Chapter 501: The Birth of the Flamethrower
In the Holy Land, the conflict between the halflings and the giants became more and more intense, and this time, the halflings did not go against the grain, and they began to fight back
While the giant Grian slaughtered halflings in the name of hunting down the Brotherhood of Freedom, the giants were constantly being assassinated in areas with few giants outside of Leonardo Tower, the capital of giants.
The halflings of Leonardota also began to flee, and the minions of the giants fled from their masters, fleeing the city of madness.
What is the greatest skill of a halfling? It's an escape!
The halflings, who were once the lowest creatures of the abyss, the mud monsters, fled from Leonardota in one day, and almost all of the young and strong escaped, leaving only some old and sick people.
Most of these fleeing halflings gathered for the holy city of Sigvos. The most shocking sight they saw in Sigfors was the corpse of the giant.
Outside the city of Sigfoss, there are a large number of giant corpses.
There were more than 80,000 halflings in the city of Sigfors, but there were less than 3,000 giants, all of whom were killed by the Free Brotherhood in the city, and few giants escaped.
At this point, the two clans really tore their faces, and the killing, which was originally slightly disguised, directly escalated into war at this time.
Sigfoss City, the Temple of Life.
Allen's apprentices gathered in Eloin's room to discuss the situation in the Holy Land.
"Those ignorant giants have never looked down on us, it's time to teach them a hard lesson!" It was Albert, the firebomb expert who spoke, and as his knowledge and status continued to grow, his temper grew as much as the power of the firebombs he developed.
"It's not us who teach the lesson. Albert. We have disconnected ourselves from the mortal world. We should not meddle in this. The Brotherhood of Liberty is teaching the giants a lesson, and the corpses of the giants outside the city have been piled up into a mountain. It was Eloin's friend Monshika, a halfling who had a conservative personality, but also a cautious personality.
"Aroin, what do you say?" Albert looked at Eloin.
With knowledge that everyone would admire, and with the ingenuity of trebuchets and bursting iron pipes, this emaciated halfling man had become the leader of his apprentices.
Eloin didn't speak. He silently placed a finely structured iron tool on the table, and when everyone didn't know why, he said calmly: "This is a tool I designed, and the master blacksmith Mo Lun helped me to make it, and its function is to use magic to detect hidden flaws in the iron pipe, with an accuracy rate of 99.9%. And these. ”
With a 'bang', Eloin spread out a stack of animal skins on the table, with pictures and words on them, and spoke in great detail and clarity, even for ordinary halflings. Don't look at the words, just look at the pictures. You can also see a rough idea.
Everyone took a closer look and found that this was the most important component of the new burst iron pipe: the machining drawing of the precision iron pipe.
"The day before yesterday, the instructor explained the basic principle of the Eye of Truth, and also talked about the difference between the two Eyes of Truth in the production process. The teacher said, "No matter how complex things are, they are made up of the simplest things, and when they are separated, there is no mystery in the eye of truth." I was hugely inspired. With this in mind, I redesigned the processing process of iron pipes. Eroin didn't talk about the conflict between the halflings and the giants in the Holy Land, but talked about his achievements.
Albert reminded, "Eloin, the Holy Land is in chaos right now, halflings are dangerous, we have to do something!" ”
"It's not messy." Eloin looked around at his companions present and said calmly, "When I first got the news, I was also a little panicked. But then, I realized that my life was not affected in any way. The blacksmith's shop, the hydro workshop, and the tanning shop are all very quiet and no one disturbs them. Even our animal skin paper supply is more and the quality is better, and the new process invented by Mok is applied to it, have you found it? ”
Monshika nodded, "I found it." ”
Albert scratched his head: "Is that so?" I didn't pay much attention to it, but now that I think about it, it seems like so. ”
The rest of the crowd nodded their heads as they did.
Eloin smiled, "There is a force that protects everything we have, and the prestige of the temple is only part of it, and part of it comes from within our race. I heard that the Brotherhood of Liberty is now leading the rebellion, and I must say that the leader of the Brotherhood is a very wise man, and he did his thing well. And we, our task is not to mix in these chaos, our business is to design and build stronger and more weapons, so that our warriors can face the army of giants! ”
The apprentices were silent, and after a while, Albert came up and looked at Eloin's blueprints carefully, and asked, "According to your method, how many days do you estimate to produce a qualified iron pipe?" ”
Their current production time for a usable precision iron pipe is three days.
Eloin laughed, "You're asking the wrong question. According to my estimates, with my method, I should be able to produce how many precision iron pipes a day. I estimate at least 10. If the craftsmen are skilled, they should be able to reach the level of 30 sticks, right? ”
"So much? Impossible, right? Albert was taken aback.
"I can't say that either. Why don't you try it? Aroin laughed, and then he said to a halfling in the crowd, "Gray, you said the day before yesterday that you had a new idea to improve the burst iron pipe, did you come up with it?" ”
The halfling who was called by name stood on the periphery of the apprentice, usually obscure, silent, and very unpresence, at this time, seeing that Aroin still remembered what he said, his face turned red, and he walked over with a roll of vellum paper: "Get it out, this is my idea." ”
The vellum paper was spread out, and some rough and ugly blueprints were drawn on it, and the drawings drawn by Arrowin were completely two levels of existence, and when compared with each other, the halfling Gerry's face turned red, his drawings were too ugly.
Aroin didn't pay attention to this, he looked at Gray's drawings seriously, and when he finished reading them, he couldn't help but sigh and praise: "What a genius idea." The best thing is the setting of these fire mana patterns, which completely bundle the fire mana of the fire flask explosion, creating the strongest impetus. Oh, you were inspired by the flying thrusters your instructor said, right? ”
"Yes, yes." Gray nodded excitedly.
"Very good. I'm really looking forward to the power of this new burst iron pipe. Well, the name Burst Iron Pipe is so crude, it took us so much effort, maybe we should give it a nice name? Aroin laughed.
"Let's call it Boom Sun. Dry the sun down from the sky at once. Albert laughed.
"Not good. The sun warms all things, it is a great virtue, what does the sun do. Gray, what do you think it's called? Aroin asked.
Gray hurriedly shook his head: "This thing was first thought of by you, and you should name it." ”
"Okay." Aroin laughed, "I heard the Guardian's comment by chance, and he said that this thing resembles a musket. I don't know what the musket means, it's supposed to be a divine statement. Why don't we call it a flamethrower? ”
"Flamethrower? Sounds like a great thing. Albert nodded in aw.
This is the Guardian's statement, the power of the Guardian, terrifying to the extreme, every halfling apprentice has experienced it firsthand, and the rumors are even more terrifying, it is said that at the beginning of the Holy Land, there was an abyss giant beast invasion, and the Guardian slapped him and fled.
This kind of words that come out of the mouths of strong people, halflings instinctively feel power from them.
As a result, the blasted iron pipe was renamed the flamethrower on this day.
Soon after, the apprentices got busy, everyone wanting to see the power of this new flamethrower.
The blacksmith shop in Sigfors City began to be busy all night, and Aroin and the others spent almost day and night here, and after three days, the basic tools were completed.
In the name of the Divine Envoy's Apprentice, Arrown recruited thirty ingenious young men and began to build his precision iron pipes according to the process he had designed.
The construction work started at two o'clock in the afternoon, and by six o'clock in the afternoon, there were already 6 precision iron pipes completed, after testing, 5 qualified, 1 failed, and the quality was very stable.
The next day, the young people began to get started, and the work was much faster, and by 6 p.m., 20 qualified precision iron pipes were placed in front of Eloin.
"It worked!" Arrow's heart was filled with excitement.
The precision iron pipe is the core of the flamethrower, and if this thing is successful, the large-scale manufacturing of the flamethrower will be more than half successful!
The other halfling apprentices were also working hard, and Arrow's experience in making precision iron pipes inspired them, they also used this method of splitting and processing, and they all achieved good results.
Ten days later, news came.
The leader of the giants, Leonardo, appointed Grian as commander and assembled an army of five thousand giants to hunt and slaughter halflings outside the holy city of Sigvos.
The Brotherhood of Liberty formed a squad, and they invented a simple firing weapon, made of wood and string, that could shoot a pole with an iron tip more than 80 meters away. The halflings also got poison on the tips of the wooden poles and began to sneak up on the giants everywhere.
The giants can easily break the simple defenses of the halflings on the frontal battlefield, but there is nothing they can do in the face of this elusive sneak attack, so although there are not many dead and wounded giants, it is a very serious blow to morale.
It is said that the leader of the giants was so angry that he had already begun to plot an attack on the halflings of the holy city of Sigvos.
The situation is getting worse and worse.
Aroin and the other apprentices have already fought hard, resting only two hours a day, without resting during mealtimes, constantly revising the details of the flamethrower.
Every Goddess Apprentice wants the Flamethrower to succeed as quickly as possible and be mass-produced to help their race win this war.
Another five days passed, and the first finished flamethrower appeared.
There were no celebrations, just joyful smiles, and the apprentices couldn't wait to start experimenting with its power. (To be continued......)
