Although they had been prepared for this, the entire upper echelons of the Cullen Kingdom and the Dragon Tribe had prepared with the mentality of "taking the initiative to attack". In the end, the enemy suddenly launched a large-scale attack, catching them unprepared.
This was especially true for the current "aimless" attacks, which made Camilla feel like the demons had turned into gophers that were popping out everywhere. She was hoping that the demons would make a move because that way, they could lock onto and kill the enemy — but everyone knew that behind this kind of attack, there must be an even sharper attack from the demons. It was just that the timing was hard to determine, and the form of the attack was unpredictable.
If there was anything that could make the higher-ups feel afraid, it would be the "unpredictability" of Kazvara's fighting style. It was probably the thing that gave Roddy and the others a headache and fear.
"This is the Sweeper Squad. Please respond if you copy."
A voice suddenly came from the magic circle. The mage who had been waiting immediately responded, "The bridge of the Hovela has received the message. Please report the situation. Over."
"The portal has been destroyed. The demons near the bombed area have been dealt with. There are no more demons around. We are exploring the outside. We have just killed three infected beasts, if —"
At this point, the tone of the voice suddenly changed, "There is a large number of demons attacking from the right! Many of them! "
Camilla's expression did not change. She immediately replied, "Then report the coordinates! What are you panicking for?! "
The other party calmed down and hurriedly said, "Clark! Fire the signal flare! The enemy is two hundred and twenty meters south of us, no, two hundred meters away! They are very fast, and they are closing in! "
As he spoke, the sound of crystal guns firing could be heard. Camilla looked to the side, but did not let the crew control the cannons. It would take at least a minute for them to manually adjust the cannons.
She immediately activated an inconspicuous-looking small magical formation next to her hand.
After a faint light lit up, Camilla slid her finger a few times on it. The surface of the magic circle shone brightly, and the cannons on the side of the Hovela adjusted rapidly at almost the same time. In less than ten seconds, they locked onto their positions.
Camilla glanced at it and immediately gave the order to "fire". In the next moment, the supporting cannons immediately blasted the demons …
Half an hour later, the "Sweeper Squad" completed their mission and carried the wounded back to the Hovela. Due to the fact that reinforcements had arrived quickly, the thirty to forty infected beasts that suddenly appeared did not pose any threat to them. Only three of the team members were injured by the explosion, while the rest were unscathed.
On the other hand, the meritorious spell formation had already stopped working, and the energy crystal on it had already been removed.
On the way back, Camilla kept looking out of the window and thinking about something. Naiffy, who had been allowed to enter the command area of the bridge, looked at the magic circle that 'assisted in locating coordinates' and asked, "Captain, the reaction speed of this magic circle seems to be faster than last time."
She was used to being addressed this way.
"Yes, I've optimized it halfway, but it hasn't reached the desired effect yet."
Camilla replied, while Naifei scratched her head. "Is this the so-called 'intelligence'?"
The reason why she said so was because the adjustment of the angle of the cannon was not done manually, but automatically according to the coordinates. In other words, in a sense, this could be called an 'intelligent' magic circle. It was not the same concept as a normal magic circle. It was an existence that could calculate and make continuous decisions on its own.
However, Camilla did not use it to assist in the aiming during the first shot because the energy consumption of this magic circle was too high. Just to handle the 'coordinate adjustment' task just now, it had consumed the energy of two charging crystals, which was more than enough for a 'crystal car' to run for more than a hundred kilometers.
If it was just a simple command, there was no need to talk about dealing with more complicated commands. Although Camilla had touched the edge of the 'intelligent magic circle' under the inheritance of the Grand Arcanist Cadgar, she only knew a little bit about it.
Her arcana level was improving rapidly. At the same time, because of the war and the work she was currently responsible for on the 'Hovela', she had made rapid progress in the 'intelligent' magic circle. However, the more she studied these things, the more she realized that the so-called 'intelligent' magic circle was just a magic circle that could process information on its own. It was impossible for it to think on its own.
This was not a matter of probability. It was just that she did not see any hope of achieving 'self-awareness' on this path … No matter how exquisite the design of the array was, it could only deal with the problem according to the route that she had designed. There was no possibility of 'self-awareness'.
Therefore, Camilla had been pondering a question at this time: how was the 'self-awareness' of Elsen City, the existence known as' Turing ', born?
Naifei did not understand this aspect of the magic circle. She was only thinking about the problem of optimizing the magic circle. She asked, "Is it because the information it needs to process is too complicated?"
"My level is too low. This is the best I can do."
Camilla did not feel embarrassed to admit this in front of her daughter. On the path of magic, if you can do it, you can do it. If you can't, you can't. There was no middle ground.
Naifei said, "Brother Roddy always has a solution for this kind of thing. Why don't we ask his opinion?"
"Well, let's talk about it later. I'm afraid he is much busier than we are now."
Camilla did not take it seriously, but Naifei nodded and took note of it. She urged her mother to write a letter after returning to Elsen City.
When the letter was sent to Hollier City, Roddy was not in the cabinet meeting like before. At this time, he had just arrived at the southernmost port of the kingdom by plane. Looking at the mess outside the shipyard, he squinted his eyes and was silent for a moment. Then he said, "Only one wave of murlocs attacked here?"
"Yes, Prime Minister. Fortunately, the murlocs in the water gave an early warning, and we have taken precautions according to what you said during the construction. The counterattack of the guards and sorcerers was effective. Those monsters were killed very quickly …"
The corpses had long been cleaned up, but there were still dried blood stains on the walls of the shipyard. There were also pits and body fragments left by the magic bombardment on the ground.
Roddy used his boots to kick away a few purple fish scales and stepped into the interior of the shipyard.
The huge figure of the steel warship appeared in his sight. The towering chimney reminded him of the steam-powered warships in his memory.
Two huge cannons had been installed, and the busy workers were working with the sorcerers to install the third cannon. At this stage, it meant that the internal structure of the warship had been completed. So Roddy went straight in and walked up and down. Then he said, "Find someone to connect with the 'Plane Magic Circle Research Department'. More workers are already on the train. The shipyard needs to be expanded. We don't have much time."
After a pause, he added, "From now on, the military defense level here is the highest. The residential areas of civilians must be quarantined."
"Yes, Prime Minister!"
