The goblin Totokani was in the pilot's seat, and Lin was in the passenger seat. The people in the back were still not used to the Sid's acceleration. They gritted their teeth and sank into their seats, afraid that they would fall into a mess like before. But someone really wanted to say that it was nothing.
Shi Dong had already removed the elemental creature's body, leaving only the head, but this time he couldn't plug it into the spring in front of the pilot's seat. In the same position was a Hawaiian doll with a grass skirt that Lin had made in his free time.
To save time, the materials used were all magic materials, and the doll's appearance could be changed directly with molding. Ordinary materials could be changed by magic, and as long as the power was interrupted, they could return to their original state or decay at any time. And someone was too lazy to carve it out with a piece of wood, so he was very extravagant. He didn't use a lot anyway, so the cheapest scraps were enough.
And in making this magic doll, someone had also hidden some functions in it, as one of the secret functions of remote monitoring of the Sid. Of course, he didn't tell anyone. In the eyes of others, this was just a mascot that someone had made under strange persistence.
Looking at the doll under Totokani's rusty flying, sometimes shaking violently, sometimes changing direction, and sometimes swaying gently. Paired with the light grass skirt, it swayed like a water snake, and someone's feelings were all back. If the Sid had to say that it wasn't perfect, it was just missing a beauty icon.
But when someone was satisfied, others weren't too happy. For example, Shi Dong, who was in Kaya's arms, said regretfully, "What a pity, I quite like that seat."
Someone in the passenger seat really wanted to complain about Shi Dong's lamentation. But when he turned around and saw the black-haired, brown-skinned girl playing with the zombie head, he felt that if he opened his mouth, he would definitely go off topic. Kaya's hobbies were really too unusual. It was said that recently, she had started to ask the Lich for advice on necromancy magic.
He really wanted to tell her, "Miss, even if you want to learn necromancy magic, you should at least get the qualification of an official Magician first. What's the point of being stuck in the position of an apprentice? "
He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. The rest of the journey passed in this atmosphere without any surprises or dangers.
The reason why the journey was safe was no doubt because the Sid's super speed disrupted many of the Guevana Empire's plans.
After receiving the report of the 10th Legion's commander, Jarvid Poole, the emperor was surrounded by voices of people who wanted to remove him. But because too many people were operating in private, showing their greed for power and position, no one tried to solve the problems that had occurred. Instead, the emperor ignored the whispers, and Jawed Poole's position was thus stabilized.
In the Empire's military system, although the Emperor had the right to approve and dismiss generals, the candidates for the position were all provided by the Ministry of Military Affairs. This was to prevent the emperor from picking an idiot who didn't know how to fight because of his personal preference. Not to mention how many soldiers would be killed by such a person, if he were to fail in a crucial battle, the losses would be borne by the entire empire.
Of course, the military's's's's's's, was''s''s's''s's's's's's, of course, no one else's's. Such a system was designed to let the generals of the empire know who they should be loyal to and who had the right to decide their power.
On the other hand, the Emperor could dismiss a general at will, but the Ministry of Military Affairs would not recommend someone who only knew how to flatter the Emperor. This would only leave the position of Army Commander empty, and nothing could be done. Even if the Emperor appointed someone over the Ministry of War, the army would not obey such an order.
Such a system was a unique way of checking and balancing the upper echelons of the Guevana Empire. Of course, there were many ingenious operations that were difficult to describe.
In the face of the problem reported by Abadan City, the upper echelons of the empire had the same general direction, but there were differences in the details.
First of all, regarding Jawed Poole's purple-sealed document, everyone's common opinion was that it was ridiculous. If the Gate of the Abyss had been officially opened and the demons had invaded, everyone would have felt that it was more reasonable to see a request for help with a purple wax seal on their desk. Now, a mere Magician, a Lich, and a Black Dragon had surrendered. Since when had the Empire become so weak?
Some of the more radical ministers believed that the loss of a viscount's family and a thousand-man brigade was too heavy. The culprit had to be captured and sent to the stake so that the subjects could maintain their reverence for the Empire.
Some of the more moderate ministers advocated that the Empire should recruit capable people to join the Empire and become a part of this powerful country. This had always been the Empire's idea. There was no reason to leave such talents outside. They should find a way to recruit them. Of course, if the other party was determined not to agree, they could not be allowed to join other countries. At that time, it would be inevitable that some actions would be taken.
There were also neutral parties that advocated accepting them, but they had to be severely punished. Their lives could be spared, but they had to atone for their crimes. If they did not do this, it would not be enough to show the Empire's magnanimity and fairness.
No matter which faction it was, the culprit had to be captured first. Regarding this, His Majesty did not have any objections. He even felt that it was meaningless to waste time on these people. Therefore, he waved his hand and let the ministers deal with it themselves. As an old man, he had to focus on discussing more important national affairs.
Because a thousand-man brigade had been slaughtered, the main department in charge was naturally the Empire's Military Affairs Department. After all, an enemy that could challenge the military was not someone that the other departments could deal with.
After the Military Affairs Minister left the Emperor, he went directly to the military map room. There was a sand table map of the Empire's territory and the surrounding countries, as well as a group of quick-witted young noble officers.
Hundreds of years ago, this room had been used to store maps, and it had expanded to become the most important place for planning the Empire's military forces. Countless invasions and counterattacks had been carried out in this room.
Even when the Empire was at its weakest, the war geniuses in this room could still mobilize their military power and gain the advantage of being outnumbered in certain areas. They continuously accumulated small victories, allowing the Empire to defeat country after country and sweep them into the dust of history.
If the fake Lin Rui knew about the situation in this room, he would probably feel like he was in the General Staff Department. However, someone did not know. At the same time, he was placed on the sand table here without knowing and became the target of the young people's deductions.
Considering that the opponent had two mages as the main force, together with a black dragon with strong magical and physical defense, the young officers in the military map room suggested mobilizing the strongest First Legion's First Legion's First Magician Brigade. Furthermore, they would spend a lot of resources to use the Legion's Teleportation Magic Array and attach the highest level of importance to take down the opponent.
At the same time, they also suggested using the Empire's military intelligence division with private authority on the forum to issue orders to guard and encircle the enemy to the various legion commanders and the commanders of the garrison troops stationed in the city.
However, when he thought of a certain mage in the young officers' report, the Military Affairs Minister found it funny. The other party probably did not know that the forum he created had become the best weapon to pass on information and orders against him.
As the Empire's First Magician Brigade, it was a super luxurious lineup full of great mages. Even in the Society of Sorcerers, there were not many branches that had the means to pull out such an army, let alone to follow orders and obey orders like an army. Being able to mobilize such an army was the foundation of the Empire's confidence.
It was also because of such a brigade that could move quickly that the Empire could always maintain a state of peace, and the nobles were also quite restrained. It could not be helped. Mobilizing the First Magician Brigade to solve various problems would not take more than a day. Instead, what was more time-consuming was the time it took for the brigade to return to the capital after the problem was solved.
Teleportation Magic Arrays were set up all over the important cities in the Empire of Guevana. The rich could use the Teleportation Magic Arrays to travel between the borders of the Empire's east and west sides in a day, and then return to the capital. However, this could only be done on a small scale, and there was also a strict control on the resources carried.
To achieve the Legion's Teleportation Magic Array, not only did it consume a considerable amount of Magic Authority, it was also fundamentally different from the setup of ordinary Teleportation Magic Arrays. Only then could it be possible to teleport more than a thousand people and the resources they needed at the same time. Basically, only the Empire's capital had such an ability.
This was also the reason why the First Magician Brigade could quell the rebellions in various places so quickly. With the convenience of Teleportation Magic, they could be said to be watching over the Empire as if it were their own backyard. However, if they wanted to return to the capital after they were done, they would not be able to receive the same treatment as when they set off. Basically, they would have to rely on other methods to return.
It was precisely because of this that the city to which the brigade should be sent became an important factor in determining the outcome of the battle.
Predicting the opponent's whereabouts would cause a mere two mages and a black dragon to clash head-on with the Magician Brigade that the Empire was proud of.
。 This was what the group of young officers in the military map room were racking their brains to come up with.
After a discussion, the group of young officers unanimously agreed that sending the Magician Brigade to Haisi City was the best choice.
The reason was also quite sufficient. As a foreign mage, the most likely destination was the Holy City of the Magician World, Estali. If they wanted to take the Airship from Abadan City to the cities along the Apaches Mountains, it could be said to be the most classic route.
Also, because it was within the Empire's territory, there were many large cities where the Airship could be parked. Therefore, most people would choose to park in a city every day and spend the night there. After all, the comfort on the Airship was a far cry from that of the most ordinary hotels. Thus, after leaving Abadan City, Haisi City would be the next destination.
Even if the guess was wrong, the opponent's whereabouts should be in a city near Haisi City.
When the time came, it would be easy for the Airship Hub to temporarily conscript an Airship and use it to transport the Magician Brigade to the destination.
Therefore, after the military affairs minister signed the order, the First Magician Brigade of the First Legion of the Guevana Empire was dispatched!
