Chapter 438: Artillery?

"That's right, but when the devil threw all his forces into invading humanity, the lords of Evanses also began to attack the devil with all their might. The devils are left behind by some very powerful super devils, and the big lords are not even opponents. But the lords were not without gain, they knew at least some details about the summoning, and judging from their descriptions, Phyllis and I judged that not only would Dedevil Gorgen come out, but he was even a little impatient. ”

Hurley said.

"Is there a timetable?"

This is what Wang Wei wants to know the most.

"Pretending to be confused. ”

Hurley pointed to Wang Wei's nose and said.

"The last item of the schedule, isn't it in your hands?"

From the beginning of the war to the present, mankind has lost a total of millions of soldiers, most of whom are Tolkien's soldiers, and Tolkien has paid a huge amount of money for those soldiers. Maybe it was the genuine patriotism of those families, or maybe it was the charisma of Aragorn, none of whom had any backlash. The settling-in fee in Isaac is also a large amount, which is basically paid by Wang Wei, and Wang Wei pays more than Tolkien.

That's basically the part where the devils left in the Gray Dragon Castle, and according to Wang Wei, that's the compensation for the devils who stayed here before.

Even if the losses were small, in absolute terms, Isaac still lost more than 100,000 men, which is enough to illustrate the scale of the war in such an era of relying entirely on hand-to-hand combat. Wang Wei knew very well that war reform was imperative.

And the first thing he had to do was to change the clothes of everyone in the troops.

In his mind, the black samurai needed not four swords, they needed a single cannon with a shield.

As simple as it sounds, in this day and age, all wars rely on the magic series. But when ranged weapons can't rely on magic anymore, someone has to do something about it.

Gunpowder-fired artillery appeared on the continent hundreds of years before wars, when gunpowder development was at its infancy. However, due to the advent of the Crystal Burning Cannon, the Crystal Burning Cannon, which had a higher lethality within the same firing distance, quickly took the place of the artillery. At the beginning, Wang Wei only tasted the taste of artillery from the bandits in Gray Dragon Castle, and to put it simply, taking things is not a level thing at all compared to the Burning Crystal Cannon. However, there are some things that cannot be understood by human common sense after all.

After all, the Burning Crystal Cannon can't penetrate a 90-millimeter-thick steel plate in one shot, but the armor-piercing projectiles that also belong to the category of artillery can, and things have to change.

And Wang Wei is the first person to change.

"Peaceful, and tranquil morning. ”

Wang Wei, who woke up early in the morning, stood in front of the window with nothing on, and then was smashed to the ground by Luna's high heels.

"Go bathe me, we'll go into the palace later, don't stand in front of the windowsill with a strange smell. And, Elidan, get me up, the sheets are going to be washed!"

Luna, who had just finished taking a bath, gave orders directly, and Wang Wei directly carried Elidan, who was still lying in bed, to the bathroom, and the Isaac Star has now completely become a place for these people to be in the dark.

The completion of the defensive front made the soldiers on the front line easier than ever, and the devils made the pyramid easily beaten back with several tentative attacks, so the devils finally realized that it was no longer possible to launch a large-scale cluster of fronts, and they were completely quiet. Both Isaac and Tolkien were in a kind of ecstasy for the rest of their lives, and the streets were filled with celebratory crowds, singing and dancing, and welcoming the soldiers returning from the front with applause and kisses. Some of the fighters showed the girls with flowers their scars, causing the girls to scream and blush their faces like flowers in their hands.

"It's peaceful. ”

Wang Wei sighed again.

"How long can there be peace?"

Luna sighed.

"No matter how long it takes, as long as there is peace. ”

Wang Wei said.

Entering the palace, Wang Wei participated in a regular court meeting for the first time as a prime minister, and listened to the opinions of the parliamentarians, and also saw the power of Empress Tina on the throne. Several councillors were reprimanded by the Empress for their ineffective governance, and a fine of a certain amount of gold was also imposed.

Wang Wei holds the position of prime minister, but he has not issued any administrative measures in this position, of course, no one expects them to issue any measures, as long as he does not look for trouble, it is good, anyway, it is already good to have the empress in internal affairs, and people regard the position of prime minister as equivalent to the three grand dukes.

After the court meeting, Wang Wei stayed directly to have something to eat with Empress Tina, and then, Wang Wei directly abducted Empress Tina to the coastal town. Of course, it's already a good city. ”

"Where are we going?"

Tina looked at the brand-new luxury yacht in front of her.

"I'll take you to see something good. ”

Wang Wei said with a mysterious face.

"Good stuff, how good is it?"

Tina knows that this guy will be as mysterious as possible until she tells you anything.

"Before that, tell me how many more Crystal Burning Cannon shells we have. ”

Wang Wei suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

"If it had been used for the kind of battle that had been fought before, I was afraid that it would not even be able to use up all the shells in a week, and Tolkien's stockpile of crystal-burning cannonballs was so amazing that I still can't believe that they would use crystal-burning cannons on such a large scale. ”

Tina said.

"In other words, our crystal-burning cannon will soon lose its shells and turn into a pile of scrap metal. ”

Wang Wei said.

"So to speak. ”

"So have you ever thought about changing that, for example, instead of the Crystal Cannon, we use artillery?"

"Artillery? That's absolutely impossible, the effective range of the cannon is so short, and the radius of destruction is so low that some powerful devils can even block the shells of the cannon with their hands. ”

Tina immediately thought of the kind of powder cannon that some barbarians carried on their shoulders.

"You're right, so, we can't use that kind of scrap artillery. ”

Wang Wei said with a smile.

"Let me guess, you must have something good, right?"

Tina, dressed in a refreshing samurai suit, immediately climbed onto Wang Wei's back, strangled Wang Wei's neck, and forced her to tell her secret. Only in this kind of place that no one can see, in front of Wang Wei, Tina, who has always maintained the majesty of the empress, can have a rare leisure.

"You guessed it. ”

Wang Wei patted Tina's ass and put her down.

"In fact, I have long found out that the biggest problem of the Burning Crystal Cannon is the lack of cannonballs, at that time I had not developed a Burning Crystal Cannon that did not need shells, so I was trying to find a way to replace the Burning Crystal Cannon from the beginning, and I am most familiar with artillery, but the current artillery technology has completely changed because of the appearance of the Burning Crystal Cannon. We still use the same black powder that doesn't do anything, but luckily, I'm quite innovative. ”

Wang Wei mysteriously stretched out a finger and tapped Tina's brain.

"Remember how long it's been since you've seen the Grey Elves?"

"Grey elves, indeed, I really rarely see them, it seems that they suddenly disappeared some time ago, except that they suddenly appeared and after a few slashes with the devil, they suddenly disappeared again. ”

Tina immediately realized something.

"That's right, I want them to keep looking for some mines all over the world, some mines produce some interesting things, and then I asked Master Freud and his wife to help me do a lot of experiments, and of course, the truth is that the gray elves are still here, and eventually, we got a bunch of good things. ”

Wang Wei said.

"What the hell are you talking about ambiguous?"

Tina didn't understand at all.

"You don't understand the complexity, but to put it simply, we have some new gunpowder. ”

Wang Wei said.

After several days at sea, the luxury yacht finally came to an island that looked like a small island, with a coastline that looked like the mainland.

"Where is this?"

Before Tina could finish speaking, a loud bang was heard, and the ground trembled violently with the loud bang, and then the sound of something cutting through the air was heard in the sky, and then a steel battleship was blown to pieces in the distance in a cloud of flames.

"Welcome to the Isaac Artillery Proving Ground, where you will embark on a path like no other. ”

Wang Wei said like a priest.

From the edge of the island, Tina had seen many trees with human faces, and she knew very well that they were from the Elven Realm, but why were they here?

"Actually, this is also because we don't have enough manpower, and the strength of the Treants is very strong, and with their help we can easily transport weapons here. ”

Wang Wei explained to Tina.

"It's just artillery, is it that heavy?"

Tina said strangely.

"It's so much that just getting those parts over is a lot of waste of our effort. ”

Wang Wei said with a smile.

"I really can't understand your secret, by the way, what is that chimney for?"

Tina asked, pointing to a black cylinder in the distance.

"Chimney?"

Wang Wei smiled.

"That's not a chimney, my majesty, it's our latest superweapon, a cannon with a range of up to fifty kilometers!

Wang Wei said excitedly.

"Doragang, it's a terrible name, it reminds me of Aragorn. ”

Tina said.
