The sudden change caught everyone off guard and retreated. I saw that this crew member kept pulling his face and removing pieces of skin. Reveal the blood vessels that are still surging inside.

"He's been completely devoured, back, back. Bring the torches. ”

The captain waved his tentacle at Nan and roared. The tone is unmistakable.

At the same time, several crew members stepped forward to hold down the out-of-control crew member, as if they were in great pain. The crew struggled incessantly, muffled sounds coming out of their mouths, gasping for breath. It's like drowning. At the same time, the mass of carrion on his body began to squirm like crazy, desperately burrowing into his body.

Soon the private brought oil and poured it on him and lit it with a torch. The crowd quickly pushed away, and the frantic crew had turned into a burning man by this time. There was a scream of pain. Shock everyone's eardrums and shake the heart.

Gradually, clumps of filth fell off his body, turning into a blurry mass of viscous mass on the ground.

Soon only a humanoid stand remained, leaving a black figure on the ground.

The crew grieved, and this was their companion day and night, but it became like this. And the day is not far off for them. Suddenly a sad atmosphere pervaded.

Wayne's eyes were complicated, and his heart couldn't calm down for a long time. He even doubted whether there were gods and demons in the world, otherwise how could such an anomaly exist.

Then he thought of a very important question.

"How long do you think we'll be able to hold out?"

Xiang Nan sighed and said in a low voice.

"It wasn't long before we even thought we'd be able to make it back and die in our hometown."

"I've set up a research institute in Nolan, if you will. I can take you there. ”

Wayne said.

The crew's eyes lit up with hope and expectation, and there was a hint of emotion. They became like this, and Master Wayne didn't abandon them, but thought of a cure for them.

They looked at each other and exchanged a look.

"Master Wayne, we're willing to go to Nolan, but there may be trouble on the way."

Wayne nodded and said with a serious expression.

"But you need to be hidden, I hope you understand."

"No problem, Master Wayne."

And in order to ensure that there are no accidents in this transport. Wayne specially found Yozep, after all, he was a fire mage, and it was easier to deal with.

After explaining the matter in general and showing him to meet the crew, Wayne made his own request.

Jozep agreed without hesitation, but he asked himself to join the research, after all, the unknown exploration is the magician's life's work. Wayne agreed. Perhaps with the blessing of magic, research can be taken one step closer.

It's been an eventful time. The situation on the front line is tight. And he also encountered the so-called chaos in the north, and he could only put aside the chaos in the north for the time being, and then intervene when he had the spare strength in the future. Let's turn the disadvantage of the front line around.

Boris came into contact with many nobles and found that a centralized army was impossible, and the resistance was too great. Or is it divided into ten legions in line with the current form. Of course, he hoped that the ten legion commanders would work closely together and not create gaps.

Soon the list of corps commanders was drawn up, which basically balanced the opinions of all parties. After a brief ceremony, the troops were finally able to march to the front.

Then came the problem of backwards, although the aristocracy had previously undergone a frenzied industrial expansion. And a number of gratifying results were produced, rifled guns, flintlock muskets, ironclad.

But they quickly discovered the problem, that is, the tip has shrunk within a generation of Nolan, but overall it is still far behind Nolan.

They simply cannot guarantee the production of enough weapons for the army, and if you add the attrition of the ensuing war, it is very likely that the logistics system will collapse.

And the solution to this problem can only be solved by one person - Langton, Duke Mette.

"At the moment, of our ten corps, hardly a single one of them can be armed with a full number of artillery, muskets. And our factory is not enough to make up for such a large volume in a short time. So we need to buy out, from Ortunno. ”

Although very reluctant, the situation is stronger than people. They're going to bow to reality and get into Ortunno's armament.

Langton had clearly anticipated this situation.

"I have consulted with Ortuno and they are willing to provide us with artillery, muskets, ammunition."

The crowd breathed a sigh of relief, and if Ortuno refused to agree, they would have nothing to do.

"And what do they cost?"

The dukes asked a crucial question.

Langton swallowed and said nervously.

"The artillery is 2,000 gold coins a piece, and if the rifled gun needs to be increased by 1,000, the shell is five gold coins each."

"What?! Isn't this a money grab? ”

Everyone was shocked, and they were upset when they heard Ortuno open his mouth like this. They also had their own factories and knew the price of the production of artillery, and a rifled gun lasted eight hundred gold coins. Even a scattershot would cost half a gold coin. Ortuno more than fivefold the price.

Boris's eyebrows were almost squeezed together, and his big hand slapped the table.

"Stop arguing!"

"We definitely can't agree to the price of Ortuno, hurry up and send someone to negotiate, it doesn't matter if the price is high, but we must reduce half of it. We can now take the inventory payable point. Then try to dig in Ortuno to get some workers over. ”

Boris quickly finalized the plan, and of course there was no objection from everyone.

"I sent someone to the Papal States to negotiate before, and I think you know about it."

Everyone looked at Boris, and they knew about it. I just don't know how it turned out.

"The Papal States are reluctant to get involved, and they even have to withdraw the priests in Rune."

The atmosphere was suddenly depressed, one bad news could make them angry, and another one would break down. Now the external situation is very unfavorable, and the other two forces are very reluctant to help them, and even want to make a profit.

The only thing that kept them calm down was that the situation at the front was still good. It is said that the First Army has retreated to the area around the Cangjiang River, and they can advance the defensive line a lot. Eight legions have also begun to support the front, and so far it seems that their chances of winning are not small.

Tuk...

Boris kept tapping his fingers on the table, thinking about the current situation. Wayne had four armies at his disposal, a 100,000-strong lord army, and two legions. Stuart Yad needed to send an army group to garrison it.

It is unlikely that he will be able to replenish the army in a short period of time, and his biggest advantage is only those advanced equipment, which can equip all the troops at hand. He is not afraid of the consumption of weapons, but he can't stand the consumption of personnel.

And his biggest dependence is on the Magister in addition to weapons. One more Magister would be more strategically proactive.
