It seemed like only yesterday that all the ceremonies for the completion of the combat stage of the great experiment had died down, but before Counselor Bilir knew, nearly a month had flown by since then. The wizard seemed to have somewhat miscalculated his estimation of the amount of work that had to be done, but the job was done and everything turned out to be much more serious than he had expected.
- To mechanize the whole world? - Councilor Feurlis asked in a clarifying voice as Bilir burst into his office, with a rather confusing tone. Though his tone was as unemotional as always, the mage knew his old friend too well to miss the hint of skepticism.
- I know it all sounds crazy, but look, - said the magician whilst sliding a sheet of paper, looking like a strange formulae with indecipherable marks, into the Necromancer’s hands. - Initially, I hypothesized that these "mechanics" just made a big leap forward compared to our engineering technology. But, as you can see, this assumption turned out to be too naive, - the mage grinned as if he said something amusing,- And then I realized that they took a different path of technological development, that is fundamentally different from all our ideas about engineering science. From the point of view of scientific theory.., - the mage suddenly caught Feurlis's empty and indifferent gaze on himself, and immediately exhaled in disappointment after realizing that his interlocutor was not interested in his theories and hypothesis at all. - In general, if they keep the current rates of production, in 15-20 years the whole world will turn into a huge mechanical factory!
- So, we have time ... - summed the necromancer up briefly, causing an immediate storm of emotions on his interlocutor’s face. - Just kidding, - he added after a few moments, deeply relieved by how easy it was to manipulate Bilir's emotions, even after so many years of knowing him, - What's our plan?
- I need more knowledge. Books, blueprints, magazines, notes, - anything that can contain at least some information about their technology. In the meantime, it is necessary by any means to slow down their production rates as much as possible. Here! - the magician jabbed his finger at the bottom of a piece of paper, drawing Feurlis’s attention to a specific set of letters and numbers that resembled coordinates, - This should be their local production center, from where they redistribute capacity to less significant facilities. If it is disabled, this should slow down their plans considerably.
- It's a long way to go, - marked the necromancer by estimating the approximate location of the target on the map, - I will work on it, - he added and looked at the magician again, - Not a word to anyone about this discovery.
- But… - Bilir tried to protest in bewilderment, however Feurlis’s empty gaze instantly mixed up all the words in his head.
- Not a word! - necromancer repeated a little bit louder, - The Empire is already full of insane paranoids. We don't need an infestation of mechanophobes in our midst. I will speak with the Empress myself and ask her to give your research special consideration..
Obediently agreeing with the arguments he had heard, Councilor Bilir a bit carelessly collected all the papers that had been laid out earlier on the table and thoughtfully left Feurlis’s office. The necromancer himself plunged into thinking about how to "properly" deliver the information to the warlord.
Lords and Ladies! Imperial Intelligence has discovered a large production complex of mechanics hidden in the mountains. If we manage to disable it, then it can deal a considerable blow to the entire network of smaller complexes and give us an advantage in the fight against this enemy.
