My Endless Life.

Chapter 60 Reasons for Defeat

Amy told Li Qi that she had a brother and a sister.

My brother is currently acting as king, carrying out political affairs on behalf of the old king who is ill and has difficulty moving.

My elder sister is in charge of the military, is the marshal of the military, and is also the executor of the current war against the Principality of Uno.

According to Amy, the idea of ​​joining forces with Farol to attack Uno was most likely proposed by her sister Ilona.

From what Amy said, Li Qi could judge that Ilona should be a very domineering person, or a very tough person.

She must be a hardcore radical on England's side.

Amy even guessed that the people sent to assassinate Amy this time were most likely Ilona's men.

As for Ilona herself, according to Amy, Ilona should not have any intention of fighting against her own family.

Of course, this is just Amy's personal opinion, and no one knows the truth at the moment.

Li Qi didn't care about these. He just thought about the news about the second princess that he heard from Amy to decide whether he should meet the second princess.

The conclusion is that if possible, try not to meet. After all, God knows whether the English marshal will find out that something is wrong with Li Qi.

Thinking of this, Li Qi stood up and said to Qiao:
"Since the professor is busy, I'll come back later..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the second princess's voice coming from the room again:

"Professor Drien! That's all I have to say. Think about it carefully! I'll come back tomorrow!"

After saying that, the door of the alchemy room was suddenly opened, and a woman with long blue hair and wearing a white military uniform walked out.

The woman is very tall, especially when she wears high-heeled boots, her height is almost close to 1.8 meters.

Her appearance is somewhat similar to Amy's, but softer than Amy's. However, the indifference on her face ruins her gentle appearance.

Li Qi and Qiao looked at her at the same time, and the woman also saw them.

Her eyes swept across the two of them, then moved away without stopping, leaving the room with crisp footsteps.

Li Qi then exchanged a glance with Joe and looked towards the alchemy room with its door wide open.

Then there was a crackling sound of something being smashed.

wow-

"asshole!!!"

Derian angrily swept away everything on his laboratory table and slammed the table in anger.

Seeing this, Qiao asked worriedly:

"Teacher, are you okay?"

"Do I look okay?!"

Derian turned around and yelled at Joe. He pointed in the direction where the second princess Ilona had just left and said angrily:

"Do you know what she asked me to do just now? She asked me to imitate the evil tool made by Uno! This is a defilement of magic! Defilement!!"

Drion yelled.

Joe also frowned when he heard this. He asked Derien in surprise:
"Teacher, why did the Second Princess suddenly change her mind?"

You know, one of the most crucial reasons why England declared war on Uno was that they would not allow Uno to create "weapons" that defiled magic.

But now the second princess Ilona wants Derian to help her research the "evil weapon"?
It's only been a few days since the war started, why did you suddenly change your mind?
Joe didn't understand.

But when Derian heard Joe's question, he was stunned. He looked at Joe blankly, and finally slumped down in the chair, sighing.

Qiao was very surprised: "Teacher?"

Derian waved his hand at Joe and said:
"The reason why the Second Princess changed her mind... is because we lost."

"The White Rock Strait incident? Didn't we just lose once?"

Joe didn't understand even more.

He read in the newspaper that although England lost the war, it was only temporary.

A temporary failure does not mean a permanent failure. They firmly believe that England will eventually win the final victory and completely defeat the evil Uno.

That's what the newspaper said. Deren laughed bitterly.
"We lost once? According to the Second Prince, we won't be able to win again in the future, unless... we create that 'evil thing'."

As he spoke, he turned around and went back to the table to get something.

When he saw the empty desk, Derian realized something and stretched out his hand to cast magic on the pile of debris he had just swept off the desk.

The wizard's hand came out, and a palm-sized transparent stone fell into his hand.

That was the photo prop he made, the photo stone.

Drien, holding the photo stone, waved to Qiao and Li Qi and said:
"Come and see, this is... this is what happened above White Rock Strait."

As he spoke, the image stone began to play the pre-recorded video.

The image is in the first person, held in the hands of a magician.

The magician stood on the deck, and the perspective of the image stone moved with his gaze.

Through his perspective, Reach saw England's fleet.

A total of five magic ships with magic shields were sailing towards the strait full of white rocks in the distance.

As the video was playing, Derian introduced:

"This is the latest warship developed by the School of Magic. Do you see the blue crystals on the ship? They are artificial magic crystals synthesized through alchemy. With the magic power retained in these magic crystals, we can set up a defensive array on the ship.

"There are three layers in total. After the Green Academy's research and improvement, the magic circle can block the enemy's musket fire and even withstand the enemy's artillery fire. You see."

Drien said, pointing to the sky above the screen.

Metal shells from above rained down on the ship. When they hit the sky above the ship, a blue transparent magic shield appeared and blocked them all.

But the first layer of magic shield did not hold out for long. Cracks appeared on the top and it quickly broke into pieces.

Fortunately, there are still the second and third floors.

When the second layer of magic shield was broken, England's fleet was approaching the shore of White Rock Strait.

At this distance, the soldiers on England's side brought out magic cannons inlaid with magic crystals and aimed them at the defensive bunkers on the coast.

With a salvo, the magic shells formed by purple magic penetrated the shore defense of Baiyan Strait.

Judging from the current situation, England has the advantage.

Since we were in an advantageous position at that time, why did the situation take a sudden turn for the worse afterwards?
Qiao had doubts in his mind, but Li Qi had already guessed something.

Especially when he saw a group of soldiers with red gems on their chests appearing in the distance on the shore.

They looked no different from other soldiers, hiding in trenches that had been dug long ago, occasionally poking their heads out to shoot at the fleet.

However, unlike other soldiers, the bullets fired by other soldiers were easily blocked by the magic shield.

But the bullets they fired easily tore apart England's magic shield!
And then it caused an explosion on the ship!
boom! !

From the magician's perspective, flames shot up into the sky on the ship, one round after another, like a salvo of artillery fire, stunning all of them.

Especially the magician who was responsible for taking pictures.

He stood there motionless as if he was frightened silly. If a soldier had not knocked him to the ground in time, he would have been shot into a sieve by the flying debris.

But even so, he was hit in the calf by a stray bullet and blood was flowing.

England's fleet was in complete chaos. They had no idea what tricks Uno was playing and they just wanted to turn back quickly.

But the result was... they couldn't go back.

Including the magician who is responsible for taking pictures.

After the magician responsible for taking pictures died, the image on the picture stone disappeared.

Staring at the blank photo stone, Qiao's expression was dull, just like the expressions of the other people in the photo stone just now.

Li Qi just remained silent.

He didn't expect that Uno had already applied the magic orb that was still under experimentation to the army.
