Mage Lord: The Tech Tree is Skewed by Me

"boom!"

As the first batch of magic element cannons produced by Antolia's craftsmen.

It won't necessarily be very powerful, but the sound will definitely be loud.

As the stone bullets shot along the parabola, they smashed into round stone pits on the dry and cold ground. The flying dust caused all the creatures living around to flee in panic.

Although the soldiers of Antolia were also excited about this, after the initial surprise, when the soldiers realized that they would have the opportunity to control this era-changing long-range weapon, the excitement deep in their hearts was... Nature is difficult to describe in words.

The Antolians are indeed good at fighting.

But they are not life-threatening lunatics.

If you can cause damage to the enemy from a long distance, it will naturally be much better than close combat.

While the soldiers were excited, the Antolian craftsmen headed by Skop had no time to cheer.

As the person in charge of the magic element cannon project, Scoop was keenly aware of the current problems of these artillery pieces amid the gunfire on the front line.

If the reloading time is too long, it will be difficult for the stone projectiles to cause effective damage, and sometimes there is even the possibility of exploding the barrel.

These are issues that need to be addressed urgently.

These are all difficulties that he and his team members need to overcome as soon as possible.

If one day, these problems can be solved as soon as possible, then... it is really hard for Scoop to imagine what war in this era will eventually look like.

The situation of war will change and tactics will change.

A knight in heavy armor may become as fragile as a levy, and a powerful personal force may be mercilessly shattered by the roar of artillery fire.

But these are not the most important.

As an Antolian craftsman who was personally awarded a noble title by Leon, Scoop knew very well that the magical elemental cannon would make Antolia's military strength proud of all forces in the entire northern continent in the near future!

perhaps……

This is probably the Maximism that the Marquis often mentioned.

Scoop thought very seriously in his heart.

…

The Antolians did not hide the existence of the magical elemental cannon.

Although outside the Abandoned Land, the existence of the Magic Elemental Cannon is classified as top secret.

But in the land of the Abandoned Land, especially in the Antorian settlements in the north of the Abandoned Land, the magic element cannon is actually not a secret.

There is no way. If you want to quickly clean up the hostile creatures in the northern part of the abandoned land, you will definitely need to fire.

And as soon as the cannon is fired, the rumble of the cannon cannot be concealed.

What's more, a place like the Abandoned Land with a large number of foreign races has stronger military strength, which means that the settlements built by the Antolians in the north of the Abandoned Land will become more stable. The stability maintenance work will also play a big role.

It is precisely for this reason that after fully considering the strict confidentiality awareness of people in this era, the method of confidentiality that Leon finally adopted was actually a physical method.

for example……

Strict controls were placed on the movement of people taking place in the Bergori Pass.

As long as the refugees heading to the abandoned land can't get out, the news won't leak out.

Of course, this method is difficult to stop prying eyes.

but……

Leon never thought that he could keep it secret.

The later the news is delivered, the more advantageous it will be for Antolia.

As for how long it can be delayed, it all depends on the professional ability of the informants and the rigor of the garrison in the Bergori Pass area.

It was precisely because of this line of thinking that when Walder Carter arrived at the Abandoned Land, he was really shocked.

The rumble of cannons was heard in the distance again and again, and even echoed repeatedly in his ears.

For those who see this kind of scene for the first time, this is undoubtedly a huge stimulation.

Coupled with the unique external environment of the abandoned land - the black mist in the distance, vegetation and trees with different postures, and a large number of strange-looking creatures such as grass lizards and carrot rats.

Walder Carter had barely passed the heavily fortified Bergori Pass when he was completely stunned.

As a waiter beside King Wilbert I, of course he had heard of the name of the abandoned place.

but……

Hearing something with your ears and seeing it with your own eyes are completely different things.

What's more, in today's abandoned land, there are not only those strange creatures, but also Fort Wilson, which is rising from the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Countless laborers sweated under the shade of the World Tree, working faithfully in this area that was once regarded as the abandoned land of the gods.

In addition, there are elves, dwarves, world trees, and even skeletons here!

Walder Carter felt that everything in front of him needed to be reported.

And as long as you arrive at the settlement planned for you by the Antolians, you have to do this!

Thinking of this, Walder Carter secretly made up his mind.

only……

When he finally arrived at the settlement, he was completely dumbfounded.

yes.

In the settlements north of the Abandoned Lands, the refugees do have freedom.

They can go to Fort Wilson to buy various living supplies, build their own houses with the support of the Jimena family, and cultivate a large amount of farmland.

But the problem is...

Knowing that there may be many informants of other nobles among these refugees, Leon certainly could not be unprepared.

In fact, the heavily fortified Bergori Pass was only the last line of defense.

besides……

paper.

Whether it is kraft paper, parchment paper, or white paper produced and used by Antolia, they are all controlled items in the abandoned land!

If you want to convey information, you must have paper, right?

But the problem is that Abandoned doesn’t have one!

It's not impossible to buy paper, but you must register your household registration information!

This almost immediately cut off the necessary carrier for information transmission.

Ordinary people don’t need paper anyway.

They couldn't read or write, so there was no use in buying them.

so……

Walder Carter soon realized the biggest difficulty in his infiltration plan.

It's not difficult to infiltrate, nor is it difficult to obtain information.

Because almost everything in the abandoned land was presented to him without reservation.

Here he saw countless strong prisoners of war from Walras, countless settlers from various places under the rule of the Jimena family, and even many elves from the Moonshadow Forest.

There is a giant city under construction here, with a large number of elite soldiers and new weapons, vast arable land, and the black mist that is gradually dissipating in the Antolian cleanup plan.

But the problem is...

How should he pass on the information?

For a time, Walder Carter couldn't help but fall into autistic isolation. (End of chapter)
