I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

'Haha, I also think they don't dare. That shot scared me. The aftermath alone plowed a trench more than 50 meters long and 20 meters in diameter. Tsk tsk.'

'No wonder it cost more than 1000 million Alliance coins to fire this shot. It's worth it. But that guy is really tough. I didn't kill him even though I planned it.'

"Alas, if only the Saint was that easy to kill~ I can understand Wei's choice. If you aim at the head or the heart, there's a high chance that they will be sensed. It's better to play it safe and injure them."

Seeing them talking and laughing, and hearing the word Alliance Coin, Bratt relaxed a lot: "Are you sent by the Alliance to rescue me?"

It's no wonder he didn't recognize them. This was a secret operation of the alliance, so they wouldn't have any markings on them. Bratt, who was frightened by Betty's ruthless headshot, didn't observe them too closely.

This kind of camouflage is actually not very effective. People can roughly recognize which country the troops belong to at a glance.

But everyone does this. Even if you catch something without our flag, we will not acknowledge it, let alone redeem it. Anyway, as long as we don't give people any reason to criticize us, that's enough.

Hearing this, Betty tilted her head and glanced at him, then said softly, "Well, you're safe now."

Bratt laughed at himself: "I should have thought of it earlier. Now no one will come to save me except you, and there is no need to go through so much trouble to kill me."

To be honest, Bratt is really unlucky. He probably never thought that one day he would be kidnapped by a saint-level powerful person.

A strong man of this level can easily become an honorary grand duke in any kingdom. Why would he bother with a little prince? Are you crazy? What's the point!

Betty closed the map and said seriously, "Prince Bratt has a national gift from the Alliance. We have the obligation and right to guarantee your safety."

Bratt was dazzled by the porcelain-white thighs, and quickly turned his head and whispered: "You paid a high price to save me, is it necessary to go to this extent?"

"We don't consider the cost. We are only responsible for following orders. Our mission now is to send you to a safe place. All losses during this period will be borne by the alliance. You just need to cooperate with us."

'good! ’

From the time the special forces took action to the time the gunboats finished off the battle, the total duration of the battle was no more than ten minutes, but the results achieved were astonishing.

Except for one seriously injured bandit soldier who escaped, all the rest were slaughtered. Hundreds of soldiers from the Puelent Kingdom who went to investigate the situation were also killed by the justice that came from heaven.

The kidnapped Prince Bratt was also taken away by this group of mysterious people and disappeared without a trace like a drop of water into the sea.

People in both the Puelente Kingdom and the Surya Kingdom were furious and began to get nervous.

Puelent was simply because the king was frightened to death when he saw the terrible wound on his brother, and thought that his brother was going to die. Fortunately, the saint had an extremely terrifying vitality, and even if his intestines were evaporated, they could grow back after recuperation for ten days or half a month.

The situation within the Surya Kingdom was even more chaotic because Crown Prince Bulat was kidnapped and the king was seriously ill and unconscious. The eldest prince began to preside over the kingdom's government affairs and gradually took over the king's rights.

As for why Bratt was kidnapped, it was naturally due to the contribution of the eldest prince Beram. He believed that he did not pay anything, but only promised to give the Port of Pebes to King Puelente unconditionally after the coronation.

As for how to quell the public opinion that may be aroused in the country, it is even simpler. As long as the King of Puerente marries a princess to her, the Port of Pebes can be sent as a betrothal gift.

And the eldest prince Beram just needed a strong external force to help him subdue the major merchants and nobles who were dissatisfied with him and secure his throne. It can be said that everyone was happy.

Beram gets angry when he talks about it. Originally, he is the first in line to the throne as the crown prince, while the little prince Blatt is nothing. It would be great if he is given the title of an idle prince after he is crowned king.

As a result, Blatt happened to run into the rapidly developing Seris Alliance. As the Seris Alliance developed faster and faster, the two sides had more and more areas of cooperation, and the Surya Kingdom became more and more dependent on the alliance.

As the first and only person in the country who maintains close friendship with the alliance, Blatter naturally became the crown prince.

The reason is very simple. The domestic merchant nobles need a new king who has good relations with the alliance. Due to geographical reasons, a large part of the foreign trade of the Seris Alliance is carried out through the trade routes of the Surya Kingdom, or simply sold directly to Surya merchants.

They then go to other kingdoms and empires to sell the products with their mature channels, and they only need to negotiate the purchase price with the Seris Alliance.

Being a middleman and making a profit from the price difference is a highly profitable business, especially for medium and large industrial machinery and machine tools produced by the alliance. These are products that the alliance unilaterally monopolizes and that are urgently needed by capital from other countries.

There is no risk in being a middleman. In addition, with the huge energy demand of the Alliance, Suriya and his gang of businessmen have long been accustomed to living a life of ease and ease by reaping the dividends from the Alliance. Naturally, they do not want to have unnecessary conflicts with the Alliance over such a small issue as changing the king.

But it was a small problem for them, but it was a huge problem for Beram, who always regarded himself as the future king.

This led to a series of subsequent conflicts.

Beram had not taken the possible reaction of the Seris Alliance into account in his plan from the beginning.

It's not that he doesn't care, he just thinks the alliance shouldn't go into a fight with him over such a small matter.

He didn't want to kill Blatter, he just wanted to "exile" him to other countries for a few years, and then he could do whatever he wanted to him after he firmly sat on the throne.

As a result, Blatter has a good thing~

The alliance was able to do this at all costs, even sending out the tactical team and the Saint.

Chapter 192 My Fist Is Not Too Hard

'Where are we going?'

When the SUV stopped to refuel, Bratt couldn't help asking. Betty, who was replacing the new energy crystals in the exoskeleton, glanced at him:

"Let's go to the jungle between Mithra and Bath. It's more suitable for us to hide there. Pueren's air cavalry is in trouble. Just in case, we have to wait for the Queen-class airship to arrive."

In fact, if the 50m combat airship had not been relatively cumbersome in air combat, Betty would have accomplished the mission by simply sending Bratt onto the airship.

But she couldn't take the risk. If she was really besieged by the enemy's air cavalry, it would be terrible. Bratt didn't have multiple protections like the mecha soldiers. If something happened, the worst that could happen was that he could run away.

In comparison, it would be better to let Bratt evacuate with them. With two explosion-proof jeeps equipped with shield generators, they will have more room to counterattack in an encounter.

In short, due to safety issues, many risky operations that they are accustomed to have to be avoided as much as possible when non-professional combatants are present, unless they reach a life-threatening level.

'oh...'

Bratt nodded obediently, and glanced at Betty's exoskeleton armor again and again: "Does the Alliance sell this thing you have? It's really cool!"

Betty laughed dumbly: "You shouldn't ask me this."

Bratt shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, I will ask Her Majesty the Queen after we get out."

Betty nodded. "Let's rest for another half an hour before setting off again. Xiao Liu, send our location and needs to the headquarters, and airdrop a batch of supplementary supplies to us at the entrance of the jungle."

'receive! ’

She didn't think Blatt couldn't afford it, but there was a high probability that he couldn't buy it, at least not for the time being.

After the first generation of exoskeletons adapted to mechas was developed, the second generation version suitable for individual mobile combat was naturally put on the agenda.

Functions are not added randomly, and components are streamlined to make it more versatile on the battlefield. At the same time, a set of bulletproof vests and tactical straps are attached to the upper body.

There are no steel plates inside the bulletproof vest, but instead flexible plates made of 5cm energy crystals. While providing a certain level of defense against kinetic weapons, it can also provide energy for the small shield generator and exoskeleton transmission on the body.

The kinetic energy of the bullet can damage the energy crystal that comes into contact with it, but it cannot react with the elemental energy in the crystal. Magic attacks are blocked by the magic shield, which is a relatively suitable compromise.

After all, the original intention of designing the exoskeleton is to enhance the individual qualities of ordinary people and to raise them to the level where they can fight against magicians. It must have good flexibility and versatility for large-scale manufacturing and mass production.

Various targeted outer armor components can be temporarily added according to different needs, and the complete form can be the current Alliance mecha model, or even various military and civilian derivative and improved models in the future.

In short, the position of the exoskeleton in the alliance is the foundation of everything. Your magic is terrible, but my fists are also strong.

Medea didn't expect that she could bypass many barriers in her previous life and start overtaking others. Perhaps this is normal.

If one wants to survive and compete in the low-magic environment of the subcontinent, even if industrial technology does not emerge, sooner or later a completely new school of magic alchemy will emerge, which is different from the main continent's.

For example, the elves have already shown signs of this, wooden man-machines, chimeric multifunctional magic arrays, etc. are really cool~

In the capital of Puelent, the king did not go to bed even though it was already late at night. Instead, he was furious at his men.

After his brother flew back to the capital with serious injuries, he had already sent a large number of troops to the scene of the incident.

At the same time, he mobilized the noble troops of the neighboring states through magic communication. He also warned those nobles not to kill people and to bring them to the royal capital so that he could deal with them personally.

As a result, the night was almost over, and the armies of three states plus the Border Corps were so tight that they couldn't find even a ghost, and there was no news about the Guards Air Cavalry. How could he not be angry?

He now felt like he had been slapped in the face for no reason. His gums were bleeding and he didn't know who did it. He felt so frustrated.

He knew that the Seris Alliance was definitely behind this, but who were the specific troops and people? He wanted the thing that injured his brother to pay with blood, not to argue with the alliance.

King Puelente didn't know yet that the person he was thinking about had already returned to the Queen-class airship, which had been fully resupplied, and was fast asleep.

Mi Wei frowned and scratched her itchy cheek in her sleep, then turned over weakly and continued to sleep. The feeling of being drained was really not good.

After this aerial behemoth with a length of more than 400 meters drained the ballast water, the giant propeller blades behind the two large air bags began to slowly rotate and flew towards the direction of Bass in Puerente.

At the same time, 500 air knights, led by their captain Badat, chased in the direction where Betty and the others left.

The tracks of the fully loaded off-road vehicle were too conspicuous in the Gobi Desert, and such unfamiliar signs of movement would naturally not be ignored by the experienced Badat.

However, because they spent a lot of time flying from the royal capital to Ujekados State, and their mounts needed to rest for a while, they could not catch up.

Just at noon, Betty and others, who had been traveling day and night, followed the source of the signal and found the supply boxes dropped by the transport plane.

Dismantle the air cushion and parachute in the supply box, in addition to the essential food, water, ammunition and crystal replenishment.

There were also four long ammunition boxes in the box, which contained a sniper rifle, two general-purpose machine guns, a recoilless gun and twenty shells wrapped in shock-proof cotton.

The remaining space was occupied by a high-power radio, anti-personnel mines, and neatly stacked TNT explosive packs, with 11 sets of dark camouflage robes at the bottom of the box.

Betty's team, including Blatt, only has 11 people in total. Such supply configuration is absolutely outrageous.

After Betty counted the supplies and assigned the responsibilities, she threw a bag of food to Bratt, who was standing there in a daze: "This is chocolate. Eat some to replenish your energy and then we'll set off."

'Oh, well... this tastes weird!'

Betty ignored him, holding a chocolate in her mouth, winked at her teammate who was a demolition man, and then glanced at the off-road vehicle.

The latter nodded, took a sip of water, and then called two teammates to carry TNT explosives and mines and went to the two cars to tinker with them.

They definitely can't drive these things into the jungle, and they can't take them away, so they might as well make use of their final value.

"The third and fourth brothers will lead him first, and the rest of you and I will follow behind."

Betty and others have to help Bratt clear and cover up the traces as a means of confusing the pursuing enemy.

Entering the jungle, there are dense branches and leaves of trees to provide cover, and the enemy will lose the advantage of attacking from the air.

Chapter 193 It’s broken, so I’m selling it at a low price!

Chernite Line

Although the Holy See had conquered this important city long ago, the Roshek Dynasty did not easily compromise and give up this important gateway.

A large number of armed serfs and civilian believers were organized to launch waves of attacks on Chernit, which delayed the pace of the Vatican's army and prevented them from moving forward.

The two sides thus began a bloody battle for position.

According to the previous main continent war model, it would not have turned out like this.

There were still large-scale encounters and siege battles, but they were not as frequent as they are now. The two sides still competed in the use of highly mobile arms such as cavalry and air knights.

Whether or not it is possible to penetrate and destroy the enemy's supply lines can largely determine the success or failure of a war. After all, whether it is a mechanical soldier or an ordinary person, they all have physiological needs.

However, since the introduction of the Alliance's muskets, machine guns, field support artillery, etc., the intensity of the war has begun to escalate endlessly.

A network of trenches, barbed wire, cat-ear holes, and machine gun bunkers were successively arranged on the positions of both sides. No matter which side charged or counterattacked, it would lose a large number of manpower.
