Sharlayan also understands the truth of the barrage. Sooner or later, the turmoil detonated in the Shadow Realm will spread to Azeroth. There is no point in shrinking your head and being a chocobo. Anyway, sooner or later, you will find a way to solve these troubles.
At this stage, Denathius and Zoval's layout has not yet been completed, and the difficulty of destroying their plans is far lower than in the future.
The Valeera trio argued with Stradama for a long time, but in the end they still failed to gain the upper hand verbally.
Choosing Sarlayan to be the acting Marquis of Creation was just a temporary measure, because no one except him could subdue the single-minded undead constructs in the Creation Academy.
Although these fools participated in the rebellion with Gamar, many of them simply obeyed orders and could not be beaten to death with a stick in black and white, as that would have a great impact on the immediate combat power of the Shadow Realm.
Influence.
The civil war in Maldraxxus is just the appetizer for the turmoil in the Shadow Realm. The real war has not officially begun yet. Of course, the more effective forces can be preserved, the better.
Under the reasonable persuasion of the three marquises, Sarlayan reluctantly accepted the title of Acting Marquis of Creation.
As Kexus said, the main force of the Creation Academy is a group of undead constructs with relatively stupid brains. These guys are very accommodating to death.
According to the rules of the Shadow Realm, if a new marquis wants to ascend to the throne, he must defeat the previous marquis in a one-on-one duel, and neither party can let go.
But...although the rules say so, in fact when the position of marquis is handed over, the old marquis will be more or less merciful, and the top leaders of Maldraxxus understand this tacitly.
Sarlayan has completed this ceremony ahead of schedule. Although some key members of the Academy of Creation are dissatisfied with him assuming the power of a marquis as a mortal, with the strong support of the three marquises and the acquiescence of most members of the Academy of Creation,
The matter was finally settled smoothly.
While waiting for the free scouts sent by Akalek to bring back the latest information from Ascension Fortress, Sarlayan stayed in the Secret Academy of Creation to take care of government affairs.
The late former Marquis of Creation, Gamal, was a typical martial artist. His management of the Creation Secret Courtyard was very crude, and he could basically be said to be herding sheep.
After all, he was a Marquis with a hateful background. Even though his strength was high and his intelligence was much higher than the average Tiehanhan hateful one, he was still lacking in internal affairs management.
After urgently taking over the Academy of Creation, Sarlayan, assisted by Valeera, Stellagosa and Onyxia, first clicked on the existing resources of the Academy of Creation and the finished war weapons that could still be used.
.
This check shocked Sarlayan.
According to regulations, each secret courtyard can only have one floating city belonging to its own courtyard.
There is only one floating city made public by the Academy of Creation, but in fact, there are three unfinished floating cities being secretly constructed in the underground factory of the Academy of Creation.
The floating city can carry a large number of soldiers and heavy weapons. It is a very useful aerial fortress. It can also be used as an air and space command post. It is also complementary to the use of the Creation Academy, which specializes in building various war weapons.
Since we are already halfway through the construction, there is no reason to stop here. Sarlayan encouraged the craftsmen responsible for the floating city project to continue their efforts.
Accustomed to the new magical weapons of Quel'Thalas, Sharlayan was not very fond of the traditional war weapons left in the Academy of Creation.
War equipment such as ballistae, trebuchets, knife-throwing carts, battering rams, building carts, and ladders are also very common in the material world where mortals live.
These weapons are all classic, but they may not keep up with the ever-changing times.
In Quel'Thalas, these old-fashioned war weapons are being phased out one by one and replaced with more advanced magic weapons.
Gamar's innovation ability is not enough. In the many years he has been in charge of the Academy of Creation, all kinds of war weapons have hardly been updated, and they are still the same old ones.
Sarlayan, who keeps up with the changes of the times, can't stand these antiques.
There are three things that a new official should do when he takes office. Not long after he takes office, Sarlayan summons the temporarily idle craftsmen in the Creation Secret Courtyard, and they all get together for a brainstorming session.
Judging from the slow and cowardly reactions of these craftsmen, Gamal probably did not encourage them to make innovative improvements to war weapons and only wanted to stick to the classic styles.
The development of magic weapons in Quel'Thalas is inextricably linked to Sharlayan, and he has some understanding of the manufacturing process.
In order to enhance Maldraxxus' combat effectiveness as much as possible in a short period of time, Sharlayan chose to directly copy the work.
In a very tight time, he drew the design blueprint of the magic gun and magic cannon.
Sarlayan did not expect the somewhat rigid craftsmen in the Academy of Creation to quickly understand the principles of magic weapons. It was enough as long as they could manufacture these weapons according to the instructions.
The Academy of Creation has always been known as the arsenal of the entire Shadow Realm. These great craftsmen trained by Gamar may have insufficient innovation capabilities, but their craftsmanship is impeccable.
With complete design drawings in hand, the prototype magic guns and magic cannons were quickly and smoothly released.
Due to the differences in the personal tastes of craftsmen, the magical weapons produced by the Academy of Creation are not as gorgeous in appearance compared to those in Quel'Thalas, but they can basically be perfectly reproduced in function.
"Peng~"
Sarlayan personally tried out the magic gun that the craftsmen had made as quickly as possible. What was hung on the target for testing was the sturdy armor commonly used by the soul-selected warriors.
Considering the user's habits, this magic gun has two modes, one is to fill it with live ammunition, and the other is to directly inject energy to generate projectiles.
Sarlayan first tested the power of live ammunition. The conical metal bullets made according to Quel'Thalas standards rotated along the rifling, and easily punched a small hole in the steel armor on the target.
"Oh? This thing is very powerful."
Hearing that Sarlayan was testing new weapons, Kexus and Akalak took the opportunity to sneak over and watch the fun.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Stradama actually came too, but she was blocked from the training ground by a wall of three women on the grounds of protecting safety. The four of them were laughing at each other.
They argue with each other without laughing.
"Yes, Not Bad."
After Sarlayan put down his gun, he patted the chief craftsman of the Academy of Creation... a four-handed alien with satisfaction on the shoulder.
"Although there are still some flaws in the feel, overall the flaws are outweighed. It is indeed a bit embarrassing for you to come up with the finished product in such a short period of time."
"No, no, no! Where is the acting Marquis?"
The chief craftsman rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "The structural principle of this new weapon has opened our eyes. Whether it is a magic gun or a magic cannon, it is much more portable than the previous bulky traditional weapons.
"
"I personally believe that these weapons that are easy to carry and powerful are the future of war weapons. Instead, we should thank you for letting us see the direction in which we should develop them in the future."
Sarlayan smiled noncommittally, flipped a small mechanism on the side of the gun body, and changed the ammunition feeding mode to charging.
"biu!"
Due to their light weight, energy bullets fly faster after being released from the barrel and have stronger penetrating power.
However, precisely because of its small mass, its power is a little inferior to that of live ammunition, which can be considered to have advantages and disadvantages.
Moreover, the problem of low power of energy bombs is not unsolvable, as long as the caliber is increased.
Of course, the premise is that the gun owner's own energy can afford the energy consumption of the large-caliber magic gun.
Generally speaking, the live ammunition mode is more suitable for mass-produced magic guns, after all, they are mainly supplied to ordinary soldiers.
If it is customized for a strong senior officer, you can make some adjustments in caliber and tailor it according to personal habits.
After testing the magic gun, Sarlayan brought two...three marquis with faces full of surprise to visit the test firing of the magic gun.
"Huh~"
After the roar of the cannon subsided, Caixus sighed with emotion.
"If this new type of weapon is mass-produced, the mode of warfare is likely to undergo fundamental changes."
Akalek also nodded in agreement with a solemn expression: "Have Azeroth's war weapons developed to this extent? No wonder the Burning Legion has always been obsessed with your world."
Sharlayan shook his head and laughed: "This is a new weapon developed by my homeland Quel'Thalas, and it is far from being fully popularized in Azeroth."
"Quel'Thalas is considered a big country in Azeroth, but it cannot yet influence the direction of the world. The road still has to be walked step by step."
"Let's not talk about Azeroth for now." Sarlayan's expression became serious: "Marquis Akalek, you and the two Marquises of Caixus and Stradama should come together.
Are you not just here to watch the test firing of new weapons?”
"Haha~" Akalek smiled mockingly: "I really can't hide it from you."
"The information you wanted for the Ascension Fortress is here. Let me remind you that the current situation of the country called paradise is not optimistic."
