Chapter 1047

Duanjieshan fortress, the fifth day and night.

"What's going on?!"

Dreisis, the deputy commander of the fortress, stood in front of the gate, almost writing anger and fear on his face.

No one dared to speak, and there was a dead silence everywhere; All the officers who came with them kept their mouths shut and pretended to be mute.

Behind him were a dozen equally panicked alchemists who dared not look into the eyes of the deputy commander;

In front of him... Is an empty warehouse.

Yes, it means literally; There was nothing left, not even a starved mouse.

When he last inspected the warehouse six days ago, there were mountains of kindling agents, alchemy bombs and kerosene that could burn quickly and be full of viscosity, which could melt into water in ice and snow and would not dissipate.

According to the original plan, that's enough to last ten days!

How did you use it up?!

The officers who looked at each other looked at each other, and then looked at the deputy commander of the fortress.

Dreisis knew, of course, that his extravagance in recent days had been nearly twice as fast as his original plan; There's no way. He must do that, or it's tantamount to letting salika Jonah and the defenders out of the city die.

At the beginning, dreisis was somewhat guilty and worried that the logistics reserve was not enough to last until the defenders arrived; But soon he had to give up this idea, because the attack momentum of the Azores was always fierce, almost like a violent attack to death. As long as he ordered the use of fire oil or alchemy bombs, he could reap the fruits that even the cavalry could not get.

Although the attempt to force the enemy to retreat with heavy casualties ended in failure; But dreisis didn't have any regrets. He even felt that he didn't release enough and was not cruel enough to avenge Seth braha and a thousand knights.

But even so, there should not be a situation that all stocks are exhausted in five days!

Duanjie mountain fortress has many alchemists and a mountain of materials. In addition, there are a group of wizards left in duanjie mountain in the reinforcements sent by Byrne. There should be no risk in logistics.

Even if you consume too fast, it doesn't mean you can't replenish it!

Even if you can't persist for ten days, seven or eight days is always OK?!

"Gentlemen, I need an explanation... Thousands of soldiers fighting for the safety of the Empire in the whole fortress need an explanation."

Dreisis turned and glanced coldly at the alchemists' faces: "why... Do you let the logistics reserve run out?"

Glancing at the deputy commander of the fortress whose face was difficult to see the extreme, all alchemists collectively retreated half a step, and the corners of their mouths closed tightly on their pale faces without saying a word.

"Say!"

"I, I, we... We did our best!"

A startled alchemist explained in a panic: "we started working from the first day of the war, working day and night, but we still can't keep up with the speed of consumption! The loss speed of the front line is too fast, even double the estimate is not enough!"

"That's right! It's not that we don't want to, but that we really can't do it - even for defective substitutes, it takes a lot of time to make, and the effect can't be guaranteed!"

In the face of the alchemists' excuses, dreisis remained silent with a gloomy face until the other party stopped talking.

Of course he knows this, but that's not what he wants to know.

A quarter of an hour later, when the last alchemist closed his mouth again and the warehouse returned to silence, dreisis asked coldly:

"So, gentlemen, are you going to tell me that it's really just because of 'powerlessness'...?"

"Of course..."

"Because if you tell me so, I will tell the soldiers outside that the alchemists in the fortress can no longer provide any support for them." dreisis interrupted impolitely:

"So I repeat, in addition to objective reasons, what other reasons... Lead to your failure to provide sufficient logistical support?"

"This..."

The alchemists looked at each other with different expressions.

…………………………

"Bang --!"

When dreisis, led by a volunteer alchemist, opened the door on the other side of the warehouse, he saw... A scene he had never seen in his life.

As an imperial aristocrat, he even visited the laboratory of the imperial wizard college and saw with his own eyes the complex ancient Rune depiction and how the alchemical creation was born.

But the scene before him was unheard of.

With a huge magic circle as the center, a dozen Bain wizards who came with the floating city formed a circle and buried themselves in work. A young man with untidy hair standing in the center of the magic circle kept shouting something; Whenever he spoke, a wizard got up and modified the magic array under his feet according to the instructions of the words.

"If the rune in the upper left corner is modified, the corresponding part must be modified again - add two runes that can play a linkage effect, and then... What is the linkage effect? Haven't you graduated from your apprentice yet?"

"Gentlemen, we have plenty of time, but don't whisper; we're making a work of art. We're artists - of course, I'm exactly the artist. You're at most a kind of brush or manuscript paper - artists don't whisper!"

"Don't look who comes in and who goes out again. You're working! Everyone can't stop without my order..."

"Everybody, stop --!"

Before Isaac finished, the roar of the frightened dreisis had sounded first.

As soon as the voice fell, dozens of Knight officers of the fortress rushed straight into the laboratory and pushed the "busy" Wizards aside, with a faint resentment in their indifferent expression.

"Hello, this is my laboratory!"

Isaac Grantham, with wide eyes, shouted inexplicably at the knights who broke in: "who allows you to enter... Stop, don't move, it's all mine..."

"Wizard Isaac Grantham, I need an explanation."

Dreisis, with a black face, interrupted him and stood directly in front of Isaac: "what are you... And these wizards doing here?"

"What are you doing?"

Isaac's expression became more baffled and suddenly opened his arms: "don't you have eyes - look around and ask again what I'm doing?"

Dreisis wanted to put down the wizard who dared to shout at himself with one punch, but he thought it was Byrne's man, so he held back.

"Well, let me put it another way." dreisis said coldly, "Your Excellency Isaac..."

"It's Sir Isaac!"

A arrogant man with a small face and a proud akimbo said, "I'm an imperial knight who was personally sealed by Emperor Conrad and is a hereditary Knight!"

"Sir Isaac, excuse me..." dreisis's expression was extremely Black: "have you and these wizards provided any help for the logistics of the fortress in the past five days?"

"No!"

Isaac answered very happily.

"Have you treated any wounded Legion soldier, or provided him with any help that a wizard can provide?"

"No! I'm not an alchemist or a doctor. Those jobs have nothing to do with me!"

"Good..." dreisis has gnashed his teeth: "then from now on, I announce to you, Sir Isaac, you are banned - you will no longer get any resources provided by logistics support, all your experiments will be stopped, and the Wizards working for you will be transferred to do more important and meaningful work."

"Instead of staying here with your 'artist'... Fooling around doing nothing!"

"What... No!"

Isaac's expression finally changed: "you, you... You can't stop my work. These are the wizards who work with me in Byrne. You can't take them away!"

"I can!"

Dreisis, who was completely unbearable to him, roared: "this is the fortress of duanjie mountain. I am the first executive commander here. All personnel here must obey my orders!"

"Including you, Sir Isaac Grantham, must obey my orders - otherwise I have the right to lock you up and monitor your every move!"

"All the resources here must be used to fight the Azores according to my arrangement!"

"For fighting with elves..." Isaac frowned, "what do you want us to do?"

"What to do is very simple. Every wizard can do it!" dreisis said hysterically. "You and Byrne's wizards should provide enough drugs, alchemy bombs and kindling agents for the soldiers on the front line, and even everything that can help them fight against the elves!"

"But you have enough people to do these things," Isaac asked.

"No, not at all; otherwise I wouldn't be here, would I?!"

"No, no, no, you didn't understand me. I mean, the ability to make complaints about these things is already the limit of efficiency at the moment," Isaac also struggled to resist the desire to Tucao.

"The alchemists of duanjieshan fortress are experts in this field. Even if we join in, we can't improve the efficiency, or even help - because I and the wizards who work with me are not good at these."

Dreisis binocular anger: "how do you know?!"

"Because I just know. I did the calculation the day I stayed." Isaac said calmly, "the result is that the sum of our two groups is not as efficient as before - you have to spare some people and spend a few days teaching us how to do these things."

"The efficiency was only 76% a few days ago, and then it could rise to 95% in the next two days. Finally, it fluctuated up and down 130%... It had to be an ideal situation!"

"So... Instead of letting me waste the greatest resource of my 'talent' and help the soldiers of the fortress do these useless work, I'd better do something really meaningful."

"Like?!"

"For example... Hold the fortress of duanjieshan."

As the words fell, dreisis was stunned, even the knight officers around him.

Only Isaac was still staring at him, his convulsive mouth with anger that he couldn't vent.

This is what Lena de sallion taught him - if you want to be angry when you can't be angry, make faces at each other.

In the dead laboratory, dreisis, with a frown, looked at the magic array on the ground, slowly looked up, and his eyes trembled at the crazy wizard in front of him.

"You mean... This magic array?"

"To be exact, it should be the whole system linked by this magic array."

Isaac finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to talk freely: "as we all know, after the force of emptiness reaches a certain strength, it can affect the material world and even distort some laws - of course, it's not that easy, but you can listen to it first."

"So after I collected some research on master corona, I found a way to expand the scope of influence and even further affect a certain area; in this way, we can even change the whole situation in a short and small scale!"

"In order to express its meaning, I specially named it... The heart of the Savior, after all, to guard the duanjie mountain is to guard the whole world."

"That is to say, with this thing, we can hold the fortress of duanjie mountain?"

"Uh... I shouldn't."

"Why not?"

"It's not finished yet, of course not."

“……”

Resisting the urge to beat him, dreisis said patiently, "so what will happen if... Is done?"

"If it is completed... The void force running in this magic array will penetrate into all corners of the whole Fortress - from the tower to the foundation of the castle and wall will be completely eroded by the void force."

Isaac patiently explained: "at that time, the thing under our feet will become... Er, imagine it as a huge control wrench. As long as there is a wizard here, we can start the whole magic array, trigger a series of vibrations and deformations, and finally have the effect of deformation."

"Of course, the stacking of quantity will eventually lead to qualitative change, so this is a perfect plan that can use the 'seesaw' principle to achieve unexpected results; to put it more simply, it is that it is possible to achieve the effect of two or three times with a small amount of force, and it will eventually..."

"Infiltrate every corner of the fortress?"

Dreisis's eyes lit up and didn't hear what Isaac said behind him: "do you mean you can use magic to control the whole fortress and let her attack the enemies who are constantly attacking?"

"No, I mean I can use the magic array to trigger the crustal change of duanjie mountain, first make the fortress of duanjie mountain collapse, and then cause a large-scale earthquake to bury the fortress alive."

Isaac, of course.

Dreisis was stunned.
