When she had finished her discussions with Belen and sent him out of the room, Lorraine found that it was already dark.

A bright red morning sun had appeared on the horizon, and Nedel City had awakened from the quiet sleep of the night, gradually becoming more and more noisy.

Although the weather was excellent today, a pale gray fog floated over the city, and there was an indescribable choking smell in the air.

The overnight night shift workers walked down from their respective posts tiredly, while the day shift workers walked into the workshop in high spirits, ready to start a busy day's work.

Breakfast is at its busiest on the street, and customers waiting for freshly baked bread can line up in front of the stalls.

The sound of selling, quarrels, the shouts of cattle, the wheels rolling over the stone road Chapter 1291 The puppet emperor (asking for a monthly ticket) Lu ...... A variety of sounds converged to form a loud noise that hung over the entire city.

If you're new to Nedel City and you're looking at it, you'll think that this up-and-coming city is no different from any other bustling city in the world. They all live the monotonous life of sunrise and sunset, which is the most common in this feudal era.

In fact, if you live in this city, you will find that the city has never fallen asleep since it entered the industrial age.

While many people fall asleep at night, the factories around Nedel City smoke billowing 24 hours a day, from morning to night, and then from night to morning.

The huge furnaces of the steel mills are filled with red-hot molten steel all year round. When the red-hot molten iron is poured, it looks like the eruption of hellish magma.

In addition to this, a wide variety of machines make deafening noises.

Even in the Governor's Palace, the whining of trains could be heard.

The train brought truckloads of coal and ore into Nedle, and at the same time brought more valuable manufactured goods, weapons made of standard parts, light and strong armor, and steel Chapter 1291 Puppet Emperor (asking for a monthly ticket) made of farm tools. Metal bolts and screws, new artillery, and even complete sets of steam engine equipment were shipped out.

They were shipped to Constantine and various major cities in the east of the Ruman Empire.

In the silence, the occasional tinkling sound from the steel mill can be heard.

Although all of these factories and enterprises are high energy consumption and high pollution. However, it also shows the unique strong and vigorous vitality of human society after entering the industrial age.

In the words of Lord Luo, there is no heavy pollution, there is no hazy weather that you can't see your fingers, and there is no society that explodes at 2:5 pm, can it still be called an industrial society?

Therefore, after Lord Luo sent Belen away. As usual, when he had nothing to do, he would stand in front of the window and look at the chimneys with billowing black smoke in the distance with a sense of accomplishment.

Although the horn of war has sounded, and the army of undead and demons has once again crossed the sea, the lord is not worried.

Although the High Priest of the Undead is a cow13, he is not a god, otherwise he would not have been defeated by humans in the War of Saint Defense.

And the lord has a big capitalist with a strong industry. He was a whole era ahead of him.

Although the high priest has been preparing for this war for a thousand years, mankind has also been preparing for a thousand years. And it has a strong industrial production capacity. The strength of the human race will inevitably fly several steps.

Thus, humanity may suffer heavy setbacks in the face of the death frenzy of the High Priest, but it will eventually win the war.

Just as Lorraine Hus was thinking, he heard the sound of footsteps.

Lorraine turned around and saw that the second master Leole was wearing pajamas and rubbing his eyes into the study.

Seeing a room full of people, the chairman of the Flying Eagle Group said "hey" in surprise and said, "You guys...... You wake up so early?"

Looking at Lorraine and Catherine's bloodshot eyes, Chairman Leo was stunned for a moment. Then he laughed and said, "You won't play until the middle of the night again......, will you?"

At this time, Chairman Leo suddenly felt a familiar pain coming from the back of his waist, and from this position, this strength, Chairman Leo did not need to look back. Hurriedly smiled and said, "Meilina, you also got up early." ”

There was a dissatisfied snort behind him, and Melina, who was dressed more beautiful than a doll, walked in with a dining cart like an adult, and when she walked past Leo, she pushed Leo hard with her head up and didn't look at it, and said, "Get out of the way." ”

Leo hurriedly jumped away.

Melina pushed the dining cart to everyone, then brought cups of hot tea and hot milk from the cart, handed them to Lorraine and Catherine one by one, and said, "Seeing that everyone hasn't slept all night, I have prepared some breakfast, hurry up and eat it while it's hot." ”

Catherine took a cup of hot tea, patted Melina approvingly, and smiled with satisfaction, "Our Melina is much more intimate than my stupid brother." ”

"I was really shot while lying down. Chairman Leo turned his face and muttered a few times, then looked at Lorraine and said, "Boss, you really haven't slept all night?"

Lorraine handed Leo the battle report of Maple Leaf Danlin, couldn't help but yawn, patted his lips and said, "Yes, we have been waiting for this all night." ”

Chairman Leo picked up the telegram and glanced at it, and then gloated: "The maple leaf danlin will be sad in the future." ”

"Oh," Catherine looked up at Leo and said, "Why do you say that?"

Leo flicked his finger and said, "It's so unclear, since you can't buy something for fifty yuan, you have to increase the price to a hundred."

The undead did not gnaw down with a hundred war fortresses, and they will definitely use two hundred in the future. Or even three hundred to gnaw on this hard bone.

The air battle of Maple Leaf Danlin will only become more and more difficult to fight in the future, and it depends on who can't hold on first in the end. ”

After hearing Lorraine's inference about the battle situation just now, Adele's worries have not decreased much, and she has been up and down.

She knew that Lorraine had a point.

The undead clan will not let go of the Maple Leaf Danlin, this time it didn't succeed, there will definitely be a next time, and going will be more intense than the first time.

Now listening to Leo's words, it seems to be stricter than expected, Adele couldn't sit still, looked at Lorraine, and said with concern: "Can we do something?"

Lorraine thought for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, and said, "It's too far away from us to reach the whip." Another air battle. The role that the Eagle Group can play is limited.

If it's a ground war, we can send the security forces to reinforce the Maple Leaf Danlin. ”

Leo thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Before the victory or defeat of the air battle is decided, they will not directly launch a ground battle against the Maple Leaf Danlin. ”

Adele couldn't help but let out a long sigh of disappointment. Let her sit in the back and watch the war of the Maple Leaf Danlin be sadder than she herself is in the Maple Leaf Danlin.

Catherine suddenly asked, "Doesn't our group still have a wing of war fortresses?"

Chairman Leo pursed his lips and said, "Most of them are strange experimental models and do not have air combat capabilities. ”

As he spoke, Chairman Leo raised his fingers and said, "A squadron is a professional bomber, not to mention slow. Not even a weapon for self-defense.

Another squadron was an air battleship with reinforced artillery. Those things are a money-burning thing, and they look like they're very powerful, but they don't really prove to be suitable for high-speed air combat.

Only one squadron is a high-altitude high-speed reconnaissance interceptor type with increased speed, but they are simply a bunch of little white faces in the air.

Protection is sacrificed for the sake of speed, which is not suitable for high-intensity, long-term air combat.

Moreover, we are still counting on this squadron for the air defense mission in the industrial center of Nai'an. ”

The war fortress made by the Eagle Group has been equipped with a lot of strange things. It is also given some different missions from other war fortresses, mainly to verify the combat effectiveness of various types of aircraft.

The Alchemy Research Institute has a special department that studies these things, and a bunch of guys with bad tastes disassemble and assemble different weapons on it all day long.

Catherine listened. I could only shake my head helplessly.

"We can't have an accident in Naian" Chairman Leo threw the telegram, put his hands behind his back, and said leisurely with his stomach straight: "If our arsenal in Naian is gone, this war will be fought for five more years, to say the least."

Now the undead have not woken up, and they don't know the true strength of our Ney. ”

Chairman Leo stared at the chimney in the distance outside the window with his hands behind his back and said, "When they come to their senses, they will definitely come to Naian to make trouble."

Not to mention anything else, the railway alone is enough to play the role of 500,000 people. ”

Catherine and the others fell silent, taking small sips of the hot milk in their cups. Although they didn't say it, they all admitted in their hearts that Leo had a point.

Only they, the proprietors of the Flying Eagle Group, know in their hearts how important Nai'an's military industry is.

Ne An, a monster, has to swallow how many resources and how many finished materials it produces every month.

In order to transport them. and how many wagons and manpower need to be arranged.

Even the cannons used in the Maple Leaf Danlin War Fortress and the cannonballs consumed were all produced in Nai'an.

If you don't have ammunition, it's useless to build more guns.

Lorraine grabbed the small snack on the plate and stuffed it a few bites, drank the hot tea in the cup in one gulp, swallowed it all with a grunt, and burped.

Then he threw down the teacup, stretched a big lazy waist, and told Leo: "Don't go out and run around today, someone at home has to squat on duty, Maple Leaf Danlin can't fight in the next three days, but it's hard to say about other places."

Let's catch up on sleep, and we don't have to wake me up without bad news. ”

Chairman Leo nodded reluctantly, he belonged to the long nail in his ass, and suffocating him to death if he was stuffed at home.

But the matter is serious, and the chairman said helplessly: "Okay, I originally said today that I would go to the Gun Bureau to see a new gadget, but I have to postpone it again."

Hey...... By the way, I can ask them to send things over. ”

Catherine patted Chairman Leo's chubby face and said, "Whatever you want, but if you dare to give me a bad run, I will cancel your pocket money for the next ten years." ”

Chairman Leo nodded heavily with an awe-inspiring expression.

A few hours later, when Lorraine was sleeping deep in her arms, the door slammed.

Lorraine woke up in shock, immediately jumped up from the bed, rushed over and opened the door in two steps, and said hurriedly: "What happened?"

Leo's feet were still about to kick the door, and when he saw Lorraine and Catherine, who was sitting up with her eyes rubbed, she hurriedly put her feet down, put on an innocent look with her hands behind her back, and said, "That kid Derossi has become emperor." ”

"Emperor~!?" Lorraine said, his mind hadn't cleared up for a while.

Leo spread his hands and said, "I said that this news is not important, but Belen has to inform the boss." ”

"To be clear?" Lorraine's brow furrowed.

Leo said in one breath as if he was reciting a textbook: "Receiving the latest news ahead, King De Rossi of Leiria announced that he was proclaimed emperor today. Establish the Derossi Empire and proclaim himself emperor. He also issued a proclamation saying that the goal was to unify the continent. ”

Lorraine's sleepiness flew away with wings in an instant, and she turned and grabbed her coat. While getting dressed, he walked out and said, "This was not the case in the last war, what do the undead want to do?"

Isn't the emperor a puppet regime?

Engage in so many demon moths......"

The news of the establishment of the De Rossi Empire led to the mainland along the telegraph line, and this news was as touching as the air battle of the Maple Leaf Danlin, and the first time of the street news, the big people were nervously thinking about what meaning was hidden behind this news. What will be the impact on the future...... After flying in the middle of the night and a whole day, the Undead War Fortress retreated from the Maple Leaf Danlin could fly to the destination of this 30,000-mile expedition, the capital city of Leiria, Ryder, when there were only three or four hours left in the energy crystal.

At this time, it was already dark, and the lich Enes stood in front of the gate of the war fortress with trepidation, staring at the human city below, and his heart was infinitely emotional.

Flew all the way over, crossing a distance of six thousand miles. Flying through countless national cities and villages, at the feet of the Lich Enes, there are always fields that crisscross the wilderness. Dotted with villages and towns, there are also bustling cities.

The lich Enes secretly sighed in his heart that humans were indeed much richer than the Semites.

Although the human population is five times that of the Semites, the land is so rich that even on a per capita basis, it still surpasses the Semites.

Enes, the lich, also understood in his heart why the high priests and Semitic people were obsessed with this land.

Only when there is a large population and abundant products can more mages be born.

Because of this, the number of human elemental mages is firmly at the top. And their dark mages, even with the benefits of eternal life, are still shrinking in number.

The more he understood the need to seize the human continent, the more uneasy Enes became.

He screwed up a crucial step in the High Priest's plan.

"No, it was the Liberati who screwed it up," Enes the lich said silently in his mind many times. Convince yourself that it was the dead Lich Liberati, not that he failed in attack and came back defeated.

The figure of Ryder City grew larger and larger in the eyes of the lich Enes, and he was surprised to find that the city under his feet was actually brightly lit and brightly lit.

On the fields outside the city, more than a hundred war fortresses were haphazardly parked there. Bonfires were as dense as starlight -- it was these war bastions that covered the landing of the Navy's first main fleet, and then took it by surprise and annihilated the peacekeepers.

Although these powerful warplanes were brightly lit, compared to the nearby Ryder City, they were like the light of fireflies and the gap between the torch.

The lich Enes wondered in his heart, and said secretly, "What's going on, what else is there in this city?"

With doubts in his heart, the lich Enes led the more than a hundred war fortresses left after the battle, and landed near the village outside Ryder.

In front of every house of the villagers, a bright flag is hung.

Enes the Lich glanced at it, he could clearly feel the breath of human life in the village, but he couldn't see a single person, it seemed that they were all afraid to hide in the house.

"These lowly people only deserve to tremble in front of us. "The lich Enes had the pride of the Eternal in his heart, and then he didn't dare to stop for a moment, and flew towards the city of Ryder.

At this time, the city of Ryder was newly decorated, and the streets were clad in red and green, but the ruins of the city that had been destroyed in the war were difficult to hide.

Most of the city has been razed to the ground, with only the inner city remaining intact.

The inner city was even more lively, the streets were lit up with lanterns, and the streets were crowded with people, mostly Semitic soldiers and dark mages who had come with the war fortress, as if celebrating victory.

The lich Enes snorted in exasperation, and the laughter from his feet was very sharp and harsh to his ears, as if everyone was mocking his failure.

A few minutes later, the lich Enes met the High Priest in the palace who had arrived with the army.

The High Priest himself seemed to be in a good mood, with a rare smile on his face.

Seeing the lich Enes, the high priest beckoned to him intimately and said, "My dear Enes, where is Liberati?"

The lich Enes took a deep breath, his expression was sad, and said, "Lord Hui, he's dead." ”

"Oh?" the High Priest was stunned for a moment, his face immediately sank, and he said, "What was the result of the battle?"

"This ......" The lich Enes was embarrassed, hesitated for a few seconds, and said stubbornly: "Maple Leaf Danlin, it's really not easy to fight." ”

"I ask you how the battle went?" the high priest rebuked with a blank face. He had always hated such vague words the most.

The lich Enes shuddered, bowed his head, and said in fear: "We failed, we failed to destroy the war fortress and construction workshop of the Maple Leaf Danlin, this is all Liberati ......"

"How much has been lost?" the High Priest asked coldly, glaring at the face of the Lich Enes.

"Three...... Thirty-two. Enes, the lich, looked up and stole a glance at the high priest, and then hesitated.

Thirty-two ......

Hearing this, even the faces of the retinue beside the high priest changed, this loss was too great.

The High Priest was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "What do you think?"

The lich Enes hurriedly defended himself: "It was Liberati who wantonly ......"

"I didn't ask you. The High Priest raised his hand to stop the lich Enes, looked at the man beside him, and said, "What do you think, sir?"

The lich Enes suddenly turned around, only to see the undead who had been treated as a guest by the high priest calmly walked over, greeted the high priest with his chin bow, and said, "The enemy is unknown, the intelligence is wrong, and the command is improper.

It's the commander's responsibility~!"

One sentence made the lich Enes fall into an ice cellar. rq！！！
