Section 134 Preparation (1)
Solomon poured out of the package two firearms, one long and one short, and although Edward was not familiar with them, he knew that they were the things that the dwarves had known back then.
"The dwarven firebolt. Do you think this thing can help the Fadels resist Titania?" said Edward with a smirk, "This thing is limited in power, and the dwarves first understood it because they were not good at bows and arrows, and their magic was limited to alchemy research, and they only understood it in order to have a certain long-range attack ability." ”
"Do you think this thing is useful to the truly powerful? I just stand here and let you fire a thousand shots without the slightest damage. Edward said proudly.
With his strength to reach the legendary level, he is definitely qualified to say this, in fact, I am afraid that even a high-level powerhouse with a unique defense dares to say this, and this thing of the dwarves cannot be said to be without a little power, but it is obvious that in this world with magic and fighting spirit, the power of the fire gun can only threaten ordinary people.
But Solomon didn't think so, "Your Majesty, of course I believe that I will never be able to hurt you if I use a firecracker." But if it is only a high-level powerhouse, there is almost no threat to him from one shot after another, but if many guns bombard him at the same time, the effect may not be the same. Moreover, the role of the fire gun is to increase the lethality of ordinary people. An ordinary person can't beat an orc no matter what, but if he has an extra firebolt, he will at least have the ability to attack the orc from a distance and deal some damage, and if several people hit an orc with a firebolt at the same time, it may hit him hard. We want to help the Fadelians resist Titania, and it is impossible to directly commit our elite soldiers. At the same time, it is impossible to send our strong men to fight for them. The only way to do that is to use their huge manpower. Wield it with more lethality. However, in a short period of time, it is impossible for us to help them cultivate any strong people, which is not in our interests, why should we train strong people for them, then it is really possible to turn against us in the future. ”
"The only way to do this is if we sell them some equipment, which are far easier to make than magic items, and are suitable for mass production. Only this kind of armament can increase the fighting power of the Fadelians in the shortest possible time, allowing them to bleed the Titanians as much as possible, and forcing Emperor Sauron to reconsider our open door policy. Solomon continued, "I have already thought about this and made some preparations in advance. ”
"You mean your cooperation with the dwarves?" Edward's expression moved, and he told the secret guard of the royal family, of course, he knew that Solomon had been producing firearms with the dwarves a few years ago, but the production was not large. And it wasn't sold in Asturias at all, and it was most likely secretly transported to the Black Rock Plane, the source of his wealth.
However, Edward didn't reach out much to scout in detail. Because unless he tore his face and intervened, it was not the orcs who served Solomon, or fans like George, or new people like Marbernar Green, who had come to Solomon, and it was difficult to get more information about it, only that there were some dwarve-like natives there, which was revealed by the craftsmen who had been hired to the Black Rock Plane after they returned, but that's all, the craftsmen also stayed there in the fortress, and their knowledge was limited.
"Yes, I have always cooperated with the dwarves, and I am quite interested in firecrackers, so I had a trial production with the dwarves a few years ago, and the trial was successful, and I transported it to the black rock plane to trade with the local natives in exchange for black rock. "Solomon said half-truths," I said in a way, I used it as a testing ground, because the dwarves there had a vendetta against each other and were very fond of firecrackers. Through their use, I think this thing can make the weak stronger than him have a certain threat and lethality, although it can't improve its own defense, but to a certain extent, offense is the best defense. Your Majesty, now with the use of Black Rock to lower the threshold of teleportation, we can let ordinary people go to the Alternate Plane more, and we can also have more non-elite troops to throw in them, and the use of firearms can definitely increase their attack power, especially with the fortress made of concrete. ”
Solomon's words rang in Edward's ears one by one, and some key sentences made Edward think.
"However, if the firecracker really has the effect you said and has increased the combat power of ordinary people, then you make it now, but arm the Fadel people for the first time, even if you calculate the success of the Titanians in the future, will the Fadel people be used against us in turn?" Edward sneered.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry. Because since we sold the firebolts to the Fadel people, when everyone turns their backs and they plan to use them against us, we can completely cut off the trade through Guò, so that their threat will disappear. And as long as the dwarves remain loyal to the kingdom, we will maintain a lead in the manufacture of firebolts, and even other products of the dwarven civilization related to mechanical civilization. Solomon said respectfully.
"You're trying to persuade me to go one step further and promote the dwarven mechanics in Asturias?" Edward smiled.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I think that the products of magic, the mechanical ones, are a little easier to make, though more rigid. The cultivation of magical talents must not be abandoned, but if mechanical products can be popularized, it can benefit the lives of lower-class citizens and the military of low-level soldiers. ”
The power of industrial production in the previous life, Solomon was clear, he could only tell Edward in a simple way, try to make him understand, making a legendary magic bow is very powerful, almost equal to the combination of a long-range sniper rifle and a cannon, but magic creation can be much more troublesome, and with a legendary bow, you need a good archer like Leonis to fully wield it.
Now the dwarves are bright firearms, and a single one cannot reach the level of a legendary bow in any case, but the benefits of mass production are highly replaceable, and the production cycle is short, which is just suitable for the huge manpower.
In the past, in the war of the heterogeneous plane, they could only participate in the form of elite soldiers, but now more ordinary people can also teleport through guò at will, and the fire gun can give ordinary people the opportunity to create a zào to damage creatures far higher than themselves.
As Solomon said, even if they are high-level warriors, if they resist the firecracker, and then shoot the second shot after one shot, they may not be able to kill them with a thousand shots, because their fighting spirit is inexhaustible, they can always ignore the firecracker, but if the firecracker attacks with fire, hundreds of shots hit the high-level warrior at the same time, it is possible to consume the protective effect of the fighting qi very quickly, creating a chance for others or the second round of attacks to be damaged, a few more rounds, if the high-level warrior runs out of fighting qi and consumes too much physical energy, it is not surprising that he will be bombarded。
In the past, it took at least two or three squads of second-order creatures or above (taking Wolf as an example) to kill a high-level professional who could not escape, but now the same number of zero-order or first-order creatures can also do it with firearms, which is equivalent to the fact that more countries where the Koosians can enter other planes, which means that the manpower has not changed, but the combat power has increased. And even if other tribes have mastered the firecracker, they still benefit the most from it, because the Terran is equivalent to getting the lethality of threatening third-order creatures from zero-order creatures, and the concentrated fire attack can even threaten creatures above the sixth order;
As for the dwarves, they are undeniably mechanics and masters, but their numerical disadvantage and some manageable habits (such as their penchant for drinking, and many dwarves who became obsessed with tobacco after submitting to Asturias) will not only make them not a threat to the Terrans, but will instead play the role of forerunners.
Edward groaned, his fingers tapping deftly and quickly on the armrest of the throne, "Are you trying to figure out Guò's support for Fadell this time to make a bigger test to prove and convince me?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. "Solomon said," The mechanical civilization of the dwarves is also permissible, maybe it is useless for the top powerhouse of the kingdom, but it is definitely an unexpected help for the middle and lower classes of the kingdom, I think that the future exhibition of Asturias should be to combine our original magical civilization with the mechanical civilization of the dwarves, and it is not limited to the magic path that I think of now, and the application of machinery can be promoted in the lower level of life, because it will be easier to manufacture than magic products, and at the high-end exhibition, we should maximize the use of machinery as an auxiliary to the magic civilization, for example, I have a few ideas。 ”
Solomon proposed several ideas to Edward, some of which made Edward's eyes light up, "This idea of yours is very interesting, and if it can be realized, it may be able to create a new high-level profession." There is also the plan of this floating ship, if the various parts are made by the machine first, and then handed over to the mage to be constant and set up a sequence of magic, then we can use it in the air to resist the dragon knights of Titania, and even support the battle of the legendary powerhouses. ”
"Well, you've convinced me that I'll put aside any intention of recalling Strauss for the time being, and give you enough time to try. If you can really use the Fadelians to force Titania to the negotiating table, win the benefits of the kingdom, and prove to me the role of the firebolt, I will agree to relax the restrictions even more, and strongly support the direction you say. Edward said, his words did not say anything about what Solomon would get if he did this, but with Edward's character, if he could really do this, it would not be difficult for Solomon to be promoted again.
Not only that, but the official titles and titles in the kingdom are certainly a part, and if Edward really accepts Solomon's direction of exhibition, Solomon's influence will also be magnified in the process of exhibition.
Solomon finally convinced Edward to let him try his plan to use Fadell as a testing ground, and his goal was achieved.
Just as he was about to retreat, the king of Asturias suddenly frowned and smiled bitterly and said, "By the way, since you are back, don't be busy with this, go and see Stephanie more, she was very nervous and scared when you almost fell in Fadel this time." When this enlargement of parliament and the end of the crisis in Yugudral, I am ready to give you an official wedding. (To be continued!)
