Volume 8 Chapter 112 s.h.i.+eld and lance

For example, the two Magic Cannons that had problems were made by the empires second Magic Cannon factory. It was no different from the Magic Cannon that the royal guards were supplied with.

But the factories of the army headquarters that produced the military magic machines never had stable quality. The quality was always worse than the Frestech Chamber of Commerces Magic Cannons and there would be frequent problems, so the people of the army had already gotten used to it.

There was even a clear difference with the Lampuri Kingdoms independently produced military magic machines.

General Darandels regiment had fought the Lampuri Kingdoms army before, they had annihilated a small group of Lampuri Kingdom scouts and had seized their military magia machines.

Just using the normal Magic Rifles as a comparison, the Magic Rifles that General Darandels regiment was equipped with could only fire eighteen rounds, but the Lampuri Kingdoms rifles could fire twenty four rounds. Although it was only changing the magazine, the firing rate was very different and there was a difference in might.

When they destroyed the twelve scouts of the Lampuri Kingdom army, General Darandel had paid eight lives.

It had to be known that he had five times the soldiers in that situation.

Other than that, when you looked carefully and touched them, you would find that the Lampuri Kingdoms rifles were clearly much more refined compared to the Marlow Empires.

What surprised General Darandel more was that the Lampuri Kingdoms rifles were clearly made of a special steel alloy. It could withstand the high temperatures of being continuously shot for a minute and could still keep firing.

If it was the Marlow Empires Magic Rifle, with such a high rate of fire, the barrel would show signs of slight deformation that would affect the accuracy and might even destroy the rifle.

In terms of accuracy, General Darandel had done a test. He had used the Lampuri Kingdoms rifle and his regiments rifle to fire at a target from the same distance.

The final result was that the Lampuri Kingdoms Magic Rifle was 20% more accurate than the Marlow Empires rifles.

This was already a very large difference when it came to these personal military magic machines.

After confirming this, General Darandel felt a sense of despair in his heart.

When did the Lampuri Kingdoms magic machine industry become this refined? It was actually greater than the Marlow Empires?

As a regiment commander on the frontlines, General Darandels feelings about this situation was without a doubt deeper than other peoples.

When facing the Lampuri Kingdoms army, it didnt matter if they had more soldiers.

With the clear difference in military magic machines between the two sides, once they exchanged fire, General Darandel would always feel like hes losing.

So seeing the Lampuri Kingdoms troops holding at the foot of the hill, he became even more anxious.

With their strength, there was hope of victory even if they attacked his position. Instead holding their position below was clearly the safer approach.

Thinking of this, General Darandel knitted his brows. He threw the combat readiness report to his guard and walked into the simple barracks behind him.

General, is something the matter? The several officers in the barracks saw General Darandel suddenly walk over and they were all surprised.

Are there any instructions from above? General Darandel asked in a deep voice.

The officers looked at each other and shook their heads.

General Darandel knitted his brows even more. He grabbed the Magic Communicator from the table and directly called the army headquarters.

After saying a few things, General Darandel angrily slapped the table and cut the call.

The officers beside him were all shocked by this and looked at him with startled looks.

General Darandel had a dark look on his face as he paced back and forth in the barracks.

His request just now was that he wanted more supplies given to him to help him defend his position, but the army headquarters gave the excuses of his position being hard to reach, the Lampuri Kingdom not making a moveand other excuses to reject him.

d.a.m.n! Those fellows said all those fine words when they wanted me to head to the frontlines, but now theyre refusing every little thing! General Darandel cursed out. After thinking about it, he took the Magic Communicator and planned on negotiating with the logistics department again.

However, after pressing it, he found that the Magic Communicator wasnt reacting at all.

General Darandel looked down with a surprised look. He saw that there werent any problems with the display light on the Magic Communicator and it was still giving off the dial tone, but it just wasnt connecting.

What is it? Is this thing broken? General Darandel slapped the Magic Communicator with a frown.

The officers came over to look and they didnt know what was happening, so they could only call for people that were in charge of maintaining the equipment.

General Darandel waited for a bit and seeing that it wasnt working, he took out his personal Magic Communicator. He was planning on directly contacting an acquaintance in the logistics department.

However, when he made his call, he found that there wasnt a single response like before.

What is going on? General Darandel was a bit confused.

When he looked up to see the camps technical staff running over and he was planning on grabbing them to ask, there were a bunch of anxious looking people that ran over from all over the camp.

After asking them, he found that these fellows had been using the Magic Communicators or were planning on using the Magic Communicators, but they couldnt connect.

General Darandels face sank.

This strange situation created a bad premonition in his heart.

At this time, there were several howling sounds that came from the distance.

The expressions of General Darandel and the surrounding soldiers all changed as they scattered, planning on finding places to hide.

Hong, hong, hong, hong.

Explosions kept ringing out as the camp fell into chaos.

Seeing one of his guards hiding with him, General Darandel kicked his b.u.t.t and angrily roared, What are you hiding for? Why havent you pa.s.sed down the order to open the barrier?

The guard quickly reacted, but before he could go out, there was a blue glow that came from the camp that formed a semicircle, covering their position.

When the Magic Sh.e.l.ls. .h.i.t this blue barrier, it only created ripples and couldnt fall on their position like before.

General Darandel let out a sigh of relief and stood up from his cover.

When he received the order to guard this pa.s.s, the first request that General Darandel made was a complete set of this new Rock Magic Barrier System.

Although it was still lacking compared to the highest grade G.o.ddess of Protection series, this Marlow Empire independently developed Rock Magic Barrier System could defend against most military magic machines.

Even if the Lampuri Kingdom armys firepower was greater than the Marlow Empires, as long as they had enough Magic Crystals, their position would be secure.

General Darandel could maintain this barrier system for over ten hours with his supply of high concentration Magic Crystals, which meant that he could stop the Lampuri Kingdoms attacks for ten hours straight.

But even if the Lampuri Kingdoms arms were better than the Marlow Empires it was impossible for them to maintain this high intensity attack for ten hours.

So General Darandel believed that there shouldnt be a problem with their position for now at least.

As for the long termthat would depend on if the army headquarters could get supplies to them in time.

Alright, what are you in a daze for? Quickly get in position and prepare to fire back! General Darandel angrily roared out before starting to give his orders.

They couldnt just get hit pa.s.sively. If they didnt attack back, with the attacks of the Lampuri Kingdom, even if they had the barrier system, they wouldnt be safe.

But when General Darandel was giving orders to his a.s.sistants and officers, planning on a.s.signing attack duties, there was a subordinate who was in charge of monitoring magic s.p.a.ce that looked up with a look of terror.

GenGeneralTheresTheres aA.

What? Speak quickly! General Darandel glared at him.

Theresan ultra high energy response fromcoming from the southwest.

Ultra high energy response? General Darandel was shocked, How high?

It mightIt might surpa.s.s the limit of the barrier

Surpa.s.s the limit of the barrier? How is that possible!

Right, what kind of joke are you making!

How could there be something that exaggerated, it must be a mistake with your surveillance system

The officers all started reprimanding this person.

General Darandel waved his hand with knitted brows, Observe carefully and after confirming

Halfway through, there was a glow that suddenly fell.

Hong!

The glow exploded and swallowed the entire regiments headquarters.

Three kilometers from the Marlow Empires mountain position, the Lampuri Kingdoms third regiment commander Count Link put down the telescope in his hand before giving a satisfied nod.

When he saw the carefully arranged defenses of the Marlow Empire at this pa.s.s, he decided not to use a forceful a.s.sault.

Now it seemed like the Marlow Empire had been prepared. They had actually put down such a large Magic Barrier System.

If they attacked normally, they might not be able to win if they shot all the Magic Sh.e.l.ls that they had stocked, so their casualties would have also been quite high.

But now, he just used three of the Lampuri Kingdoms developed mid to long range Magic Missile, destroying the Magic Barrier System and revealing the enemys position.

As long as he hit them a bit more, it would be a cinch to take this position.

Thinking of this, Count Link revealed a spirited look. He took a step forward and loudly gave an order to his regiment through his Magic Communicator.

Fire at full force! I want to take care of this before the sun sets today!

Hong, hong, hong, hong

As if in response to Count Links order, a series of loud booms suddenly rang out and shook the entire valley.
