After the Tortoise Legion withdrew to the territory of the Kingdom of Sark, Chief of Staff Durac was summoned by the military headquarters to the capital city of Nordanlen.

Although the Spirit Tortoise Legion suffered a defeat and had to retreat with all its members, the Sark Kingdom Military Department did not blame or punish the Spirit Tortoise Legion.

The first reason is that the place where the Spirit Tortoise Legion built the fortifications before was originally in the territory assigned to the Moon Shadow tribe by the Sark Kingdom, and the mission was to block the Moon Shadow tribe, so it was originally untenable.

This time, the elves of the Moon Shadow tribe united with the escort team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to fight back and drive them out, at least in the name of righteousness, there is no problem, and the Sark Kingdom cannot blame from this point at all, and naturally it is not easy to punish the Spirit Tortoise Legion because of this.

The second reason, and the most fundamental reason, is that the military headquarters of the Sark Kingdom hoped to use the Spirit Tortoise Legion to block the elves of the Moon Shadow Clan, but they never expected the Spirit Tortoise Legion to be able to withstand the attack of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort.

In these countries in the southwest corner of the Sainz continent, a consensus has been formed on the combat effectiveness of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's escort team, that is, it is impossible to face it head-on.

Therefore, it is not a matter of punishment for the Spirit Turtle Legion to suffer defeat under the attack of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Escort, because it is beyond their ability in the first place.

The reason why the military department of the Kingdom of Sark summoned the chief of staff of Durand back this time was mainly to obtain first-hand information about the escort team of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce from the chief of staff of Durak.

So after Chief of Staff Durand returned to Nordaeron, in addition to reporting to the military department, more often than not. They all went to the military magic machinery research and development center jointly established by the military department and the kingdom magic research institute. Provide your own front-line information to support the work of the R&D Centre.

Today is the fifth day of Chief of Staff Durank's return to Nordaeron. He got up early in the morning, and after breakfast, he rode in a carriage to the military magic machinery research and development center, located thirty kilometers northwest of the city of Nordanron.

The R&D center occupies a huge area of land that includes five valleys, and is surrounded by a wall that is extremely well defended.

Even if Chief of Staff Durand comes, he will need to go through layers of checkpoints before he can be allowed to enter.

But when you really enter it, you will find that it seems to be another world.

Countless kinds of strange magical machines of all kinds are scurrying back and forth in this R&D center base, making people dizzy.

These magic machines are all magicians from the Magic Research Institute who help with the study of military magic machines. Based on the inspiration provided by the various magical machines of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he developed and designed something by himself.

One of the most conspicuous is a four-wheeled replica magic locomotive, which is running back and forth on the road of the base, and the speed is extremely fast.

Judging from the appearance, this imitation magic locomotive is not much different from the magic locomotive of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, so that Chief of Staff Durak almost confessed his mistake on the first day he came.

But after a few days here, it was already clear to him that although this imitation magic locomotive looked like it could run, it could only run on four wheels. It can't carry anything at all, it's just a show.

And it's not just this replica magic locomotive, the most core magic engine was removed from the magic locomotive purchased by the New Flying Merchants. Even the four most basic tires were purchased from the New Flying Chamber.

To put it simply, almost all the parts on this replica magic locomotive were purchased from the New Flying Chamber, and the Sark Kingdom Military Magic Machinery Research and Development Center was just made of craftsmen to make what seemed to be a large proportion of the iron frame, but in fact it was the most untechnical.

And even if it is this iron frame, because it is only ordinary pig iron, it is far inferior to the magic locomotive of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in terms of hardness and flexibility.

In addition, the craftsmanship of craftsmen is far from enough to ensure precision, so it often requires only three or four of the ten finished products to be qualified.

The consequence of this is that it is extremely expensive to build, and it is even several times more expensive than buying a magic locomotive directly from the New Flying Chamber.

As a result, this military magic machinery research and development center only invested some energy in some civilian magic machinery in the early days, and then was immediately stopped by the Kingdom Finance Department due to financial problems, and now all its energy is focused on the research and development of military magic machinery.

But even if all the energy, money, and even manpower are focused on the research and development of military magic machinery, the real effect is still not satisfactory......

Thinking of some of the things he had seen in this military magic machinery research and development center in the past few days, Chief of Staff Durand couldn't help but shake his head, and sighed secretly in his heart.

"Chief of Staff Durank, good morning. Grand Magician Moev is waiting for you. A researcher dressed in a wizard's robe happened to pass by and greeted Chief of Staff Durank.

"Well, good morning, I'll go see him. Chief of Staff Durant responded with a quick walk to the depths of the base.

After entering a huge valley, Chief of Staff Durac met with Grand Magician Moev, the director of this military magic machine research and development center.

Grand Magician Moev is one of the seven great magicians of the Sark Kingdom, and was originally the vice president of the Royal Academy of Magic.

The imitation magic locomotive that Chief of Staff Durand saw before was from him.

Seeing Chief of Staff Durak approaching, Grand Magician Moev beckoned to him.

"Chief of Staff Durank, you've come just in time. I still have a few more questions for you about the long-range magic cannon of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Escort that you mentioned yesterday. ”

"Excuse me. "In the face of a noble archmage, even if Durand is the chief of staff of the Spirit Tortoise Legion, he is very polite.

"You said yesterday that when the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort launched an attack on you, it was at least more than two kilometers away from you. But yesterday I did some of the calculations and found that this is a bit unrealistic. Because among the known magics, only spell-level magic with forbidden spells could have such a long attack range. But of course it's impossible for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team to release forbidden spells at will, right?"

"Of course. Chief of Staff Durac nodded. "If the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Escort can use a bunch of forbidden spells casually, then the New Flying Chamber of Commerce doesn't need to trouble us at all, because they have long ruled the entire Sainz Continent with ease. ”

"Chief of Staff Durank, this joke is not funny at all. Grand Magician Moev frowned slightly, shook his head, and continued, "I'm sure it's not forbidden magic, because it's obviously far less powerful. In that case, the only possibility left is that the magic trebuchet uses magic to launch lethal magic cannonballs to form an attack, do you agree?"

"Well, that's right. Chief of Staff Durak nodded, feeling a little strange. "Grand Magician Moev, didn't this have been determined a long time ago. And judging from the information sent back by the spies we arranged for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, this is originally the basic principle of many military magic machines of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. You ask this question out of the blue......"

"I just wanted to confirm. Grand Magician Moev said, "Because this involves another very critical issue. What kind of magic did the military magic machinery of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce rely on to launch magic cannonballs so far away, and be able to hit the fortifications in front of you so accurately, but not attack you hiding behind?"

Chief of Staff Durak was slightly stunned, and then he remembered that this was indeed a problem.

When he was forced back by the fierce attack of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team before, he didn't think about it, he only felt that with the powerful power of the military magic machinery mastered by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team, this was a natural result.

But now that he was reminded by Grand Magician Moev, he found that what the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort team had done before was actually very amazing.

It's just that the attack distance is long, how did the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team manage to control their attacks to such a precise range without accidental injury?

You know, even archery can make mistakes, but when they were attacked before, all the magic cannons of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce landed accurately in the front half of the fortifications arranged by the Spirit Turtle Legion, that is, within the range of no soldiers.

The end result was that the fortifications that the Spirit Turtle Legion had carefully arranged for half a year were completely destroyed, but the Spirit Turtle Legion did not suffer any casualties from beginning to end.

If you think about it, it is even more terrifying than the total annihilation of the Spirit Tortoise Legion.

Because this means that the power of the military magic machinery in the hands of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has reached an unbelievably super power, and it has even exceeded the common sense of Chief of Staff Dulanke.

Seeing the change in the expression on Durank's Chief of Staff's face, Grand Magician Moev knew that he finally understood what he wanted to ask, and after a moment of silence, he waved to him again.

Chief of Staff Durak followed him slightly dazedly, and the two entered a large, open test site in the valley.

In the center of the field stands a huge bracket with a thick metal pipe erected on it, which looks imposing.

"This is our own magic artillery developed based on the information provided by the Military Intelligence Agency, you can help take a look at it and provide you with the experience of these actual combat troops. Grand Magician Moev said.

"Good. Chief of Staff Durak nodded in response.

However, looking at the magic cannon in the open square, which looked very powerful but very clumsy, he couldn't expect anything in his heart.

The magic cannon of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce can even achieve accurate targeted strikes, can this magic cannon have half the power of it? (To be continued......
