Two days later, after resting, the samurai recovered and were summoned to the hall of the castle by Bai Xuan to hold the first meeting of the Red Stone Castle.

Attending the meeting were Kareth in charge of the armed forces, Winter Thunder in charge of government affairs and finances, archery instructor Luoshen, personal guard Moon Wind, master Thomas in charge of alchemy, Fili in charge of blacksmithing, as well as Wonsan, Fatu, Falcon, Du Ao, Leopard Sa, and others.

In the end, the five warriors had not fully recovered, and the falcon still had bandages on his arms, but there was no hesitation in his eyes.

On the second day of the Arena incident, Hakugen reconvened the samurai, demonstrated in detail how to use the grenade, and then told them that this would be the standard weapon for all of them from now on, and that other equipment would be gradually added.

The samurai were all boiling after experimenting with a few of them themselves, they had never imagined this weapon, and the scenarios of its use opened everyone's eyes to the infinite possibilities.

The result, of course, was that the borscht pigs in captivity in the castle suffered and were brutally tested by the poisonous hands, and a dozen plates of stewed elbows with black pepper and mushrooms were set for dinner.

"Grenades and other weapons that are still under development, although they are not magic guides, are actually inseparable from magic materials, which is why Master Thomas is sitting here. Bai Xuan looked around at everyone and said slowly, "And the Black Curse Forest is the only source of magical energy materials, so I'm going to form a hunting group, and the primary target is the Rift Beast." ”

"Karles, it's been two days since the scout team was dispatched, is there any news back?"

"Your Highness, I just received the news that the carrier pigeon brought back, the scouts have been looking for a long time with the large number of hunting groups that have poured into the Black Curse Forest, according to the information collected by all parties, the rifts basically only appear in four or five places, and the time is not fixed, at present, they are staying near the Cracked Stone Canyon, and have witnessed the battle between a hunting group and the Rift Beasts. ”

"The result?"

As a result, the hunting group was almost wiped out, and less than half of the people escaped, and now the Cracked Rock Canyon is almost a forbidden place, but there are still many hunting groups eager to try, and the forbidden land means that there is a lack of competition. ”

"Select the manpower first, prepare the supplies, and set off tomorrow, the Cracked Rock Canyon will be the primary target, so that the scouts can watch it closely, and return the news in time if there is a situation. Bai Xuan thought for a moment and added, "Let them pay attention to safety, and there will be no casualties." ”

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

"Winter Thunder, how are you talking to the Life Mage?"

He was reluctant to venture into the forest, but agreed to listen to the castle's call at any time, and if anyone was injured, he could only transport it back to the castle for treatment as soon as possible. ”

This result is not unexpected.

Life mages are scarce and will be treated as guests wherever they go, so it is very unwise to follow the party on an adventure.

"Someone else has talked about it too?"

"After talking, no one wants to, as for the mysterious dark phoenix, his whereabouts are uncertain, and he has not seen me. ”

For His Highness's request that the team be equipped with a life mage, Winter Thunder can't agree to it, because it can't be achieved, and the team can be equipped with military doctors and carry all kinds of magic potions, which can also play a great role in healing.

Of course, he didn't understand Bai Xuan's obsession with the safety of soldiers' lives, and Bai Xuan didn't emphasize this because the conditions were not yet ripe.

In fact, even these samurai themselves did not regard the safety of their lives as the first priority, and of course there would be a fear of death, but this is not the order in the concept.

The first thing the samurai emphasized was bravery and blood, and if they wanted to say that they were afraid of death, it was a coward's doing, and even if they would do it at the end of the day, they would never say it, and they would be carried out as the first priority.

Bai Xuan sighed, this matter was extremely important in his opinion, but he couldn't be satisfied now.

I can only think of a way slowly, and I can draw candidates from the royal capital later.

"Where's the hunting group?"

"Thirty people, with me as the regiment commander and Wonsan and Fatu as deputy commanders, divided into three squads, with the three of them as captains, and the logistics and baggage were additionally handled by five samurai and ten soldiers. "The men have been carefully selected, have some combat experience, and have been trained for two days according to your requirements. ”

"Very well, what about the equipment? Fili, Master, tell me about it. ”

"Conventional weapons are enough, thirty people, the current grenade is only enough for one person, some people two, I am trying to improve the way the shell is made, if you use clay molds, the production can be gradually increased. "Although the spring is the most difficult to produce, the amount of material required is very small, and a piece of steel can meet the use of half a year." ”

"As for the magic energy machine, it is being made in cooperation with the master, and I am trying to improve the design, I have already applied to the teacher to send two additional senior craftsmen from Que Rift City, and the teacher has agreed. ”

"So simply?"

"Because I wrote him a letter and gave him a grenade without a charge. Fili said with a slight trepidation.

"No wonder ......" Bai Xuan smiled, "It's a good idea. ”

"Your Highness rest assured, the teacher asked people to bring the grenade back as it was. ”

"A master is a master, and it seems that the wine I owe to the master will have to be made up as soon as possible. ”

"In addition, the design drawing, I have completed eight percent alone, and now the main problem is the lack of a barrel, Your Highness, is it so difficult to call?"

"Yes, the barrel. ”

"Because there is no tool to drill holes in the steel pillar for the time being, this will have to wait for the magic energy drill to be manufactured, and when the time comes, adjust the shape of the drill rig, then even the rifling should be formed at one time. Fili said.

"Fili, I must praise you, you are a genius forger, you will surpass your teacher. Bai Xuan's praise was heartfelt.

"Your Highness, you have won the prize. The dwarf blushed at once.

Except for Master Thomas, everyone else was basically confused, completely unaware of what they were talking about.

"Master, what about you?" Bai Xuan turned to Thomas.

"The current materials can make about five hundred pounds of explosives, cloud lead is enough for the time being, what is missing is magic crystal toner, thanks to the large box you gave your Highness, as for the other materials, they are very cheap, you can buy them directly from the market. The master said, "As for smokeless ammunition, I am improving it, and I believe that there will be samples soon." ”

"Master, I also have to praise you, you will become the most famous alchemy master on the continent. Bai Xuan also patted the master's ass sincerely.

No one here doubts that.

"This, Your Highness, you have won the prize. Master Thomas scratched his head.

"In terms of manpower, it's decided, but Kareth, you have to stay and guard the castle, everything in the castle is very important, and you can't leak anything out of it, otherwise you will be killed, and this important task will be handed over to you. ”

"How can this be done, Your Highness, I can't leave your side. Carres stood up suddenly.

Protecting His Highness is where his real duty lies, from the royal capital to Ember City, this is the main reason why he came.
