Chapter 461 The Empire's request for help - Wanting Magic Tank
The next day, Imric, who came to the outside of the palace, listened to Creon's report with great satisfaction.
After a night of emergency study, they finally understood some of the rules, but at the cost of some bruises and scars on their bodies.
"What do you plan to ask them to do? They are always waiting next to the palace, which may have some impact." Creon reminded the prince that this place symbolizes the majesty of Caledor's royal family and is by no means a place where one can mess around.
"Throw them to the training base in the north, get them equipment and send them to the battlefield of Naggaroth. If you survive, you can become Caledor's soldiers. Otherwise, they are just a bunch of idiots who waste food." "Understood." Humming a tune
,
Yi Mrik picked up the kettle for watering the flowers and began to water the carefully planted dragon's breath grass. The prerequisite for maintaining good physical and mental health is to have something to do. Otherwise, he will become like Malekith, who stays in the black tower all day. Seeing Ulthuan as a traitor.
Creon feels that the current state of the prince is not bad. Although he would rather go to the battlefield of Naggaroth, the safety of his wife requires great attention and he can only stay by his side day and night.
A messenger came to the palace on horseback. After seeing the prince watering the flowers, he did not follow the procedure and notified the guards first. He got off his horse and walked up to him. After saluting, he said, "Prince." Imric raised the kettle
flat
. , turned around and looked at the messenger,
"Aqil, why do you want to see me specifically?"
"The imperial envoy wants to see you, saying that he wants to further cooperate with Caledor in the military field."
Imri made these words Ke touched his chin. During this period, Caledor has been in the honeymoon period with the Empire. The Empire exported mechanical engineering technology in exchange for high-quality military equipment, and also actively sought Caledor's assistance in magic.
Although this matter will cause some criticism from the dwarves, under Thor Green's control, the three parties are still in a good diplomatic environment.
What does Magnus want? Imrik was a little curious about this matter. It was impossible to give him high-tech technology and items, and he didn't need to find wholesale equipment.
"At two o'clock in the afternoon, take them to the pavilion outside the palace. Remember not to let them send any more useless decorations. They are here to talk about cooperation, not to give gifts." "Yes." It was almost two o'clock, and he leaned on his
chair
. Imrik felt that the time was almost up, so he said hello to Adira, picked up the fire cloud pattern robe hanging on the hanger, and walked towards the predetermined location.
The person in charge of discussing cooperation matters was Walton Otis. After seeing the Dragon Prince approaching, he immediately stood up from the pavilion and said, "Thank you for
agreeing to this matter so quickly. This makes the empire feel that it comes from The enthusiasm of allies."
Imric signaled that there was no need to be polite and asked someone to pour the wine first.
"It's just a small speed. Sit down first."
Walton sat down next to half of the chairs. After receiving the wine , in order to bring some distance, he mentioned what happened yesterday,
"Before we talk about cooperation, I am very grateful to Prince Long for his help yesterday. If you hadn't happened to pass by, I might have had to find a bank to buy the lapis lazuli." He waved his hand
. This was nothing, and he didn't ask how he found it. Imrik decided to go straight to the point,
"You didn't send me a plan. What exactly are you talking about? If it's something Caledor can export, I will definitely agree."
A look of embarrassment appeared on Walton's face, and his originally catering smile stopped, but he immediately regained his composure.
When discussing cooperation with Prince Long, as long as the conditions are right, there is no need to speculate too much about each other's bottom line.
"The Conqueror, the tank with the same name as the armor you wore during the Great Holy War, has been mostly damaged and unusable after the Battle of Kislev." "The engineers
of Nuln are trying their best to study the armor left by Leonardo. The blueprints, after more than ten years of work, are still powerless against this glorious tank. The Conqueror's steam power system was severely overloaded during the Great Holy War, and even after being repaired for a long time, it still lost part of its power."
"What do you want Caledor to do for the empire?" Imric didn't care about the envoy's misfortune. Since he encountered a problem, the most effective way was to find a way to solve the problem rather than begging others for charity.
"Please forgive my cumbersome words, but I just want to tell you the situation of the Conqueror. After it was difficult to provide sufficient power, Nunn's engineers had only two options. The first was to reduce the thickness of the outer armor to maintain possession. Sufficient mobility; the second step is to replace the artillery with smaller caliber ones to reduce weight." Walton took out a letter with the gryphon fire paint logo from the cowhide bag and handed it to Imri with both hands. gram. "This is an urgent letter sent by His Majesty Magnus. I only received it last night."
After receiving the envelope, Imric tore it open and read the letter handwritten by Magnus word by word. Urgent letter.
After reading it, I can only say that this old boy has a really good idea. He bluntly said that he wanted to use rune magic to give the tank a major upgrade.
Originally, the empire should be looking for dwarves for this matter, but the rune blacksmith, as the most stubborn bearded man in the Mountain Kingdom, was skeptical about carving runes for his own cannons, let alone for humans.
After finding that he had hit a wall with the dwarves, Magnus immediately thought of Caledor. During the Great Holy War, the rune spells provided by the Vaal priests to provide shields to the warriors made him very greedy. Combining the information obtained from the exchanges between the two parties over the years, He believes that Caledo can definitely give the tank a good upgrade.
"Your emperor is really unique..." Imric put the paper into the envelope. When it finally came to the remuneration, Magnus believed that this matter should not be rushed and the remuneration would need to be determined based on the final results.
The implication is that you owe it first.
"What's your decision?" Walton looked at Imric carefully, trying to detect some clues. The Dragon Prince had a close relationship with the Savior. This was something everyone in the empire knew.
And this is why Nun engineers are willing to hand over the tank, a national weapon, to Caledor.
Imrik rubbed his fingers and thought for a moment. Tanks were of little use to Caledor, but if he wanted to maintain the combat effectiveness of the gradually increasing number of humans in the future, he might also be able to learn from the masterpieces of Leonardo da Vinci in the Middle Ages. .
But thinking about the structure of the tank, I couldn't help but frown. If we really wanted to enchant it, it would be a big project.
"I already know Magnus's thoughts. In principle, I don't mind providing magical support to the empire."
Joy appeared on the envoy's face. As long as the Dragon Prince spoke, half of the matter would have been solved.
"But in terms of specific implementation, this matter is not so simple."
"What do you mean?"
Imrik, who was not going to beat around the bush, made it clear,
"You also know that even in Caledor, the strength of each army There are also differences in equipment. Part of it is due to the characteristics of the troops, and the other part is the limitation of productivity. If you just want to reduce the weight of the Conqueror, I only need to send a Vaal priest to Nunn, and it will take three days. Solve it."
"But this is obviously a waste of my time. Since it is something that passes through my hands, it must be the best and strongest."
The envoy immediately responded, "Of course, this is a matter of course. Everyone knows that the things flowing out of Caledor are the best in the world." Imrik was quite satisfied with
this response. If so, he took out a paper and pen from his pocket and began to plan how to modify the Conqueror tank.
"I thought that the caliber of the tank's artillery was not enough. At least it had to be doubled. In order to prevent the tank next to the target from being hit, If the person is not dead, we should use a double-linked gun. The accuracy is not enough. To make up for the firepower, not only solid projectiles, but also explosive shells must be used." "But this will cause the recoil to be too large and the car to roll over, or even the people inside to be killed
. And the weight of ammunition..." The envoy, who was a technocrat, planned to use his professional knowledge to refute Imrik's idea, but he only saw a pair of fierce eyes.
He could only swallow and explain, "I'm just giving you some trivial advice. If you think it's useless, please plan according to your own ideas." That's right. Why does a layman talk so much nonsense
? More is good, big is beautiful, billions of turrets, billions of glory.
Imrik, who was interrupted by the special envoy's words, thought for a while and continued,
"There are also secondary guns. Your muskets are so boring. Caledor previously designed a close-range weapon to deal with the Skaven. The flamethrower used by a large group of enemies can be converted into a vehicle-mounted one by modification." "
The tank head must be pointed so that it can hit people hard, but human manufacturing technology makes me very uneasy. It may have to stop if it hits a piece of iron. ."
This is our fault, I'm really sorry. Walton complained in his heart, when it comes to steel processing technology, besides dwarves, who else can compare with Caledo.
Suddenly, Imrik made an important decision. Since he wanted to play with it, he would go for a big one.
"Well, I have the manufacturing technology of dragon blade. Although it must be improved for the empire, the guarantee is If it hits the city wall, it will immediately make a hole."
But how to solve the power source, speed is the guarantee of the impact power, surely this is not a living coffin. Walton immediately wanted to give his opinion, but seeing that the Dragon Prince seemed addicted to the small world and couldn't extricate himself, he could only choose to shut up.
But who knew, Imrik actually stopped, stroking his chin and thinking, and then asked the envoy, "Do you have any other tanks that need to be modified? I think there are too many upgrade options for this thing, and one tank is not enough to play with." ."
