Chapter 69: The Assembly of Chiefs

"Green, this way!"

As soon as Green entered the chamber of the palace, he heard someone calling out to him, and the bearded leader of Crow Island, Hyde, was waving to him in the front row.

The council hall of the royal palace is somewhat similar to the structure of the temple of the gods, with a dome-shaped structure made of huge stones and columns. However, unlike the Temple of the Gods, there is no stone statue in the center of the council hall, but a throne made of black iron that looks unremarkable on the outside.

"Can I sit here, are there no rules?" asked Green, surprised.

At this moment, he had been pressed into the second seat on the right side of the lower head, and in front of him sat Graham, Douglas's father and the leader of the Ares tribe.

"What rules can there be? You can sit however you want. Hyde said with a big grin, and sat down next to him next to Green.

Although the bearded Hyde said it lightly, Green noticed a difference. The seats in the chamber were divided into two rows, separated by a wide aisle, and the whole layout looked distinct, and on the ground paved with blue stone bricks, he could clearly see the traces of the long table being pulled.

"Is there anything on the agenda for this conference?"

Green glanced at Rael's father, O'Rode, who was talking to someone on the other side, and immediately understood some of the reasons.

Most of the tribal leaders who had lost nothing in the last battle sat on the seats on the left, while on the right were some of the other leaders.

"What can be the issue? It's just drinking wine and eating meat as usual. As he spoke, Hyde picked up the flask and poured a glass for Green, "Taste it! ”

Due to the climate, the kingdom of Navia, where only small amounts of barley and rye were grown, alcohol was an absolute luxury, as was sugar, such as honey.

Looking at the bearded Hyde who was eating and drinking, Green took a sip of his wine glass speechlessly, and was about to ask Graham, Glass's father, when King Harald walked into the hall with Princess Victoria and the guards.

King Harald was also stunned when he saw the two distinct rows of seats, but he quickly returned to normal.

"The main purpose of this meeting of chiefs is to discuss the last time they were pirated. What if those people from the Southern Continent come to our kingdom of Navia again with warships and cannons?How can we defeat them to protect our homeland?" King Harald, who sat on the Iron Throne, said with a serious face.

Anyone who has seen the castle-like sail ships and those powerful magic crystal weapons will leave a daunting impression, and the same is true of King Harald.

So many Viking warriors were brave enough to row a small boat to charge towards the enemy, but in the end they didn't even touch the planks of the other people's boats, which had to make him feel a little sad and hopeless, but fortunately.....

"Your Majesty, we need that kind of weapon as well. The leader immediately stood up and said.

"But we don't know how these weapons are made, and we only captured some hand-held magic crystal guns, as for the kind of powerful magic crystal cannon, we haven't even seen what it looks like, how to imitate it?" someone asked this crucial question.

"I knew I would have left some prisoners?" a leader whispered, but as soon as he finished speaking, he noticed the strange stares of the leaders around him, and the leader hurriedly added, "I'm just talking." ”

Because the terrible plague left an indelible impression on the Vikings, the Viking ban was strictly enforced even after so many years.

"I saw some dragon blood and powder on those pirates, does this weapon have to use dragon blood?"

"It should be, I saw it too. ”

"Looks like we're going to have to slay the dragon, and then study it well. ”

......

Hearing the more and more lively the leaders on the other side talked, Green finally couldn't help but stand up, "Your Majesty, I can also make this kind of weapon, and I don't need any dragon blood." ”

The chatter in the council hall suddenly stopped, and all the leaders looked at Green in surprise with disbelief on their faces.

"How do you make it?" King Harald immediately stood up in shock, but as soon as he finished saying this, he hurriedly changed his words, "Green, do you have any finished products?"

"Absolutely. Green said as he pulled out a short-barreled musket from his bosom

, which was transformed by old Hunter according to his instructions. The projectile of the Crystal Gun is different from that of the Musket, but their construction is very similar, so it is not a hassle to modify.

"How is this thing fired?" said King Harald, with the leaders of the tribes.

"I'm going to show you that! As soon as Green finished speaking, the leaders who stood in front of him immediately stood behind him.

Pour gunpowder, load buckshot, and light the arquebus.

All that was present was a "bang", and there was an extra hole more than a finger deep in the stone pillar that Green was aiming at.

The leaders, frightened by the power of the muskets, were silent for a while, and then they began to talk loudly.

"You really don't need dragon's blood!"

"Is it okay to light it with fire?"

"The power of this weapon can't be defended against even by armor!"

"It's so easy to use, even women and children can use it with a little training. ”

......

Listening to the admiring voices around him, Green couldn't help but pout, it was just an ancient arquebus.

Since the pirates had to pour dragon blood from the reserved hole every time they fired the crystal gun, Green had to transform it into an arquebus. However, in the future, when making new guns, he will definitely not use such a backward method, although the breech gun cannot be manufactured for the time being, but the flintlock gun should be a complete problem. And he also planned to make the powdered black powder into granules, so that he could add some more power to the musket.

When Green patted his chest and promised that he would build the cannon too, the agenda of the Chiefs' Assembly quickly moved on to the next item: shipbuilding.

The leaders of the tribes also knew that it was not enough to have these weapons, but they had to have ships to match, otherwise they would have to stand on land and defend passively. And with a small boat like the original, even if they attack the enemy, it will be difficult to climb on the enemy's ship and destroy the opponent.

However, it was clear that it was impossible for a single tribe to build such a huge warship, so although many tribal leaders were reluctant to do so, the issue was eventually passed.

The construction of new ships will begin on Kings Island, and all the tribes will work together to provide the wood and craftsmen.

Then, when the third issue was raised, Green immediately stood up again.
