Chapter 1278: 1278
A week later, Roland received two pieces of good news .
One was that Iron Axe had repelled the demons with the napalm and thereby held the demons back temporarily .
The commander-in-chief described the explosion of this new weapon in his letter in great detail . The blast was even more spectacular than the test . In fact, human beings had already used fire to repulse the demons back in the first Battle of Divine Will, where they had set the forest on fire at the rear . The massive wildfire raged for several days and dispersed the Red Mist in the sky, which, in the end, helped human beings gain a small victory .
The demons thus learned their lesson and destroyed the forests, meadows, and even farms to avoid future disruptions of the Red Mist . They also built small stone towers similar to outposts in the area covered in the Red Mist just in case . With sufficient Red Mist on the campsite, they could then keep fighting even when the rear was ablaze .
Without a doubt, Iron Axe and the General Staff were inspired by the previous battle and developed this plan .
The strength of napalm was its portability . It could burn in the thin air, and it was extremely hard to extinguish with water . Roland had not expected, however, that the fire would result in such a magnificent explosion in the whole city .
Roland wished that Summer could reconstruct the scene . If he could find out the reason why the explosion had occurred, he could possibly exterminate the demons using the napalm .
However, the Tusk City should have already been enveloped by the Red Mist again by now . It was almost impossible to get into the city for a second time .
Also, Roland's heart ached at the fact that he had consumed more than 500 barrels of napalm all at once . It was not hard to produce fuels, as he would simply need to invest more manpower . However, the key to produce napalm was to mix the slimes of the rubber worms with animal blood, and only the Ministry of Agriculture could farm rubber worms .
Nevertheless, the refugees from this battle were most important to Roland . Roland heaped praises on Iron Axe in his letter and also sent another 100 barrels of napalm to the front .
The second piece of news was that the plant assembling the"Fire of Heaven" had finally assembled the first biplane .
Roland immediately visited the plant in person after receiving the news from Anna .
This brand new plant was built at the same time as the Aerial Academy . Compared to the steam engine plant built with slabs and bricks two to three years ago, this plant was designed for technologically demanding products . The steel frame provided the plant with a spacious area, which enabled workers to assemble and repair a dozen planes at a time . The plant was equipped with adequate illumination devices . The floor was tiled with polished slabs, and the whole plant looked phenomenal .
Even Tilly was impressed with it when she entered the plant .
Lay men might view it as a palace .
Roland also invested the best equipment and hired many elites for the operation of this plant . He had sent the most experienced managers and workers, and equipped the plant with the third generation machine tools powered by electricity to meet the production need . As such, the plant consumed most of the electricity in the industrial zone . Thanks to the Mystery Moon devices, otherwise he would have had to suspend the operation of all the other plants to keep this one running .
In a way, this new plant displayed all the technologies developed in Neverwinter over the past five years .
Barov had told Roland that Neverwinter residents took pride in working here .
