The road to national restoration that began at the end of the century

In short, Zelen looked at the introduction brochure of the 120 mm caliber heavy mortar that these dark elves were selling to him. He couldn't help but admire its more than 6,000-meter range and its quite lethal 120 mm caliber mortar. Cannonball felt helpless.

Because of this cannon...the soldiers of the Crurod Empire need it very much. They wish they could save as much as they can.

In particular, the 155 mm caliber heavy artillery cannot be produced for the time being, and the pig-headed men come to cause trouble from time to time, or it is due to the invasion of poisonous boiling lice. The 120 mm caliber mortar shell has an absolute killing radius, that is, the death radius is as high as 22 Rice's big killer.

The report that a large area of ​​poisonous blast lice was instantly wiped out after one shot made Zelen himself excited. However, the 120mm caliber mortars currently used by the Imperial Army are just old stocks from the past. Once they are used up...

To this end, Minister Howlett began to prioritize the establishment of mortar production factories in the rear safety zone. But the problem of short supply cannot be ignored, so buy it.

At least the Krurod Empire now still has spices or other "junk" that can be used to buy arms.

What's more, compared with large-angle deflection fire, the 120mm-caliber mortar can also carry out flat-fire attack operations at a certain distance.

That is to say, place the gun body at an angle of about 45 degrees to the ground, then load the shells from the muzzle, and use the rope to carry out close-range artillery fire.

Zelen: "It seems that we need to build more types of arsenals as soon as possible, otherwise our country's resources may be wiped out by them in minutes."

Mike: "What do you want to do?"

Zelen: "Go back and discuss with them first."

Obviously, Zelen is not an emperor who is happy to see foreign forces setting foot on the territory of the Krorod Empire, especially when these foreign forces are still trying every means to "legally and reasonably" seize national resources.

So when Zelen returned to the palace and discussed with Prime Minister Heras and the others, Mike found Zelen's teacher, Schmidt Ivy Vivian, whom he had not dared to meet in the past.

Vivian: "How dare your cousin come to see me? No matter what, you..."

Mike: "Cousin, I...I..."

Vivian: "I know you have brought people here. But can you tell me your purpose this time?"

Mike: "I hope you won't tell me the true past of the person I brought here."

Vivian: "What? Could it be that you..."

Upon hearing her cousin's request, Vivian, who had not seen or communicated with her for many years, was so angry that she couldn't help but feel angry. After all, their mothers were biological sisters from the same mother, and the Bai family and the Schmidt family had a deep connection. Naturally, Vivian quickly realized that something was wrong.

Mike: "Back then, after my three sons died in a magical shock wave, I borrowed, no, stole one of your children."

Vivian: "So I have been waiting for you to explain this matter. After all, you have never done this before. If I guess correctly, you want to train this child that our shaman has carefully cultivated to avenge your son?"

Mike: "Yes. Although I have a lot of information about magic, in the end... using magic to fight magic is the best way. Of course, what I didn't expect is that there is not only one Ariko, It's a group of copied biological weapons, so now I can only discuss it with you. After all, she was seriously injured before and has memory problems. "

Vivian: "Then what?"

Mike: "Now she has basically forgotten that she can do magic, and she has also forgotten everything about the past at the Shaman Academy. She is temporarily staying with me as a follower who can settle accounts and shoot guns. Of course, her external identity is that of my family The maid was left behind by one of my sons."

Vivian: "Well, cousin, what did you ask her to do?"

Mike: "Assassinate Ariko. But Ariko didn't touch her, and the poisonous blast bugs blew her up and seriously injured her. In the end, I used a first-aid spray provided by the underground black market to give her first aid. Although her life was saved, she was still injured. The blood of poisonous boiling lice was mixed with the unknown ingredients of the spray, so..."

Vivian: "In order to avenge your son, you have to do this...but fortunately, she is an orphan, and her identity is easy to make up. But, cousin, you have to compensate me here."

Mike: "So I decided to send her to His Majesty."

Vivian: "What kind of compensation is this?"

Mike: "My compensation is to use several medicines on her and train her on how to use various weapons for self-defense. After all, His Majesty needs a personal guard here, and she is the best and safest candidate."

Vivian: "Give me the list of potions you have used, and then I will take her for a full physical examination. Then, cousin, I need you to complete some things. As the Shaman Academy has trained her, I also expect her to be able to Show your strength in compensation.”

Mike: "Okay."

Vivian: "And cousin, you...you really don't have a son? A son who can give you the end of your life..."

Mike: "No, they were all killed. Ariko is too scary, and he is not a target that can be eliminated using normal methods."

Vivian: "If you are willing, can you let one of your granddaughters come to His Majesty's side?"

Mike: "Well..."

Vivian: "Is this decision difficult?"

Mike: "I understand what you mean. But Your Majesty..."

Vivian: "The Krorod Empire is currently facing the biggest crisis since its founding. Without Your Majesty, can you still talk to me here?"

Mike: "Uh..."

Vivian: "I know that you have always been very hostile to the concept of monarch. However, you have to admit a fact no matter what. We Rimai people have always maintained the monarchy, and the vast majority of the people are still accustomed to the monarch. The presence."

Mike: "So I, the cabinet minister and the second-in-command of the Republic, have failed miserably. Obviously I..."

Vivian: "Cousin, you should not have allowed foreigners to interfere in the household affairs of our Rimai people from the beginning. Indeed, I can understand how much you hate Emperor Neser. However, promise me, you will definitely do it in the future. Continue to contribute your talents to our country. After all, you are a veteran businessman with absolutely rich experience. What's more, we have a lot of things in our hands that can be traded than you can do it yourself. Much better to be in self-exile than to wait for death on Semeru Island.”

Mike: "You..."

Vivian: "Your Majesty will help you continue the bloodline of the Bai family. You can rest assured about this. But you must also cooperate with me and hand over the child to me. I will clear up all the problems for you. And she I have a way to restore my magical power. After all, I am the dean of a shaman academy, and you know what I am capable of."

Mike: "I know."

Vivian: "Of course, Your Majesty... this child Zelen will definitely despise you for the rest of his life."

Mike: "Contempt? Vivian, I am 64 years old this year, and there are so many people who despise me. What's more, how many more years can I last?"

Woo woo woo...

However, compared to Vivian's preaching, the sound of air defense sirens from outside made Zelen immediately walk out of the arsenal.

Guard: "Your Majesty, there are three missiles flying towards our Sugui City from the north. Please leave immediately."

Zelen: "Leave? How to leave? This missile is coming directly to the door and wants to destroy us. Compared to me, you..."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

But before Zelen finished speaking, three large orange-painted cylinders fell directly from the sky and stuck directly on the ground of the square in Sugui City.

Then, as the people fled in an emergency, Zelen brought the guards over, and the missile casing suddenly opened.

Three female pig-headed men wrapped in green Tiber crystals woke up inside, and then their eyes glowed with a strange indigo light.

boom!

Although Zelen couldn't feel it at all, the invisible shock wave they formed caused surrounding buildings and even people to be blown away instantly...
