Chapter 376: A Great Expedition with a Sheep’s Head on a Plank

Chapter 370 – The Great Expedition with a Hanging Sheep’s Head

“Great Expedition Plan?” Receiving the plan that Owen had spent a meal writing out, Maya froze, and then began to calculate her family’s reserves, after all, a great expedition or something, at a glance, it was clear that it was going to raise a large number of people, and raising a large number of people often meant that the territory’s reserves jumped off a cliff and decreased.

However, if her master insisted, Maya wouldn’t dissuade her much, instead she would give her full support, because in her opinion, it didn’t matter if her master’s orders were right or wrong, as long as her master was willing to do so, she would do whatever it took to make the wrong right.

It was just that Owen was not as heartless as Maya thought, he never cared if he would lose control of his territory if he didn’t show up for thirty years, and he didn’t plan to build up his prestige by achieving a brilliant victory in a huge war, so his so-called great expedition couldn’t even be described by hanging a sheep’s head to sell a dog’s meat, because he just wanted to go to the secret realm of Evil Energy and take a look at it.

In Owen’s understanding, the Secret Realm of Evil Energy was not in reality, and was equivalent to going to another world to fight, so naturally, he could hang on to the words Great Expedition, but he didn’t know that when he first saw these three words, Maya had already made preparations to empty her family’s pockets.

Although it is just going to the secret realm, but because of a certain degree of danger, it is definitely necessary to strengthen the armed forces of the evil energy secret realm, while mobilizing the close guards to follow, and this is also the significance of the latter’s existence.

But compared to the territory’s full support of a great expedition, this point of consumption was really not worth mentioning.

Seeing this, Maya couldn’t help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Right now, the territory’s thirty years of accumulation was very strong, but it still needed to be careful when it came to war, so Owen’s plan was the best in her opinion, and it didn’t even need to mobilize troops other than the Goblin Corps and the Kintetsu Army.

Since the formation of the Goblin Corps, it has never gone out to the outside world, and the Close Guard is Owen’s personal guard, so using these two forces, except for consuming some resources, the impact is not great, and even do not need to adjust the territory’s defense strategy and defense line, so Maya quickly began to prepare the necessary resources and troops.

On this expedition, Char naturally followed, as well as Emilee who was quite comprehensive in all aspects, but the main force was still the Goblin Corps.

Because of Owen’s decision, this time, the change of defense of the Goblin Corps was commanded by Dagu himself, because he didn’t feel comfortable leaving it to others.

Corps change of defense to be more cumbersome than Owen imagined, because the two sides have been fighting for thirty years, the evil energy rat people have long been familiar with the fighting style of the goblin corps, so there is no less to take advantage of the change of defense sneak attack, and then the goblin corps strengthened the vigilance, it becomes a large-scale attack, so we must make sufficient preparations, or else want to recapture the lost land will pay a more heavy price.

One hundred bipedal mechs were not only loading ammunition and fuel, but also adding special ceramic armor, making the thick body become more and more bulky.

Owen looked fresh, so he inquired, after all, this way will obviously cause more pressure on the foot joints of the bipedal mechs that are already not overburdened, and once the ground has a huge drop, the bipedal mechs that have stepped on the ground might break their own legs.

As for Owen’s question, the gnome engineer on the side immediately gave an answer.

Bipedal mechs use a very cheap outer armor is a very cheap clamped steel plate, the advantage of this kind of armor is cheap enough, easy to process, the disadvantage is that the defensive power is general, and more heavy.

However, this is not simply to save money, mainly because the evil energy has a very strong corrosive nature, the difference between the steel armor and the clamped steel armor is not very big, so the goblins will choose the cheaper clamped steel armor.

But this does not mean that the face of evil energy can only be sent to death, in fact, after the research center of the careful research, there is a ceramic armor.

The hardness of ceramic is very high, coupled with the ability to eliminate kinetic energy very well after breaking, so in the previous life as a bulletproof vest insert.

In addition, ceramic also has good heat insulation and corrosion resistance, even when encountering evil energy, it is still more advantageous than steel, therefore, once entering the evil energy secret realm, not only bipedal mechs, steam tanks and infantry will be hung with a layer of ceramic armor, although it increases the weight and speeds up the wear and tear of the machinery, but it increases the chances of survival, so no one will complain about this. After receiving the order to prepare for battle from the officer, the Earth Goblin, who had put on the ceramic plate chest armor, pulled out a five-round standard magazine from the ammo box on his waist and pressed it into the chamber, and drew out his bayonet and fixed it underneath the muzzle.

This was done because there was no way to predict what he would encounter next, so he could only prepare for the worst, such as close combat.

The strong and sturdy Bear Goblin was also silent as he added chains to the water-cooled machine gun he was holding in his arms, preparing for battle, while the deputy shooter beside him was reinforcing the ammunition box strapped to his body.

Although the rate of fire of the water-cooled machine gun was not as fast as the thousands of rounds per minute of the modern machine gun, but a few hundred rounds a minute was not that bad, and the consumption of ammunition was also very considerable, so before the logistical personnel sent up the ammunition, they could only rely on the bullets they were carrying, so they would bring as many as they could.

After receiving the order, the caster corps on the third floor of the ruins opened the layers of prohibitions, and then opened the closed boundary, at once a black-green vortex appeared on the open space at the entrance of the ruins, at a glance it was full of ominous, just like miserable green pus mixed with corrupt sludge, it was also like a chrysanthemum constantly shrinking, it was really quite disgusting.

Both Dagu and the Goblin Corps had long been accustomed to this, and did not hesitate to advance towards the vortex.

The sarcophagus bipedal mech corps was the first to enter the vortex with even heavier steps, they were a combat unit between infantry and tanks, and were more suitable for complex and dangerous battles, so they were the deserved pioneers.

Next were the Goblin infantry with bayoneted rifles charging in small steps, and the Bear Goblins carrying water-cooled machine guns, they had to use the bipedal mechs for cover as well as their broader vision and guns to cover the advance of the bipedal mechs.

As for the steam tanks, driven by powerful steam, escorting more infantry into the vortex.

At this moment, Owen was also heavily armed, except that he didn’t use the holy relics, but the next generation of heavy power armor carefully developed by the research center.

This model of power armor was called the silver type because it used a large amount of high-quality secret silver steel.

The silver heavy duty power armor was taller and heavier than the power armor that the Konoha Army was currently equipped with, but its movement and reaction was more agile and faster, coupled with its excellent defense and power output, it was completely crushing.

Unfortunately, this type of power armor is too expensive, the metal skeleton is lined with a new generation of gold steel, not to say indestructible, ordinary legendary weapons and high-level magic can not be damaged in the slightest, and as the outer armor of the secret silver steel is a rare high quality.

The cost of materials alone is enough to make an average person vomit blood, not to mention the other technologies fused inside, as well as runes and enchantments, which undoubtedly led to a straight-line spike in manufacturing costs.

Even if the raw material problem was solved, it was still difficult to mass produce, because many of the techniques were only mastered by Emily and Brian, and others were far from being able to reach them.

This is not a matter of teaching or not teaching, just like the same pliers, but there is a difference between an apprentice and a grade 8 plier.

Therefore, except for Owen, other people could not enjoy this kind of treatment at all.

In the future, this type of power armor will either be simplified to reduce costs, or be kept as a technical reserve, and then mass-produced when the conditions are met.
