Nowadays, Blue Star’s main means of transportation is electric vehicles, but oil is still an important resource in the world. Mu Kailun’s uncle saw a large amount of extracted crude oil piled up in the warehouse, and asked people to inquire about the oil in the Melox Empire.
matter.
After learning that the oil refining equipment of the Merlocks Empire was too outdated and unable to refine all the oil in the warehouse, Mu Kailun immediately focused on the crude oil of the Merlocks Empire, which was said to be only two-thirds of the price of Blue Star.
"Your Majesty Aslan! I have visited your country's industrial facilities in the past few days and found that some technologies are very advanced, even surpassing Blue Star. However, many technologies are still relatively backward, which seriously affects the development of the country. I wonder if you need our help to introduce them.
The most advanced production equipment or help with sales.”
At the banquet, Mu Kailun found Aslan and offered him help.
The so-called production equipment is actually a cover. Even if it is purchased, installed, and trained workers, it will take time. During this time, the excess resources still need to be dealt with, and naturally these wealthy businessmen from Xiangdao will help solve the problem.
This is also Aslan's real purpose. The industry in Merlox Province has just developed, and everything is focused on military industry. The development of civilian equipment is slow, especially the research and development of production equipment, which is very backward.
Aslan wants Blue Star's advanced production equipment. Whether it is military industry or civilian agriculture, he will not let it go. As long as he can buy it, he will definitely buy it. The Merlox Empire does not have any technology patents now. It mainly buys
It will be cracked as soon as it comes. The reason why it cannot be produced is not that the technology is not good, but that the equipment is too backward. If it is all produced by magicians using alchemy, the gain outweighs the loss.
Now Aslan wants to purchase high-precision production equipment.
Only then can he truly be self-sufficient.
"That's great. I will let the Minister of Industry discuss this matter with you. I believe the final result will satisfy both parties." Aslan said with a smile.
Mu Kailun was immediately overjoyed.
At the end of the banquet, Aslan received the battle report and letter from Artoria.
Aslan just scanned the battle report roughly, and it was pretty much what he expected, then threw it aside and read it with Artoria's letter.
"Dear husband, I have successfully captured the Principality of Renekton and have entered the stage of encircling and suppressing the remnants. I believe it won't be long before I can go back and reunite with you."
Arturia writes letters just like she talks to people, concise and capable, without any ambiguity, and gets straight to the point.
There is also a crystal panel attached to the back. The arc-shaped crystal ball has a poor viewing angle for video recording. They have been using crystal tablets for video recording a long time ago.
As long as Aslan injected magic power, the crystal tablet immediately lit up, and the Merlot Knights were the first to appear, marching in neat formation.
The Principality of Renekton is located on a plain, which is more suitable for cavalry group charges.
Following Artoria's order, Yadong took the lead in guiding the knights to charge. Directly in front of them was the blocking position that the Principality of Renekton had prepared long ago. On the original plain, they had already dug out crisscrossing formations.
The trench is gone.
The wisdom of war is endless. With the popularity of rifles, trench warfare quickly spread and a variety of new weapons were developed.
For example, the war ballista, which is the simplest artillery made by attaching customized explosives to the war crossbow and shooting it out, is truly a "ballista" worthy of its name.
The armor on the Merlot Knights began to glow with a faint blue light, and then under the leadership of Yadong, a huge knight barrier was formed.
Directly in front are the tallest knights. They are wearing heavy armor and holding giant battle shields. They are lined up in a row, like a steel wall.
The soldiers of the Principality of Renekton stuck their heads out from the trenches and started shooting at the knights indiscriminately.
This trick has been tried many times and has successfully repelled several attacks by the Ottoman Kingdom. Even if the Ottoman Kingdom can win, it will have to pay a huge price every time.
This time was no exception. The soldiers of the Principality of Renekton confidently pulled the trigger on the charging Mero Knights.
The huge armored shield easily deflected the bullets, and the subsequent ballistae was blocked by the charging shield of the knight group before it landed on the shield, causing a huge explosion.
The Duke of Renekton's most confident and most lethal weapon only caused the Mero Knight in front to stagger and rush towards their position without losing speed.
The barbed wire had no effect at all in front of the charging knights. Instead, it was pulled into a huge beheading wire. Dragged by the war horses, the wire quickly passed over the trench. Many soldiers who were slow to react had not yet retracted their heads.
His neck was caught with a wire and he was dragged backwards.
If you're lucky, your head will be strangled directly, and you'll be dead. If you're unlucky, the wire will catch you, and you'll be dragged to death.
The knight behind held a knight's sword in one hand and raised the muzzle of the gun on his wrist with the other, constantly spraying flames. The enemy soldiers hiding under the trenches were continuously shot and fell to the ground.
It's much more efficient than cutting them one by one with a knight's sword.
Then the entire knights almost pushed across the entire trench position. If the soldiers in the position surrendered too slowly, they would probably be trampled to pieces.
Aslan also saw a knight mentor leading hundreds of knights to charge towards the weakest area of the Merlot Knights, trying to interrupt their momentum, but he saw a scene that surprised him.
The knights in the weak area roared when they saw the enemy coming, and the fighting spirit on their bodies surged. The weakest fighting spirit barrier in their area instantly became thicker several times, and their armor also shimmered. It was obviously an auxiliary magic that stimulated defense strengthening, directly interacting with the knights.
The instructor is head-on.
The knights from both sides collided, and the hundreds of knights led by the knight mentor were crushed by hundreds of Merlot knights in the weak area.
The knight instructor of the Principality of Renekton faced the joint attack of several great knight captains. He could not last more than a few rounds before his head was cut off.
This is the power of the knight group's charge.
As long as the knights are strong enough, in a head-on confrontation, it is possible for ordinary knights to cut down high-level knights, and high-level knights can cut off knight instructors in minutes.
When he was unable to charge in the end, Yadong led the knights to dismount and fight with the last elite professional troops of the Principality of Renekton.
The whole process from the outbreak to the end of the battle took less than ten minutes, and the speed of the end depended entirely on the charging speed of the knights.
Aslan was silent for a long time after watching the video.
I picked up Artoria's letter again after a long time and looked at it.
"The Merlot Knights, combined with the new-style armor of Kairon Bone Horse, can charge with a hundred people and destroy the main city gate. They have also withstood a 155-meter artillery attack..."
