Compared to the blinding pink car, the other focus of everyone's attention was the mages who had temporarily gathered in the open space of the experimental field. According to the assembly form of the regular army, a hundred people formed a small horizontal rectangular formation, and then several small square formations gathered into a large square formation. There were a total of 614 people.
As an official mage, no matter how much they liked research and production work, there was no one who didn't have blood on their hands. It could also be said that without the baptism of blood, there was no way to cross that threshold.
The Holy City of Estali was close to the Guevana Empire, and many mages had joined the regular army of the empire. Although only a small number of people could become an elite member, most of them had basic military training. So as long as someone stood out to command, the mages of the Holy City would form a proper army square formation.
Their original identities were mages who joined the car manufacturing and research center. They were scattered in various posts, and today they were gathered together especially for the experiment. In fact, no one realized that the center already had such a powerful force when they didn't gather together. A team of more than six hundred mages had no problem sweeping through the territories of some small nobles.
Of course, this wasn't their purpose in joining the center, and it was impossible for them to organize at anyone's request and attack anyone. But the reason they gathered today was to do an experiment related to cars.
In addition to the mages, the duke's guards and the silver-bearded dwarves who were not on duty now also changed into melee weapons and equipment and lined up here. The four silver-bearded dwarves, in particular, were almost taller than them with hammers. Just by swinging them, they were strong and vigorous.
It was just that a certain emperor's own son spoiled the fun by saying, "Oh, so few people, not enough for me to kill. If you want to rely on them to plot against me, it's no use. "
The mages and knights all turned their heads in the opposite direction, and no one stubbornly refuted or complained.
The title of "Magic Prince" was heavy, and the battle where more than half of the emperor's three guards were killed or injured made the people of this empire feel the pain that went deep into their bones. The members of that elite army might be their relatives, or children they knew from childhood in the neighborhood, and then they were all gone. No one could blindfold themselves and say that it was all false rumors, because the damage was happening right next to them.
However, the god of plague that everyone was afraid of, Lin faced it very casually. He said, "It's too wasteful to use them to deal with you, and there's no benefit. If you want to fight, you have to fight a battle that you can only win, and a battle that you can only lose. Unless you have no other choice, you don't even want to fight. I gathered so many people just for an experiment. It has nothing to do with you. "
"Should I feel lonely after hearing you say that?" Azad shook his head with an exaggerated expression of regret. He then asked curiously, "Then what are they doing with so many people?"
"To test the car's defensive capabilities," Lin replied.
Azad asked again, "How do you test it?"
"Smash it! Smash with magic, smash with strength. Do you think they're here to watch a show? "
Azad asked again, "What if it's broken?"
"If it's broken, it means that its defensive capabilities aren't up to par. At this time, it was time to review the design of the defense, find the shortcomings, and reconstruct the defense system. Why do you have to ask such a simple question? Has your IQ deteriorated? "
A certain mage spoke with conviction, but the eyelids of the old butler Aihanu, who was listening at the side, twitched. If it was really damaged, it would cost his master's money to repair and modify it. How could this man speak so casually? Did he know that these few cars had already cost a Grand Duke's territory a few years' worth of taxes?
But of course, Azad didn't care about such trivial matters. He said with great interest, "Then I'm here to help. Things that can't move aren't very interesting. "
"I'll sit inside, although I won't be able to drive the car. You're not interested even like that? "
"Oh, you'll be inside!" Azad's eyes lit up as he said with great interest.
"Actually, I have no choice. Because what I want to test is the magic attached to the car, its effects, and the consumption of power. Although as long as the sensors are connected, the test data can be obtained from the outside. But if necessary, it will still need to be adjusted from the inside. Also, for the safety of the interior, it's more direct to experience it personally than to use a test dummy. And most importantly, if there's really danger, no one is better at running than me. If it were anyone else, and the car's defenses were really breached, they probably wouldn't have a chance to survive. So it's safest for me to do it personally. I don't want people to die from pure manufacturing work. "
Azad said with disappointment, "So that's how it is. Say, wouldn't it be exciting for you to accidentally put a dimensional anchor magic array on the car? "
"Hehe, I'll just tell you in a whisper. I've already tested it. Dimensional anchors are of no use to me. " Without waiting for Azad to continue asking, and of course, not wanting to satisfy the people who pricked up their ears to eavesdrop, Lin clapped his hands and said: "Okay, let's not talk nonsense. Once the test is over, everyone can return to their posts and continue to work. Let's not waste time. "
Without letting anyone ask, and without satisfying anyone's curiosity, Lin summoned several commanders and arranged the test. He said: "When I enter the car and get ready, I'll flash the headlights twice as a signal. Then, you can start the attack. The first wave of attack will be led by Jermaine and you. … "
The silver-bearded dwarf, who was named, nodded in acknowledgement.
"… Melee team, use the method you're best at to attack the first car. But considering the space next to the car, it's impossible to accommodate all of you. So when the time comes, it's up to you and the situation at the scene to decide how many people can attack. I won't interfere. "
"Then to what extent should we attack?" Asked Jermaine.
Lin stared blankly for a moment. Apparently, he didn't consider such a problem at the beginning. But he simply handed over the decision to the other party, saying: "If you think there's a chance to break through the shield and damage the car, then continue to attack. It doesn't matter if you dismantle the car. If the car is so fragile that you can dismantle it, then this defense system isn't safe at all. If you think there's a small chance of breaking through, then there's no point in continuing to attack, then retreat. And the further you retreat, the better. "
"Retreat?" Jermaine's voice carried a bit of anger. Such contempt for the silver-bearded dwarf was tantamount to an insult. But someone's next words made him swallow his resentment.
"The second wave of attack will be launched by the wizards. If you don't want to be affected, then of course you should stay out of the range of the magic attack as much as possible. There's nothing wrong with that. "
Jermaine, who wanted to refute, was speechless. Lin didn't care about this guy, but said to the commander of the temporarily formed wizard army, "The moment you launch the attack is the moment when the warriors are out of the range of the magic attack. You can discuss what magic to use, but three rounds of attack will be enough. If one round has already broken through the defense of the car, then stop the attack. "
After getting the consent of the wizards, Lin turned to look at the Demon Prince Azad, saying: "If three rounds of magic attack can't break through the defense, then you'll be the final trump card. You can attack however you want. I think with your sensitivity, you should be able to clearly judge whether you can break through this layer of shell. If you feel that you can't or are too lazy to attack, then stop. "
"You don't suggest that I stop as long as I break through the defense?"
Lin shrugged indifferently and walked towards car number one to make preparations. At the same time, he said: "If you really break through, of course I'll run first. Is there any point in telling you to stop? "
"Of course there's no point. If things are interesting enough, why should I stop according to your wishes? "
Still shrugging, Lin said: "So." After saying these three simple words, he got into car number one that was painted pink.
Everyone knew that the test was about to begin, and all of them held their breath and waited. When they saw the agreed signal, which was the headlights in front of the car flashing twice, the four silver bearded dwarves took the lead and raised their hammers that were bigger than their bodies, and smashed the pink car on the test field.
The Duke's guards didn't ride horses. Although their on-the-spot reactions were fast in the eyes of ordinary people, they still lost to the short-legged dwarves. The Duke's guards, who were following closely behind, had no choice but to give up four seats in the front row, giving the four silver bearded dwarves a chance to smash the car. But whether it was the silver bearded dwarves or the Duke's guards, in the end, they came up empty-handed.
Lin, who was sitting inside, was looking at the situation of the car's self-examination. When there was any damage to the car body, the three-dimensional model of car number one that was projected on the windshield would feedback what part of the car had gone wrong. Then the shaping spell would be activated, and the damaged part would be restored to the original set appearance.
However, the troops of the Duke's guards and the four silver bearded dwarves, as if they were scratching an itch, did not leave any marks on the car body at all. So the authority on the car was still in a full state, and the magic shield, which was the first line of defense, was not broken many times.
When the second wave of magic attacks came, the car body shook violently, and Lin couldn't help but feel nervous.
The self-examination program was projected on the windshield. Whether it was the stored authority energy decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, or the three-dimensional model of the car body showing several positions that were self-repairing, it was very worrying. Although all these attacks still did not break through the protection provided by the enchantment of the car body.
After three rounds of magic attacks, car number one was still standing strong. The internal protection measures were still not triggered even once.
But the people sitting in the car, looking at the authority energy that had been reduced by more than half, could not help but think of a question: if the authority energy was exhausted, could the car still withstand this group of people playing like this?
Just as Lin was thinking seriously, Azad appeared in front of the car. The devil's son was like a child, smiling innocently, and waving his hand at someone in the car that he could not see.
The attack was suddenly launched!
