Sky Dragon Rider

The cold spring has retreated from Chenxing Continent, and the mainland has begun to enter the scorching summer.

Except for the Anstruther Empire's southernmost Punjah and Lanjah provinces, which only have two seasons in autumn and summer, and the Grange Desert, where the temperature varies greatly between morning and evening, the four seasons of the entire continent are quite distinct.

As the weather got hotter, despite the obstruction of the Islamic Empire, it still failed to stop the smooth meeting of millions of coalition forces.

In fact, the final actual number of coalition forces was only 15 million, and the remaining [-] remained on the road forever for various reasons such as combat or non-combat. imagine.

The resistance army active in the enemy-occupied area failed to complete its mission successfully, and the supply reserves owned by the coalition forces were sufficient to sustain the army to the Changguan city.

The Tesi people who rushed to the meeting place first gave a poisonous trick. After the black-hearted occupying army plundered the last grain from the civilians, the food quota distributed like alms was not enough to fill up. Fill everyone's belly.

It is hard to imagine that the southern part of the Islamic Empire, which has always been affluent, would have a human tragedy of starvation and wilderness.

Although there are giant dragons from the Imperial Army to transport supplies, it is still a drop in the bucket. The harsh household loan management system and the material rationing system make the resistance army, which can no longer get supplies and cover, quickly fall into a situation of lack of food and clothing. Difficulty, had to retreat into the forest and inaccessible places to continue.

Anstruther's "Fox Hunting" Corps, which is good at fighting in the mountains and forests, took the opportunity to launch a campaign, and successfully screened out and wiped out most of the Islamic resistance forces in the occupied area who refused to surrender.

The unbearable Silan civilians and the few surviving nobles resisted one after another, and were once again brutally massacred by foreign bandit troops. No matter whether it was Anstruther, Lahn, Tesi or Portland, no one would care about those The life and death of the Muslims. (Only the former soldiers who surrendered in Pingnan would show the sad look of the rabbit and the fox, but that's all they could do, because they were also one of the murderers.

The city gate caught fire.As a result, the population of the entire southern occupied area of ​​the Islamic Empire has been reduced by [-]% in just two months because of this poisonous plan, and many villages and towns have been robbed of their last rations.And become a complete death.

It begins as the two rebel armies and the four army teams gather into a coalition.For the Islamic Empire, bad news came one after another.

There is good news, too.Relatively speaking, it is not enough to solve the current crisis facing the Islamic Empire.

Another air cavalry unit in the hands of the royal family, the "Thang Long" Legion has successfully trained 43 qualified air cavalry, as time goes by.There will be more and more sky knights succeeding.

Compared with the powerful Dragon Knight, the entry threshold and training difficulty of fighter jet Knight are much lower. Magic Industry has completed the development of assembly line equipment and tools and sent them to the "Guillotine" base. Start horses one by one or subcontract to the Alchemy Union guild.

After research and development by the Alchemy Department, the finalized mass-produced "Thang Long" has many differences from the prototype. Except that the engine part does not need to be changed, a lot of electronic systems have been added to the avionics system to replace the original construction machinery.For example, the long-short wave communication station, the joystick is equipped with a booster, and a small part of the keel of the body is soaked in a special agent, and its strength is comparable to steel.Wood is even lighter than aluminum alloy.

The most important skin and inner armor are compounded by blending resin, tempered paper and thin steel plate, which not only maintains mechanical properties, heat resistance, corrosion resistance and elasticity, but also ensures insulation performance and impact resistance. Heavy armored soldiers will not be damaged if they step on it.

The surface of the integrated skin will be vaporized by a laser etching machine to form a shallow layer of magic circle foundation pit, which will be outlined by artificial fillers, then covered with glazed coating and infrared radiation high-temperature baking glaze, and finally painted and covered.

The spell array etched on the body is composed of multiple partial spell arrays. Even if one part is damaged, it will not affect the normal operation of other parts. The element attributes of the spell array are mainly wind, earth, and shadow. The wind system blesses speed, agility and spell shield, and the earth system will only be activated during forced landing and crash to reduce the impact as much as possible with the anti-gravity effect. The shadow system is used for emergency evasion when fighting in close quarters and defending against long-range attack weapons.

As the energy supply part of the core part, compared with the original "Thang Long" in Lin Mo's hand, the finalized design is a completely new energy supply system.

About one foot long, the short columnar energy plug-in as thick as the mouth of a bowl is etched with dense spell circle runes inside and out, which is similar to the element conversion alchemy device in Lin Mo's hand that converts the silver dragon egg into space element energy. wonderful.

The hollow barrel-shaped lining can be filled with magic crystals, regardless of shape, element system, stock, or purity. As long as it is a magic crystal, it can be filled into the lining, and then inserted into the inner cylinder of the energy plug-in. After the energy supply slot on the back of the cockpit cover of the "Thang Long" mass-produced aircraft is inserted, it can be locked with a slight twist.

Through the 36 pure gold contacts at the bottom of the plug-in, the energy supply slot and the spell array of the plug-in cooperate with each other to extract the elemental energy contained in the magic crystal in a controlled manner, and convert it into electrical energy to continuously supply the entire body. In addition, there is a spare small power conversion device built into the cockpit.

The energy supply system using alchemy and magic crystal technology not only has a high energy density, but also has a much higher conversion efficiency into electrical energy and mechanical energy than fossil fuels. Therefore, the actual unloaded weight of the alchemy version of "Thang Long" after finalization is higher than that on Earth. The original version is much lighter, which not only means faster flight speed and cruising distance, but also a larger bomb load.

After the "Thang Dragon" propeller fighter was successfully finalized by the Magic Industry Alchemy Department and the Mechanical Department, His Majesty Cyril, the Emperor of the Islamic Empire, was relieved. Another trump card in his hand is about to take shape. The countdown has officially begun.

"One, two, three, four, five, mining is really hard. After eight hours of digging, the purity is five! Roar!~"

In the largest open-pit mine in the Islamic Empire, a group of miners sweated profusely while waving their pickaxes, while looking in fear at the muttering dragon not far away.

boom! ~

After a loud noise, thick smoke rose, broken rocks flew, and the golden dragon shook its head, digging ore into the ore veins in a careless manner, and from time to time stuffed a stick about a foot long into the gap. The explosives, which were three fingers wide in diameter, didn't even bother to dodge, and detonated directly at the nearest place, carrying the explosion shock wave and the blasted ore nonchalantly.

Already two unlucky miners were hit on the foreheads by the stones that flew over from Beng, and fell to the ground with bloody heads, but the ferocious golden dragon still went about its own way, blasting the mine veins, While digging ore outside.

No wonder those human miners are so worried. Working with that giant dragon is like walking a tightrope with their lives. If it weren't for the recent skyrocketing mining market, they wouldn't have spent their lives waving their pickaxes here day and night.

I don't know where it got the permission from, the gold dragon also took the job of a miner, and half of the ore dug out belonged to the empire and half to itself.

If it weren't for such conditions, it wouldn't be interested in mining veins in human mines. Compared with human miners, the mining efficiency of gold dragons is hundreds of times higher, and it is easy to find the most abundant ore seams. Pull out the best ore.

The war machine of the Islamic Empire was in full swing, and there were shortages of many materials and resources, especially ores.

The metallurgical industry of an empire is not only related to people's livelihood, but also related to the military. It is unimaginable to consume a lot of metal to arm a million new troops with the power of a country.

In addition to collecting all the metals that could be found, it became imperative to increase mining efforts.

Compared with the developed mining industry on the earth, the mining methods in this world are still very primitive, and finding mineral veins can only rely on luck.

Even though the Islamic Empire has a vast territory, there are still only a handful of mines available for mining, and they are basically monopolized by the royal family or nobles.

Digging mines deep underground to collect ores not only faces the difficulty of excavating hard ores, but also takes into account various safety factors such as ventilation and dust infringement. Mining is difficult and dangerous. Therefore, most of the mining areas in the Islamic Empire are Shallow deposits hidden on the surface.

In addition to locally mined mineral deposits, the Islamic Empire also needs to import a large amount of metal from the mysterious underground world every year to meet its own needs.

On the other hand, nearly a million young and middle-aged civilians between the ages of 15 and 30 in the central, eastern, and northern parts of the empire and a considerable number of noble children were recruited because of the mobilization order jointly issued by the Islamic royal family and the military.

After two months of training, these loose sand-like young people have gradually taken on the appearance of soldiers. After being organized into forty legions, they began to slowly march towards the southern line of the empire to confront the enemy coalition forces.

All the workshops in the empire-controlled area were working at full capacity, barely ensuring that these recruits could each have a sword, a pair of light armor, and a round shield that could cover most of their bodies.

Compared with those veterans who have fought many battles, the combat effectiveness of these new recruits is still far inferior, but at this time, they can only be rushed to the shelves, just like the later period of the war with the Tesi Empire, use the battlefield to sharpen these recruits in the shortest time. veteran.

The 50 Sri Lankan army on the southern front of the empire was quickly supported by 80 new troops, totaling 130 million, and started a new stage of confrontation with the coalition forces with a total strength of [-] million.

At this time, both the Islamic Empire and the countries behind the coalition knew that this tragic war was inevitable.

The amount of supplies consumed by more than a million soldiers on both sides is a huge number every day. Now that Chen Bing has met, it is impossible to return empty-handed.
