Chapter 268: Some Minor Preparations

Su Wen is indeed not idle these days.

Oh, to be precise, Suwen is actually idle, and what is really not idle is the great magician named Tasuuri, who has regained his false identity when he was in Tridis. The reason is very simple, firstly, few people know that this identity is him, except for Donald, there is only a certain new student of the magic academy who accidentally peeked into his true body, and secondly, it is just a temporary use, when everything is ready, this identity is not needed at all, and he is not interested in being the mastermind behind the scenes.

In the course of these few days, Su Wen ...... No, the Grand Magician of Tasuri has taken over the reins of the city of Mtase, but he has not directly interfered in the affairs of the city lord Lucius, but has made a big fuss about the city's defense. First of all, the magic cannon around the three gates of Mtase City has been removed - as a defense that almost any slightly larger city would erect, the magic cannon is a weapon of mass destruction that can produce an explosion effect comparable to the strength of the five to six rings. Being able to independently release the five-ring elemental magic is the standard for evaluating high-level magicians, and being able to independently release the six-ring elemental magic is the patent of the magician, and then it is the forbidden spell-level magic of the seven-ring, that is to say, as long as there is a magic guide cannon in a city, it is equivalent to having several great magicians or even magicians guarding the town at any time, and its deterrent power can be seen.

In actual warfare, many Magister warbands will try to avoid participating in siege battles, and let countless cannon fodder fill with crowd tactics in order to avoid the edge of the Magister Cannon.

But for the current Su Wen, the magic cannon is something that is destined to be eliminated.

Because in the actual test, whether in terms of firing speed, hit rate or explosion power, its performance is far lower than that of the "Whale" and the electromagnetic cannon, although these magic cannons are not the latest and strongest - Mtase City seems to be rich, but this cake does not belong to it, so it is actually not rich, so that the military power here is far behind the ordinary imperial cities.

As a result, these magic cannons have been replaced with this kind of city-level weapon, which is mostly used in space fortresses in Su Wen's world. Another reason why Su Wen chose it is for the consideration of the characteristics of the elemental mage, the electromagnetic fusion bomb it launches does not contain any gunpowder components, and will not be targeted by the elemental ability, but it can provide a devastating covering blow, according to Su Wen's underground closed test in the past few days, its core absolute energy is about equivalent to the legendary eight-ring forbidden spell Earth Exploding Star according to the system of this world.

And the last time this magic that only existed in legends appeared in reality was when the race war was raging five hundred years ago.

Su Wen could expect that even if he was a magic master in his heyday, if he was locked by a "whale" level electromagnetic cannon, under the continuous bombardment of full power every five seconds, he would probably be bombarded into slag in an instant, and if it was replaced by a magic cannon...... Let's think about how to hit it first.

And such electromagnetic cannons, Su Wen arranged six on the city tower.

This is definitely not a small project, you know, a cannon looks majestic, but in fact, underneath it, where you can't see, there is a structure that is many times larger than this majestic part, including the ammunition depot, the loading system, the energy system, and the emergency maintenance system.

Even the magic guide cannon in this world is the same, not to mention anything else, a city defense-level magic guide cannon must be followed by an operation team of twenty or thirty people to be responsible for operation, maintenance and maintenance.

But now they are all dismissed, because the new electromagnetic cannon is automated.

Having said that, it took a lot of effort to install them, and this was the first time Su Wen had actually summoned a large weapon through the system, so he was very confused when a large number of scattered parts appeared in front of him. In the end, I had to ask Lucius to ask for a team of city defense troops, and in the name of "new magic cannons", let them rush to work overnight, and secretly carry them to the city tower and assemble them.

This was the first thing Su Wen did, and it basically took only one day to arrange it, and after that, he set out to work on the second thing.

The second thing, of course, is protection.

In Suwen's time, there was a type of thing that was heavily used as a protective measure called the Deflection Field Generator, and Suwen once threw one when a vampire broke out to prevent mass casualties. But that time it was a civilian-grade deflector, which was a different thing from a military-grade one mounted on a warship or a core station, which played an extremely important role in space warfare.

Except for a very small number of special particles, there is almost nothing that can penetrate the deflection force field, especially laser energy weapons, which will be refracted or reflected out on the principle of four or two thousand pounds, and the only thing that can really cause a huge load to it is the projection weapon, such as the continuous fire of the Gauss cannon that can quickly deplete the energy of the deflection force field generator. But whether it is a space torpedo or a sub-light cannonball, they all have their own methods, and the main target of the deflector is the energy weapon - then the point is that the elemental magic that is popular in this world is basically the energy without a substance, and the only thing that is really an entity is low-ring magic such as icicle.

And the more you go to the high-ring magic, the less there are physical types, because the existence above the Magus no longer eats any physical attacks, which is undoubtedly great news for the deflection force field.

Su Wen's test naturally included the deflector test, and he pulled several high-level mages under Lucius's command to be strong men, but they all bombarded one by one to the point that their mana was exhausted, and the energy loss of the deflection field generator was only a small amount.

Of course, the cost and energy consumption of a military-grade deflector is astronomical. Fortunately, the absolute safe space that Suwen needed was not large, about the size of a house, so after that meeting that no one knew about, a luxurious lakeside manor deep in the inner city became the exclusive residence of the Grand Magician of Tasuori. The villa was a luxury, a work of Lucius's pride, and he would not normally invite anyone to it, but after meeting his family, he heard that the Wizard of Tasuri needed a secluded place, and he immediately gave it with trepidation.

Su Wen naturally would not be naïve enough to think that such courtesy was really to repay the grace of reunion, although Lucius's attitude towards his new master was respectful at the beginning, but in the final analysis, he was also suspicious, after all, he may be standing on the opposite side now There are more than 20 magic masters from the two empires, and there are still hidden great magic masters, if you don't come up with something convincing, it is impossible to say that there is no dissent.

Su Wen, who knew this well, specially invited Lucius to participate in his 100-meter underground closed test of the "new magic cannon" and the old magic cannon, and then he was completely honest. Well, it's not just honest, as the lord of a city, although his own strength is not strong, but his eyesight and experience are incomparably rich, and he can see at a glance that the new master in front of him has terrifying things that the two empires can never take, and his attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn from hypocrisy to hypocrisy, and became enthusiastic, as if he was not forced to get on the thief ship, but took the initiative to surrender.

As for the reaction of the two empires......

So far, there has been no reaction, or any apparent reaction. No matter how sensitive the intelligence is, it is impossible for the Principality of Marda to see the conversation between only two people that day; as for the Xihuai Empire, a spy died, and a group of people who were watching, even if their brains were not good, they knew that the situation on the side of Mtase City had changed abruptly, but Su Wen did not think that they would immediately send a magic master to ask for the guilt in a majestic manner, first, this completely exposed their relationship with the city lord of Mtase City, and secondly, they would definitely not think that it would be their own half-killed guy who robbed people, no matter how suspicious they were, they would only first ask the old opponent Marda Principality Xingshi to ask for guilt。

According to the historical information that Su Wen has mastered, this is not the first time that something like this has happened, otherwise what would be the change of puppet regimes in the two countries?

At least not in the last few days.

However, after all, they are two huge empires, and they will not have less eyeliner in Mtase City, at least Lucius will not be alone, and even most of them are gathered in the inner city where the information is most concentrated. But these few days have been unexpectedly peaceful, and there is no long-sighted thing to disturb the city lord's mansion, because after all, the dead can't find out the information - Su Wen saw Lucius's ruthlessness, and after realizing that he couldn't go back, and the new master in front of him was terrifying, he didn't even need to take the initiative to remind him, this puppet city lord supported by the former Xihuai Empire showed his sincerity. In less than two days, the inner city seems to have been cleaned with a brush, and the eyeliner from the two empires, there are not many people, but there are also close to three digits, all of which are clearly arranged.

And now, Su Wen is enjoying life in the world of glittering lights, and the Grand Magician of Tasuri, this projection created by the system, is in the villa deep in the inner city, carefully debugging the precision instruments scattered all over the place. Of course, it was remotely controlled by Su Wen.

What he's doing right now is the third thing, deploying his first real base.

That's right, that's what Su Wen really wants.

Rushing to the city lord's mansion and seizing the control of the city, this kind of behavior of knocking down Boos at the beginning and being the big boss himself, on the one hand, is to facilitate the training of his own maid, but this is only a small part of the reason - this reason is like a girl who wants to fish so she contracted a fish pond for her, it looks very romantic and exudes the atmosphere of a domineering president, but in fact, passers-by will feel that this person is not a fool. His real purpose was very simple, and that was to keep the city for himself, and nothing else.

Laetitia's side is just a relatively important side quest, well, it can't be said to be a complete side quest, let this elf test the feasibility of using primitive gunpowder weapons to make trouble, it is indeed a very important thing for future development. The reason why Su Wen encouraged her to use guns to save her people was not all out of love for her maid, in fact, there were some selfish intentions in it, what did Laetitia want to do for her people, and had preliminary research results on this, Su Wen just pushed the boat down the river and asked her to do it boldly. If it is done, he will gain a number of half-elf maids, and he will also have valuable experience in large-scale combat of gunpowder and firearms, which will have extremely important practical significance for whatever he does in the future, and if he is unlucky, he will fail...... For example, if the gunpowder weapon has a greater weakness exposed, or it is violently suppressed by a strong person who has appeared out of nowhere, or because Lyitia is too much to play with, it doesn't matter, after all, it is just a small fight in the backyard of her own house.

The electromagnetic cannon he deployed, however, was intended for a potential large customer, and that was one of the real protagonists of this plan.

As for who it is, Su Wen doesn't know, it may be a demon master wargroup from the two empires, or something else, who can say for sure what hasn't happened yet?

Now Su Wen didn't think that far ahead, he was focusing on debugging the machine in front of him.

The instrument in front of him was more than a man tall, and it looked like a small scaffolding when it was more than half assembled, and there were already several similar assembled instruments in the room, and in the remaining space, there were more piles of accessories that were still in the state of parts.

These are maintenance facilities for nano armor and special weapons, and the so-called opening and hanging also pay attention to the basic law, and things that violate the law of conservation of kinetic energy do not exist in that world, and the storage space of the pit daddy system is actually not very big, and it is okay to put things temporarily, and it is a bit of a dream to want to store all your wealth in it. The weapons in your hands, the armor on your body, and even all kinds of tactical props are not inexhaustible, they will be damaged, they will run out of energy, they will malfunction, and they need to be maintained before and after each use, so as to ensure that they are in the best condition.

If it is an ordinary gunpowder firearm, the usual maintenance is very simple, nothing more than disassembly and cleaning, but it is completely different when put on modern high-end equipment, and the maintenance and maintenance of these things require professional equipment, which is these things in Su Wen's room. Only here can his nano-armor be able to replenish energy, detect and repair damage, and even carry out all sorts of modular modifications.

That's why it's so important for Suwen to have a base that can be resupplied at any time. This point has also been fully recognized by the pit father system, which is why it was so stingy that it cried with a little energy before, but this time it actually cooperated with Su Wen's plan without reservation.

But this also shows how unreliable this guy's crying poverty is, a few days ago, there was no energy to summon even a gravity training room, which will discharge six fortress-level electromagnetic cannons with a raised hand - the energy it consumes in the past few days is probably more than several times that of the previous combined.

However, as a price, Su Wen had to collect a new energy source immediately.

Because even he can feel that there is really not much leftover food in the pit dad system this time.

......

Just when Su Wen was busy, the doorbell suddenly rang outside.

When he looked up, Su Wen found Lucius standing respectfully outside the gate of the manor, and he was the only one, looking like he was in a hurry.

He put down what he was doing and came to the door.

"What's the matter, doesn't it mean that I'm busy these days, don't bother me if there's nothing urgent?"

"There's an urgency, Mr. Tasuri. The seventy-year-old man said respectfully, "The major forces in Mtase City have received a lot of rumors now, and it has already become a pot of porridge outside, and now their leaders have gathered and run to my city lord's mansion to force the palace, asking me to explain what happened." ”

"Hey, I thought it was a big deal, but you're the city lord, can't you solve this kind of small matter?"

"The ......"

Lucius seemed a little embarrassed.

"Although I am the lord of the city, Mr. Tasuri should also understand the situation in Mtase City, if you don't come forward to solve it, with my energy in the city alone, it will not be a problem to suppress one or two forces, but if they really huddle together, it is enough to be a headache. So instead of me entanglement with them, Mr. Tasuri should come forward and settle it once and for all, if you can make them your subordinates. ”

"It seems to make sense, too. ”

Su Wen muttered: "It seems that it is necessary to take a trip, lead the way." ”
