739: Chapter 235 Goblin Laboratory’s Latest Research (Part 1)_1 739: Chapter 235 Goblin Laboratory’s Latest Research (Part 1)_1 Elder Guru said, “Indeed.
Recently, we and several top masters of the Dwarf Clan have pleted the research and trials of two projects.
I dare say that both projects will be of great benefit to His Excellency, the Zither Emperor, especially when dealing with the Beastmen.”
“Oh?
Elder Guru, please tell us more about it.
What kind of research is it?” Ye Yinzhu’s curiosity was piqued by the elder.
Elder Guru said, “The two pieces of research are the Portal and Goblin Airships.
From the names, I suppose you would have some idea.”
Everyone looked at each other, taking in a cold breath.
Indeed, one could already sense the greatness of these two researches from their names, especially Ye Yinzhu and Anya who had seen the blueprints of the Goblin Airship.
They all knew that such a man-made flying device could carry people.
If used for a surprise attack, it would doubtlessly be the best choice.
The Beastman Clan has practically no long-ranged attack units.
As long as the Beastman Clan’s air bat teams, the Thunderhawks and Gryphons, can be taken care of, the Goblin Airship could easily fly past fortress defenses.
With pride, Elder Guru said, “These two pieces of research have taken up a lot of energy from our Goblin Laboratory.
But it was all worth it in the end.
It was quite easy for us to perfect the design of the Goblin Airship as it has been around for quite a while.
As for the Portal, that’s a unique and groundbreaking research achievement.
We have finally discovered some secrets.
Even though the Portal can’t be freely adjusted like what the Zither Emperor can do with his Teleportation Crystal, it can provide fixed point-to-point teleportation.
However, the Mana required to create such a Portal is far less than what’s needed for the Teleportation Crystal.
I dare say that His Excellency, the Zither Emperor, could simultaneously support four Portals for several hours without any difficulties, Furthermore, if used properly, our warriors could retreat from the battlefield and return to Qin City any time.”
Silence, the entire meeting room fell into silence.
After a long moment, it was Supreme Elder Wei Ming who reacted first, taking a step towards Elder Guru and shockingly, kissing him on the cheek.
“What the…
what are you doing, you old pervert?” Elder Guru was short and certainly no match for Supreme Elder Wei Ming.
He could only protest verbally in surprise.
Only then did Supreme Elder Wei Ming release Elder Guru petite frame, chiming excitedly, “Guru, my good brother, I’m just too excited.
Don’t worry, despite my old age, my sexual orientation is normal.”
The exchange between the two elders caused uproarious laughter filled the room, lifting everyone’s spirits.
Oliveira couldn’t help but say, “Portals, that’s incredibly powerful.
I can’t believe the Goblin Laboratory managed to develop that.
This time, Yinzhu, I no longer have any doubts about your declaration of war against the Beastmen.”
Ye Yinzhu, arguably the calmest person in the room, raised his hands, signalling everyone to quiet down.
“Wait, Elder Guru, I remember that you said earlier that you came to ask me for something.
These Portals and Goblin Airships shouldn’t have been easy to plete.
So, tell me what you need.”
Ye Yinzhu understood that in this balanced world, what you receive often corresponds to what you give.
The effect of the Portal isn’t something that ordinary materials could successfully produce.
No doubt, there’s a significant amount of technology involved but without the proper materials, it’d be impossible, which was why Elder Guru had e to him.
Elder Guru scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.
“I knew it, Zither Emperor understands me the best.
Yes, I did e to ask for something.
We have already begun the construction of the Goblin Airships, and we can provide ten for this war.
But, the Goblin Airships are currently lacking cores.
The core magic array of each Goblin Airship requires one gram of Krypton Gold.
Otherwise, we would have to constantly supplement the consumption with Crystal Stone, and the flying speed would drastically decrease.
These ten grams of Krypton Gold are indispensable.”
Ye Yinzhu nodded in agreement, “That can be arranged.
No problem.” Most metals were automatically requisitioned by the Dwarf Clan, but the most precious and rare ones were all in Ye Yinzhu’s Sumeru Divine Ring.
Although Krypton Gold is precious, good steel should be used for the blade.
The Goblin Laboratory designed it, and the Dwarf Clan Master forged it.
No matter what was cast, it was the best use of Krypton Gold, and Ye Yinzhu certainly will not be stingy.
Elder Guru looked pleased.
He, of course, knew that His Excellency, the Zither Emperor, has always been generous.
“Also, the Portal requires a lot of materials.
The most precious few include Krypton Gold.
Additionally, I need Silver Dragon Horns and Silver Dragon’s Blood as guide.”
Ye Yinzhu turned to Elder Wei Ming, “Elder, were any Silver Dragons killed in the battle this time?”
Elder Wei Ming nodded and said, “There were three.
Their bodies have been stored in ice.
The Silver Dragons are the most fragile among the three Superior Dragon Clans.
Those few Silver Dragons had poor luck.
They happened to smash into the tips of mountain peaks as they fell from the sky, killing them instantly.
But, because of your relationship with the Silver Dragon Clan, the other Silver Dragons didn’t suffer much injury.”
Ye Yinzhu said, “In that case, these three Silver Dragons will be handed over to Elder Guru and Elder Lucino for joint handling.
However, Elder Guru, please keep this operation secret.
Although the Dragon Clan has pledged their loyalty to Qin City, they are still new additions, and despite the binding of the contracts, I don’t want them to see us utilizing the bodies of their fallen brethren.”
Guru chuckled and said, “Excellency Zither Emperor, rest assured, I will.
This critical task will be conducted amongst our Goblin Tribe and it is not a place that anyone can simply walk into.”
Ye Yinzhu took out Krypton Gold from the Sumeru Divine Ring, estimated the needed portion, and cut a piece to give to Guru.
This Goblin Tribe elder then departed cheerfully.
Ye Yinzhu’s face revealed a faint smile as he said, “With the results from the Goblin Laboratory, it seems that our uping war with the Beastman Clan is more assured.
Zi, Brother Oliveira, Hongyan, prepare our forces.
Ensure sufficient supply for yourselves.
As for the supply lines, can Brother Oliveira and Marshal Martin provide us the necessary support?”
Qin City’s efforts to confront the Beastman Clan was essentially their contribution to the Milan Empire’s military endeavors, hence logistics should naturally be handled by the Milan Empire.
Ye Yinzhu was very clear about this, and even though Qin City was wealthy now, they couldn’t start spending frivolously.
Oliveira said, “No problem.
The supplies of the Northern Legion are abundant enough to support Qin City.
I have already relayed the message up north, and our grandpa is just waiting for our arrival.
As soon as we arrive, the Northern Legion will immediately dispatch two hundred thousand troops to the main battlefield and the Eastern Military Corps.”
Ye Yinzhu asked, “What is the present situation of both forces now that we have entered a ceasefire?”
Oliveira replied, “From the current perspective, the most dangerous place remains the East.
Including the resupply troops, the Eastern Military Corps only has slightly over a hundred thousand troops fortifying the East and confronting the Flore Kingdom.
According to the intelligence we have gathered, Flore Kingdom is mobilizing all its forces, amassing an army of four hundred thousand soldiers along the border.
They could launch an attack at any moment.
Of course, they aren’t aware we have quietly withdrawn back to Qin City.
Given the deterrent from the last encounter, unless pushed by the Landias Empire, the people of Flore wouldn’t dare to act rashly.”
“What about the main battlefield?”
“On the main battlefield, although the Empire is steadily drafting new soldiers to the frontline, Landias and Popon nations have not been idle either.
Their army has always been double the size of ours.
In the present situation where we are on the defensive, we can temporarily ensure safety, but we do not have the strength to counterattack.”
Having heard Oliveira’s words, Ye Yinzhu nodded slightly, pondered for a moment and said, “It seems that ever since the war began, neither side, represented by Landias and Milan respectively, has made substantial progress.
The situation remains in a deadlock.”
Oliveira said, “All thanks to your leadership in the previous expedition to Flore that led Qin City to a great victory.
Otherwise, if the Eastern Front were to collapse, the overall situation would fall into chaos.
Milan would then be besieged on all sides.”
Ye Yinzhu said, “This necessary campaign against the Beastman Clan will shape the entire battlefield.
We will begin preparations tomorrow and set out three days later.
Supreme Elder Wei Ming, I will leave Qin City under your and Sister Anya’s care.
The moment the results from the Goblin Laboratory e out, immediately send the news via the Horned Hawk Knights.
I will hurry back with the Teleportation Formation to set up a portal.
At that point, we will be able to attack or defend as necessary.
Even if Faran es, we will have the strength to fight.”
Wei Ming said, “Don’t worry, all is under control here.
The Dwarf race and the craftsmen are working tirelessly to forge Magic guide cannons.
Given the amount of metal stored in our city, assuming no other weapons are cast, we should be able to produce at least a hundred Magic guide cannons.
If Faran’s army dares to e, they would have to pay a heavy price to penetrate Qin City.”
The development of Qin City proceeded in full swing, and the main army corps started to mobilize.
Weapons, equipment, and supplies were distributed continuously to all the forces.
Standing on the peak of the mountain, Ye Yinzhu quietly savored the cool breeze that swept over him.
Haiyang busied himself sorting out the Zither Emperor’s Twelve Musician Lanes.
Unable to ride Silver Dragons to the Northernmost Wilderness, he decided, after discussing with Anya, to temporarily borrow eleven robust Horned Hawks from the Elf Tribe to serve as their mounts.
Sura was also busy arranging affairs for the Legions of Dragon Knights.
Given that the two major battalion leaders had to leave temporarily, she had to give instructions to their subordinates.
