Chapter 359: Threatening the King
Another half a month passed, and the first operation to clear out the alien beasts began, and the first preparation was more sufficient.
And unlike the first time, this time there were fifty guards in front of the road, and after the guards were soldiers with guns.
These guards were all sent by Angela and belonged to the royal guards.
Although the number of guards is not large, the strength is good, and the two third-order powerhouses are the leaders, and the rest of the people are also second-order powerhouses.
Because there are many places to employ people in the kingdom, these guards can only be requisitioned for two months, and after two months, they will be mobilized back.
Two months should be enough.
The role of these guards is not to fight the alien beasts, but to use their strong strength and sensitive senses to find out the potentially dangerous alien beasts, and then shoot them by the gunners in the rear.
Although the strength of the guards is not low, they are flesh and blood after all, and every battle will consume their body and strength, and they will definitely not be able to fight for a long time.
Musketeers are different, they use muskets to shoot alien beasts, and they can kill alien beasts in the most economical situation, and can fight for a long time.
This is where the advantage of the musket lies.
The number of strange beasts is too huge, even if Wang Xiaoming personally makes a move, he can kill a few in a day, dozens or hundreds, which is a great number.
And this harvest can be said to be a drop in the bucket for Wang Xiaoming's needs.
But the musketeers are different, hundreds of musketeers swept over, and they could kill all the strange beasts they saw along the way, even if they killed tens of thousands of strange beasts a day, it was not impossible.
As a result, there were guards in front and gunmen in the back, and with the cooperation of both sides, the casualties were reduced to a minimum. However, the attack and lethality have been increased to the extreme, and all the strange beasts that encounter them have only one end, that is, they are killed on the spot.
The corpses of these slain beasts will be taken away by the people and transported back to the city, and after being transported to the city, they will be disposed of.
And the musketeers don't have to worry about these little things, they can concentrate on fighting.
A team of 500 people was dispatched as a whole, a small team of 100 people, and five teams took turns to attack, each time the battle was fought. One team is responsible for attacking in the front, and the other four teams follow in the rear, which is also a proper rest, and then rotates, the team fighting in front retreats, and the team resting in the rear enters the front line to be responsible for the attack.
In this way, a team of 500 people can launch a steady stream of attacks.
The guards in charge of reconnaissance at the front, after seeing the attack of the musketeers. All were stupefied.
They are also knowledgeable people, but they have never seen such a dense and terrifying attack, and it is a continuous attack.
Although there are also long-range attacks in the Rolla Continent, the means of attack are relatively simple. There are only two ranged attacks: the Archer and the Mage.
However, whether it is an archer or a mage's long-range attack, there is a limit to the attack.
When the archer draws the bow, it is very difficult, and the more powerful the bow. The more force is expended when pulling away, and normally an archer uses his own bow to draw his bow and shoot arrows. If you can shoot a hundred arrows, that's considered powerful.
And the average archer will draw the bow and shoot an arrow twenty times at most, and it will not work.
Mages also have this problem, when a mage casts a spell attack, it will consume mana, and the greater the power of the spell, the greater the mana consumed.
When it comes to protracted warfare, mages are inferior to archers.
Mages and archers are actually more powerful than muskets, but muskets have an advantage that archers and mages don't have.
That is the protracted attack of the musket.
A musketeer, with plenty of ammunition, a musket of reliable quality, and plenty of body, to shoot hundreds of bullets, is to play with it.
After all, the amount of body it takes to shoot a gun is not comparable to that of drawing a bow.
Although there will be recoil problems when shooting, but in terms of the physical strength of humans in this world, that recoil is really nothing.
A well-trained warrior, armed with a musket, gritted his teeth and insisted on shooting for a day, there was no problem at all.
Whether it's an archer or a mage, if you want to fight for a day, it's simply impossible.
Not to mention fighting for a day, let them fight for an hour and give it a try?
Not to mention an hour, if it was a high-intensity battle, they wouldn't be able to hold out for half an hour.
And in order to save body or mana, archers and mages will not waste attacks when they are fighting, and they will look at it when they see the opportunity.
Wang Xiaoming's troops did not have this problem at all, they had enough pills, and there were five teams taking turns to attack, and their bodies were also very abundant, and they could fight at will.
That's why they're so powerful.
This kind of powerful firepower frightened all the soldiers who were in charge of cleaning up in front.
Their strength is much stronger than that of the musketeers, but in the face of such an amazing firepower coverage, they are also afraid in their hearts.
But after being afraid, their hearts suddenly warmed up.
Because Wang Xiaoming had already told them before that all the battles they participated in, after the battle was over, they could get a part of the dividends from the loot.
At the beginning, they didn't care about this dividend, because there were many of them, and everyone should not get too much dividends, but looking at the current scale of hunting, the scale is too large, and at the end of the day, tens of thousands of strange beasts can be killed, even if everyone can only get a little bit, but the base is too large, and the dividends in their hands will definitely be considerable.
In fact, it was also the case, and when the day of fighting was over and the rear said goodbye to the counted counts, everyone was stunned.
Depending on the results of the battle, each of them, the fighters who participated in it, could receive a hundred gold coins.
One hundred gold coins is definitely a large amount, according to the consumption level on the earth, one hundred gold coins is equivalent to one million, and one million dividends will be distributed in one day.
However, this is also normal, because after fighting on this day, the harvest is too great.
A dividend of one hundred gold coins. It's just one day, if they wear it here for ten days and half a month, it's not a thousand gold coins, it's really going to be rich.
After knowing the news, all the soldiers who were invited over became excited, and in the subsequent battle, they also worked harder.
And only the fifty soldiers who were invited to come over could have dividends, and the rest of the soldiers who fired did not receive dividends.
Because of these fighters who shoot guns. The private people in Wang Xiaoming's territory are equivalent to half of Wang Xiaoming's slaves, and their fate is decided by Wang Xiaoming, they only have basic salaries and treatments, and there are no dividends when they fight.
Even so, none of these warriors had any complaints, because this world was originally like this, and Wang Xiaoming was equivalent to their master's general cunning, and it was already very good to be able to treat them well. I still want dividends, which is something that no door has.
On the second day, the third day, the battle continued.
Just half a month of fighting. All the strange beasts around the territory were cleaned, and the entire territory was immediately cleaned and safe.
And after such a round of fighting, Wang Xiaoming's troops finally transformed from recruits to veterans. Their own combat effectiveness has not improved much, but their spirit and spirit are completely different, when facing foreign beasts. Never panic again, but become a seasoned veteran.
Sure enough, actual combat is the best training ground.
The troops completed their training, and Wang Xiaoming also harvested a large number of supplies.
After those strange beasts were cleaned up, the things that were useful to Wang Xiaoming were left, and all the useless things were shipped out and sold.
Wang Xiaoming only needed the beast gems on the beast, and almost all the rest were sold.
The whole body of the alien beast is a treasure, even if the gem of the alien beast is dug up, it can be sold for a lot of money, relying on these alien beasts, Wang Xiaoming made a fortune.
Another way to make money is to sell arms.
It's just that at present, Wang Xiaoming is still restricting this way of making money, and he doesn't think about how much money he makes from it, mainly to improve his status in the kingdom by selling arms.
At present, Wang Xiaoming only sells rifles and rifle cartridges, but even so, these rifles and bullets were secretly transported to Angela's hands, which shocked Angela.
Angela is not an ignorant girl who doesn't know anything, after seeing the power and operation of these rifles, Angela was stunned, and also saw the huge firepower advantage of these rifles.
You know, the training of any warrior is very difficult.
Not to mention those second- and third-order masters, they are first-order warriors, and they have also participated in rigorous training since they were young, and after more than ten years of training, they can become a first-order warrior.
The second and third order, or even the fourth order, it is even more difficult.
But how much time does it take to train a musketeer, especially Wang Xiaoming's rifles, which are not primitive arquebuses, but bullet rifles made directly in one step, an ordinary person only needs to train for three or five days to be proficient in the use of muskets, and three or five months of training can become a qualified musket soldier, and such a soldier, his combat effectiveness is comparable to that of a first-order soldier.
What kind of concept it is, and what kind of result it will cause, Angela knows too well.
This will change the pattern of power on the mainland.
If you had 10,000 of these musket soldiers in your hands, how powerful would it be?
Such a legion is simply invincible.
Moreover, the real advantage of musketeers is that they are easy to train, as long as they have money and guns, they can train qualified soldiers on a large scale in a short period of time.
Let's talk about another idea, if these muskets are equipped with existing soldiers, then these existing soldiers will immediately increase their combat effectiveness, and it is not impossible to sweep across the continent.
This matter was too big, Angela herself did not dare to slack off, and immediately secretly met her father with a musket, and let her father also see the power of the musket.
The king was also stunned by the power of the musket, and also saw the advantages and disadvantages of the musket, the advantage of the musket, which was definitely not comparable to the bow and arrow.
If all the soldiers of your kingdom were armed with muskets, how powerful would that be......
Thinking of this, the king's heart was already on fire.
The king's face suddenly became gloomy, this kind of manufacturing technology for making powerful weapons should definitely be in his own hands, how could it be left in the hands of outsiders.
How do you get the technology to work?
Thinking of this, the king's face became even more gloomy.
Seeing her father's face slowly change, Angela suddenly smiled bitterly, took out another letter from her bosom, and handed it to the king.
Angela said: "Father, this is a letter from Marquis Wang Xiaoming to you, you had better take a closer look." ”
"The letter he wrote me?" the king was stunned for a moment, then took the letter and examined it.
His face, which had been gloomy at first, became even more gloomy after reading the letter, and after a long while, the king let out a long breath, and his face softened.
Then he shook his head helplessly, a wry smile on his face.
What Wang Xiaoming wrote in his letter was very simple, but it was also very annoying, especially for the king.
Wang Xiaoming wrote in his heart that for the sake of safety, he had already hidden the recipes and drawings for making musket weapons in the Cindy Kingdom, and once something happened to him, the recipes and drawings would appear in front of the King of the Cindy Kingdom in the shortest possible time.
Relying on these drawings, the Cindy Kingdom can also make muskets, and the Cindy Kingdom is the feud of the Starlight Kingdom, and the two countries have been at war for decades.
Once the blueprints fall into the hands of the Cindy Kingdom, it is definitely not a good thing for the Starlight Kingdom.
This is the seven inches of the Starlight Kingdom, and it was hit by Wang Xiaoming at once.
And he also said in the letter that for his own safety, Wang Xiaoming can give up the territory and the castle at any time, but before leaving, the castle and the territory will be burned, but he also hopes that this situation will not happen.
Threats, that's naked threats.
But in the face of Wang Xiaoming's danger, the king really had no way at all.
If he doesn't take action, these muskets can still be purchased through Wang Xiaoming, but if he takes action, if the action fails, even if Wang Xiaoming is killed, and the blueprint falls into the hands of the Cindy Kingdom, then the operation is tantamount to failure.
The king was angry and helpless, and he knew very well that this matter was urgent, and he had to endure it.
However, the king also knew very well that he did not have to endure it forever, and that no one could threaten himself lightly without punishment.
Wait, wait until you have procured enough muskets, when you know the technique of forging, when you are well prepared, then it will be his time to die.
"How dare you threaten me? You're looking for death. The king thought to himself. (To be continued......)
