Chapter 1153: Surging Undercurrents
At the moment when the faceless god achieved a decisive victory, on a high point near the central water vein in the mountains.
Hazy raindrops fell in this area, causing a translucent ripple for some unknown reason, as if there was an invisible object in the air blocking the raindrops from falling.
This is a secret stronghold of the empire, with a passage dug out from inside the mountain, finally creating a sniper point.
Even the Emerald Sea Dragon Beast didn't notice the presence of this secret imperial camp.
At this moment, inside this sniper point protected by special magic, a strange machine was being set up in the center of the camp.
With a length of over twenty meters, the machine had a three-part composite mechanical structure.
It displayed a graceful streamline shape, which looked like a work of art compared to the bulky and heavy 250 mechanical cannon.
A large bracket made of memory metal was firmly fixed on the ground, and the three-part mechanical structure slowly rotated with a faint blue glow.
"Do we still need to launch an attack, teacher?" Ludwig XII himself appeared in the center of the mysterious weapon.
Behind him, the last three powerful machines of the empire are running at a crazy speed, creating thunderous ripples in the air.
The empire's ultimate weapon, still in the development stage, is the massive spiral electromagnetic cannon, designed for decisive battles.
The principle is that the three machines create a large electromagnetic coil under their feet, harnessing their power to supply energy to the empire's experimental electromagnetic cannon.
Compared to traditional cannons that use chemical energy, the experimental large spiral electromagnetic cannon can unleash projectiles that can tear the ground apart. Its speed and power are enough to shred the body of the Emerald Sea Dragon Beast.
The plan of Imperial Sage Poincaré is to summon the ancient weapons of the Sia Kingdom, lure out the hidden Emerald Sea Dragon Beast in the central water vein, and destroy both ancient weapons with a single strike while the two sides are engaged in battle.
Killing two birds with one stone, using one electromagnetic cannon to take care of two troublesome enemies, it's almost a perfect plan.
Once the massive spiral electromagnetic cannon has built up enough power, it becomes truly formidable.
Inside the spiral electric cannon, there is a special device that can combine the power of all three machines and continuously enhance their upper limit.
In theory, a full-powered shot from the massive spiral electromagnetic cannon is equivalent to the combined force of nearly a hundred of these machines.
It takes several days to fully charge the large spiral electromagnetic cannon before it can unleash a powerful attack that can destroy everything.
Even if there is a live dragon, a fully charged large spiral electromagnetic cannon can kill it with a single shot.
But now, Imperial Sage Poincaré hesitated, which was rare for him.
"The information... doesn't match..."
"In the history of the divine era... such a weapon has never appeared..."
In the secret records left by the red-robed mages who once ruled the continent, there are traces of the black iron giant, the Emerald Sea Dragon Beast, and the unseen Opera House Phantom and Rift Space Dragon.
Those traces were erased from history by the mages, but it doesn't mean they don't exist.
Only the silver-white giant from the Sia Kingdom truly has no presence in history, not even a hint of a shadow.
This also posed a challenge for the calculating Poincaré. Based on the records of the divine era war, he roughly estimated the strength of the black iron giant and the Emerald Sea Dragon Beast, and concluded that as long as the large spiral electromagnetic cannon is fully powered, it can penetrate these ancient weapons with a single shot.
Any opponent with data can calculate the upper limit and find a way to defeat them.
Science is a realistic way to analyze and solve problems.
However, the formula doesn't work for opponents with unknown data.
At this moment, Poincaré is facing a century-old problem, trying to calculate the answer without knowing the data.
"Stop attacking and gather more information."
After witnessing the silver giant being sealed in the Eternal Icy Coffin and then breaking free, tearing apart the Emerald Sea Dragon Beast, Poincaré issued the order to terminate the plan codenamed "Dragon Hunting Operation."
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Three machines ran for several days and nights, desperately charging the developing large spiral electromagnetic cannon. Suddenly, the titled machine collapsed with a loud crash. Inside, the skilled operators, the empire's most elite hero-ranked knights, foamed at the mouth and lost consciousness.
Normal humans could never continuously drive a titled machine for three days and nights, even hero-ranked knights couldn't achieve it.
In order to turn them into qualified power sources, Poincaré made them consume special drugs, essentially using precious hero-ranked knights as generators.
With the command to forcibly terminate their mission, the three hero-ranked knights were finally freed from the tragic duties of the power generator.
"Morris, retrieve these machines," Poincaré ordered the red magic armored knight stationed in a corner of the camp, then walked away from this sniper point without looking back.
Morris, who had already firmly entered the core of the empire and showed signs of further ascent, had a strange smile on his lips as he looked at the large spiral electromagnetic cannon with intense eyes.
Everything is mine, whether it's the black overlord or this large spiral electromagnetic cannon, soon they will all be mine.
What belongs to me, no one can take away.
Even this empire, this world, will soon be mine.
"Ada."
"Ada."
After secretly exchanging a secret signal that only they understood, the newest rising force within the imperial army began taking control of this retreating sniper camp.
The empire's hardship is the perfect opportunity for these powerful and honest young people to step onto the stage.
Even Ludwig XII had high hopes for this new generation of knights with magic armor, who came from small noble families or even commoners, believing that they were the future of the empire.
However, there is a condition: they must be loyal and obedient dogs to the empire, serving the royal and noble families.
Only obedient dogs will be rewarded.
Nobody noticed that these knights, who were seen as loyal dogs of the empire, had silently been infected by an ominous darkness in their eyes.
"Those ancient weapons are really powerful."
"Sooner or later, we will also have this kind of power."
"Everything is for the great Ada."
"Hooray for Ada!" These young people with black particles in their eyes have already started occupying important positions in the empire.
In a time of weakened magic tide, who can truly resist the power of the extraordinary?
