Magic Mech Wars Steel Torrent-Chapter 72 Report

This war has temporarily come to an end.

Due to the fact that the Kingdom of Rankou suffered over 13,000 casualties at one time, and there were also quite a few casualties during the continuous six hours of the decisive battle, the total number of casualties directly rendered two army groups ineffective!

The number of survivors in the Second and Third Army Groups in the western part of the Kingdom of Rankou was less than 3,000, and all the knight mechas at the forefront were destroyed! The number of survivors in the Second Army Group in the northern part was less than 5,000. They were originally sup

porting the battle, and only managed to retain a small portion of their troops because they didn't reach the front line.

Among them, the commander of the Second Army Group was severely injured on the spot by the energy released from the impact because he was too close to the strike range of the "Celestial Punishment". Even with the emergency treatment of the priests later, there was nothing they could do to save him.

Unfortunately, he sacrificed his life.

The Kingdom of Rankou announced its withdrawal from the war and publicly claimed that the Kingdom of Yaminik had used an unknown forbidden magic!

Because all the magicians and powerful warriors who survived at that time had neither felt the condensation of any magic power nor the fluctuations of any magic being cast.

By the time they realized what was happening, there were only a few seconds left, and they simply didn't have time to evacuate!

...

The Kingdom of Yaminik also made an urgent announcement at the same time.

The unknown Seventh-level magic, which was close to the Eighth-level, was suspected to have been caused by a soldier's illegal use of a magic artifact left by his ancestors. Currently, the incident is still under investigation.

Our country does not possess any strange, forbidden, and powerful area-based magic!

Although public opinion is somewhat unfavorable to them, thanks to this, the fifty "Nostalgics" are no longer important, and they have effectively covered up the aid from the Kingdom of Aivisu.

At the same time, the reasons they gave also have a certain degree of possibility.

At least in terms of credibility, it is much higher than the Kingdom of Yaminik itself possessing that unknown magic. Otherwise, if they directly secretly launched a few of those against the army groups stationed by the Kingdom of Rankou, it would be unclear who was actually the one being invaded.

As for Hardy.

Perhaps he will eventually get the reward he desires. After all, the merits he has achieved are real, and he did not cause excessive casualties to his own side. If he is truly punished, it will be difficult to convince the public.

Of course, it is impossible for him to receive a title, because a needs to be given to the Kingdom of Rankou.

In order to avoid their subsequent angry retaliation, it is naturally impossible to grant Hardy a title openly. Otherwise, he will also have a title similar to the "Mass Murderer of Ten Thousand People" corres

ponding to the title. Then, this title will be a humiliation to the Kingdom of Rankou!

So, are they worried that Hardy will change his story and cause a leak of information?

There is no need to worry at all.

He is a smart person. If he used an unknown magic artifact given by someone else and used it without being able to determine its authenticity. No matter how many enemies he killed, he would definitely be sent to the guillotine!

Only by insisting that it was left by his ancestors does he have a chance to live, and he might even receive a reward!

Even if he really acts stupidly, it doesn't matter.

Because there is no evidence that can point out who gave it to him.

Including that note, it is also a product made by special wood-based magic. I'm afraid that even Hardy himself doesn't know that when he wasn't paying attention, the note he had kept as evidence just in case had already dissipated into elements, leaving no trace at all.

...

In the Kingdom of Aivisu.

Angus, who went to provide assistance, has returned with his subordinates to report.

But one person is missing, and that is Sulian.

"Where is that little guy?" Caroline asked.

In Caroline's office, there was also a young man in military uniform with a certain military rank standing beside him.

"Report to General Caroline, Suman Lendel was personally taken back by Prince Ersha when we were crossing the Black Dariu Mountains," Angus replied.

"What do you think of this incident?" Caroline asked.

Angus was silent for a short while.

"If you have any questions, you can speak up first," Caroline seemed to have noticed something.

"Then I'll be blunt. I may not know much about Prince Ersha, but his grandson, Lendel, has great ambitions! He is very likely to pose a threat to the kingdom!" Angus said bluntly!

He was certain that Sulian was by no means an ordinary child!

"So what?" Caroline asked curiously.

"So I think that the unknown Seventh-level, perhaps it can be called an Eighth-level area magic, is related to Lendel!" Angus deduced.

"Oh? Did he say anything strange to you? Something related to that magic?" Caroline laughed.

"He didn't say anything related to magic. It was just some sensitive words about war and the kingdom. I still remember the general gist of what he said, and I can describe it if necessary," Angus answered truthfully.

"Hahaha, no need, no need. It must be some nonsensical words that the little guy said while trying to act like an adult," Caroline burst into laughter.

It seemed that in his opinion, Sulian was just a person with a adolescent delusion, someone who would have delusions like an ordinary child.

...

"But General Caroline..." Angus wanted to say something more.

At this moment.

"Commander Angus, I think you may have really misunderstood,"

The young man standing beside Caroline suddenly spoke up, smiling with respect.

"Who is this..." Angus was puzzled.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is a secretary I just promoted, Walker Harrimos, who happens to be a classmate of that little guy," Caroline said with a smile.

For some reason, there seemed to be some hidden meaning in his smile.

"Oh..." Angus nodded slightly.

"Little Lendel is really something. When he was only ten years old, he was already talking about conquering countries and such. Hasn't his childish delusion period ended yet?" Walker shook his head with a helpless expression.

This person, who was once called Big Brother Walker by Sulian, is now under the command of Caroline, the leader of the hawkish faction.

"So, don't take a child's words to heart. If that so-called magic is really related to that little guy, then Prince Ersha could have just left during the banquet last month and wiped out the king and other princes with just one shot, right?"

"Right, hahaha."

Caroline laughed heartily, as if listening to a joke.

If they had that kind of thing, as long as they eliminated the king and the other princes, with Ersha's current influence, wouldn't he be able to steadily inherit the new throne?

"I was indeed being too sensitive. I'm sorry, General," Angus said.

"It's okay, it's okay. You've been busy for so long. Go back and have a good rest. I'll approve a few days of leave for you," Caroline was still laughing.

"Thank you, General," Angus said at last and left the office.

...

As Angus left, Caroline's laughter gradually stopped, and his expression turned cold.

Obviously, everything just now was an act.

"Do you think that little brother you're still somewhat familiar with is the kind of person who would speak without thinking and say strange things in front of Angus?" Caroline asked.

"I don't think that a person who was able to hide his true grades in the military academy and continued to act low-key later would be so careless," Walker replied.

"Oh? True grades?" Caroline squinted his eyes, and the oppressive feeling instantly fell on Walker.

"Yes," Walker nodded, pausing slightly in his tone. Obviously, he felt the pressure.

But he quickly continued.

"Because of his age, I was very curious. And knowing that his grandfather is Prince Ersha, I also had the intention of getting closer to him. So I coincidentally found that he deliberately answered some questions on the exam papers wrongly, and it wasn't just once."

It could be a coincidence once. After all, a child might remember something wrong. But if a person who can usually answer questions correctly gets them wrong more than once during an exam, especially when that person already has excellent grades, then it's hard not to be suspicious.

"Is that so? That means he really noticed the intention of me deliberately sending Angus there?" Caroline couldn't help but grin.

Walker was stunned. The intention of deliberately sending Angus there was...

"Although Angus is under my command, he is actually a stubborn supporter of the royal power, advocating the idea of the stability of the royal family."

"This, Prince Ersha should be very clear about, and that smart little guy should also know."

"Obviously, those strange words he said to Angus were not just simple words spoken without thinking or a test to see if he could win Angus over. Instead, he used Angus's mouth to express certain attitudes to me,"

Caroline said briefly, also explaining to Walker.

"But isn't little Lendel afraid that Commander Angus will directly tell General Butler and the others?" Walker was confused.

"So what if he does?" Caroline retorted.

Walker was stunned for a moment, but soon fell silent.

Although the words that had just been said to Angus to show that Lendel was naive were actually instigated by Caroline.

But in terms of appearance...

"After all, he is just a twelve-year-old child. Even the words of a prince of this age cannot be considered credible in terms of authority."

"Even if they really guessed something, besides secretly guarding against Prince Ersha, what else can they do? Investigate a prince who has brought the convenience of magic-powered vehicles to the entire kingdom, voluntarily weakened his own military strength, and also donated military research resu

lts for free?"

"And all this is just because of a child's words?"

Caroline asked coldly.

"I was being foolish!" Walker said.

Caroline didn't continue talking. Instead, he rummaged through the documents on his desk.

...

"You said before, right? He expressed to you that he wanted to occupy the Kingdom of Yaminik and such?" Caroline asked while rummaging through the documents.

"Yes. On the day we graduated, there were exchange students from the Kingdom of Yaminik. Among them was a special girl of Handong ethnicity. We started this topic after that,"

"I still remember the exact words. It was: "The army I command will eventually conquer her country."

Walker still remembered this sentence because the impression was extremely deep.

"Handong ethnicity? Is this the girl?" Caroline found it from the documents.

Confidential files of the military academy - Nalin Thaitet.

"Yes! That's her. She's a very beautiful little girl with black hair and is easy to recognize," Walker nodded.

"She is now Lendel's classmate at Polar Star Academy, and she directly stayed at Prince Ersha's house during the summer vacation," Caroline said.

"This..." Walker was full of confusion.

Didn't he say he was going to conquer her country? Is this conquering her first?

"Surprised? There's more to be surprised about," Caroline laughed.

There's more?
