We are in Terra and there is no book to read.

Observers from various countries are a little stunned at this moment. They can understand that the Victorians are trying new tricks. After all, they are the largest technological power in Terra, but how did Sakaz come up with these!

It was okay to dig a trench into the ground. After all, it was just digging into the ground with a shovel. Maybe the Sakaz people were lucky enough to come up with this trick.But now they can't even come up with this thing that can't be seen clearly, has a long range, and has a high explosive yield!

'Little village showing you new technology? '

Is there really such a thing?

"Over there! Something is coming! One o'clock!"

A Victoria weapon master shouted loudly. He just suddenly noticed the fluctuation of color at the edge of his screen. He immediately looked over with his naked eyes and finally captured the unknown thing.

The shooters and magicians on the ground looked sideways, only to see something with distorted colors and blurred edges in the sky, rushing towards them quickly.

"Shoot it down!"

Various spells flew into the air one after another, and some drones also came closer and tried to block them with their bodies.But the weapon masters only felt their eyes flicker for a moment, and the thing rushed past.The magicians' spells were in vain as they exploded in the sky, and they could only watch it rush over.

"Missed! What the hell is this!"

"We can't stop it! Get the ammunition out of the way!"

The artillery officer shouted, "There are a lot of ammunition piled around for the convenience of shooting!"If he died...

【boom--! ! ! 】

It flew a little faster than the speed at which the Victoria Artillery executed the order. The huge energy generated by the explosion drove everything around it out like confetti in the storm, and even created a low tower on the spot. Small mushroom cloud.

Chapter 285 The Future

"Report! I have hit the target."

"Well, it was confirmed that the detonation was successful."

At the same time that the operator of the Impaler drone stood up to report, another operator of an ordinary multi-rotor drone also stood up to report.His task is to wait near the target location and visually determine whether the new high-speed drone accurately hits the target and detonates.

After two confirmations, the technicians of the Impaler drone operation team began to install the new drone on the bracket and started pairing the controller with it.

However, the operator cannot be idle during this neutral period.Considering that the Impaler UAV would be put into actual combat as soon as it left the factory, Zeppelin and other technicians from the Kazdel Aircraft Factory also came to Rem Billiton.It is convenient to provide the best technical assistance and collect first-hand usage data.

"How's the steering control?"

"Is there any vibration during the flight?"

They circled the operator asking questions, and the earlier these tactile questions were asked, the clearer the description would be.

"The flight was very smooth. I basically didn't encounter anything that required me to avoid it at a large angle. It's just that this drone is completely different from before. I'm still a little uncomfortable with the attitude stabilization loop. Apart from these... …I always felt like the plane was sliding slightly to the left.”

Listening to the operator's words, Luzer explained while recording, "This is called spiral tail slip. It seems to be a common problem with this new layout. You can just use the controller or control loop to correct it."

"Oh, it's not a malfunction, then I'm relieved."

The operator breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh! By the way, can the slide rail bracket on the ground be longer? I think it feels a bit bulky when the plane takes off."

"Well, I took note of it..."

Luzer sorted out the questions from several operators and presented them to Zeppelin.Judging from the user feedback, there are currently no serious shortcomings, but Zeppelin frowned without a trace of smile.

"Chief Commander, what's wrong with you? Is there anything wrong with these feedbacks?"

Zeppelin did not answer. He stared at an Impaler drone that was about to take off.

At this moment, it is fixed on the buckle of the slide rail, the engine has been turned on, and the propeller at the tail is moving towards the highest speed.

After seeing that the inspector said yes, the operator immediately activated the concealment spell. The appearance of the human-sized drone suddenly changed color, blending into the surrounding colors and almost indistinguishable from the surroundings.

'go ahead'

The two banshees held bone pens and moved them gently in the air. Witchcraft patterns appeared on the inner core of the slide rail.The former will accelerate the bayonet, while the latter directly accelerates itself.

Under the combined action of the two forces, the slide rail bayonet jerked forward.The ultra-high-speed movement of the drone caused some conspicuous scenery and light distortion to appear on the ground.

"To be honest, I don't really like the plane."

The bayonet hits the bulge at the end of the slide rail, and the locking structure is automatically released.Watching the Impaler drone take off, Zeppelin said to the people next to him: "The kind of aircraft we made last time, a manned aircraft. In His Majesty's words, it is called a single-cabin biplane. I like it better. That kind of plane.”

"Huh? Aren't that plane and the Impaler drone the same layout type?" Ruzel was a little confused.

"It's generally the same, but there are still a lot of nuances."

Zeppelin explained to Luzer, "The shape of the body of the Impaler drone is far faster than the single-cabin biplane we made before. But without the Originium technology circuit that stabilizes the attitude, the Impaler drone cannot The human machine will lose control, but our original experimental machine did not."

"In order to catch up with the war, I didn't have time to study the mysteries. I had to install the Originium Art Circuit first so that it could fly stably. However, an aircraft that does not have to limit the pilot to a magician is the most suitable aircraft for Kazdel. .”

After the first Kazdale manned aircraft took off, Teresica asked Zeppelin to conduct an experiment.

He was asked to find the Ursus, Caprini, Luper, and Carters tribes living in Kazdare, as well as the children of their Sakaz tribe, and conduct an experiment.

The experiment is very simple, just do continuous rotation and tumbling vertically and horizontally.

The results are gratifying. Sarkaz's ability to withstand rolling in all directions is generally better than other races.

Zeppelin immediately realized the message contained in it.

If artillery and other long-range industrial weapons offset Sakaz's advantage in raw manpower, then manned aircraft will change this status quo back!

A piston aircraft has to be used sooner or later, and as long as someone takes a photo of it and sends it back, it is inevitable that the layout will be copied in every possible way.At that time, Sakaz's first-mover advantage in aviation and driver quality advantages became extremely important!

If the aircraft controller is not limited to a magician, then Sakaz's physical advantage can be further expanded!

"Ruzel, I'll leave the data collection for Rem Billiton to you. I'm going back to Kazdale to conduct experiments related to the stability of the aircraft, study the problems, and compile a report as soon as possible to submit to His Majesty."

In Zeppelin's eyes, manned piston aircraft were the cornerstone of Sakaz's grand future.

.........

future?How long will their future last?

Victoria's soldiers lay helpless in the ruins. They are now trapped here, with no food and water. In this city that has long been in ruins, it is impossible to dig out anything from the rubble and rubble. Something to eat.Maybe people around me still have a little bit hidden in their hands, but it's just a few mouthfuls.

"Can we still go back?"

"do not know."

The films groaned feebly. Originally, they could still struggle against hunger and attack Sakaz, trying to create a hole through a flanking attack with external friendly forces, so that they might be able to go home.But I don't know what happened. News suddenly came from superiors, saying that the artillerymen had suffered heavy losses and were temporarily unable to fire cover.

Without artillery support, the infantry outside was too lazy to waste energy in front of the Sakaz trench and also withdrew.

This move immediately made many people furious, and even scolded their friends on the spot for refusing to save them. However, more people found a place to lie down and save as much energy as possible.

Under this situation, many Victoria soldiers couldn't help but feel their hearts swell when they looked at the south without Sakaz's defenses.After all, there is a gap in the artillery fire and it may not hit your head.

With a bit of luck, Victoria's soldiers began to flee one by one while their commander was not paying attention.

Sakaz's drone hovered over the artillery blockade area, quietly showing everything below at a glance, on the bridge of the Katzdale II destroyer, which became a fixed fort after the boiler was injured.

"These people are quite professional and not crowded together. They are dispersed very evenly among themselves. They should be serious Victorian soldiers."

"Are you going to fight or not? We have to release some people every day."

After the commanders discussed for a while, the third turret of the No. [-] destroyer slowly began to rotate.The ship's commander decided to fire a few rounds to get the idea, and only half of the people would be killed.

However, the skills of the soldiers in the Sakaz ship unit were still not very good. They originally planned to fire three rounds, one of which hit the target directly and two of which missed the target. This way, they could release people and act more realistically.

But the result was that all three shots hit the retreating soldiers, and all dozen of them were scattered everywhere.

'One shot missed when it should have hit, and all of them hit when it shouldn't have hit. What if the Victorians didn't dare to run away...'

Just when the Sakaz naval soldiers were annoyed by their speechless skills, the Victorians not only did not dare to escape, but more and more soldiers began to flee.

For the soldiers preparing to flee, all they could see were those left waiting to starve to death and those who had already set off.On the way to escape, you can only see those who died unfortunately and those who successfully escaped.

But no matter what kind of person they were, the only ones who truly stood out in their hearts were those who successfully escaped from hell.

Hundreds or even nearly a thousand deserters appeared in the ranks every day, but Victoria's officers no longer had the ability to restrain them because they had nothing to eat.What maintains their sense of responsibility now is just the face of the nobility that they can't give up.

The soldiers in the city risked their lives to escape from Sakaz's artillery fire every day. It is impossible for Harold and Duke Stafford not to know, but just when Teresica was on guard against Victoria's new moves, the shapeshifter family A newspaper was sent back to Cazedale from Victoria itself.

There was a report written on it, claiming to be from within the Victoria Army.It said that there were repeated discussions between Harold and Stafford on whether to cover the retreat of the broken troops.

Duke Stafford believed that no matter what, the top priority now should be to find ways to rescue more people, while General Harold believed that soldiers retreating without his permission should be punished as deserters. Coupled with the new invisible gadgets created by Sakaz, there is no need to damage the artillery and do useless work.

Both sides were senior commanders, and fierce quarrels broke out as both insisted on their own opinions, but no one gave in to the other.Harold seemed to lose control and insulted Stafford, causing the Duke to feel that he had been humiliated.After angrily scolding Harold for being cold-blooded, he took his two infantry divisions and retreated to the mainland on a transport ship.

Stafford is also a duke after all, and no one can forcefully reverse his decision. Now only Harold himself continues to stay at Rem Billiton, as the sole military leader, waiting for the last moment.

Chapter 286 Surrender

"Negotiations aborted!"

In Syracuse, the negotiations between Rem Billiton's independent forces and Victoria, which focused on whether Eureka would break away from Victoria's control, continued for a long time, and finally took a short break during lunch.

The Victoria delegation left in a hurry. Everything they did now felt like their buttocks were on fire.On the Kazdare side, it seemed a lot more relaxed. 'Ines' and 'W' even discussed which Syracuse specialty dishes to try for lunch, and they wanted to avoid duplication between them.

Hedley followed the two of them silently. He was really not used to it these days.Ines disguised as a shapeshifter was okay, her original behavior was relatively normal, but W was completely different.

He looked at the woman who was sitting there, holding a W while dining dignifiedly and elegantly like a Victorian aristocratic lady, and felt a sense of outrage in his heart.

W usually comes as he pleases, and it is common for him to just grab something to eat. How could he be like this?

Hedley couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you shapeshifters very particular about how to perfectly impersonate others? Why are you so casual about W?"

"Ms. W is not a special person. Our observation of her is only within the scope of ordinary daily activities. Moreover, this performance is not our own idea, but His Majesty's order. The time is short and not enough for us to complete all aspects of the performance." practise."

'W' said with a slight smile. For shapeshifters, the changes in appearance and voice are just the crudest imitation.

The role of a shapeshifter is not to simply observe a certain person and imitate it, but to construct a complete environment around the target, and imitate the character, voice, preferences and other aspects in detail bit by bit until he is no different from the original owner. Will be replaced quietly.

"We will not show imperfect things, this is our pursuit..."

Suddenly, 'Ines' and 'W' put down the tableware together, and the closed door of the restaurant was also pushed open at this time. A tall woman from the Drac tribe slowly walked in.

"Gui'an, envoys from Kazdare."

With a ceremonial smile on her face, she bowed gracefully and saluted them.The tail behind her swung slightly, and the partition door that had been pushed open closed again quietly.

"who are you."

'Ines'' question sounded more like a statement.And the woman from the Drac tribe spoke.

"My name is Abrana. I am here today on behalf of the Duke of Wellington and want to conduct a private transaction with Kazdaele."

.........

Duke of Wellington?

Teresica hurried to the hall previously prepared for the projection meeting. He had long expected that there should be a certain relationship between Abrana and the nobles of Victoria, but he did not expect that he would hear from her mouth. I heard this name.

"Is the situation true?"

"It's true. She showed the cane carried by the Duke of Wellington. We have authenticated it and it is genuine."

After listening to the words of the leader of the shapeshifters, Teresica's pace quickened a bit. The moment he walked into the projection hall, the scenery inside suddenly changed, becoming the restaurant of the Syracuse meeting venue.

He saw W and Ines disguised by the shapeshifters, Hedley next to them, and Abrana standing opposite the three of them.

"I know that you Sakaz want the Guardian ship. As long as you can ensure the safety of the 51st Highland Division, we will help you erase the records of the Guardian in Rem Billiton, so that the ship It’s up to you to do whatever you want.”

Listening to her words, Teresica quickly asked the leader of the Shapeshifters: "What's the situation with the 51st Highland Division?"

"The 51st Highland Division was originally an ordinary infantry division, but it suffered heavy losses in the battle with us. Later, the Victorians filled it with Tara people and used them as cannon fodder."

After learning the situation from the shapeshifter, Teresica was still thinking, while Abra on the other side of Syracuse continued to talk.

"Tonight, I will arrange for this division to surrender to you, as long as you ensure the safety of the Tara people..."

"Tell her that the Guardian is in our hands, and the 51st Highland Division is also trapped in the ruins by us. These are all trophies in our hands. How can she be qualified to negotiate terms with us using our things. Also, urban supplies It has been cut off for a long time. We only need to wait a few more days, and both the Tara people and the Victoria people will have to starve, and then the prisoners can be captured at will."

Teresica's words were transmitted to the minds of the shapeshifters in Syracuse through the shapeshifters' Origin Stone skills, and they repeated them truthfully.

"So, what does Kazdaele need."

Abrana's expression did not change at all, as if she had just tried to bargain.

It was her turn to make a bid. Teresica did not make a decision directly. Instead, she asked the leader of the Shapeshifters what would be the most beneficial thing.

"Ms. Abrana, apart from some of our previous contacts, if you want to get back an entire division of Tara people safely, you have to give us ten steam turbines with an output of 12000 power units."

The shapeshifters looked at Abrana and told Kazdael's price.

A long time ago, the leader of the Shapeshifters accepted Teresica's order and went to Victoria to find a way to smuggle steam turbines.Although I failed to get it back successfully, I still took a closer look at the relevant performance indicators.

Steam turbines of this level are the core of power installed on Victoria's light cruisers, and are also the core of power generation in many fixed towns.This is exactly what Kazdaele needs right now.

"I will give you 12 brand new ones. I will also erase the records of the Guardian for you."
