Chapter 60: The Devil
After Mo Yan returned to Thunder Cliff, he began to train the human-faced bird. This flying monster may be due to its penchant for fish, and it has developed quite well intellectually, and has learned how to build huge nests that can be inhabited by all its companions. And it has also developed a certain civilization, with a very clear governing body.
This allowed Mo Yan to spend a lot less time, after all, if they were like the Horned Demon or the Minotaur, some individuals couldn't even express the basic meaning. Then Mo Yan really has to consider that these face birds will be directly incorporated into the monster army and used as a kind of cannon fodder that can fly.
The human-faced bird has a girl-like torso, with a little pink fluff from the navel upwards, and its limbs are completely in the form of birds, and its voice is no different from that of birds. There is a queen in each flock of human-faced birds, who is responsible for managing the entire human-faced bird group, as long as you can defeat the human-faced bird queen who is protected by layers, you can gain control of the entire group.
According to the special surname of the human-faced bird, Mo Yan equipped them with suitable leather armor and thin iron helmets, giving them some protection without affecting their mobility. On the weapon, the Human-faced Bird is equipped with a claw hook, which can be put on the bird's claws, replacing the natural claws of the Human-faced Bird, making it more aggressive.
But in fact, the hook is only a weapon they have to use. The real standard ingredient is Mo Yan's latest repeating crossbow, and the throwing bomb made with the help of the Grey Dwarf's technology. The advantage of the human-faced bird in the air not only allows it to have a good shooting vision, but also makes up for the lack of power of the repeating crossbow.
Throwing bombs made of black powder, although somewhat bulky and requiring an open flame to ignite, are already a good lethal weapon. It is impossible to imagine the effect of hundreds of human-faced birds shooting at the Legion array in the air, and then igniting the dive bomb on their backs, and it is estimated in the field that any Legion will suffer such a blow will have a significant loss.
When it comes to throwing bombs, we have to talk about black powder, which can be said to be the most sad thing for Mo Yan. When Mo Yan started mining, he began to pay attention to the materials used to make explosives. After returning from the dungeon, after finally collecting all the materials, the gunpowder made could not be used at all!
But the facts are the facts, no matter how many times Mo Yan experimented and how many times he changed the material ratio, it just couldn't be ignited, and even if some could be ignited, they would just burn like a charcoal fire, and there would be no explosion. So Mo Yan could only reluctantly abandon this thing and blame all the reasons on the world.
After declaring war on Thunder Bluff in Parliament City, a group of gray dwarves from the research center found Mo Yan and took out the black powder in their hands. said that he could help Thunder Cliff defend, and after Mo Yan looked at the strange formula, he said that he was really cheated by the world.
But fortunately, Mo Yan finally has a big killing weapon, although the gray dwarf prepared it is called black powder, but in fact, it has nothing to do with gunpowder, whether it is in power or production, it cannot be compared with the gunpowder of the earth. But after all, it's an explosive weapon, it's not, it's not powerful enough, and it can be stacked by quantity.
So there was a shrapnel imprint engraved on it, with two cloth belts on the back of the human-faced bird to throw bombs, such a thing. Because the black powder is not powerful enough, the volume of the bomb thrown is very large, and it is almost the limit for a human face bird to carry one.
Combined with the special repeater that is caught in its claws, it is almost impossible for ordinary human-faced birds to fly normally. This makes this Thunder Cliff's air power need to be accompanied by a lot of goblins and other monsters to help it transport equipment, and it also needs to strengthen the physical training of the human-faced bird in normal times.
In the way of fighting in the air, Mo Yan, who has never been a fighter pilot, has no right to speak. I can only make up some ways of fighting based on some things I heard, and imitate the pairing of fighters with human-faced birds, which can be regarded as a form of host and wingman. Time will tell what effect this will have.
Just when Mo Yan was busy with various things in Thunder Cliff, the rout of the coalition army in the council city finally returned to the council city.
One by one, the soldiers with gray faces walked silently into the gates of the city of Parliament. There were still some decorations on the streets that had not had time to be removed, which made the heads of these defeated warriors even lower. Residents on both sides of the street carefully looked at the team, hoping to find their loved ones.
Some people fell to the ground crying because they heard the news from their relatives and comrades-in-arms. And more of them clenched their fists in their hands, silently enduring the news that their son or husband or brother had died in battle. The Salts don't like to cry, crying is something that only weak and cowardly people do, and they are not loved by the god of war.
"How could it be defeated, why was it defeated!" the Speaker smashed the decorations to the ground in his office, and the large table with a resin surface was also overturned by him, and the news of the defeat of the coalition forces in the Council City made him unacceptable, and his wrinkled face was released with anger.
"It is said that it was with the help of a black dragon that those monsters won. The man from Maro looked at the angry Speaker and said, "I'm curious about the fact that Thunder Cliff has gained the friendship of the Black Dragon, why didn't you get it?
"How do I know those damn guys, how they found out. After venting a call to the speaker, who had made a mess of the office, he picked up a chair and sat down, gasping for breath and said, "I will send the inquirer to the court and be hanged!
"But in fact you started the war. The man looked at the speaker who was trying to get away with it and said, "You persuaded the city council to agree to war, and got the chamber of commerce in the council city to pay for you. Now that the city of Parliament has been defeated, all promises have come to naught, and the craftsmen have made their products at full capacity, and they will be in a situation where they will not be able to sell.
If there is not a single fund to help the Parliament City, there will be a large number of people who will go bankrupt and live on the streets, not to mention the pensions of those who have died in battle. The City may still have some surplus finances, but this defeat will also hurt the vitality of the City of Parliament, do you think your people will let you go?"
"What are your intentions. The Speaker's intuition after many years of political intuition made him immediately feel the man's metaphor and said: "If I am ousted from power, then the Council City will never fight against Thunder Bluff again, and your intentions will not be realized." Say what you think now, and maybe I can make it happen. ”
"The original gift will not change. Hearing the speaker's words, the man laughed and said, "And I heard that you have a good relationship with the commanders of several legions defending the city, you see that the city council is such an eyesore, not only do all kinds of things have to pass through them, but the taxes are also very low.
Why not just dismiss them? Achieving a monarchy and becoming Emperor of Elamite will surely make the Council City stronger. You also saw the strength of Carthage and Maro, and it was because of our wise monarchs that they prospered so much. And I think that with your wisdom, you will become a wise monarch. ”
"I can't do that!" the Speaker refused in a deep voice, "This is against the laws of Elam, no Speaker has ever done this, and if I fail, I will be scolded for ten thousand years!"
"Then as long as it succeeds. The man continued to seduce and said, "The Council City could have organized a more powerful army, and the population of nearly 100,000 was only 5,000 warriors, which was really pitiful. After recruiting 10,000 Salt warriors from the population, we Maro can provide some magic weapons that can damage the dragons. When the time comes, all the glory and wealth will be yours, and when the time comes, you will retire and restore the traditional laws of Elamite, and you will live on for eternity. ”
"This ......" The Speaker was thrilled after listening to the man's words, if there were ten thousand Salt warriors with specially made weapons, then even the dragon would not be fearless. Although there will be financial restrictions, if the tax rate is raised and the Chamber of Commerce is forced to donate, then everything will be solved.
By then, he had already controlled the absolute power in the city, and it was impossible for anyone to stand up and resist. For a politician, it is an extremely tempting word, not to mention that Thunder Cliff has a huge fortune. After killing the dragon and destroying the Thunder Bluff, distribute the wealth, and the people's complaints about being heavily taxed will be subsided.
For a moment, the Speaker seemed to have seen that hundreds of years later there was a statue of himself standing in the Parliament City Square. Holding a giant sword and stepping on a severed dragon at his feet, countless juniors praised his courage and the glory and wealth he bringed.
"Definitely going to be a good idea. The answer had been received from the Speaker's face, and the man's smile bloomed even more.
"I'm bet!" the old speaker slapped his chair hard, made a loud noise, and stood up and shouted firmly.
