Author: Half-wounded but not broken

When Pei Renli received two uninvited messengers in Demon King City——

At the same time, the Tula Republic front line.

Although it has entered autumn, due to its latitude close to the equator, most areas of the Republic of Tula do not experience snow all year round, and crops can be grown all year round.

In addition, the Republic of Tula has a large area of ​​land suitable for farming, and it is not difficult to understand why they use a large amount of grain to make wine.

This season happened to usher in a bumper harvest, and the earth once again brought gifts to the hard-working farmers, but unlike the joy of previous bumper harvests, the farmers were not very happy.

Because there was a war on the front line, the collection of food became extremely heavy. Many farmers did not even have enough to eat after leaving seeds.

As for the favorite wine of the people of the Republic of Tula?

There is not much food left, so how can we have enough food to make wine?

Moreover, after the harvest, they would be taken away immediately to build forts, transport supplies and other tasks. Some people were taken away by soldiers and never came back.

High pressure, high taxes and high corvee have caused people to complain. The object of their complaints may be this war that should not have happened, or the resistance organization that initiated the war. Of course, most of them are the officials above them.

In fact, this is not only the case in the Republic of Tula, but also under the rule of a circle of resistance organizations around it.

Both sides are desperately preparing for war, and supplies will not fall from the sky. In addition to spending money to purchase them from abroad, they can only continue to squeeze the people.

After three years of war, the entire area south of the Supreme Mountains is in a state of deprivation and social dissatisfaction.

Doesn't anyone see that continuing will only lead to destruction?

Of course there is.

The leaders of the resistance organization have actually fought to the point where they no longer want to fight. Everyone knows that it is impossible to completely eliminate the Republic of Tula, because if there is this opportunity, the countries that are still assisting them will definitely turn against them.

.

The demands of the resistance organization have actually been met. As long as the war stops, they can govern the territory according to their own ideas.

But his soldiers will not do it.

Basically, these people were once slaves, and they have long been at odds with the Republic of Tula. Once the leaders of the resistance organization decide what they want to talk about without fighting, they will mutiny on the spot.

This is equivalent to riding a tiger with difficulty.

The top brass in the Republic of Tula also feel that the resistance organizations are just a bunch of rags. As long as we launch an offensive, everything will be fine. There is no intention of peace talks at all.

Countless supplies have been transported to the front line, and soldiers are rapidly gathering. At this point, their strategic intentions have been clearly stated.

The rebels have built defense lines one after another, preparing to face the ferocious tsunami-like attack from the Republic of Tula.

Both sides are in a tense situation, and a war will break out in the near future. The reason why they are not fighting now is simply because the supplies and soldiers are not fully in place yet.

However, the wise people who realized that continuing to fight would only destroy the map had little real power in the parliament and could not stop this war that would drag the entire region into destruction.

In this case, it is not difficult to guess what choice they will make.

The large number of troop mobilizations left the capital city of Semiol empty of defenses. Years of fighting also left the once bustling shops empty.

But secretly, information is being compiled one by one, orders and instructions are being issued quietly, and its tentacles have even spread to the front lines.

Either for the country or for themselves, insightful people who tried to prevent Parliament from continuing to initiate war secretly united.

This script has only one direction, and that is a coup.

In this coup, the person who played a very key role was Semiol, who had the most distinguished surname in the Republic of Tula.

Orona Semiol.

Her uncle, Jarn Semiol, had gone crazy under the pressure caused by the consecutive defeats, and put all the strength of the entire family into this large-scale attack.

But Olona knows very well that this is just dragging the entire family to die with the Republic of Tula. Even if it succeeds, they will continue to face the endless war.

Orona didn't care what happened to the country, but the family that gave birth to her couldn't just die. With the prospect of being dragged away by her crazy uncle, the patriarch, Orona decided that she might as well start over.

The day of the coup is getting closer and closer. They are waiting for a suitable opportunity, waiting for the capital to have the least troops and the most empty defenses, and waiting for all the heads in the parliament who need to be eliminated to gather together for a meeting. That will be the coup.

the best time.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Time is like a train that never looks back. No matter you feel it is fast or slow, it always keeps moving forward.

When the first snowflake falls over the Magic University, winter has officially entered.

The snow this year came much later than in previous years. Pedestrians on the road looked up at the sky and sighed that it had finally snowed.

Perrenli is busy in his villa at the Magic University.

A warm flame has been lit in the fireplace in the living room, and the water bottle wrapped in fur as an insulation layer is filled with the best batch of coffee in the sea of ​​trees this year.

Pei Renli did not enjoy the warmth and leisure in the living room, but was busy up and down with a hammer, screwdriver and other tools, his hands full of oil.

The object he was busy with was a tall iron golem placed in the living room.

This thing is about three meters tall, similar to the height of the Iron Golem, but different from the Iron Golem, it looks like it has a normal body proportions, not like the Iron Golem, which looks short and fat for the sake of stability.

The proportions make it look slender.

The overall appearance is like a set of tall and sophisticated full-body plate armor, except that it is almost big enough for a giant to wear, rather than for humanoids.

But in a sense, it is indeed wearable.

Pei Renli touched the sweat on his forehead, leaving a dazzling oil stain, threw away the hammer and pressed the switch hidden under the armor plate.

With the sound of hydraulic activity, the armor plate on the chest of the tall golem in front of you opened, and layers of internal structures flashing with cold light bloomed like buds on both sides. You will see that the inside of this thing looks like

It is a hollow groove, not a solid mechanical structure like the iron golem.

Pei Renli stepped up, turned around, leaned into the groove, and stretched out his hands and feet.

Then the armor plate and mechanical structure that had just been opened were re-closed, and the visor on the head made a subtle running sound and lit up with a V-shaped blue light.

"How's it going? Are the movements still smooth?"

"Perfect, Your Majesty."

Perrenli controlled this thing and walked a few steps in the living room. Ravna, who was standing by the wall, immediately expressed that there was no problem.

"Well...the next step is to adjust the storage and weapon systems."

Returning to the original position, the armor plate on the chest opened again, and Pei Renli jumped out.

This is what Eve said before, the crystal ball has been shipped again, it can be simply regarded as a power armor or a miniaturized Gundam.

In the special terminology of alchemists, its official name is magic armor, a special alchemical machine that almost no one knows how to make.

The reason why no one will do it now is mainly because it is not cost-effective.

Magical armor is mainly used by a special type of spellcaster called a puppet master, who controls puppets to fight through threads composed of magical power.

The various activity instructions of the magic armor were initially controlled through magic threads. In essence, the puppet master was used as an alchemy core and stuffed into the golem.

However, with the subsequent advancement of magic technology and the successful development of methods for making alchemy cores, the method of directly using humans to control puppets has become outdated, and the price/performance ratio is far inferior to automated golems and golems.

The Puppet Masters are not willing to be thrown into the garbage heap of history. They combined the latest alchemy to create this kind of magic armor that has its own energy, has a variety of weapons and is quite reliable in defense.

As long as a powerful spellcaster sits in, his melee ability will be comparable to that of a combat worker of the same level.

——Then they were completely eliminated.

After all, if you want melee combat capabilities, you can just use the 'Perfect Warrior' or 'Tamson Transformation' from the School of Transformation. There is no need to go through such a big mess.

What's more, the cost of the magic armor is enough to give even those who are not short of money a heart attack on the spot. Every part of its body is made of expensive rare metals, without exception, but it only has the melee capabilities of a warrior of the same level.

This kind of behavior of taking off your pants and farting and paying a lot of money has made the puppet master completely disappear in the long river of history.

But there is one thing to say, you will definitely lose money if you do it yourself, but if you pick up a set of magic armor for free, it is indeed quite okay.

Take Pei Renli's suit as an example. Its outermost armor is made of fine gold, and it's actually not an alloy, but extremely pure fine gold.

This armor plate alone is enough to give Pei Renli a defensive power comparable to that of a real dragon.

The internal structure uses mithril, which in addition to ensuring sturdiness, also ensures magic conductivity. The flexible arm and finger design allows the user to use spells that do not require material components while wearing magic armor.

At the same time, this set of magic armor also comes with its own weapons and storage capabilities.

When it is put away, it is just a spherical pendant. The body is stored in the demiplane. It can be activated at will when needed. It can be worn directly on the body like a Kamen Rider transformed without any need.

It's so troublesome to open the cockpit and get in.

Even among magic armors, this thing is the most luxurious top-notch item. In terms of value, it is not weaker than any epic magic item.

However, this thing is not without its shortcomings.

“It’s really troublesome to maintain.”

"But with its protection, you're safer."

Yes, the biggest disadvantage is that maintenance is super troublesome.

Perhaps this set of armor has not been used for a long time. When Pei Renli put it on for the first time, he felt like he was playing an online game with extremely high latency, and it was difficult to walk.

And because he didn’t have the matching design drawings on hand, Pei Renli had to quickly draw and mark a few points of disassembly for maintenance, so as not to be unable to put it back together after disassembly.

After spending a lot of time and energy, this set of magic armor was finally maintained to a usable standard, but the weapon system still needs to be maintained, and it has not yet returned to its peak condition.
