Chapter 18 Bourne's Surprise

"I have no problem with this, but... let's just leave it at that. The unification of firearms is still very important for our army."

"Can the arsenal hold up?"

"It's okay. Not all our troops have to be equipped with thunder-blast assault rifles. Sometimes, we really need some different special firearms just in case. After all, His Majesty also said that he can't deal with them alone. He doesn't know when they will appear, and he doesn't know how many pig-headed people there are. Moreover, I saw the following content of His Majesty's proposal. He actually doesn't object to us using captured equipment."

"For example, the rags of the dog-headed people?"

"That's right."

As the proposal from Zelen appeared in front of the congressional officials, a group of congressional officials couldn't help but nod slightly.

However, this is a heavy burden for the current Minister of Defense, Hollett Lisa Bourne, a veteran who has survived many battles.

Since the blast lice appeared in batches in the Crurod Empire, a country composed of one island after another, the towns of the empire have been cut piece by piece by the knife called blast lice like a cake.

So much so that he himself did not know how many soldiers and civilians were surrounded and annihilated by the sudden poisonous lice and the monsters called wild orcs, and as a defense minister who was nominated by Deputy Minister Sanya and took office in a hurry, he only had 250,000 troops in his hands.

However, the Krurod Empire is an archipelago country, not a continental country, and the islands divided by the strait require a certain number of troops to be stationed. In order to ensure safety, even the residents of the Krurod Empire in safe areas must ensure that every household has a gun and a certain amount of ammunition just in case.

So he actually only has more than 70,000 troops here to march east, or to carry out the southward expedition plan against Semeru Island. Therefore, it is not a big deal to let the elite members of these more than 70,000 troops be equipped with thunder and explosion assault rifles first. The key is that the islands they want to capture cannot encounter anything fatal.

Envira: "Minister Hollett, east or south?"

Bourne: "South. There are many resources on Semeru Island, and it is also an area that the Golden Moon Party has focused on. I personally don't believe that those poisonous lice have the ability to clear the towns on it, or to use the remaining materials in various buildings. Of course, I am more worried about one thing."

Envira: "Pig-headed people."

Bourne: "That's right. The black-haired dog-headed people are just their puppets. These guys are cannon fodder for the pig-headed people. The biggest significance is to send them to death. At the same time, according to the current information from various countries in the world, they are either in civil war or invaded by some foreign forces. More often than not, the whole people's eyes are shining white and they are in a state of life that seems to be controlled by their minds, so it's better to go to the frontier and fight. I hope to rely on our people to recover our lost territory while waiting for their help, which may come at any time. Of course, His Majesty also said that it is better to capture some spoils than nothing. If possible, I even wonder if I can use the liquefied crystal to ensure that our soldiers do not suffer too many casualties as much as possible. "

Envira: "About this, that's what your Ministry of Defense should do."

Bourne: "Understood. Anyway, we have a lot of war turtle amphibious transport boats, and we can also complete the landing mission by requisitioning fishing boats or even sailboats. But I want to get His Majesty's approval to approve our troops to use liquefied crystal solution. "

So, when Zelen boarded a sailboat back to Sugui City, he soon received an inquiry from Congress. In response, Zelen quickly agreed to this matter, and allowed the soldiers of the Krurod Empire to use concentrated liquefied Tiber crystal combat treatment potions in his personal name.

Paula: "Is it really okay to do this? This thing called Tiber crystal is too weird."

Zelen: "That's why I was the first to experiment with Tiber crystal. And don't you say, this thing can grow like a plant. If the research institute opens up more planting fields, I dare say that future medical soldiers may be unemployed or even change their careers."

Miao Jie: "But have you ever thought about one thing, why did Youlizi come out of the crystal coffin made of Tiber crystal?"

Zelen: "Huh? Um..."

Zelen had no idea about this matter. However, two days later, when he came to the research institute that woke him up, he knew the answer.

Researcher: "Because Tiber crystal is a crystal that can absorb external energy, if you are a shaman who can use magic, a Tiber crystal as big as a newborn's fist can quickly restore the magic consumed by a whole day. Moreover, according to our detection, the body of Yuriko who came out of the crystal coffin has crystals of Tiber crystal in its body."

Zeren: "In the body? Will this crystal parasitize the body of a living thing?"

Researcher: "Yes. But because the blood of us, the Cyclops, and the goblins is different from that of other creatures, Tiber crystal will not parasitize and harm our bodies, but will only quickly heal our injuries and boost our fighting spirit."

Zeren: "In other words... this Tiber crystal is something of the demon clan? And there is a shadow of the demon clan behind the pig-headed man?"

Researcher: "I don't know about this. However, in our research, the inactivated and liquefied Tiberite will cause severe burn effects to creatures without our Rimai ancestry."

Zelen: "Hiss... burns? Isn't that a bit like a flamethrower? Ugh!"

Zelen, who had an idea in mind, immediately went to find Teacher Vivian and Miao Jie, who also knew the relevant knowledge, to discuss it.

Miao Jie: "Using liquefied crystal as the fuel for the flamethrower? This... I want to experiment."

As a result, under Miao Jie's experiment of carrying a sprayer on her back, a group of researchers, Teacher Vivian, and Minister Hollett, who was specially called by Zelen, all saw a sprayer caught from nowhere. The wild wolf was sprayed out by Miao Jie, showing a horrifying scene of the strange green jet of Tiberite liquefied reagent burning into coke.

Zelen: "Are you sure this isn't an incendiary bomb? Or is it the rumored acid bomb?"

In order to ensure the validity of the experiment, the researchers were ready to put more heads of wild wolves in iron cages. Naturally, Miao Jie stood 15 meters away and pressed the spray button towards the wolf in the iron cage.

Bah!

Although the sound made by the jet in Miao Jie's hand was a bit strange, the wild wolves that were hit by the jet of turquoise liquefied crystals let out more mournful wails one after another, and completely transformed into charred corpses. A dead body that won’t scream.

Bourne: "Your Majesty, I may have to change the battle plan."

Zelen: "Wait a minute, regarding this Tiber crystal, I hope it will be managed uniformly by the military and civilian contact and use will be prohibited. Moreover, any enemy burned to death by this spray must be destroyed by chemical troops!"

Bourne: "No problem! Moreover, it is so easy for women to operate such a jet... Your Majesty, if we can use jets to clear bunkers, or garrison strongholds, such as buildings with many infantry hidden inside... "

Zelen: "If the sealing system of some tanks is not good enough, then we can use this jet to kill the crew inside the tank without damaging the structure of the tank."

Since then, among the troops of the Krorod Empire, the flamethrowers who originally carried heavy flamethrowers for disinfecting tasks quickly retired, and were replaced by a group of light flamethrowers who could not only treat the wounded but also clean them. Various harmful substances, even the enemy's new chemical weapons. And it was precisely for this experiment that Zelen, in the name of His Majesty the Emperor, approved that only the army was qualified to use such an injector. At the same time, all research on Tiberite crystals must be conducted by any type of research institution under the supervision of the military.
