Volume 6 Chapter 91 - Opening land access (1/2)
Actually it was worse than chief staff officer Derank’s worries.
This Magic Cannon that Great Magician Mayev said took all the elites of the military magic machine development center three months of hard work and three hundred and forty thousand gold coins to develop, whether it was in terms of attack power or precision, couldn’t compare to the real Magic Cannon.
During the morning testing, this Magic Cannon’s best range was only less than a thousand meters and the cannonball had landed over fifty meters away from the target.
There was no need to compare this to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s Magic Cannon. Even in chief staff officer Derank’s Spirit Turtle Regiment, it would be hard for him to accept.
This kind of unreliable thing, not to mention attacking the enemy, it might be a problem of accidentally attacking their own people.
What filled chief staff officer Derank with despair was that during this practice fire test, the Magic Cannon had actually……exploded!
This powerful military magic machine had actually exploded!
When he was far away from the military magic machine development center, chief staff officer Derank felt a fear in his heart.
If it wasn’t for Great Magician Mayev being by his side who had released a magic barrier to protect everyone, the Magic Cannon’s explosion would have blown him and the surrounding people to pieces.
Moreover, Great Magician Mayev had been very calm about such a shocking thing. He had even told chief staff officer Derank that this was a normal thing, so there was no need to make a fuss.
When chief staff officer Derank asked about this, he learned that since the military magic machine development center had been built, there were over twenty accidents like this. That was why Great Magician Mayev was so calm.
“It’s normal to encounter accidents when researching magic, what is there to be surprised about?”
Thinking of the calm look Great Magician Mayev had when he said this, chief staff officer Derank couldn’t only give a bitter laugh.
He couldn’t deny Great Magician Mayev’s words because he agreed that there would be dangerous accidents when studying something as dangerous as the military magic machines, but this made one thing clear for him. It was that the Sack Kingdom’s current research into the military magic machines were far from being able to compare to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s.
To rely on this military magic machine development center to catch up to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was a fool’s dream.
If they couldn’t catch up to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce in terms of military magic machines, the Sack Kingdom would never be able to stand up again.
This was what chief staff officer Derank was the most worried about.
Chief staff officer Derank deeply knitted his brows as he took the horse carriage back to Nordham City. Looking up to see that it was already close to noon, planned on reporting in at headquarters and checking with the intelligence department, but he suddenly saw a Magic Car motorcade with a familiar flag slowly coming out of the city.
Since the Lampuri Kingdom and the Sack Kingdom had developed diplomatic relations and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce started working with the Sack Kingdom, it wasn’t a strange thing to see Magic Cars in Nordham City.
But this motorcade drew chief staff officer Derank’s attention because the flag was the flag that represented the Frestech Chamber of Commerce!
“These are the representatives from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce? Why would they suddenly come to Nordham City?” This question filled chief staff officer Derank’s mind before he suddenly thought of something.
The Moon Shadow Tribe had worked with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to drive away the Spirit Turtle Regiment’s blockade on the Moon Shadow Tribe’s territory. Although this was not publicized and didn’t create much of a stir in the Sack Kingdom, not even being discussed in the army headquarters, it was impossible that there would be no consequences of this matter at all.
Three days ago, chief staff officer Derank had received news that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would send a representative to the Sack Kingdom and what they would be discussing would be related to the Moon Shadow Tribe’s territory.
Chief staff officer Derank was filled with disbelief when he heard about this.
The Frestech Chamber of Commerce had sent their guards to attack the Sack Kingdom’s regiment and now they were sending a representative, they simply didn’t put the Sack Kingdom in their eyes at all.
But after thinking about it, he felt that it made sense.
If there was no follow up, why would the Frestech Chamber of Commerce make a move?
The Frestech Chamber of Commerce appeared in Nordham City and they were preparing to leave, did that mean the discussions were already over?
What were the results?
Chief staff officer Derank changed his plan to go to the army headquarters and changed the direction of the horse carriage, heading towards the north of Nordham City.
