"It's obvious—anyway, why hasn't the system opened the fire potion system yet?!" Egil expressed his displeasure with Aurora's stupid attitude, and then shouted loudly, "In the past few days, I took advantage of the darkness to dig up the corner of the wall and place the fire potion." When the amount of fire medicine is sufficient, it ignites and collapses the city wall. This tactic is the basic tactic of the primary Black Fire Elixir stage. You can't fool me!"

"Yes and what. Aurora snorted lightly: "You have also seen that the use of fire elixir at this stage is basically like this. It is very cumbersome and cumbersome, and is almost useless except for siege purposes. And materials are scarce and expensive to build—you don't want to use muskets, artillery, or something like that?, frankly, with the current state of technology in the Empire—even if you don't study anything else, you can double the size of your research institute. There will be no modern rifles for 200 years, no breech-loading guns for 100 years, and no flintlock muskets for 50 years. If you want to enter the era of lining up to shoot, you can stop it now. ”

“...... But, however, it is a very promising new weapon, isn't it?! and it is very useful for storming cities!" Egil argued.

"If it is used as a catapult for catapults, then that pitiful fire pot will not pose much threat to the city wall, and its effect is not as good as that of a stone bullet that does not cost money, and the lethality of personnel is not as good as that of fire oil bombs; But when you encounter a large city like Constantinople, it will take thousands of catties of black fire medicine. And the current price of the system for the Black Fire Pill is 500 gold coins per catty. 10,000 catties of fire medicine is 5 million gold coins. And it doesn't necessarily work very well......"

“...... Daddy?!"

"That's right, that's what it means. ”

"In other words, the effectiveness of this simple, primitive fire medicine weapon is not even as good as the cold weapon I used before, is that true?"

"Well, of course, this kind of thing that makes a lot of noise, emits smoke and fire, and it's quite good to be intimidating. This is especially true in an era when firelance weapons are not yet widely available, and the professionalism of soldiers is not very strong - by the way, in the gun and gun workshop in my fiefdom, there is already a type of army that can be recruited to use firelance weapons. ”

Seeing Egil's inevitable loss, Aurora didn't know what kind of mood she was in to say this.

"Where is your fief?" asked Egil strangely.

"Iceland! It's Iceland, bastard! I'm the Duchess of Iceland, you can't forget this setting, right?!"

"I'm sorry, but I'm not in the mood to remember the fact that I can provide less than two thousand taxes. Egil said very coldly. But still with the idea of giving it a try, I logged in to the system interface and went to the city bar, and then chose Reykjavík, the regional capital of Iceland and the only city in Iceland. With the exception of the capital's unique buildings and special guild buildings, all other buildings were built to the highest epic city, regardless of technology level.

Then click on the Advanced Musketeer Barracks. It sounds like a big name, but there is only one class that can be recruited today: the Classical Grenadier.

Classical Grenadier: Ethnicity: Icelandic Normans, 50 in a team, equipped: light chain mail, small round shield, hand axe, three early iron cannons (can be upgraded to early bombs). Morale: Low, Training: Moderate, Discipline: High.

Class Introduction: A mysterious weapon from the far east, legend has it that it was invented by the alchemists of the East, they called alchemists, something called the fire elixir, which was placed in a sealed container and lit the fuse

After throwing it, it can explode and injure people in the enemy crowd when the timing is just right - legend has it that this method of use was originally invented by the hunter "Li Tie" to catch foxes. Whether it's because of this

The reason for the name Iron Artillery is unknown.

This kind of weapon is loaded with black fire medicine in a clay pot, as well as fragments of iron filings and iron chips, and the effective range is short, the explosion range is also very small, and the lethality is very strong

Barely enough for lightly armed troops. But for a heavily armed enemy it is close to zero. However, its deterrent effect, terrifying sounds and smoke, can extremely frighten the opposing soldiers, as well as the war horses under their crotches. In short, yes

A weapon that is more deterrent than actually lethal. ...,

"It feels weak...... Egil sighed, feeling that the combat effectiveness of this thing is really not strong, and it is even worse than the new class of Heavenly Flamegrenadiers given by the system after the invention of Heavenly Flame.

"Forget it, mix it up after recruiting, mix it up, mix it into the Norman infantry, and throw it along with the tomahawk. Egil sighed, and then finally came up with a solution. Then he received a system prompt, saying that he could exchange it for fire and iron artillery from the Engineer for siege purposes.

Later, Egil discovered that in this musketeer battalion, there were several units that were currently gray and could not be recruited for the time being, namely early hand artillery, heavy hand artillery, and large arquebusiers. Egil crossed before the white hemp no

A high school student who understands has never heard of these classifications, and now all he can understand is the short-barreled flintlock handcuff he has in his hand. However, Aurora also said it. He probably won't see a flintlock pistol in fifty years. And the facts

It is impossible for Egil to devote all the scientific research institutes to the research and development of fire medicine weapons. That is, if his lifespan is equal to that of a normal person, then he will not see the era of queuing up to be shot in his lifetime......

"It's a tragedy. Egil sighed, and then instructed the system to set up three more laboratories in Iceland dedicated to the development of fire medicine weapons. Hire metal smiths, alchemists, and forgers to study fire potion weapons. Strive to build muskets and artillery as soon as possible, so that Egil can have a modern army addiction. After that, there was no follow-up.

"Since the fire medicine weapon is so ineffective, then it can be ignored for the time being—it's the Cumans, who got the fire medicine from somewhere, and learned the correct way to use the black fire medicine-"

Egil is not a fool, or rather, in fact this guy is smarter than the vast majority, or much more cunning, just a little thought came to mind: "Mongolia?!"

This was followed by a cold sweat of surprise.

The legendary Mongol expedition to the west introduced fire medicine weapons to Europe, when the Mongolian Tatars in the form of beasts burned, killed and looted, did all kinds of evil, slaughtered cities and exterminated tribes - and Eastern Europe was the last place for these guys to drink horses. The Mongol cavalry, under the leadership of the second Great Khan Ögedai and under the command of Batu of the founding Khan of the Golden Horde, attacked Hungary in one go......

"WTF. Egil wiped his sweat at the thought of this. After that, the body suddenly lost its center of gravity, and the chair under the buttocks "snapped" and toppled over. If it weren't for Sonya's quick eyes behind his back and reaching out to pull him, he would probably have overturned the chair and fallen to the ground, making a fool of himself.

"Damn it. Egil reached out and touched the sweat from his head, then stood still and patted Sonya's hand behind him to signal that he was okay. At the same time, he immediately shouted: "Nemulis!

Immediately afterward, the knights of the guard, who were waiting for the emperor's order outside the study, heard the words and immediately ran quickly to the office of the royal intelligence bureau.

Hearing Egil do this, the first thing that came to mind was Nemulis, and Sonya, who walked over and wanted to lift the chair up, stiffened slightly. Then it was back to normal. Because this action was too small, and Egil was in a hurry now, he didn't pay attention, so he didn't notice that Sonia was wrong.

"Damn it, that guy...... But, but sooner or later I will overtake him, and after that, kill him......" Sonia swore in her heart, while standing quietly behind Egil's back again.

When Nemulis ran in in a panic, Egil and Sonia were back to normal. Egil sat upright in his swivel chair, his right hand propped up on his head, his left hand tapping on the tabletop, while Sonia stood behind him, staring blankly at the Norman Director of Intelligence.

"What is the matter with the summons of the Lord?" asked Nemulis.

"In recent times, we have to pay special attention to the intelligence gathering work in the East. Egil said this, not only to Nemulis, but also to Sonia behind him.

"Understood, my lord. Nemulis nodded, pretending to be clever enough to think that Egir was going to attack the Cumans, and agreed without asking.

"No, it's not. Egil saw that Nemulis agreed without thinking, and knew that he was probably thinking badly—but then again. Who else in Europe today would have thought that in the East there would be a terrifying force powerful enough to destroy and conquer the whole world?

"This ...... ...... Your Majesty is referring to?"

"I mean more east—in the land east of the Cumans, what I want to know is what that territory is like! His politics, his economy, his culture, his population, his territory, his political structure

Troops, cities, roads, roads - all !! I have three months to get everything I want to know!!, or I'll kill you!!" Egil became a little hysterical for a moment, and looked at Nemuri like this

Snarl roared......
