"I have a good relationship with Master Gatlin and have had several conversations, so I have some understanding of the structure of the machine gun and its operating principles." Linn continued to explain.
"It's a pity that this weapon is too dangerous. If it spreads, it may make the war more cruel. Therefore, after it was developed, it was sealed by the [Arcane Society]. This old wizard also died in depression because of this. It was not reactivated until recently when it was necessary to deal with the Holy See’s war!”
Hearing this, Wilson felt somewhat regretful that such a genius who developed a weapon of war should have died like this.
He suddenly felt that this must be the most correct decision the [Arcane Society] had ever made. He simply could not imagine what the war would look like after this thing spread.
Even if they, official wizards, were pointed at by a machine gun on the battlefield, they might be beaten into pieces.
Wilson even doubted whether the dean would have been involved in the research and development of such a weapon of war. Otherwise, how could he know such detailed information and draw the drawings directly...
"If you can build five qualified machine guns within a week, then after this war, I will commend your achievements to the congressmen, and everyone who participated in the development of new muskets will receive a Morning Star Medal!" Lin En encouraged! said.
Most of the alchemists present were involved in the production and improvement of flintlock guns, percussion guns, and electromagnetic guns. It would be unreasonable not to give some rewards.
Hearing this, Wilson and others were very excited. The Morning Star Medal is undoubtedly what most official wizards dream of in their lives, and it is a great honor!
As for the more advanced Silver Moon and Sun Crown medals, they are usually prepared for great wizards and legendary wizards. The only exception in the past hundreds of years is Linn. They don't dare to hope to compare with this magic star...
Lydia was so excited that she could hardly contain herself. So she would soon become the first halfling witch in history to receive the Medal of the Morning Star!
With the glory they were about to receive as an incentive, the exhaustion caused by staying up late was instantly wiped away. After drinking another bottle of energy potion, the alchemists began to think about how to make this thing. come out.
Even though they have complete blueprints, the degree of automation of machine guns is not comparable to that of flintlock guns and percussion guns. There are many technical hurdles that need to be overcome, and one week is very tight.
Seeing the enthusiasm of Wilson and others that was about to overflow, Linn nodded with satisfaction. Once they had anti-aircraft laser weapons and several machine guns as their trump cards, they didn't have to stick to the defense and could switch from defense to offense!
Linn is very interested in the oil used by the Griffin Knights to set fires. In short, he has to decide on this oil-producing land!
…
At night, [Hadra Tower] Kingdom, outside the royal capital.
Amidst a burst of prayers and hymns, the ground shook violently, and earth walls more than two meters high rose up from the ground to build a temporary camp.
Several cardinals then worked together to create a magical barrier, creating a magical barrier that spread for several kilometers.
Due to the huge range of the magic, the protective power is very dispersed. Even a ring of magic can be easily broken. However, this thing is not designed to resist damage. The magic [Detect Evil] and [Life Perception] are applied to it. 】……
The former can detect fluctuations in magic power, and the latter can make some living creatures invisible. The purpose is to prevent those cunning wizards from sneaking in through deformation, invisibility and other means.
Once the magical barrier is attacked, the bishops and priests guarding nearby will arrive immediately.
The radiance of divine magic shed by the barrier gave some comfort to the coalition soldiers who had just experienced a tragic war. However, as soon as they closed their eyes, they would recall the roar of muskets and artillery, and the city wall soaked in blood. , has become an indelible nightmare in their hearts.
"People of God, the devil is walking in the world, and their evil minions occupy the kingdom, trying to turn the world into purgatory... There is no need to be afraid, and there is no need to panic. All of this is a test from God. Those who fight for God The victims have just returned to the embrace of the Lord ahead of schedule and will enjoy endless peace and joy in the kingdom of God..."
A pastor with a compassionate face loudly preached the faith of the Lord under the gaze of a group of anxious soldiers. A dozen pastors around him chanted prayers loudly to comfort the irritated coalition soldiers. them.
Compared with these cannon fodder, the golden griffons enjoy better treatment. The bishops personally take action and use divine magic to eliminate their fear of thunder magic.
The only ones who were not affected were the God's Punishment Army wearing silver armor.
Every member of the God's Punishment Army is an elite who fought in the blood sea of the mountain of corpses. He has witnessed his companions die tragically under the fangs of strange demons and giant beasts. It is commonplace to crusade and capture those dangerous wizards, so Although the siege at noon was extremely brutal, it was not enough to shake their minds and beliefs.
At this moment, in the center of the camp, under the guard of a group of silver-armored guards, a pure white tent was temporarily set up.
Adwyer is listening to reports of casualties from this war, many more than previously expected in the worst-case scenario.
The total number of deaths reached more than 23,500, and 117 gryphon knights and 200 God's Punishment Army died in the Thunder Web and the extremely fast missiles that can emit thunder. Under the alchemical instrument.
Listening to this piece of bad news, all the cardinals looked gloomy.
The result of the first battle can only be described as humiliation. Even in the war against the evil god in the past, I have never experienced such a disastrous defeat!
Poulson could not imagine what kind of uproar this news would cause if it were spread back to the Holy City. This is really an insult to the majesty of God!
In his opinion, there were such heavy casualties but no results achieved. It was entirely due to Adwell's incompetent command!
"We shouldn't have retreated in a hurry just now. Although the weapons of those wizards are powerful, they can never be maintained forever. The casualties of 20,000 people may have pushed these evil god believers to the limit! It's like a wall of insects and ants The gnawing dam will collapse with just a slight push!" Poulson said decisively.
He did not know how muskets and cannons worked, but no power is infinite and eternal except the Great Lord!
Strong power often means terrible consumption!
If at the most intense moment of the war, Edwell had forced the Griffin Knights to cooperate with them in the attack at all costs, perhaps they would have been celebrating their victory in the royal city at this moment!
