Renault didn't really have much confidence in muskets, the only thing he ever played with gunpowder was firecrackers, which were theoretically fine, but he had to try them to find out. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Let's try, if we can't punch through the plank, we'll give up. ”

The planks were about 10 centimeters thick and were placed 10 meters away. I heard that Lord Renault has come up with a new weapon, and many people have come around to watch, and Renault has brought too many surprises to everyone in the past few days.

Bang –

A loud bang echoed through the empty mountains, and everyone's hearts trembled with fright. Especially the miners who came from Black Iron Town, they had never seen the power of black powder, and they were directly frightened by this sound and squatted on the ground. Renault's miners were full of pride, they had seen the entire mountain collapsed.

"Great, Lord Renault, you really succeeded! You are such a great inventor!"

Lauren happily held the plank with a finger-sized hole in it.

Renault inspected the damage to the planks with satisfaction, and it was good that the musket could be so powerful. While reloading gunpowder is more cumbersome than loading crossbow arrows, the advantage of a musket is that it fires faster. A 20-meter distance crossbow bolt takes 0.5 seconds, while a musket fires a steel ball in 0.1 seconds. If it is against a fast-moving object, this small gap will be the difference in whether it can be hit.

Taught Lauren how to use muskets, Reynaud instructed the blacksmith Ferrier to make four more. Due to the limited amount of gunpowder, it was useless to make too many muskets, so he still focused on the equipment on the double-bow crossbow.

"Lord Renault, I have a small opinion. Ferré hesitated for a long time, and finally opened his mouth just as Renault was about to go back to sleep.

"Oh, tell me about it. ”

"That's right," Ferrier visibly agitated with Renault's permission. Saving his daughter made him change his sad state yesterday, and the whole person suddenly turned into a tireless hammer, "I found that all your crossbows use iron arrows, which is a waste of materials and a waste of time, I wonder if there is wood instead of the arrow body, only sharp arrows." ”

Renault thought I didn't want to do this, but no, the production function of his app is very rigid.

But now there is a blacksmith who can make some steel bars and throw them at them, believing that with the skill of Ferry, he can hammer out a perfect arrow in less than a minute.

"Alright Ferre, I need a lot of these arrows, I'll ask Badge to come to you later, you pick some men, and then specialize in the production of crossbow arrows. Renault thought for a moment, and finally added, "You're in charge." ”

"Thank you, Lord Renault! Rest assured, I will do this for you. ”

That night, it snowed like goose feathers, and the temperature dropped sharply.

The only bad thing about the big iron bucket is that it freezes easily, and the snowflakes quickly become slippery when they fall on the smooth iron plate. Renault had people spread dirt and it was a little better.

Under the leadership of the blacksmith Fei Lie, more than a dozen people rushed to work overnight around the two large stoves, and the table tennis was in full swing. Nowadays, almost everyone has a double bow and crossbow, and the most lacking thing is crossbow arrows.

Not having welcomed more demon rats, Renault was not relieved, knowing that it was just the calm before the storm. As he expected, when the night passed and dawn came, a larger group of demon rats appeared on the road blocked by snow. They were covered with a thick black mist, silently rushing to the big iron buckets, like the night constantly driving away the day.

"How is this possible," Lauren the grizzly bear glared at eyes bigger than eggs, "it's daytime, why are the demon rats still coming out?"

Renault looked up at the gloomy gray sky, and it seemed that as long as it wasn't exposed to direct sunlight, the monsters could come out unscrupulously.

That's bad news!

The snow could last for days, maybe a month, and it meant that Renault would never be resupplied since.

"Lord Renault, it's not good!" Badge rushed into the big iron bucket with dozens of people in a panic, they had just gone out to carry some ore back, "There are also magic rats in the direction of the mine, they ...... They found us. ”

The presence of demon rats in the mine was something that Renault had expected a long time ago, so he was not too surprised, and there were six Patronus Heavy Crossbows set up over there, which were prepared for this situation.

But Badge's next sentence almost scared Renault to jump.

"Over there, there'...... There's a flying mouse!"

Flying...... Flying Devil Mouse?

Damn, how can there be a flying magic mouse? Renault didn't think about this problem when he designed the big iron bucket in the first place, it was the result of human directional thinking.

"Everybody's hiding!

Renaud was shouting on the wall, and the people below were leisurely making breakfast as usual, when suddenly he heard a chaotic shouting on the wall, and before he could understand what was going on, several black shadows suddenly rushed down from the sky.

"Ahh

A woman who was still eating breakfast had her neck bitten off, and the flying rat took her head in its mouth and flew into the sky.

In an instant, five people lay in pools of blood, and people screamed in fear for a place to hide.

Lauren was holding a double-bowed crossbow in one hand, and since discovering the merits of this thing, he had given up running around with the Patronus Heavy Crossbow: "Don't run around! The woman and the child hid in Lord Renault's room, and the armed ones crouched against the wall, and gave me a counterattack, counterattack!"

After a brief period of confusion, the miners crouched against the wall according to Lauren's instructions, and the five flying species circled in the sky for half a circle before diving down again, this time aiming at the miners on the wall, but unexpectedly ushered in a rain of arrows.

Two of them were shot into hedgehogs on the spot, landing on the cold iron plate with a heavy muffled sound. The other three saw that the situation was not good and changed direction in time, so they did not end up in the same fate.

At this time, Renault suddenly found that the blacksmith Ferret was still standing by the fire, and he began to work before the other blacksmiths got up. In order not to disturb everyone's rest, the blacksmith's large stove was arranged in a very corner position, and at this time he had his back to everyone, with cotton stuffed in his ears, and he did not know what was happening.

One of the flying species spotted him unsuspectingly and lunged at his back with a fierce force.

Bang –

Renault pulled the trigger of the musket, and Ferré turned his head at the loud sound just in time to see the oncoming flying species.

It's over, it's too late to dodge!

When everyone thought he was dead, he saw Ferry pull out a reddish steel bar from the furnace with his backhand and stab it at the flying seed.

Whew-

A puff of white smoke came out of the flying species, and the black mist on his body quickly dissipated, and he only struggled twice before he stopped moving.

Is red-hot rebar so effective?

Renault replaced his musket and came down from the wall, studying the corpses of the three flying species on the ground.

Compared to the normal Demon Rat, the flying species is larger, and if the wings are fully extended, it can be two meters. They only have a pair of sharp hind claws, but their heads are several times larger than that of ordinary demon rats, somewhat like variant bats.

And judging from the fact that they will choose to avoid danger when they find it, the flying species are more intelligent.

"Lord Renault, be careful!"

Warned by Lauren, Renault pulled the blacksmith Ferret to crouch beside the stove, and the remaining two flying species swooped down again. But this time they didn't choose who to attack, but flew directly to the warehouse where the grain was stored in the middle of the big iron bucket.

What do they want to do? Renault was about to raise his gun to aim, when he saw the two flying species suddenly open their mouths and spew out two flames several meters long!

Rely on it! I don't want anyone to live!

Not only can these guys fly, but they can breathe fire, and they burn his food as soon as they come!

"Kill them for me!"

A dense rain of arrows suddenly enveloped the two flying species, but this time they did not flee, but breathed fire again at the piles of wood and makeshift houses. The fire they spewed was filled with grease and the like, and the grain, timber, and makeshift houses were instantly enveloped in a sea of fire.

It's over, it's basically burned out!

Only a small part of the food was salvaged, enough to feed for three days.

The hoarded timber, temporary houses, cow and sheep skins and cotton for keeping out the cold were burned to the ground, and it can be said that they returned to the pre-liberation period overnight.

"Lauren, there's something important for you to do," Renault frowned at the ashes all over the ground, and after some thought, he said, "You take a few double-bowed crossbows and rush to Redwood Town as fast as you can, and exchange them with the Red Leaf Lord, we need ten carts of grain and enough wood." ”

Grizzly Lauren took the order, and he led two horses to quickly leave the gate in the direction of Redwood Town, and the two demon rats that he found and chased were dealt with by Renault with a musket.

But even if Lauren traveled day and night to get food from Momiji, it would be four days later.

As for Momiji, he believed that the smart girl would be happy to accept the deal.

It's not a big problem to cook without wood, it's a big deal that Renault uses a magic box to process food, but the weather is so cold, it is estimated that it has reached minus ten degrees, and the cowhide shoes will soon stick when stepping on the iron plate. If you don't get warm, soon someone will get frostbite or even freeze to death.

Damn the flying species! Renault kicked the flying corpse on the ground, and suddenly something caught his attention. On top of the bright red blood clot, there was a layer of yellowish crystals solidified, which should have flowed out of the hole in the body of some flying species.

The thought of the flying species being able to breathe fire made Renault's heart move.

Is it oil? But what kind of oil solidifies at minus 10 degrees Celsius?

Renault dipped a little of the stick and threw it far into the furnace of the blacksmith Ferret.

Bang –

The red-hot coals were blown up in all directions, flames more than a man high, several blacksmiths were so frightened that they hid in hiding, and some were burned by the charcoals.

Blacksmith Ferrex got up from the ground in fear: "Thunder...... Mistress Renault, what are you doing here?"

Renault stood in the cold wind, unable to calm down for a long time.

"Good stuff, absolutely good stuff!"

If you don't guess wrong, what comes out of this flying seed is nitroglycerin!

This time, I've found a treasure!
