Dennis's straightforward words shocked the wizards present, almost thinking that the other party was joking.
How could the musket pellets fall from the sky? Even if you are joking, this is a bit outrageous!
However, they soon heard Linn on the side nodding. "The production of lead bullets does not require much manpower, and there is no problem if they fall from the sky."
They made lead bullets using the high tower method that was popular in the eighteenth century!
All it takes is a building tens of meters high, a magic furnace on the top, and a large pool for catching lead bullets below.
When you need to make lead bullets, burn a furnace of lead water at the top of the tower, and then pour the molten lead directly from a high place. The molten lead will be in a weightless state in mid-air, and will spontaneously explode under the action of surface tension. It is spherical in shape and rapidly cools and solidifies into a spherical lead bullet during the fall.
In other words, the production of lead bullets uses the gravity of the planet as the hammer, and the liquid itself is shaped by tension. The whole process does not require manpower. As long as there are enough lead ore pipes, it can be manufactured in batches at an extremely fast speed!
And the Kingdom of [Hadra Tower] lacks everything except all kinds of ores!
In order to cope with this war, he directly built more than ten high-tower factories in the royal capital, and stored more than ten tons of lead ore. Among other things, he had enough bullet barrels for muskets!
This is also the advantage of having a city at your back. You don’t need to worry about supplies...
After Lynn's explanation, Sanchez and others were still confused. Although this method was very simple, the related principles were not so easy to figure out.
There is nothing wrong with objects falling naturally under the action of gravity, but considering air resistance, they should be elliptical or olive-shaped. Why do they fall into the water in the shape of a ball?
They had never observed this carefully before.
Raphael even extracted water vapor from the air on the spot and conducted a free-fall experiment on the city wall...
…
[Hadera Tower] Outside the royal capital, Adwell, who had been paying attention to the enemy's movements, immediately noticed the strange movements of the great wizards and immediately became vigilant.
"Are they making water flow? No, water droplets?" Arno also had a confused expression. With his vision blessed by divine magic, he could see the general movements of everyone on the city wall from a distance of two kilometers.
"Maybe it's some kind of magic kick!" a cardinal said speculatively. "It may also be a curse-type witchcraft!"
All the bishops have also become vigilant. In the past, when they led people to arrest wizards, their biggest headache was being tricked by various weird spells.
Adwell thought for a moment, but couldn't figure out what these people were doing. Out of caution, he raised his hand and cast a six-ring magic spell - [Heaven's Asylum].
An invisible barrier rose quietly, enveloping everyone present. The whole world seemed to be becoming illusory, as if they were separated from the world by a thin film. Looking from the inside out, it seemed as if they were across the lake. Those fish and shrimps swimming in the lake.
However, the imaginary attack did not come. The group of great wizards just created drops of water, and then stared at them falling to the ground, as if they were playing a ridiculous and childish game.
Of course this is impossible!
Now that we are in the middle of a war, the other party will never do something meaningless, it must have some deep meaning!
"These witchcraft weapons are really good!" While he was still thinking about Edwell, Arno focused on the battlefield.
The whole situation can only be described as one-sided. The total number of noble private soldiers who attacked the capital was 50,000. Now they have sacrificed nearly 10,000 people and still have not achieved any results. They are like straws in a wheat field. Rows of people fell while waving.
Arno had to put away his previous contempt for these wizards. They had also collected information about firearms, but now it seemed that they were much more powerful than expected.
Even if these noble soldiers had the dual protection of armor and divine magic, they could not completely block it.
Those artillery pieces are even more powerful. If hit from the front, no matter how thick the armor is, they will be crushed directly into pulp.
No wonder he could easily capture the royal capital and eliminate the kingdom’s church...
"When the capital is conquered, remember to leave a few alive. If you find out how to make it, it will be much easier to deal with those strange monsters in the future!" Arnaud suddenly said with a smile.
"These are all creations of witchcraft and devil's knowledge. It is best to destroy them all..." a cardinal next to him retorted with great dissatisfaction.
Watching and learning taboo knowledge rashly may cause unpredictable consequences.
In the past, there were senior officials within the Holy See who believed that some of the inventions and creations of wizards were very interesting and could be used. As a result, some priests and even bishops with weak willpower, after looking at the confiscated witchcraft notes, were actually possessed by the devil's knowledge. Bewitched and betrayed God's grace...
After that, in the operation to capture the wizard, the pages, notes, and spell-casting materials collected must be burned immediately, or taken to the forbidden library and sealed!
Evil gods and demons are very likely to have cast magic in those forbidden witchcraft knowledge, and anyone who reads it will definitely fall into the abyss!
"Aren't we going to take action yet? Lord Edwell?" Arnaud didn't bother to argue with these people. He turned to look at Edwell and asked.
If this continues, it is very likely that all 50,000 people will die here, and their deaths will be worthless.
Adwell did not reply, but asked rhetorically. "How are you preparing the kerosene?"
"This thing has already arrived!" A rich smile appeared on Arnault's face. With a wave of his hand, more than a hundred guards in silver armor transferred barrels of metal barrels filled with thick black liquid. Moved here.
This kerosene was discovered by a fisherman a few months ago. After an earthquake, a crack suddenly opened in the ground, and billowing black oil came out. As a result, someone ignited it, and the fire actually started. The half-moon is immortal.
The local fishermen thought they had opened the door to hell, so they notified the church. In the end, a cardinal took action and calmed down the fire!
After testing, it was found that this thing had nothing to do with the so-called devil, and there was no trace of magic. It was used as a sharp weapon in the war against cultists and strange demons, and achieved good results...
"But the range of the trebuchet should not be enough to throw the kerosene..." A bishop said with a frown. The artillery made by the wizards had a much longer range than the trebuchet, and could easily be hit.
"If it doesn't work on the ground, then it will work from the sky!" Arnault grinned. He already understood what Edwell meant.
