Chapter 36 - Armageddon (2/2)

”Good Work, contact the Army and the Manufacturing Department. I need to have at least two of these ready by tomorrow for deployment” said Glaze as he walked out.

”I will get it done, Your Majesty,” said Grant as he bowed.

Glaze had wanted to develop a sort of a tank but much more powerful than the ones in his world, with the use of magic these tanks could float so there was no friction and a need to worry about the terrain , these could go anywhere, even on water.

Azur Lamia was the head of the Lamia Family who had monopolized manufacturing of everything in this kingdom and was also the current leader of the new Manufacturing Department.

She banged her head on her desk when she heard Grant tell her about the manufacturing of the new tanks.

”By Tomorrow! How am I supposed to do that” she said as she banged the desk with her fist and rubbed her head which was red from the banging.

”The Army will be deployed tomorrow, we have no other choice,” he said as he laughed not able to read the mood at all.

She was overworked to death in the past few weeks with the upcoming war as the Manufacturing Department gave priority to military production, the Research Department would come to her every day asking to manufacture prototype after prototype.

She was sleep-deprived and exhausted as she realized they had to finish this thing by tomorrow.

”Let's go then” she sighed as she dragged herself from her seat and wore her long coat as they walked towards the Army Grounds.

Natalia was waiting with her soldiers as she saw the Manufacturing Department ȧssemble the new machine, His Majesty had named this thing Armageddon, while the name was terrifying she couldn't comprehend how such a thing could be terrifying enough to deserve such a name. She still believed that individual strength should be prioritized in the military.

The Manufacturing department after 12 hours finally finished constructing the entire thing.

It was made of pure solid black metal of the highest quality in the entire world as it was further strengthened with gold engravings. It looked like a long and wide mini-train than a tank as it had a pointed front to cut down wind resistance.

This solid chunk of metal with the glowing gold engravings released a terrifying pressure as it floated in the air and it looked like a long monster made of metal.

”The Weapons will take more time, we can ship them off to the battlefield later and they can be easily attached,” said Azur as she sat down a bench nearby and drank some water.

”So, let's test this,” said Natalia.

”We need someone in the Expert Stage to be able to manage this weight at these speeds,” said Grant as he adjusted his glasses and made sure everything was working.

”Robin, come here and test this,” said Natalia as she called for a Level 21 Expert Stage soldier nearby.

Robin gulped as he was chosen as the first driver of this machine, he walked inside and sat on the driver seat.

”You see that lever, you pull that to adjust your speed,” said Grant as he told him about the various controls.

”Alright, give it a try, don't worry, even if you crash nothing will happen to you, this is very strong,” said Grant as he laughed and patted the soldiers back.

”Easy for you to say,” said Robin as he sighed and closed the door.

As soon as he pulled the lever the Armageddon's back flowed with magical power as it burst with magic and sped forward instantly at the speed of 150 Km/h and crashed straight ahead into the training walls complete pulverizing it. The force of this huge hunk of metal which was extremely heavy traveling at this speed was terrifying. It crushed kilometers of forest cover before it stopped.

Natalia looked on with her mouth hung open as she sat how strong and fast the Armageddon was, ”This truly deserves its name” she said as she sighed and imagined this on the battlefield. ”If things like this can exist,” she thought as she had already started to create strategies in her head on how to use such vehicles in war and imagined the future of such a military.

”Oh, I forgot to tell him that the lever is very sėnsɨtɨvė and the acceleration is instant, haha,” said Grant as he laughed.

”Oye you old man, how are you just casually shrugging it off, what if it was pointed to the towards the city,” said Azur who almost choked to death drinking water as she watched the Armageddon zip through the city walls completely crushing them.

”Haha, I am sure the Construction Department can fix this in no time,” said Grant as he laughed and wrote down the results of this experiment as Azur got a headache from watching this lunatic scientist.

Meanwhile, Gerald Roosebell, who was the Head of the Construction Department sneezed at this moment.

”Hm, why do I have a weird feeling that something bad is going to happen,” he thought as he got ready to leave for the day and go back home and spend some time with his family when he saw his voice projecting crystal glow.
