Within a week, driven by Alan's enthusiasm, her apprentices had come up with a primitive musket.

This is a hollow iron pipe filled with gunpowder at one end, and after the halfling test, this thing can knock the iron ball inside horizontally for more than 100 meters.

It was a bit of a small force, but it was an excellent start, and the halflings were greatly motivated, and under the leadership of Aroin, they threw all their strength into improving what they called the 'Burst Iron Pipe'.

At this point, Eren was not involved, not because she didn't want to, in fact, she was very interested in this creation similar to a goblin magic musket, but a new situation arose in the Holy Land, and she didn't have time.

In the past week, Luo Lin has basically upgraded his virtual soul in the inner hall of the Temple of Life, and he has already achieved some results.

On this day, as usual, he was concentrating on modifying the virtual soul computing unit, when he saw Alan walk in with a worried expression.

It seems that something bad is happening.

Rollin stopped what he was doing, looked up and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Good news, bad news." Alan held an iron pipe in his hand and rested it on the table.

"It's going to be finished so soon." Rollin didn't know about the success of the musket.

He picked up the iron pipe on the table with great interest and looked at it, one end of the iron pipe was sealed, and there was a small opening at the sealed end, to see the remaining drug marks on the mouth, this should be the ignition port. There was also a wooden tray on the iron pipe, and Rollin shook it with his hand and asked, "Is this ready to be held in your hand?" ”

"Yes. Those halflings found that the power of the explosion was not terrible, and it was safe to hold it in their hands and launch it. This made them ecstatic. And then there was this wooden tray. However, it has been blown up once before. It was a tragedy to kill a tester who was holding it and launching it on the spot. Alan spread his hands.

Such utensils. It's always dangerous, and she didn't stop it at the time, nor did she warn it in advance, just to make her apprentices more cautious in the future.

She pointed to the rudimentary iron pipe in Rollin's hand and said, "Actually, this is already the result of two improvements. But even so, after the iron ball flew out, it could only hit something within fifty meters with relative accuracy. Fifty meters away, the iron beads were nowhere to be found. ”

"Expected." Rollin touched the smooth inner wall of the iron pipe. Smoothbore muskets, what precision can you expect?

Although this musket is good, it is still rudimentary in the end, and in these worlds with gods and demons, muskets are not invincible, because of the rules, the power of various explosives is actually limited.

Without the added blessing of powerful fire magic, these muskets would not be powerful enough to pose a threat to the truly powerful.

Rollin placed the musket on the table and smiled, "The musket is good news. And what about the bad news? ”

Speaking of which. Alan sighed: "The bad news is that the God War is about to break out. Half a year later at the latest. ”

"Oh, how did you determine this time?" Rollin asked casually, and he began to fiddle with the virtual soul in his hand again.

Alan sat down in his chair, his finger in the air, the light flickered, and a three-dimensional image appeared, showing the situation outside the Holy Land.

It can be clearly seen that as the Holy Land continues to expand, the powerful abyssal creatures outside the Holy Land begin to migrate.

These powerful creatures, such as the Thousand-Eyed Tentacle Monster and other upper-level hunters, their bodies were so badly corroded by the power of the abyss that they could no longer be purified, and the result of entering the Holy Land was one word: death. So they had to flee.

As the sanctuary grew larger and more creatures fled, they became more and more agitated, and even creatures like the Abyssal Behemoths began to migrate.

In the video, the beasts appear furious, roaring, but forced to move away from their territory.

Soon, Rollin noticed that the abyssal creatures were not fleeing blindly, they had a fixed direction of migration, and they all rushed to the west.

Seeing this, Luo Lin somewhat understood: "They were summoned by the demon god? ”

"Yes, that's where the Demon God Temple is. The Demon God is gathering the creatures of the Abyss and preparing to launch a general attack on us. Allen's brow furrowed slightly.

Rollin was still looking at the image, and he soon noticed something more: "You see, these abyssal creatures don't seem to be willing to be summoned by the demon god, and they look very irritable. ”

"It's really irritating. But this must have been created after the territory was occupied and expelled, right? Alan has a different opinion: "Anyone who is kicked out of their home is not in a good mood. ”

Rollin still shook his head, he thought carefully, straightening out the thoughts in his head: "No, if they are expelled, then they should be more depressed and decadent. And the creatures of the abyss advocate the law of the jungle, just being expelled, it can only be said that the strength is not as good as people, there will be no such a big reaction, right, they are definitely not willing to be summoned, it must be so, otherwise, why didn't the demon god attack us at the beginning? ”

Luo Lin has always had this idea, that is, the demon god's control over the abyssal creatures is actually not very strong, the fact is very obvious, the demon god must have discovered their existence at the beginning, but he failed to entangle the abyssal creatures at the beginning, and destroyed the holy land in one go, but let the Tyrannosaurus rex challenge it alone, and as a result, the holy land developed and expanded.

This is not something that any demon god in his right mind would do, there is only one explanation, and that is not that he doesn't want to, but that he can't.

Alan took Rollin's opinion seriously, but she still couldn't figure it out: "But why? The power of the demon god has spread throughout the land of white mist, and it has deeply decayed the bodies of these abyssal creatures, why is there such resistance?"

She suddenly fell silent, obviously thinking of a possibility, she turned her head to look at Rollin, and saw that this mortal was also looking at her, and he seemed to have thought of a possibility.

"You speak first." Alan Dao.

Luo Lin raised his hand and wrote four words of light in the air: "The origin is not dead." ”

The origin, the origin of the land of white mist, the original pan-consciousness of this world. Although it was deeply decayed. Although he is terminally ill. But it's still alive, still fending off outsiders.

Seeing these four words, Alan breathed a long sigh of relief and nodded: "This is the greatest possibility." Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Land of White Mist to contain the existence of the goddess's faith. ”

She patted her forehead with some annoyance: "I should have thought of this a long time ago." ”

Needless to say, this is a very, very huge strategic advantage. Alan began to think about how he could use this to his advantage.

But here comes the problem again, Eren is not good at war, and before this, she has not even experienced a real war. The elf's one doesn't count. It was completely crushed and beaten by the goblins, and she was all thrown into chaos, and she was ready to give up the entire elven clan and Nodashir.

At this time, it would be really difficult for such a person who had no common sense of war to come up with a way to deal with it in an instant.

What's more, there are also authorities fans.

In the bureau, there is information in all directions, and we must always face the choice, there are real interests involved, and the so-called concern is chaotic. Chaos is obsessed, even if it is a god. It's also hard to break this rule.

So Alan thought about it, but he still didn't have a clue, and when he was distressed, he turned his head and saw that Luo Lin began to fiddle with his virtual soul again, and he still looked very leisurely, and suddenly felt unhappy, reached out and patted the table, and said slightly angrily: "Hey, do you have any ideas?" If so, it's time to fulfill the promise and serve me! ”

"Yes." Luo Lin smiled slightly, he had actually thought of a countermeasure a long time ago, and now this situation was a piece of cake for him, a former army commander.

In the fog of war, he had already cleared these obstacles and grasped the key points.

He picked up the rudimentary magic musket on the table and asked, "What do we have in the face of the army of abyssal creatures?" ”

"500,000 halflings and 50,000 giants." Alan Dao.

Luo Lin pointed to the image of the abyss that still existed, "If it is these forces now, as long as a third of these abyssal creatures rush into the holy land, they can successfully destroy the altar and defeat us." ”

"That's right." Eren must admit that the current combat power of halflings and giants is actually just average.

"So we're going to develop. Of course, this development cannot rely on the giants, but on these halflings. Imagine what it would be like if halflings had the technical power of goblins. ”

Allen's eyes lit up, and he said without hesitation: "You can definitely crush any opponent who rushes into the Holy Land into powder." Not to mention rushing into the abyss to destroy the opponent, at least we can guarantee that we are undefeated. ”

"Yes. It can be done. Luo Lin said: "But the current halfling can't do it, we need time to develop, this time is not a year or two, but ten or twenty years." ”

"That's true, but we're only half a year now, and that's not enough." Alan pondered, she felt like she had caught some key.

"Have you figured out how to do it?" Rollin asked with a smile.

Alan frowned and pondered, she looked at the influence of the creatures of the abyss, watched their relocation, looked at their restless demeanor, and vaguely felt that she had grasped something, but this thing was hidden behind the fog, always hidden by some of her habitual thoughts.

"What is this? What is it? What am I overlooking? Alan thought hard, and she turned to look at Rollin again, hoping that he would give her some hints.

Rollin was still fiddling with the Force component of the virtual soul, seemingly unconcerned, as if confident, Alan was discouraged for a while, and didn't want to think about it, and asked directly: "What should I do?" ”

Luo Lin smiled slightly, and said the second strategic proposal since the expansion of the Holy Land with a flat expression, he looked like he was chatting about some family things, and said casually: "The expansion of the Holy Land Domain, can you stop for a while?" ”

Yes?! Allen's eyes lit up, and these words pierced the film of truth in her brain like a sharp sword, and the fog of the entire sea of consciousness dissipated in an instant.

yes, why do you have to keep expanding and insist on driving the creatures of the abyss to the side of the demon god?

At this stop, everything was imminent, and the crisis like a sharp sword piercing the eyebrows suddenly melted away like ice and snow in the sun, and the whole sea and sky rose.

It's wonderful. (To be continued......)
