Chapter 492 Dark Elf Student
In Tang En's heart, the importance of the Black Stone Cave is even less than that of Ellington.
Because this will be a heavy industrial base.
All kinds of arms and equipment that are inconvenient to study openly will be put here for research. In the early days, when there was no external aid, the only people who could become researchers here were dark elves and red stone dwarves. However, before that, let Barrod The signed confidentiality contract is one of the prerequisites, because everything in the Black Stone Cave must be kept secret.
On the other hand, the dark elves are easy to say. With the will of the Goddess of Eternal Darkness, it is impossible for them to dare to betray Tang En.
While lifting up his pants, Tang En said to Hailey: "Determine the first batch of personnel as soon as possible. I will arrange a place in Ellington for your people to study in the institute for a period of time, and then they will return here to take charge of the overall situation."
Hailey was wrapped in a blanket, her face flushed, and she nodded with a giggle: "I understand, don't worry, I will do my best for you."
Seeing her look like this, Tang En's whole face fell down - he felt more and more like he was selling himself out.
Due to their long lifespan, most of the dark elves have very good magical abilities. After simple learning and training, after they have mastered the processing skills and operating theories of magic machinery, they can take charge of themselves. Then Tang En can try to Let them make some simple things, and at the same time let them get used to the use of various processing machines.
After ordinary weapons and equipment can be processed smoothly, complex equipment can be put into production. At that time, the Datang Military Factory will be officially established.
After notifying Decarios to light the furnace, Tang En checked the ventilation and water source of the Black Stone Cave again, and only left after confirming that there were no problems here.
Perhaps due to Tang En's hard work, Hailey brought a group of dark elves to Ellington the next day.
Fortunately, the residents of Ellington have long been accustomed to the appearance of various alien races. After the dark elves with pale and delicate skin appeared, those people did not react yet and subconsciously regarded them as forest elves and smiled at them.
After the dark elves who were accustomed to the underground world came to Ellington, the first discomfort they encountered was the strong light - the light of Lumbica was too bright and dazzling for them, and their almost degraded red eyes could not open. , sore and crying.
Hela had an idea, and a layer of black mist wrapped around her body, blocking most of the bright light. Seeing this, other elves followed suit, and only then could they see the surrounding environment clearly.
Maintaining the spell all the time was obviously not the best choice, but Tang En had already prepared for this. When Hela and the others arrived at the institute, the first thing that appeared in front of them were the exquisite black sunglasses designed and made by Tang En.
The dark elves, who had never seen sunglasses before, were naturally very curious. After they put them on, they immediately fell in love with these sunglasses that could block strong light.
Next to him, Tang En rubbed his chin. He always felt that if these dark elves were paired with black suits, they would be like The Matrix.
The sunglasses are made of black crystal. The reason is still because Ellington cannot find pure silicon-that is, silica sand. He cannot make glass, so he can only use expensive crystal.
Forest Elf Pamela and the others are very curious about these dark elves from the underground and have been looking at them. In the elven records, there are very few records about the dark elves in the underground world. This is a very important contact.
"Edgar is the logistics manager of the institute and is responsible for the management and dispatch of logistics materials."
"Pamela is the magic technical advisor here, and Ilia and the rune dwarf Groka are the executors."
When the dark elves saw Ilia, they all suppressed the smiles on their faces and greeted her very solemnly. The little girl was so frightened that she shrank directly behind Tang En - she had no memory of when the goddess' soul was awakened.
"Nokia is the technical director, leading the dwarf engineering team to be responsible for the integration of various engineering technologies and magic modification technology, as well as the technical support of the dwarf kingdom."
"Brian is the director of the engineering department and leads his dwarves to be responsible for the design and production of molds for various parts, as well as the development of special alloys."
After briefly introducing the current staff structure of researchers, Tang En said to Hailey: "I have already told them that you can arrange your own studies in a short period of time. If you have no clue, just ask Pamela and she will make a decision. The most suitable arrangement.”
Pamela said with a smile: "We currently have two studies, one is the research on the magic mine cart, and the other is the disassembly and reproduction of the magic pistol. You can choose to watch and learn by yourself, but I suggest You choose the magic mine cart. This research work has just begun, and it is relatively basic. You can understand the design principles and main theoretical basis of the magic machine."
Tang En nodded secretly. He was worthy of being an elite scholar selected by Isally and suitable to be an educator. He almost immediately grasped the key points of the training.
"Then it's up to you."
Hailey nodded and agreed for the time being. She was just the vanguard. After Queen Laura finished handling the matters at hand and handed over the power to Laura again, she would come over in person. Then they would all listen to Laura of.
"Then let's get started."
Pamela nodded, and the group of people dispersed and returned to their respective research rooms. The dark elves followed her and entered the research workshop of the mana mine cart.
Tang En originally wanted to follow up and explain, but then Fiona found him and dragged him back to the study of the Lord's Mansion.
"The news is coming!"
Fiona said very excitedly: "Lord Nitro has issued a public declaration! He supports Ellington's independence, refuses to accept Gilad's rule, and claims to dig out the truth!"
"oh?"
Tang En raised his eyebrows: "Has Alex learned about it already?"
Alleria next to her nodded: "Yes! Those spies must have used magic letters. Almost as soon as Nitro made his public declaration, Alex already had news."
She pointed to several secret letters on the table and said: "This is the message left by my informant in Arinks. It was just sent by Ms. Hilton."
"What's the situation now? How did Gilad react?"
"There is nothing my informant can do inside the palace."
Alleria shook her head, her face a little gloomy: "Although I can't see it, I can roughly guess that Grandpa Nitro chose to support Ellington and refused to accept his rule. It must be a big deal for him. Strike - Taris's mithril, adamantine and other rich magic mineral veins are very important strategic resources, and he cannot let them go."
Tang En frowned: "If Taris's strategic position is so important and it is very close to Yalinx, in other words, Gilad will probably choose to attack Taris first at this time?"
Alleria pointed to a simple map sold by Galian and said: "It is possible. After all, in his eyes, Ellington is just a small earldom, which is not enough to be used as evidence. To the west of Taris is the Trace of the Holy Sword. The largest empire's Third Army is there, and the straight-line distance from Alyinx to the south is only six days' drive."
"If Gilad really chooses Taris, he can launch a blitzkrieg against Taris within a week. If he attacks with all his strength, he can even capture the entire territory of Taris within half a month!"
After a pause, Alleria said with a strange expression: "Of course, the premise is that Sir Aubrey's Imperial First Army and Sir Adrian's Imperial Second Army both cooperate with Gilad's actions."
The Empire's First and Second Legions are small elite legions, not large in size, but they are all elites.
The First Legion of the Empire stationed in the military zone outside the city of Alyinx is known as the Knights of the Sword of the Kingdom. It has only a thousand people, but they are all composed of the most loyal and elite warriors of the Apocalypse. They are the weakest. The members are all at least Silver-level Apocalypse, truly elites worthy of the name.
The members of the Empire's Second Legion include the Imperial Guard and the Royal Guards. The number of members is close to 5,000. Its members are also composed of Apocalypse. However, the standard will be relaxed to the Black Iron level. Even so, they are one for a hundred. elite warriors.
On the other hand, the Third Army of the Empire has the largest number of people, reaching 30,000. The entire Holy Sword Trace is their warriors, but their average strength is the lowest, because the warriors also include ordinary soldiers, black iron-level Apocalypse, as long as If you have the ability to read and write, are willing to join the army, and show loyalty, you can become a centurion.
This step change in combat power is also inseparable from the special environment of Purandar. Numbers have almost no meaning in the face of absolute power. High-end combat power is the decisive factor that determines the direction of the battle.
"How are they doing now?"
"He hasn't shown up yet. The letter said that they have been investigating Yalinx for the past two days. Since Gilad's coronation, the number of missing people in Yalinx has increased a lot. The guard has raised the alert level, but they still haven't caught him. Get a clue."
Alleria looked at Tang En: "Do you remember the information that Mr. Aubrey sent before? Frank used the power of darkness and needed to devour life. Now Gilad looks very similar to him."
Gilad and Frank are of course similar. Although the powers of Sonnerson and Marcus are different, they are essentially the power corrupted by the breath of chaos. After ingesting the breath of chaos, the body will continue to lose life and must devour others. Only then can human life be maintained.
That's what happened to Girard at the moment.
"How dare he! Why doesn't he surrender to me!?"
The furious Gilad crushed the fair neck of the maid next to him and roared: "He is just a lord! And I! I am the king! Taris must accept rule!"
After roaring, the panting Gilad roughly inserted his right hand into the maid's chest, grabbed her heart and pulled it out, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, while the remaining life force in the maid's body quickly penetrated into his body.
"Those who do not surrender have no meaning of existence and convey orders..."
Absorbing the life force, Gilad finally calmed down, and the bulging blood vessels on his face recovered again. His voice was as cold as the cold wind: "I want to crush Taris."
