Magic Industrial Age

After the negotiation was settled, Daisy Wick didn't stay here any longer, nor did she dare to!

Loy ordered Vincent Ackerman to lead the way and escort her out, while he sat in place, eyes slightly narrowed, seemingly lost in thought.

Until, two figures suddenly appeared beside him.

Iron Knight Phil Zech and Flame Sword Saint Otto emerged as if from thin air, appearing within Daisy's supposedly secure silencing field.

Otto glanced towards the gate, as if still able to see Daisy's departing figure, and asked, "How much of what this female knight said do you think is true, and how much is false?"

Iron Knight Phil rubbed his chin: "I've carefully analyzed it, and there don't seem to be any obvious loopholes in what she said!

Although she's pushing the blame for this war onto Marquis Carlisle, this Marquis's hands were already dirty, and it's very likely that he's the one stirring up trouble!"

"Moreover, this truce, to put it bluntly, is because yesterday's action by the head of the family, the combat power of the knights under the [Lion King's Title], made him wary!

That's why he's delaying, asking his allies for reinforcements, for stronger individuals!"

Loy nodded, then shook his head: "There's still one thing that doesn't make sense!"

"What?"

"If Marquis Carlisle's target is me, then yesterday was the best opportunity!

He has at least two Fourth-Order Calamities and four Transcendent individuals at his disposal; what would have been the result if they had directly entered the battlefield?"

"Even with the Holy Skill [Lion King's Title], with a total force of only a hundred knights, we still wouldn't be able to win!"

"But Marquis Carlisle didn't attack, and he's carefully concealing his movements, which doesn't make sense!"

"So…"

Otto picked up the thread, saying, "So, either what Daisy said is a lie, or a portion of it is a lie!

Or, this Marquis Carlisle has an even greater scheme!"

Loy said, "I'm inclined towards the latter!"

"Why?"

"Because my agreement with her is destined to remain unspoken.

Whether to execute it, or not, or to what extent to execute it, depends solely on me and doesn't have any real binding force!"

"So, if she lied to me, the Wick family would only pay a greater price; they wouldn't be so unwise!"

After a pause, he looked at the Iron Knight and Flame Sword Saint and asked, "Do you recognize the two Calamity-level experts that Daisy mentioned?"

The Iron Knight and Flame Sword Saint exchanged glances, and the Iron Knight spoke first: "If I'm not mistaken, they are the two Fourth-Order experts offered by the Carlisle family.

One is a knight, of unknown age, but definitely very old, with a full head of white hair and beard; we call him the Pale Knight!

News suggests that he wasn't cultivated by the Carlisle family but came from the Bonaparte Empire's main family, sent by the Carlisle Duke, who holds immense power."

Otto continued, "As for the other Fourth-Order mage, he's very mysterious; even when we've met, we've never seen him make a move.

Moreover, we don't know much about the realm of magic.

If Lady Palacios were here, you could ask her!"

Loy asked again, "Just these two, are there any other Calamity-level experts?"

The Iron Knight couldn't help but roll his eyes, saying, "Do you really think Calamity-level experts are like cabbages?

Even these two can't be considered to have been cultivated by the Carlisle family themselves!"

"The reason why my Raymond family can attract the attention of the entire Norman Duchy is partly because of our five Calamity-level experts!"

"The four Marquis families, including the Castro family, known for producing strong individuals, can't produce five Calamities."

Otto picked up the thread: "Of course, even my Raymond family could only afford to support the five of us after making huge profits from ocean trade!"

"The consumption of cultivation for Calamity-level experts isn't a small amount, Earl, don't take it lightly!"

"In this era, finding the right path, making money is a minor matter! I'm only afraid that there aren't enough strong individuals to protect my assets."

Loy didn't care, of course, he had the confidence not to care.

After pondering slightly, he remembered something and said, "However, if you just want to confirm, I do have a way!"

Otto said, "Is it to have us directly attack and surprise them?"

Loy shook his head: "That won't work; originally, the enemy was in the dark and we were in the light, but after the Wick family informed them, it became the enemy in the light and we in the dark.

If you attack, it will be like hitting the grass to scare the snake, and we'll lose our advantage!"

"Then what do you say we should do?"

"Just now, didn't Daisy mention the Magic Eye Warlock and the Magic Mirror? We'll take a look and find out!"

At the highest point of Frostmoon Canyon, Loy stood upright, his head lowered, as if observing the terrain of the mountains.

From time to time, he would also look around, gazing at the beautiful scenery of the sky.

Of course, these seemingly normal actions were actually because his eyes had completely transformed into a pair of eagle eyes.

His pupils constantly contracted, focused, and rotated, taking in everything within sight.

As long as he wanted, he could even see a withered branch on the ground clearly.

Of course, these were not what he was concerned about; what he was most concerned about was the distant sky, a single eye floating in mid-air.

That was the Magic Eye matching the Magic Mirror!

In other words, the seemingly inconspicuous camp below this Magic Eye was where Marquis Carlisle was located!

In other words, what Daisy said was probably true!

In that case, what he needed to consider was what exactly Marquis Carlisle wanted to do? How to respond?

And, most importantly, how to give this guy a big surprise!

……

Noble wars, also known as knight wars, are intended to resolve conflicts between nobles.

Therefore, both sides can fight, but most of the time, they won't go too far, won't completely fall out, and won't reach the point where one must die.

The highlight is: war must also have noble demeanor!

Although many ancient rituals have changed their appearance, and even the [Noble Code] is much thicker than in ancient times.

However, some rules have been passed down.

For example, this 'truce', agreed upon by both sides, is a period of ceasefire for both sides to rest and reorganize!

During this period, mutual attacks are not allowed, and they can do their own things with peace of mind.

Do you ask if there are people who don't follow the rules?

In the long river of history, of course there will be such people, but the results are often not very good.

There are many marriages between nobles, and they also pay attention to personal relationships.

If you break the rules, you won't be able to survive in the noble circle, you will be criticized by everyone, and no one will pay attention to you, and you will gradually die out.

Therefore, after truly hanging up the truce card, Loy was still relatively relaxed.

The most ⊥new⊥small⊥say⊥in⊥six⊥9⊥⊥book⊥⊥bar⊥⊥first⊥hair!

He had time to pay attention to the repair of the war fortress, time to design fortifications, and time to sort out the tunnels below the fortress.

Don't look at the small area of this war fortress, but it is actually intricate inside.

Mainly because before, the entrance to the jade mine in Frostmoon Canyon was opened here.

Dig, dig, dig, dig, which made the terrain more and more complex, and the tunnels more and more secluded.

Later, the jade mine in this area was exhausted, and openings were opened in other places, and a large number of miners left.

As a result, these mines were preserved and integrated with the war fortress, making it more and more easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Even artillery fire only destroyed the uppermost buildings, and some of the underground tunnels collapsed, but seven or eight out of ten were preserved.

This is the reason why Vincent Ackerman can fight street battles, and it is also his confidence that he can hold on.

Facts have proved that his choice was correct!

Of course, more of Loy was looking for commanding heights, advancing along the mountains on both sides, and finding enough places to stay.

If you can't find it, it doesn't matter, you can also open up a place to stay with a chisel.

These places may give Marquis Carlisle a big surprise.

However, Loy has never been a person who likes to work alone, so he simply wrote a letter, a letter to Grand Duchess Afra.

The letter was to complain, to complain about the three marquises, accusing them of daring to intervene in the noble war!

This letter was to be sent to Siren Harbor, and it could be directly sent to the White Fort of the Norman family through the magic tower there.

This is the quickest and safest way, otherwise, if you really send someone to deliver it, it may be intercepted.

In fact, the Lion Castle had a communication magic circle that directly communicated with the White Fort, but now, it is destroyed!

On the third day of the truce, when the war fortress was being repaired in full swing, a team of hundreds of knights rushed over.

The leader's name was Jarr Turner, the head of the Turner family, with the title of Baron. It is worth mentioning that he is also a third-order extraordinary knight.

He was ordered by the Grand Knight Commander Alfonso Zech to rush over, for fear that Loy's troops were insufficient.

Of course, these knights are not needed now, but the grain transport team behind them has played a big role.

Accompanying Baron Jarr Turner were also many letters.

There is a letter from Imperial Ambassador Robin Walter, mainly talking about the modification agreement that was discussed before.

Most of them have been recognized by the empire, of course, there are also excessive ones, such as requiring the latest magic weapons, which were denied.

With Hick Cruz, the great scholar in charge of magic machinery, what he can talk about is the promotion progress of magic machinery.

With the coordination of the Imperial Ambassador, various projects have now been restarted.

The construction of railways and many magic factories has been fully restored!

It is worth mentioning that there are priorities. According to Loy's requirements, the first to be built are the magic machinery factory and the magic steel plant.

Hick Cruz patted his chest and assured that they would definitely see a different style after the war was over.

There is also a letter from Hoover, mainly talking about money!

He accepted the finances of the Raymond family, and in this war, he spent money like water.

What Loy values most is the longest letter, which is naturally from Lilia.

The first part is all about the whispers and sweet words between lovers, and the middle part mentions her new research project.

Processing machinery is naturally not so easy to get, and the factory has not been built yet, and there are no research conditions.

However, she still thoroughly understood Loy's design concepts and drawings.

As for the last part, it is the disciple that Lady Palacios mentioned, a third-order LV12 magician Walter Clark, who has arrived at the Lion Manor.

Then, under the debugging of this magician, the communication magic circle was finally successfully activated.

In other words, Loy finally has a stable channel to communicate with Auckland City.

It is worth mentioning that the first time the communication magic circle was opened, Loy received a lot of letters.

Here are work reports from Maruna, Mira Greenman and Lian Vasquez, the bow-wielding man.

There are also jokes from Gary Mills, concerns from Mrs. Linda, resentment from Douglas Hill, and the decision of Baron Miller!
