Release that Witch Chapter 38: Firearm era
Iron Axe knows that it has been supervised.
The hunters participating in the test explosion that day were all moved into a two-story small building in the castle nearby. Looking out through the window, you can see a circle of stone steps fence, guarded by the entrance.
He didn't take any notice of this, and even felt that His Highness sent only two personal guards as guards, which was very cautious.
Until now, Iron Axe still has the roar of the test explosion that day. -- has never been so powerful as weapon. In the far south, he has seen the orange fire erupted by underground, which can continue to burn for decades; he has also seen the wind and waves that cover the sky in Endless Cape ... However, heaven's might is unpredictable, it is the mother of the earth or Poseidon's will is the iron whip that gods uses to punish all living beings.
But His Highness the Prince has stolen the authority of Three Gods by his own power and obtained heaven punishment power --. Although it is far from real thunder from heaven, it is no longer a realm that can be reached by manpower.
If the participants are still useful at Iron Sand City, their tongues will be cut off. Of course this is not the safest approach, only dead people will keep secrets forever. As for foreigners? They glanced at blasphemy. Forever impossible has foreigners joining to the core class of Mojin Clan.
The prince knows that he has half of the foreigner pedigree, and still allows him to see Heaven punishment fire with his own eyes, and plans to let him take charge of forming the hunter team. This trust made Iron Axe's heart surging.
In Iron Sand City, he has experienced countless betrayals and scams, and fled to Greycastle southern region. The pedigree of Sandpeople and the people of the mainland each made him suffer discrimination. In the end, he came to Border Town desperately and planned to rely on hunting After spending the rest of my life, I was unexpectedly favored by His Highness the Prince here.
He has no doubt that with this new weapon, His Highness Roland Wimbledon is bound to win struggle for the throne.
Thinking of the opportunity to serve King in the future, Iron Axe was excited.
"Everyone, gather downstairs!"
Iron Axe heard the sound, looked at the probe, and found that it was Chief Knight, Carter Lannis of Fourth Prince.
The first time he tidy up his clothes, walk downstairs, and stand upright in front of Carter. He also participated in the training of the militia team, knowing that His Highness likes disciplined and uniform troops. The other hunter was much slower, and it took about six and a half minutes for the six to line up.
"Old place, come with me," Carter didn't care much, and took a group of people out of the door and went straight to the wall.
It is still the location of the last test explosion, but this time no more cordon was drawn.
In addition to Roland, there were four Knight -- members, all of whom were Carter. Iron Axe noticed that while His Highness the Prince was playing with a strangely shaped metal stick in his hand, he was explaining something to Knight.
Seeing Iron Axe and his party, Roland came forward, "How about, do you still get used to living in a new place?"
"Thank Your Highness for your concern," everyone bowed and salute, saying that the new home is very comfortable.
In fact, the newly moved house is much better than the old house before. Iron Axe thought that at least there will be no wind and rain, and the roof is not made of transparent straw, but a whole simultaneously tile.
"That's all right," Roland nodded. "The current arrangement is for security reasons. You can move back to live after the end of Months of Demons. In addition, I have paid the first month's salary to your family. At the same time, at the same time, you can meet them once every weekend. Of course, it is accompanied by the guards.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness," the hunter said cheerfully.
This really made Iron Axe a little unexpected. Aside from the iron laws of Sandpeople, even the management of the Greycastle army should not be so lax. Could it be that this is because of His personal tolerance? He was a little worried, and in order to fight for the throne, he had to be cold and ruthless. --, he saw too much in Iron Sand City.
But when Fourth Prince said that it was time to test a new weapon based on gunpowder, Iron Axe immediately put these concerns behind. Without blinking, he stared at the prince and took the two iron rods in front of everyone.
"This thing is called" firearms "," Roland said, "Next, I tell you how to use it. "
...
Iron Axe only used one hour to fully understand the usage of the new weapon.
Pour the black powder -- that can attract Heaven punishment fire, that is, gunpowder, pour into the barrel, insert a lead shot, straighten to the end with a strip, and then pour gunpowder at the rear medicine pool. trigger.
Although he thinks that he has always been talented in killing, he can use swords, knives, hammers, axes, and spears skillfully, but that is also a skill that he mastered after years of training and actual combat. Master a piece of weapon in one hour, this speed is only comparable to hand crossbow.
The other firearms was delivered to Carter.
Chief Knight is also very interested in this novel weapon, so he would not let it go.
After a few rounds of simulated operation, Roland let the two people test fire and see the effect. The target was already prepared. A half-body plate armor supported by a wooden stick was erected by two other Knights at a distance of about thirty feet (about 10 meters).
Iron Axe and Carter use the shooting method dictated by the prince to level the aim and pull the trigger.
The loud sound of the first firing surprised everyone on the scene, and Iron Axe was no exception, but soon everyone's faces were left with surprise.
A small hole appears in the half-plate armor used as the target. The lead shot penetrated the thickest part of the forearm of the plate armor cleanly.
Iron Axe has carefully observed this armor before shooting. It is obviously not a cheap product created by a workshop. The mark of the forged hammer and anvil at the neckline proves that this is a standard armor from the Greycastle Blacksmiths ’Association. The thickest part of the edge is about half a finger, which is enough to withstand the direct crossbow from close range. To deal with this tin can, heavy crossbow, warhammer or halberd is the wise choice.
Compared in this way, the firearms, which is also easy to operate, is at least more powerful than the crossbow. And its reloading speed is comparable to that of a crossbow. With accuracy ... a 30-foot target can't explain anything.
"Your Highness, the yield of this thing ..." Carter asked.
"There are only two of them at present. When Months of Demons is reached, a maximum of two expenditures will be produced."
Iron Axe saw Carter breathe a sigh of relief. He can probably guess the other party's thoughts. If this weapon is easy to manufacture, only a few days of training can train a large number of quick "warriors" holding firearms into the battle. They are not limited in age, occupation, or even gender. -- can pose a huge threat to Knight even if they are weak women.
Although it is not as impressive as Heaven punishment fire, it is still a good weapon. Iron Axe thinks that the huge power makes it easy to kill some large and thick Evil Beast on the wall. If you had a firearms when you faced hybrid species then, the outcome might not be so embarrassing.
On the spot, only Roland is clear, this weapon really means.
He personally kicked off the Firearm war.
