The goblin Totokani was operating the main driver's seat, and Lin was sitting in the passenger seat. A group of people in the back row were still not used to the speed of the Sid. They gritted their teeth and let themselves sink deeply into the seats, fearing that they would fall into a mess like before. But someone really wants to say that it really doesn't matter.
Stone had dispelled the body of the elemental creature, leaving only a head, but this time it could not be inserted into the spring in front of the driver's seat. In the same place, there is a Hawaiian hula doll that Lin made during his free time during these days.
In order to save trouble, the materials used are all magic materials, and the appearance can be directly changed using the shaping technique. Even ordinary materials can be transformed by magic. As long as the power is interrupted, they may return to their original shape or decay at any time. And someone is too lazy to carve out a piece of wood, so he acts extravagantly and cheaply. Anyway, the dosage is not much, just use the cheapest scraps.
Moreover, someone who made this magic bobbling doll also hid some functions in it as one of the secret functions of remote monitoring of the Sid. Of course, he did not tell anyone else. In the eyes of others, this is just a mascot made by someone under strange insistence.
Watching the doll swing violently sometimes under Totokani's jerky flying operations, sometimes changing direction and shaking gently. Paired with a fluttering grass skirt, swaying like a water snake, all the feeling of someone is back. The Sid number insists that it is not perfect because it lacks a beauty icon.
But if someone is satisfied, someone else is not happy. For example, Stone, who was held in Kaya's arms, said regretfully: "What a shame, I quite like that position."
Someone in the passenger seat really wanted to complain about Stone's sentiments. But as soon as he turned around and saw the black-haired and brown-skinned girl playing with the zombie head, someone felt that if he opened his mouth, he would definitely go wrong. Kaya's hobbies are really different from ordinary people. It is said that recently, she has begun to ask the lich for undead magic.
I really want to tell her, Miss, even if you want to learn necromancy, you should at least pass the formal magician qualifications first. What's the point of hanging on to the position of apprentice now?
Take a few deep breaths to calm yourself down a little. The rest of the journey was spent in this carefree atmosphere.
The reason why the journey was safe was undoubtedly due to the Sid's super speed, which disrupted the layout of many Gwana Empires.
Originally, after receiving the report from the commander of the 10th Army, Javid Poole, the emperor was surrounded by voices that dismissed the commander of the 10th Army. But because too many people were operating in private, showing only greed for power and position, no one tried to solve the problems that had occurred. Instead, the emperor ignored many whispers, and Javed Poole's position was thus stabilized. .
In the empire's military system, although the emperor has the right to approve and dismiss general positions, the candidates are provided by the Ministry of Military Affairs. Prevent the emperor from choosing a fool who doesn't know how to fight to be the commander of an army because of his personal likes and dislikes. Not to mention how many soldiers such a person would kill, if they failed in a key battle, the damage would be borne by the entire empire.
This means that as long as the emperor does not want to remove anyone, the Ministry of Military Affairs will have nothing to do with the appointed generals, and of course others will have no chance to take over. This kind of system design is to let the generals of the empire understand who they should be loyal to and who has the right to decide their own power.
But in turn, the emperor dismissed the generals at will, but the Ministry of Military Affairs did not propose candidates who only wanted to flatter and satisfy the emperor. This would only leave the position of commander of the army vacant and nothing could be done. Even if the emperor appoints someone beyond the Ministry of Military Affairs, the legions will not obey such orders.
Such a system can be regarded as a unique way of checks and balances for the top management of the Gwana Empire. Of course, there are so many ingenious operations that it is difficult to describe them all.
In the face of the problems reported from Abadan City, the empire's top leaders shared the same general direction, but they differed on the details.
First of all, the common opinion of everyone regarding Javed Poole's purple sealing wax document is that it is 'ridiculous'. If the gate to the abyss had been officially opened and the demons invaded in large numbers, everyone would have thought it more reasonable if they saw a purple-waxed request for help on their desks. Now a mere magician, a lich, and a black dragon have surrendered. When did the empire become so weak?
Some radical ministers believed that the loss of a viscount family and a thousand-man brigade was too heavy. The culprit must be caught and burned at the stake so that the subjects can maintain their respect for the empire.
Some moderate ministers advocated that it is the empire's consistent position to recruit capable people to join the empire and become a part of this powerful country. There is no reason to leave such talent out and should find a way to capture it. Of course, if the other party firmly disagrees, it is impossible to allow them to join other countries, and some unavoidable actions will inevitably be taken.
There are also neutralists who advocate acceptance, but they must be severely punished, and their lives can be spared, but their sins must be atonement. Failure to do so would not be enough to show the empire's magnanimity and fairness.
Regardless of which faction's views, people must be arrested first. His Majesty the Emperor has no objection to this, and even thinks that wasting time on these people is very meaningless. So I waved my hand and let the ministers handle it themselves. As he is old, he has to focus on discussing more important national affairs.
Because a regular regiment of a thousand people was killed, the main department responsible was of course the Empire's Military Affairs Department. After all, enemies that can challenge the army are not objects that can be dealt with by the power of other departments. love me
After the Minister of Military Affairs left the emperor's presence, he went directly to the military drawing room. There are sandbox maps of the entire empire and surrounding countries, as well as a group of flexible young noble officers.
From a room dedicated to collecting maps hundreds of years ago, it expanded to become the most important place for planning the mobilization of imperial military forces. Countless invasions and counterattacks, and war plans were all completed in this room.
Even when the empire is at its weakest, the war geniuses staying in this room can mobilize their military power to form an advantage in a local area where the numbers can defeat the few. The accumulation of small victories eventually led to the empire defeating one country after another and sweeping them into the dust of history.
If Lin knew the situation in this room, he would probably feel like a staff member. But someone doesn't know. At the same time, without knowing it, he was placed on the sand table here and became the target of young people's deductions.
Considering that the opponent has two magicians as the main force, coupled with a black dragon with strong magic defense and physical defense, the young officers in the military drawing room suggested mobilizing the strongest first magic brigade of the first legion. And spend a lot of resources, use legion-level teleportation magic array, and pay the highest attention to win the opponent.
At the same time, it is also recommended to use the imperial military intelligence division with private authority on the forum to issue orders for security and encirclement to the commanders of the legions and garrison garrison.
However, the Minister of Military Affairs felt funny when he thought of a certain magician in the report of the young officers. The other party probably doesn't know that the forum he created has become the best weapon to transmit information and orders against him.
As the first magic brigade of the Empire's sword, it is a super luxurious lineup of all great magicians. Even in the Magician Association, not many branches have the means to pull out such troops, let alone enforce laws and obey orders like an army. Being able to use such an army is the most basic confidence of the empire.
It is precisely because of such a brigade that can act quickly that peace can always be maintained within the empire, and the nobles are also very restrained. There was no way, it didn't take more than a day to dispatch the First Magic Brigade to solve various problems. What is more time-consuming is the time it takes for the team to return to the capital after the matter is resolved.
Teleportation magic arrays are scattered throughout all important cities in the Gwana Empire. Rich people can use the teleportation magic circle to travel back and forth to the outermost territories on the east and west sides of the empire in one day, and then return to the capital. However, this can only be done on a small scale, and there are strict controls on carrying materials.
To achieve legion-level teleportation, it not only consumes a considerable amount of magic power, but is also fundamentally different from the general teleportation magic array setup. In this way, it is possible to transport more than a thousand people and the materials they need at the same time. Basically, only the imperial capital has this ability.
This is also the reason why the First Magic Brigade can quickly put down rebellions everywhere. Relying on the convenience of teleporting magic, they can be said to be looking after the empire as if it were their own backyard. But after finishing the work, if you want to return to the capital, you will not have the same treatment as when you set out. Basically you have to rely on other methods to get back.
Because of this, which city the troops are sent to has become an important key to determining victory or defeat.
Predicting the opponent's whereabouts allowed two mere magicians and a black dragon to collide head-on with the empire's proud magic brigade.
. This is what the group of young officers in the military drawing room are racking their brains to plan.
After everyone's discussion, these young officers agreed that sending the magic brigade to Hailis City was the best choice.
The reason is also quite good. As a magician from out of town, the most likely destination is the holy city of Estali in the world of magicians. To take an airship from the city of Abadan, it can be said that the most classic route is along the cities along the Alberz Mountains.
And because it is within the territory of the empire, there are many big cities where airships can be parked, so most people choose to park in cities every day and stay overnight. After all, the comfort level on an airship is vastly different from that of the most ordinary hotel. Then after leaving Abadan City, Hailes City is the next scheduled place.
Even if the speculation is incorrect, the other party's whereabouts should be in a city near Hailis City.
At that time, in this airship hub city, it will be easy to temporarily recruit airships to transport the magic brigade to the target location.
Therefore, after the Minister of Military Affairs signed the order, the first magic brigade of the first army of the Gwana Empire was dispatched!
