Chapter 82: A Tank with Hands and Feet

Oster opened Scar's letter and deciphered it through the ciphertext crystal;

"Brother Brown, how are you doing? I'm sorry for putting such a heavy burden on you, and I wanted to send some more troops to support you, but I'm now stretched thin and can't do both. ”

In the letter, in addition to asking about Oster's situation and the situation in Nishiyama, Skar also described the current situation in Togo.

With the arrival of the main force, although the rebels held the camp, the situation was still extremely unfavorable. This place was originally a post station and a cargo transfer area, and the surrounding transportation was convenient, and there was no danger to defend, and bandits and county guards from all sides continued to increase their troops to harass the camp. Not to mention the regular army of the kingdom at the crossroads, which has always been a big problem for Skar.

Since the fierce battle of Nanchuan, the Corps and the Righteous Army have seen each other's strong strength and will. The regular corps, which had suffered considerable losses, had not made any major moves, and the eyes of the rebels behind enemy lines had been closely monitoring their movements;

Intelligence shows that the direct legion suddenly attacked the Nanchuan Rebels, without the authorization of Stormwind City, and was actually done by the corps commander, Lieutenant General Huntington. There is evidence that this person made a deal with a certain person in Montenegro, and he wanted to easily take down the rabble of mud legs and get some kind of benefit, but he didn't want to run into a hard bone and break a full mouth. Huntington has been relieved and taken under the control of MI7 and is ready to be taken to Sentinel Ridge to be interrogated by a big man from Stormwind.

According to what Oster knew before, the military system of the entire Stormwind Kingdom is indeed full of warlords, and the legion leader has considerable power, and can even trade privately with the local government.

This stems from a large-scale military reform implemented by the royal family more than a decade ago. Since the Stormwind Kingdom perfectly skipped the entire three wars, the large number of troops that were originally used to cope with the expansion of the situation basically did not come in handy, and it was difficult to dismantle them, and the royal family of the second restoration of Ureon was faced with huge debts from the alliance, and was so poor for a long time that they could not afford the huge military expenses, so this decision was made; Except for a few royal regiments directly under the palace guarding Stormwind City and expeditionary corps sent overseas, the remaining corps were successively sent to garrison various parts of the kingdom, and the personnel were still vertically managed, and most of the equipment and food were collected and consumed by themselves.

Since then, the garrison has gradually become the commander's private soldiers, which can be transferred at will or even rented out as a mercenary group, as long as it does not cause a big mess, the royal family basically turns a blind eye. Of course, if the behavior is too arrogant, Stormwind still has a hundred ways to deal with these captains, such as what happened to Moradim in Twilight and now Huntington.

Although all the above signs indicate that the direct corps will not be able to go out again in the short term, it is impossible for Skar to risk his life on the enemy. The terrain around Dongxiang is flat and the soil is hard, which is really conducive to the movement and deployment of the demonic troops. As long as the directly subordinate corps wants to make trouble, it is a matter of a blink of an eye to arrive at the camp of the besieging rebels;

As a result, Skar had to concentrate his main forces to guard against surprise attacks by his direct corps. With such a large number of men and horses gathered in the camp, the daily consumption of food and grass is a big problem. However, the opinion of the headquarters meeting remained that it was impossible to abandon such a large base area and a large number of innocent people.

Skar knew that there would be another battle with the Corps, so it was better to take the initiative. However, the rebels, who lacked the equipment to attack the fortifications, could not effectively threaten the heavy magic artillery and steam tanks in the area, let alone the barracks fortress with deep pits and high walls.

In the end, Skar writes that there is only one way to end the passive beating, and that is to send out the secret weapon that is used as a hole card - the Harvest Golem. Therefore, he hoped that after Oster was separated, he would finish the mountain base as soon as possible, complete the puppet repair project, and replenish his combat strength.

Oster closed the letter and lit it on fire, knowing that he could not wait any longer. He immediately drafted a reply letter, briefly describing the situation in Xishan, saying that this side has basically stabilized, and mobile men and horses and food and ammunition can be sent to support the headquarters. And he immediately set off and rushed to the base.

After arranging the itinerary and explaining the important business to the officials and escorts of the West Mountain, the night before his departure, Oster locked himself in his room and called out the Sashu interface again.

He knew in his heart that although Skar and the Rebels had high hopes for the engineering puppet, in their current state, this thing might not be as powerful as it had imagined, or that it would not be able to perform its original strength and function.

In previous research, Oster and the base researchers had been unable to crack the process of manufacturing and modifying the puppet core, and they were all locked in layers of extremely advanced ciphers. So the finished product is just a manned machine armor, and it doesn't have the ability to activate magic immunity shields, fire chaotic energy cannonballs, and fly for a short time, as recorded in history.

Oster knew that if Gundam didn't know magic, it was a tank with hands and feet, and it was a stupid thing. So, he wanted to search the database again, thinking that with so much authority in the past few days, maybe he could find more content about magic golems.

The result is really as he expected, after a period of searching, the Sashu AI shows, [At present, the "Death Knight" part of the access permission has been unlocked, in view of the fact that the harvesting puppet is made with reference to the design of the Death Knight, it is recommended to first retrieve the image data left by the main person in charge of the project. 】

Oster thought to himself, the death knight, whose scientific name is "self-propelled armored combat unit", is not a product of copying the spirit at all, but is actually a mechanized combat unit used by the orc rebels in the first and second wars. At the time, the Alliance, which was still using cavalry charging and magic queue shooting tactics, was shocked by the torrent of armor, giving steel monsters who didn't eat or drink, were immune to magic, and could spew chaotic energy from the barrel of their guns. The soldiers gave them the nickname of the Grim Reaper on an iron horse. Because he was very imposing, he was later accepted by the orcs and became a death knight.

Therefore, the orcs actually relied on technology to crush them, and they won the first and early stages of World War II. Otherwise, according to the war history written nonsense in the chronicles, a group of cornered, crazy, stupid, and backwardly equipped barbarians can kill all the way through the Eastern Continent by relying on a few tribes from the portal, which is too insulting to IQ. Is it that the alliance is all abandoned houses, or that the orcs will have mitosis?

Oster followed the prompt of Sashu and opened the search, and after a while, as the light of the switching interface flashed, Wu Yanzu's hologram appeared.

Oster retrieved his chin from the ground and asked who this person was.

The answer is: [Guldan, special academician of the Academy of Shadow Engineering, doctoral supervisor. Expert in the fields of mechanics, mechanics, information science, materials, magical intelligence, bioengineering, civil engineering and chemical engineering, standing advisor to the Supreme Council of the Revolutionary Army. 】

Oster was shocked, enough is enough, not to ask this. He had seen the photos of the King of Warlocks in other materials before, and knew that this was not the stereotypical villain in the chronicle who had sores on his head, pus on the soles of his feet, and was ugly and decrepit, but he didn't expect that this Nima real person was more than 10 times more handsome than in the photo.

In addition to orc features such as green skin, pointed ears and lower fangs, it is basically the appearance of the peak Yanzu, plus twice the figure of Peng Yuyan. The sleeves of a white shirt with a tie were full of muscles, and there was even a pair of rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose; Just the right amount of handsome and not a girl, both Sven and powerful.

Although Oster has definitely been a straight man of steel for two lifetimes, he does not deny that there are handsome guys who make men feel excited.
