Iron God of War: Magic Mechas Reshape the War Era

Su Lian left the ruined city, Wochikam.

At night, he returned to his country, braving the cold wind and snow on the high mountains.

The footprints left in the snow along the way were very deep.

The next day.

Bosch District, Alling.

At this moment, Su Lian was strolling in the city streets of Alling and was not in a hurry to go back.

Hey, have you heard? The king seems to think that Prince Ersha has made too much money and wants to take back his territory and magic car rights!

How is it possible? Prince Ersha paid for the railroad and built the magic train himself, but now the king wants to take it back just because he can make money? If this continues, what will the other nobles and princes think?

That's right! I heard that Prince Ersha said that in ten years, the profit he gave to the kingdom would be increased from 20% to 70%. His son and grandson will not be able to inherit the excess management rights.

Yes, every month when paying taxes, I always hear those grandfathers say that Prince Ersha still took the initiative to pay more.

If a prince like this has his territory taken back, I'll probably be so angry that I'll sell all my technology to foreign countries to make back my investment.

Such discussions could be heard in the streets and alleys.

Obviously.

Public opinion and rumors have spread completely.

Su Lian nodded with slight satisfaction. The reason why he stayed in Al Territory for a while was to see how public opinion and rumors spread in other areas.

From now on, even the far-flung territory of Al has such a high level of discussion. Although Duke Alfred has contributed to it, it is enough to prove that the topic is hot enough to attract people's attention.

Humph! What do you know?

At this time, a disdainful voice was heard.

Huh? Little carpenter, you're running away instead of learning your father's craft? The people around him laughed.

The source of the disdainful voice was just a fifteen-year-old boy in ordinary clothes.

What's so good about learning carpentry skills? I'm already a junior soldier, and joining the army is the best choice! said the young man.

Everyone laughed.

Hmph! And you really don't have any insights at all. It is indeed impossible for the kingdom to take back Prince Ersha's territory and magic car transportation rights now, but that doesn't mean they don't have any ideas now. It is very likely that they will take action against Prince Ersha within ten years! The young man looked very insightful.

This kid is talking nonsense again. Someone shook his head helplessly.

The expressions of the others were similar, and they were obviously used to his situation.

Hmph! If you don't believe me, forget it. The boy was very angry.

At this time, Su Lian, still wearing a mask, walked through the crowd.

Why would you take action within ten years? Su Lian asked directly.

Everyone was stunned, but when they saw that the person coming was also a child, and looked even younger, they thought that even though he was well-equipped, it was just a hobby among children.

Of course it's the accumulation of prestige and money that will soon exceed the control of the kingdom. The young man.

Oh? Reason? Su Lian continued to ask.

You want to listen? The boy was a little confused.

You know, few people would listen to him talk about these things, all adults thought he was talking nonsense, and all children or his peers thought he was fanciful.

Curious. Su Lian.

Forget it, since you want to hear it, I'll tell you.

The reason is simple. Prince Ersha now has an extremely terrifying ability to amass wealth, and he has used this as a basis to carry out large-scale agricultural reforms in the territory. All the estate owners and nobles were driven out to do business, and all the civilians were driven out to work in factories.

And the most terrifying thing is that both the manor owners and nobles, as well as the common people, are very happy with Prince Ersha's decision.

They support Prince Ersha very much. A slight comparison will show that returning to the kingdom's rule is definitely not as happy as becoming Prince Ersha's subjects.

Money and prestige are more than enough to breed a strong army!

The young man said with great insight.

What a perceptive boy! The kingdom has indeed realized this, so I was the first to spread rumors and public opinion.

But his answer...

Haha! Little carpenter, you are just bragging. Prince Ersha's territory is estimated to be less than one million people, right? Excluding half of the elderly and the weak, and half of the women, there are only 250,000 people left. How many soldiers do you think you can recruit from these 250,000 men?

Even if we give you 100,000 or 150,000, that's still not enough for a well-equipped army to kill.

Not to mention the Knight Mechs that ordinary people can't handle at all. One is enough to take over a village without a Knight Mech!

An uncle laughed.

This is a very normal way of thinking, because in the eyes of ordinary people, the Frost Blade Knight, a knight mecha that is five meters tall and made of special alchemical metal, is completely invulnerable to swords and guns. Facing an ordinary army of a thousand people, they can go in and out seven times!

Without the knight mecha, there is no combat power!

This is the consensus formed by the army since the creation of Dalita!

Knight mecha is the mainstream of war!

As for Prince Ersha, it is impossible for him to create a powerful knight mecha when alchemical metal materials are strictly restricted and large-scale smuggling of high-level magic cores is impossible.

But there's plenty of time!

With Prince Ersha's current financial resources, even if he can only find a way to get one high-level magic core every month, even if it's a second-hand one, he can have sixteen per year, and it will only take five years to reach the number of eighty.

If we can find some raw materials or directly purchase some alchemical metals, it is entirely possible to assemble one or two hundred third-tier knight mechas in ten years!

The boy spoke his mind.

The people around were slightly stunned, as if this statement was not impossible.

The kingdom has thirty formal army groups, with a total of 12,000 soldiers and 350 knight mechas of various models. Even without counting the other corps, the formal corps has a total military strength of 360,000 plus 10,500 mechas of various models.

This is also the foundation of our kingdom's stability for hundreds of years. What can Prince Ersha do to shake it?

Su Lian asked directly. It seemed reasonable for him to say such words that were not suitable for his appearance as a child, considering his well-equipped appearance.

The premise is that all the army groups will obey the orders of the kingdom at that time! the young man said confidently.

Su Lian narrowed his eyes slightly.

This kid is quite interesting.

Your guess is a bit unreasonable, isn't it? Su Lian asked back.

Indeed, but I believe it is possible! Because in a country like this, the only people who want to become legion commanders or generals, apart from those from aristocratic families, are probably ambitious people who want to do something! So if someone leads them, they will definitely follow! The young man seemed more confident.

It's clearly a guess, but it's said as if it's true.

Tsk, the little carpenter just likes to fantasize. Even if there are a few people like this, but five generals and thirty legion commanders, all of them? Funny.

And you, little guy, don't listen to the little carpenter's nonsense, or you will be led astray.

That's right.

The people around were full of ridicule and did not believe the child's guess at all.

Finally we met. 

Su Lian couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth under the mask.

Ten years have passed since I was reincarnated. I have always been paying attention to whether there are such geniuses around me. Unfortunately, let alone such geniuses. Even geniuses related to scientific research have to be dug out by myself in the academy. There is no pure encounter.

I finally met one today, and I was moved to tears.

If he doesn't come again, I will really doubt whether there are any geniuses in this field in this world.

Fortunately, there is one now.

As for what level of genius this kid is, we'll know once we take him back!

Your family is a carpenter, right? I just happen to need some furniture, could you take me to see them? Su Lian said as he threw out a silver coin, which was considered a regular deposit.

Tsk, I have to say, silver products really cause physical discomfort even if you only touch them briefly with your hands.

Meet? Oh, okay. The boy nodded.

When there is business, you still have to collect it.

Everyone was a little disappointed.

Hey, I thought you, young master, really liked listening to that nonsense. If you wanted to find a carpenter, you should have told him earlier. Someone said.

We have plenty of time, it's not bad to listen. Su Lian said to the boy with a smile, Let's go.

Yeah. The boy nodded.

They crossed the street and left the place of discussion.

soonThey walked out of the city gate.

Is your home outside the city? Su Lian asked knowingly.

Stop pretending. You deliberately said 'meet' but didn't say who you wanted to meet. And if you really want to order furniture, with the equipment you have, there's no way you can just find a carpenter who brags on the street, right? I know that nobles and wealthy businessmen like to order custom furniture from specialized chambers of commerce. The young man hummed.

So this is the place to talk? Su Lian asked back.

At this moment, they had arrived at a place about a hundred meters away from the city gate, and under a big tree away from the main road.

If you know soundproofing magic, this is the place. The boy said.

Interesting boy.

Su Lian directly released the soundproofing magic, and the young man with fighting spirit could also feel that this was a third-level one.

In other wordsOh my god! You are a wizard? The boy was also surprised.

Are you surprised? Su Lian asked with a smile.

A little bit. Are you from the royal family? In our kingdom, the only people with such magical talent at your age are royal families. The boy continued to guess.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Suman Liandel. I am indeed the royal family you mentioned. Su Lian said directly.

Suman...Lian De'er? Wait! Are you... The boy had an impression of this name!

Prince Suman Ersa's only grandson, Suman Liander!

Shit! Are you going to kill someone to silence them? The young man immediately became alert.

He just predicted Prince Ersha's entire plan!

Why don't you introduce yourself first? You have a nice name, so I won't kill you. Su Lian said jokingly.

Uh... the boy.

Is this reason okay?
