Chapter 22 Is This Decision Difficult?

In short, Zelen looked at the introduction brochure of the 120mm caliber heavy mortar that the dark elves sold to him, and he couldn't help but feel a certain helplessness for its range of more than 6,000 meters and its quite lethal 120mm caliber mortar shells.

Because this cannon... the soldiers of the Krurod Empire need it very much, and they wish they could store as many as they can.

Especially the 155mm caliber heavy artillery cannot be made for the time being, and those pig-headed people come to make trouble from time to time, or because of the invasion of poisonous blast lice, the 120mm caliber mortar shell is a big killer with an absolute killing radius, that is, a death radius of up to 22 meters.

The report that a large area of ​​poisonous blast lice was immediately wiped out with one shot made Zelen himself excited. However, the 120mm caliber mortars currently used by the imperial army are just old stocks from the past. Once they are used up...

For this reason, Minister Hollett began to prioritize the establishment of mortar production factories in the rear safe zone. But the problem of supply and demand cannot be ignored, so buy it.

At least the Krurod Empire still has spices or other "garbage" to buy arms.

Moreover, compared with high-angle curved fire, the 120mm mortar can also carry out flat-fire assault operations at a certain distance.

That is, the gun body is placed at an angle of about 45 degrees to the ground, and then the shells are loaded from the muzzle, and the close-range artillery killing is carried out by pulling the rope.

Zelen: "It seems that we need to build more types of arsenals as soon as possible, otherwise our country's resources may be swept away by them in minutes."

Mike: "What do you want to do?"

Zelen: "Go back and discuss with them first."

Obviously, Zelen is not an emperor who is happy to see alien forces set foot on the territory of the Krurod Empire, especially when these alien forces are still trying to "legally and reasonably" seize national resources.

So when Zelen returned to the palace and discussed with Prime Minister Heras, Mac found Zelen's teacher, Schmidt Ivy Vivian, whom he didn't dare to meet in the past.

Vivian: "How dare your cousin come to me? After all, you..."

Mac: "Cousin, I... I..."

Vivian: "I know you have brought someone here. But can you tell me your purpose this time?"

Mac: "I hope you don't tell me the real past of the person I brought."

Vivian: "What? Could it be that you..."

Upon hearing her cousin's request, Vivian, who hadn't met or communicated for many years, was furious. After all, their mothers were sisters born of the same mother, and the Bai family and the Schmidt family had a deep connection, so Vivian naturally realized that something was wrong very quickly.

Mike: "When my three sons died one after another from Arisa's magic shockwave, I borrowed, no, stole one of your children."

Vivian: "So I've been waiting for you to explain this matter. After all, you wouldn't do this before. If I'm not mistaken, you want to train this child that our shaman has carefully nurtured to avenge your son?"

Mike: "Yes. Although I have a lot of information about magic, in the end... using magic to fight magic is the best way. Of course, what I didn't expect is that Arisa is not just one, but a group of copied biological weapons. So now I can only find you to After all, she was seriously injured before and her memory is not good."

Vivian: "Then what?"

Mike: "She has basically forgotten that she can do magic, and she has also forgotten everything in the Shaman Academy. She is temporarily staying with me as a follower who can do accounts and shoot guns. Of course, her external identity is my maid, left by one of my sons."

Vivian: "Well, cousin, what did you ask her to do?"

Mike: "The assassination was based on the intention. But the intention was not touched, and the poisonous lice blew her up and seriously injured her. In the end, I used a first aid spray provided by the underground black market to give her first aid. Although Although her life was saved, she had ingested the blood of the poisonous lice, plus the unknown ingredients in the spray. So..."

Vivian: "In order to avenge your son, you don't have to do this... But fortunately, she was an orphan, and her identity is easy to fabricate. But, cousin, you have to compensate me here."

Mike: "So I decided to send her to His Majesty."

Vivian: "What kind of compensation is this?"

Mike: "My compensation is to use several kinds of potions on her, and train her how to use various weapons for self-defense. After all, His Majesty needs a close bodyguard here, and she is the best and safest candidate."

Vivian : "Give me the list of potions you used, and then I will take her for a full physical examination. Then, cousin, I need you to complete something as compensation for the Shaman Academy's training her and expecting her to show her skills."

Mike: "Okay."

Vivian: "And cousin, you... you really don't have a son? A son who can see you off to the end..."

Mike: "No, all died. The inside is too terrible, and it is not a target that can be eliminated by normal means."

Vivian: "If you want, can you let one of your granddaughters come to your majesty together?"

Mike: "Hmm..."

Vivian: "Is this decision difficult?"

Mike: "I understand what you mean. But His Majesty..."

Vivian: "The Krurod Empire is now facing the biggest crisis since its founding. Without His Majesty, can you still talk to me?"

Mike: "Uh..."

Vivian: "I know you have always been very hostile to the concept of monarchy. However, you have to admit one fact anyway. We Japanese have always maintained a monarchy, and the vast majority of the people are still accustomed to the existence of monarchs."

Mike: "So I, the Prime Minister, the second in command of the Republic, have failed miserably. Obviously, I have..."

Vivian: "Cousin, you should not have allowed foreigners to interfere in our Japanese affairs from the beginning. Indeed, I can understand how much you hate Emperor Naiser. However, promise me that you will continue to contribute your talents to our country in the future. After all, when it comes to doing business, you are a veteran. Merchants have absolutely rich experience. What's more, we have a lot of things that can be traded, which is much better than you going into self-exile and waiting to die on Semeru Island. "

Mike: "You..."

Vivian: "Your Majesty will help you continue the bloodline of the Bai family, you can rest assured about this. But you also have to cooperate with me and hand over the child to me, I will clean up all the problems for you. And I have a way to restore her magic power. After all, I am the dean of the Shaman Academy, and I know what I should have, cousin. "

Mike: "I know."

Vivian: "Of course, Your Majesty...Zeren will definitely despise you for the rest of his life."

Mike: "Despise? Vivian, I am 64 years old this year, and there are many people who despise me. What's more, how many years can I last?"

Woo woo woo...

However, compared to Vivian's preaching, the air raid sirens from outside made Zelen walk out of the arsenal immediately.

Guard: "Your Majesty, there are three missiles from the north flying towards our Sugui City. Please leave immediately."

Zelen: "Leave? How to leave? These missiles are coming directly to our door, trying to destroy us. Compared to me, you..."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Zelen's words have not yet been finished, three large orange-painted cylinders fell directly from the sky and pierced directly into the ground of the square in Sugui City.

Then, as the people fled urgently, Zelen came with the guards, and the shell of the missile suddenly opened.

Three female pig-headed people wrapped in turquoise Tiber crystals woke up inside, and then their eyes emitted a strange indigo glow.

Boom!

Although Zelen could not feel it at all, the invisible shock wave they formed instantly blew away the surrounding buildings and even the people...
