I Made Scientific Magic

  Chapter 388 It’s okay, I will personally take action to wipe out the enemies of the Holy See!

   "I have disappointed you this time, Your Majesty Lucia... I will look for other candidates." The Pope shook his head and sighed. This candidate is not so easy to find. Faith and talent are the key, but not all.

  In the past ten years, the only qualified person is Edwell.

Unfortunately…

  The Pope was thinking about it when Joshua, the presiding judge, stepped forward, looked at the saint of the Holy See, and saluted respectfully. "Your Majesty Lucia!"

  Saint Lucia put the dragon fruit she had eaten a few mouthfuls back on the altar, and said softly that they would ask them to change to another tribute next time, then looked at Joshua and said casually. "Looks like even you failed."

  Joshua seemed to have not seen the offensive act of the saint, putting the gnawed dragon fruit back on the altar, knelt down on one knee, recounting the results of the war like a monotonous machine. "The Imperial Fleet lost a total of 143 warships, and did not achieve any substantial results..."

  Listening to Joshua's report, Lucia's beautiful green eyes narrowed, and her tone became extremely cold. "Tell me, what's going on... As far as I know, most of the powerful wizards have already gone to the kingdom. Now the protection of the wizard's land should be unprecedentedly empty..."

The entire first fleet of the empire has more than 300 warships, all of which are the latest sailing warships. There are more than 80,000 elite troops of the empire and nearly a thousand priests on it. There is no difficulty!

  And what does it mean to have no results?

  So many people died, and half of the entire imperial fleet was destroyed, the opponent is still safe and sound, right?

  Even if a stupid camel is used as the commander, such a record cannot be achieved!

  Joshua spoke about his experience at sea. "In fact, before we even reached the land of wizards, we encountered barriers on the sea of ​​mist. Those wizards developed a new type of steel warship, which is conservatively estimated to be at least a thousand tons. More than three times the size of the ship..."

"Wait... A steel warship weighing thousands of tons is floating on the sea? It can still run fast. Are you sure you read it right? Isn't that some kind of visual illusion?" The Pope frowned and couldn't help interrupting the appointment. Shuya's words inevitably made him doubt whether the other party was telling an absurd story.

  How can a ship made of steel float on the sea and run several times faster than a sailing ship? This does not conform to the laws of the world!

   "I'm sure!" Joshua said firmly, and told the whole battle.

Especially the peculiar beyond-the-horizon tactics used by the opponent, relying on more than three times the sailing speed to keep with them for about one kilometer forever, and then continue to suppress them with powerful firepower without stopping, not allowing them to approach or chance to escape.

  This is the reason why the fleet suffered heavy losses but no gains.

   "This is simply a group of cunning hyenas!" The Pope said coldly, but trying to put himself in Joshua's situation, he couldn't think of any good way to break the situation.

Joshua has already tried to cast the powerful legendary magic, but those ships ran away in a flash, and they couldn't hit them at all. After half an hour, the steel ships would reappear from the mist and continue to fire at them suppress.

  It is not a good idea to let the flying cardinals chase after them, because they are not as fast as the steel warships, and they will only be consumed by rounds of shelling for nothing.

  Of course, the First Fleet would not be suppressed so badly, and the barrier of the sea of ​​fog is also very important. If there is no fog covering the entire sea area, the situation should be much better.

   "Afterwards, I planned to surround the fleet of those wizards at the cost of 30 ships, but their reinforcements came too quickly..." Joshua said regretfully, that was his only chance to severely damage the steel fleet.

However, after weighing the pros and cons, Joshua could only choose to retreat. He had seen this kind of alchemy creation suspended in the air in the secret report from the kingdom. It not only flew high and fast, but also had the ability to project to the ground. Hellfire's ability, if he insists on pursuing, except for him and a few cardinals, everyone may die there.

   This is undoubtedly a loss-making business...

   "It seems that we all underestimate these wizards." Lucia snorted lightly.

  In her eyes, the wizards hiding on that ruined island were just scabies, a group of rats that got into the hole, no harm to the overall situation, as long as the other party dared to show its head, it could be easily wiped out.

  Only those evil gods and strange demons outside the gate of time and space are the real enemies of the Holy See...

  So this time, after learning that the wizards had captured the kingdom, the empire sent two conquest armies to attack from both sides, in order to eradicate this threat directly in one go!

  But I didn't expect to encounter such a fiasco...

These novel weapons made Lucia feel extremely curious. She remembered that when Kasimo reported to her a few years ago, she did not mention this kind of steel warship, that kind of alchemy creation called an airship. Only twenty or thirty kilometers away.

  Now this value has increased by five or six times.

   All the new weapons seem to have popped up out of nowhere recently...

"Nowadays, most of the God's Punishment Army is still fighting those demons in foreign lands. Do we need to call them back?" The pope suggested that the threat posed by the wizards has reached the point where they must deal with it with all their strength. They must gather their strength. , Completely eradicate this threat!

   "No!" Lucia shook her head, "Those wizards do have some skills in group battles, so don't waste our accumulated elite power."

   "Didn't the empire discover a tribe of giants in the war against the western border two years ago? Since they don't have any magical talent, they should be used as consumables for this war." Lucia said in a deep voice.

  The giant has thick skin and great strength. With the blessing of magic and equipped with special iron armor, it should be able to withstand the attack of artillery fire and smash those iron boxes that can run.

   I just eat too much, and the logistics pressure is relatively high...

   "This time I will do it myself!" Lucia turned her face on and said solemnly.

   "Your Majesty Lucia, although those wizards are difficult to deal with, they are not so..." Joshua persuaded, and it was undoubtedly their incompetence and dereliction of duty to let the saints of the Holy See fight.

   "It's okay, this body has reached its limit, and it's just a good time to use it as a waste." Lucia said casually, and a cold light as if seeing a prey appeared in those star-like eyes.
