Move the fortress "City of Condors".

The unprecedented city in the sky, the impregnable fortifications, the masterpieces of city building and shipbuilding technology, the spiritual symbol of the king's army, and the proof of Charlemagne's blessing...... Among the many messy nicknames, only "the ultimate embodiment of the doctrine of big ships and giant artillery" can be regarded as the essence of this stone floating in the sky.

In a general sense, the fortress existed as a kind of defense. If a fortress could move on its own, it would be no different from a battleship.

Rock-solid defenses, swift mobility, and firepower to destroy all obstacles—this is a battleship. No matter how the times and technologies evolve, when evaluating the performance of a battleship, the first thing that comes to mind is to compare these three parameters with its peers. It's the same with the City of Condors.

Just as the target of a battleship is a rival of the same kind, the hypothetical target of the City of Condor is also a fortress. Its opponent is none other than the heart of Siegfried's Line, the Iserlohn Battery, which is equipped with the super cannon "Thor's Hammer".

When they learned that the consortium was actually the elven camp that had long since disappeared, the crown prince and their henchmen said at the time that they were scared to death and that they must quickly destroy these pointy-eared heretics to suppress the shock. Otherwise, when this bastard has full wings and has nothing to do, he will announce that "there is only one Gilmania in the world" and "Charlemagne has been a sacred and inalienable territory of Gilmania since ancient times", it will be too late to lift the table. As for using this as a prestige and plundering wealth to fill one's wallet...... This group of shameless people who have never been seen before will not admit it if they are beaten to death.

While an intelligence source "leaked" the inside story of the V.E consortium to Dauphin Louis, he also piggybacked on a blueprint of the Siegfried Line. As soon as he heard the information about the civil fortifications of a potential adversary, His Excellency Vauban, the great master of military engineering, immediately rushed over in a hurry, spread out the drawings and looked at them, and the brigadier general said only one word.

"Alas, this ......"

The trenches were dug denser than cobwebs. The barbed wire fence is like a bush, there are countless bunkers, and the core fortifications are a full meter of reinforced concrete concrete.

How can this be broken? It's not enough to fill in the head. The general took a lute and cried while playing the song "Too young, too simple Tucson broken".

Vauban didn't know that the information he was reading had shrunk a lot, and if he saw the real data, he would only have to kneel.

No matter how you look at it. The size of the Siegfried Line can only be described as "behemoth, behemoth, incomparable behemoth". It contains a total of 150 kilometers of tunnels, which need to use 18 million square meters of earthwork, about 1.7 million square meters of concrete, about 300,000 tons of steel, as well as supporting railways, highways, affiliated hospitals, restaurants, dispatch centers, cinemas, nearly 100 meters underground, and independent maglev high-speed trains underground. The frenzied pointed ears are not satisfied with this, and the third phase of the reconstruction project once planned to open up a new underground ecological area, and strive to make sure that the cobalt bomb is blown up overhead, and the underground can still live a good life. until the radiation is eliminated...... To use a more intuitive analogy, the material cost of the Siegfried Line is about equal to more than 400 Empire State buildings in New York, and if these more than 400 skyscrapers are erected end to end, the picture is simply spectacular......

Of course, the above numbers that will frighten children will not appear in the false information that is deliberately leaked out, otherwise it will surprise the friendly countries, and people will not fire the first shot. Isn't this a rabbit in the South China Sea of Blue Star willing to provide a green card for planting flowers, with a set of residences in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, to ensure that there is no ambush by axe makers. Are you in a situation where you can't beg the monkeys and the eagle-chan soldiers to shoot at me?

Just this shrunk and shrunk false information, it almost scared General Vauban on the spot.

It is different from many people's impressions. Charlemagne's army actually had a lot of experience in attacking and defending fortresses. During the Hundred Years' War, these barbarians fought in a series of fortresses in Britannia, Normandy, and Castile. During the Huguenot War, the siege of La Rochelle lasted for 15 months, and finally even the harbor was besieged before the port city was completely captured. The recent siege of the fortress of Riga, the siege of Castile. Charlemagne is all playing well.

It is conceivable that after centuries of practice, Charlemagne's army has gained considerable experience in both "attacking" and "defending" fortresses. They knew very well what it meant to be covered with trap guns, mortars, pillboxes, trenches, mines, and barbed wire, and it was fair to say that no one would be stunned by the Siegfried Line. Based on previous experience. I'm afraid that I will fill all the shells and half of the human heads of the army, and I still can't touch the edge of the Iserlohn battery.

According to Vauban's vision, a frontal assault would be foolish and unfeasible, and the only way to besiege it was to cut off food and water, and see how long the pointy-eared people could drink urine. But this idea was quickly rejected by himself, partly because the pointy-eared people had been prepared for it, designing a water supply system and underground transportation lines in all directions. On the other hand, Charlemagne, who was surrounded by strong enemies, did not have time to fight with the pointed ears, and by the time they gnawed down the fortress, the lobster soldiers on the other side of the sea should have finished training and climbed the Normandy beachhead. In the end, the hot-headed generals in the army will never accept such a "cowardly plan that undermines the military prestige of the invincible king", which is not a question of whether it is feasible at the military level, but a question of political correctness of "whether there is confidence in victory" and "whether they are loyal enough to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince".

There is no way, but a hard anal front.

When it comes to the attack and defense of fortresses, trenches on the battlefield are necessary, a war of attrition is a must, holding a military flag, beating a small drum, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood is a must, and all kinds of big pipes are indispensable, but it must also be able to advance to the effective range of artillery to make sense. According to the parameters marked in the design drawings, the Iserlon Fort was built on a small hill at an altitude of 203 meters above sea level, codenamed 203 Heights. Its 800mm heavy guns have a range of up to 10 kilometers, and they also occupy an advantageous position, which can calmly overlook the surroundings and mobilize other artillery to cover the invading enemy. At that time, I am afraid that as soon as the large group of people who are pushing the cannon and crawling on the ground appears, they will be named by the opponent's artillery before they can enter the position.

So how about using a floating warship to fly over and smash these evil ghost beasts to death with cannonballs? No, not to mention whether or not the air supremacy can be successfully won, put a big tube that can smash the turtle shell on the largest floating warship, and disintegrate in the air with a single shot.

It doesn't work, it doesn't work, under tremendous pressure. The Crown Prince's monkeys invited to tease...... Well, Wang Situ, you're starting to open your mind to the evil sect. Since the floating ship could not withstand the recoil of the fortress guns, how about simply letting the fortress fly and facing the enemy fortress?

A huge stone flew from the sky, and the powerful main cannon on the stone struck a heartfelt blow at the enemy fortress. The enemy fortress that has been repeatedly attacked has been shot into the soul, the arrogant and ignorant heretical bandits have turned into dust and ashes, and my brave and invincible king division rushed up to the crater-like mountain, the king banner is invincible, the soldiers look up to the sky and roar and drive straight in, and the lone man and thief Li Linbing are defeated and killed just around the corner. As for the map to be redrawn or something, that's a small thing.

This scene was so touching that the Crown Prince Louis was also moved and waved his pen. So a large number of people surrounded a big rock and worked day and night, and the final result was this "City of Condors".

As mentioned earlier, the City of Condor is going to be a confrontation with the Iserlohn Battery. Like the animal legion in another world against the torrent of Maozi's steel, its core value is the cannon, and no one expects the short-barreled 75 cannon IV to take out the T34/85, you have to use the 88mm can opener. Charlemagne, whose mind has been cornered into a ditch by false information, thinks the same way. Having a sufficiently large "chassis", they did not hesitate to move the most capable cannon on it.

The strategic magic cannon "Beak of the Condor". Ball lightning with a diameter of more than ten meters manifested in several large celestial crystal magic arrays, and shot out at high speed through the "lightning channel" set up in the muzzle. Simply. This is a railgun that can fire ball lightning, according to theoretical calculations. It's easy to wipe out a medium-sized city or fortress or something like a single shot.

Coupled with 300 artillery pieces of various types, a fortress attached fleet, and flying beast troops, it is believed that any enemy will be vulnerable in the face of this formidable force.

"Charlemagne will always be number one in the world, and it has been and will always be. ”

The body sinks into the feather seat, and the cozy feeling spreads with the heartbeat to every corner, enjoying the all-round feeling of everything at your disposal. The Dauphin Louis raised his glass, and the courtiers at the foot of the stairs raised their glasses in amusement.

The right welcome made Crown Prince Louis very satisfied, and the white wine that he had been accustomed to drinking became extraordinarily mellow.

Contrary to his appearance, Louis was in a state of extreme excitement. For a long time, he was suppressed by the consortium, Richelieu, and his father, and recently, even the aura of his two younger brothers has gradually overshadowed him. Now it can be turned around in one fell swoop. Pulling down all the bastards who have stepped on their heads in the past and stepping on their feet can be regarded as a kind of spiritual climax.

Great Charlemagne is the world's first in national power, and Great Charlemagne's technical power is the world's first. What kind of elf's black technology, it's just a chicken and a dog. As soon as the army of the king army arrived, the heretical bandits naturally disappeared. If the old man had half of his vision and courage, he would have dominated the world a long time ago, where would there be such a mess today. Thankfully, it's not too late, and this mess is a great opportunity right now.

Louis had already planned to use this coup d'état to eliminate all political enemies, and at the same time take the opportunity to replace the old blood in his own faction. Those important ministers who are attached to him are not as reliable as they seem on the surface, some of them are the grass on the wall that sees the wind and steer, and a small number of people are planning to use the crown prince as a puppet and operate themselves behind the scenes. In order for Bernard and his party to let their guard down and carry out a coup d'état as planned, all these uneasy elements were pushed out as bait. With the help of the bayonets of the Titans soldiers, the crown prince managed to escape these back stabs that would have stabbed him in the back at some point.

It is a good deal to get rid of political opponents and the uneasy elements around him, and he can also gild himself with a layer of "the first contribution to quelling the chaos" and "the genius of the heavens", which will be of great help to the future rule, and this deal is really a good deal.

This is the case with politics, where others are nothing more than ants or tools in the eyes of those in power, and when some people think they can use others as tools, they are not so in the eyes of others. It is natural for tools that have lost their usefulness to be discarded, and tools that may harm their owners should be destroyed as soon as possible.

Most of the obstacles were cleared, and now Louis was in front of him by a rotten log called "Father", and behind the rotten wood was a bright and broad road.

"News from the scout forces that Versailles has come within visual range!"

One of the sixteen round tables surrounding the throne stood up and reported aloud.

In order to make a columnar rock mass 290 meters high and nearly 60 meters wide at its widest point fly, in addition to the large power of the floating magic array, a large number of magicians who can adapt to various situations, integrate information, maintain communication, and make subtle adjustments to the technique are indispensable.

The round table where the one standing was was the group of magicians in charge of communication.

Dauphin Louis nodded to the magician at the other round table.

The magicians chanted a brief spell, and the air in front of the throne began to distort, gradually revealing the scenery as the griffon knights saw it.

Like a town-like palace complex, each one is a finely carved handicraft, making people want to find an oil-paper bag to wrap it.

That's Charlemagne's pride, the Palace of Versailles.

"You're old, father. ”

Louis shook the crystal glass, the amber liquor curled up a small swirl, and sat on the throne overlooking all beings, muttering to himself in a voice that only he could hear.

"Since ancient times, the creation of history has never been a dying old age. What can cleanse this decaying world must be the young wind. ”

As the outline of Versailles became clearer in the image technique, a sneer appeared on Louis's majestic face.

"Activate the 'Beak of the Condor'. ”

The air in the main control room of the fortress was stagnant, and he was glared at by Louie's indifferent eyes like carnivorous birds of prey, and the herald did not bother to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and repeat it aloud.

"Condor's Beak, start activating!"

Orders were passed down from one level to another, and only a moment later, the mana inside the fortress began to flow at an accelerated pace.

The favored ministers were only slightly stunned, and then regained their previous shrewd and capable expressions.

They have always followed and served the crown prince for the sake of the dragon's merits, and the betrayal of the oath of loyalty to the king is nothing compared to it.

- Anyway, as soon as the king dies, the oath is automatically lifted.

The noble adults are exaggerating themselves in their hearts.

If you compare the City of Condor to an umbrella, there is one on the top of the fortress - that is, on the surface of the umbrella. A beautiful cylindrical transverse hole that runs through the axis of the umbrella bone, the base of which is in the shape of a round coin.

The myrtles and texts that line the walls of the cave evoke an aura reminiscent of a stately church or a huge temple or other structure. Even the vapor device, which exists as an auxiliary mechanism and constantly spews out white mist, invisibly brews a certain altar-like mystery.

Is it an accident that there is a sense of sacredness in this place, which has nothing to do with faith and worship?

The magicians in charge of controlling the main cannon are awakening the most vicious weapon ever seen in the human camp, and the chanting array of energy controls is activated in turn. The white light leaking from the turret was the glow of Mana's activation.

The magicians placed around the bottom of the gun mount use the special force field generated by the magic array to precisely control the Mana gathered there. The veritable divine power was channeled by chanting and circuits, and little by little it was concentrated on the base of the beak of the Condor, gradually increasing in brightness along the complex and strange array of large spells.

Due to the huge amount of energy and time required for each launch and refill, it is impossible for the City of Condor to wait until it is above the target to start related operations, and from now on, it can be launched immediately after Versailles enters the range.

"Father, this is my last farewell gift to you. The first launch of the Condor's Beak frees you from an embarrassing end, and I, who will be Charlemagne's new king, will guide the nation to the pinnacle of prosperity like the sun. That's right, I'm the Sun King. ”

Tilting his neck and drinking the white wine, a flush appeared on the face of the Dauphin Louis, as if the hoops of reason had been loosened by exuberance, and the corners of his mouth twitched. (To be continued.) )
