"God, what did I see, witchcraft ......"

"It's horrible."

"I have never seen General Melle look like this."

The militiamen, who saw only a puff of smoke, thought it was a form of witchcraft......

After a long time, Melle looked at the split stake and swallowed hard.

He was sure that if this thing bombarded him, even the strongest guards in the kingdom would not be able to save his life.

"Melle." Jiang Feng looked at Melle in the distance and shouted.

Melle hurriedly turned around, and said in a trembling voice, "Yes, Great Chief Wizard. ”

"You can come back now."

Jiang Feng originally wanted Melle to clearly know the power of the flintlock pistol, so that he could be more attentive when training soldiers, and it seemed that the current goal had been achieved.

Melle stood still for a while before moving his stiff steps and walking to Jiang Feng's side.

Jiang Feng put the flintlock pistol in front of Melle and said, "Did you see the power just now?" ”

"Yes, great wizard, your sorcery power is simply too powerful......" Melle said tremblingly as he took the wizard's "crutch" with trembling hands.

If the lightning just now was a little crooked and fell on him, I am afraid that he has become a corpse by now.

"Which eye of yours saw me chanting a spell," Jiang Feng scolded with a smile, "Don't talk nonsense, follow what I did just now, and pick up the musket." ”

Muskets?

Is that the name of this thing?

Melle was stunned for a moment, and looked at the flintlock pistol in his hand.

He couldn't imagine anything other than sorcery that could split the entire top half of the stake at such a distance. If it's not the power of a wizard, it can only be the power of Thor.

"Pick it up and aim it at that stake." Jiang Feng said to Melle.

"Yes."

Melle shuddered as he picked up his musket and guessed something, but he thought it was ridiculous.

Under Jiang Feng's guidance, open the partition, load the ammunition, close the partition, pump the passbar, press the ammunition, and finally ......

Pull the trigger!

"Bang ——!"

The massive recoil hit the shoulder, caught him off guard, and almost lost control of the barrel.

I saw a flash of fire flickering in the white mist, and a sound like thunder sounded, and the wooden stake he was aiming at was like a lightning strike, and the sawdust flew and the upper part exploded in half.

Melle looked at the flintlock pistol in his hand and froze.

He never imagined that his dull self would one day be able to perform witchcraft.

No, it's not witchcraft.

It's a weapon! A weapon similar to a crossbow, but more powerful and easier to handle than a crossbow! A soldier armed with this weapon will have the combat power of a knight at medium range, even if he is a fragile farmer, as long as he can reload skillfully......

Melle could already imagine the charging knight falling in a white fog as if he were cutting wheat.

A drop of cold sweat slipped down his forehead, and Melle grabbed the flintlock pistol in his hand.

In addition to fear, he also loved this weapon, and even had an irreverent and bold idea in his heart, if such a weapon was on his body, maybe a wizard apprentice could die in his own hands.

Regardless of any engagement distance.

"Melle, send these two flintlock pistols down, let these people practice in rotation, and each of them will shoot at least two today." Jiang Feng said to the stunned Melle, "Gunpowder and lead bullet, I will ask the logistics staff of the city hall to send them." ”

He needed these militiamen to be familiar with the sound of muskets, and that recoil. In this way, they can consciously train their ability to overcome recoil in later training.

At the same time, the most important thing is not to be scared by the gunfire of your own people to pee your pants.

Melle was stunned, he never thought that Jiang Feng would give such a thing to these militiamen to use, you must know that the lethality of this thing is simply amazing, the most important thing is, how can this thing be equipped with the hands of every militiaman, such a magical thing should be very rare.

The militiamen were also confused, not understanding the use of such a precious thing for their own training. Unbeknownst to them, the blacksmiths of the city were now working overtime to make parts for the production of weapons, and it would not be long before batches of muskets would be delivered to them.

All don't realize it, but it's true.

From the moment gunpowder was born, times had quietly changed.

The militiamen lined up and took turns using muskets to contact. The stake was certainly not enough, and the object of the shot turned into a rampart.

At first, many people were so frightened that they peed their pants, threw away their muskets and fled, and even almost injured their own people, but under the stimulation of whips and chicken legs, these timid citizens quickly learned to adapt to this weapon.

And once they get used to it, they fall in love with the power of terror.

God, I must be dreaming!

What is it? It's so powerful!

Handing the musket to the militia behind him, Lyle's heart was filled with unspeakable excitement, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Even if it's a big guy like Galia, the three of them can't beat it themselves, but if he has this flintlock pistol, even if Garya is wearing armor and wielding a pure iron battle axe, Lyle is confident that he can kill him before he rushes in front of him.

This kind of weapon is simply stealing the power of the gods!

Worthy of a wizard.

Even the servants of the wizard master can possess such terrifying powers.

Lyle's longing for the chief wizard grew stronger and stronger.

The first batch of a hundred firearms, assembled in the alchemy workshop, was quickly equipped with the militia. According to Jiang Feng's meaning, the daily training tasks of these 5,000 recruits are not only formations, but also training in rotating muskets and training in a group salvo.

Because of the start of live-fire training, the consumption of black powder has become greater. Recently, the alchemy workshop has been producing gunpowder, and even saltpeter and sulfur have seen a lot of price increases. Fortunately, a group of families were raided and a lot of "stolen money" was confiscated, and the municipal finances were quite generous, which was enough to maintain such crazy training.

However, it is not a way to go on like this for a long time, and places like Liberty City are already crowded, and when the power of muskets is fully displayed in front of the world in the future, judging from the large-scale purchase of saltpeter and sulfur in the city hall, it is not difficult to guess the raw materials of gunpowder as long as you have a heart.

If the formula was cracked by trial and error, it would undoubtedly be a loss for Jiang Feng.

Although it is not a very valuable technology, technology is such a thing, and it can only maintain an advantage if it is unique, and he does not plan to spread the technology of gunpowder so early.

City Hall, Jiang Feng found Rembert.

"Dear lord, what wind brought you here?" Looking at Jiang Feng who appeared at the door of the office, Rembert hurriedly got up and respectfully made a noble salute.

"I'm noticing that stocks of sulphur and saltpeter are decreasing."

"I have commissioned the Carel family's caravan to travel to the southern city-states to buy saltpeter, and your request will definitely be met." Rembert said respectfully, "Don't worry, leave it to me." ”

Jiang Feng nodded, took out a roll of maps from his arms, and spread it out on the table in front of Rembert.

This is a map of the Thorn Wastes, with iconic areas such as Boulder City, Cursed Rift, and Bone Swamp all marked on the map. About twenty kilometers from Boulder City, mark it with a red circle.

Rembert squeezed his eyebrows in confusion and turned his inquiring gaze to Jiang Feng.

Facing Rembert's inquiring gaze, Jiang Feng spoke.

"There's a sulphur mine here, and there's plenty of saltpeter here, so I'll need you to set up mines in these two locations on the map. When the mine was completed, the purchase of saltpeter and sulfur was immediately stopped, and all the saltpeter and sulfur consumed by the alchemy workshop were imported from the mine. ”

These were all found when Jiang Feng took the time to ride out on horseback to explore the mineral resource reserves of the territory.

Not only sulfur and saltpeter, but he even found a silver mine with a large reserve, but it was not needed for the time being.

Although he was curious about where Jiang Feng got the news of these mineral resources, Rembert didn't ask too much, and respectfully made a noble salute.

"Yes, sir."
