The cold spring retreated from Morning Stars and the mainland began to enter the scorching summer.

Except for the southernmost provinces of Anstrasse Empire and the Lanzhai Province, which only have autumn and summer, and the Grange Desert, which has a huge temperature difference between morning and evening, the four seasons of the entire continent are quite distinct.

As the weather got hotter, despite the Slan Empire's obstruction, it ultimately failed to prevent the smooth gathering of millions of coalition forces.

In fact, the actual number of the coalition forces was only 1.05 million, and the remaining 150,000 remained on the road forever for various reasons such as fighting or non-combat. This was the result of the Slans doing their best, and the various costs paid were completely unimaginable.

The resistance troops active in the enemy-occupied areas failed to successfully complete their mission, and the coalition forces had enough supply reserves to maintain the army's death to the city of Changguan.

The Tessie, who first arrived at the meeting place, gave a plan to poison households. After plundering the last grain of food from the civilians, the food quota distributed like a charity was not enough to fill everyone's stomachs.

It is hard to imagine that the tragedy of starvation in the southern part of the Slan Empire, which has always been rich.

Although the dragons from the Imperial Army transported supplies, they were still a drop in the bucket. The harsh household management system and the material allocation system made the resistance army, which could no longer be supplied or covered, quickly fell into the dilemma of lack of food and clothing, and had to retreat into the forest and rarely visited places to continue to persist.

Anstrasse's "Fox Hunting" Legion, who is good at fighting in the mountains and forests, took the opportunity to launch an anti-stop killing, and successfully screened out and wiped out most of the Slan Resistance Army in the occupied area.

The unbearable Slanese civilians and a few surviving nobles resisted one after another and were ruthlessly massacred by foreign bandits. No one cares about the lives and deaths of those Slanese.

Only the surrendered former soldiers will show the sad look of a rabbit and a fox. But that is all, because they are also one of the murderers.

The fire broke out in the city gate, which affected the pond fish. The entire southern occupied area of ​​the Slan Empire had a population of 60% in just two months because of this vicious plan. Many villages and towns became completely dead due to the last ration.

As the two rebels and four-nation armies gathered into a coalition, bad news came one after another for the Slan Empire.

The good news is not without it. Relatively speaking, it is not enough to solve the current crisis facing the Slan Empire.

Another air knight unit in the hands of the royal family, the "Shenglong" Legion has successfully trained 43 qualified air knights. As time goes by, more and more air knights will succeed in their training.

Compared with the powerful Dragon Knight, the entry threshold and training difficulty of the fighter Sky Knight are no different.

Dragoon Magic Industry has completed the development of assembly line equipment and tools. It has been sent to the "guillotine" base, and the parts production lines are being launched batch by batch or subcontracted to the Alchemy Alliance Guild.

After research and development by the Alchemy Department, the fixed mass-produced "Shenglong" is different from the prototype. In addition to the engine part without modification, the avionics system has added many electronic systems to replace the original structural machinery, such as long- and short-wave communication stations. The joystick is equipped with a booster, and a small part of the body keel is soaked with special agents. The strength is comparable to steel and the weight is even lighter than that of aluminum alloy.

The most important skin and inner armor are made of blended resin, tempered paper and thin steel plates. They not only maintain mechanical properties, heat, corrosion and elasticity, but also ensure insulation and impact resistance. Even if ordinary heavy armored soldiers step on them, there will be no damage.

The surface of the integrated skin will be vaporized by a laser etching machine to form a shallow layer of spell array foundation pit, which will be outlined by manual filler, then covered with glaze coating and infrared radiation high-temperature grilled glaze, and finally coated and covered.

The spell array etched on the body is integrated into one by multiple local spell arrays. Even if one is destroyed, it will not affect the normal operation of other parts. The elemental attributes of the spell array are mainly wind, earth and shadow systems. The wind system blesses speed, agility and magic shields. The earth system will only be activated during emergency landing and crashes, and use the anti-gravity effect to reduce the impact as much as possible. The shadow system is used for emergency evasion when fighting in close combat and defending long-range attack weapons.

As the energy supply part of the core part, compared with the "Shenglong" in Lin Mo's initial hand, the final design is completely a brand new energy supply system.

The short cylindrical energy plug-in about one foot long and as thick as a bowl mouth is etched with dense spell array runes inside and outside, which is similar to the elemental conversion alchemy device in Lin Mo's hand that converts space-based elemental energy to the silver dragon egg.

The hollow barrel lining can be placed in magic crystals, without choosing shapes, elements, stocks, and purity. As long as it is a magic crystal, fill it into the lining, and then put it in the inner cylinder of the energy plug-in. After inserting it at the energy supply slot behind the cockpit cover of the "Shenglong" mass production machine, it can be inserted and locked with a light twist.

Through the 36 pure gold contacts at the bottom of the plug-in, the energy supply slot and the spell array of the plug-in cooperate with each other, the elemental energy contained in the magic crystal is controlled and converted into an electrical source to continuously supply it to the entire body. In addition, a spare small-power conversion device is also built in the cockpit.

The energy supply system using alchemy and magic crystal technology is not only highly energy density, but also much higher efficiency in converting into electrical and mechanical energy than petrochemical fuels. Therefore, after the finalization, the actual no-load weight of the alchemy version "Shenglong" is much lighter than the original version on Earth, which not only means faster flight speed and cruise distance, but also greater ammunition load.

After the "Shenglong" propeller fighter was successfully finalized after Dragoon's Magic Movement Industry Alchemy and the Mechanical Department, His Majesty Cyril, the Emperor of the Slan Empire, breathed a sigh of relief. The countdown was officially on the verge of another ace in his hand.

"One, two, three, four, five, mining is so hard. After eight hours of digging, the purity is five! roar! ~"

In the largest open-pit mine in the Slan Empire, a group of miners waved their pickaxes in sweat, while looking at the giant dragon whispering not far away in fear.

Boom! ~

After a loud bang, thick smoke rose and gravel collapsed. The giant gold dragon shook its head. It was digging ore into the ore veins without any attention. From time to time, it stuffed an explosive about one foot long and three fingers wide into the gap. It was too lazy to hide from it, and it directly detonated nearby, carrying the explosion shock wave and the blown-off ore indifferently.

Two unlucky miners were already hit on their foreheads by the rocks that had been flying over, and fell to the ground with blood. However, the fierce gold dragon still acted as if it were on its own, exploding the ore veins while digging out ore.

No wonder those human miners unions are so worried that working with the dragon is simply walking a tightrope with their lives. If the mining market had not been soared recently, they would not have fought their lives to wave their pickaxes here day and night.

I don’t know where I got the permission, but the gold dragon also took up the position of a miner. Half of the ore dug belonged to the empire and half of it belonged to him.

If it weren't for such conditions, it wouldn't be interested in coming to the human race's mine to dig the mineral veins. Compared with human race miners, the mining efficiency of the gold dragon is more than thousands of times. It is easy to find the most abundant ore layer and take out the best ore.

The war machine of the Slan Empire was fully activated, and many materials and resources were short of one after another, especially ore.

The metallurgy of an empire is not only related to people's livelihood, but also to military affairs. The metal consumed by consuming one country is simply unimaginable.

In addition to soliciting all the metals that can be found, it is also urgent to increase mining efforts.

Compared with the developed mining industry on earth, the mining methods in this world are still very primitive, and finding mineral veins can only rely on luck.

Even though the Slan Empire had vast territory, there were still only a handful of minerals available for mining, and were basically monopolized by the royal family or the great nobles.

When digging mines deep underground to collect ore, it not only faces the difficulty of excavating hard ores, but also takes into account various safety factors such as ventilation and dust invasion. It is difficult to mine and is also very dangerous. Therefore, most of the mining areas in the Slan Empire are shallow deposits hidden on the surface.

In addition to the mineral deposits mined in the local area, the Slan Empire also needed to import a large amount of metal into the mysterious underground world every year to meet its needs.

On the other hand, because of the mobilization order issued by the Slan royal family and the military headquarters, nearly one million young and middle-aged civilians and a considerable number of noble children in the central, eastern and northern parts of the empire were recruited.

After two months of training, these young men, who were as loose as sand, gradually looked like soldiers. After being trained into forty legions, they began to slowly set out to confront the enemy coalition forces on the southern front of the empire.

All workshops in the Imperial Control Area started working hard, barely ensuring that these new recruits could each have a sword, a pair of light armor and a round shield that could cover most of their bodies.

Compared with those veterans of hundreds of battles, these new recruits are far inferior to those of them, but at this time they can only drive them to the shelves. Just like in the later stages of the battle with the Tessie Empire, they use the battlefield to hone these new recruits into veterans in the shortest time.

The 500,000 Slanese army on the southern front of the Empire soon received support from 800,000 new troops, totaling 1.3 million, and launched a new stage of confrontation with the coalition forces with a total number of 1.05 million. The battle was densely covered with clouds on the front line.

At this time, both the Slan Empire and the countries behind the coalition forces knew that this tragic war was inevitable.

The amount of supplies consumed by more than one million soldiers on both sides consumed by eating horses every day. Since the soldiers had met, it was impossible to return empty-handed.
