Magic Mech Wars Steel Torrent-Chapter 63 The Necessity of Worry
Chapter 63 - 63 The Necessity of Worry
Subsequently, although the three generals had a slight dispute over the issue of Su Lian's "affiliation," it was quickly resolved.
The normal agenda then unfolded.
Regarding the issue of assistance to Yaminik, the best and most traditional way they could currently think of was to have their troops wear the military uniforms of the Yaminik army and participate in the war. In this way, with the coordination of various supplies provided through covert assistance,
they could balance the combat power of the two sides and at least delay the situation until the arrival of winter.
Although Rankou and Yaminik are located to their south, they are still generally in the northwest of the continent. Once winter comes, it basically means a truce.
If they don't succeed in taking it this year, it will be very difficult for the Rankou Kingdom to launch a new war in the following year.
Supplies are the most pressing major issue they are facing first.
...
"Your Highness Prince Ursa, you previously proposed that in addition to some of the equipment of your private army, you would also support a newly developed weapon to be included in this assistance, right?" Butler asked.
"That's right. It was also developed and realized by Lyndell. If you want, you can go and experience its power now," Ursa said.
"It sounds like something with good lethality. How dare you create such a thing?" Caroline suddenly became interested.
"This is it." Su Lian directly took it out from his magic ring and gently placed it on the conference table with his magic power.
This move also startled quite a few people.
Because no matter how one looked at it, this thing was a bomb that could explode, and it used a very old-fashioned goblin bomb design.
They, as soldiers, could also sense the threatening aura it emitted.
"How powerful is it?" Butler frowned slightly. Although he was a bit dissatisfied, he didn't pay too much attention to it.
"It is filled with specially made alchemical magic powder, the outer shell is made of specially made alchemical metal, and it is attached with explosion magic inscriptions. It is a brand-new type of weapon. Even if it is put into the battlefield, the Rankou Kingdom cannot accuse us of doing it. Late
r, we just need to iterate and upgrade it, and it can be used normally in the future."
"In terms of power, this bomb that I call the 'Nostalgia' guarantees that the power it generates is equivalent to a sixth-level fire attribute area magic."
"This is also the limit that I can currently make by myself. The other mass-produced Nostalgia bombs I have only have the power of the fifth level."
Su Lian briefly introduced it.
The lowest-ranking regiment commander present had the strength of a seventh-level War King. Naturally, they were not afraid of this thing suddenly exploding. Instead, they carefully observed it.
"What is the magic detection level?" Caroline asked.
The magic detection level.
It is a kind of hierarchical term related to the "detection radar." On the battlefield in this world, magicians are naturally a common existence. Even though the number of people who can practice magic is small, and the number of people who can reach the level of a high-level magician or above is ev
en smaller, there are still some.
Especially area magic. For soldiers mostly composed of ordinary people, magic is destructive.
And to deal with it, there are naturally magic items specifically designed to detect the intensity of incoming magic based on magic fluctuations.
The detected level is called the magic detection level.
...
"It uses a third-level explosion magic inscription, so the detection level is only the third level. And it can be thrown from a high altitude. By the time the enemy discovers it, it is basically too late for them to disperse their formation," Su Lian said.
"Okay, let's use this!" Caroline directly slapped the table to
confirm it!
"For a relatively concentrated formation, even if the power is at the fifth level, about ten of these bombs should be able to cause casualties to thousands of people. If there are enough of them, we may not even need too much military assistance from our side," Butler nodded.
In a way, he was also agreeing to this method. As long as it could reduce the casualties of their kingdom's army, it was naturally the best result.
"How many have you made?" Munslow directly asked.
"Due to limited time and materials, including the test products with only the power of the fourth level, there are only nine in total so far," Su Lian said.
"It's a bit few. It's not enough. We will take action in about ten days. How many more can you make? Why don't you share the technology and let the guys in our research institute help make some?" Caroline directly said.
"When the technology matures, it will naturally be shared just like the spider mechanical puppet."
"Currently, this thing is still in the experimental stage, and I don't want an immature technology to cause harm to our senior researchers. After all, my teachers at the Polar Star Academy have warned me many times not to privately research such dangerous things."
"However, if there are ten days, there should be no problem making another twenty or thirty. The premise is that you provide me with the materials."
Su Lian roughly calculated.
In fact, in their military factory, there are still more than a hundred of these in stock. Uncle Cam has asked Ursa more than once to get rid of those dangerous things. Immature explosives are very dangerous.
"Is it enough?" Butler looked at Caroline and asked.
"Enough, it's completely enough!"
The total number of troops deployed by the Rankou Kingdom to attack the Yaminik Kingdom is only 50,000. They also have to guard against the Sbai Kingdom in the east and the Fencan Military-ruled Country in the south, so it's impossible for them to send all their troops forward.
"With the sudden attack of these bombs, as long as it causes more than three thousand casualties among the main force, they will sensibly retreat."
Caroline patted his chest and promised. This assistance mission was mainly arranged by him for others to execute.
As for the reason why a force of fifty thousand would not dare to attack after suffering three thousand losses, it was very simple.
Firstly, they couldn't determine whether there would be more of this kind of weapon that was unfamiliar to them in the future. Before they thought of a way to defend against it, they definitely wouldn't dare to continue attacking recklessly.
Secondly, they could understand that the Yaminik Kingdom couldn't possibly have this kind of new weapon. Obviously, they would immediately think of the Aivisu Kingdom.
Combined, if three thousand people were hurt, who hurt them?
Should they withdraw their troops? They could only withdraw.
"Then let's formulate a more detailed plan, so that those noble politicians can handle the diplomatic issues later," Butler nodded.
His nod also represented the attitude of the king to some extent.
...
Next, it was just a matter of formulating a detailed plan.
Originally, some personnel should have been drawn from each army group. They would secretly take the magic-powered train to the border city, then cross the Black Dariu Mountains, join the army of the Yaminik Kingdom, and disguise themselves as members of the Yaminik army to intervene in the war.
Now it was obvious that there was no need for the cooperation of the various regiment commanders. They just needed to send a small number of people to go and cooperate with the bomb-throwing.
However, they were a bit confused as to why Su Lian insisted on throwing the bombs himself.
Did he want to experience the battlefield in advance?
Anyway, he was Prince Ursa's own grandson, and currently the only one. Prince Ursa would definitely protect him well, and there was no need for these generals to meddle in other people's business.
After going there, the location of the throw was also requested by the Yaminik side, so they just needed to send someone to confirm that Su Lian carried out the task as required.
...
The day after the discussion, Su Lian and Ursa took the relevant materials provided by the military headquarters and returned to the Peter Saint Territory.
In the carriage on the way back to the manor in the territory.
"It went more smoothly than I expected," Su Lian said, a bit surprised.
Is it because they agreed to let you go to the battlefield in person, or because they didn't force you to hand over the invention?" Ursa asked.
"Both, I guess. Do they have less guard against me because they think I'm too young, or do they have other ideas?" Su Lian asked.
"Guess first," Ursa smiled and wasn't in a hurry to give him an answer.
"Because your image is still very friendly, Grandpa. On the premise that they trust you, they also believe that I won't mess around in such a matter. At the same time, they have arranged for people to follow me, and they can stop unexpected situations if necessary, so they feel at ease letting me go
."
"Also, for this new weapon that they already know about, they can quickly come up with corresponding preventive measures, so they're not in a hurry to get the detailed manufacturing method of this weapon."
"Moreover, since I asked for the materials, later they just need to keep a close eye on our territory's procurement of these materials, and they can roughly judge whether we are privately making a large number of them. Therefore, everything is within their controllable range, so it can go so smoothl
y?"
Su Lian expressed his speculation.
"You're very smart. It's almost like that," Ursa smiled, very satisfied.
"Almost?" Su Lian said.
So where is the difference?
"Because you still don't understand these guys' love for talent. They also want to see what you are capable of achieving," Ursa said.
"I see..." Su Lian roughly understood.
Thinking carefully, if there was a junior who left a good impression on me and had good talent, even if there was a bit of risk, I might let him give it a try.
Watching the junior grow up and finally taking him under my wing to cultivate him is indeed a very fulfilling thing.
After all, everything is still within their "controllable range."
...
"Then they're going to be a little disappointed, because what I'm going to test and drop isn't this immaturely developed 'Nostalgia.' This is the design I prepared for making a rocket launcher, not for using it as a grenade," Su Lian smiled and shook his head.
"Then I wish you success in your experiment in advance, little Su Lian. And I hope you... won't have a psychological burden because of this," Ursa still had a little worry in the end.
You know, what Su Lian was going to do, to put it bluntly, was to kill people.
And kill a lot of people.
At the same time, Ursa also knew that since he had chosen this path, there would only be more such endings in the future, and Su Lian would have to face them sooner or later.
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
In war, there will definitely be deaths.
But...
Even now, Ursa was still hesitating in his heart whether he should let his grandson, who was only twelve years old this year, do such a thing.
"Grandpa, the blood flowing in my body is that of the Soloman royal family, which established a kingdom through conquest, and the blood of the vampire werewolves, which became famous for their bloodthirsty killing. Is this kind of worry really necessary?" Su Lian asked in return.
Ursa looked at his grandson in front of him. Behind those deep blue eyes, there was hidden a bloodthirsty killing intent. And in his expression, there was an ambition to conquer the world that had been revealed since he was a child.
This grandson who could always surprise him and even make him feel a bit unfamiliar at times.
It seemed that there was indeed no need to worry about him.
...
"Then Grandpa will just wait for your success, little Su Lian," Ursa smiled.
"Definitely," Su Lian also smiled in response.
