Volume 6 Chapter 90 - Shocking difference (1/2)

Chief staff officer Derank was thinking about this question as the Spirit Turtle Regiment retreated back into the Sack Kingdom. Then he was called back to the Sack Kingdom’s capital, Nordham City.

Although the Spirit Turtle Regiment had been defeated and were forced to retreat, they weren’t punished at all by the army headquarters.

The first reason was that the place that the Spirit Turtle Regiment built their fortifications on was in the land the Sack Kingdom had given the Moon Shadow Tribe. They were blocking off the Moon Shadow Tribe which already meant that they were in the wrong.

This time the Moon Shadow Tribe worked with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guards to drive them out, at least there was no question in terms of justification. The Sack Kingdom couldn’t accuse this and naturally they couldn’t punish the Spirit Turtle Regiment because of this.

The second reason was the most important reason. It was that when the Sack Kingdom army headquarters had the Spirit Turtle Regiment stop the Moon Shadow Tribe, they didn’t have any hope that the Spirit Turtle Regiment would be able to resist the attack of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guards.

In the southwest countries of the continent, there was already a consensus that they couldn’t fight against the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guards.

So the Spirit Turtle Regiment being defeated by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guards was not something that should be punished, it was something that they had already expected.

The reason why the army headquarters summoned chief staff officer Derank was mainly to obtain first hand information from chief staff officer Derank on the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guards.

So after chief staff officer Derank was called back to Nordhamn City, other than making some military reports, most of the time he went to the military magic machine development center the army headquarters and magic research department had set upt together outside the city. He was to provide his frontline information and work with the development center.

Today was the fifth day after chief staff officer Derank had returned to Nordham City. He woke up early and after having breakfast, he took his horse carriage as usual to the military magic machine development center thirty kilometers northwest outside Nordham City.

This development center was in a giant valley between five mountains. The surrounding area was fenced off and it was heavily guarded.

Even if it was chief staff officer Derank, he had to go through many checkpoints before being allowed to enter.

But after truly entering this place, it was like being in another world.

Countless strange looking magic machines moved around the development center, which was hard for people to take it all in.

These magic machines were developed by the magicians of the military magic machine development center. They were inspired by the various magic machines from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and developed by them.

The most conspicuous thing was the four wheeled copied Magic Car, which was running around the base, moving very fast.

Based on the appearance, this copied Magic Car didn’t seem that different from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s Magic Car, which made chief staff officer Duran mistake it on the first day.

But in the following days, he was very clear that although this copied Magic Car seemed like it could run, it was only a support on four wheels. It couldn’t hold anything and was just an empty flower vase.

Moreover, the Magic Engine that was the core of this copied Magic Car was bought from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. Even the most basic four wheels were bought from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

To put it simply, this copied Magic Car had all its components come from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, the Sack Kingdom’s military magic machine development center had just accounted for the large parts of it. In fact, the iron work done on it couldn’t even compare.

Moreover, even if there was an iron plate, it was made from normally refined iron. This meant that the flexibility and the toughness of the iron couldn’t compare to the Magic Cars of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

Then adding in the fact that the work of the blacksmiths weren’t as precise, there were only three or four out of ten finished works that could be assembled.

This caused the cost of production to soar and was even several times more expensive than buying a Magic Car from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

So while the military magic machine development center focused on some household magic machines at first, since there was a lack of funding from the kingdom’s finance department, they focused purely on developing military magic machines.

But even if they focused all their funding and manpower on the military magic machines, the results were as they wanted……

When thinking of what he saw over the past few days at the military magic machine development center, chief staff officer Derank shook his head and gave a sigh deep down.

“Chief staff officer Derank, good morning. Great Magician Mayev is waiting for you.” A researcher in magician robes happened to pass by and greeted chief staff officer Derank.
