Chapter 108: City Magic Defense System
A magical airship slowly descends from the sky.
As soon as it was settled, the Caroline County Lord ...... Oh no, Archduke Caroline, who had already taken over the position of Archduke, led a group of men to meet him.
The hatch of the magic airship opened, and Xu Yi walked out of it.
"Hey, dear Xu Yi, you're finally here, I've been waiting for a long time. Grand Duke Caroline walked over and gave Xu Yi a big hug directly, and then ignored the eyes of everyone around him, pouted and leaned over to Xu Yi's face.
Xu Yi hurriedly turned his face away, avoided her mouth and hers, just let her kiss her face, and then kissed her cheek back, which was considered to have completed this obviously more intimate etiquette.
"Hey, Caroline, you're going to get married next month, why are you so bold?" Xu Yi whispered in Grand Duke Caroline's ear.
"Bold, is there it?" Grand Duke Caroline laughed and let out a soft breath, which made Xu Yi's ears itch a little. "What do you think if you promise me now that I will go back and withdraw this marriage immediately?"
"Nonsense. Xu Yi scolded lightly, let go of his hands, gently pushed the body of the Grand Duke Caroline away, and then coughed lightly, and said, "Are you ready?"
Grand Duke Caroline shrugged: "I don't have much to prepare here, anyway, I'm just waiting for the men you sent over." ”
"Hmm. ”
Xu Yi nodded and beckoned behind him, and a group of people of all colors wearing the uniforms of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce rushed out of the magic airship.
"These are some of the people who came with me this time in charge of initial exploration and mapping. Come, let me introduce you, this is Gustalo, the person in charge of the magical defense project of the Dole City system. ”
A tall, middle-aged human man walked up. He bowed to Archduke Caroline.
"I've seen Your Excellency. ”
Grand Duke Caroline looked him up and down. Smiling and holding out his hand.
"Since it was President Xu who sent you here. Then I have full trust in you. Director Gustalo, the overall defense of Dole City is up to you. ”
Gustalo hesitated for a moment, took the hand stretched out by the Grand Duke Caroline and kissed it gently, and replied respectfully: "I will serve you wholeheartedly." ”
"Good. Grand Duke Caroline's eyes wandered, and she glanced around the other Xinfei Chamber of Commerce employees behind Xu Yi, making a gesture of invitation. "I've set up a banquet in the city, so please come with President Xu and all of you. ”
Xu Yi shook his head, glanced at Gustaro and said, "Time is pressing. They don't have that much time to go to any banquets. Gustalo, you should hurry up and survey the situation of the city walls now, and try to come up with the approximate data today. I'm still waiting at the R&D center. ”
"Yes. Gustalu immediately nodded in agreement, and then turned to Grand Duke Caroline: "Your Excellency, please also send some people who are familiar with the city of Dore to carry out this work with us. ”
Grand Duke Caroline was a little stunned: "You don't need to be in such a hurry, right? ”
"No, we don't really have that much time, and we don't know when the next wave of attacks from the Maro Empire will come. And as long as they come again, it will inevitably be a very ferocious wave of attacks, you don't want the precious land you just got to be snatched back by the Maro Empire in a blink of an eye, right?" Xu Yi said.
Grand Duke Caroline sighed softly. Waving back, two Duchy of Draco officials who had followed her to greet her walked briskly.
"Director Gustalo. These are two of the officials on our side who are in charge of the overall defense of the city, and if you have any questions, please ask them. ”
"Okay. ”
Director Gustalo was no longer polite, and went up directly to talk to the two officials.
"Xu Yi, many times I wonder how you trained all the employees of your Chamber of Commerce to look like this, as if they only have work in their eyes and nothing else. Grand Duke Caroline couldn't help but sigh as she watched Gustalo and another group of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce employees also come over to discuss passionately.
Xu Yi smiled: "It's not as exaggerated as you say." The employees of our chamber of commerce are also very good at playing when they are usually idle, but they have always been very serious when they are working. This is what I ask of them, and of course, they are able to accept and consciously do it, mainly because they feel that their work is fulfilling. ”
"Accomplishment?" said Archduke Carolyn frowned slightly. "What kind of sense of accomplishment?"
"Think about it, because of their efforts, they can make the inconspicuous city of Dole City enough to withstand the attack of the huge Maro Empire, isn't there a sense of accomplishment?"
Grand Duke Caroline was silent for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "Xu Yi, you answer me seriously, after the construction of this city system magic defense project, can it really make Dore City extremely stable, enough to withstand the attack of the army of the Maro Empire?"
"City defenses are never something that can be solved by a single system, but I can tell you that as long as there are no problems in other aspects of the city, then this defense system is enough to keep the city from falling for at least a month - no matter how many troops the Maro Empire sends. Xu Yizheng replied.
"What if the Marlowe Empire sends out a Magister?" asked Archduke Caroline again.
"Magister?" Xu Yi laughed. "Hey, if the Maro Empire is willing to risk the taboo of all the mages on the entire continent and send a mage to attack other countries against tradition, then he has already lost half of it. As for the Magister itself...... I admit that the Magister is very powerful in his personal abilities, but you have to remember that the role of a person in the war is very limited, and even if the Maro Empire does dispatch the Magister, it will not be able to help this magic defense system that our Chamber of Commerce has carefully built after long-term research and development. ”
Grand Duke Caroline looked at Xu Yi suspiciously, not understanding why he was so confident.
Magisters have always been the top combat power on this continent, and in the wars in the history of Sainz Continent, as long as either of the warring sides can have more mages at the level of Great Mage, it is enough to decide the outcome of a battle.
And once even the Magus appeared, it would be enough to tip the scales of this battle in favor of the side with the Magister.
The reason why the Maro Empire and the Candela Empire have been able to stand on the Sainz continent for so many years is that in addition to their own national strength remaining absolutely strong most of the time, when they are in decline, there will also be a magister in charge, so that other countries cannot really defeat them has a lot to do with it.
The tradition that Magisters should not participate in invading other nations at the beginning of their establishment ensured that the two empires could not easily invade other countries, but also allowed them to stand.
But this tradition is just an unwritten rule commonly known as a convention, and if the Maro Empire really breaks this tradition, the entire continent will not be able to restrain it except for the Candela Empire and the Magic Kingdom of Mana, which has the third largest number of Magisters.
This time, the Candela Empire and the Maro Empire are extremely rare to unite, and even unite with the Mana Wizard Kingdom and other countries to declare war on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which makes the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce camp most worried about the problem of the other party in case the other party will send a Magus to participate in the invasion war.
Although the other side has not meant to break this tradition so far, there is no guarantee that the other party will never do so.
After all, even the almost impossible thing like the two empires joining forces has happened, and it is not completely impossible for other incredible things to happen.
However, now Xu Yi said to Archduke Caroline that the role of the Magister in the war was very limited, and it didn't matter if the Marlo Empire really dispatched the Magister, which made the Grand Duke Caroline incomprehensible for a while.
"Let me tell you the truth, Caroline, the ultimate goal of our chamber of commerce's research and development of this urban defense system is actually the magister in case of a possible appearance. For any regular army of the two empires, in fact, even if you don't include our New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort, even your own army of the Duchy of Drar is not very afraid, is it?"
"Hmm......" Archduke Caroline nodded slightly.
Previously, when the Duchy of Drach and the army of the Kingdom of Lampari fought against the combined forces of the Maro Empire and the Frankish Kingdom, the other side had no power to fight back on the frontal battlefield.
Under the huge gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides, the so-called disparity in strength is simply insignificant.
In fact, even if it does not join forces with the Lampari Kingdom, with the army owned by the Duchy of Draco itself, not to mention the regular army of the Marlo Empire, at least there will be no pressure on the army of the Frankish Kingdom.
"So, the reason why I will assist you in building this urban defense system in this city of Dor not far from the border of the Maro Empire this time is to defend against the possible attack of the Maro Empire, and even to defend against the possible appearance of the Magister. Xu also continued. "Think about it, if even the Magister can't take this city, what do you think the Maro Empire will think, and what will the other countries on the continent think?"
Grand Duke Caroline thought for a moment, then smiled.
"If even the Magister can't do anything about us, it means that this land will truly fall into the hands of our Duchy of Drake, and no one will be able to take it away. ”
"That's right. At that time, you will no longer be just the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Draco, but Her Majesty the Queen of the Kingdom of Delaco. Xu Yi said with a smile. (To be continued......)
