Chapter 1268 Hope for revival (it’s ten o’clock that summer is still bright and it’s really long)
After getting two magic mounts, Duanmu Huai left with satisfaction. On the other side, the open space behind the Stormwind City Auction House was now strictly blocked.
"Is this the mecha that the adventurer took out?"
Varian stared at the mecha more than four meters tall in front of him, with a serious expression, while the dwarf businessman stood beside him, not daring to take a breath.
Duanmuhuai didn''t know that in fact, the one who manipulated this transaction behind the scenes was the royal family. In fact, as early as when they came to the auction house, MI7 had been sending people to stare at them. After Duanmu Huai had no success in dealing with the dwarf businessman, the agents from the MI7 immediately found the dwarf businessman and asked about the situation.
After learning that the other party was willing to barter because they had no money, the MI7 immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to investigate the other party''s wealth. So they asked the dwarf businessman to negotiate with Duanmuhuai again to see what he could get.
Of course, hot melt bombs are not good. The thing is too powerful, so it is a problem to take it back and put it on. In the end, the agent still proposed that there is no limit on military use.
As for the money from the two magic mounts, they naturally went to the public account through the royal family.
So on the surface, Duanmuhuai is trading with dwarf merchants, but in fact he is doing business with the royal family.
Well, of course Duanmu Huai doesn''t care. Anyway, he just needs to get these two magic mounts.
But Varian has more things to consider.
"How to use this thing?"
Varian has never seen mechas. After all, the dwarfs are best at engineering and have made similar things. However, this kind of mecha was completely different from what Varian had seen before, which made him a little curious. Fortunately, Duanmuhuai has instructions in his mecha, and most of the dwarfs are proficient in engineering. Even if the text is not clear, they can guess some of them by placing the pattern on it.
Hearing Varian’s inquiry, the dwarf businessman hurriedly walked up and pressed the button. Then he saw the hatch door behind the mecha open, revealing a space that could accommodate one person standing.
The original Knight Mecha was not set in this way. During the Human Empire, Knight Mecha needed to pass through the mechanical throne to be controlled. If you want to manipulate the mechanical throne, you must surgically insert the connecting cable of the mechanical throne into the neural interface between the driver''s brain and cerebellum.
Just thinking about it can tell how troublesome this kind of manipulation is, which is why Duanmu Huai has always been not very concerned about the Knight Mecha and Titans.
It was not until in the world of aircraft warfare that Duanmuhuai obtained the sound and light control system of Gangbasta, that changed.
The operation method of the Gangbasta is very simple and clear. To put it bluntly, it is a cylindrical control platform, and the driver can synchronize with the mecha as long as he stands inside. In other words, the driver will do whatever action it is inside, and the mecha outside will do what action it is.
Isn’t this better than a mechanical throne?
After that, Duanmu Huai replaced all the mechas in the Inquisition, including the Knight Mechas and Titans, with the sound and light synchronization control platform of the Gangbasta. In this way, he only needs to place a doll in the control platform to activate the mecha to launch an attack.
And since the doll is a soul card from Duanmuhuai, there is no need to worry about being polluted and invaded by electronic demons like smart AI.
In fact, in order to prevent treacherous and electronic demons, all the mechanical devices of the Inquisition are strictly artificial. However, Duanmuhuai did not have so many imperial soldiers under his command, so he could only use dolls instead. Of course, most of the time, dolls only need to do some basic work.
It is precisely because of this that Duanmu Huai took out this Knight mecha for a transaction. Anyway, all the equipment of the Inquisition Court under his magic modification is almost manual operation. As long as the Storm Kingdom can find enough personnel, even the destroyer can fly.
Of course, the destroyer Duanmuhuai will not give it to you. During the Human Empire, Knight Mecha was often used to "maintain public order" on many medieval civilized planets. Some planets even had medieval cavalry, with several Knight Mechas in front of them.
If any college student traveled to the Knight planet in the era of the Human Empire, and saw that he was surrounded by unscrupulous medieval nobles oppressing the poor, he rose up and relied on what he had learned throughout his life to lead the rebel army to the lord''s gate, preparing to shock the other party a little bit of modern civilization, but he saw a knight mecha coming out of the other party''s castle gate...
Tsk tsk, it’s so beautiful that you can’t see it.
So Duanmu Huai doesn''t care if this thing is placed in Azeroth.
Okay, let’s get back to the topic.
After the dwarf businessman briefly introduced the manipulation method, a knight loyal to the royal family took the initiative to stand up as the manipulator. Varian and others took a few steps back, watching the knight walk into the cockpit, and the hatch door slowly closed. After a while, everyone saw the mecha''s eyes lit up suddenly, and then they stood up directly.
Then the mecha turned around and looked at Varian.
"Your Majesty."
“How do you feel?”
"It''s very convenient, Your Majesty."
The tone of the knight who controlled the mecha was very surprised.
"As long as I make an action inside, I can fully synchronize to the outside mecha."
"Oh? Is that?"
Varian''s eyes lit up when he heard the Knight''s report.
"Try it." ?????The next experiment cannot be done behind the Stormwind City Auction House. Fortunately, the MI7 is not a vegetarian. Soon the group brought the mecha to a nearby secret place. Then the knight manipulated the mecha and began a series of experiments under Varian''s gaze.
Of course, because Duanmu Huai was lazy and did not install long-range weapons on the Knight Mecha, only chainsaw swords and flamethrowers can be used in this Knight Mecha.
But even so, the combat effectiveness shown by this Knight Mecha still shocked Varian.
Its chainsaw sword can easily split the heavy walls of Stormwind City. The ejected flames not only have a large range, but even the stones are completely melted. Varian even specially ordered people to take heavy armor and large shields, but the latter was directly sprayed with flames melted into a pool of iron.
"He said this is used for logging?"
Looking at the red molten iron and broken stone walls in front of him, Varian''s expression was quite wonderful, and Madias, Reginad and others standing beside him were also speechless.
Strictly speaking, this thing can indeed be used for logging, and it is more efficient than ordinary logging yards.
"Does the Inquisition have such mechas?"
Varian turned his head and looked at Madias, who shook his head.
"I have seen some tall warriors wearing heavy armor, but I have not seen such mechas."
Since this thing can only be manipulated by the doll, and the doll cannot perform too complicated tasks, Duanmuhuai''s Inquisition generally does not use Knight Mechas, which is used to assist Titans. After all, the doll''s reaction ability is limited, and it is okay to use it to manipulate a heavy fortress like a Titan, but it is better to guard the night for a single soldier.
“But their logo is the same.”
Needless to say, everyone saw the skull pattern on this mecha - well, if they didn''t know about the Inquisition, they would think it was a sign of a certain undead.
After all, who would use the skull as a sign for normal people?
But after reading the Inquisition Manual, everyone could understand this approach.
"So that adventurer is indeed the person from the Inquisition. Are they here to collect intelligence?"
"I can''t see it at all."
Madias shook his head helplessly. The agents from MI7 watched them for a long time, but found that these people were mainly eating, drinking, having fun and shopping in the market, which was no different from tourists. He also suspected that the other party was deliberately numbing him, so he ordered his subordinates to tighten their nerves and investigate them clearly.
As a result, I was tense and finally found out... Well, I''m here to play.
“Anyway, this is an opportunity for us.”
Varian stared at the mecha in front of him, looking excited. Although most of this mecha has not been understood yet, at least from its performance, a Knight mecha can almost compete with an elite army!
The Storm Kingdom is not calm at the moment, especially the threats such as ogres and trolls in the south still exist. Coupled with the civil strife caused by Onyxia''s previous troubles and the covetous eye of the tribal army, Varian is very nervous. He now desperately hopes to enhance the combat effectiveness of Storm Kingdom.
Not to mention the gate of darkness...
The appearance of the Knight Mecha gave Varian a glimmer of hope.
After the court wizard determined that this was not a magical creation, but a pure mechanical product, Varian immediately became interested.
Since Duanmuhuai can take out such things at will, does that mean...the Inquisition has more of these mechas to deal with?
Not to mention anything else, as long as you can buy about 100 Knight Mechas, the combat effectiveness of the Storm Kingdom will be improved by a leap!
After all, real war is not a game. In the game, players can fight to the death without retreating to the last person.
But in reality, when you witness your companions being burned to death by the blazing flames, or being torn to pieces by a huge chainsaw sword, and the opposite side is a hard-to-break steel mecha, the blow to morale is devastating.
“Madias.”
Thinking of this, Varian made a decision and looked at the head of the MI7 again.
"It seems we are going to send a delegation to the Inquisition and have a closer talk with them."
"This is not a problem, but here..."
“Let them go.”
Varian thought for a while and finally made a decision.
"Let the palace mages open the portal directly and send them to Silitus, no matter what they want to do, at least it has nothing to do with us."
In Varian''s view, at this stage, it is a good choice to establish a good relationship with the mysterious force of the Inquisition. Since that''s the case, he naturally wouldn''t provoke Duanmu Huai. Besides, Silitus is far away in Kalimdo. Even if Duanmu Huai provoked anything there, it would not affect Stormwind City across the sea, right?
Not to mention, Varian has a new goal in his heart now.
Make Storm Kingdom great again!
