Chapter 258 The Great Earl Joyce was frightened and ran away overnight

After the meeting, a group of members of the House of Representatives left the Sky Territory with a heavy heart.

After Lin En got acquainted with several great wizards, he also took the time to ask about Greenriel's war preparations.

During these months, the Parliament had assembled and trained a legion of twenty thousand men.

Compared with the Empire and the Church, this is obviously not enough, but the population of the Wizarding Land is limited, with a total of only 600,000 to 700,000 territorial citizens. It is impossible for them to engage in human wave tactics like their enemies, and they can only win with quality.

Although the so-called quality is just an extravagant hope, after all, these legions do not have much combat experience at all.

In addition, those magical beasts tamed by potion wizards may also be of some use.

Then there are the wizards’ trump cards, the magic crystal cannon and the golem!

The first is the magic crystal cannon. Its principle is to compress the magic power stored in the magic crystal together and launch it in the most basic way.

Simple but effective!

The power of ordinary magic crystal cannons is roughly equivalent to three-ring magic, while advanced magic crystal cannons can be compared to four-ring magic.

Even though the difference is only one ring of magic, the power has increased more than ten times!

In contrast, the cost of high-level magic crystal cannons is also extremely expensive. Every time a bombardment is fired, a fist-sized piece of magic crystal is consumed, which means that hundreds of magic gold coins are only enough to fire one cannonball.

Lin En had been fortunate enough to experience and control this special alchemical weapon before, and had a rough estimate of its power.

In terms of destructive power alone, it is much stronger than the cannon produced in the workshop. The disadvantage is that it is expensive to build, and the range of the attack is limited. The closer the distance, the stronger the power. If it exceeds 500 meters, it will not have much effect.

Since there has been no need for war in the Wizarding Land before, and the production process itself is very complicated, even if the two types of magic crystal cannons are added together, the number is only a hundred. Most of them are deployed in Greenriel City and the Magic Crystal Cannon.

Surrounding the quarry cave.

However, this was all an illusion. It was not until the parliament was preparing for war that they discovered that due to lack of maintenance and even being stolen and sold, there were only a pitiful fifty cannons left in use.

As the president of the Alchemy Association, [Magic Creator] Vittorio was furious, and the Alchemy Association was severely reorganized.

The second is the golem, which is even more valuable than the magic crystal cannon. It is all made of solid mithril. It forms a unique magic inscription circuit inside, and the psychic wizard projects part of his consciousness into the golem.

Carry out control.

After cobbling together various schools of thought, they managed to assemble seventy demon statues. When the time comes, the Psychic Academy will send corresponding personnel to assist in the battle.

Listening to these news, Lin En couldn't laugh or cry. It seemed that there had been peace for a long time. These wizards had never thought about starting a war. If the church suddenly came over suddenly, then the entire wizarding land would probably be 100% strong or even 50% strong.

Can't make it work.

"Your Excellency Lin En, I heard from Master Raphael that the Iyeta School has developed a new weapon called a musket. It is much more powerful than crossbows and can easily penetrate armor and even [Mage Shield].

, is that so?" Sanchez asked curiously.

They have all read the report submitted by Raphael, and it clearly mentioned that this is a weapon that can threaten wizards by ordinary people who have been trained.

"Not bad." Linn nodded.

"Then what's the price of this thing?" Sanchez continued. He has been responsible for the training of the newly recruited 20,000 new troops, and he is naturally the most concerned about this new weapon.

"Two magic gold coins and a musket!" Lin En pondered for a long time before speaking, and gave a price that was neither high nor low.

The cost of making a musket alone is about 15 magic silver coins. Taking into account the labor and transportation costs, it will need to be doubled. However, Linn has no intention of opening his mouth like a lion. Faced with a church that does not know the details, everyone must do their best.

Just go there...

And compared to the musket itself, the continuously consumed ammunition is the most profitable...

In view of the fire sale price given by Lynn, Sanchez purchased 10,000 muskets without hesitation.

Now it was Lin En's turn to be in trouble. "The output of the musket workshop is still very limited now. Let's do this. I can give you two thousand flintlock muskets first and rotate them for daily training. There is no problem. They are not needed.

It’s very accurate, as long as you know how to use it, then you can slowly make up for it!”

Iyetta's musket making workshop has been expanding recently. It can now produce about 3,000 muskets per month. As the workers become more skilled, the production should continue to increase, but they want to get together in a short time.

Thousands of muskets are not an easy task.

As for the leakage of technology, this is inevitable, and Linn doesn't care much about it. Darren and others are already studying the production of percussion guns.

By the time someone can reproduce the flintlock gun, this thing will probably become obsolete.

After negotiating the sale of the muskets, Lynn and Sanchez turned to discuss the issue of army training.

Sanchez, who was born in the land of wizards, was completely blind to the training of the legions. Fortunately, after working together, he figured out some ways, such as how to let them cooperate with the magic of wizards, and how to simulate two armies.

Confrontation or something.

Lin En's methods are much more direct. For the Musketeers, discipline is the first priority, and the second is battlefield adaptability. How to face the enemy's group charge, or even the rain of arrows, and still stand on the spot and finish the job calmly.

Clean the rifling, place ammunition, aim and fire, etc.

So he directly asked the wizards who were idle in Iyetta to capture some monsters and let the Musketeers form a small team to fight.

The deterrence of these monsters is no less than that of the battlefield. Facing a fire lion flying towards it with its body full of fire, the person who can complete the reloading, firing and shooting is a qualified musketeer!

"This method is pretty good!" Sanchez said with appreciation. With a wizard watching from the side, there wouldn't be any big problems, so he immediately decided to popularize it.

The recruits who were training far away from Greenriel City had no idea that their nightmare was about to begin!

Just as the Wizarding Land was urgently preparing for war, the mighty mining slave liberation movement in the Kingdom of [Hadra Tower] became increasingly fierce.

Starting from the small Barony of York, Redel took less than a month to sweep nearly one-seventh of the territory of the Kingdom of Hadhrata and organized a team of tens of thousands of people!

Great Earl Joyce was so frightened that he fled overnight and spread the shocking news to the capital of [Hadera Tower]...
