Chapter 444 Shocked Ivana, the Grand Occasion of the City of Fire Oil ([-] in [-])

There are not a few wizards who are as frightened by the power of nuclear explosion magic as Ivana.

If it weren't for the news of the Holy See's disastrous defeat, they would only think that there must have been a natural disaster such as a meteorite crash or a magma spewing, which would have caused such a terrifying scene.

"By the way, I have to remind you, don't get close to this area!" Del said solemnly. "Some time ago, a few elemental wizards refused to listen to the advice and wanted to study the composition of the elements in the air in this area. As a result, after entering the core area for a few days, the exposed skin began to fester, and they were sent directly to emergency treatment. I don't know How is the situation now?"

so scary?
Lucas was speechless. It has been so long, and the aftermath of magic alone can severely damage several official wizards. It is impossible to imagine how terrifying such magic will be when it erupts.

In the crowd, a tall and thin middle-aged wizard and Ivana looked at each other, clearly seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes, and then the wizard suddenly asked.

"Since Master Lynn 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 asked the question was named Monroe, and like Ivana, he was also a spy sent by the Holy See among the wizards.

Through the operation of the local church, the two of them successfully mixed into the Wizards' Mutual Aid Association, and with the help of the chaotic situation, gained the initial trust of Lucas and others under the name of a school that had been wiped out.

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

After capturing Fire Oil City and defeating the crusading army, according to the vision of the high-level church, these wizards should continue to launch large-scale attacks. The empire even began to gather troops to prepare for war, and even sent the God's Punishment Army to investigate the evil god incident in the north They were all called back urgently.

His Excellency the Pope is also ready to defend the holy city against that terrible doomsday magic, and directly organized a prayer ceremony of more than 10 people, ready to perform the divine descent technique at any time.

But the wizards didn't intend to attack on a large scale at all, and all the preparations of the church were in vain. Such an abnormal behavior of the other party made all the senior members of the church confused.

Lucas and others were also very interested in Monroe's question, and they turned their attention to Del curiously.

"Well..." Del also paused.

In fact, he was also very confused about this point. Members also had a lot of speculations about the reasons for stopping the war above, but Del was naturally not so stupid as to reveal the situation in front of these wizards who didn't know the details, but explained it to everyone from a different angle. up.

According to Master Lin En's words, it would only take a year or so since they captured the capital of the Kingdom if they could not become a fat man with one bite.

In the past, relying on the royal power to cooperate with the local nobles and govern indirectly, it would save a lot of worry. Now it is a wizard who directly manages the entire eastern territory of the kingdom. Thirty thousand musketeers and thousands of wizards are far from enough, so that The believers in remote areas made a lot of troubles, which made them burnt out.

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, and it will not be too late to continue to attack after stabilizing the interior.

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

This explanation sounds reasonable to a certain extent, but when you think about it carefully, there are still many things that don't make sense.

When the wizards defeated the crusade army, it was the weakest moment of the empire. Most of the elite main forces were destroyed, the saint Lucia died in battle, and the judge was captured alive. For a while, the pope would not have time to mobilize the troops scattered all over the empire. force.

The straight-line distance between the City of Fire Oil and the Holy City is only [-] kilometers, and it only takes a few hours to reach it with the alchemy creations of the wizards. stage of stalemate.

A guess emerged in Monroe's mind. These wizards might just be putting on airs, but in fact they don't have the ability to release that magic again!

In other words, what can cause such powerful damage is not magic at all, but natural disasters. The wizards predicted and used this in advance through some means.

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

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

That is the mighty power that can only be possessed by the Supreme Lord!
Monroe was thinking about it in his mind, but guessing alone was obviously not enough to convince the Pope, he still needed to collect more evidence.

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

"Master Del, everything is safe. The Empire did not send Griffon Knights to track or intercept it." A pilot in charge of translation reported in a statement.

"Intercept? They have to have the guts!" Del said disdainfully.

The Empire's Griffon Knights are the target in front of the new fighter planes. Unless they can conjure another fire dragon, it will be more or less a merit for them.

Del's disdainful tone made Monroe very unhappy, but he suppressed the emotions in his heart, and focused on the flickering receiver on the airship, figuring out its function.

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

The wilderness where everyone fled was only more than 100 kilometers away from the city of Huoyou. Under the full speed of the airship, they arrived at the newly built airport in the city in just one hour.

It is said that the airport is actually a very wide and large square. The ground has been repaired by magic and is very flat. It can accommodate more than [-] airships. There is also a long runway in the center, which can be used for new fighters to take off and land.

Ivana's expression was extremely tense, because it meant that they had officially entered the city ruled by wizards.

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

Corpses hanging on the towers, streets with unwashed blood, citizens hiding in fear in their houses, wizards wearing robes and moving strangely, perhaps even the air smells of strange potions...

But when she actually stepped into the city, she was extremely surprised by what she saw.

The streets of the city of fire oil look very wide, and there are countless pedestrians coming and going. The camel beasts pulling boxes of goods are taking heavy steps driven by the grooms, but they are transported by one in an instant. The square iron box made of stone overtook it, leaving it far behind.

Ivana had some impressions of this strange iron box. From the information she got, it was called an alchemy cart by wizards, and it was a very powerful weapon of war.

The shell is made of steel. The crossbows and swords in the hands of the soldiers can't break through the defense at all, and the speed is much faster than the horses. When they charge on the battlefield, they can easily crush ten times the number of cavalry...

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

Along the way, Ivana did not see the bloody, cruel, and dark scene she expected. Instead, it looked like a very prosperous city. Everyone she saw was working, no matter whether it was a wizard or a poor person. It is completely impossible to see that this is a place that was just captured 20 days ago.

There are even placards on the streets that say "It is forbidden to urinate and defecate on the streets of the city, and offenders will be whipped ten times".

In order to make those illiterate poor people understand the slogan, they also thoughtfully drew a pattern and put a big cross on it!

"What are they doing?" Ivana pointed forward, where several plainly dressed workers were struggling to erect a slender pillar at the intersection.

A transparent spherical thing hangs from the top of the pillar, which looks very delicate.

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

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

Lucas and the others are so amazed, they have never heard of the alchemy formula that can continuously illuminate the entire city. How much magic power does it need to consume?
Monroe on the side made a silent note in his heart—the wizards set up light magic in the city to deal with nighttime battles...

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

Although the entire Fire Oil City seems to be thriving, he firmly believes that this is definitely an appearance, and the wizards must have a plan to maintain the superficial prosperity.

Fortunately, Monroe soon saw what he wanted to see.

Several wizards were casting magic to knock down a dilapidated house, and then loudly commanded the poor to move the ruins all over the ground into trucks.

Seeing this, Monroe sighed and shook his head, and made another note in his heart—the wizards cruelly destroyed the houses of the poor, enslaved the believers of the Lord, and forced them to build luxurious mansions and various war facility.

Unlike Monroe, who has her own filter, Ivana is also wary of wizards, but she still keenly notices that these working poor people do not have that fearful or uneasy expression on their faces. On the contrary, they can still see... a smile ?
Just as he was thinking about it, Del began to complain. When they captured the city of fire oil, the entire slums were so stinky that it was really unsightly.

In addition, a lot of houses were destroyed during the raid, which seriously affected the appearance of the city, so Master Lin En proposed to carry out a major renovation of the city, which happened to widen and repair the roads along the way, so that the alchemy vehicles could be used on the street. Passed smoothly.

"Where should these poor people who have lost their houses live?" Ivana frowned and asked.

"Isn't that right there?" Del said, pointing to the newly built, neat and dignified resettlement houses in a cleared area.

Under the watchful eyes of Ivana, the carts of stones were transported here by the alchemy cart, and then the elemental wizard cast spells to assist the workers to build the frame of the house.

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

When entering this slum area, Ivana noticed the houses under construction, but she didn't expect such a beautiful house to be prepared for the poor.

However, the construction was not as fast as the demolition. Those citizens who lost their houses and had no place to live were temporarily arranged in noble mansions and manors.

It is very spacious there, and there are many rooms, which can easily accommodate hundreds of people.

Under Del's explanation, Monroe almost wondered if he heard it wrong, these wizards let these lowly poor people live in noble manors...

But soon, Monroe stopped being entangled in this trivial matter, and a surge of anger suddenly rushed to his heart, because he found that the church in the city of fire oil was directly demolished by the wizards, and the statue of God was even more so. They were disassembled into eight pieces and loaded on a truck to be transported away.

According to these wizards, this 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 on the spot.

Del continued with a smile. "I heard that this god was built by the lord of the city of fire oil to show his pious belief. The whole body is made of gold. The alchemists who killed it were very happy for a long time, but when they smashed it open, It turned out that it was only plated with gold on the outside, and the inside was all copper!"

"However, the location of this church is good. We are planning to tear it down and build a new train platform here!"

Del pointed to the station where the walls hadn't been built yet and the huge square iron box transported here by several airships, and proudly told everyone about the alchemy creation recently developed by the Magic Research Institute.

"What you see is the front of the train, which is used to provide capacity, while the rear compartment can be used to carry people and goods!"

"A train has a total of fifteen standard cars, and one car can carry a hundred people or transport about sixty tons of goods!"

Now the railway is being built in the kingdom, and it won't be long before this train can pass through the whole kingdom.

"Then how is its speed? Compared with the airship?" Iweena said with a serious expression.

"Of course it's not as fast as an airship when it's full of cargo, but it's still about [-] kilometers per hour." Del said casually.

Hearing this, Monroe's forehead was already breaking out in cold sweat. He simply calculated, if Del hadn't lied, this kind of thing called a train can carry nine hundred tons of goods, or 500 people. The legion reached the capital from the city of fire oil in one day.

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