The battle between the Lampari Kingdom and the Malor Empire had already lasted for four months and the situation was completely out of people's expectations.
Most people thought that even if the Lampari Kingdom's strength was in the top three of the Sines, they were still a bit lacking compared to the two empires.
Since the Malor Empire could defeat the Kandla Empire, how could they not take down the weaker Lampari Kingdom?
However, the reality was that the Malor Empire and the Lampari Kingdom were losing. In just four months of fighting, they had already given up the Kandla Empire and the Lampari Kingdom's territory.
If it wasn't for the Malor Empire transferring large amounts of troops from their country and using their absolute advantage in numbers to stop the Lampari Kingdom's attack, the Lampari Kingdom might have taken a step forward.
In this battle, the Lampari Kingdom's army clearly showed that they were stronger than the Malor Empire's army.
The main reason for this was naturally the military magic machines.
The military magic machines that the Lampari Kingdom's army were equipped with, in terms of quality, power, hit rate, failure rate ….. and other aspects, they were all much stronger than the military magic machines of the Malor Empire's army.
This allowed the Lampari Kingdom's army to clearly show that they were stronger.
Other than this, what shocked people the most was that when the Lampari Kingdom attacked an important pass that was guarded by the Malor Empire that led to the Kandla Empire's northern provinces, they used a new weapon, the long range Magic Missile.
This new military magic machine could attack from several hundred kilometers away and had a very exaggerated hit rate. It was also incomparably strong, making it impossible for people to defend against it.
According to the battle report, the Malor Empire's garrison at the pass was equipped with the Rock Grade Magic Defense System that the Malor Empire's army couldn't fully equip, but they couldn't block the long range Magic Missile. The Magic Missile directly pierced through and destroyed the core of the Rock Grade Magic Defense System, causing the entire defense system to be paralyzed. Then the entire position was exposed to the artillery fire of the Lampari Kingdom's army and fell.
It was fine in other aspects, but this kind of long range Magic Missile that could attack from several hundred kilometers away and accurately hit its target, it filled everyone with a deep fear.
Think about it, even if you were sitting at home, there would be a Magic Missile flying at you at high speed. You couldn't prevent it and couldn't dodge it at all, so you could only wait for death. How terrifying of a thing was this?
Although the Lampuri Kingdom's side announced that the Lampuri Kingdom's long range Magic Missiles were only preliminary results and they didn't have that many Magic Missiles that could be used, so they wouldn't easily use them, how could anyone believe this?
The Lampari Kingdom dared to use this thing in battle and it had such good effects, it was clear that they had already researched it to a certain degree. How could it be like they said, it was only "preliminary research"?
The Lampari Kingdom saying that they didn't have that many long range Magic Missiles made it easier for people to believe.
If they really had enough, the Lampari Kingdom would have already used the long range Magic Missiles to flatten the Malor Empire's army, so they wouldn't need to use their army to fight them.
Another point of view was that with how powerful the long range Magic Missile was, it must be very expensive to make.
Even if the Lampari Kingdom had enough long range Magic Missiles, they wouldn't be willing to use them all.
But no matter what, the Lampari Kingdom had used this battle to announce their long range Magic Missiles, which made the other countries deeply vigilant.
There were even many people who secretly equated the Lampari Kingdom and the Malor Empire in their minds.
The Lampari Kingdom that displayed such a strong battle strength was enough to replace the Kandla Empire, becoming another empire on the Sines.
However, the good times didn't last.
After the Lampari Kingdom and the Malor Empire's armies had been in a stalemate in the Kandla Empire's northern province for two months, the Malor Empire suddenly announced that they had successfully developed the long range Magic Missile and now had the technology to launch it.
Everyone was stunned.
The long range Magic Missile sounded like a very high level technology, but why did the Malor Empire only need two months to develop it?
This was too ridiculous!
But the Malor Empire had used three long range Magic Missiles to destroy a position of the Lampari Kingdom's side in a battle with the Lampari Kingdom. They used facts to tell everyone that this wasn't fake at all.
A month later, the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom to the east had also fired several long range Magic Missiles in a battle with the alliance army to the east. They destroyed the Magic Cannons in the back of the alliance army, obtaining a large victory while also announcing the success of developing the long range Magic Missile technology.
This time, everyone was confused.
The long range Magic Missile technology, was it really that easy to develop?
If it really was like this, didn't that mean that in the future, there would be long range Magic Missiles flying over the Sines?
The new issue of the « Xinfei Magic Machine Industry Weekly » had answered this question for everyone.
In the article of the « Xinfei Magic Machine Industry Weekly », it explained in detail that the long range Magic Missile technology was based on the Magic Rockets that could send artificial health products into space.
Thinking about it from another angle, the Magic Rockets could send artificial satellites high and far into space. If artificial health products were replaced by powerful Magic Bombs, wouldn't they also be able to send them far away?
So as long as they did some research, the countries that could send artificial satellites could easily develop long range Magic Missiles.
This explanation made everyone come to a sudden realization.
Indeed, it was like the « Xinfei Magic Machine Industry Weekly » said. If one looked at it purely from a technical point of view, this long range Magic Missile was still lacking compared to the Magic Satellite Launch Vehicle.
Since they could send artificial health products into space, it wasn't strange to make long range Magic Missiles.
The only technical problem was the "guidance" word on the Magic Missile.
The reason why the long range Magic Missile was called a Magic Missile and not a long range Magic Rocket was because this thing could aim at a target from several hundred kilometers away and launch an attack on the target without any large deviation.
This was something that the « Xinfei Magic Machine Industry Weekly » didn't explain, but it did give a hint. It said that this precise guidance technology was related to using magic signal waves to detect things. This principle was similar to how artificial satellites could detect things on the surface of the earth from far away.
Although it wasn't clear, for most of the countries in the Sines, this was already enough.
Very soon, after the Lampari Kingdom, the Malor Empire, and the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom, there were several other countries that had a foundation in the magic machine industry that announced that they had developed long range Magic Missiles.
There were many people who were confused by this phenomenon.
The « Xinfei Magic Machine Industry Weekly » explained the long range Magic Missile technology this clearly, it was like they were deliberately telling the countries in the Sines to develop long range Magic Missiles as soon as possible.
But this thing was clearly developed by the Lampari Kingdom first, so it was the biggest advantage the Lampari Kingdom had over the other countries.
Now that the New Flyer was doing this, wasn't it destroying the Lampari Kingdom's advantage?
Why did the New Flyer do this?
What benefits did it have?
"Don't worry about those idiots.
Freya, are you prepared?
The Candra Federation's elections are about to begin.
Are the men on your side ready? "King Raymond asked Freya in the magical illusion.
"If you have time to worry about me, why don't you worry about the Malor Empire taking this chance to cause trouble?"
Freya rolled her eyes at King Raymond, thinking that this fellow wouldn't have spoken to her in such a questioning tone before. Was it because he had been a king for a long time that his attitude had gradually changed?
No wonder her father and aunt Agnes became like this. It seemed like the change in attitude brought by the change in status was very normal.
"You don't need to worry about the Malor Empire."
King Raymond never thought that a single question from him would make Freya think this much, but he still said with a smile, "I have already arranged an army in the north, it's enough to stop the Malor Empire's full attack.
Moreover, if the Malor Empire really dares to do this, our allies in the north definitely won't let go of this good chance. "
Freya revealed a faint smile and said with a nod, "The Malor Empire shouldn't be that stupid.
So if nothing unexpected happens, the Candra Federation's elections should go smoothly. "
At this point, Freya rolled her eyes and suddenly asked, "Raymond, do you regret it?"
"Regret?" King Raymond was surprised.
"Regret what?"
"Regret that when you agreed to create the Candra Federation, you didn't convince me to swallow the Kandla Empire for your Lampari Kingdom."
King Raymond slightly knit his brows to think before shaking his head.
"I don't regret it.
I'm very clear that our Lampari Kingdom doesn't have the strength to swallow the entire Kandla Empire.
If we do this, we will fall into chaos and we won't be able to develop as fast as we do now.
Mother said that the creation of an empire requires patience and a large amount of time. I'm still young, I don't need to be this impatient. "
Seeing the sincere expression on King Raymond's face, Freya nodded with a smile, "You make me think of a conversation I had with my father before."
"What did uncle Xu say?"
"I asked him before, since our New Flyer is this strong and even the two empires are afraid of us, why don't you want to be an emperor?"
"What did he say?"
"He said ….. his life is limited and time is precious. Creating a country and an empire requires too much time and energy, so he didn't want to waste it, so he wasn't willing."
King Raymond was silent for a bit before saying with a soft sigh, "Uncle Xu's realm really surpasses ours, he can actually treat the throne like dirt. I can't compare to him."
"Nonsense, there is no other man in this world that can compare to him." Freya gave a soft snort before revealing a smile.
"But looking at it from another angle, it has a different meaning."
"What?"
"He is already old, but you and I are still young.
So he doesn't have time, but you do and I do. "
Raymond's eyes lit up, but he didn't say anything and just revealed a faint smile.
