After Zhou Li told these knights the legendary and tragic life of Gerost, the whole audience fell into a long silence.
These warriors who joined the Guardian Shield with passion understand what Zhou Li means. A hero like Gerost who can be called a savior will be betrayed by people with bad intentions. This world has never been fair. You pay for it. Many times, the goodwill of others can only be exchanged for the malice of others.
"I'm not here to ask you to give up your chivalrous virtues. This is unrealistic."
Zhou Li looked at these warriors who had a little confusion on their faces. He knew that these people had admired heroes like Geralost for a long time, but the darkness behind Geralost made these people who always remained bright feel... fear.
"After you become a guardian knight, you are destined to maintain a righteous heart. This is not a bad thing. However, if you do not know how to adapt and advance with the times because of justice, then this is a bad thing."
Zhou Li stood up, walked to a huge box, opened the lid, took out a 60cm caliber heavy cannon, pointed at this weapon full of killing aesthetics, and said with compassion: "Think about it, what if back then Geralost has this thing, can those nobles harm him? Do they dare to harm him? "
At this moment, everyone was shocked, and then they felt a little reasonable.
"Think about it again, if there are thirty magic-guided micro-condensation disabled collapse devices hidden in Gerost's house, can those weird things break through his defenses? Can they get into his body?"
Seeing the bomb devices that could destroy three floors being thrown up and down in front of them, these knights felt some indescribable emotions boiling in their hearts.
"Of course, I'm not denying Geralost, because he didn't have these things but still fought off the monsters. This is an incredible achievement. But it is undeniable that if Geralost really has the support of these arms, and With enough supplies, he will solve the weird disaster faster and earlier.”
Putting the collapsing device aside, Zhou Li pulled out a standard burst rifle, loaded it, raised the gun, aimed at the target not far away and pulled the trigger. In an instant, fire splashed everywhere, and the muffled sound compressed by the sound array continued to sound. In the blink of an eye, the human-shaped target used for sword practice was torn into pieces and fell to the ground.
"In the previous training, I understand your feelings about gold coins and choosing to fight with a sword. After all, you think you can do this with sword energy, so there is no need to spend money to shoot bullets that cost one silver coin per magazine, right? "
Putting away the explosive rifle, Zhou Li blew the white smoke from the muzzle, then looked at the crowd and said in a loud voice: "That's bullshit."
"Is life important and money important?"
"Can't you tell which one is more important?"
Zhou Li threw the explosive rifle in front of everyone. The friction sound when this expensive magical firearm touched the ground made everyone's teeth ache. They looked at the weapon worth ten gold coins on the ground with distress, but they didn't know What to say.
"Sword energy is easy to use, but sword energy consumes your physical strength. The gravity array on this gun can even be used by a three-year-old child, and you can use it as if it is nothing. On the battlefield, you collectively use a round The suppressive force caused by sword energy may exceed the suppressive force of firearms, but firearms can fire ten rounds of volleys, can you fire ten rounds of sword energy in a short time?"
Facing Zhou Li's questioning, everyone lowered their heads in shame, while Don Quixote on the side had a thoughtful look in his eyes. They understand that sword energy may be more lethal and suppressive than these firearms. However, as long as the firearm has bullets, it can shoot continuously, but he cannot continuously use the sword energy, which consumes a lot of physical strength.
"What I want has never been a team of knights who mount their horses and charge with swords shouting for justice. That would treat you as expendables, and I feel bad about it."
Patting his chest, Zhou Liyi said sternly: "What I need is an elite magical army. You need to learn how to use firearms, learn to use collapse devices to blast enemy dense points, and learn to use various magic weapons." Use your weapons. Coupled with your strong physique and righteous heart, I believe you will become the strongest legion in this era."
In fact, the world has always had a strange attitude towards magical weapons. In other words, God's attitude towards magic technology is strange enough.
In this world, magic technology is a technology independently developed by human beings independent of gods, and the church's attitude towards this technology is also very ambiguous. They will not explicitly prohibit the use of magic technology, but they do not encourage anyone to use magic technology. This has led to the fact that the research and development of mobile weapons has never stopped, but most countries only deploy such weapons on a small scale, and do not even dare to let their elite legions use these weapons.
In his last life, Zhou Li had little contact with these matters, so he didn't know that the magical weapons in this world had reached this point. If Zhou Li hadn't come into contact with the arsenal during his trip to Yingnan, he wouldn't have realized the great potential of this world's magical weapons.
Therefore, after returning to Magnum, Zhou Li, with his free hands, began to focus on building a legion that combined technology and fantasy, and his favorite was the Guardian Shield. This legion has extraordinary willpower, extraordinary physique and extremely strong talent. The most important thing is that this team does not believe in gods and will not be hindered by unspoken rules.
"From now on, everyone, one hundred magazines will be empty, and no bullets will be left."
Patting the box next to him, Zhou Li looked around at the soldiers who seemed to have changed a bit, and ordered loudly: "As of nine o'clock tonight, whoever has bullets in his gun, I will collectively buy one for everyone in the same team. A feast worth fifteen gold coins. Others followed suit, of course..."
"The money will be deducted from your account, Sir Don Quixote!"
With these words, Don Quixote's healthy-looking face instantly turned pale. She looked at Zhou Li, who was listening with interest, and opened her mouth, wanting to say something. But when she saw Zhou Li's "believe me" look in his eyes, Don Quixote reluctantly swallowed and became silent.
Of course, these words also shocked other soldiers of the Guardian Shield. As Don Quixote's comrades-in-arms, they certainly knew that Don Quixote was extremely poor. She had no financial acumen to begin with. After acquiring a large amount of wealth, she invested all of it in the Guardian Shield. Everyone's military pay, treatment, and gifts from relatives increased several times, except for Don Quixote himself who did not retain any money. The next gold coin, or give yourself a salary increase.
This is an invisible war.
Thinking of the wallet of Captain Don Quixote who was living and eating at Zhou Li's house without any money, everyone suddenly became serious. They saluted Zhou Li uniformly and roared impassionedly:
"Promise to complete the mission!"
"That's good."
Zhou Li nodded with satisfaction. He knew that these people would not accept soft things or hard words, just this bit of moral kidnapping. He stretched, then looked around, and said a boring sentence,
"Just shoot where there is no one. It doesn't matter if you hit empty. What's important is that you get used to the sound of gold coins falling on the ground."
Then, Zhou Li crossed his arms and wandered away from the shooting range that he had transformed, and returned to his home. Don Quixote stayed behind, supervising the Guardian Shields with sadness, silently praying in his heart that he could save his life with only fifteen gold coins left in his wallet.
"Hey, old man."
Squatting at the door of his home, Zhou Li turned on the communicator purchased by Yingnan. When Magnum III's face full of old folds and wrinkles appeared on the screen, Zhou Li suddenly beamed.
"Why are you sending me a message at this time?"
The reason why Magnum III asked this was because the time when Zhou Li sent him the communication was so normal that it frightened him. After all, Zhou Li's favorite thing to do before was to send him messages in the middle of the night, and then bombard him if he didn't answer. Now, sending him messages at such a normal time was definitely not good at all.
"Look at you, why are you so scared?"
At this time, Magnum III's face was full of vigilance, and he almost had the words "get out of here after farting" written on his face. Zhou Li first exchanged greetings, then smiled and said to him:
"Brother did an experiment for you, do you want to hear it?"
"In no mood."
Magnum III directly rejected Zhou Li without even thinking about it. Although a good day ended the moment he saw Zhou Li, he didn't want his day to turn into a bad day.
Who knows what kind of abstract art Zhou Li would show him.
"You have to think about it even if you don't want to."
Zhou Li waved his hand domineeringly, then showed Magnum III the weapon in his hand, and then said to him with a proud look: "I'm done."
"What's done?"
Magnum III was confused, but when he saw the magic gun in Zhou Li's hand and the Legion Medal on Zhou Li's chest, he immediately understood what Zhou Li meant. The king, who had long had the idea of equipping his army with magical weapons, suddenly became very excited. He looked at Zhou Li and asked in a low voice:
"Did you equip them with magical weapons?"
"At least so far, there haven't been any strange movements from the gods. There have been no thunders rolling down the sky, and there have been no dangers from the hermaphrodites who came from nowhere to give me the magic device to popularize science. I feel like I've succeeded."
In fact, Zhou Li was able to obtain these weapons because of the secret encouragement of Magnum III. This gray-haired old man had started planning to use weapons to promote the improvement of the army a long time ago, when magic weapons were still in their infancy, but he was soon forced to terminate this action due to the strange aura and hints of the church.
After noticing that Zhou Li had begun to purchase magical weapons for hundreds of people, Magnum III quickly deduced that Zhou Li also wanted to hand over the magical weapons to his legions. After discovering this, Magnum III secretly agreed to all this and gave Zhou Li a lot of conveniences. Even Lin Zi and Ain didn't understand why so many people were willing to sell these weapons at low prices, and lamented that this demon The market for mobile weapons is indeed too narrow, and everyone wants to sell them off.
"Can it be promoted?"
Magnum III pondered for a moment, and then asked Zhou Li: "Even if it is not fully promoted, it is just promoted to a few key legions, can you help me?"
"Not sure."
Zhou Li shook his head, frowned and said to Magnan III: "You also know that I have a special status. They may just turn a blind eye to my legion. If it were your legion, I would I’m not sure if they will stop the promotion of magical weapons.”
"What about a roundabout way?"
After all, he was a king. Magnum III quickly thought of other ways, "For example...you became an instructor of one of my legions?"
"Okay, but are you relieved?"
A mocking look appeared on Zhou Li's face, and Magnan III understood what Zhou Li meant. If Zhou Li is really appointed as the instructor of a certain legion and is responsible for the training of this team, then within a month, Magnum III will be able to conclude that this unit can be abandoned by him.
He had seen Zhou Li's brainwashing skills before.
"Of course, I didn't call you just to mock you and give you a myocardial infarction."
After hearing Zhou Li's words, Magnum III, who had always been calm, almost cursed. Of course, Zhou Li didn't care about this and said to himself: "I can still give you a perfect solution."
"What?"
"Don't forget, you also have a goddaughter, my future replacement."
As soon as these words came out, a light suddenly flashed in Magnum III's mind.
Yes, Torea! Like Zhou Li, she also has a special relationship with the gods. Zhou Li can play well, why can't Torea?
Thinking of this, Magnum III was about to laugh and turn off the communicator, but suddenly realized another problem.
That's not right, Zhou Li is a traitor to the gods, and he is now on the same front as him. But Torea was different. The previous temptation gave Magnum III a deep understanding of this upright girl. He concluded that this girl was on the side of the gods. He could make her the second brave man to eliminate the disaster, but he would definitely Will refuse to help him build an army that God does not allow.
"Huh, do you think I sent you a message as a charity to help you solve your difficulties? Do you think I am a blue cat?"
Zhou Li sneered and looked at Magnum III, who had a somewhat troubled expression in front of him. He said, "I came to you today to tell you this news in order to make you agree to two conditions."
"First, I am responsible for the training consumption of my legion. Of course, I will hand over these training experiences to you and teach them to the legion you will form later. I will not hide anything for myself."
This condition did not make Magnum III hesitate for too long. He nodded and agreed. Anyway, he had also calculated the number of people and consumption rate of Zhou Li's army. Unless each of them fired a hundred magazines of bullets a day, he would not be able to lose anything.
"second."
Zhou Li, who was not excited because Magnum III was fooled, kept calm and said, "Give me Tolea."
"Give it now and I'll train her."
