath the iron armor to tremble and blood to gush.
In the painful tremor that shook like the earth, the screws wedged deep into the bones beneath the flesh. Immediately afterward, the welding musician stepped forward and manipulated the flames to weld the rivets and armor into one.
It's like putting on an iron cloak for a giant.
"A little higher, a little higher!"
In the scorching air, Captain Yegor commanded the others, roaring hoarsely.
Under the operation of the huge workshop, piece after piece of armor slowly clings to the flesh and blood of the nomadic mountain, this is the final step.
The last commissioning of the Nomad Mountain was completed four days ago.
Dismantling and combining again and again, the body of the Nomad Mountain had expanded by nearly half, and the blood-drenched muscle bundle wrapped the bone plate as the inner layer of armor, and the artificial muscle bundle the thickness of a human body wrapped in a complex alchemy matrix, swallowing the ether, like a pulse of blood.
At this point, the original potential of the Nomadic Mountain has been fully developed.
Moreover, it was given new powers by the Queen.
- Long Wei.
The sea troll with the blood of Leviathan was transformed by the Golden Medal of Victory, and the sleeping beast nature was reactivated, sublimated, and transformed into a true dragonborn.
It was as if the red dragon had turned into steel, and the destruction had turned into a warship.
Under the original skull bow statue, a pair of huge eyes have slowly opened, and the crimson vertical pupils stared indifferently ahead, enduring the pain.
Only the sound of the beating of the heart was like a drum, resounding in the huge and stuffy workshop, making everyone's hearts sway and awe.
"Bad news just came. ”
Through the breathing mask, Stone's voice was thick and muddy: "Asgard and Burgundy have made an alliance. The development rights of four lapis mines were exchanged for the open border corridor and territorial waters of Burgundy. ”
"At least that's what they want to do. ”
Ye Qingxuan nodded, turned around and motioned for Shi Dong to follow, the two of them left the high-level stands and returned to Ye Qingxuan's office, Ye Qingxuan picked up the plan delivered by the military department on the table and threw it to Shi Stone.
After reading it, Stone put it down, was silent for a long time, and exhaled a turbid breath.
"Any ideas?"
"It's difficult...... Stone pinched his iron chin, and his voice was hoarse: "If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid the Asgardians will choose to advance on two lines next." ”
Although Anglo is a maritime nation, it has a total of 27 counties in the four districts of its territory, more than half of which are on land.
With the opening of Burgundy's border corridors, Asgard was able to bypass the Blanc Mountains and pose a direct threat to the grain-producing regions of Anglo and many industrial cities.
At that time, Anglo will have to face the Vermilion Bird Clan, which is known as the Three Pillars of the Empire by Asgard.
After the Battle of Nebukazza in the past year, he personally retired the heavy cavalry from the altar and opened the era of power armor, and the Vermilion Bird clan successfully ascended to the throne, and it was under the leadership of that emperor that Asgard burst out with a terrifying enthusiasm for the new thing of power armor.
For the next hundred years, the armored corps with the vermilion bird as the totem was the nightmare of all armies.
Even now, the Vermilion Bird Legion is still Asgard, no, the largest armored legion in the entire world. Of the 160,000 members, 100,000 are other troops, and the remaining 60,000 are all built around power armor.
In order to keep the legion running, there are even heavy industrial cities, and more than 14,000 mechanical engineers serve the legion, and I am afraid that the number will skyrocket several times in wartime.
There are 20,000 pairs of standing power armor, of which at least 4,000 are the most famous 'frost giants' in Asgard. The Frost Giant Knights, who had spent an unknown amount of effort and money, had not yet been able to gather a full strength of 4,000 men, and were claimed to be able to fight more than three times as many enemies as the same.
Once the Suzatori Clan's army is overwhelmed, then Anglo will probably have to use all his national strength to recruit all the legions to resist.
Even the Knights of the Round Table of the Queen's pro-army are ready to go out of action.
In this way, with the special terrain of the Blanc Mountains, Asgard can be defended from the country, otherwise once the Blanc Fortress is lost and the Vermilion Bird Legion drives straight in, then the plains and fertile soil behind will fall almost within three days.
Anglo will be in a quagmire.
"And to make matters worse, the Asgardian fleet will pass through the territorial waters of Burgundy and directly into the territorial waters of the Anglo......"
Ye Qingxuan looked at the map and drew a somewhat winding arc, the end of which crossed Anglo's territorial waters and pointed directly to Avalon's location.
"If left unchecked, in a day and a half, the sea fortress of Asgard will be under the city of Avalon. That is, as soon as they enter our territorial waters, we no longer have any more strategic depth. ”
Stone shook his head: "It's too reluctant to go to war with the old empire with the national strength that Anglo has just started to prosper." ”
"So I'm going to go myself. ”
Ye Qingxuan looked at the map: "The decisive victory in this battle is on the sea. ”
Even if the Asgardians outnumbered Anglo by more than three times as many troops on land, Fortress Blanc could never be captured with three times the strength of the army.
The defense is too much cheaper than the offense.
In this regard, Ye Qingxuan's mentality is very single.
As long as Anglo's army holds on, it will be a victory.
Ye Qingxuan had even made a plan, once he found out that the Holy City was involved in this war, even if there was a single soldier, he would have a reason to send the Witch's Hammer to the front line.
Although nine times out of ten, the Holy City will not give him this excuse.
He is going to drag the Asgardians to fight a protracted war, the longer the fight, the better, it is better to turn the fortress of Blanc into a quagmire, and drag several small countries nearby into the water as well!
As long as the Asgardians do not lose their hearts and send out the land giant Hercules, as long as they are not crushed by absolute strength, then this battle will still be fought.
Anyway, it's just such a big place, it's useless if there are too many people, what depends on the protracted war ability of both sides.
In short, burn money.
And after considering this, Ye Qingxuan even began to suspect that Burgundy was so simply allied with Asgard that it also harbored evil intentions.
Only the border corridors were opened, limiting the scale of the war, and in doing so, Burgundy stretched Asgard's supply lines and slaughtered Asgardian munitions.
What are you in a hurry to get, I have it, sell you, ten times the price is not expensive, right?
On the other hand, Anglo, with the Stirling internal combustion engine, after the industrial revolution was started again, the domestic productivity almost increased by more than five times, as long as the control of the sea is not lost, then hundreds of routes are equivalent to a steady stream of lapis gold, the whole ocean is Anglo's bank, how much to withdraw as much as you want.
And there is no need to worry about the food problem at all, the old grain that was stored in front of the Leviathan has not yet eaten up a third.
The current Anglo is full of stamina and is not afraid of any war at all.
And all this, there is only one premise.
The Navy held up.
The Navy must hold on.
The significance of the Royal Fleet is to ensure that Anglo has a stable rear and can keep the money printing machine of the ocean.
It's like what Ye Qingxuan said.
The outcome of this battle is by no means decided by the hot Blanc Fortress.
but at sea......

Again, in Asgard, under the Golden Palace, in the headquarters of the Navy, the same topic continues.
In the huge empty conference room, there were only one old and one young.
The old musician who has returned to his original state no longer needs to hold the wedge-shaped slate every day to continue his life, although he is still fragile, but his movement is unhindered.
Sitting across from him was a silent young man.
He looked to be only in his twenties, but his hair was gray, his back was hunched, and his pupils were cloudy, like a sick seedling. The lowered pupils seemed to be sleepy, but between half dreaming and half waking up, there was a frightening cold light flashing,
Chill.
There was an indissible chill wrapped around this young man's body, as if the murderous aura that countless people's lives had been exchanged for. Like a rusty knife, only after the rust and blood brown peeling off on it can you get a glimpse of the cold edge below.
Obviously wearing Asgard's military uniform, but how to look at it makes people feel inappropriate, as if this young man should have more suitable clothes...... More sacred and majestic...... It's also even more gloomy and terrifying.
The old musician couldn't help but sigh: "I'm sorry, the Asgardian military uniform is probably not as comfortable for you as the uniform of the Silent Mechanism, but for the sake of long-term planning, please bear with me for a while." ”
"Rest assured, for me, the quality of clothes has never been a problem. ”
The young man sat on the chair, groping for the silver cane on his knee, with a cold expression: "I can also understand the arrangement of the Holy City, after all, the head of the Silent Mechanism cannot appear on the battlefield in Asgard. ”
"It's good that you can understand, Rommel. The old musician bowed his head, and his heart was relieved a little, but in the face of this young man, he still felt a headache.
Since the previous generation of Handel, the new generation of Handel.
After the heads of the silent organs of the previous generation, the heads of the new generation.
The young musician named Rommel had been the successor of the saints in the Holy City three years earlier, and was also a student of Handel's previous generation.
For his future, there is even a guarantee from the Pope and the caretaker of the Holy Cauldron.
From the age of fourteen, he joined the Silent Agency, a secret service that was feared by all nations, and by the age of nineteen he was already in a high position, and was no less inferior to the wolf flute, and was known as the 'quick knife' and 'mad dog'.
Originally, everyone expected him to break through the Distortion level and step into the realm of the Master, and it would take at least fifteen years before he became the successor saint of the Scepter.
Fifteen years later, a thirty-seven-year-old saint is young enough.
But everyone didn't expect him to be so fast.
