"I have a good relationship with Master Gatling and have had a few conversations, so I have some understanding of the construction of the machine gun and how it works." Lynn went on to explain.

"It's a pity that this weapon is too dangerous, and if it spreads, it may make the war more cruel, so after it was developed, it was sealed by the [Arcane Society], and this old wizard also died of depression, and it was not until recently that he needed to deal with the war of the Holy See that it was reactivated!"

Hearing this, Wilson somewhat regretted that such a genius who developed a weapon of war had fallen like this.

Suddenly, he felt that this must be the most correct decision the [Arcane Society] had ever made, and he couldn't imagine what the war would be like after this thing spread.

Even if they were official wizards who were pointed at a machine gun on the battlefield, they could be beaten into a sieve.

Wilson even wondered if the Dean would have also participated in the development of such a weapon of war, otherwise how could he have understood it in such detail and could have drawn the drawings directly......

"If you can build five qualified machine guns in a week, then after this war, I will commend your merits to the councillors, and everyone involved in the development of the new musket will receive a medal of the Morning Star!" Lynn said encouragingly.

Most of the alchemists present were involved in the creation and improvement of flintlock pistols, sniper guns, and electromagnetic guns, and it was a bit unreasonable not to give some rewards.

Hearing this, Wilson and the others were excited, the Order of the Morning Star is undoubtedly something that most official wizards dream of in their lives, and it is a great honor!

As for the more advanced Silver Moon and Corona Medals, they were usually reserved for Grand Wizards and Legendary Wizards, and the only exception for hundreds of years was Lynn, who did not dare to compare to this magic star......

Lydia was even more excited, so she would soon become the first halfling witch ever to receive the Order of the Morning Star!

With the glory to come, the fatigue caused by staying up late was suddenly swept away, and the alchemists drank another bottle of energy potion and began to think about how to make this thing.

Even though it has complete drawings, the degree of automation of the machine gun is not comparable to that of the flintlock pistol and the rifle, there are many technical levels to be solved, and the time of the week is very tight.

Seeing that Wilson and the others were about to overflow with full energy, Lynn nodded with satisfaction, once they had anti-aircraft laser weapons and several machine guns as hole cards, they didn't have to stick to it, they could turn defense into offense!

Lynn was very interested in the oil that the griffon knights used to set fires, and he was going to settle on this oil-producing land anyway!

……

At night, the kingdom of Hadrata is outside the royal capital.

Amid a burst of prayers and hymns, the ground shook violently, and earthen walls more than two meters high rose from the ground to form a makeshift camp.

Later, several cardinals joined forces to cast a magical barrier, creating a magical barrier that spread for several kilometers.

Due to the large range of divine magic, the protective power is very scattered, and even a ring of magic can be easily broken, but this thing is not originally used to resist damage, and it is applied to the magic [Detect Evil] and [Life Perception]......

The former can detect fluctuations in magical power, and the latter can make some living creatures hide, in order to prevent those cunning wizards from sneaking in through transformation, stealth, etc.

As soon as the Divine Barrier is attacked, the Bishops and Priests who are guarding nearby will arrive immediately.

The magical brilliance of the barrier was a slight comfort to the Coalition soldiers who had just experienced a terrible war, but as soon as they closed their eyes, they remembered the roar of muskets and cannons, and the blood-soaked walls had become an indelible nightmare in their hearts.

"God's people, the devil is walking the world, and their evil minions are taking over the kingdom in vain to turn the world into purgatory...... Don't be afraid, don't panic, all these are God's tests, those who fought for God's sacrifice, but returned to the Lord's embrace ahead of time, and will enjoy endless peace and joy in the kingdom of God......"

A pity-on-face pastor proclaimed the faith of the Lord under the watchful eyes of a group of troubled soldiers, while a dozen priests around him chanted prayers aloud to soothe the irritated coalition soldiers.

Compared to these cannon fodder, the golden griffons enjoyed better treatment, and it was up to the bishops to take action and use magic to remove their fear of thunder magic.

The only ones who were not affected were the Divine Punishers in silver armor.

Every member of the Divine Punishment Army is an elite who has fought from the sea of corpses and blood, and has witnessed the tragic death of their companions under the fangs of alien demons and behemoths, and it is even more common to crusade and capture those dangerous wizards, so although the siege battle at noon is extremely fierce, it is not enough to shake their hearts and faith.

At this moment, in the center of the camp, under the arch of the silver guards, a pure white tent was temporarily erected.

Edwell was listening to reports of casualties from the war, far more than he had previously predicted for the worst.

The total number of deaths reached more than 23,500, and one hundred and seventeen griffin knights and two hundred divine punishers died under the Thunder Web and the extremely fast alchemy apparatus capable of emitting thunder.

Listening to this bad news, the faces of the cardinals were gloomy.

The result of the first battle can only be described as humiliating, even in the war against the evil gods, he has never experienced such a crushing defeat before!

Poulsen couldn't imagine what kind of uproar such news would cause if it were to return to the Holy City, which was really insulting to the majesty of God!

In his opinion, there will be such heavy casualties and no results, it is completely Edwell's poor command!

"We shouldn't have retreated in a hurry just now, although the weapons of those wizards are powerful, they will never be able to last forever, and the casualties of 20,000 people are likely to push these evil god believers to the limit! It's like a dam eaten by insects and ants, and it will collapse with a single push! Poulsen said categorically.

He didn't know how muskets and artillery worked, but no power was infinite and eternal except for the Great Lord!

Great power often means the consumption of terror!

If the war were at its worst, Edwell had ordered the griffon knights to cooperate with them in their assault at all costs, perhaps they would have celebrated their victory in the royal city by now!
