Chapter 1073: War Machine (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Lorraine looked up, and the fortress of war in front of him was indeed a sight to behold.
I saw that it was a whole size bigger than the stupid and thick black war fortress of the original Demon Clan, and it also became taller Cui Wei. When you get to it, you need to raise your head and look up to see the top building of the war fortress.
Although it was parked on the ground, it was like a terrifying prehistoric beast, majestic, and full of an almost suffocating sense of oppression.
Standing at its feet, Lorraine found that the entire war fortress was more like a widened fusiform, and the base was no longer square.
For the fortress, this shape seems to be inferior in terms of side defense, but correspondingly, the front defense is much stronger than the original.
Limited by the huge consumption of magic crystals, the war fortress of the demon clan is mainly used as a fortress of the 1073rd chapter of the war machine qì (asking for a monthly pass). They often fly to one place and then stop on the ground for use as a fortress. Cut off the enemy's supply lifeline, or outflank the enemy's retreat.
And in order to resist the war fortress of the demons and counteract the enemy's advantage, the mission of the war fortress of the human race is no longer aimed at ground targets like those war fortresses of the demons.
More often than not, it serves as a bulwark against the enemy, so this design is undoubtedly more reasonable.
Moreover, compared to before, this shape, when flying, is undoubtedly the most conducive to breaking through the air to fly. The speed of flight is also much faster than that of the demons.
It can be seen that Lorina has really put a lot of thought into this regard.
"I designed it myself~!" said Florina, with a touching light on her pretty face.
A few girls next to him couldn't help but exclaim and praise at the same time.
"Lorina, you're amazing. ”
"Sister Lorena, you're amazing. ”
Lorena smiled a little shyly and said modestly, "It's nothing... It's just a random design, and it's like this if you're not careful, it's just a little meaning, a little meaning. Oh hehehe......"
The people next to him were speechless for a while. Everyone couldn't figure it out... Is this aunt being modest, or is she showing off?
Lorena pulled Lorraine and proudly introduced, "My design is good, isn't it? According to the grapevine, my design has been decided... Winner of this year's Magical Society Top 10 Outstanding Design Award, as well as a Lifetime Achievement Award. ”
"Ahem, ahem, ahem.................." Lester coughed loudly in the background.
Lorina couldn't help but spit out her tongue, and then continued: "Of course, I am only the first designer, and there are two teachers and Great Wizards of Osid behind me. We are a team... When the time comes, we will come to the stage together to receive the award."
Everyone immediately came to their senses, and they all let out a loud 'oh, 'Oh'.
Whether it is Lorraine, Catherine, or Adele, they all have received a complete university education, and they are clear about this thesis, academic achievements, or something.
The two old guys, Lester and Osied, must have hitched a ride on Lorina... After seeing the results, he ran over and signed his name in the back, and then took the opportunity to make a lot of money.
Lorraine hates this kind of academic bullying the most... scolded in my heart: These two old shameless ones.
But what if you know?
No one can provoke a student of this magnitude. At the very least, people rely on the old and sell the old to say: can the growth of whoever and everyone be separated from our careful cultivation and teaching for so many years?
Or just don't go with your face open, the tiger's body is shocked, and the spirit of the king is scattered: who is not convinced, just stand up.
I turned him into a toad and made him lie in the ditch for three days... Seeing who else is not convinced, although Lorraine is clear in his heart, he still has to accompany the smiling face on the surface and congratulate the master of the school.
Lester looked at Lorraine's expression, and immediately became angry, and shouted angrily: "Bastard~! What do you mean by those eyes... What do you mean?
Bastard~!
We all contributed to the design and construction of this war fortress, from beginning to end. ”
Everyone hurriedly echoed at the moment, and shouted comfortingly: "Yes, yes, your old man has worked hard, hard..................
Then who is not sensible, you have a lot, don't be like him. ”
Lorraine ignored their nonsense, pointed to the curved base of the war fortress like the bow of the ship, and said to Lorraine proudly: "This is based on the aerodynamic principle you said In the first two months, we have implemented a variety of base shapes, and found that this kind of curved base is the most suitable for flying." After my teacher's argument, we finally decided to finalize the production. ”
Lester immediately caught the reason, and said loudly on the side: "Did you hear it, did you hear it?
Adele smiled, walked over and hugged Lester's arm, and said, "Grandpa, it's okay." Ignore him. This guy has pink eye, and he's jealous of your talent. Don't be like him......"
As she spoke, Xiu's eyes blinked slightly, and she cast an apologetic glance at Lorraine.
Lester didn't pay attention to the small movements behind her back at all, and after listening to her words, he froze for a moment, and then suddenly realized. He glanced at Lorraine with disdain: No wonder. I said, how he picks thorns. So that's the case~!
Although I still feel that something is wrong, my mind is much more balanced.
Lorina sighed lightly with a little regret at this time, and then introduced to Lorraine: "Originally, you could have added the lift body wings you mentioned, but to build about a hundred war fortresses in a year, the progress is too rushed.
That kind of structure is still in the real yàn, the real yàn results are very good, can save half of the consumption when flying, the current difficulty is how to install them. ”
Lorraine nodded thoughtfully, he was quite satisfied with the current situation, in fact, he didn't have much hope for the design of the transformation. It's just that I hope they can replicate the war fortress, and it's already good.
Unexpectedly, Lorena actually overfulfilled the task.
This guy is becoming more and more like a super-sized seaplane, and Lorraine remembers that the Spruce Goose weighs nearly two hundred tons and can carry up to seven hundred people, which is more than a war fortress.
Lorraine dragged Lorraine all the way into the interior of the war fortress, which was different from the dark and obscure inside the demon war fortress, it was bright and transparent, and the sunlight shone in through the windows in different positions, refreshing and dry.
The hallways are marked with eye-catching signs indicating the location of the lead, and the freshly painted walls are clean and smooth... In the corner, there is also a piece of greenery, which is full of life.
The eerie and terrifying style of the Demon War Fortress has been changed here, just like a beautiful villa.
Catherine and the others let out a burst of exclamation, as the prototype of the war fortress people always feel extremely depressed inside... After all, the undead don't like sunlight.
But it's a place where you can't want to leave.
Adele sighed with emotion: "If there is such a house, how nice it would be, I will build it into a beautiful aerial garden." ”
Several girls were also quite excited, and they longed for such a house in their hearts.
After Xiaobai followed Leo in, the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of the green plants in the corner of the wall for the first time, and the green was as dazzling as the sun to it.
Xiaobai raised his nose and screamed excitedly, spread his feet and rushed to him, his nose rolled... He uprooted most of the plants and sent them into his big mouth, squinting his eyes and enjoying the food in his mouth.
Although the winter in the south of the Almohads is not too cold, there is no fruit to suit the appetite of the little white.
Uncle Xiaobai has a very good appetite now, and he doesn't eat fresh fruits. In recent months, Xiaobai's stomach has been bitter. Suddenly seeing a cluster of delicious green plants, Xiao Bai's happy eyes were about to fall.
Leo hurriedly jumped away, far away from Xiaobai, pulling Rowina's clothes... said with a slanderous face: "Sister Rollina, you don't have to give me face, you can just deduct it from Xiaobai's food expenses." ”
Xiaobai was stunned when he heard this, his nose rolled up with a large handful of plants... Then with a stretch of his nose poked them back into the huā basin, and as if nothing had happened, his eyes rolled upward, pretended to whistle, and arched into the crowd again.
"Go," Rollena angrily pushed Leo's head and said, "I don't have time to take care of you."
The little kid went playing. ”
Lorraine led Lorraine and them to the powerhouse in the center, pointed to the obelisk-like building that pierced through several floors of cabins, and said, "This war fortress is the third generation of the modified No. 1 machine. In the process of taking charge of the power source, we have to admire the use of the magic circle by the war fortress... It has reached the point of subtlety-nuance.
I now believe that rumor that the War Fortress should be the product of the Abyss Demon Clan left in the human world during the War of the Gods.
Mankind's study of magic is nowhere near this height. At the current rate, perhaps in the next thousand years, human mages will be able to reach that height.
But thank you, Master Osied. He also succeeded in simplifying the power system of the demons. ”
From the bottom and further up, know the upper part of the entire war fortress... It is a weapons room with a turret installed.
Lorraine walked around the weapons room and opened the windows on all four sides to have a good shooting range in the room.
Around the weapons room, two guns are placed on each side, and the base of the guns is fixed to a circular guide rail, and the wheels can move quickly 360 degrees inside the room.
For this ingenious design, Lorraine also has to praise it.
When firing at one side, eight guns are used in rotation, some of which are fired, some are on standby, and some are loaded, which can be like a platoon of guns, so that the attack is continuous and the fire is continuous.
When surrounded, it is possible to fire from all sides at the same time.
Luo Lina patted the dark barrel of the cannon and said with emotion: "After in-depth research, we understand that it is not the power source that restricts the speed of the demon race to create a war fortress.
As long as the circle is engraved according to the blueprints and enough hedron is provided, the war fortress will be able to fly. Although it is not too easy.
But what mainly restricts the Demon War Fortress is the magic guide cannon. ”
Lorraine scratched his head in confusion, Lorraine really didn't know much about magic, for him, the knowledge in it was like a high number.
Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Lorina explained with a smile: "The materials of the magic guide cannon need to be refined repeatedly to remove impurities, because these impurities will limit the transmission of magic power, and the magic guide cannon must reach an extremely high purity before it can be used. Now the number of magic guide cannons on the continent can be counted on one hand.
After discussing it with my teacher, I simply gave up the magic cannon and switched to artillery. This not only saves a lot of money, but also does not slow down the project. ”
"Oh" Lorraine nodded, rubbed her hands and smiled, "Just save money." ”
It's no wonder that the necromancers are only equipped with one magic cannon in the huge fortress of war.
Lorraine had always wondered before, in that space... It's no problem to accommodate four or five guns at the same time, and the design of the demons is equivalent to a large cart to resist small cannons, limiting the power of the war fortress.
Of course, in the days when the necromancers monopolized the fortress of war... People don't care about the size of the power, if the power is small, just fire a few more shots, anyway, the war fortress has no natural enemies, and you can abuse them at will on the top of the enemy's head.
Lester snorted coldly with his chest puffed out to show his save.
Lorraine nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you Master for your hard work." ”
For the sake of the harmony of his harem, Lord Maurolin of Lester must also be smoothed.
"It's good that you know. Lester dragged.
Lorraine smiled: "You are also contributing to all mankind. ”
I gave Lester a certain high hat.
Lester smiled reservedly... Waving his hand, he said, "Compared to the peace of all mankind, this is nothing, it is really nothing." Hehe, hehehe.................."
Lorraine pursed her lips, her beard almost cocked.
"Let's go, I'll take you back. I've heard about Edin Island as well. Lorenca said.
Lorraine shook her head, rubbed her chin and said, "No hurry... We still have a mission?"
"Huh?"
Lorraine pointed south and said, "Take a circle around Haligard's head and say hello to Haddou." ”
Lester stroked his beard and nodded... Said: "That's right, Hadu actually colluded with the demon clan to cause trouble to the human race, it's just scum." ”
Lester originally had a good impression of Haddou, who also started from a commoner and became the world's leading figure, in this world monopolized by nobles, Lester had a sense of identity with him in his heart, and felt that this person was good.
Even if he is a rebel and wants the emperor or something, it is nothing. But colluding with the demons to attack Edin Island... This is a big taboo.
Although human beings are very forgetful many times. For example, when you owe someone money. But for that holy war, although a thousand years have passed, the human race will not forget that painful war.
Haddou has come to this point, although Lord Luo has played a lot of roles in the middle. But at this time, he also said with emotion: "People who are dying and struggling... There will always be any straw that will be saved. ”
The crowd chatted a few more words. Immediately, a squad of staff officers was called into the war fortress by Lorraine.
Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of thousands of peacekeepers, the war fortress rose from the ground and slowly floated towards the city of Haligard at a height of more than 100 meters above the ground.
The staff officers' job was to draw a topographical map of the city of Haligard below from the air.
For this reason, Lorence deliberately controlled her speed and moved southward little by little.
Lorraine stood in the wide window and looked down, and at this height, the vast city of Haligard could be seen in full view.
Outside the city were dense black lines, which were wide trenches.
After more than ten days of hard work, the new army can fill a corner of the entire defense system, and at this progress, I don't know if it will be done until the Year of the Monkey.
The war fortress slowly flew directly above the walls of Haligard, and after repeated bombardment by the artillery of the peacekeeping forces, the walls of Haligad were still strong, which made a cadre of the peacekeepers and others very Chilorin could see from the air, the walls of Haligad were increased to several meters wide, no wonder the artillery could not bombard them.
However, the walls of the city were full of gaps blown out by cannonballs, jagged, like bones that had been gnawed by dogs.
The once beautiful Haligard was now empty, and the wide street was bleak, and there was no sign of anyone moving at all.
Lorraine suddenly pointed down and said to Lorina, "Lower the height." ”
The war fortress was lowered to a point of sixty-seven meters above the ground.
Lorraine shook his head and said, "It's not enough, go a little further." ”
The busy staff officer next to him said loudly: "My lord, it will not be safe to descend again." ”
Now the war fortress is already within the range of the bow and arrow on the ground.
What's more, this is Haddou's territory, and there are magicians and knights in the enemy army. If someone rushes in, all of them will be taken prisoner.
"It's okay," Lorraine waved his hand and said, "It's actually better to be able to draw out the enemy's attack." ”
Lorina smiled slightly, and the manipulation of the war fortress was lowered again, she had absolute local confidence in Lorraine, and knew that Lorraine would never come nonsense.
The war fortress was lowered to a level height with the spire of the cathedral in the city, twenty or thirty meters above the ground.
Lorraine stood in front of the window, and even the doors and windows on the ground could be seen clearly.
All the doors and windows on the street were tightly closed, and there was no sign of human activity at any time, and some of the houses were damaged, showing no signs of repair, apparently uninhabited for a long time.
Several parts of the city have been blown to rubble by the artillery of the peacekeepers, and there are valuable targets in the city of Haligard, either as garrison posts, government offices or warehouses.
Even the nearby houses were burned down.
The streets were covered with yellow leaves, and a gust of wind blew, and the leaves swirled with the cold wind, and it was as desolate as a ghost town.
The war fortress floated over the outer city and flew over the walls into the sky above the inner city.
Due to the limited range of the artillery, the scenery in front of you is different from the ruins of the outer city that have collapsed and burned down after being ravaged by artillery fire, and it is still exquisite and gorgeous, especially the view of the courtyard in the center. It was supposed to be Haddou's mansion. It's just that at this time, there is no figure in the city at all.
Lorraine looked around, and the whole city was bleak.
Lorraine bowed slightly, the once prosperous Haligard, a famous city on the mainland, and the residence of 500,000 people, was slowly dying under the siege of the peacekeeping forces.
"It's like Haddou," Lorraine said to herself.
The defeat in the city of Haligard made Lorraine let go of the last worries in his heart.
Lorraine personally watched this trip to personally assess whether Haddou still had the possibility of turning the tide of the battle.
The situation of Haligad shows that the Southern Army is at the end of its rope, and if there is no external force, it is only a matter of time before they will die.
Relieved of her last worries, Lorraine can leave the peacekeepers and capture the infiltrated lichs. !!!
