On October 1st, 313 in the imperial calendar, at the army exercise ground on the outskirts of the imperial capital of the Felix Empire, the emperor Victor VI, the crown prince Danny, the fifth prince William, the ninth princess Roni, Marshal Möngke, who specially rushed back from the frontline battlefield, and Grand Duke Philip and other high-ranking military officials gathered together to watch the latest cutting-edge weapons that the imperial army was about to equip.

"Your Majesty is ready, can you start?"

As the commander-in-chief of the exercise, the developer of cutting-edge weapons, and a friend of the Nine Princesses Roni, who had been lurking in Ouyang Yu's army for several months, Jesse Law Cruze asked Victor VI.

"Let's get started. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Three red flares flew into the sky, and then a huge steel monster entered everyone's field of vision, this steel monster has a pair of large feet with anti-joints, supporting the manned control compartment with clear water chestnuts above, and many weapons are loaded around the control compartment, no arms, and it looks like the ancient monster has been resurrected from a distance.

Jesse explained to Victor VI and the others at the same time as the Iron Monster appeared: " This is our army's latest development of the Walker medium bipedal mecha, using a large number of ancient technology, the Walker mecha is three meters high, 2.8 meters wide, weighs 23 tons, equipped with a 75 mm high-energy magic crystal cannon, a sixteen rocket launch nest, and two 20 mm magic crystal cannons, full of firepower, when marching long distances, use the tracks behind the feet, the tracks are retracted when fighting, use flexible bipedal travel, and the mobility is much higher than the magic energy tanks in service in our army. While Jesse was explaining, the Walker mech had already walked to the middle of the exercise ground, ready to take its seat.

Marshal Möngke, who was experienced on the battlefield, pointed to the seemingly thin armor of the walker and asked, "The weight of twenty-three tons plus such a large volume is too thin." ”

Jesse smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll find out if you look at it." ”

Three FT-4 medium three-turret cruisers, the most advanced of the Imperial Army, drove to a distance of two or three hundred meters from the Pacers and stopped. Then they lined up and aimed all nine magic crystal cannons at the walkers.

"Attack!"

With Jesse's order. Three FT-4s launched a heavy artillery fire on the walkers. The walker stood still and did not move, and after the end of the shelling, the smoke cleared, and the walker appeared in front of everyone seemingly unscathed, except for the scorched black caused by the explosion, the external armor was only dented a little, and was not penetrated by the magic bullet.

Archduke Philip held up his binoculars and asked, "What kind of armor is this, which doesn't look very thick but is so hard?"

"Demon Seeper Armor. Jesse replied proudly: "What blocked the shelling just now was the ancient alchemy infiltrating metal that had taken more than ten years to restore by the research institute, and this metal had good magical and physical defense capabilities. It is about twice as hard as ordinary metal armor, and it is very light in weight and more malleable. ”

"I see. "Archduke Philip was very interested in this new invention.

"Let's take a look at the firepower of the Pacers. ”

Five more FT-1 light tanks drove on the exercise ground, and after the tank stopped, the driver inside quickly left the tank, and the walkers, who were hundreds of meters away, adjusted the angle of the control compartment, and the two 20mm cannons installed on the left and right of the control compartment let out a roar, and the dense shells in the conspicuous blue flames shot the two FT-1 tanks into a sieve.

"Huh, how do the weapons attack similar to those of the Federation Army?"

Faced with Grand Duke Philip's question again, Jesse explained: "Our army's previous small-caliber weapons only relied solely on magic energy, and although the lethality was sufficient, the penetration was insufficient. And there is also a lot of magic crystals consumed, so the research institute has studied and analyzed the captured federal weapons. A similar weapon was copied, and the working principle, firing mechanism, etc. were similar, the only difference was that the bullet could not be replicated for the time being****** However, the institute has improved the gunpowder formula used by the ancient alchemists, and also added the powder of the scrapped magic crystal as an accelerant, the effect is better than that of the federal army, so it intends to carry out a comprehensive refitting and modification of the current weapons and equipment of the imperial army, so that the empire's demand for magic crystals will be greatly reduced, although the need for several resources has been increased, but compared with the consumption of a large number of magic crystals, the empire's military expenditure will drop a lot. ”

While Jesse was talking to Grand Duke Philip, the Pacers' attack continued, after destroying two tanks with a cannon, the Walker controlled the rocket launch nest in the right rear of the warehouse, fired several 57mm rockets, and destroyed two tanks, the same as the blue flame emitted by the muzzle of the machine gun, the tail flame of the rocket and the flame generated by the explosion were also blue, and then the 75mm high-energy magic crystal cannon behind the left side of the walker control compartment also fired, unlike the previous magic crystal cannon of the Imperial Army, the high-energy magic crystal cannon fired not a magic bullet, but a high-energy magic beam, and the red beam directly vaporized the armor of the FT-1 tank, from the front armor shot into the rear armor, leaving two holes the size of a basketball, the steel plates around the holes even turned orange because of the extremely high temperature, and from time to time there was a drop of molten steel, which showed the power of the high-energy magic beam.

"Good!" Victor VI stood up from his seat laughing, "Order the Ordnance Department to purchase these weapons as soon as possible to reequip the troops, and I want to see the Empire's army sweep across the Eastern Continent again next spring!"

On the same day, many high-ranking officials of the coalition army came to a secret underground base in the Kadesh Kingdom, which is the asset of the Federation, and is responsible for the research and development and manufacture of various advanced weapons and equipment.

"Gentlemen, welcome to Base Zero, where you will see weapons that can change the shape of warfare. Azrael, like a salesman, walked up to an object covered in a thick canvas.

"Whoa!"

The canvas was pulled down, and a seven-meter-tall steel giant appeared in front of everyone.

"Now I'm going to ask the inventor of this weapon to explain. ”

A beautiful little Lori with silver hair and red eyes, who looked like she was only twelve or thirteen years old, walked out from behind the Iron Giant.

"Let me introduce first, this sister-in-law is the director of weapons research and development of this base, and I can't tell you her name, you can call her code name, Raphael. (Welcome a funny rabbit to the group.) (To be continued.) )
