#1119 new war puppet
A day later, the Rassieman Parliament happened to conduct an "exercise".
As early as the Expeditionary Force arrived in Lasha City, a series of votes and decisions were made within the parliament. Speaker Jeremy and the members voted collectively, endorsing the "new type of war puppet" and viewing the design drawings and preliminary ideas for everyone in the parliamentary hall.
As the vice president of Mofengt College, Konos remembered that day he was particularly excited.
Because of the emergence of the "Demon Forbidden Field", the Mofengte Academy, which has been able to do miscellaneous work for a long time, quickly became the hope in everyone's eyes: the enemy is not afraid of magic, but cannot ignore the physical damage strikes from ranged weapons.
Therefore, the "blade crossbow" driven by magic crystal and the "shot gun" driven by new crystal energy immediately became one of the two most popular weapons.
The "new war puppet" that was originally expected should actually be called a huge "land warship".
On the drawings, this war machine is thirty meters long and seventeen meters wide, with a height of ten meters. It is powered by sixty huge wooden tires below. The unique suspension device allows it to almost ignore most of the terrain, whether it is a desert or a wasteland, it can be like a flat ground.
On the top, it is like a "battleship", loaded with sixteen short-range artillery crossbows and twenty ultra-long-range "crystal cannons". It is expected that it will also combine various large magic arrays to provide various firepower support and protection for nearby friendly forces.
This is particularly important for the originally weak Rassimian infantry unit.
Originally, Rassieman did not have a "crystal cannon". Since Roddy brought the extremely energy-efficient "crystal energy", Mofengte Academy has quietly developed this "powerful weapon".
Naturally, the huge "war puppet" cannot be made intact now, but with the work of a group of puppet masters day and night, the "combat platform" part of this machine has been initially built, and it is loaded with enough artillery and artillery crossbows to present it on an open space outside the city.
This is naturally to boost confidence among parliamentarians and make them realize that Rassieman has now found a "strategy to deal with the enemy."
With the issuance of orders, the sound of the sixteen artillery crossbows being fired under the control of soldiers, and the deafening roar of twenty "crystal cannons" did shock the congressmen who had not experienced war for a long time...
The target a hundred meters away was pierced by a crossbow on the spot, and wooden targets aged 400 to 800 meters away were smashed by solid round shells. The members of the parliament were amazed, and most of them were comparing which of these weapons or "magic" was more powerful, with smiles on their faces.
A few MPs with bad looks were sarcastic, obviously some "old stubborn" who believed that "puppets" could not replace magicians in war - such conversations were actually common.
Jeremy ignored the argument between them. As the speaker, he saw the recent efforts of Mofengte Academy. Listening to the roaring artillery fire and flying fragments, the speaker felt that the stuffy chest seemed to be much more relaxed...
But he soon discovered that the expression of the Konos MP was ugly.
"Konos, is there any problem?"
“Sir Speaker…”
Konos wanted to speak but stopped, but finally shook his head: "It's still... a lot worse."
Jeremy knew what he was talking about and frowned: "Can you not be able to deal with the Tuk army with such weapons?"
"Turn directly to the front line, the effect will definitely be stronger than the current silence of the mages, but compared with the army of Karen Kingdom-"
He sighed deeply, with an indescribable depression on his face: "We seem to be behind the entire era."
The MPs discussing the power of artillery around him heard the conversation between the two. They gradually stopped their topics and surrounded them: "Mr. Konos, if there were hundreds of such artillery, the enemy would probably have been blown up without getting close to our troops!"
"You can explode at six or seven hundred meters away, which is already beyond the attack range of ordinary mid-level mages!"
"But there is no accurate at all! Look at those targets, how many hits can they have?"
The members of the parliament were still arguing, but Konos was not in the mood to listen and shook his head: "Speaker, the artillery of the Kingdom of Karen...the power may be similar to these at close range, but their firing rate is ten times faster."
The sound around him became less.
"Where is the range?"
"They are called "Groundhog" and their range has reached one kilometer. The kind called "Vulcan" has a range of two kilometers - of course, I didn't witness it hitting that far, but its power is real. When we have at least ten artillery fired, we may have the power of a shell of "Vulcan."
The scene of a group of mages discussing hot weapons is a bit funny, but Konos said so, and the MPs who were still a little excited didn't know how to respond. At this moment, intelligence reports came over-
"Yudora, the priest of the scepter... surrendered?"
Jeremy couldn't believe his ears. In Rasimman's war, in the face of the Tuks, he rarely accepted the saying "surrender". No matter who lost the two sides, they would never die. He could accept the result of Roddy's victory, but he could not believe that the enemy would surrender voluntarily.
He thought for a while, "Will this priest be escorted back to the rear?"
"Speaker Speaker, Commander Soderol means...the other party not only surrendered, but also...submitted, and now he has become a member of the army of the Kingdom of Karen and is not intended to be handed over to us."
"What?!"
"How could he accept these evil priests?!"
If they could understand that Yudora was imprisoned and directly made her become a "friendly army" without any damage, how could the members of the parliamentarians do it?
But Councillor Jeremy had no choice. Faced with the controversy, he directly started to apply new proposals and votes on the spot, and quickly passed two urgent decisions-
First, extend the R&D cycle of "new war puppets", and the artillery research and development will be suspended, focusing on completing the load-bearing structure.
Second, the purchase of four "Groundhog"-style artillery and four hundred shells were unanimously used for imitation and research.
The members of the parliamentary meeting were depressed, and Konos said nothing. Speaker Jeremy patted his shoulder: "When the artillery is bought, our research progress will definitely accelerate quickly."
"But Lord Speaker, what I worry about the most is not artillery, but...their ability to air-carry soldiers directly from another continent."
No one pointed out this before, because all the members knew that this was unsolvable...
"Then we should be glad that Karen Kingdom stands with us, right?"
After Speaker Jeremy said that, he sighed secretly and looked up at the south... He really couldn't figure it out now. Is Roddy bringing this army to another continent really that simple to repel the Tuks?
He obviously would not have thought that Roddy was soaring above the "Sargas" desert at this time, staring at the rippling yellow sand land below, looking for traces of "City of Hovela".
