326.Ambush & Rescue 2/15
In the evening darkness, a large convoy was moving along the road from the Pioneer Fortress to the east.
The scale of this team was far larger than that of ordinary caravans, with more than two dozen carts used to transport heavy loads alone, and an entire production line for the production of firearms was dismantled and transported in such a way that it was moved like an ant.
This is only a small part of the production line that the Capetian family has received from Cico, the capital of the Confederation of Portia, whose industrial capacity is not as good as that of the "Bourbon Industrial Belt" in Plantagenet, but it is already second to none in terms of Transancia.
It's a pity that those glorious pasts have been erased in time.
This set of production lines was a gift to be sent into the territory of the Governor Murphy as a sign of "sincerity", and the time card was very accurate, and it would not be a serious waste to ship all the production lines before the construction of the factory was completed.
After all, as qualified capitalists, these production lines can make a lot of money every day in the hands of the Chamber of Commerce under the Capet family.
For now, this is just the first shipment.
If the upfront collaboration with Governor Murphy was pleasant, the subsequent production lines would be delivered to the right location much faster.
The official steam train track plan of the Plantagenet Kingdom is progressing to the East Pruos region in an orderly manner, and this project is supported by the Capetian family and several other nobles, and when the railway is built to open up the fortress, then the land will belong to King Louis forever.
Just as the Translancians could not understand how the Northerners could conquer the Great Wilderness with near-impossible difficulty, the Plantagenet Kingdom could quickly annex its newfound power and transform it into a wieldable power at a prohibitive rate.
The railroad tracks that are constantly being laid are the tougher veins that the kingdom has woven for itself, the factories along the railroad are the backbone of the body, and the steam trains that are constantly moving forward represent a new era with a roar.
The Plantagenet had already gotten on the bus, but unfortunately Nordtov missed the class, and the Portia Confederacy was even worse, they didn't even qualify for the pit stop.
"There's the border between East Pruss and Transasia, mademoiselle."
A female knight in light armor rode a horse draped in ornate armor to the carriage at the front of the procession, and reported to the carriage with the curtain hanging:
"The leader of the Firefox Mercenary Regiment asked me to tell you that the road to Transncia may not be so smooth, the old mercenary who has lived in Transencia for a few years, and he said that this land is full of disgusting gnoll bandits and unreasonable vampire blood servants.
We may be threatened, so he wants to take over the caravan's guards. ”
"Oh?"
A confused voice sounded in the carriage, and Major Fraser's fiancée, Miss Biki, the daughter of the Sivir family, asked suspiciously:
Why would he have such an arrogant idea? The Firefox Mercenary Regiment is just the 'Black Glove' cultivated by the Capet family in East Phorus, right? Why did he think I would give him the entire caravan guard?
Is that prodigal mercenary leader bullying me for not understanding anything?
The size of this entire production line was much more expensive than his broken mercenary group.
Get back to him for me and let him do what he has to do!
Fraser put this in my trust in me, how could I let my good brother down? ”
"Uh, miss, that's your fiancé, not your brother."
The female knight of the Sivir family, who served as the guard, rubbed her neck extremely helplessly, and she whispered:
"The head of the family is very satisfied with the progress of your marriage to Master Frazier, and he has even given up his plan to annex the Beverly family's territory just to make a good impression on his future uncle. If he knows that you and your fiancé are brothers, I'm afraid that the head of the family will have a heart attack on the spot. ”
"Hehe, he won't, my father is the most shrewd businessman."
Miss Pinkie was very open-minded.
She joked with her playmate and bodyguard who grew up:
"Believe it or not, my father will not be angry when he learns the truth, but he will be more happy, and it will be enough for him to have a closer relationship with the Capetian family and take advantage of it.
The means of how to achieve this are diverse.
Whether it's packing up his daughter who hasn't been married for many years and sending it to the bed of the Capetian heir, or letting his eccentric daughter become close friends with the only heir, it's a choice.
So I'm not worried about this 'little secret' being revealed, well, this is what Fraser analyzed for me before leaving, and I feel that he is right.
You tell me? Liwen. ”
"I still think that you and Major Fraser are a match made in heaven, a perfect combination of beauty, strength, and intelligence, and your children are destined to become the pride of heaven in the Plantagenet Kingdom."
The knightess, named Liwen, shrugged her shoulders, glanced at the starless night and looked forward at the wilderness leading to Transnesia. After a few seconds, she listened intently to something that seemed to be heard only by her, and then she grasped the hilt of her sword at her waist and whispered:
"I have a bad feeling that it is not good, miss, that you should put on your armor now."
"Oh, is your faith warning you?"
Miss Becky's voice was visibly "excited", and the sound of metal clashing came from the carriage, and she asked with interest:
"You didn't tell me which god you believed in since you were a child, but I've seen you pray, and it's different from the rituals of the Old Church and the Church of the Winter Wolf."
"Miss! It's not something you should think about, I'm not telling you just to protect you, my god doesn't want his majesty to be known to too many people here, and I've told you since I was a kid that I'm just the eyes of the gods to bring Him more of the things of the world that He wants to see. ”
Knight Liwen's tone became noticeably more serious.
Instead of chatting with her young lady, she rode forward to talk to the leader of the Firefox Mercenary Regiment at the front of the convoy about her choice of path after entering Translancia.
At the same time, in front of this convoy, on a mountain terrain belonging to the territory of Translasia.
A vast area of the Night Enchantment shrouded the surrounding cliffs under the auspices of Fimis, making it impossible for an entire force hidden here to be tracked and perceived by the outside world.
There are not many people here.
In addition to the eldest lady and several of her minions, the NPCs also include the hunting baron Kudel, the leader of the Blood Rat Gang, Dorothy, the vulture knight Valander and two squads of hussars who arrived here from the mountains outside Sico City.
On the player side, in addition to the team of Brother Bang and Brother Woo Meow, who triggered this plot by hand, there is also a group of soldiers and macho men who have become the knights of the tribune Kudel, and a group of thieves and assassin players led by the Claws of the Frostfangs of the Blood Rat Gang.
Finally, the only apprentice of the Countl of Sharon, Loyal Brother, at the moment.
This guy is a manufacturing player, and his character level is only at level 7 and has not yet left the category of sprouts, but he is the most eager one of all the people on the scene.
There are two reasons for this!
For one, Brother Loyal regards the upcoming rescue operation as a testing ground for "new weapons".
Around his waist was a special psionic bag, filled with a variety of weapons he had made after "brainstorming" with Count Sharon over the past few days.
Second, as the scheduled manager of the "First National Arsenal of Translasia", Brother Zhongzhong knew very well that the goods transported by the caravan in front of him were directly related to whether his industry could open in time to make money.
Naturally, he couldn't allow a group of wolves and poisonous dogs to sabotage his first step in Transasia!
"It's coming! They are close to the border, there are a lot of people, and the big bags are the same as the fleeing teams! It's a spectacular move for ants. ”
Yansang, who was hiding in the night enchantment and manipulating the reconnaissance technique, suddenly shouted, causing the young players who had gathered everywhere to wipe their weapons and prepare for battle immediately refreshed, and the NPCs also stopped talking to each other in a whisper.
The hussars rolled over their horses, and the vampires spread their wings.
They didn't know when the wolf venom clan's ambush would begin, but the bastards would never have guessed that a force had been ambushed here.
Lao Qu picked up his shotgun and filled it with bullets, but was stopped by Brother Zhongzhong.
"Come on, brothers, throw away all the burning sticks in your hands, fight with the 'new weapons' I brought tonight, and give us a combat test to see how powerful the 'otherworldly weapons' Lao Tzu is."
Brother Loyal took out a large box from his psionic bag and threw it on the ground, kicking it open to reveal the neatly arranged rifles inside.
"! 98K! ”
The giant shark Burton suddenly screamed, and then got the disdain of Brother Bang's super white eyes.
"Don't see everything called 98K, it only exposes your flaws in this area."
The veteran complained.
Bending down to pick up an antique rifle from the box, he flicked it quite easily, and with a click, the bright bayonet popped out and stuck under the barrel.
"Naked version of SKS"
Brother Bang made a few over-the-shoulder shooting movements, withdrew another bullet and looked at it, looked back at the proud loyal brother, and said with a strange expression:
"How do you use full-power bullets? Also, don't you tell me you knocked it out with pliers? ”
"Of course not, I just provided the drawings, these are the works of my little tutor, my hands are not so skillful."
Brother Loyal laughed.
Picking up a rifle himself and putting it in his hand, he whispered:
"The engineers here are all monsters, they have a very special casting method, which can almost completely restore the design on the drawings with a fairly delicate degree of processing, but that method can only be used to rub the collectibles, and even the production speed of the Little Earl of Sharon cannot keep up with the large-scale weapon installation.
So, if you really want to go into mass production, you can't make this kind of 'high-quality', but I've finalized a few guns that can be quickly produced in the arsenal to be distributed to Master Murphy's soldiers.
As for why use full-power bullets
What the hell is this question of yours?
You don't think our little peanuts can open the skulls of vampires or gnolls, do you? The full-power bullet is a real good civilization in this fantasy world where demons are dancing wildly!
It's not a problem at all, if it weren't for the fact that the standard charge table hadn't been compiled yet, I'd still be going to make a dummmy bomb, that thing would be too extreme on our side, but it's just right here.
Now, I've got special bullets for you. ”
He threw out another ammunition box, took the ammunition bag from it and distributed it to the others, explaining:
"These are pointy bullets with gold burning powder, and the stopping effect is super strong and can cause a very terrible cavity effect, as long as the target has flesh and blood, it will basically die, and even extraordinary creatures will end up with a serious injury.
If we use this thing on our side, one of the people standing here will have to be court-martialed, but there is no such problem here.
I used different charge sizes to make the first charge sheet for the Arsenal, so tonight, in addition to the test gun, there will be a test of how much damage a bullet can do on a vampire with different charges.
If you can, try to use the bullets instead. ”
"Hey, good stuff."
The gunner Qu Ge was very satisfied.
Although he has touched the gun and hit the target during military training in reality, he really has a big opinion on this "nondescript" firearm in the game.
The accuracy of the spherical projectile at medium and short distances can be guaranteed with the blessing of the kinetic energy of the gold-burning gunpowder, but the trajectory of the long-distance projectile is simply miserable.
He's wanted to change it for a long time.
"Brother Zhongzhong, do you have any good things for me!"
Brother Qu carried a handful of melee Remington on his back and received two packs of bullets, and he leaned over with a hippie smile, rubbed his hands and said:
"We also know that you makers are in a difficult situation, and Barrett doesn't want anything, but you can at least give our sniper buddies some family benefits, and the big bolt will be put on for us."
"What do you want, give you this."
Brother Zhong took out a sniper rifle and threw it to Lao Qu, who took it in his hand and looked at it repeatedly, and liked it very much.
"Ha, Mrs. Haruta, you can, you really know how to do it."
Brother Qu happily gave a thumbs up, and then started the item identification and glanced at it, and found that although this thing was rubbed by hand, its quality was not low:
Name: "Mrs. Haruta" tries to make a sniper type No. 1 Otherworldly classic firearm

Two. Queen of Lights at Night:
The tracer bullet fired by this weapon will set the target on fire, inflicting [Burning] on it.
Maker: Sandra Sharon Sicomel Lesenbra
Item Description:
[Don't mess with Mrs. Harina, she has a very bad temper in addition to being kind to her master. 】
"Hey, do you have any tactical accessories for this thing?"
Lao Qu held his new gun in his arms as if he were his own bride, and he almost went up to kiss him, and he turned his head and shouted to Brother Zhong, who didn't have time to pay attention to him.
This new gun has not been tested yet, who is in the mood to make accessories?
If you want to find someone to do it yourself, he will be an arms tycoon in the future, and he will be very busy.
"Brother Bang, you stormtroopers use this."
Brother Loyal threw a few classic Remington and a big bag of deer bullets to Brother Bang and Brother Meow, and the big guy was naturally happy to get the weapon with a familiar style, especially the pointed bullet smeared with maintenance oil, and let the happy stick put it under his nostrils and sucked it hard.
Ah, the familiar feeling is finally back!
It would be even more perfect if Brother Loyal could get an AK or 56 to rush in.
"Hey, they're jumping out!"
Smoke Sang sounded another alert, and within his recon range, he saw that the caravan of the Capetian family had crossed the Transrian border and was ambushed by a venomous vampire.
Those bastard thugs don't seem to be willing to wait a minute, and what's worse is that there seems to be a "rebellion" inside the convoy as well!
"Damn, why did the convoy guards start cutting their own people?"
Yansang was so startled that the whole person jumped up and shouted to the people next to him:
"Are they the internal response of wolf venom?"
"It's a hidden blood servant."
The eldest lady withdrew the night barrier with a blank face, turned the Night Howling Staff in her hand, and the huge bat wings behind her flapped to lift herself into the air, casually explaining:
"This is the most common tactic used by vampires!
We don't wait foolishly for potential enemies to destroy us, we don't go stupid enough to run into other people's camps to develop our own minions, we just put the best blood servants on the surface and wait for behemoths like the Capetian family to recruit them into our system.
It's important to keep this in mind when encountering vampires in unfamiliar territory, as any of your compatriots could be the vampire's doglegs.
Alas, it seems to be not for nothing that I suddenly realized that other races hate us"
"Don't be sentimental, little girl!"
Kudell flapped his wings and swept through the air, and in his hand he beckoned to the eldest lady with the Griffin's greatsword:
"You and I should be the vanguard to disperse those wolf poison cubs, remember what you promised Murphy, don't run around!"
"Yes."
Philimis took a deep breath and followed Kudel as he flew ahead of the attacked caravan that had already caught fire.
The hussars and the little players followed, and the loyal brother who was at the end rubbed the mechanical claws of his hands, bent down and took out a heavy "big barrel" from his "private" wooden box, and skillfully opened the grip to let the rough sight pop out.
His eyes were full of expectation.
"Ha, it's only at the level of World War II, but it shouldn't be a big problem to burn a few vampires to death, so let's let the Otherworldly Fist of Steel bloom tonight! I'm going to get into a lot of trouble if I study this during my working hours, but no one cares about me here.
I suddenly found that I fell in love with this hellish place.
This is a dangerous temptation.
Alas, I probably know why this ghost game is getting so much attention. ”
