Equipment Printing School Mage

Therefore, the Fritia Alliance chose the ultimate, ruthless strategy: burning down the less developed slave settlements within their territory. They might be heartbroken, but no substantial damage would be inflicted. Even if they were completely burned, the Fritia Alliance's dragons would be able to escape the elemental scourge in time.

At the same time, they almost completely avoided gathering, and the war spread from the Fritia Alliance to the territory of the Holy Elemental Church, leaving the Elemental Scourge, which the Holy Elemental Church was proud of, unable to find any targets to attack.

The Fritia Alliance could fight anywhere in Abel - they could rush into the territory of the Holy Church of the Elements to burn, kill and loot without any psychological burden. They would fight if they could win, and run away if they couldn't.

Unfortunately, Halrua's form of existence happens to be the one that is most afraid of the attacks of the Elemental Holy Church.

Asking the Halrua people to abandon all their accumulation and walk away? They would be heartbroken to the point of vomiting blood - that's thousands of years of accumulation!

"...So, Elder Emiya," an elder asked, "you asked this question, and I assume you have the answer?"

"Yes." Emiya said simply, "We need an airship."

Although the wizard's teleportation spell is powerful, the biggest problem is that the wizard's magic power is limited after all. At the same time, he cannot carry too many things, and his firepower is severely limited by the wizard himself.

And the airship will be the answer to everything.

"Now, Lan Tan's compatriots have agreed to hand over their knowledge of the use of elemental amber. When we met, they were sailing on a floating ocean with a ship." Emilia knocked on the table. "Speed, yes, fifty knots."

"Fifty knots?!" When the elders who knew a little about sea and airships heard this number, they almost took off the seats under them.

Hell, even at low altitude, the Halruaan airship only managed a dozen knots! If it were to sail on the sea, its speed would drop to only slightly faster than an ordinary sea vessel.

Where did this four or five times speed difference come from?!

"The answer is elemental amber," said Emiya. "They used elemental amber to enchant the sails and used the elemental storm of air as the ship's power. The biggest problem with this power model is no longer whether there is enough wind, but whether the ship can sustain the speed. As long as there is a high-quality airship, the speed can be even higher!"

At this moment, Tita lowered her voice and said, "Master Craftsman Emia... The Frame has already used the finest wood in Lantan, which is the upper limit of mass production of ships. Stronger materials are often heavier, so it will be difficult to increase the speed further."

"No, there are perfect materials." Emiya said, "Ms. Tita, it's just that Lan Tan had a hard life before. You just don't dare to think in that direction."

He patted the table and said, "Everyone, we are now in a real crisis, but this crisis itself is a treasure trove.

"The Frame's sails are made of the finest flax, its keel is ironwood, its mast is pine, and its hull is a combination of hemlock and birch. This is truly the upper limit of traditional boats, and there's very little room for improvement."

"But we are now in Abel," Emiya said. "There is a material that is very rare in Toril, but can be found everywhere in Abel. In fact, these materials are stronger than similar materials on Toril."

At this moment, the people of Halrua finally woke up, and many elders were so excited that they almost jumped up.

Yes, if battle is unavoidable, then the materials used for Halrua's daily expenses will undergo a terrifying upgrade in a short period of time.

Emiya said: "Dragon wings can be used as sails, dragon scales can be strung together to form the hull, and dragon ribs can be used as the keel of the ship."

They could even try using the dragon's lungs as jet nozzles.

An elder murmured, "However, the body parts of a dead dragon will lose their power and are far less powerful than when they were inside the dragon..."

Emiya said decisively: "Then, it's time for elemental amber to show its power."

As for desecrating a corpse, wouldn't that be impolite?

It's weird. These Abelian dragons are making elemental amber themselves. God knows how many horrific dragon pits there are in the two countries!

These dragons themselves don't care about the dignity of their own kind after death, so why should the people of Toril worry about it for them!

Forty-four Flying Revolution (Part 2)

Although the dragon is powerful, it is not able to survive by drinking the wind.

Thanks to their strong mobility, their supply lines can be stretched very long, but there must always be a supply point for the dragon army on the front line to rest and recover.

The Holy Church of the Elements has always prided itself on its strict (self-perceived) organization, so their supply points often serve many functions.

For example, the gathering and distribution of information.

Therefore, the frontline headquarters of the Holy Elemental Church is often similar to a general staff, where a large number of dragons gather to perform staff work.

"The Thunder Flower has also been subdued. The insects guarding it immediately retreated when faced with the whirlwind of fire—but they didn't retreat too far. The Thunder Flower has been constantly harassed for some time now. But the defense line is still solid."

"Let them hold out for five more days. After five days, a force will relieve them. If you encounter the Fritian Alliance army, evacuate immediately and report." One of the frontline commanders of the Holy Cult of the Elements is the Rock Black Dragon Stannis. As a subspecies of earth elemental dragon, the Rock Black Dragon has countless rock growths on its body. The most severe growth on Stannis's head, making the black dragon's skull-like face look like a thick mask.

Confronting the Freetia Alliance was an extremely painful undertaking—for the Holy Church of the Elements had reached a painful conclusion: once war broke out, the map was effectively scrapped. Fighting would occur in every corner of Abel, leaving no clear front lines.

In a sense, the deadly battle between the two forces is a true return to the origin of war: the most essential logistical showdown.

Each side is bleeding the other, and the war will not end until one side's blood is drained.

The Holy Church of the Elements has been trying to find a vital point that the Fritia Alliance cannot give up, but this task is extremely difficult.

When they discovered that the Fritia Alliance had stationed a lot of manpower for the Thunder Flower, they were ecstatic for a while - but they found out that this was a complete illusion. Although the Fritia Alliance was wary of the Thunder Flower, it still retreated at the first touch.

They couldn't really attack the Dragon Kingdom of Dragon King Kornai.

On Abel, the reason why there is such a bizarre title as "Dragon King" is very simple: Kornai is strong enough.

It was so strong that even though the Fritia Alliance was extremely loose, Kornai was still able to make this group of loose sands burst into initiative with his prestige alone.

That was the terrifying dragon who was the first to raise the banner of rebellion and bite off half of Abel from the Holy Church of Elements. No one knew how old he was, and the Holy Church of Elements hoped every day that he would die of old age quickly - but the Holy Church of Elements did not even have the courage to verify whether he was dead or alive.

If he was still alive, he must be tens of thousands of years old. If he really didn't stop growing with aging like other dragons...

The current Kearney might be a behemoth several thousand meters long and as big as a mountain.

——And this giant, even though clumsy, may be the fastest on the planet and can still cover the sky

Perhaps the Holy Church of Elements could kill him with a full-strength attack, but the price would be absolutely unbearable.

Therefore, since Kornai still stayed in his Dragon Kingdom, the Holy Church of Elements pretended that this strongest dragon was a mascot without combat power, rather than a terrifying existence that could be called a wild spirit.

Fighting the Fritia Alliance would bring in information about the battle from a terrifying number of directions. Stannis simply didn't have the energy to care about Kearney the Dragonlord anymore.

After spending a considerable amount of time integrating the current intelligence, Stannis had to come to a conclusion.

Now, they are still in a very traditional chaos, and there is no sign of any strategy from the Fritia dragons.

The most disgusting thing is that they have to do the same work and draw the same conclusions every day, lest the dragons of Fritia lurk quietly and strike suddenly with thunder.

Stannis swung his tail in pain and said, "One more thing... A team should have gone to investigate Leclerc's whereabouts... I didn't see any report?"

His subordinates exchanged a glance, and one of the bronze dragons replied, "Before Leclerc disappeared, he seemed to be heading to a location close to the previous elemental storm. It was originally a wilderness. But now that an elemental storm has erupted, it means the Fritia Alliance should have already occupied it. Ashe Frame's claim is merely a deception. The defenses there are tighter than we anticipated. All the teams we sent out encountered high-density resistance and were stopped before they even reached the mountains."

As for Leclerc, who quietly went to this area, his fate is probably self-evident.

"...This matter is of great importance." Stannis pondered for a moment, finally making up his mind. "We've already taken the floating island. Next, we'll use it as a starting point to focus on encircling Ashe Frame's territory, and we'll go straight into the heartland. This dragon dealer's ambitions may be greater than we imagined, but if he can create an elemental storm, it means his progress is not going smoothly. In that case, he must be annihilated."

"Also, tell the frontline troops to pay attention to the Fritia Alliance's movements. If the Fritia Alliance shows any additional interest in the dragon corpse, be sure to report it!"

After issuing a barrage of orders, Stannis took a deep breath.

The fools of the Fritia Alliance are lagging behind in research in every aspect.

It is a bit too late to try to advance the research on elemental amber now.

Moreover, judging from the trends, the Fritia Alliance only realized that the Thunder Flower and Tianhe were extraordinary, but had not yet discovered the true significance of Tianhe and the Thunder Flower.

The elements outside are just a cage; the real meaning lies in what is inside.

As long as this remains a secret, the Holy Church of the Elements will be invincible!

Stannis felt his head, which was about to explode from overthinking, lighten a little at the thought.

He stretched his body and assumed the prayer posture of the Elemental Holy Church.

"Praise the Wild Spirit."

“Praise the Wild Spirit!!!”

They just need time.

-----------------

Praise the magic.

Even though Tita had never learned arcane magic in Toril, she had to admit that the wizard's tricks were really useful when constantly adjusting the blueprints.

As long as she points, the mage can make adjustments in real time, giving a more perfect result, making the design of new ships extremely fast.

Of course... the most perfect thing is that the wizard who created this virtual light and shadow is actually the master craftsman of the Gond Church.

To be honest, she didn't even know there were mages in the Gond Church before, and she did doubt the identity of the Master Craftsman Emilia Gond.

However, the tools were so exquisite and perfect that they must have been made by the Gond Church. Furthermore, who would deliberately go to the Gond Church to steal the master craftsman's identification just to scare the Lantan people?

Now that we have this ability, we can directly control the Gunde Church.

Moreover, Emilia is an extremely good craftsman - this can be concluded after just a brief communication with him.

Moreover, after spending a few days together, Tita had realized that arcane magic was actually more suitable for creation than divine magic.

Although the Gond Church was not officially opposed to magic, the people of Gond still had a certain desire to surpass magic with technology. However, after only a few days of working with Emiya, she had come to a conclusion.

——Magic smells so good.

With an arcane craftsman like Emiya demonstrating in front of her, Tita only felt what a hard life she had lived before.

There are so many tedious tasks that can be done more efficiently with arcane magic.

This is not to mention Emilia's astonishing and ingenious craftsmanship.

Every craftsman will have only two reactions when he sees those solid materials being kneaded and flattened like mud, and work that would take months or even years being completed in just a few minutes.

The first one is vomiting blood: If other people's efficiency is so high, then what is the point of their previous efforts? Wasted life?

The second was ecstasy: the Gond Church valued tools the most, and now, the most perfect tool had appeared before them.

Fortunately, Lantan's craftsmen quickly found their own niche.

The existing Halruaan people really have poor shipbuilding capabilities.

"I don't even know what you're insisting on!!!" The Lantan leader, displaying the pride of a Gond people, launched into a furious barrage at the Halruaan elders who presumed they knew a thing or two about sailing. "If you ask me, there was no need for airships to be amphibious in the first place! Is there any point in designing a traditional bottom specifically for them to sail on the sea?"

She was so angry she nearly smashed the table. "Since they're all airships, and your airboards have a long lifespan, each enchantment shouldn't be a problem for them to last for decades—why not just let them fly forever? At worst, they'll just float on the sea!"

The biggest drawback of the amphibious design is that the structure of the ship is actually not significantly different from that of a traditional sea vessel.

But in the eyes of the people of Gond, this is typical amateurism.

They actually had no clear idea of ​​how to build ships, so Halrua's airship was actually just an ordinary sea ship that could float.

There is a lot of room for improvement in its performance.

They should even say that the design should be completely rebuilt from the ground up.

Airships and sea ships should not be similar at all!

Halrua's shipbuilders had all but lost their tradition, and the only ones still participating in the discussion were the elders who had previously been primarily responsible for crafting the airships. They exchanged bewilderment, but ultimately, unable to save face, they gritted their teeth and said, "Redesigning it now? Is this something that can be done overnight?"

This rhetorical question touched the sore spot of the people of Gond.

Every craftsman who joins the Gond Church is a semi-perfectionist, and almost no one is willing to make shoddy products. Therefore, their efficiency is not high unless it is an emergency.

They looked down on the outdated design of the Halruaan airship, but to complete the design in a short period of time and produce a product that satisfied them...

The people of Gond did not dare to make such a boast.

It takes several months to build a seagoing ship, and sea trials take a long time.

For example, the previously damaged Fram took nearly two years to make its first official voyage.

Redesign, rebuild the ship? By the time everything was finished, the dragon's breath would be in their faces.

But Emilia doesn't think so.

He replied, "Shipbuilding and testing are not a problem. Ms. Tita, you can be more unrestrained with your design. There's no need to rigorously test the parameters during the design process. I just need you to produce a rough draft as quickly as possible so I can make the finished product. Any imperfections can be corrected during testing."

This is what Tita was waiting for.

Use illusion to assist in drawing quickly, and then directly produce the finished product for small-scale testing after each stage of achievement, so that if there are any problems, adjustments can be made quickly.

As long as this is the case, in fact, they have already had a preliminary idea in the past few days.

"In our plan, a new type of airship should look like this." Emiya lit up an illusion, showing a new shuttle-like creation, "It will have a streamlined structure to minimize wind resistance.

"The symmetrical structure means the sails are no longer just above the deck. With a fully symmetrical structure, the sails will completely cover the hull surface, maximizing the ship's power system. To prevent the ship from disintegrating directly, its keel will use the spine of a giant dragon, and the hull will use fiberglass, giving both observation and structure an advantage."

There are several openings on both sides of the ship.

Inside that was a black cannon barrel.

"The first type of airship is expected to be the main vessel and the primary source of firepower in future battles. Each ship will be equipped with twelve cannons on each side."

The Halruaan airship's greatest advantage is that its buoyancy doesn't degrade with increasing cargo load. Previously, its biggest problem was that it relied entirely on ordinary sails for flight. If it carried too much cargo, it would only rise to the sky and struggle to move forward.

The sails enchanted with elemental amber will be able to solve this problem once and for all.

Halruaa's airships no longer need to displace seawater, and the number of sails they can carry can be nearly doubled.
