Chapter 1047
Duanjieshan Fortress, the fifth day and night.
"What's going on?!"
Derisis, the deputy commander of the fortress, stood in front of the gate, almost writing anger and fear on his face.
No one dared to speak, and there was silence everywhere; all the officers who came afterwards closed their mouths and pretended to be dumb.
Behind him, there are more than a dozen alchemists who also lose one's head out of fear. They dare not meet the gaze of the deputy commander;
In front of... is an empty warehouse.
Yes, it means literally; nothing is left, nothing is left, not even a rat that was starved to death.
When he inspected the warehouse for the last time six days ago, there was a mountain of ignitant, alchemy bombs and rapid burning, full of viscosity, which can melt into water on ice and snow. The kerosene that will dissipate.
According to the original plan, that is enough for ten days!
How did it run out? !
The officers who looked at each other in blank dismay looked at each other, and then turned their gazes at the fortress deputy commander himself very "tacitly".
Of course, Derecis knows that his squandering speed in the past few days has been nearly twice as fast as originally planned; there is no way, he must do that, otherwise it would be equivalent to letting Sarika Jonah And the defenders warriors who went out of the city to fight to die.
In the beginning, Dresis also had some guilty conscience, worried that the logistics reserves were not enough to persist until the defenders arrived; but soon he had to give up this idea, because the Azores’ The offensive momentum was always fierce, almost a death-death rush, as long as he ordered the use of kerosene or alchemy bombs, he would be able to reap results that even the cavalry could not get.
Although he tried to use huge casualties to force the enemy to retreat, it ended in failure; but Drexis had no regrets. He even felt that he hadn't put enough, and was not ruthless enough, to report for the match. Te Braha and a thousand Knights were attacked and wiped out.
But even so, there should not be a situation where all the inventory will be exhausted after five days!
Diejieshan Fortress has many alchemists, piled up like a mountain of materials, and this time, among the reinforcements sent by Byrne, there are a batch of wizards left in Duanjieshan. There should be no risk in logistics. That's it.
Even if you consume it too fast, it doesn't mean you can't replenish it!
Even if you can’t last for ten days, seven or eight days is always possible, right? !
"Gentlemen, I need an explanation... Thousands of warriors in the entire fortress fighting for the safety of the empire, need an explanation."
Dressis, with a pale face, turned around Body, a cold glance glanced across the faces of the alchemists: "Why...you will let the logistics reserve appear to be'out of', the least ought to happen?"
It is hard to see the extreme fortress deputy commander, all the alchemists collectively stepped back, and the corners of their pale faces were pressed tightly without saying a word.
"Say!"
"I, I, we...we did our best!"
An alchemist who was taken aback, panicked Zhang defended: "We started working from the first day of the war. We worked day and night, but we still couldn't keep up with the rate of consumption! The rate of wear and tear on the front line is too fast, even if it is twice estimated. Not enough!"
"Yes! It's not that we don't want to, but we really can't do it-even if it is a defective substitute, it takes a lot of time to make, and the effect is not guaranteed! "
Faced with the alchemists' excuses, Dresis gloomy face remained silent until the other party finished speaking and stopped talking.
Of course he knows these, but what he wants to know is not.
A quarter of an hour later, when the last alchemist closed his mouth again and the warehouse returned to dead silence, Dresis asked coldly:
"So You guys, do you want to tell me that it’s really just because of'powerlessness'...?"
"Of course..."
"Because if you tell me that, I will do it Tell the soldiers outside, tell them that the alchemists in the fortress can no longer provide them with any support." Dresis interrupted unceremoniously:
"So I repeat, except objectively What is the reason besides the reason...causing you to fail to provide sufficient logistical support?"
"This..."
The alchemists looked at each other in blank dismay, Looked towards each other with different expressions.
…………………………
"Bang——!"
When Drexis volunteered (was forced to be helpless) Led by the alchemist of ), when he opened the door on the other side of the warehouse, he saw... a sight he had never seen in his entire life.
As an imperial nobleman, he even visited the laboratory of the Imperial Capital wizard Academy and saw with his own eyes how the intricate ancient rune depiction was born.
But the scene before him was unheard-of.
With a huge magic array as the center, more than a dozen Byrne wizards who came with Floating Void City gathered in a circle and buried their heads in work. A youngster with sloppy hair standing in the center of the magic array did not He stopped yelling something; whenever he spoke, a wizard got up and modified the magic array under his feet according to the instructions of the words.
"If the rune in the upper left corner is modified, then the corresponding part must be modified again-add two more runes that can have a linkage effect, and then...what is the linkage effect, you The apprentices haven’t graduated yet?!"
"Gentlemen, we have plenty of time but don’t whisper; we are working on a work of art, we are artists-of course, I am to be precise That artist, you are at best brushes or manuscript paper—artists never whisper discussions!"
"Don’t look at who comes in again, who goes out again, you are working! Without me No one can stop..."
"Everyone, stop--!"
Before Isaac finished speaking, Surprised and angry Dresis The roar of anger has already sounded first.
tone barely fell, dozens of Knight officers from the fortress rushed straight into the laboratory, involuntarily pushing the wizards who were still "busy" aside, with a hint of faintness in their indifferent expression Of resentment.
"Hey, this is my laboratory!"
Stared wide-eyed Isaac · Grantham yelled at the inexplicable Knights: "Who Allow you to enter...Stop it, don't move, it's all mine..."
"Isaac · Grantham wizard, I need an explanation."
Dressy with an iron face Si interrupted him and stood directly in front of Isaac: "You...and what are these wizards doing here?"
"What are you doing?"
Isaac's His expression became more unfathomable mystery, and he opened his arms suddenly: "Aren't you having eyes — look around, and then ask again what I am doing?"
Dressis wanted to punch him This wizard who dared to yell at himself, but thought that the other party was a Byrne person, so he held back.
"Well then, let me change another way of saying it." Pressing the anger in his heart, Dresis coldly said: "Your Excellency Isaac..."
"It's Isaac'Sir '!"
A certain arrogant akimbo with a small proud look on his hips: "I am the Emperor Connold's pro-appointment, and the brand is hereditary, the imperial Knight!"
"Sir Isaac, may I ask..." Dercis's expression was extremely dark: "In the past five days, have you and these wizards provided any help for the logistics of the fortress?"
"No !"
Isaac answered very happy.
"Then do you treat any wounded Legion soldier or provide him with any help that the wizard can provide?"
"No! I am not an alchemist or a doctor , Those jobs have nothing to do with me!"
"Very good..." Drexis has already gnashing teeth: "Then from now on I announce to you, Sir Isaac, you are banned—— You will no longer get any logistical support resources, all your experiments will be stopped, and the wizards working for you will be transferred to do some more important and meaningful work."
"Rather than accompany you this'artist' here...the idle fool!"
"What...No way!"
Isaac's expression finally changed: "You, you, you...you can't stop my work, these are all the wizards who work with me in Byrne, you can't take them away!"
"I can!"
Dressis angrily roared, who can't bear him completely: "This is the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain. I am the first executive commander here. All personnel here must obey my orders!"
"Including you, Sir Isaac Grantham, must also obey my orders-otherwise I have the power to lock you up and monitor your every move!"
"All the resources here, They must be used in the battle against the Azores according to my arrangement!"
"Used to fight against the elves..." Isaac frowned: "Then what do you want us to do?"
"What to do is very simple. Every wizard can do it!" Derisis hysterically said: "You and Byrne's wizards should provide sufficient medicines and alchemy to the warriors on the front line. Bombs and igniting agents, and everything that can help them fight the elves!"
"But to do these things, your manpower is already sufficient." Isaac asked rhetorically.
"No, it's not enough; otherwise I won't be here, will I?!"
"no no no …you didn’t understand what I meant, I am It is said that the manpower who can do these shattered games...alchemy creation is already the limit of efficiency." Isaac is also resisting the desire to complain:
"The alchemists of the Broken Boundary Mountain Fortress, they This is the expert in this area. Even if we join in, it is impossible to improve the efficiency, and it may even help me-because I and the wizards I work with are not good at these."
De Resis’ binocular anger: "How do you know?!"
"Because I just know, I did the calculation the day I stayed." Isaac calmly said: "The result is that we two groups of people The efficiency of the addition is not as good as before-you have to spare some manpower and spend a few days to teach us how to do these things."
"The efficiency of the previous few days was only 76%. , It will probably rise to 95% in the next two days, and finally fluctuate around 130%... It has to be an ideal situation!"
"So...rather than let me be a genius To waste one's own'innate talent', the biggest resource, to help the warriors of the fortress to do these useless tasks, it is better to do something truly meaningful."
"For example?!"
" For example...defend the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain."
The voice fell, and Dresis was stunned, even the surrounding Knight officers were stunned.
Only Isaac was still staring at him, the corners of his mouth twitching with an anger that he could not vent.
This is what Lena Desalion taught him-if you want to be angry when you really can't be angry, make a face at the other person.
In a deadly silent laboratory, Dercis, with a frowning brow, looked at the magic array on the ground, slowly raised his head, and looked towards the somewhat mad wizard in front of him with a trembling gaze.
"What are you talking about...this magic array?"
"To be precise, this magic array should link the entire system."
Isaac finally He breathed a sigh of relief, and began to talk about it: "as everyone knows, Void Power can affect the material world after reaching a certain strength, and even distort a part of the law-of course, it's not that easy, but you can just listen to it first. "
"So after I collected a part of the research on the Corona Master, I found a way to expand the scope of this influence and even further affect a certain area; through this In this way, we can even change the entire fortress for a short time and in a small range!"
"In order to express its meaning, I specially gave it a name... The heart of savior, after all, has kept the boundary The mountain is to defend the whole world."
"In other words, with this thing, we can defend the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain?"
"Uh...should not be possible."
"Why can't it?"
"It's not finished yet, of course it can't."
"..."
With the urge to beat him, Dresis patiently said: "Then if... is completed, what will happen?"
"If it is completed...the Void Power running in this magic array will penetrate To all corners of the entire fortress-from the tower to the castle and the foundation of the city wall, it will be completely eroded by Void Power."
Isaac patiently explained: "By then, this thing under our feet will It becomes...Uh, you can imagine it as a huge control wrench. As long as there is a wizard here, the entire magic array can be activated, causing a series of vibrations and deformations, and finally the effect of deformation."
"Of course, the stacking of quantities will eventually cause qualitative changes, so this is a perfect plan that can use the principle of'seesaw' to achieve unexpected results; to put it simpler, it is to complete the two with a small amount of force. The effect that can only be achieved by three times as much as possible will eventually..."
"Penetrate into every corner of the fortress?"
I heard the words after Isaac: "You mean you can control the entire fortress with magic and let her repel enemies that are still attacking?"
"No, I mean I can use The demon array caused the crustal changes of the faulty mountain, first caused the fortress of the faulty mountain to collapse, and then caused a large-scale earthquake, burying the fortress alive below."
Isaac as it should be by rights.
Drecis was dumbfounded.
