Colonial empires in a world ruled by elves

A troublesome captured weapon

After the battle of that town, the soldiers advanced towards the remains of the skeletons to be able to recover any kind of weapon they might have.

This with the intention of being able to seize them and be able to get information about them.

After some time, they rescued quite a few weapons from elven submachine guns to a kind of wooden sticks that had runes.

When they had everything ready, they cleared a large part of the land because they would take the weapons in a biplane as it was of vital importance that they be taken to the headquarters so that they could be analyzed quickly.

At the end of clearing a piece of land, a biplane descended and a female pilot got out, who was received by Alfons.

“Nice meeting you, Pilot Agathe. I hope you don’t mind that we load these weapons to be taken to headquarters.”

Agathe shook her head and made a military salute to Alfons. “The pleasure is mine Unterfeldwebel Alfons, because I believe that you are quite a personality in the army because you have not only achieved great feats.

But she is also a war hero, but I have to ask if any action is necessary to transport these weapons? “

Alfons looked seriously at Agathe. “We really don’t know what directions to follow, because we don’t understand how runes work.

However, according to the words of the headquarters, these weapons are completely useless until magic is infused into them.

At that moment is when they begin to be functional. Without magic, they are simply pieces of wood and metal that have no functional value.

Just please be careful, as we don’t know what the skies are like in this area, nor do we know if the elves are going to attempt another attack against us. “

“Rest assured, Unterfeldwebel Alfons, that I will take care of getting all these weapons to headquarters safely.

I just feel that you should be careful because we don’t know how the elves want to act. “

Alfons just nodded and ordered that the soldiers carried the wooden boxes towards the biplane.

Once they were boarded, Agathe put on her goggles and leather cap, before starting her plane to start her way to headquarters.

As she advanced in the sky, he noticed that there were some rain clouds, so she prepared himself as it would be a long trip.

After advancing for a few kilometers, the air base that was near that place had to stop in order to refuel.

After this, she returned to take flight, as she would have to be traveling by plane for approximately 16 hours to reach the headquarters.

On her way, she can see a lot of soldiers and machinery moving along the roads.

‘It seems that the construction of the train is advancing on a forced march. I am sure that once it is completed things will improve for everyone.’

After thinking those words, she continues with her flight simply observing everything around her and from time to time checking if she did not have an enemy behind her biplane.

After advancing for a few hours, she reached the headquarters where, once landed, she was greeted by some engineers and semi-elven assistants who took the wooden boxes.

When they took them to the laboratories, they analyzed them in order to know what the rune system of the new weapons that could create explosions of the elves was like.

One of the half-elves looked at the wooden staff with curiosity and analyzed it “It is a rather modest design that they made but I have to admit that it will work perfectly, the only thing that worries me is that it is very easy to do.

Although it seems that it can only be occupied five times before the staff self-destructs due to the pressure exerted by the magic runes.

Now I think we have to sacrifice one of them to do the tests of power that they have. “

After those words, the scientists, together with the half-elves, took a staff and went to a practice field where they placed some materials to be able to measure the penetration and destruction capacity of the runic staffs.

To begin with, they fired at a wooden wall that was located about 100 meters away. It was almost completely destroyed by the explosion caused by the baton.

The next point of fire was a wall that recreated the concrete bunkers. When they fired the magic of the staff, the wall suffered some damage, however it was not penetrated.

This brought some reassurance to the scientists, as they knew they could use reinforced concrete constructions to better defend themselves in case they were attacked again.

The last target for the test was an RK1 tank. When the half-elves fired towards the tank, they realized that although it did damage to the metal cover it had not managed to be deadly.

However, the damage it had caused caught the attention of scientists because it was enough that they would be fired two or three times in the same place to be able to disable the tank.

So they quickly wrote in their notes that the next version of tanks should be improved to be more resistant to the explosions that elven weapons could make.

For them, what had to be done was to create some metal plates around the tank to function as the first line of defense, although those are the mind were a temporary solution for the tanks already built.

But it was quite important that a complete redesign of the RK1 tank be implemented, to be able to guarantee that it could survive the attacks of the runic staff.

After that, they kept experimenting until they discovered that the effective range of the rune staff was only 200 meters.

So all that information was quickly disseminated on all battle fronts, so that artillery fire and suppression by means of machine guns were created to prevent the enemies from getting too close.

Also, from the assembly plants on the continent, humans brought hundreds of thousands of steel plates to be adapted to the RK1 tanks.

As an extra defensive measure, to prevent them from being quickly destroyed by the elves.
