When Yin Sabella heard Nalant's humble words again, the admiration in her eyes appeared again.
Bah!
Immediately, Nalant was caught off guard, and the former princess Yinsabella, who was as beautiful as white moonlight, actually stood up on her tiptoes and kissed Nalant.
"Baron Nalant, your humility shows me the true qualities of a knight!"
After saying that, Yin Sabella ran into her carriage while blushing with shame as Nalant was stunned.
"This..." Nalant touched the side of his face, but he didn't expect that Yin Sabella would be so angry.
"Baron Nalant, let's leave first. After a while, we will take the serfs with us and come to the new territory!"
"Have a safe trip, Baron Narante!"
After saying that, Jerry and the other nobles also said goodbye and left with smiles on their faces.
"I didn't expect this little girl to be so violent. You should let me know in advance and I won't mind cooperating!"
Looking at the convoy gradually going away, Nalant murmured.
Immediately, he led everyone and set off again, heading back towards the Storm Territory.
Ten days later, Nalant returned to the Storm Territory with smooth sailing.
"Sir, you have worked hard all the way and welcome your return."
Thomas and Mario got the news and met Nalant halfway.
"You two guys, why did you come halfway to greet us this time? How is the territory doing recently?"
Seeing the two of them, Narante asked.
"Sir, after you left, caravans from various countries have come to Stormland again, and our trade in Stormland has returned to normal!"
"But, a few days ago..." Thomas pointed to the sky as he spoke.
"Well, I already know about this matter. The arrival of this dark abyss is also expected. I also told you in advance. The citizens of the territory are not panicked, right?"
Nalant nodded, knowing that the emergence of the Dark Abyss Continent some time ago would definitely cause uneasiness.
"Sir, the people in the territory were a little panicked at first, and they all gathered in front of the castle. However, later, the young general told them what he had told them, and reassured the serfs that as long as the adults are there, the Storm Territory will be safe.
"
"The serfs heard a small comfort, and there were not many strange things happening afterwards, so the serfs' panic has calmed down." Mario immediately answered.
"Well, you two did a good job, but as time goes by, the continent in the sky will become bigger and bigger. You still have to pay attention to the emotional state of the serfs during this time!" Nalan
I especially complimented the two of them.
As time goes by, the dark abyss in the sky has gotten closer and closer to the sacred continent.
For example, it is now several times larger than the original one. It originally looked like it was only the size of a wooden basin, but now it is the size of a carriage.
In addition, speaking of the appearance of the Dark Abyss in such a state this time, it has indeed brought a lot of turmoil to the Holy Alliance.
Many serfs and civilians were already in panic, and some restless guys emerged at this time, secretly preaching the coming of the end.
In this way, he led many civilians to cause trouble, burned, killed, looted, and even attacked lords, causing losses to many nobles.
Of course, these civilian riots were not supported by high-end military force, and they were naturally suppressed quickly afterwards.
After those who caused trouble and secretly instigated the incident were caught, they were publicly executed one after another, which shocked many restless people.
Therefore, the appearance of the dark abyss in the sky this time is actually a blessing and a curse.
At least let the civilians adapt in advance, and eliminate some unstable factors in advance.
"Yes, sir, the little one will definitely pay attention!" Mario, the civil affairs official, responded immediately.
"By the way, are the prisoners still peaceful during this period?"
"Sir, the prisoners are very peaceful. They don't know that you have left the Storm Territory."
"And Little Bear is also working very hard according to your instructions. He patrols outside the castle and in the dungeon every day."
When Narant left this time, he naturally took precautions against these prisoners.
After all, it would not be nice if his hometown was taken away while he was negotiating in the Holy City.
Fortunately, with Little Bear's bluff, all the prisoners were at peace.
As for Duke Piccolo and the coalition commander in the dungeon, the news of Nalant's departure was not informed to them.
At the same time, shackles with mithril inscriptions jointly made by dwarves and goblins were installed on their hands and feet, making it difficult to escape from prison.
After confirming that everything was normal in the territory, Nalant quickly led the team back to the castle.
After returning to the castle, he headed to the dungeon without stopping.
"Everyone, are you still used to living here these days?" Nalant looked at everyone with a smile.
"Baron Nalant, are you out this time??"
The leaders are in pretty good condition. Although their hands and feet are shackled, they are still loose.
In addition, the food here in Nalant is very rich, which makes them feel a little happy.
Of course, everyone realized that Nalant might not be in the Storm Territory more than ten days after Nalant left.
However, with their hands shackled, the flaming bear patrolling the dungeon every day, and the three magic cannons placed side by side at the end of the corridor, these leaders did not move.
After all, since they can go back alive, no one dares to take risks.
Otherwise, once they really take action, at least half of their leaders will have to die before they can break through the dungeon.
"Yes, this time I was invited by Duke Michel of your Bach Empire to go to the Holy City to discuss matters regarding your redemption."
"As expected, you are not in the Storm Territory, but I didn't expect you, Nalant, to be so far away from the Storm Territory!"
All the commanders did not expect that Nalant would go directly to the sacred city.
"Narant, how was the negotiation place?"
In the next moment, the leaders' attention naturally shifted to the most critical issue.
"Well, to be honest, the Bach Empire is really stingy. The ransom I originally offered was too high for them, so they almost broke up with me."
"If President Theodore hadn't been there to mediate, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to go back."
"However, in the end, considering that you are all nobles of the Holy Alliance, I lowered the ransom conditions!"
Nalant spoke to the crowd with a sigh on his face.
The faces of the commanders were a little suspicious and also a little nervous.
"Finally, the Bach Empire is willing to use the three counties of North Burley as ransom, and I have agreed!"
"So, congratulations to you all, in a few days, when your envoy from the Bach Empire comes to complete the handover, you will be free!"
After a moment of pause, Narant finally told the result.
After hearing this, all the commanders finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay everyone, please cherish your time in the Storm Territory these days. After all, if you leave the Storm Territory, you will no longer be able to enjoy so many delicious foods!"
Afterwards, Nalant didn't stay long and left the dungeon directly.
After returning to the inner fort and taking a good shower, Nalant waited for Ruba, the chief goblin craftsman.
"My lord, you are finally back!"
"Well, Luba, how are you? Is the construction of the armored magic vehicle going smoothly?"
Narant invited Ruba to sit on the sofa in the living room very warmly.
Narant is very friendly towards talents.
"Dear Sir, during the time you left, the boys have completed two drawings, namely the rotatable turret and the steering device."
After Luba sat down on the sofa, his eyes became more respectful to the adult in front of him.
After all, Goblins in the past had never been treated so kindly by other races. Even those vulgar orcs who only knew how to burn, kill and loot looked down on their Goblins.
"Well, not bad. Two drawings have been completed. Are you encountering any difficulties when you come here now?" Nalant nodded.
It seems that with this progress, his magic carriage cannon is already stable.
The next step is to see if it can be covered with thick armor on the outside.
"Yes, Sir, the third drawing is to add wheels to the carriage, because according to what Sir said, the magic carriage must be covered with thick mithril iron plates. If the wheels are not strong enough, then the armored magic carriage will not run at all.
Can’t get up.”
"I just installed the new wheels the day before yesterday and asked someone to move some heavy iron plates to the carriage, but I found that even if the carriage added two more wheels, it still wouldn't work."
"Because the magic carriage loaded with iron plates is too heavy. Once it leaves the main road and goes into the wilderness, the wheels will immediately sink into the mud."
"Of course, it would be better if we didn't add those iron plates. The magic carriage could normally drive on the wasteland before entering."
Ruba spoke out the difficulties he encountered.
It turns out that a few days ago, his progress has advanced to the third drawing.
The third drawing is to add a pair of wheels to the magic armored vehicle to increase the load-bearing capacity of the carriage.
But after adding the wheels, the load-bearing problem was solved, but it was found that some softer wastelands could not bear the weight of the carriage, and the wheels, which were at least four to five centimeters wide, sank into the mud.
Although it is possible to expend magic crystals at all costs to increase the power of the magic armored vehicle, it will only allow the carriage to travel dozens of meters longer.
After running a few dozen meters, almost half of the wheels of the carriage would sink into the mud, making it impossible to move again.
“Would it not work even if the number of wheels and wheel width were increased?”
Nalant had naturally thought about this problem originally, but he thought that the magic armored vehicle he was going to build did not have the terrifying weight of tens of tons in his previous life, so he did not build any tracked road wheels.
After all, track road wheels are not only more complex in structure, but also more difficult to forge.
Now it seems that his method of cutting corners is not feasible.
"Yes, my lord, not even if the number and width of the wheels are increased."
"Okay, I'll go with you to the scene now to take a look!"
Afterwards, Nalant followed Ruba directly to the forging workshop.
Then he saw the ‘armored magic vehicle’ that was already taking shape.
At this moment, the interior of the armored magic vehicle has been basically completed, both in terms of power and turret.
As long as the wheel problem is solved in the next step, the iron plate can be covered.
Nalant first asked the goblins to try the carriage's turret, and found that it could indeed rotate 360 degrees, which met the requirements.
Immediately, he asked the goblins to pull the carriage to the outdoor wilderness, and then conducted a cannon test. The carriage's magic cannon also reached the ideal state.
Finally, Narant asked the goblins to test the problem that Ruba mentioned that the carriage could not walk on the mud.
Sure enough, when the empty carriage only had mana cannons, the carriage could still travel on ordinary fields without much difficulty.
But when several tons of iron plates were added, the carriage immediately began to sink into the mud and could not run very far.
"Honorable Sir, our last test was in this state!"
Ruba cautiously spoke to Narant.
"Well, this problem must be solved, otherwise the magic armored vehicle will not succeed at all."
Nalant touched his chin and nodded, knowing that his original intention of cutting corners was no longer an option.
"Don't worry, Ruba, the adults already have a solution!"
Worried that Ruba, the chief craftsman, would be worried about this, Nalant tried to reassure him.
"Sir, we can really solve it!" Luba's eyes lit up when he heard this.
He is also considered an outlier among Goblins, unlike other Goblins who only know how to eat, drink and have fun.
His greatest interest is forging various tools and mechanisms.
After completing the two drawings, Luba gradually became fascinated by Nalant's idea of a magical armored vehicle.
Therefore, he really wanted to build a qualified magic armored vehicle and wanted to see the final effect.
He felt that if possible, this magic armored vehicle would have a good chance of becoming a weapon tool comparable to a magic airship.
Because, although the magic airship can fly, its flying speed is too slow.
But the magic armored vehicle is different. Its speed can be as fast as that of an ordinary carriage. It also has thick iron armor and has many uses.
"Yes, it's just that in this way, the forging will become more troublesome. However, if the forging can be successful, please save me the trouble first!"
Nalant nodded.
Afterwards, he took Luba directly to the forging workshop and started drawing on the spot.
What he is painting is exactly the tracks from his previous life.
The tracks of the Konalant are different from the tracks of the tank. They use the segmented tracks of the snowmobile.
In this way, as long as the wheels of the carriage are divided into two groups, there is no need to change the steering device.
At that time, a set of track wheels at the front of the carriage can be turned like car wheels, while the rear can be directly fixed.
This is also to reduce the difficulty of driving. Otherwise, he would have to open a 'Lanxiang Excavator Training Course' to control the left and right using two operating levers like in his previous life.
Soon, Narant finished drawing the structure of the track wheels.
"Honorable sir, is this possible? Although several wheels have been added, these wheels have become so much smaller."
"Also, why are there different iron chains added under these wheels?"
The drawings of the track wheels can be said to be even more complicated than those of the turret. Ruba was immediately confused after seeing it.
"Luba, you don't need to worry about this. You just need to make all the parts above according to my drawings. When the time comes, I will personally teach you how to assemble them!"
Nalant couldn't explain it to them, after all, this was the first time this thing had appeared in this world.
Therefore, it is better to wait for the parts to be forged and let them see the real thing directly for a more intuitive experience.
