Chapter 55: Preparation
Although the City of Parliament has declared war on Thunder Bluff, it has not actually sent any troops at this time. After all, the object of their battle is not ordinary monsters, and all kinds of necessary preparations still need to be made.
Compared with the one-man decision of Thunder Cliff, the council city has very cumbersome steps for war, and the approval of various war materials needs to be approved by the city council before it can be implemented. As a parliamentary city, the entanglement of various interests will tie them down, and delay the opportunity to go to war.
Thunder Cliff did not plan to take the initiative to attack, but stationed near Lobito, constantly building this defense and a large number of traps to supplement the lack of combat power of the monster army. Since Thunder Cliff basically had no intention of clashing with the Salts of Elam, some of the garrison equipment was kept at a relatively low limit.
Some guard gear is currently being produced, as well as replacement armor and weapons for the monster army on the front line. As a result, the export of weapons from Thunder Cliffs has declined, and the trade of many Salt villages has been affected, which has made them a little dissatisfied with the Parliament City that started the war.
The reason why the defense line was chosen near Lobito was not only because it was the only way to get to Thunder Bluff from Parliament City, but also because of the cave assassins scattered around it, as well as some monsters that were not powerful but were very troublesome, which gave the Monster Legion a good environmental advantage.
They can replenish some soldiers on the spot when they are fighting. Although it has not been trained, it is enough to use it as cannon fodder with goblins.
And just when both sides were preparing for battle, Mo Yan began to get upset. His annoyance was not because of this senseless war, but because the internal combustion engine he made was a complete waste. The internal combustion engine, which was originally intended to be powered by alcohol, was able to work for a while at the beginning of the experiment, but after a while, it stopped cooking, and it was a bit too reluctant to use alcohol as fuel.
Moreover, Mo Yan miscalculated the yield of alcohol, and the method of using glassware to purify alcohol obviously could not form a certain yield, and the amount of grain collected was far lower than expected. This makes the internal combustion engine as a power source completely unusable.
It took so much effort to solve the problem of no rubber, and let Ruiz use plastic magic to make glassware, but he got such an ending, Mo Yan felt that it was a waste of time he had spent so long. But fortunately, in order to teach the gray dwarf, Mo Yan also made a steam engine by the way.
This thing can barely make do, if you can expand the output of steelmaking, maybe you can get a steam train or something, and there are still a lot of coal resources in Elam. Although he didn't know how the train was composed, Mo Yan believed that with his own intelligence, he could still figure it out. After all, he used to major in mechanics, and the steam engine was already a thing of the last century.
Just when Mo Yan was sulking in the villa because of the failure of the internal combustion engine, the black dragon who went to watch the hunt came back. Not only that, but he also brought back a flock of monsters with bird wings and legs, human bodies and heads, something that the Salts called human-faced birds. Hundreds of human-faced birds followed the black dragon and flew mightily, making the sky of Thunder Cliff lively.
"Why is it so noisy?" Mo Yan, who was carving a statue for himself with a carving knife in order to divert his attention, heard the birds that suddenly began to grow bigger, and said angrily: "Let the goblins guarding the city shoot those birds down for me!"
"It's the black dragon that's back. Vivian, who was idly watching Mo Yan's carving, walked to the window and looked at the sky outside the window and said, "And he also brought a lot of monsters like birds." ”
"Jones?" Mo Yan came to the window, looked at the human-faced bird in the sky who didn't wear a single piece of clothing except feathers, and said with some surprise: "Could it be that these are the girls Jones is looking for? Hundreds at a time are really worthy of dragons, it seems that there is another subdragon species on the mainland." At that time, the black dragon seemed to have arranged the human-faced bird, and flew down towards Mo Yan's villa.
"Let's go check it out. Mo Yan threw aside the carving knife in his hand, and said without paying attention to the half-carved statue: "These monsters can become, very good air power." ”
"The master! Jones, who transformed into a human form and entered Mo Yan's villa, troted all the way through the house, his white feet slamming the wooden floor.
"I'm here. Mo Yan, who heard Jones's shouting, replied helplessly: "Also, don't run around the house anymore." You're going to stomp the floor. ”
Hearing Mo Yan's answer, the bang immediately approached the second floor where Mo Yan was. When Mo Yan walked to the office, Jones, who ran up the stairs, suddenly threw himself into Mo Yan's arms, rubbed his head in Mo Yan's arms and said, "Do you miss me, master!"
"No!" Mo Yan pushed Jones out of his arms and said unceremoniously, feeling annoyed by Jones's behavior Mo Yan, as an upright male surname. It was difficult for Mo Yan to accept Jones's intimate move, and the reason why Jones was allowed to watch the hunt of the Second Legion was also to break away from Jones's good morning hug and good night hug!
"Master, are you angry. Looking at Mo Yan's behavior, Yingying's tears appeared in Jones's eyes, making her look pitiful. But obviously such a trick no longer works, for Mo Yan, who has already understood the acting skills of the black dragon, such pretending to be pitiful can be said to be the norm of the black dragon.
"Okay. But although he understood this situation, Mo Yan still couldn't really harden his heart to Jones, who had a cute appearance, and said a little helplessly: "There is a little bit, just a little miss." Especially when the war is about to start, it will be much more convenient to have a black dragon to help. ”
"Hehe, I like the master the most!" Hearing what he wanted to hear, the tears in Jones's eyes quickly disappeared at the end of the galaxy, and he rushed towards Mo Yan again.
"I've said it many times! Don't hug me casually!" Mo Yan unceremoniously pressed the head of Jones who pounced on him, keeping her outside beyond the length of Mo Yan's arm and said, "Also, explain to me what is going on with those ** monsters outside? They are flying around in the sky naked, which affects the cityscape of Thunder Cliff!"
"Those are the human-faced birds I found in the mountains to the north. Jones, who was held down by Mo Yan, was a little unwilling, and gave up the idea of jumping into Mo Yan's arms again and replied: "I went to a walk in the mountains when the Second Legion was preparing in the swamp, and I just remembered that the master said that there were no flying monsters in the Thunder Cliff, so I grabbed their queen by the way and subdued them. ”
"Flying monsters, aren't you? Mo Yan looked at Jones, who was about to praise me, and laughed and said, "If there is a human-faced bird, what do I want the black dragon to do?"
"People aren't monsters!" Hearing Mo Yan's words, Jones said angrily: "As the greatest immortal species in the Hill Continent, how can things like human-faced birds be compared to the dragon clan! I'll go out and burn them right now! Thunder Cliff only needs the protection of the dragon clan!"
"Come back. Mo Yan grabbed Jones, who was running out, touched her head and said with a smile: "Since I brought it all back, it's too wasteful to burn to death." After all, you can't be in Thunder Cliff every day, so Thunder Cliff does lack flying monsters, although it's too late to train, but some simple things they should still be able to do. This time it's your credit. ”
"En's ......" was fascinated by Jones who was touching his head, and he enjoyed Mo Yan's touch like a small animal, and sometimes Jones really looked like a pet (positioning pets, probably)......
The City of Parliament didn't know that there was a black dragon in Thunder Bluff, or that the City of Parliament was unlucky. They had also sent other spies to Thunder Cliff to find out the strength of Thunder Cliff, but time was extremely clever to miss the appearance of the black dragon.
In the later investigation, although he also learned the news that a black dragon had appeared, he did not know that this black dragon had been subordinated to Mo Yan. And the residents of Thunder Bluff who know this have also spread some news to the outside world, but perhaps because of the prank of fate, these news have cleverly bypassed the ears and eyes of the Council City.
This made the Council City greatly underestimate the combat power of Thunder Cliff, if they learned of the existence of the Thunder Black Dragon. It would never be so reckless to declare war on Thunder Cliff, after all, the power of a black dragon is enough to break everything, all kinds of powerful magic and impenetrable scale armor, it will definitely be a nightmare for a legion that does not carry a special weapon against dragons.
And now that the wood is done, even if the council city learns the news, they can't stop. Otherwise, they will become the laughing stock of the entire Elam, and even make the Temple of War move away from this cowardly city. In any case, the outcome of this battle was already sealed before it even began.
