Magic Industrial Age

The next day, morning,

It was a beautiful, sunny time.

Inside the Lion Castle, which resembled ruins,

Loy, accompanied by Oliveira and Hoover the butler, navigated through the rubble and rocks.

As time passed, the traces of the great battle here had faded further, with scorched ground and craters of various sizes covered by a layer of greenery.

Those plants were extremely tenacious.

They almost ignored the terrain, pushing through the soil from stone crevices, rubble piles, corners, and shady spots, striving to stretch their branches and leaves.

Loy strolled among them, feeling a sense of 'the glory of a prosperous age is but a dream.' Regardless of victory or defeat, in the dimension of the long river of time, it was all insignificant.

This decadent thought was indeed somewhat negative. Loy shook his head, casting out all the complex thoughts.

Their speed was naturally very fast. The ruins could not hinder their steps. Leaping, they quickly arrived at the location.

Here, there was a broken stone tablet.

The stone tablet should have been very tall, more than three zhang in height, with an overall diamond shape, a dark black color, and no words, just standing there.

But now, it had been cut in half by a sword, causing the upper half to slide down and stick into the ground.

And the place that was covered was an entrance deep underground.

Although narrow and mostly buried, one could still see spiral stairs leading downwards.

If no one said anything, no one would have thought that this was actually the Raymond family's family cemetery.

The Raymond family's treasury had directly opened a corner in the underground world, and each entry and exit required the use of a magic array for teleportation.

But this family cemetery didn't need to be so troublesome. As long as one passed through the long, narrow staircase, one could enter the underground corridor of the cemetery.

It was cold, dark, and filled with chilling air, but every certain distance, there was a statue.

Those were the tombs of the Raymond family's past heads. The coffins behind the statues displayed the corpses.

This place was also a place that generations of Raymond family members had to visit. The stories and experiences of each family head were also content that all descendants needed to know and learn.

Don't think this is nothing. The family's spirit and style of doing things were shaped and passed down in this way, generation after generation.

Listening to these stories, they would think and imitate. In the future, even if they encountered something, they would instinctively do the same.

The Lion family's motto—brave, fearless, determined, heroic, and invincible—was passed down in this way.

Of course, Loy was considered a fish that slipped through the net of the family's traditional education.

Although Earl Karl Raymond was strong, his wife was also from a noble family and was known for her fiery temper.

Therefore, Loy, this illegitimate child, lived without worry but had never entered the Lion Castle.

Perhaps, before the disaster appeared, Earl Karl had never thought of letting this illegitimate child inherit the title of Earl.

But what was the result?

Now, the entire Norman Duchy recognizes him as the true Lion King.

Of course, Loy had no intention of clearing the passage and going down to pay his respects. He didn't really have deep feelings for the Raymond family.

Waving his hand, Oliveira stepped forward. He opened a box, took out Ignatius's head, which had eyes that wouldn't close in death, and placed it in front of the stone tablet.

Loy raised his left hand, infused it with magic power, and the Flame Cannon appeared. On it, layers of magic patterns lit up, eventually clinging to the magic core.

This was the second usage of the Flame Cannon, directly spewing out a fan-shaped, viscous flame to engulf the head.

This flame was not an ordinary flame. The extremely high temperature and viscosity caused the head to burn quickly, char, melt, and finally turn into a handful of skull-shaped black ash.

Oliveira stepped forward without hesitation, stomped down with one foot, and twisted it desperately, obviously hating it to the bone.

Loy lowered his head slightly, as if he could see the ancestors of the Raymond family, see the souls who died in this Lion Manor.

He was silent for a moment, then spoke: "Since I have inherited the Raymond surname and territory and become this Lion King, your hatred is mine."

"This time, consider it an initial interest payment. As for the rest, we'll have plenty of time in the future!"

After a simple sacrifice, Loy led the two away. Not long after they left, a gust of wind blew.

The skull powder turned into a vortex in mid-air, as if countless souls were tearing at it, eventually dissipating into the world.

And Loy's magic carriage went down the mountain road, further and further away, but did not go to Brussels City,

But went east!

There, was the location of the Lion Knights团's camp.

After 'isolating himself' for so long, the administrative affairs accumulated in Flower Collar were too numerous, and there were even more things that needed to be dealt with urgently.

It was conceivable how busy Loy would be in the next few days.

However, some things were more important than others, and the re-training of the knights was the top priority in his plan.

Therefore, as soon as he had time, he went to the knights' garrison.

He was really afraid that during the time he was away, these knight masters would cause trouble again.

There was a saying: people cannot betray their class.

Although this was not everyone's choice, most were like this, and the biggest resistance to reform in the entire Flower Collar was here.

Even though Loy believed that he had used the gentlest methods, it was difficult to say that there would be no problems.

However, what he didn't expect was that from a long distance away, he heard the roar of guns and cannons,

And even more knight attendants blocked the road, preventing outsiders from approaching the barracks.

In the past, there were naturally guards, but they were stationed at the entrance of the barracks. Now, even the road was blocked, which was a rare occurrence.

Loy naturally didn't need to come forward. Hoover the butler asked a few questions and figured out the situation.

Since magic cannons and heavy machine guns entered the barracks, a group of knights began to learn basic meditation.

At first, it was nothing, but later it became more and more lively.

Anyone with some magic power felt like something was missing if they didn't fire a few shots, sweep a magazine, or fire a few cannons every day.

Then, the sound of guns and cannons became more and more frequent, successfully attracting the attention of some people.

Brussels City never lacked various spies, both overt and covert, constantly probing for various news.

As soon as they moved, the family naturally knew. In fact, the best way now was to move the barracks to a more remote place.

The problem was that no one dared to make a decision on this matter except Loy.

The most ⊥new⊥small⊥say⊥in⊥six⊥9⊥⊥book⊥⊥bar⊥⊥first⊥release!

Therefore, Alfonso Zeke expanded the sentry post outwards and set up a checkpoint directly on the road leading to the barracks, which could also block most people.

As for the others, they could only be caught like mice, one at a time.

Of course, Loy's magic carriage naturally entered the barracks unimpeded and then arrived at the training ground.

Then, Loy saw a scene that left him dumbfounded.

In the past, the training ground was basically a huge square, with at most some training equipment and weapons, and a special racecourse.

But now, it had completely changed.

The first thing that caught the eye was actually a row of walls simulating houses. Although they were not real houses, the walls were made of red bricks and were two palms thick.

Except for the manors of some great nobles, ordinary residential areas were definitely not comparable.

Moreover, the distance between the walls varied, with wide places being avenues where horses could run,

And narrow places, only allowing one person to pass through, simulating the alleys in the city.

These walls were not connected, and from the outside, it looked like a maze.

But to be honest, those cities were nothing more than mazes for newcomers.

It is worth mentioning that there were many dummies placed in this 'city', some standing, some lying down, some hiding in various corners, and some secretly extending gun barrels.

This was actually what Loy had requested to make before 'isolating himself', in order to simulate the specific situation of street fighting with magic weapons.

However, his idea was good, but the gap came out in practice.

For example, the attacking side was obviously led by the Transcendent Knight Tania Anderson.

A Maxim magic heavy machine gun weighed at least one hundred kilograms, which was quite heavy.

If you add the ammunition chain, it would weigh at least one hundred and twenty to one hundred and fifty kilograms.

Ordinary people would use it on the ground, and continuous shooting would cause their hands and feet to become numb and their bodies to tremble; if they didn't have a lot of strength, they couldn't even hold down the barrel.

But now, those using it were a group of knights!

The lowest were Rank 2 Official Knights, full of muscles and brute force.

They directly held the magic heavy machine gun in their arms, and the ammunition chains were all wrapped around their bodies and waists.

Even so, they were still moving quickly, flying like the wind, and not affected in the slightest.

What was even more excessive was that although this world did not have bulletproof vests, it did not lack armor!

Most of them were still wearing full plate armor, looking like moving tin cans.

They set off from this side and charged forward like mercury pouring down, passing through street after street, and the Maxim heavy machine gun in their hands never stopped.

Those wooden dummies were all swept into pieces by a magazine, or riddled with holes.

Of course, if you insisted that they had no organization, you would be underestimating them.

Each group of three had almost no blind spots in the observation range.

When one side changed magazines, the other side would directly take over, almost covering the entire range with uninterrupted attacks.

The most excessive was the Rank 3 Transcendent Tania Anderson!

This burly woman was like a Tyrannosaurus, holding two heavy machine guns in her hands, shooting left and right, completely disregarding the recoil of the guns.

Relying on the fierce firepower, she charged straight ahead!

Sometimes, she didn't even care about the walls. When she couldn't find a way, she would lean against the wall with her back, suddenly exert force, and smash a hole in the wall.

Although she wasn't the only one doing this, she was the most relaxed and casual, and she liked it quite a bit.

In the carriage, Loy looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but rub his chin, speechless.

He swore that when he made this plan to simulate urban street fighting, it was definitely not like this.

But, if you were to say where the problem was?

It seemed like there wasn't any!

With the physique and reaction of Tania Anderson and these knights, doing this was too normal!
