459. Not enough firepower? Isn't it a coincidence that you say that the small tube specializes in treating this disease!
"Uncle Murphy", who couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and came out for a walk, really didn't expect that he could have such an unexpected gain, and after seeing with his own eyes that his arsenal, which couldn't even make a big bolt, actually made such an outrageous thing as "Li Mei Happy Bullet", Murphy's worries were suddenly reduced by half.
Although the large-scale use of white phosphorus bombs in conventional warfare is somewhat anti-human and very brute, it definitely does not need to be washed.
But think about the bright side.
First of all, Murphy doesn't plan to use this thing on the battlefield with humans, they want to use it against the jackals and skeleton army, the former is the enemy of civilization, the latter has no pain at all, even if Murphy and his little players are really not human, they are not afraid that these two enemies will take the materials and run to some "international tribunal" to apply for arbitration.
Secondly, he is a vampire, and other people on the mainland don't see him as a human being at all, so on a quibbling level, Murphy needs to bear a lot less "human" pressure.
In the end, isn't there really no way?
But if Murphy can pull out a fully equipped artillery and motorized army now, he doesn't have to engage in this kind of thing, and there will be no force that claims to be "civilized" and would use this weapon against unarmed civilians when they clearly have an advantage, right?
Damn, what kind of bastard does this have to be?
This has even surpassed the unfathomable bottom line of vampires.
You can even get demons and demons to stand side by side with them and call them a bunch of evil bastards who don't even deserve hell, and if those humanoids do this in the name of some "god", they are simply claiming that their gods are probably not serious things.
In short, after some easy self-persuasion, Master Murphy felt that he had saved the bottom line of the poor soul, and then flew back to the Crimson Keep as fast as he could.
He didn't go back to the hallway office to catch up on his sleep, probably because he saw something incredible today that had fully awakened his vampire night owl bloodline, which would walk energetically at night and run away near the city cemetery in a puff of smoke.
"Cemetery" here is just an adjective, just like the "XX Mausoleum" subway station sign in a central city, which is a description used for positioning.
The plan of the Crimson Keep had been perfected by the repeated adjustments of Old Chen Tou and his three students, and things such as the cemetery could not be placed in the core area of the city, and in their plan, this place was to become an "embassy district" for the representatives of other forces in Transencia to live.
And now, there happens to be a "foreign" power living here.
Lady Leenia, the Knight of the Archer, is writing letters in her house.
She finally doesn't have to live in a tent anymore!
Of course, for vampires, living in this concrete house is not very comfortable, although the ash beaters also laid a complete fireplace in the house for the sake of "style" and made a fairy-style screen as a partition.
However, for the Knights of the Blood Alliance who were about to set off for the Filthy Swamp to station, no matter how good this house was, it didn't matter to them.
According to Lady Leenia's plan, they will be stationed in the Filthy Swamp until the Transancian forces have completely cleared the route between the local area and the Knights of the Blood Alliance, and then they will be able to return to their headquarters.
The Archer was very serious when he wrote the letter, and he didn't know who he was writing to, but after Murphy jumped in through the window, Reenia still didn't react, and even kept a strange smile on the corner of her mouth.
This outrageous performance made Murphy's eyes widen, and he couldn't help but take a light step and lean over to take a look, and then he saw the beginning of the letter:
"My friend Maxim himself:"
"Huh"
Before Murphy could see more, a sharp, elven-style dagger was pressed against his neck from the bottom up.
If Reynia can't detect his peep at this distance, it either means that Murphy's shadow concealment has been practiced to the level of Grand Duke Shani, or that the Archer Knight has been eating candy and eating stupidity under the offensive of love.
At present, it seems that Leania's perception is still normal, and she was just too immersed in writing a letter to her "gossip boyfriend" to express her emotions.
"It is said that Governor Murphy is a gentleman of the highest rank in the land of Translasia, but I don't know which gentleman would spy on the letters written by a lady, and your performance tonight has really deducted a lot of points for your image in my heart."
The Knight of the Archer looked at Murphy, who had his hands raised in the air, and said with great dissatisfaction:
"I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise I guess I'll have to use my hands to win me justice."
"Of course I'm here on business."
The Doge shrugged, two fingers of his left hand pinching the glittering blade and pressing it down.
But in the next moment, the blade bounced back under Reania's control, continued to press against the throat and activated a weapon spell that began to wrap around the edges of its blade.
Wow, that's what off the haughty Moon Elf vampire.
"I would like to ask you to help me contact Lord Pa Ying."
Murphy said frankly:
"Regarding the formation of my army, there is a small matter that needs to ask the Lord to come out, yes, I need to borrow his influence again."
"But you obviously have a spar in your hand that directly connects with Lord Pa Ying."
The Knight of the Archer scolded:
"Why are you still running to me, isn't it fragrant to turn a hand?"
"The main thing is that I made an appointment with the Lord last time, and I can't directly disturb him if there is no major event, so I have to take a more formal process. Make an appointment in advance for the walk-around procedure, so as not to have a small emotion about my wanton behavior. ”
Murphy explained with some elaboration:
"Also, I really didn't see what you just wrote."
"Shut up, Your Excellency the Governor!"
Leonia put down her dagger and said with great dissatisfaction:
"Since it's a business matter, let's do it on business, please say your request, and I will forward your request to the Knights' application process as a vanguard commander."
"Well, that's right."
Everyone Lienia opened his mouth to ask about the matter, and Murphy didn't want to stay longer on what he had just done, so he told him about the import of gold, but Leania rubbed her brows in pain and said:
"I know you're young and don't know much about the Blood Alliance Knights, but didn't Lady Tracey tell you?
Communication with the dwarven race within the Order has always been the responsibility of our Second Lord, Lady Heather Hoffman, herself a brass dwarf's golden-heavy shieldman, and the Blood Pact Shieldguard she commands is the toughest mobile fortress on the Dark Mountain front.
There is no need to contact the Lord for such a thing, and he will not come forward in person because of the interests of one party, and the Lord will take care of his reputation like a bird cares for its feathers.
So, you just need to contact the second lord directly.
She's in charge of importing gold supplies directly from Castle Brass for us in the day-to-day operations of the Order, and if you can convince her, I don't think this should be a big deal. ”
"Wow, is this second lord so well-connected among the dwarves?"
Murphy exclaimed, but then said in confusion:
"But the surname 'Hoffman' doesn't seem to be a prominent family among the dwarves, at least I haven't heard of it."
"It is true that they are not the traditional nobles of the dwarves, but the 'Emerald Mine' owned by the Hoffman family is one of the most important gold-burning mining sites for the brass dwarves at present, and Lady Heather is the previous head of the Hoffman family.
She joined the Knights as a vampire due to a series of accidents during the Fourth Black Plague, but she is different from other lords.
Perhaps it was because of the dwarves' stubborn bloodline that her connection with the family had not been reversed due to the change in her life form, and it was precisely because of her connections that the Knights had sufficient gold reserves, so the Lord turned a blind eye to this matter. ”
Leania explains:
"In addition, Lady Heather is also the Quartermaster of the Order, and she will be in charge of the logistics and procurement of the Order, and the mercenary and shrewdness of the Brass Dwarven blood make her very skilled and perfect in this work.
So as long as your price is right, Ms. Heather shouldn't refuse to help.
Best of all, the Knights' current army on the fixed defensive line on the front line of the Barren Mountain is under the command of the Second Lord, and as long as they can clear the path of the Filthy Swamp, they can contact the Second Lord in a very positive way. ”
"Mmmm, that's really a very important piece of information, thanks for the reminder, Leania."
Murphy nodded contentedly.
This was indeed good news, and Leenia was very helpful, but the Governor soon realized another problem, and he rubbed his chin and asked:
"When I first heard the First Lord, Lord Paliano, describe the internal rules of the Order, saying that you must not have fiefdoms, lovers, and powers, and that you must fulfill the Order's mission throughout your life, I thought that your family was a group of ascetics.
But as I got to know you better, I came to realize that my impression of you was a little skewed.
The debauchery of the Third Lord and the philistine of the Second Lord made me realize that your daily life is actually quite interesting, but what I see more from Ms. Heather Hoffman's story is the flexible bottom line of the Lord's internal rules."
"What do you want to say?"
Leania crossed her arms and said:
"Are you pointing to the hypocrisy of the Lord?"
"No, no, no, I'd love to see that, because it means that the Lord will be open to some special people because of some special things. As long as he is not a rigid rule-keeper, it means that we can bargain with the Lord on many things. ”
Murphy shook his head, he looked at the Moon Elf Archer Knight in front of him with a very subtle look, and after a few seconds of silence, he asked:
"So, you've actually taken a liking to my 'monster' Maxim, right? Ms. Leenia. ”
"Please don't say that!"
The archer's color changed, and he immediately retorted:
"I'm a Knight of the Blood Alliance! I can't have a lover, that makes me weak and forward-looking, and I can't muster the courage to do my job in the face of eternal silence! ”
"You can lie to yourself like that"
Murphy shrugged his shoulders and said:
"But the expression and mentality of loving someone can't deceive people, I admit that the relationship between the two of you may not have reached the point of falling in love, and now it can only be regarded as mutual appreciation at most.
But please understand, ma'am, that I am not joking at you.
I'm just saying that if the Lord can tolerate Lord Heather maintaining a close relationship with her family, then he can just as tolerate a knight with a meritorious and important mission to make eye contact with other family vampires, and even become eternal companions.
I believe that His Holiness is an absolute pragmatist in this regard.
So, the question now is, how can we make you take on more responsibilities so that your status in the eyes of the Lord will rise quickly until he can tolerate your breaking of the rules of the Order?
In my words, you'll have to work hard to live out your 'united front values' now, Leenia.
Of course, it's all up to you, and I'm not going to interfere.
But if you're willing to fight for you and Maxim, then I'm happy to offer all the help I can, after all, I'm such a gentle vampire that I can't bear to see a pair of eternal lovers who can be happy and happy being bound by some backward rules and forced to be separated forever. ”
As he spoke, Murphy took a few steps back, and he said goodbye to Leenia very gentlemanly, saying:
"I'll be patient with your decision, and I think you should discuss it with Mark before making a decision, he's not very good at this and can be a bit hesitant to tell what is on his mind.
But I believe that he will be willing to fight for his unattainable happiness.
My loyal servants have never lacked courage, whether on the battlefield or in love. ”
With that, Murphy's figure vanished in place in the shadows, leaving only the silent archer knight to ponder in place.
She felt like she was being moved by Murphy's words.
A certain longing that had already grown in his heart was keenly captured by the cunning governor, who was tempting him to take an unknown path, and most terrifyingly, Murphy's insight into the human heart made it difficult for Leenia to reject him at this moment.
Alas, on the one hand, it is the vow he made when he joined the Knights, and on the other hand, it is a soul who has a similar experience to himself and is equally lonely and sensitive
It's such a difficult question.
Reinia's entanglement was expected by Murphy, it was never easy to persuade others to break their own rules, and His Excellency the Governor was not in a hurry, and on the way back to the office with a song, he activated his core orb to contact a half-dwarf in the Pioneer Fortress.
This time, the atmosphere of the conversation was much more relaxed.
"Yo, short man, how are you doing these days? I've got something to talk to you about here, and I'm sure you'll be willing to help."
"Damn the vampire sissy cannon! If you say that forbidden word again, I'm going to grab my marshal's axe and rush to the Crimson Keep and kick your ass! ”
"Alright, my dear Centaur Marshal, please give me a little patience to listen to me about the whereabouts of the Frostdwarf Lord and the little insignificant role I have played in this matter, and what I want you to do for me next.
These three things are linked, and I am willing to share some glory with you, and I know that it will be beneficial for you to rise in the dwarven society.
It's even enough to make you ignore the way I call you.
Yes!
I'm a firm believer in that! ”
——
"Brother Loyalty! Look at the good stuff I've brought you! ”
At noon the next day, in the workshop of the arsenal and a few young players who were improving the white phosphorus bomb process, he heard a familiar voice coming from outside the factory.
He looked back a little helplessly, and saw the "legendary brave" wearing the chain mail of the knights striding towards him with a small box.
It's not the first time this guy has been here, and the shock he brought to Brother Loyal from the "Otherworldly Detonator" last time is still fresh in my memory.
"What did you do this time again?"
Brother Loyal complained:
"Haven't you Riptide Knights been training lately? Why do you always have time to tinker with these tortured and tortured things?
Don't you take care of you? ”
"Oh, I was transferred to the logistics post because I wasn't good at equestrianism, and theoretically I only need to participate in the most basic training."
Brother Brave laughed and patted his chest, he whistled and said:
"And having a good relationship with the Arsenal is good for our Knights' armament upgrades, and Typal and Uncle Fording, as well as the new Strategy Team, have agreed with me to play a 'side hustle'.
Without further ado, let's take a look at the good stuff I brought to you today. ”
He opened his box quickly, and Brother Loyal was relieved when he saw the things in it, fortunately, it was not a bundle of bombs that had begun to count down.
But then he frowned again, picked up the crude mechanical gadget and looked at it in his hand, and after a few seconds he said in disbelief:
"This is a fuse?"
"That's right! Very rough and primitive bump fuse. ”
Brother Brave said proudly:
"The last time I was walking around the corner, I heard the Dire Manta golem say that you plan to get some mortars to supplement the front-line firepower, but now you don't have time to make a copy, I thought about it, the structure of this thing is so simple, the only difficulty is the fuse of the shell, so I recently spent some time researching it and copied it.
The bump fuse of the Boer War level is not very high-end.
But I think it's enough, right? ”
"Enough is definitely enough, with this thing, we can produce small tubes on a large scale, and the firepower of our army will also be qualitatively improved, your thing is just right, if Transia can survive the black plague, Lord Murphy must give you a big medal."
Brother Loyal played with the gadgets in his hand.
He looked the legendary brave man up and down, and said in a tone of "terrible afterlife":
"Okay, you kid, you can make this kind of thing by tinkering with it in private, it seems that you are really a 'genius' in this area, come on, come on, tell uncle, have you ever done something similar over there?
Don't be afraid, tell Uncle!
Uncle's mouth is notoriously strict, and he will never talk nonsense. ”
