In the throne room of the palace of Shengge City.
"Viscount Hohnheim, why didn't your father come in person?"
Klein, who was sitting on the throne, had a gloomy expression on his face. However, after a few days of settling down, he had regained some of his rationality. When facing the guests of the Hohnheim family, he still maintained a little demeanor.
Standing in front of him was Alphonse Hohnheim, the younger brother of Edward Elric.
"Father is currently busy helping His Majesty produce the magical machines you've requested. He has no time to spare, so I'm in charge of delivering this batch of goods. He asked me to express his apologies and greetings to you."
Alphonse smiled, and his words were watertight.
"Forget it. Duke Hohnheim has done a great service to me, Solant. Let's forget about this matter."
Klein said impatiently, "How is the quality of the goods delivered this time?"
"Your Majesty, please take a look. This is the latest magic equipment we have produced using the technology decomposed from the magic equipment we secretly purchased from the Irus Empire."
Alphonse took out a piece of armor and began to introduce the new armor to Klein in detail. "It uses multiple structures and can be quickly mass-produced through molds. At the same time, it is quickly woven. Its defensive power is greatly enhanced by the multiple buffer structures. Its defense against piercing and slashing has been significantly improved. At the same time, we have also enchanted this armor with Secondary Spirit Heart Mageweath and Secondary Dragon Scale Mageweath. It has reached Excellent-grade, which can increase the speed of the wearer and provide excellent defensive effects. It can withstand ten tier-one spells or one tier-two spell head-on attack. It can greatly reduce the casualties of the soldiers.
"Not only that, but because of the use of new technology, the production of this armor has been greatly increased. So far, 5,000 sets of armor have been produced. This time, we have delivered all of them to the logistics department.
"There's also this sword. It also uses a new quenching process, greatly increasing the strength of the sword. It's also enchanted with secondary armor-piercing mageweath and secondary sharpness mageweath. Its quality has reached Excellent-grade, but the cost has been significantly reduced. The price has dropped from 10000 gold coins to 8000 gold coins each … Oh, right, they're now using paper money, which is 8000 gold coins."
"At the same time, according to the products of the Irus Empire, we've also combined magic and assassin trap technology to develop a triggering magic trap. It can be set up underground in advance and be triggered when the enemy passes by, effectively limiting the enemy's range of movement and mobility. It's not expensive to make, only 2,000 gold coins each. Under extreme circumstances, it can kill a small team."
Klein was overjoyed. He waved his hand and said, "Price is not a problem! This time, I want as many as you brought! "
Alfons smiled brightly and said, "This time, we have brought a total of 10,000 magic traps with us, which is a total of 20,000,000 gold coins. We can send them to the logistics department later."
"What else do you have?"
After being depressed for several days, Klein finally heard some good news. His gloomy face finally looked better.
"Also, we tried to copy a magic machine based on the magic energy combine harvester, but we never solved the power problem. Their magic engine will explode once it is disassembled. We have lost more than a dozen alchemists because of this," Alfons said with a heavy expression.
"So in the end, we could only give up on disassembling it and directly use their engine to install it in our products."
Klein said, "I don't care how you solve it. I want to see the results!"
"Of course! Your Majesty! What we're making is not some agricultural machine, but a complete battlefield meat grinder! "
Alfons proudly took out a blueprint and presented it to Klein. He said, "Because it's not convenient to bring the real thing to the hall, Your Majesty, please take a look at this blueprint."
On the blueprint was a second-grade magic modified harvester. A huge blade wheel was added to the front, which could crush the enemy in front of it into meat paste.
Klein looked at the ferocious monster on the blueprint and was overjoyed. "Good guy! That's what I want to see in my heart! What's its name!? "
Alfons smiled slightly. "It doesn't have a name yet. Your Majesty, please give it a name."
Klein said without hesitation, "Let's call it a meat grinder. It will definitely shine on the battlefield! Tang En, that idiot, doesn't know what magic machines should be used for! "
He knows much more than you do …
Alfons secretly complained, then said with a smile, "Good name. This time, we brought ten meat grinders. They will definitely help Your Majesty achieve greatness!"
"Only ten!? That's too little! "
Klein frowned and said with a ferocious face, "At least a hundred! I want those arrogant Holy Knights to know what true power is! "
"There's no other way, Your Majesty. After all, we can't develop the magic engine. The magic engine is the real core of the meat grinder."
Alfons said with a bitter smile, "Because we can't disassemble it, we have no way to know the principle of the magic engine, so there's no way to imitate it. Although we have proposed several theoretical models, after verification, they can't achieve the same power standards …"
"It doesn't matter if you can't achieve it, as long as it can be used! Next, you must produce meat grinders with all your strength. I hope to form a legion next year, at least a thousand meat grinders! "
Next year? Whether you have next year or not is another matter …
Alfons was disdainful in his heart, but on the surface, he kept promising to complete a better magic engine and a better meat grinder.
"Ten then. At least it's better than nothing. This kind of weapon can play a decisive role. I think they will be pleasantly surprised."
Klein laughed wildly.
Even some of the ministers heard the good news brought by Alfons, and the panic in their hearts lessened a lot. Some people even began to wonder if it was a little too early to sell their assets now.
What if His Majesty Klein won?
Irus, Ellington's residence.
Edward said, "Alfons has gone to Sacred Song City as Your Majesty requested. Now, if nothing unexpected happens, Klein should be excited about the so-called 'new equipment.'"
Tang En sneered and said, "I hope these gifts will satisfy him."
"You're so bad."
Fiona next to him was a little speechless. "Even if Klein made this choice out of impulse at first, now he will be overwhelmed by the power of these new equipment. If he continues to insist on his previous choice, it will be too late to regret it."
This was the insidious part of Tang En. Klein may have been impulsive at first, but after calming down, he was likely to compromise. However, in order to prevent him from regretting it, Tang En deliberately let Alfons give him a big gift to increase his confidence in winning and let him stick to his previous decision.
This was to completely destroy Klein.
Edward said with a look of disdain, "Klein is an arrogant fool. He is still immersed in the power and wealth of the Solant Kingdom. He doesn't understand what real power is."
"Isn't it good that he is an arrogant fool?"
Tang En spread his hands. "It's troublesome to deal with opponents who are too smart. All kinds of schemes and schemes are too brain-intensive. I hate it, and I guess some people hate it too. They must prefer to see the strong crush the strong."
Some people?
Edward was confused, but he didn't care. He smiled and said, "All in all, I'm afraid the Solant Kingdom will become history this time. I wish Your Majesty in advance to reclaim the Solant Kingdom … No, it should be the Solant Domain."
"It's a little too early to congratulate."
Tang En said with a smile, "Even if the Solant City is reclaimed, the other lords of the Solant Kingdom might not accept this reality. They might even launch an uprising in the name of protecting the king and seek greater power."
Fiona said with a murderous look, "Then let's show them our strength before they have any thoughts of betrayal. Let's frighten them."
Tang En, Edward, Tina, and the others looked at Fiona in surprise.
Fiona blushed and said, "I'm just worried that the war will affect the stable development of the economy. If we can make them submit, we can reduce the impact of the war as much as possible. We can quickly expand the market of the Chamber of Commerce to the Solant Kingdom."
The Solant Kingdom was a huge market. The development of a new market would bring great benefits. If everything went well, the strength of the Datang Chamber of Commerce would increase by leaps and bounds again. It would completely grow into a monster.
"Do you still need us to do anything this time?"
Edward asked Tang En, "If it's possible, we can also set up some insidious traps for Klein …"
"There's no need."
Tang En shook his head and said disdainfully, "He can't win in a head-on battle. He can't win in a dirty game. This time, just in case, I've made preparations in advance. Isn't that right, Your Majesty Sasaglot?"
"Hmm?"
The Dragon King, who was reading with great interest, raised his head with a puzzled look. "Are you calling me?"
"It's nothing. You can continue reading."
Tang En smiled wryly and waved his hand. After the incident at Dragon Island was over, Sasha Geralt, who could finally relax, started thinking about the leisurely life in Ellington. In the end, when he came over, he found that almost every child had a comic book in their hands. At first glance, he was shocked, and immediately became addicted to the hot-blooded manga …
Therefore, the mental emptiness of the long-lived species must be solved with a rich entertainment industry …
This time, in order to prevent any accidents from happening in Lothamar Castle, Tang En specially called Sasaglot and the first Megalosaurus. They were responsible for guarding the sky. Once the believers of Chaos were eliminated and the Gate of Chaos appeared, it would be time for them to show their skills.
The powerful magic cannon armor was not for them to play with.
