Chapter 343 Petroleum—the blood of industry, the source of power!
From heaven?
The bishops present also came to their senses after a short period of stupefaction.
The airships of the wizards did not take off, obviously because they were afraid of the power of the Griffin Rider, that is to say, they could follow the example of the opponent and use the speed and height advantages of the Griffin Rider to attack from the air!
"Devi, you will lead the team this time!" Adwell continued to ask.
"I understand, Master Adwell, I will never come back until I complete the task!" Devi put his right hand on his chest, and swore firmly, and then led a group of Griffon knights, wearing special cloth The wrapped kerosene rose into the sky.
"I will also meet these devil believers and try their abilities!" Arnaud couldn't help asking Adwell to fight, and he also took a share of fire oil to replace one of the griffins. Knights on a mission.
Hundreds of griffin knights rose into the sky, their golden hair shining brightly in the sun, like golden clouds.
"Be careful, those griffins are flying into the sky!" On the tower, Lynn emphasized his voice a little, and reminded him.
In fact, there is no need to remind, such a large movement cannot be concealed at all, and Raphael and others who are thinking about why the liquid always appears circular in mid-air are also forced to stop thinking, and Qiqi is ready.
When these elite troops start to move, it means that the Holy See is going to get serious!
In just one minute, those Griffin Knights had rushed to the sky above the capital, maintaining an altitude of about a thousand meters, constantly circling, and occasionally falling and diving for a certain distance, passing by about three or four hundred meters above their heads. It can be said to be provocative, and it also successfully interfered with the performance of the Musketeers.
Because no one knows when these Griffin Riders hanging in the sky will attack.
"Pyroblast!" Unable to bear the provocation, several wizards cast spells together after the Griffin Riders swooped down again.
Several fireballs soared into the sky and flew towards several Griffin Riders in the sky. Using the Mathematical Formula to calculate the enemy's flying position in advance, it can be said to be sure.
However, their plan was in vain. The Griffin just flapped its wings violently, then turned suddenly in mid-air, easily avoiding the flames and explosions, and then not only did not intend to take off into the air to avoid it, but lowered its altitude again. It flew over the sky, and all the wizards were so angry that they cast spells to fight back.
【Magic-Barrage】,【Ice Storm】,【Multiple-Pyroblast】...
Dozens of spells flew into the sky at once, but they wanted to rely on the advantage of numbers to forcibly knock down these flexible griffins.
It's a pity that Devi, who had expected it for a long time, commanded everyone to fly into the sky again at the moment when he felt the strong fluctuation of magic power, and all the magic fell into vain again...
Raphael hurriedly spoke to stop it. "Stop it all, don't waste your magic power and fall into the enemy's tricks!"
"Damn it, if you can use that magic, how dare these griffin riders be so arrogant!" Nancy muttered angrily to herself. Both she and Glenn had learned Lynn and Anthony's improved laser magic, but Lynn Don't let them use it easily, just say that the time has not yet come...
"Be patient, they don't have the guts to come over, if they get too close, they will be shot down by us, just pretend they don't exist!" Raphael shook his head and said.
The wizards on the tower were very upset but there was nothing they could do. Their magic couldn't span such a long distance and cause enough damage to the high-speed moving griffin.
The opponent is so flexible that he can't hit at all!
Devi led the Griffin Knights, and frequently provoked the wizards on the city wall in the air. After roughly assessing the safety range, most of the Griffins dispersed.
Arno did not leave, but fought with a small number of remaining Griffin Riders, aimed at the artillery placed on the city wall, commanded the Griffin below him to dive at an altitude of about 500 meters, and then slammed Throwing the ignited tarpaulin in his hand towards his target.
"Wait, what is that?" The sharp-eyed Glenn kept staring at the sky, and immediately noticed something was wrong.
"Fire, it's fire!" A wizard shouted loudly.
"Is it some kind of magic?" Looking at the fireballs falling from the sky, Dennis frowned.
"I don't know, but it must have something to do with those Griffin Knights..." Sanchez shook his head, his expression was very solemn, because the same scene appeared in every corner of the capital, as if it was raining fire in the sky...
"Magic enchantment!"
On the city tower, hundreds of official wizards cast spells together, and a ring-shaped magic barrier immediately enveloped their heads. The cloth wrapped in oil quickly disintegrated under the erosion of the flames, and hit the barrier, making bursting roars.
Part of the unburned black liquid stuck to the magic barrier above the head.
At the same time, a pungent smell reached everyone's noses.
Toxic gas?
Wizards who have studied poisonous gas magic noticed it after the substance invaded the barrier, and immediately closed their breath vigilantly.
Lin En quickly recognized the dark liquid that hadn't been fully burned, and his expression was both astonished and a little surprised.
"Wait...it's not...oil?!"
"Oil? What is that?" Dennis and others were at a loss, and it was another word they had never heard before.
"A very critical liquid fuel." Lynn answered.
What is petroleum? It is the blood of industry, the source of power, and one of the most important cornerstones of modernization. In addition to being used as fuel, it can also be made into plastics, asphalt, and synthetic rubber.
Although all the magic-power internal combustion engines are running in the wizarding land now, the hydrogen is transformed into hydrogen through magic power, and the gas explosion is used to provide power. The efficiency is much higher than that of liquid fuel, but the cost is a big problem.
For example, a crystal magic stone with a standard diameter, worth three magic gold coins, can only provide five days of flight fuel for the airship.
If it wasn't for the war, the parliament would support it regardless of the cost, and even used the magic stone reserves accumulated in the past, so it would dare to continue to supply hundreds of airships.
Once the process of magicalization is extended to the entire [Hadrata] kingdom, magic stones will definitely not be the mainstream.
Petroleum is a good substitute. He had alerted the kingdom's spies before, but oil exploration is not an easy task, so far no news has come back.
Lin En didn't expect to find traces of oil in this war, or it was directly used as fire oil. This is simply a waste of money!
