Chapter 1268 The hope of revival (It’s still light at 10 o’clock, the summer is so long)

After getting two magic mounts, Duanmu Huai left with satisfaction. On the other side, the open space behind the Stormwind auction house was tightly blocked at this moment.

"Is this the mecha that the adventurer took out?"

Varian stared at the four-meter-high mecha in front of him with a serious look, while the dwarf merchant stood beside him, not daring to breathe.

Duanmu Huai didn't know that it was actually the royal family who manipulated the transaction behind the scenes. In fact, as early as when they came to the auction house, the MI7 had been sending people to watch them. After Duanmu Huai and the dwarf merchant failed to trade, the MI7 agent immediately found the dwarf merchant to inquire about the situation.

After learning that the other party was willing to barter because he had no money on hand, the MI7 immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to investigate the other party's wealth. So they asked the dwarf merchant to negotiate with Duanmu Huai again to see what they could get in exchange.

Of course, the hot melt bomb is not acceptable. It is too powerful and it is difficult to put it anywhere. In the end, the agent still proposed a limitation that it has no military use.

As for the money for the two magic mounts, it was naturally paid through the royal family.

So on the surface, Duanmu Huai was trading with the dwarf merchants, but in fact he was doing business with the royal family.

Well, of course Duanmu Huai himself didn't care. Anyway, he just wanted to get the two magic mounts.

But Varian had more things to consider.

"How to use this thing?"

Varian had seen mechas before. After all, the dwarfs were best at engineering and had made similar things. It's just that this mecha was completely different from what Varian had seen before, which made him a little curious. Fortunately, there was an instruction manual in Duanmu Huai's mecha, and most dwarves were proficient in engineering. Even if they didn't understand the text, they could guess a little by looking at the pattern on it.

Hearing Varian's question, the dwarf merchant also hurried forward, and then pressed the button, and then saw the hatch behind the mecha open, revealing a space large enough for one person to stand.

The original knight mecha was not set up like this. During the Human Empire, the knight mecha needed to be controlled through the mechanical throne. And to operate the mechanical throne, the connection line of the mechanical throne must be inserted into the neural interface of the driver's brain and cerebellum through surgery.

Just think about it, you will know how troublesome this control method is, which is why Duanmu Huai has never paid much attention to the knight mecha and Titan.

It was not until Duanmu Huai got the sound and light control system of Gangbasta in the world of mecha wars that this changed.

The control method of Gangbasta is very simple and clear. To put it bluntly, it is a cylindrical control platform, and the driver can synchronize with the mecha as long as he stands in it. In other words, whatever action the driver makes inside, the mecha outside will make.

Isn't this better than the mechanical throne?

After that, Duanmu Huai replaced all the mechas of the Tribunal, including the Knight Mechas and Titans, with the sound and light synchronization control platform of Gangbasta. In this way, he only needs to put a puppet in the control platform to activate the mecha to attack.

And because the puppet is from Duanmu Huai's soul card, there is no need to worry about being contaminated and invaded by electronic demons like intelligent AI.

In fact, in order to guard against treacherous tricks and electronic demons, all the mechanical devices of the Tribunal are strictly speaking artificial. It's just that Duanmu Huai doesn't have so many imperial soldiers, so he can only use puppets instead. Of course, most of the time, puppets only need to do some basic work.

It is precisely because of this that Duanmu Huai will take out this knight mecha for trading. Anyway, all the equipment of the Tribunal under his magic modification is almost manually operated. As long as the Storm Kingdom can find enough manpower, even the destroyer can fly.

Of course, Duanmu Huai will not give the destroyer. During the Human Empire, Knight Mechs were often used to "maintain law and order" on many medieval civilization planets. Some planets even had a large number of medieval cavalry, with a few Knight Mechs placed in front to keep the peace.

If a college student traveled to a knight planet in the Human Empire era and saw that he was surrounded by unscrupulous medieval nobles who oppressed the poor, he would rise up and lead the rebels to the gate of the lord with his lifelong learning, ready to give the other party a little shock of modern civilization, but he saw a knight mech walking out of the other party's castle gate...

Tsk tsk tsk, it's really beautiful.

So Duanmu Huai doesn't care if this thing is placed in Azeroth.

Okay, back to the topic.

After the dwarf merchant briefly introduced the operation method, a knight loyal to the royal family took the initiative to stand up and act as the operator. Varian and others stepped back and watched the knight walk into the cockpit, and then the hatch slowly closed. After a while, everyone saw that the mech's eyes suddenly lit up, and then stood up directly.

Then the mech turned around and looked at Varian.

"Your Majesty."

"How does it feel?"

"Very convenient, Your Majesty."

The knight operating the mecha was very surprised.

"As long as I make a move inside, it can be completely synchronized with the mecha outside."

"Oh? Really?"

Hearing the knight's report, Varian's eyes lit up.

"Try it."

The next experiment naturally couldn't be done behind the Stormwind auction house. Fortunately, MI7 was not a pushover. Soon, the group brought the mech to a secret location nearby. Then the knight operated the mech and started a series of experiments under Varian's watch.

Of course, because Duanmu Huai was lazy and didn't install long-range weapons on the knight mech, now the knight mech only has chainsaw swords and flamethrowers.

But even so, the combat power shown by this knight mech still shocked Varian.

Its chainsaw sword can easily split the heavy walls of Stormwind. The jet of flames not only has a wide range, but even the stones are completely melted. Varian even specially ordered people to take heavy armor and large shields, but the latter was directly melted into a pool of molten iron by the jet of flames.

"He said it's used for logging?"

Looking at the red molten iron and the broken stone wall in front of him, Varian's expression was quite interesting, and Mathias, Reginald and others standing beside him were also speechless.

Strictly speaking, this thing can indeed be used for logging, and it is more efficient than ordinary logging sites.

"Does the Inquisition have such mechas?"

Varian turned his head and looked at Mathias, who shook his head.

"I saw some tall warriors wearing heavy armor, but I didn't see this mecha."

Since this thing can only be controlled by puppets, and puppets can't perform too complicated tasks, Duanmu Huai's Inquisition generally does not use knight mechas to assist Titans. After all, puppets have limited reaction capabilities. It's okay to use them to control heavy fortresses with high firepower like Titans. For single soldiers, it's more cost-effective to let the Dark Night Guard.

"But their logos are the same."

Mathias didn't need to say anything. Everyone saw the skull pattern on the mecha. Well, if they didn't know the Inquisition, they would think it was the logo of some undead.

After all, who would use a skull as a logo?

But after reading the Inquisition manual, everyone could understand this approach.

"So the adventurer is indeed from the Inquisition. Are they here to collect intelligence?"

"I can't tell at all."

Mathias shook his head helplessly. The agents of MI7 had been watching them for a long time, and found that these people mainly ate, drank, played and went to the market. They were no different from tourists. He also suspected that the other party was deliberately paralyzing him, so he ordered his men to tighten their nerves and investigate it clearly.

As a result, they found out in the end... Well, they were just here to play.

"In any case, this is an opportunity for us."

Varian stared at the mecha in front of him with excitement. Although most of this mecha has not been understood, at least from its performance, a knight mecha is almost comparable to an elite army!

The current Storm Kingdom is not peaceful, especially the threats of ogres and trolls in the south still exist, coupled with the civil strife caused by Onyxia's previous troubles, and the covetous eyes of the tribe army, all make Varian very nervous. He is now eager to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Storm Kingdom.

Not to mention the Dark Portal...

The appearance of the knight mecha gave Varian a glimmer of hope.

After the court mage confirmed that this was not a magical creation, but a pure mechanical product, Varian immediately moved his mind.

Since Duanmu Huai can take out such a thing at will, does it mean that... the Inquisition has more of these mechas to deal with?

Apart from anything else, as long as they can buy a hundred knight mechas, the combat effectiveness of the Storm Kingdom will be a leap forward!

After all, real war is not a game. In the game, players can fight to the death with a click of the mouse, and the soldiers can fight to the death until the last man.

But in reality, when you witness your companions being burned to death by raging flames or torn to pieces by huge chainsaw swords, and the opponent is an indestructible steel mecha, the blow to morale is devastating.

"Mathias."

Thinking of this, Varian made a decision and looked at the head of MI7 again.

"It seems that we have to send a delegation to the Inquisition to talk to them in detail."

"That's not a problem, but this side..."

"Let them go."

Varian thought about it and finally made a decision.

"Let the court mage open the portal directly and send them to Silithus. No matter what they want to do, at least it has nothing to do with us."

In Varian's view, at this stage, it is a good choice to build a good relationship with the mysterious force of the Inquisition. In this case, he will naturally not provoke Duanmu Huai. Besides, Silithus is far away in Kalimdor. Even if Duanmu Huai provokes something there, it will not affect Stormwind across the sea, right?

Not to mention, Varian now has a new goal in his heart.

Make Stormwind great again!
