Chapter 444 The astonished Ivina, the grand occasion of the city of fire oil (two-in-one)

There are not a few wizards who are as frightened by the magical power of nuclear explosions as Ivina.

If it hadn't been for the news of the Holy See's fiasco, they would have thought that there must have been a meteorite crash, magma eruption or other natural disaster here, which would have caused such a horrific scene.

"By the way, I must remind you not to get close to this area!" Del said solemnly. "Some time ago, several elemental wizards did not listen to the advice and wanted to study the elemental composition in the air in this area.

As a result, within a few days of entering the core area, the exposed skin began to ulcerate, and I was sent directly to emergency treatment. I don’t know what the situation is now.”

So scary?

Lucas was stunned. It had been so long, and just the aftermath of the magic could severely damage several official wizards. He couldn't imagine how terrifying it would be when such magic broke out.

In the crowd, a tall and thin middle-aged wizard looked at Ivina and saw the solemn look in each other's eyes. Then the wizard suddenly asked.

"Since Master Lin En possesses such powerful magic, why not just continue to conquer the empire and completely wipe out the Holy See of hostile wizards?"

The wizard who made the inquiry was named Monroe. Like Ivina, he was also a spy sent by the Holy See among wizards.

Through the operation of the local church, the two of them successfully infiltrated the Wizards Mutual Aid Association, and with the help of the chaotic situation, they gained the initial trust of Lucas and others with the name of a completely wiped out school.

One of the purposes of the investigation is to find out the details of the wizards.

After capturing the City of Fire Oil and defeating the crusade, according to the assumptions of the church's senior leaders, these wizards should continue to launch large-scale attacks. The empire even began to gather troops to prepare for war, even sending the God's Punishment Army to the north to investigate the evil god incident.

They were all urgently transferred back.

The Pope also made plans to defend the Holy City and confront the terrible doomsday magic. He directly organized a prayer ceremony for more than 100,000 people, ready to perform divine magic at any time.

However, the wizards had no intention of launching a large-scale attack, which made all the church's preparations come to nothing. The other party's abnormal behavior left all the church leaders confused.

Lucas and others were also very interested in Monroe's question and turned their attention to Del with curiosity.

"Well..." Del also paused.

In fact, he was also very confused about this. The congressmen also had a lot of speculations about the reasons for stopping the war. However, Del was naturally not stupid enough to reveal the situation in front of these wizards who did not know the details. Instead, he explained it to everyone from another angle.

Got up.

According to Master Lin En, one bite can't make a big fat man, and it only took about a year from the time they captured the kingdom's capital.

In the past, it would be much easier to rely on the royal power to cooperate with the local nobles and govern indirectly. Now it is replaced by wizards to directly manage the entire eastern territory of the kingdom. Just 30,000 musketeers and several thousand wizards are not enough.

Believers in remote areas caused a lot of troubles, which made them miserable.

In other words, their management scope has reached the limit in a short period of time, and they need to digest it for a while. It will not be too late to continue to attack after they have stabilized the internal situation.

Del's words dispelled most of the wizards' doubts, but Monroe was dubious.

This explanation sounds reasonable, but if you think about it carefully, there are still many things that don't make sense.

When the wizards defeated the crusade, it was the moment when the empire was at its weakest. Most of the elite main force was destroyed, Saint Lucia died in the battle, and the Lord Inquisitor was captured alive. For a while, the Pope had no time to mobilize the troops distributed throughout the empire.

force.

The straight-line distance between the City of Fire Oil and the Holy City is only three hundred kilometers. With the alchemy creations of the wizards, it can be reached in just a few hours. The other party is fully capable of using this powerful spell to inflict heavy damage to the Holy See instead of maintaining the current situation.

The stalemate stage.

Monroe couldn't help but have a guess in his mind. These wizards might just be pretending, but in fact they don't have the ability to release that magic again!

In other words, it is not magic that can cause such powerful damage, but natural disasters. The wizards have predicted and exploited this in advance through some means.

The more Monroe thought about it, the more likely it became.

He never believed that wizards could use such horrific witchcraft - this was completely beyond his knowledge of magic.

That is the power that only the Supreme Lord can possess!

Monroe thought about it in his mind, but guessing alone was obviously not enough to convince the Pope. He needed to collect more evidence.

The two patrolling new fighter planes soon returned, and the electromagnetic wave receiver placed on the airship immediately started to tick, tick, tick.

"Lord Del, everything is safe. The empire has not sent any gryphon knights to track or intercept." A pilot who was responsible for translating reported.

"Interception? They must have the courage to do so!" Del said disdainfully.

The Empire's Griffin Knights are a target in front of the new fighter planes. Unless they can conjure another fire dragon, no matter how much they come, they will be rewarded with merit.

Del's disdainful tone made Monroe feel very displeased, but he still suppressed his emotions and focused on the flashing receiver on the airship, making insinuations about its effects.

Del didn't mean to explain at all. The electromagnetic wave communication magic is still a secret that cannot be revealed.

The wilderness where everyone fled was only over a hundred kilometers away from the City of Fire and Oil. With the airship traveling at full speed, they arrived at the newly built airport in the city in just one hour.

The airport is actually a very wide square. The ground has been magically repaired to be very flat. It can accommodate more than two hundred airships. There is also a long runway in the center for new fighter planes to take off and land.

Ivina's expression was extremely tense, because this meant that they had officially entered the city controlled by the wizard.

Before that, she had imagined what this occupied western city would look like in the hands of wizards.

Bodies hanging on the towers, streets filled with unwashed blood, residents hiding in their houses in fear, wizards wearing robes and moving around strangely, perhaps even the smell of strange potions in the air...

But when she actually stepped into this city, she was extremely surprised by everything she saw.

The streets of the city of kerosene looked very wide, with countless pedestrians coming and going. The camel beasts pulling boxes of goods took heavy steps driven by the grooms, but in an instant they were filled with goods. The square iron box made of stone overtook him and was far behind.

Ivina has some impressions of this strange iron box. Judging from the information she received, it is called an alchemy cart by wizards and is a very powerful war weapon.

The shell is made of steel. The crossbows and swords in the hands of the soldiers are completely unable to break through the defense, and their speed is much faster than the war horses. When charging on the battlefield, they can easily crush dozens of times the cavalry...

Now it seems that in addition to war, this thing can also be used to transport goods.

Along the way, Ivina did not see the bloody, cruel, and dark scenes she expected. Instead, it looked like a very prosperous city. Everyone she saw was working, whether they were wizards or poor people. There is no way to tell that this was a place that had just been captured twenty days ago.

There are even slogans posted on the street saying "It is forbidden to defecate on city streets, and violators will be punished with ten whips."

In order to let the illiterate poor people understand the slogan, they also thoughtfully drew pictures and put a big cross on them!

"What are they doing?" Ivina pointed forward, where a few workers in plain clothes were laboriously erecting a slender pillar at the intersection.

There is a transparent spherical thing hanging on the top of the pillar, which looks very delicate.

Is this a decoration? Or is it a node that performs some kind of witchcraft...

Ivina secretly guessed in her heart, but the next second she heard Del explain. "This is a street lamp, used to provide light at night, so the night in the city of kerosene is as bright as the day!"

Lucas and others are amazed that the alchemy formula can continue to illuminate the entire city. It is simply unheard of for them. How much magic power does this require?

Monroe on the side silently made a note in his mind - the wizards set up lighting magic in the city to deal with night battles...

Immediately afterwards, Monroe looked around the city and recorded the changes in every place.

Although the entire city of kerosene seemed to be prosperous, he firmly believed that this was all superficial, and that the wizards must have a purpose in maintaining the superficial prosperity.

Fortunately, Monroe soon saw what he wanted to see.

Several wizards were using magic to blow down a dilapidated house, and then loudly ordered the poor people to carry the ruins on the ground into trucks.

Seeing this, Monroe sighed and shook his head, and made another note in his mind - the wizards brutally destroyed the houses of the poor, enslaved the Lord's followers, and forced them to build luxurious mansions and various other things for the upper echelons of the Parliament. War facilities.

Unlike Monro, who had his own filter, Ivina was equally wary of wizards, but she was still keenly aware of these working poor people. There was no fear or uneasy expression on their faces. On the contrary, she could see... a smile. ?

Just as he was thinking about it, Del started to complain. When they captured this city of kerosene, the entire slum was so smelly that it was really hard to see.

In addition, many houses were destroyed during the raid, which seriously affected the appearance of the city. Therefore, Master Lin En proposed to carry out a major renovation of the city, which happened to be widened and repaired so that the alchemy carts could move on the streets. Passage went smoothly.

"Where should these poor people who have lost their houses live?" Ivina asked with a frown.

"Isn't it over there?" Del said, pointing to the neat and elegant resettlement houses that had just been built in a cleared area.

Under the watchful eye of Ivina, cartloads of stones were transported here by alchemy carts, and then elemental wizards cast spells to assist the workers in erecting the frame of the house.

The wall is simply made of concrete and stone. Due to the shortage of steel and the inconvenience of casting spells, there is no steel structure inside. However, it is much stronger than the original dilapidated wooden and thatched houses of the poor.

When entering this slum area, Ivina noticed the houses being built, but she did not expect that such beautiful houses would be prepared for the poor.

However, the buildings were not built as quickly as they were demolished. Those who had lost their houses and had no place to live were temporarily relocated to the mansions and manors of nobles.

It is very spacious and has many rooms, so hundreds of people can easily fit there.

Under Del's explanation, Monroe almost suspected that he had heard wrongly. These wizards actually let these lowly poor people live in noble manor...

But soon, Monroe no longer struggled with this trivial matter, and a surge of anger suddenly rushed into his heart, because he found that the church in the City of Fire and Oil was directly demolished by wizards, and the statue of God was demolished.

It was cut into eight pieces and put on a truck for transportation.

According to these wizards, the statue will be thrown directly into a high-temperature boiler to melt into copper water, and then the copper will be used in more important places, such as making street lamps...

Such blasphemous behavior almost made Monroe faint from anger on the spot.

Del continued with a smile. "I heard before that this statue was made by the lord of the City of Fire and Oil to show his devout faith. The whole body was made of gold, which made the alchemists happy for a long time.

, but when I smashed it open, I found that it was only plated with gold on the outside, and it was all copper inside!"

"But this church is in a good location. We are planning to demolish it and build a new train platform here!"

Del pointed to the station where the walls had not yet been built and the huge square iron box that was transported here by several airships. He proudly told everyone about the alchemical creation recently developed by this magic research institute.

"What you see is the front of the train, which is used to provide transportation capacity, and the carriages at the back can be used to carry people and goods!"

"A train has a total of fifteen standard carriages. One carriage can carry a hundred people or transport about sixty tons of goods when squeezed!"

Railways are now being built within the kingdom, and soon this train will be able to travel throughout the kingdom.

"So what's its speed? How does it compare with an airship?" Ivina said with a solemn expression.

"Of course it's not as fast as an airship when loading cargo, but it can still reach a speed of about ninety kilometers per hour." Del said casually.

Hearing this, cold sweat broke out on Monroe's forehead. He simply calculated that if Del hadn't lied, this thing called a train could carry 900 tons of cargo, or 1,500 people.

The legion reached the royal capital from the city of fire oil in one day.

Although Monroe felt that these wizards were exaggerating, even if this thing called a train was only one-third as effective as the other party said, it was still an extremely terrifying threat, and the news must be conveyed as soon as possible!
