"boom!"

After the shells fired by Odin’s Hammer hit the city wall, there was a loud noise. A large hole with a diameter of more than 3 meters burst out on the city wall. Dense cracks spread to the surroundings, smoke and dust rose, and rubble shot all over the sky.

The astonishing sight made everyone stunned, and everyone staying in the Crocodile Tooth Fortress was shocked by the huge noise.

However, the city wall did not fall to the ground for the power of Odin's Hammer, it just shook for a while, still standing stubbornly on the edge of the wetland.

"Load the shells!" Commander Snape called out another order.

The two gunners immediately opened the metal box containing the shells, yanked up a shell, stuffed it into the bore of the gun, and closed the breech block.

"Five degrees to the left!" Snape exclaimed, full of breath.

The gunner activated the rune square plate, and the muzzle slowly rotated and deflected 5 degrees to the left.

In the eyes of a group of turtle soldiers, Mr. Snape was very imposing when giving orders. With a saber wave, the thick city wall was blasted out of a big hole, which was extremely awe-inspiring.

But in the eyes of the guards of the island, this guy mixed up quite "miserably".

As the commander of the Artillery Corps, Snape had only a small magical self-propelled gas gun. Compared with the iron torrent of the Armored Corps, this was too pitiful.

Including the pilot, the manpower he can command is actually only 6 people. Compared with the thousands of members of the Armored Corps, this manpower is simply shabby.

Can this be called a "legion"?

Because of this, Snape was ridiculed as a "polished commander" within the Armored Corps.

Many of the team members watched Snape sternly shouting "ready to launch" and "fire", and they couldn't help showing a faint pity in their eyes.

"boom!"

The blast broke through the sky again.

More than 20 meters to the left of the first hole, the shell hit the second big hole.

This section of the city wall, which was more than 60 meters long, could no longer support it. It trembled a few times and crashed in the direction of the Nassau Wetland under the horrified eyes of everyone.

"boom!!"

The ground shook violently, and a huge cloud of smoke rose into the sky. The stones rose into the air and fell in all directions. They flew out more than 400 meters as far away as a rainstorm.

The melon-eating crowds watching the self-propelled gas guns were also tragically affected. Several soldiers were smashed to blood by the gravel, and the oncoming dust made everyone ashes all over, and the scene suddenly became a mess.

On the wall on the other side of the fortress, looking at the rising cloud of smoke and dust, Renault suddenly realized that he seemed to seriously underestimate the effect of Odin's hammer.

Just looking at this scene that seemed like the sky and the earth broke, anyone would be shaken by the gods. The expressions of Moose, Grum, and others were proof. At this moment, they all looked surprised and their mouths were open.

Although the hammer of Odin is not excellent in terms of lethality, it can greatly damage the confidence of the enemy and boost the confidence of its own soldiers.

Imagine if you use Odin’s Hammer to attack the Black Orcs’ town and smash a section of the city wall in one shot, what will happen to the Black Orcs’ army defending in the city?

The whole army will definitely be in chaos, and morale will plummet.

"Moos, maybe we should let the heavy vehicle factories in the territory produce a few more Odin's Hammers to appropriately expand the size of the artillery corps." Renault tapped the bluestone in front of him lightly and said.

"Xiamen, I think it's necessary!" Moose nodded in agreement.

"Then produce 5 more cars and make up a 6-car squadron!" Renault meditated for a moment and made a decision.

At this time, Snape, who was driving out the crowds of onlookers, had no idea that he was about to get rid of the title of "Polish Commander.

When Lanster returned from the town of Chaka, he brought back a piece of bad news that frightened Renault.

"What?" Renault said with a deep face, "There was a fire in the warehouse in the barracks, and thirteen magic air guns were lost?"

"Yes, under the crown." Lanster lowered his head and replied, "In addition to air guns, a lot of materials were burned, including more than 2,000 military uniforms, more than 160 tons of food, more than 1,800 sets of weapon armor, and 100 boxes of bullets... "

Despite the heavy losses, Renault did not care about the loss of other materials.

The nobles relied on this army more and more after the Legion of the Roses continued to fight, and no matter how great the loss, the nobles would honestly pay the bill.

But the magic air gun was different, he smelled conspiracy from this incident.

"I think this is deliberate arson. The real purpose of the arsonists should be to steal the magic air gun and crack the air gun technology." Renault sighed and said, "I had expected that this day would come sooner or later."

He looked at Lanster again and asked:

"So, are there any casualties?"

"There were no casualties." Lanster shook his head quickly, and then his expression became a little strange, "However, Lord Kenneth is missing."

"According to the soldiers, when the warehouse was on fire, His Excellency Kenneth rushed into the fire scene alone and never came out. Later, after the fire was extinguished, they did not find the body of His Excellency Kenneth."

"Many people say that Lord Kenneth may have been burnt to ashes..."

Renault sneered:

"This is something someone made up to fool fools. How could an extraordinary earth-type person be burned to ashes?"

Lanster added:

"I heard that the lord of Kenneth, Earl Weaver was very angry. He has ordered the arrest of Kenneth's family, but when the Earl personally took the people, he found that Kenneth's family had escaped."

"In addition, Earl Weaver has now arrived in Chaka Town, ready to plead guilty to the crown."

Moose interjected:

"Is it something Kenneth arranged for arson? He himself took the opportunity to enter the warehouse and steal the air gun. He is an extraordinary earth type and can quietly dig a tunnel and leave."

This sentence immediately sparked a controversy.

"I don't rule out this possibility, but I always feel that it is too stupid to do this. I have had contact with Kenneth, and this guy doesn't look like an idiot." Grumm was the first to object.

"Then how to explain the family's escape in advance?" Moose asked.

"If someone blames Kenneth, they can kill Kenneth's family in advance." Gulum said.

"I agree with Your Excellency Moose, as long as the benefits are large enough, Kenneth has sufficient motivation to do this." Reiter supported Moose.

...

Several people argued for a while, and no one could persuade anyone, but the two sides reached an agreement on one point of view, that is, behind the arson case, there must be a messenger.

"I think the royal family is the most suspicious. We killed Prince El Fallon, and the royal family hates us the most." Grum said.

"Not necessarily, the royal family is not stupid. The black orcs are about to invade. If we did not resist the army of black orcs, the entire Thousand Lakes Kingdom would soon fall. I don't think the royal family would choose to turn their faces with us at this time." opinion.

"I think……"

A new round of controversy broke out.

At this moment, Renault spoke suddenly, and as soon as he spoke, the others quieted down.

"Is it possible that the messenger behind the scenes comes from the Xinghai Continent? Or is it implicated in foreign nobles?"

As soon as this remark came out, Moose and others suddenly realized that they all agreed.

"Mian, your speculation is very reasonable."

"Xiamen, you are right!"

This is the most reasonable explanation.

Now the Thousand Lake Kingdom has to look at Renault's face and act, even if the royal family covets the magic air gun, they will definitely not provoke him.

Renault smiled slightly and said:

"Behind the scenes, the messenger can't do it by himself. They must have an internal response. I guess this internal response must be a nobleman who knows the Rose Legion."

"If I'm right, Nei Ying is likely to plan to abandon the fief and move his family to Xinghai Continent, so..."

At this point, his voice chilled.

"Next, we have to do two things."

"The first thing is to ask the Haichao Chamber of Commerce to activate all the cooperative chambers of commerce to find out which of the nobles in the area around Copernicus is planning to leave the Thousand Lake Kingdom in the near future.

"The second thing is, once you find the insider who betrays the Rose Legion, Gollum, you will immediately lead the Alpha Squad to carry out the capture mission while the opponent is going to sea."

The "Alpha Squad" that Renault referred to was the first special force established by the Sea Tide Leader. Its members were all awakened, and there were no ordinary people. Grum was the captain of the squad.

They are not only proficient in magic gun shooting, bow and crossbow shooting, but also good at cold weapon combat and hand-to-hand combat, and they are both superb water and have very comprehensive abilities.

The equipment of the team members are all specially designed high-level equipment. In the manufacturing process, a large amount of materials obtained from powerful beasts are used. Even Renault himself has personally participated in the design and manufacture of some equipment. Each piece of equipment is a fine product. In the boutique.

Taking diving tights as an example, its manufacturing materials even include the fins of the beast "butterfly fish" (see Chapter 315). This fin has a magical characteristic. When water flows through the surface of the fin, it will separate automatically.

The magicians cut the fins into slender strips of different lengths. When using Nima glue to make the tights, the strips are buried in the mold first to form a whole with the tights. The final product is "Magic fish tights."

When testing the magic fish tights, Team Alpha was surprised to find that the swimming speed was more than three times faster.

When they were swimming in the water, they actually had a wonderful illusion of swimming in the air. This is the abnormality after the water resistance is greatly reduced.

If you carry the "Magic Underwater Propeller", the maximum speed unexpectedly exceeds 75 km/h. When converted into a speed of 21 m/s per second, the speed is ridiculously fast. This is simply underwater drag racing.

This well-built Alpha squad is one of Renault's trump cards.

Ruiz Town.

Arrietty walked through the dirty narrow streets with two guards.

She wore a shabby leather armor, a common sunhat made of vines, and a backpack and weapons on her back. This outfit was exactly the same as the mercenaries who rushed back and forth between towns and cities all the year round.

The blazing sun at noon roasted all kinds of domestic garbage all over the ground, as well as feces in hidden corners, flies and dust flying around, high temperature caused bacteria to multiply extremely rapidly, and a large number of microorganisms desperately decomposed garbage and also corrupted The breath is in the air.

To sum it up in one sentence, it is smelly on the street.

All the civilians living in this small town actually live in a huge garbage dump.

This is a typical feature of all towns in this era.

Therefore, Arrietty had to tightly cover her mouth and nose with a piece of linen, but she still smelled a faint smell, which made her frown tightly.

The cloth towel also concealed her exquisite appearance, making her look less eye-catching, but a caring person can still see from the exposed pair of eyes that this is an outstanding beauty.

After seeing the sign of the Redwood Leaf Chamber of Commerce, Arrietty let out a sigh of relief, and couldn't help speeding up her pace.

At this moment, she just wanted to purchase the necessary supplies as soon as possible, and then immediately leave this **** town.

Just approaching the gate of the Chamber of Commerce, Arrietty heard the noise of bargaining.

"...Hey, man, this is just a pair of ordinary scissors. You dare to call the price of 60 copper nars. This is a bit too expensive, right?"

"Mrs. Martha, these are not ordinary scissors. Have you seen the pattern here? This is the logo of the Haichao Chamber of Commerce. I think you should know the Haichao Chamber of Commerce?"

"All the goods of the Haichao Chamber of Commerce are of the best quality in the world. Don't you want to have a pair of scissors with the best quality? These scissors are very sharp, and even iron plates can be cut easily. Believe me, as long as After buying it, within ten years, you don’t need to buy a second pair of scissors..."

...

"Sir, I'm very sorry, the last batch of salted fish purchased by the Chamber of Commerce has been sold out. They are so popular. Our Sequoia Chamber of Commerce is stepping up purchases. Please come back in three days..."

"...No, no, this lady, the lowest price can only be 136 copper nars, no less, you know, this is Haichao brand soap, you can smell it, how wonderful it smells... "

"If you use it to wash your hands or clothes, your hands and clothes will become fragrant. I think it's worth the price..."

In these voices, the words "Haichao Chamber of Commerce" frequently appeared. Obviously, the products of Haichao Chamber of Commerce are very popular among civilians.

Unexpectedly, Renault’s goods are all sold in this remote town...

When I came here last month, I haven’t heard of any Haichao brand products...

Ali Eddie thought silently.

She turned her head and greeted the two guards, who squeezed into the bustling crowd.

As soon as she stepped into the door, Arrietty noticed a noticeable change.

The hall is no longer the same as before, everything is arranged in a disorderly manner, and the guys are running around in a hurry, and there is chaos everywhere.

At this time, there are many brand-new counters in the lobby. Different types of goods are piled up behind the counters and arranged neatly. A sign is hung above each counter with the pattern of the goods painted on it and written next to it. The name of the merchandise, and there is a buddy standing at the counter.

This is the most typical Haichao Chamber of Commerce style.

There is no doubt that this Redwood Leaf Chamber of Commerce completely imitated the practice of the Haichao Chamber of Commerce.

The corners of Arrietty's mouth curled up, and an ordinary but charming face appeared in her mind.

She glanced around and found the food counter, and quickly walked past the crowd. Then she winked at a guard.

The guard walked a little bit, stepped forward and said gruffly:

"Man, I want 12 bags of flour!"

Hearing this huge number, the sweaty guy was taken aback, but he quickly quoted the price.

"This gentleman, the total price is 132 silver nar..."

"Hey, listen, I purchased a very large quantity, you should give me a reasonable discount..."

Arrietty looked around boredly while listening to the bargaining between the guard and the buddy.

At this moment, she suddenly heard a burst of excited conversation.

"...I heard that the Rose Legion killed tens of thousands of black orcs and successfully recovered the Crocodile Tooth Fortress. Oh, the Rose Legion is so powerful..."

"Yeah, I think as long as the Rose Legion is there, the **** black **** will never be able to cross the Nassau Wetlands..."

Allietty was shocked.

She stayed in a small mountain village for a month, but she didn't expect such a big event to happen.

Crocodile Tooth Fortress was recovered?

What's the matter with the Legion of Roses?

She couldn't help but listen to the other party's discussion. The next moment, she heard an extremely explosive news.

"I heard that the commander of the Legion of Roses, the Miss Steel Rose, is the granddaughter of the late Duke of Thunder Eagle, which is also the famous ‘Flower of the North’..."

Allietty was shocked, she couldn't believe her ears.

what?

Am I the Steel Rose?

When did I become the commander of the Rose Legion?
