By the time Tallinnham arrived at the king's side, exhausted, there were already more than a dozen dukes, counts, and a large number of lords of the realm. The king motioned for Tallinnham to come over and attend the impromptu meeting. Before they even set up their tents, they improvised the meeting on a battlefield full of corpses.

Tarynham walked over covered in wounds, "Look, this is the real Bretonnian Knight, devoted, loyal, brave, sacrificed. Even if you fall off the horse and are in danger, you still don't flinch. The goddess of the lake blesses such a person, look at him. I remembered my father's last words, Lord Berto was a lord of noble character, and his heir must be too. ”

As soon as Tallinnham squeezed into the crowd, he was publicly praised by King Charles II, and he couldn't help but be a little flattered. However, not every lord cast a respectful glance at him. Tallinnam knew that this was caused by his own birth, even if he was the designated heir, even if he was blessed by the goddess of the lake, but after all, he was not from a traditional aristocratic background, and the people who had the right to participate in the king's council were all the nobles of Bretonnia, who had a prominent family.

But Tallinnam didn't matter, he just carried out the will of the king, obeyed the call of the goddess, and that's it. For the rest, he doesn't really care what others think.

"We continue. Where did you just go?"

King Victor Charles asked left and right. Apparently, the meeting was interrupted by the arrival of Tallinnam. It should be said that the meeting began before he came.

"Orcs, orcs have been battered. ”

Duke Bagnesto took the king's words and said.

"Yes, the orcs have been battered. The king said, drawing his sword and pointing at the filthy land on the map, "Scouts' information - all the orcs and goblins come from here, Mount Oka has long been the largest greenskinned nest in Bretonnia, and now that Greenskins have been battered, we must seize this opportunity to take this fortress in one fell swoop." ”

The king's tone was so firm that one wondered whether he had summoned his ministers for a meeting, or had he just given orders to them?

Tallinnam was a little worried, his knights had lost more than half of their knights in this bloody battle, and it would take at least half a month for new troops to arrive at the front line. Is it wise to continue the war without stopping in such a miserable situation, but he is only thinking about it, and as a vassal, he must carry out the king's will.

After Victor finished speaking, he saw that everyone on the field had different expressions. Duke Banesto was full of confidence and high morale. The other dukes, however, remained silent. Tallinnham knew that, like himself, they had suffered heavy losses in this Armageddon. The soldiers were scarred and exhausted. After all, people are not machines, they need to rest and replenish. However, the king did not mean to delay for a moment.

"There are a lot of wounded, and it slows down the march. Moreover, the knights were exhausted, and another rapid march would inevitably lead to a decrease in combat effectiveness. ”

Count Polport protested.

This says what Tallinnham wanted to say but didn't dare to say. At the same time, Tallinnham also knows that this is also the heart of most of his colleagues. However, the king does not seem to have any intention of making a change. From his unhappy face, Tallinnam read resoluteness, even stubbornness.

"Boom, my knights, the night may be cold, but the sun will rise as usual. At dawn, crush our enemies and uproot the orc lair that has plagued Bretonnia for centuries. Stability in the territory will be guaranteed for decades to come. Work harder, persevere, and we will fulfill the unfulfilled wishes of our ancestors. ”

The king was so determined and ambitious that many could not say it, though they complained in their hearts. After all, their king led them to victory on the battlefield, and Victor was so brave that he rushed to the front and faced the beasts of prey. Even the goddess of the lake blessed him, and what else could the people say? To oppose the king is to be an enemy of the goddess.

"Father...... I've found you. Why are you here?"

When Dennis walked in in a lace crystal robe, Rhodes was standing in the machine room with a group of Imperial engineers, looking at a pile of machine parts. It was a helicopter bought from the dwarves. It's just that it was dismantled by Rhodes...... Part......

"The main dismantling is the fuel tank part, and those dwarves are stubbornly unwilling to change, so let's change it for them. This machine is a big killer, but it needs more fuel to last. ”

Standing in front of a pile of mechanical parts, Rod said with interest. Unaware of the fact that Dennis, the Queen's daughter, had appeared behind him.

"Father?"

Dennis walked over with a confused expression, and the engineers of the empire hurriedly gave way to the beautiful Queen of Kislev. Only Rod turned around and glanced at his daughter lightly.

"Well, here you are. ”

Rod greeted calmly-

"I'm asking them to study this machine, the dwarves are too stubborn, I need a bomber that is really combative, not scrap metal that can only smoke white smoke and walk around without fuel. ”

"It's good to let your subordinates do this kind of thing, why do you have to command it yourself, so worried about ......"

The daughter was a little puzzled, with a hint of displeasure on her face. Obviously, she still didn't want her father to go out in a dirty place like the factory.

But Ruder Finn doesn't care what the environment is, the factory is like this, industrial waste is generated all the time, and it is impossible to ensure that it is clean.

"Hehe, you may not have such a deep understanding of this. So I don't understand why I attach so much importance to it. The power of science and technology is our only hope for survival. ”

Rhodes said—

"Back then, before the Great Wall of the North was built, the northern Norsca tribes invaded on a large scale. The barbarian army of tens of thousands marched all the way south. And the Ice Queen Catalina turned a blind eye to this, and could only rely on the people of the North to organize the defense. You know, at that time, the combined strength of the three northern cities was less than two thousand. We temporarily recruited many farmers as soldiers. But the total number of troops was still less than 3,000. Face the bloodthirsty northern barbarians. In the end, we relied on nothing else, but new artillery purchased from an arms dealer in the Southern Kingdom. That is, the cannon cannon that is now placed on the tower of the city defense of Erengrad. ”

"The power of technology is enough to turn the tide of battle. In the future chaos invasion, relying only on cold weapons, mankind will lose. We need a brand new legion, a legion with firearms as powerful as the Empire. Even, more than them. Relying on high walls and technology, there is hope to withstand the tide of doom. So, at the moment, the focus of all my work will be on this one. ”

"So, is there any progress?"

Dennis nodded as if he didn't understand and asked.

"Not yet. Not to mention anything else, but the dwarves made all kinds of original parts of the helicopter, and the Imperial engineers were puzzled. Not to mention solving problems. You have to wait until they figure out what these parts do, and then they can really get into the research work. In fact, the biggest technical problem is not this. It's about how to solve the problem of combustion temperature in the inner cylinder. As far as I know, almost all of the dwarven machines burn alcohol. If you switch to using coal water as fuel, although it can make the machine run longer, but when the coal water is burned, it will produce high temperatures, which is likely to cause the inner cylinder wall to be unable to withstand it. However, if the dwarves refuse to provide the alloy technology, or if they are unable to develop a metal with a higher melting point as a manufacturing material, then the improvement of various machines will inevitably not be successfully completed, and this is the problem that worries me the most. ”

Rhodes said.

Dennis heard it in a fog, but still nodded knowingly. As long as her father said it, she believed it......
