Magic Mech Wars Steel Torrent-Chapter 7 Those Who Achieve Great Things
Chapter 7 - 7 Those Who Achieve Great Things
After a long journey of three days, they finally entered Prince Ersha's fiefdom. After passing through the strict checkpoints, Su Lian finally felt like he was home.
After traveling a short distance, they could see the workers laying the railway tracks, and the accompanying magicians were meditating and resting nearby. Judging from their skillful movements, it was obvious that they were all workers with more than a year of experience. However, even so, Ersha was
still expanding the recruitment of relevant workers.
However...
"How long do you plan to keep this a secret, Grandpa, or when will you report it to the king?" Su Lian asked.
What they were doing now had not been made public.
"There's no hurry. Prince Ersha's fiefdom is self-governing. Although some other people have heard a little bit of the news, in the end, they just think that Prince Ersha is building some strange roads on and off," Uncle Ryan said with a smile.
"Okay." Su Lian nodded.
It was Uncle Ryan who came to pick Su Lian up, and now they were in the same carriage.
Originally, Frost Blade Knights should have been sent, but Su Lian refused on the grounds that he was not a child anymore.
Mainly, he also knew that the Frost Blade Knights had now been deployed to various major areas where the railway tracks were being built to prevent any sudden appearance of magic beasts from accidentally damaging them. In case of any unexpected situation, Uncle Ryan's strength was sufficient to prot
ect him.
As for Uncle Ryan's answer, it was easy to understand.
Because all the railways that had been built so far were not connected at all!
They were all in the final stage of connecting the two ends. In this way, a certain degree of secrecy could be achieved. Since it was something strange being laid and there was no clear beginning or end, it was not easy for outsiders to come in and take a closer look. Even if they did, they wouldn't
have a clue. That's why there was the saying of "strange roads being built on and off" in the end.
...
When they got home.
Naturally, Grandpa and the others had already prepared a sumptuous dinner to welcome their talented child who had achieved success in his studies.
"Hahaha, Little Su Lian, I've missed you so much, Grandpa. Come here and let me see if you've grown taller?" Grandpa was the first to come out to greet them. Father Polley shook his head with a bit of helplessness behind him, and Mother was chuckling aside.

"I'm not a dwarf. How could I not have grown taller?" Su Lian said.
"I'm afraid your body hasn't grown much taller, but your ambitions have soared high," Polley said somewhat seriously.
"That's for sure." Su Lian smiled.
Mother Ivy's expression darkened slightly. In fact, she didn't approve of Su Lian's involvement in the military, and that he wasn't doing it just for the sake of adding luster to his resume. As a mother, she naturally didn't want her child to go to the battlefield.
"Let's have dinner. I'm starving. I haven't had a big meal for a long
time!" Su Lian noticed Mother Ivy's uneasiness and changed the subject.
"There must not be anything delicious in Ains Academy. This time, we've prepared your favorite dishes for you. Eat as much as you like, Little Su Lian!" Grandpa said with a smile.
"Really? That's great!" Su Lian once again acted like a normal child.
Perhaps only in this way could he make his mother feel better.
Just as they sat down, a clear cry came. Mother instinctively got up quickly.
Su Lian was taken aback when he saw this. Could it be...
"Hmph! You little rascal, I was going to give you a surprise after dinner, but now I have to tell you in advance," Father Polley said angrily.
"Am I going to be an elder brother?" Su Lian quickly understood.
"Yes. You went to Ains and didn't come back for a whole year. Your parents were so bored that they added a little one to compete with you for the family property," Ersha said with a smile.
Obviously, he was very happy about having one more grandson or granddaughter.
After all, because of Grandma, Ersha only had Polley as his son. Having one more family member naturally made him very happy.
"Is it a little brother or a little sister?" Su Lian asked.
"It's a little sister," Mother Ivy said as she walked over holding the baby.
Back in Mother's arms, the baby stopped crying.
"Let me see!" Su Lian walked over excitedly. A little sister. Although he also had a sister in his previous life, their relationship was actually quite ordinary.
"What's her name?" Su Lian asked.
"Savya," Mother Ivy replied with a faint smile.
Suman Savya.
...
Su Lian reached out to tease the baby, and the little sister was also full of curiosity about her elder brother, looking at him with her big, cute eyes.
"So cute. I suggest having another one!" Su Lian said with a smile.
Su Lian's words made Ivy laugh, and Ersha also smiled happily in his seat.
"Do you think it's something you can just get easily?" Polley said with an annoyed smile.
"Hehe." Su Lian also smiled.
It would be a great thing to have a little sister at home to keep Mother and the others company in the future.
After all, I won't stay at home obediently. I'm always ready to expand our territory!
...
After the pleasant dinner.
Right in the dining room, Ersha dismissed the servants. Besides Polley, Ivy who was holding the little sister, only Uncle Ryan was present.
Obviously, they were going to talk about important matters.
...
"The main railway lines in important places such as the mine area, the heavy industry area, and the port have basically been laid. In just one month, the two ends can be connected and opened at any time."
"The Magic-powered Vehicles custom-made secretly in various shipyards are also stored in the warehouse, and the subsequent materials have been prepared. They can be mass-produced at any time, and basically, the initial operation of each railway can start within three months."
"At the same time, the large amounts of steel, low-level magic element power cores, etc. that I sent people to negotiate and finalize overseas can be transported to our port by sea at any time."
Ersha said briefly, and at the same time, he personally set up a magic spell to prevent detection around them.
"You little rascal, we've made all the preparations for those ideas you mentioned before. But you also need to know that the finance of our fiefdom is starting to show a deficit. This situation can't be hidden for long. After all, what we've purchased are war materials."
Polley also said straightforwardly.
"Can those things be stored with the sellers for a while longer?" Su Lian asked.
"There's no problem for a year or two. After all, a large deposit has been paid. But if there are special circumstances, we can't guarantee it. It's definitely best to pay the final payment after transporting them to our fiefdom so that we can be at ease." Ersha said.
"Then there's no hurry. Anyway, our goal is to make the whole kingdom powerful, not to rebel. We just want to be the leader," Su Lian said with a smile.
"Your grandfather and I can understand this. If it can really be achieved according to your expectations, then our Kingdom of Aivisu will definitely be able to accumulate sufficient strength under this natural geographical advantage. At that time, we may even have the ability to capture a large area
of territory ourselves. But all of this is based on the feasibility of your expectations." Polley was still a bit cautious.
After all, Su Lian was still just a ten-year-old child.
"Father, not to mention my expectations, just the railway transportation that will cover the whole country at that time. The terrifying ability to mobilize materials and personnel is enough to set us apart from other countries. Didn't you and Grandpa also see the potential of railway transportation
and decide to take a gamble?" Su Lian said with a smile.
Polley still seemed a bit hesitant.
"Little Su Lian, sometimes I really think you don't seem like a ten-year-old child," Ersha sighed slightly.
"Those who achieve great things often show something extraordinary from a young age, don't they?"
Su Lian smiled and took out several test papers he had brought out from Ains Military Academy.
He had done the tests and graded them himself, and all of them were full marks!
Ersha was also slightly taken aback when he saw this.
That's right. In his previous life, Su Lian was already very excellent. Now, with his royal blood and much more effort than others, in fact, his achievements were far beyond what was shown on the surface!
Every time his written test scores were only in the top five, and occasionally he got the first place. It was just that he deliberately suppressed his scores! How could those who only thought about adding luster to their resumes compare with someone like him who was both talented and hardworking?
...
"You little rascal, stealing test questions from the military academy is a serious crime, you know!" Ersha said with a smile as he confiscated a few test papers.
Su Lian stuck out his tongue, shrugged, and smiled, as if asking, "Is that so?"
