Blood Elf Monarch

"My Lord, you have come!"

When Tristan stepped foot into the O district, he saw that a part of the area had been covered in building materials; ladders, heavy tools, and piles of materials could be seen all around.

The professor's old research building could be seen as decently impressive, but it has now grown, taking over the street and half a dozen other buildings in its expansion.

In addition to the building materials, Tristan saw pieces and chunks of metal laying around. In the middle of the place, there was the charred metal framework and remains of what seems to be a few parts of the space knight's spaceship being surrounded by workers.

For his projects, Professor Emmet has employed hundreds of workers with different specializations, and half of them were the O district residents themselves.

"I am sorry for the mess my Lord, we do the best we can with the given time." The professor said politely.

Tristan nodded in understanding. Today, he came with a few of the elites from different divisions in Arcadia, and among them, Tobias and Illiana could be seen.

He gave a quick glance at the professor's group upon arrival, and was surprised to see his sister among them.

"Why are you here?" Tristan asked, bewildered.

As expected from her, Layla gave a mischievous smile and said. "Well, I have been here for at least a few weeks now, and you only just noticed? What did I do to deserve such an inattentive brother?" She asked dramatically.

Tristan approached her, placed his arm on her shoulder, and said. "My apologies, dear sister… You know that I have been… occupied."

"Yes, of course, I can see that." Layla nodded, but her eyes darted at the dark elven girl standing next to him, making her opinion of the topic clear.

Not wanting to have to discuss the details pertaining to that incident, Tristan glanced at the professor and quickly changed the topic.

"Show me what you have, professor?"

The skinny professor with the strange hair that seemed to stand as if frizzed by electricity nodded, and Tristan was escorted towards one of the large devices placed outside the building. The devices were both made of grayish metal and every so often, sparks of brilliant blue electricity shone from it.

There were two devices, one of them was the portable turret.

[Type 52 plasma Turret]

[Portable manned turret]

[Length 3.05 meters, Width 1.2 meters, Height 1.62 meters, weight 120 kilograms]

[Ammunition - superheated plasma]

[Rate of fire - fully automated]

[Effective range 185 meters]

They managed to secure 4 of these turrets from the space knights.

The other one next to these turrets is about the same size and has longer tubes. But it doesn't seem to have any facilities for manned operation.

"These are the rail guns they had installed on the ships. There were a dozen of them but we only managed to secure 6."

[Electromagnetic railgun]

[Length 4.35 meters, Width 1.1 meters, Height 1.82 meters, weight 210 kilograms]

[Ammo types 50 cm shrapnel]

[Rate of fire - 40 rounds per minutes]

[Effective range 550 meters]

"Both of these weapons would be able to blast through any of our current steels up to tier 3 equivalents."

Tier 3 weapons are nothing compared to it, so that meant, even the elven's best steel mithrils made by the finest blacksmiths would not be able to hold against the blast of those turrets.

It was no wonder the knightblades were easily destroyed by the rail guns in the attack. Tristan was even more sure when he remembered how the space knights immediately surrendered after he managed to secure those weapons.

The professor led them around the building to another side of a massive room, and showed a different kind of gun. This time about three times the size of the turrets and with a core that pulsed with energy at its center. Tristan recognized it as a part of the space cruiser's cannons.

[Ion blaster - the disintegrators]

[Length 7.25 meter, Width 3.1 meter, Height 2.92 meter, weight 450 kilogram]

[Ammunition - high power Ion]

[Rate of fire - 2 blast per minutes]

[Effective range 3500 meters]

This was the cannon that managed to vaporize the palace walls and one of the Arcadian wizards to ashes in one shot. It has more than enough power to match any material the whole elven race possessed.

The professor had a hard time slavaging it because it needed a high amount of power, and the original power source was destroyed due to the battle.

"I managed to fix it but we don't have the necessary device to generate power to let it shoot in its most powerful mode. The power generator we took from another outlander ship could only shoot one blast with half its original power before the core is drained out. I will still need to find more adequate substitutes before these weapons can reach their original power."

Tristan knew this Ion blaster is the main weapon needed to destroy the enemies' ships, hence it is important to get it running on their optimal power levels.

He suddenly thought of something and inquired of Captain Siegfried of the space knights.

"Captain, your ship has a working power generator, I wonder if it could be used for this?"

Tristan then informed them of the location of the space knight ship that was buried under the sands. The professor nodded at his explanation, took note of the coordinates, and promised Tristan to send a team to help retrieve it.

Other than these three big guns, there are hundreds of handheld guns. The O district has started creating a firing team for the purpose of testing and using them and Layla was one of those chosen to do so.

These weapons were the same ones he took from the space knights' arsenal. If the wielder is trained properly, it would make a common fighter be able to defeat a kingsblade fighter. It was why the weapons from the space knights were seen as a valuable commodity and now it was his to use to defend the elven race from threats beyond their planet.

After showing the weapon, Professor Emmet asked Tristan for a bit of time and brought him deeper inside the building. In this place, it was relatively cleaner, and no tools were scattered around. Everything was placed in its proper places, presumably to prevent accidents. As they walked in, the professor explained that he brought Trisan here to show him something he managed to take from the space knights.

Something that was even more useful than the weapons.
