Magic Tower Starry Sky
Chapter 549: went awry again
In Nagada City, the Tenth Experimental Brigade, which arrived earlier, followed the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and everyone and supplies entered the designated airship. At the same time, all airships that dock at Nagadai Airport must be moored at designated locations. Generally speaking, they are distributed on the periphery of the airport, and there is a relatively large space in the central part, so that latecomers will intuitively dock at the center of the encirclement network.
In the first row outside the open space in the center, there are airships containing the tenth brigade's troops. All the ships are kept activated, so that they can set off on the airship immediately after receiving the order to transfer; or leave the ship immediately after receiving the order to attack, and surround the target.
And this time the empire's combat preparations are not limited to one brigade. There are also several airships with particularly excellent attack capabilities and elevation limits, entering the clouds to ambush. As soon as the target appears, block the sky immediately, making sure that the opponent cannot escape.
It's just that this instruction from the Gwana Empire made the owners of the requisitioned airships quite disapproving. If it was the Hyder Empire with an airship corps, it would never make such a mistake.
Whether in the sky, at sea, or even on land, speed is everything. If the Sid was really as stated in the intelligence, none of the owners thought it was possible to intercept the other party.
The moving airships bombarded each other, either at close range, or experienced gunners knew how to predict. But the premise of these experiences is that there is not much difference in the speed of the two airships. At the speed of the Sid, the target escaped from the firing line after probably aiming well and preparing to launch.
In fact, after this incident, the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Gwana Empire also re-established the opinion of the airship corps for internal discussion. The reason why this proposal was shelved before is because the shipbuilding technology is not as good as that of the Hyder Empire, and secondly, there are not many high-quality woods suitable for shipbuilding in Haider that belong to the level of magic materials.
Regardless of technical issues, the cost of building an airship similar to that of the Hyder Empire in the Gwana Empire will be much more expensive than others. But these problems will no longer be a problem after capturing the Sid.
The Gwana Empire suffered a loss in this operation. As the hostile side, they certainly understood the significance of the Sid's speed advantage better than anyone else. It doesn't need to be formed to the size of a legion. As long as they can transport a large group, it means that they can put the power of the empire's sharp knife on any battlefield at will, fast in and fast out, and tear up the front line at will before the enemy reacts.
So in the military drawing room, there were young officers who were free and began to discuss the usage of this airship brigade. At the same time, he thought about which brigade of the First Legion would be disbanded, and the number of the Tenth Experimental Brigade, which had only been established for about three years, would be moved forward.
The attitude of everyone from top to bottom seems to have regarded the Sid as something in their pocket. This caused the Minister of Military Affairs who returned to wait in the military library to worry for no reason. Is it too early for a group of young people who have not experienced major setbacks to stay in such an important place?
In the city of Nagada, the transcendents of the Tenth Experimental Brigade gathered on the same airship. This airship can be regarded as the requisitioned one, the most luxurious and the fastest. Due to military regulations, they cannot drink alcohol. But they still brewed a big pot of refreshing tea to keep everyone in their best condition.
Their mission consists of destroying the airship to a limited extent, making it impossible for the target to fly again. So they all keep their most destructive weapons by their side, waiting for their targets to appear.
It's just that the waiting time is not so good. There was that impatient person who was pacing in the airship, going back and forth, making other people feel upset as well.
"Big man, stop. You're going to make me faint." Someone said dissatisfied.
The person who was complained was also dissatisfied, saying: "Why hasn't the target appeared yet? It's just a few kittens, and the black dragon looks tricky. Wouldn't it be better to finish the fight early and go back to rest earlier?"
"Be patient." The captain, who is also an extraordinary person, is of the same rank as a general, admonishing the juniors who have stepped into the same realm, and said: "Sometimes the difference between the hunter and the prey lies in who is more patient."
"Here we come!" A young man with aristocratic status suddenly shouted as an accompanying officer specially dispatched by the military library. He quickly operated the interface on the water mirror screen, and under the watchful eyes of all the people in the airship, he said excitedly: "The latest sighting location of the Sid is Lebap City."
The Transcendent, who had waited impatiently for a long time, immediately shouted: "Great! Now that we know the location of the target, let's set off immediately, surround and destroy them!" Although the voice was loud, there were very few responders. Noticing the strange situation, he looked at the blank expressions of the others and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why haven't you set off yet?"
Coughing and clearing his throat, the captain of the Tenth Battalion asked the accompanying officer from the military library and said, "Well, where is Lebapu City? It doesn't seem to be a city near Nagadai." Only Chinese Website
Also dumbfounded was the accompanying officer who was very excited at first. The plan made by the military library cannot be said to be detailed. With Nagadai City as the center, more than a dozen surrounding cities that may be the target of the airship docking have made a supporting plan according to the distance.
Those with short distances have more time, can carry more equipment, and make full preparations before the battle. Available attack options include waiting until the opponent is resting in an inn, surrounding them, and attacking at night. There is no room for the distance, but the minimum level of preparation and planning can still be achieved.
It's just... these cities don't include 'Lebap City'. The reason is simple, because the city of Lebap is not near the Abachi Mountains at all, that is, it is not a city that belongs to the Abachi Line. After crossing the mountains, he flew northwest for a few days before reaching a city on the edge of the desert, a barren land. This is where everyone searched for a long time on the map of the whole territory of the country before they found the place.
Then all those who followed the movement of the Sid, whether they were in the military library of the Imperial Capital's Military Affairs Department, on the airship in Nagadai City, or in the barracks in Hailis City, all collapsed. Of course, some people laughed it off.
It takes at least ten days to take a normal airship from Basra City to Lebap City. In other words, the speed of the Sid is even faster than what was shown the day before. And they also completely deviated from the direction of going to the holy city of magicians, Estali, and headed for a place that was out of reach. In this situation, how can the young noble officers in the military map room not go crazy!
Just like the rules on a chessboard, a **** can only move one square forward, and cannot move more, nor change direction. As a result, the idiot on the opposite side who couldn't play chess directly flipped the chessboard. There was no grid, and the only **** in his hand could move as he wanted. He was extremely capricious.
But if they really paid attention to the intelligence of this group of people, and thought about and analyzed it seriously, the movement of the Sid would not be surprising.
First of all, although the original appearance cannot be seen, the Sid is not a newly built airship, but a transformation from the goblin airship Hindenburg. The original Hindenburg used a huge gas balloon to provide buoyancy, and the Goblin version of the fuel engine was used as the propulsion mechanism.
Although the modified Sid has discarded the balloon, the buoyancy is provided by a better magic device. But the design of the fuel engine is still retained, but it has been changed to nothing. Of course, this is from the point of view of the average native of Lost Earth; to someone, he is just taking the mature engine design of the earth and using it.
Since the engine is still the main propulsion power of the Sid and the secondary source of supplementary power, he must replenish fuel. In Midi, it is the extracted crude oil, which is provided to the fractionation tower installed inside the airship for refining.
Crude oil is lost, but it is not completely useless. At least as a weapon of war, it can create a flame that is difficult to extinguish. So in the "dead place where black water will overflow", there are still some people who collect crude oil in small quantities. However, in terms of mass production, there is only one place in the empire, and that is the autonomous city where the goblin clans gather—Lebap.
This was once the capital of the Goblin Empire, and it was also a rich and beautiful place, a paradise that everyone yearns for. As for why it turned into today's desert terrain, it is actually the same reason as the desertification of the earth. Failure to do a good job in water and soil conservation, over-exploitation, treating natural resources as inexhaustible, overexploitation and overexploitation, will eventually leave nothing but dead silence.
However, according to Midi, the goblins are too good at making troubles, blasting everywhere, until finally no grass grows, and it turns into a desert... Actually, if you think about it seriously, it still makes sense.
Although there is nothing left here, 'black water' will emerge from the sand, which has become the most frequently contacted and researched thing by the goblins who stay here. For them, of course, they hope to develop the use of these 'black water' so that they can exchange for the supplies they need for life.
It sounds aggrieved, but in fact the goblins are also very aggrieved. The combat power of the goblin empire was once unmatched, and its power shook the ground. From Lin's point of view, regardless of the factor of bombing, many weapons of goblins are ahead of the times.
But the countries on the earth that can afford modern warfare~www.wuxiaspot.com~ are all big industrial countries, relying on a strong industrial base and natural resources produced by themselves, they can run rampant. The Goblin Empire doesn't have that foundation, so they go off like fireworks and then die in three seconds.
The goblins also wanted to escape from this barren land, and only a handful stayed here, remembering the glory of the goblin empire. However, they lost resources and a lot of technology lost due to the explosion. In the end, they lost to other Homo sapiens who expanded their territory, and were driven back, or left this traditional land of civilization development and entered the former wilderness.
After that, it went through several eras in which different races were the protagonists, as well as the dark age ruled by the demon king Tikal, and then entered the current era dominated by humans. The former Gwana 'Allies' was established, and the goblin clan paid a considerable price to become a member of the Hundred Clans Alliance.
As for the city of Lebap, other races did not bother to take it, which allowed the goblins to keep it as the last memory of the glory of the former empire. So when the goblins talk about this city, they are full of grievances...
How does it feel to guard an oil field and say that you are poor and unlucky? A certain time traveler can't imagine.
