"Actually, we like the design of this mechanism puppet very much. As long as the power core is wrapped entirely in dark gold, we can directly use the shadow energy to charge the core!"
Luo Wei'er said very embarrassedly.
"It doesn't matter who uses this thing. It's just a prototype now. The key is to have one thing!"
Wang Wei pointed to another piece of tattered drawings and parts thrown aside.
"If that thing were placed on top of this, it would be a real good thing."
Wang Wei put his arms around Luo Wei'er's neck and whispered, as if he was afraid of being discovered.
"Don't worry, my master."
Ravel smiled and pointed at the two card slots on the machine puppet's shoulders.
"Look, everything has been reserved. As long as the technical difficulties there are solved, integration will not be a problem at all!"

Isaac has withdrawn his troops from the border, but the four-nation coalition has never shown signs of leaving, so some rumors began to spread widely within the three countries. Although there are many versions of the rumors, there is only one substantial content, that is, the coalition forces actually
They are not here to help the three countries get out of the situation. Instead, they are taking this opportunity to carry out a bloodless war and take the fertile lands of the three countries as their own.
These rumors have noses and eyes, as if they are true. And among the four countries that have stationed troops, only the Dumas Empire and the Dumas Empire can be self-sufficient in food production. As for Verne and Hugo, although they are big countries,
However, since they are both landlocked and mountainous countries. Although it is not known whether it was the ancient arena or the Gray Dragon Mountains that caused the drought in the two countries, it is an indisputable fact that these two countries have always relied on imported food. And
A large part of the imported grain comes from the three countries along the Huilong River.
The Three Kingdoms occupy a huge fertile land, but their population is sparse. Years of war have left their population very small. Although the war has stopped for many years, as the last country on this continent that has almost disappeared from the war, its population is not short.
It will take a hundred years to recover. The population is small and the land is plentiful, so food has become their main output.
Although the rumors are just rumors, they will become reality if spread too much. In addition, the Four-Nation Alliance, which has always regarded themselves as superiors, does not pay attention to those three countries at all. Wherever the coalition goes, people
There were widespread complaints. Most of the food in ordinary people's homes was forcibly confiscated by the coalition forces as military rations, and the euphemistic name was to help defend against the enemy. The army did not pay attention when passing by the fields of ordinary farmers. A large number of farmland was destroyed, and the people
Dare to be angry but dare not speak. Later, it was reported that some coalition soldiers went to farmers' homes to steal food, and even rapes occurred. Some farmers were beaten to death by coalition officers because they did not cooperate with the coalition in delivering food.
.As a result, more rumors began to intensify in the country, and finally became out of control. People in several counties organized themselves into fierce conflicts with the coalition forces, but what happened to those farmers who were the opponents of the military?
At least two hundred people died in the conflict, all of them farmers.
The anger within the Three Kingdoms against the Allied Forces rose to the extreme in just one month! Unable to compete with the Allied Forces, some farmers simply banded together and headed to the Imperial City, where they all sat quietly in front of the palace to express their dissatisfaction. They did not eat or drink.
, and soon some seriously ill people died outside the palace.
The whole country was in chaos, and amid the boiling emotions, no one noticed why the rumors spread so quickly in a country with such inconvenient transportation.
So, what was originally just a rumor, and now combined with the uproar of atrocities by the coalition forces, the emperors of the three countries finally knew that if these foreign gentlemen continued like this, the country would go into serious trouble.
Regarding the fact that such a thing happened to their own troops, the emperors of the four countries said that it was absolutely impossible. But with hundreds of lives lying at the gate of the palace, the angry peasants almost did not take the step of besieging the incompetent palace.
The emperors of the three countries also expressed their confusion that the coalition forces would do such a thing. While trying their best to appease the farmers, they also continued to communicate with the coalition forces. Finally, the farmers agreed that the coalition forces would hand over the murderer internally, giving the farmers a satisfactory answer.
.But just as the peasants who went to the imperial city were on their way back to their homes, they were ambushed! Most of them died violently, but a very few survived. They struggled to return to their homes and told the news.
The whole world.
They suffered retaliation from the coalition forces! In order to prevent them from continuing to complain, the coalition forces actually wanted to massacre them!
I don’t know who was the first to announce this news. In short, this news swept everyone’s ears almost like a typhoon passing through.
And the entire continent was in an uproar.
Under the guise of helping to resist the invasion, the actual invasion was carried out. This handle was suddenly seized by the Tolkien Empire. Tolkien began to make a big fuss in the distant mountain council, and public opinion was largely inclined to accuse Verne.
They were labeled as invaders at the same time as Hugo. At the same time, their bloody and cruel methods and their disregard for the lives of the people of the other country aroused unanimous condemnation from international public opinion. Tolkien even made it clear that if the Four-Nation Alliance continued to fail,
If he withdraws his troops from there and returns to his country, and quickly compensates the other country, Tolkien will push for sanctions against the four countries in the Far Mountain Council!
Hugo and Verne are not the newly rising Isaacs. As an equally established country, they definitely do not have the courage to directly resist the sanctions, because the promoter of the sanctions is the Tolkien Empire, one of the founding countries of this distant mountain council.
.That is simply unbearable for two landlocked countries!
The coalition forces, which had no reason to stay, did not even fight a single battle. Instead, they provoked a bunch of lawsuits. The emperors of the four countries were even more angry. No one could do this for such a large-scale march to end in such an ending.
Acceptable. But withdrawal is necessary no matter what.
After ordering the withdrawal, Emperor Hugo was very puzzled. The news sent back by spies from Isaac indeed said that Isaac gathered troops in order to attack neighboring countries. And judging from the actual situation, Isaac had gathered three troops.
After the 100,000-strong army, a certain amount of troops were assembled in the other two territories, but the final result was not like this. What did Isaac want to do? Just to make fun of himself, he mobilized 300,000 troops to go back and forth along the river.
toss!?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Emperor Hugo did not believe that Isaac would calculate this way. Moreover, the results of the self-examination by the coalition forces also showed that what happened in the Three Kingdoms was actually far from that simple.
Forced requisition of grain certainly happened in the beginning, but it was far less serious than the legend said. It was the coalition officers who made the request to the local village officials, and then the village officials asked the farmers to hand over grain. Although some farmers were unwilling.
, but basically there has been no big ups and downs under the deterrence of the army. The army trampled on farmland did happen, and there is no way to deny this. However, under the coercion of some local officials, it seems that the farmers have nothing to do.
Ups and downs. But what followed was rumors spreading all over the place. According to military statistics, the places where these rumors first started were on the side of the border, and many of them were without forced expropriation.
The place.
But what happened next is very intriguing.
In some places, farmers jointly attacked military camps and forcibly snatched military rations. In this timid country, this kind of thing would definitely be suppressed by village officials. Later investigations also found that the original people in those villages
The village officials disappeared and were replaced by some passionate villagers, most of whom were young people. During the conflict, some villagers died, but according to the information from the investigation, it was definitely not as bad as the rumors said.
There were many people, and it was not like this everywhere in the three countries, just a small part. Later, the situation when the villagers organized and went to the imperial city to complain was even more strange. When investigated, the villagers did not know at all
Who organized them in the first place!
As for the later so-called massacre of complainants by the coalition forces, it was even more false and did not happen at all. However, the surviving villagers swore that it was definitely the coalition forces.
Emperor Hugo discovered that there was a certain man's shadow behind the whole thing. Once such an inexplicable thing happened, he didn't even think about it, it was definitely that man who was doing something secretly.
But now the international situation no longer allows them to argue. After all, they are the ones who have fallen into the quagmire in other people's countries, and Isaac, whom they have been criticizing, has already become an honest man!
Although he was very reluctant, the withdrawal had become a foregone conclusion. But Emperor Hugo didn't understand that what that man was trying so hard to do was just to cast a layer of dust on his international image at this time? It is simply meaningless, on this continent
Which country did not grow from aggression? Which country did not build its current glory with iron and blood?
As long as their international status remains and as long as their interests with other countries remain, no country can do anything to them!
