Chapter 278 Nield's Sky Fortress
Lal had been in Nield the shortest time, so she had only seen those flying balls a few times.
Now, there was a big metal head drawn crookedly on the drawing in front of him, and Lal had no idea what it meant.
"I made some changes to the positioning of the [Flying Eye], from the previous fleet to an aircraft carrier...
No, is it a bit difficult for you to tell you this? "
Seeing Lal's increasingly confused look, Ivan decided to let her go.
"In short, this will be a flying super fortress. I think you can understand what I mean -
Well, that's not important. Can you give me some [Spell Permanence]?"
"Well, there's no limit on the number. Do you have that many spell slots?"
"Don't worry about this, let's go, we will start now..."
Before Lal could react, Ivan grabbed her hand and ran out.
As a being more mortal than mortals, the forbidden words in Lal's head began to flow wildly again.
"No, where are you taking me——"
"Eh? Aren't we going to the military factory you mentioned?"
"Huh! Why did you take me to that shabby house..."
"If it really doesn't work... can we go to a place with a cleaner environment..."
As soon as Lal was dragged into the door by Ivan, he was attracted by the round ball in front of him that was taller than several Ivans.
Pointing at Lian who was working seriously, Ivan explained his plan to Lal.
“I melted Lian’s adamantine round shield, and compressed the iron ore that was everywhere in Nield to the extreme;
I didn’t expect that after the two were fused, a magical alloy with hardness and toughness far exceeding that of the refined gold coating appeared…”
The girl in white gauze was completely confused. What was toughness and what was alloy? This knowledge was even harder to remember than her music score.
"I don't understand, Alvin, what does this have to do with the need for constant levitation?"
"Good question!
After we figured out the new alloy, we discovered that the drone was overweight;
Even when it's empty, I can't use [Mage's Eye] to make it fly...
so--"
"So you plan to use the [levitation technique] to keep this big ball floating in the air all the time?"
"Huh? You've become smarter.
That's right, in this case, [Levitation] offsets the weight of the fortress itself;
And the [Mage's Eye] only needs to expend the power to push a feather..."
Finally figuring out the design idea behind this ball, Lal glanced at Ivan secretly.
This human is abnormal, and his intelligence is also abnormal...
……
Just as Nield began to prepare for war again, the aerial tower on the west side of the deep pit had already rushed to the edge of the forest outside Nield.
Since the enemy's air force was completely destroyed, the tower moved much faster.
It is estimated that in another natural hour, the tower will reach the cliff.
The combat troops led by Percy and Liz have set up fortifications under the western cliff.
According to Ivan's plan, they now knew nothing about the tower, and they had just lost Neild's air force.
So before the enemy approaches, Percy and Lizzie need to send out some flexible scouts to conduct tentative harassment in order to obtain more detailed information.
When the Nield air battle was going on, Percy and the others could only see the small black dots in the sky from afar and had no idea what was happening.
With the appearance of the black typhoon, everyone could guess that their side had failed in this battle.
Although he was a little worried about Ivan and the others, Percy still believed that finding out the purpose of the tower according to the plan was equally crucial.
Therefore, he left the defense line alone and prepared to act as the flexible scout.
But what he didn't expect was that Liz Tomba also left her team and followed quietly.
“Ms. Liz, it is not logical for you to follow me rashly;
If we are trapped in the tower at the same time, who will command the defending forces?"
Percy's questioning was very reasonable.
There was no absolute advantage in numbers to begin with, and this force was made up of a patchwork of individuals. The departure of the commander would most likely cause the force to collapse at the first sign of battle.
“Percy, you overthink it, I’m not Tomba’s commander;
If I leave the team, my lieutenants will be able to do more.
As for you, I’m afraid that when Huiyao City investigates those soldiers, few will be willing to listen to you, a commander who got promoted through the backdoor…”
"Take the back door?"
Obviously, this sentence made Percy a little angry, but he quickly calmed down.
"I am not leading this army relying on my relationship with Shuman—"
"But that's not what they think, is it?"
Lizchao pursed her lips from behind, her golden hair was tied up into a ball under the helmet, and a few strands of hair passed through the gap in the helmet visor and poked out mischievously.
“It’s so beautiful—uh no, so what even if it’s true?
As long as I can successfully obtain intelligence from the tower..."
"Shh!"
Lizzie, who looked like she was dressed as a warrior, covered Percy's mouth.
"Two patrolmen, not flying species, detour or attack?"
"Detour - Miss Liz, your military accomplishments have impressed me..."
Putting her palm on the hilt of the sword at her waist, Liz rolled her eyes at Percy, found a new way, and lurked past.
Looking at the back of the female noble warrior, an idea began to form in Percy's mind.
But there is no time to take care of all that now.
Percy clenched the warhammer in his hand and followed Lizzie's direction.
……
By the time Alvin and Daryl's technical workers finished their work, it was almost noon.
Leia knew very well what was stuffed inside the tower. No matter how advanced the half-dragon's magic technology was, they couldn't run very fast when fully loaded.
The typhoon in the sky advances even more slowly.
Those half-dragons controlled energy that no longer belonged to them, and every step forward required precise calculations and coordination of spells.
So it is estimated that the tower has reached the edge of the cliff, and this typhoon cannot move it much.
At this moment - Leia narrowed her eyes and looked at the oversized alloy sphere in front of her, and the hidden hatch that fit tightly on the outer shell of the sphere.
This Nolihus once again gave him an unexpected surprise.
"Okay, done!"
Alvin stuffed something into the last hidden hatch, then looked at his masterpiece in a sweat.
"What a magnificent miracle! Lord Alvin!"
Uncle miner Daryl looked at the huge ball with envy.
He participated in the entire manufacturing process and knew very well how terrifying this sphere, which Alvin called a fortress, was.
"This is actually a craft that can be made by ordinary creatures... It's simply - too amazing..."
Daryl was at a loss for words, so he scratched his head and said something dryly.
"Mortal creature? This pervert is probably no longer a mortal creature..."
Lal, who was also sweating profusely, muttered softly beside him.
