Chapter 257: Earl Joyce, who was so frightened that he fled overnight

After the meeting, the councillors left the sky with a heavy heart.

After Lynn got acquainted with several great wizards, he also took the time to ask about Greenreal's combat readiness.

In the intervening months, the council had summoned and trained a regiment of twenty thousand men.

Compared to the empire and the church, this is obviously not enough, but the population of the wizarding land is limited, and the total number of people is only six or seven hundred thousand, and it is impossible to engage in crowd tactics like their enemies, and they can only win by quality.

Although the so-called quality is just an extravagant hope, after all, these legions do not have much combat experience at all.

In addition, the beasts domesticated by the Potions wizards may also come in handy.

And then there's the wizards' killer magic crystal cannons and golems!

The first is the Magic Crystal Cannon, which is based on the principle of compressing the mana stored in the Crystal and launching it in the most basic way.

Simple but effective!

The power of ordinary magic crystal cannons is about the same as that of three-ring magic, while high-level magic crystal cannons can be compared to four-ring spells.

Don't look at the gap of just one ring of magic, but the power has increased more than ten times!

On the other hand, the cost of a high-grade magic crystal cannon is also extremely expensive, and each time a cannon strike is issued, it needs to consume a fist-sized magic crystal, which means that hundreds of magic gold coins are only enough to shoot one cannonball.

Lynn had also had the privilege of experiencing and controlling this special alchemy weapon before, and had a rough estimate of its power.

In terms of destructive power alone, it is much stronger than the cannon produced in the workshop, but the disadvantage is that it is expensive to build, and the range of attack is limited, the closer the distance, the stronger the power, and more than five hundred meters will not have much effect.

Due to the fact that there was no need for war in the Wizarding Lands before, and the crafting process itself was very complicated, even if the two magic crystal cannons were combined, there were only a hundred of them, and most of them were arranged around Greenriel City and the magic stone mines.

However, this was all an illusion, and it was not until the council was preparing for war that it was discovered that due to lack of maintenance and even being stolen and sold, all that was available now was a pitiful fifty cannons.

As the president of the Alchemy Association, [Magic Creator] Vittorio can be said to be furious, and the Alchemy Association has also been ruthlessly rectified.

The second is the Golem, which is even more expensive than the Crystal Cannon, all of which are made of solid Mithril, forming a unique magic inscription circuit inside, and the psionic wizard projects a part of his consciousness into the Golem and controls it.

After the various schools put together, they barely managed to come up with seventy golems, and when the time comes, the psionic academy will send corresponding personnel to assist in the battle.

Listening to these news, Lynn also couldn't cry or laugh, it seems that there has been peace for a long time, and these wizards have never thought about starting a war at all, if the church suddenly fights coldly, then the entire wizarding land is estimated to be ten percent of the strength of fifty percent of the power can not be used.

"Lord Lynn, I heard Master Raphael say that the Iyeta School has developed a new weapon called a musket, which is much more powerful than crossbow arrows, and can easily penetrate armor and even [mage shields], is that true?" Sanchez asked curiously.

Raphael's report, which they had all read, clearly mentioned that it was a weapon that could make ordinary people with training threaten wizards.

"Not bad." Lynn nodded.

"And how about the price of this thing?" Sanchez continued, he has always been in charge of the training of the 20,000 new recruits, and he is naturally the most concerned about this new weapon.

"Two magic coins and a musket!" Lynn pondered for a long time before speaking, giving a price that was neither high nor low.

The cost of making a musket alone is about 15 magic silver coins, which needs to be doubled considering the labor and transportation costs, but Lynn has no intention of opening his mouth, and everyone must go all out in the face of the unknown church......

And compared to the musket itself, the ammunition that is constantly consumed is the most profitable......

In view of the fire price offered by Lynn, Sanchez did not hesitate to buy 10,000 muskets.

Now it was Lynn's turn to make a mistake. "The output of the musket workshop is still very limited, so let's do it, I can give you two thousand flintlock pistols first, and it's no problem to rotate them for daily training, you don't need them to shoot accurately, as long as you can use them, and then slowly make up for them!"

Iyeta's musket-making workshop has been expanding in recent times, and is now producing about 3,000 muskets per month, and with the skilled skills of those workers, it should continue to increase production, but it will not be easy to gather 10,000 muskets in a short period of time.

As for the leakage of technology, this is an inevitable thing, and Lynn doesn't care much about it, Darren and others are already working on the production of a firing gun.

By the time someone can reproduce the flintlock pistol, this thing will probably become obsolete.

After negotiating the sale of the musket, Lynn and Sanchez turned to discussing the training of the army.

Born in the land of wizards, Sanchez was completely blind to the training of the legion, but with the help of the team, he still figured out some methods, such as how to make them cooperate with the wizard's magic, and then simulated the confrontation between the two armies.

Lynn's means are much more direct, for the musket team, discipline is the first priority, the second is the adaptability of the battlefield, how to face the enemy's cluster charge, even the rain of arrows, still stand in place and calmly complete the rifling, placement of ammunition, aiming and firing and other actions.

So he directly asked the wizards who were idle in Iyeta to catch some magical beasts and let the musket team fight in small teams.

The deterrent power of these monsters is no weaker than that of the battlefield, and in the face of a fire lion flying all over his body, he who can complete the reload, shoot, and shoot is a qualified musketeer!

"That's a good idea!" Sanchez said appreciatively that it would not be a big problem to have a wizard watching from the sidelines, and immediately decided to promote it.

The recruits who were training far outside of Greenriel didn't know that their nightmare was about to begin!

Just as the land of wizards was urgently preparing for war, the vast liberation movement of mine slaves in the kingdom of [Hadratta] became more and more intense.

Starting from the small Barony of York, it only took less than a month for Raeder to sweep through nearly one-seventh of the territory of the [Hadratta] Kingdom and organize a team of tens of thousands of people!

Frightened, Earl Joyce fled overnight and spread the shocking news to the royal capital of Hadrata......
