Chapter 112 Technology and Muskets (Please collect)

Rota City.

This is a city that stands among the mountains.

As a must-pass traffic artery across the Muduo Mountains, it has high strategic value.

Once occupied, it will be equivalent to strangulating the supply line of the Western Front, so there is no shortage of garrison troops in the city.

same.

Because it is located on an important transportation road, there are many merchants coming and going, and the composition of the people in the city is also very complex.

Mountain people, bandits, bandits...

Many forces gathered together.

Even if the Cologne military has occupied the city, there is no extra energy to eliminate these people.

And this,

created the conditions for the assassination.

The fog is thick in the mountains and forests.

Especially during the recent period, Rota City will be wrapped in thick fog every morning, and it will be difficult to see the five fingers when reaching out. It will not slowly dissipate until noon.

The slums in the south of the city.

Dressed in merchant clothes, Dulu put his hands behind his back, knocked on the door, and summoned everyone to an open area.

“I have contacted the informants arranged by Gondor here. They will introduce the target of our assassination and assist us in completing the task.”

“This is the first time for some of you to participate in the operation. , maybe you are not familiar with your teammates, let’s introduce each other first.”

He said slowly:

“It will be more convenient when we cooperate.”

"Yes." An old man with a white beard nodded:

"I'll do it first!"

He stroked his beard and said with a smile:

"The secret of the stars I guess very few of my friends in the club know me. My name is Bancroft, a member of the alliance exploration team, temporarily came to join you in the operation for some reason."

"Intermediate wizard apprentice, good at plasticity witchcraft, and also masters puppetry."

Evocation magic can manipulate various energies to produce desired results, as if they were created out of thin air.

Most evocation spells can cause gorgeous effects, and such spells can also cause huge damage.

For example: arcane missiles, magic flying arrows, chain lightning, etc., all belong to the category of plastic energy system.

So wizards with energy-shaping witchcraft are usually good at fighting with others, and everyone's eyes can't help but light up when they hear this.

Originally, some people were unhappy when they saw an outsider here, but now they also have smiles on their faces.

With Bancroft's age and proficiency in witchcraft, his strength is definitely among the best among intermediate wizard apprentices.

Maybe,

no worse than some senior wizard apprentices.

After all, it is one thing to become a high-level wizard apprentice, but it is another thing to build a complete spell model.

Several young senior wizard apprentices in Star Secret Society may not have time to build more spell models.

"Ben!"

"Sydney!"

A couple stepped forward together.

They were part of the Star Secret Society when it was first established, so everyone present knew them.

I am tall and have thick silver hair. His face is chiseled and his eyes are clear and transparent.

His good background made his behavior both solemn and elegant.

Xueli has bright eyes and smooth blond hair. She is wearing an elegant dress, like a blooming flower.

She always had a smile on her face, her temperament was sunny and warm, and she was obviously very satisfied with her husband.

Ben and Sydney have always been a model couple in the Secret Society of the Stars.

“Both of us are intermediate wizard apprentices, majoring in the life system of the natural school. Xue Li also majored in blood witchcraft. She has a thin Druid bloodline.”

Sydney nodded.

"Druid?" Someone said in surprise:

"The guardian of nature, the druid incarnate in the forest, it turns out that Sister Xueli actually has this kind of blood."

Elves, druids, vampires... have all appeared in wizard records, but few people have seen them.

Now that I heard that Sydney has the blood of a Druid, I couldn’t help but be very surprised.

Xue Li smiled and nodded.

“Nellie!”

A young man came out and said:

“I just became an intermediate wizard apprentice last year. I was a thief before and majored in illusion. It’s witchcraft.”

Nellie is thin and has a popular face, so he can easily be ignored if he is mixed in with the crowd.

Not from a good background either.

But no one will laugh at him.

Because he is an extremely rare second-level wizard talent holder, just like Modili and Omar.

Even though he started on the path of wizard late, he still quickly broke through to the intermediate wizard apprenticeship, with a bright future.

He is also not a member of the Star Secret Society, but he should be after returning from this mission.

"Gavin."

A tall, muscular young man with handsome features walked out of the crowd. He put one hand on his chest and bowed gently:

"Intermediate wizard apprentice and knight, Majoring in the Earth Department of the Natural School, he is better at protective witchcraft.”

“Amy.”

He looked sideways at the girl beside him:

"It's your turn."

Gavin's appearance and temperament should be the best among the men present. Even the married Sydney cast admiring glances at him.

But Amy didn't seem to be interested in him, and she just smiled awkwardly at the other party's warm greeting.

"Amy, an intermediate wizard apprentice, majoring in wind witchcraft of the natural school, has a magical creature."

As he said that, he called out 'Xiao Feng' and met the others present. .

"That's all these people."

Duru nodded:

"Wait for the people from the Kingdom of Gondor to come over, let's plan how to..."

"Wait a minute! "

Amy suddenly raised her hand and interjected:

"Karl hasn't come yet."

"Karl?" Duru's face darkened.

Of course he has not forgotten Karl. Before coming, Sibel specifically told him to take good care of his junior brother.

But now,

it has arrived on the agreed date, and the other party still has not come.

Is it possible that the credit is wasted because you can’t think of anything?

Do you really think that Sibel is your senior sister and has such a big reputation?

Even though Duru had a good temper, he couldn't help but feel unhappy and subconsciously ignored Karl.

“Sorry!”

Just when he was about to speak, the dusty Karl came in from the outside with a tired look on his face:

"Something delayed me. I'm late."

"Karl!" Amy's eyes lit up and she said anxiously:

"You came just in time. We just introduced ourselves. We need to discuss what to do next.”

“Oh!”

Karl’s eyes moved slightly and he calmed down and said:

"Then let me introduce myself."

"Karl, an intermediate wizard apprentice and great knight, majors in water witchcraft of the natural school and also practices martial arts."

"Huh?"

“Hey!”

“Ah...”

Everyone was stunned.

Duru also had a trace of trance in his eyes:

“What did you just say?”

“Great Knight?”

He heard Sibel mention it , Carl became an intermediate wizard apprentice not long ago, but he didn’t say anything else.

"Yes." Karl nodded:

"My wizard talent is very poor, but fortunately the knight's talent is not bad, and now I am a great knight."

As he spoke, his body shook and he fought Full of energy.

If any real fighting spirit emerges, it will make everyone present breathless.

Great Knight!

Undoubtedly a great knight!

“...Good!”

Dulu was stunned for a moment, then laughed:

“Very good!”

“Great Knight An intermediate wizard apprentice is no worse than an ordinary high-level wizard apprentice, very good!”

"With a helper like you, it will be easier for us to take action."

Karl is so strong, and Sibel still allows himself to take care of him. With such strength, it is enough to take care of other people.

…………

Demps is a loyal believer of the Lord of the Dawn, and is also a local bishop, mastering the seven divine arts.

At the same time.

He is also the leader of the resistance forces in Rota City.

Even though this place has been occupied by Cologne's army, life is difficult for those loyal to Gondor and the Lord of the Morning.

Demps still did not give up hope and led the remaining resistance forces to fight against Cologne.

"Crash..."

A pile of long tubular unknown objects was dumped on the table by the resistance people.

"This is..." Duru looked confused:

"What is it?"

Everyone from the Black Swamp looked puzzled, but Karl seemed to have seen something incredible. His eyes were astonished.

This thing...

"Musket!" Dempsey looked solemnly:

"The thing made by the Cologne military can use the power of gunpowder to erupt iron objects to cause damage."

"Even a knight will have a hard time surviving if he is surrounded by a few of these things without armor." . ”

It’s really a gun!

Karl picked up a ‘musket’ with complicated eyes.

It’s a gun!

The firearms in his memory!

And it’s not the primitive musket or blunderbuss at the beginning, it’s a flintlock gun!

A structurally complete flintlock gun!

In his memory, the flintlock gun was regarded as an epoch-making weapon of war, completely changing the traditional way of warfare.

“Over the years, the king of Cologne has vigorously developed so-called ‘technology’ and created many weird things.”

Demps said:

"Muskets are one of them."

"There are also more powerful artillery!"

"The reason why the coalition forces of several countries are on the battlefield The reason for the constant defeats is because there are people in the Cologne army. A group of soldiers. "

"They are armed with flintlock guns and can fight head-on with the cavalry composed of knights. With their large number and the support of artillery for long-range attacks, no army can fight against them. ”

science and technology?

Guns?

Is it possible that the King of Cologne is also a time traveler?

Karl was thoughtful.

Judging from the deeds of King Cologne, it is indeed very similar.

He was blessed by the gods when he was born, possessing wisdom that is difficult for ordinary people to understand. He became a king at a young age, and he was determined to restore the glory of the empire hundreds of years ago and start a war to conquer other countries.

After thinking about it, he shook his head slightly:

"Probably not."

The deeds of King Cologne are widely circulated, and there are not many characteristics of the time travellers. , more like a talented and strategic king.

And.

This world has had the word "technology" for a long time, and Signo City has nearly modern factories.

There is no shortage of various mechanical creations and principles, but their development is very slow because of the suppression of the Holy See.

It is actually normal to develop muskets.

And the people of Cologne are called fire thieves, and they know more about gunpowder than other kingdoms.

“Come!”

While Karl was meditating, Father Dempsey called a resister:

“Come and demonstrate this thing.”

“Yes!”

Resistance The person should skillfully pick up the musket, load the gunpowder, and pull the trigger towards the wooden board not far away.

Judging from his skillful movements, Gundo Yifang has also realized the power of the musket and learned to control it.

"Peng!"

With a muffled sound, the smell of gunpowder filled the air. At the same time, the wooden board ten meters away was instantly shattered.

The hardness of the wooden board is not much worse than the plate armor on the knight.

When the wizard apprentices saw this, their expressions changed drastically.

Without the use of defensive magic, even if they were shot in the vital part, it would be difficult for them to survive.

Thinking again about the fact that all the Cologne soldiers in the city were armed with muskets, I was afraid that the official wizards would be blown into pieces if they came over.

"The musket is very powerful. The key is that it is simple to activate. Even ordinary people can get started quickly."

Demps sighed:

"It is because of this Planting things, so our resistance has not been much close combat."

"Fortunately, you are here!"

He looked at Du Lu, his eyes bright:

"If a wizard apprentice takes action, he will definitely make Bob, the devil, go to hell!"

"This..." Du, who was originally full of confidence Lu, his face turned pale at this time, and smiled awkwardly when he heard this:

“Let’s discuss what to do first.”

“Please come over here!”

Dempsey waved and led everyone to a table covered with maps. The map was the city of Rota.

"Bob now lives in the north of the city. He is always guarded by hundreds of soldiers, each with a musket."

"Here."

He pointed A house some distance away from Bob’s residence:

“A cousin of the King of Cologne lives there. She has a higher status in Cologne than Bob, and her defense is relatively loose.”

"Well..." Duru frowned:

"You mean, let us assassinate her?"

This cousin was not among the targets given by the alliance.

“No!” Dempsey shook his head:

“Although this king’s cousin has a high status, she is far less important than Bob. You must still target Bob.”

"But we can borrow her to lure away the guards around Bob, which will make the assassination more convenient."

Dulu put his chin on his hand and nodded slowly.

Two days later.

The sky is hazy.

"Me, Carl, Bancroft, Ben, and the Sydney couple are going to assassinate the target this time, Earl Bob."

Dulu summoned everyone and spoke solemnly: 
“Gavin, you, Nellie, and Amy go to the king’s cousin’s yard, make a noise, lure the guards around Bob away, and create conditions for us.”

"Don't worry!"

"Father Dempsey will take action with you. He has several knights and more than a dozen knight attendants beside him, all of whom are experienced warriors."

These two God, everyone has already discussed the countermeasures and explored the path. Now it’s just a matter of mentioning it again.

Bancroft took a step forward, took out something like a honeycomb, and handed it to Gavin.

There was a painful expression on his face.

"This thing is called the Firefly Puppet. There are more than a hundred puppet bugs hidden inside. Each one is very small so it will not attract anyone's attention. If you put them in the right place, they can be detonated at the same time." Bancro Fute said:

"The flames generated after the puppet bugs are detonated are difficult to extinguish. You can use it to create chaos."

Gavin's eyes lit up: 
“Thank you!”

With it, planning will go more smoothly.

“Let’s go!”

Dulu waved:

“After the mission is completed, gather here. If anyone falls into danger..., save him if you can. ”

“If it doesn’t work...”

"Just give up!"

"The difficulty of this mission is beyond our expectations. Fortunately, we have enough manpower and we are very confident."

Everyone's expressions condensed and they nodded.

…………

Suburban.

A dozen figures took advantage of the fog to approach a manor.

“Nellie.”

Gavin has the highest level of cultivation among the three, so he naturally becomes the leader. He handed the firefly puppet to his companion:

“You Go and place the puppet."

"Okay."

Nellie was born as a thief and practiced illusion witchcraft. Among the three, he was the most suitable for this kind of thing.

He took a step back and gently waved the staff in his hand. His figure swayed and gradually disappeared into the mist.

This is not true invisibility.

But with the cover of the morning fog, it is difficult for ordinary people to detect his presence, which is enough to put away the puppet insects silently.

"Father Dempsey."

After waiting for a moment, Gavin spoke again:

“Let your people do it!”

“Gavin!” Amy was surprised:

“Nellie The puppet bug hasn’t been detonated yet.”

According to the plan.

Nellie first detonated the puppet bug to attract the attention of the Cologne people, and then made another move here to expand his influence.

The last few people attacked the target directly, making a big noise, and finally retreated before the Cologne soldiers completed the encirclement.

The purpose of their trip is not to kill the cousin of the King of Cologne, but to make the noise step by step to the maximum and attract more soldiers to facilitate Karl's actions, so there is no rush.

“The time has come.”

Gavin shook his head:

"We can't waste time because of Nellie. He may not have chosen a good position. Let's take action first."

"But..." Amy still wanted to speak, but was stopped by the other party's wave.

"Father!"

"Let's do it!"

Ever since he saw the musket developed by the Cologne people, Gavin felt uneasy in his heart and his spirit was always tense.

There are only three wizard apprentices here, and they are not very strong. If they are really surrounded by others, then...

Nothing will happen to me!

There were five people there, and they were all experts, so even if there was some pressure, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

"Okay."

Demps hesitated for a moment, then took out a whistle from his body and blew it, and the sharp sound spread in all directions.

Immediately afterwards.

"Peng!"

"Bang bang!"

"..."

There were gunshots ringing out around the manor, continuously, and from all directions There were all of them, causing a commotion.

These are resistors who have been arranged in advance.

For today’s plan, Dempsey gathered all the resisters in the city and planned to give it a try.

“Amy!”

Gavin urged.

Amy has no choice but to wave her staff and perform witchcraft:

"The wind listens!"

In an instant.

Her ears trembled rapidly, and many surrounding sounds poured into her eardrums, and she pieced together a three-dimensional image in her mind.

The movements of hundreds of people in the manor are clear.

“Some of the soldiers in the manor were resisting, and some went to the backyard. Our target should be in the backyard.”

Pointing to the front again:

“There are two secret sentries behind this wall.”

“Yes.”

Gavin nodded:

“ Fr.”

"It's my turn." Dempsey took a deep breath, took a step forward with the book in hand, and said with a solemn expression:

"God, give strength to the person in front of you!"

"Speed!"

“Courage!”

Invisible holy light fell from the sky and enveloped everyone present.

moment.

Everyone feels the abundant strength, endless energy, and flexible joints in the body.

"God, give you the eyes of a goshawk and the sense of a spider."

"See evil!"

Amy blinked.

She could feel that her vision had become better than ever, and her perception of her surroundings was sharper.

Even,

can be vaguely aware of the hostile atmosphere around him, and all enemies appear in his perception like red dots.

“Although divine magic rarely kills people directly, in terms of auxiliary effects, it is indeed much stronger than witchcraft.”

“Witchcraft can usually only be used by a single person, while divine magic Can be used on a large scale.”

"Amy!"

Gavin warned:

"You must pay attention to the movements around you. Once we find a large number of Cologne soldiers coming, we will retreat immediately. We must not be reluctant to fight." 
"...Yes." Amy sighed.

She already understood Gavin's idea, to complete the task as soon as possible, but she didn't care how far the task was completed.

However, in this case, the pressure on Karl and others will become great.

When she changed her mind, Gavin already held the staff and pointed lightly towards the wall in front:

"The rocks melted!"

The rocks piled up and The solid walls formed by it turned into soft soil and scattered on the ground under the influence of witchcraft.

“Up!”

Dempsey waved his hand.

The accompanying knights and knights' attendants rushed into the courtyard along the gap and quickly eliminated the nearby secret sentry.

"Bang!"

Gunshots sounded, accompanied by roars.

"Come quickly!"

"There is an assassin!"

......

"Hurry!"

Gavin waved his staff, and the ground rippled like water, knocking down several people in front of him. land.

Amy summoned a magical creature, and with her hand, a strong wind blew, covering her eyes with wind and sand, and there were even sharp wind blades mixed in.

A group of people rushed into the courtyard, almost unstoppable.

…………

Rooftop.

Several people are in a state of indistinguishable to the naked eye under the cover of witchcraft.

A large number of troops below rushed towards the princess's residence, which also made Dulu and others look surprised, and then they were ecstatic.

"Well done Gavin!"

Ben tapped his hands:

"He actually lured so many people away, which makes it much easier for us to move here."

"Perhaps the people in Cologne didn't expect that besides the many resisters in the city, we were also there, so they were less prepared." Xue Li smiled and said:

"But this is a good thing."

"Quick victory." Dulu thought more:

"Let's solve the target as soon as possible, and then go to help Gavin. I'm afraid they will be in big trouble this time."

Everyone nodded. .

For some reason, almost all the soldiers here were dispatched, enough to seal off all the streets near the princess.

Without help, the chances of Gavin and the others surviving are extremely low.

The wizard's methods are mysterious and powerful, but they usually cannot last long. Once their mental power is exhausted, they are not even as good as a knight's attendant.

“Up!”

Dulu waved his staff and rushed towards the manor first. His body landed lightly on the ground and shot out like an arrow.

With the cover of witchcraft, it is difficult for ordinary people to detect their traces.

Not long after.

A group of five people came to a study room.

"Eight breaths."

Xueli squinted:

"There are two wizard apprentices and five knights. I can't sense the breath of the other person clearly." 
“It should be Bob.”

She has the blood of a Druid and has specialized in sensory witchcraft, so she will never go wrong in this regard.

"Get ready."

Dulu took a deep breath, took out a bottle of potion from his body and drank it, then held the staff to add several layers of buff to himself.

Danger Sense!

Auto dodge!

Secondary magic field!

……

The same goes for everyone else.

Everyone drank at least one bottle of potion, and Ben even drank three bottles of potion in a row, superimposing various buffs.

The source of life!

Strength potion!

Calm down!

Cast spells quickly!

......

Karl opened his mouth, honestly took out a bottle of potion that could temporarily increase mental power and drank it.

‘No wonder they say that the lethality of wizard apprentices is terrifying. Senior wizard apprentices can kill legendary knights. '

'With this kind of buff blessing, the lethality burst out in a short period of time is several times that of normal times. The several buff spells he cast even directly made his physical strength comparable to that of a great knight within a certain period of time. . ’

In fact, Karl also knows that this is the normal state of fighting between wizard apprentices. Fighting with others without preparation is a different kind.

It was the first time I saw it, so I was a little surprised.

When the others were ready, Drew took a deep breath and looked ahead with his staff in hand:

"Do it!"

Zero Ring Witchcraft - Soul Shock!

Bancroft's staff is somewhat like an old man's crutch. He holds the staff with both hands and his eyes are closed.

Zero Ring Witchcraft-Arcane Missile!

Ben and Xueli stood side by side, each spreading their palms, and seeds flew forward.

Zero-ring witchcraft—crazy growth!

In an instant.

With the blessing of many buffs, the terrifying zero-ring witchcraft broke out.

The invisible force field fell out of thin air.

Fist-sized arcane missiles rushed towards the study in front like a torrential rain.

Countless vines covered with spikes and as thick as an arm grew at an alarming speed, encompassing the entire study.

Even a legendary creature would be torn to pieces in an instant when faced with this kind of attack.

"Buzz..."

The surface of the study room glowed with red light, and shields of flames appeared out of thin air, and then the attack was shattered.

When several people took action, their mental fluctuations leaked out, allowing Cologne to prepare.

However, one side came prepared and stacked various buffs, while the other side responded hastily and was obviously at the bottom.

"Boom!"

Roaring.

The study was completely reduced to ruins.

Five of the eight breaths have disappeared, and the remaining three have become very weak.

"Quick!"

Dulu yelled:

"Don't let them escape!"

"Peng!"

The ground beneath Karl's feet shook. The body was ejected at an astonishing speed like a discharged cannonball.

In mid-air, the two swords were unsheathed and slashed down towards the person below.

"When..."

"Poof!"

The head fell to the ground, and the body turned into stone under the action of petrification before it fell.

Huh?

wrong!

This person is not the target of this trip!

His heart was beating wildly, his swords were intertwined in front of him, and the blue wave of defensive witchcraft instantly unfolded.

There are also secondary magic fields, gravity control, etc...

"Ding..."

A long sword slashed through the void, piercing the obstruction of the force field and water flow, and collided with the intertwined swords.

The terrifying power exploded.

Karl’s eyes widened, the ground cracked under his feet, and his whole body was blasted ten meters away by this huge force.

"Huh?"

The person who made the move was surprised. It seemed that he did not expect that his full-strength sword was actually blocked by someone, and then he jumped towards Ben and Xueli.

"Be careful!"

"It's a legend!"

Before he finished speaking, Ben's head had already separated from his body and was flying high.

Please give me a monthly ticket! ! !
