"Your Majesty, this weapon is called a breech gun, which can be seen as an upgraded version of the arquebus, no, this weapon is simply different from the arquebus."
"Let me show you."
In the palace of the Rhaegar Empire, Ivan II, who was sitting on the throne, watched with interest the introduction of the casting magician, and just now the casting magician rushed to the palace and asked to see him.
Ivan II believed in the vision of these casting magicians, after all, they were the best craftsmen.
The casting magician brought a strange stick that looked a little different from the arquebus, and then the casting magician stuffed something called a "bullet" into the gun and pulled the bolt.
With a loud explosion of gunpowder, Ivan II's extraordinary eyes could see a metal warhead flying out of the barrel of a gun at an incredible speed.
The metal warhead, propelled by the force of gunpowder, pierced a target two hundred meters away, which was a solid oak shield. It was enough to withstand the slash of the sword, but it was easily penetrated by a small metal warhead.
"Interesting weapons, let's introduce them well." Ivan II came with some interest.
The casting magician immediately said: "I found that this weapon has very little requirements for the user, as long as it can resist the recoil when the bullet is fired, any ordinary person can do it." This
surprised Ivan II, if the conditions for using this weapon were so simple, then not anyone could use it, like a crossbow.
An ordinary crossbow can give a child the ability to kill adults, but if you add some magic runes and special arrows, you can kill an ordinary person without extraordinary powers.
In the opinion of Ivan II, this so-called breech gun is actually no less powerful than the magic crossbow.
"So how much does this thing cost?" Ivan II asked what he cared about most.
"The cost is very low!" The casting magician said excitedly: "Your Majesty, only a magician with a level of only black iron, using two low-level magics of metal melting and magic plasticity, can successfully manufacture half of the breech gun in half a day, as for the bullet, the manufacturing method is also very simple, as for the gunpowder in the bullet, I am working backwards." Ivan
II was shocked, according to what the casting magician said, then making this weapon is indeed very simple, and it is a little more troublesome than making ordinary crossbows, but the power is far more than crossbows.
"But how is this gunpowder different from our usual gunpowder?" Of course, Ivan II knew about such a thing as gunpowder, and in ancient times did not know that gadgets passed down from there, which were generally only used to make fireworks, until a craftsman used gunpowder to make an arquebus, and gunpowder became a weapon.
"Your Majesty, there are some differences between the gunpowder in the bullet and the gunpowder in the fireworks, although I can detect that the gunpowder in the bullet is also composed of saltpeter, sulfur and carbon, but the bullet gunpowder is indeed granular, not powder."
The casting magician knew that ordinary gunpowder was powder, but after he opened the bullet, he found that the gunpowder inside was granular, and he realized that this may be the reason why the bullet gunpowder was more powerful.
"Very good, since it is so simple to make this breech gun, then I will let the magic apprentices in the royal capital make this weapon." Ivan II felt that he had simply found a treasure, as long as he could create a large number of breech guns, he could transform a large number of ordinary people into powerful combat power.
"By the way, who exactly is the inventor of this weapon? Reward him well. Ivan II only noticed at this time that he still did not know who invented this breech gun.
"Your Majesty, this breech gun was obtained by the Secret Guard from Count Veronica, but it is said that Count Veronica also bought it from merchants from the free trade city-state." The casting magician replied cautiously.
"Wait, what do you say, you actually bought it from the free trade castle!" Ivan II immediately rose from his throne, and a terrible aura spread from his body.
"That group of damn merchants will definitely sell to the Orc Empire!"
The excitement of Ivan II to acquire a new weapon at this time immediately disappeared, because he knew that since this weapon was sold by the free trade city-state, then the damned merchants would definitely sell this weapon to the orc royal court as well.
Ivan II knew those merchants very well, but the free trade city-state was far away, and the Rhaegar Empire could not do anything with this city-state, unless it could have a strong navy, but now the Rhaegar Empire must fight with all its strength against the orc royal court on the ground, and could not divide the forces to build a navy.
He guessed the thoughts of the merchants in the free trade city-state, whether it was the Rhaegar Empire or the Orc King Court, after seeing this weapon, as long as his brain was not stupid, he knew that this weapon must not fall into the hands of the opponent, even if the opponent also had this weapon, he must have more guns in his hand than the opponent.
Ivan II knew that he could only make more guns now, and at the same time buy more guns in the free trade city-states.
Although the Empire can make them, in order to prevent the Orc Court from getting these guns, the Rhaegar Empire must buy them.
Ivan II knew that the manufacturing ability of the orcs was actually very poor, they could not make anything precise, at most strike iron.
Even if those orc craftsmen can make guns, the quality is not too good.
"It seems that the start of the war must be postponed."
After recognizing the power of breech guns, Ivan II decided to temporarily postpone the war with the orc court, at least until there were enough breech guns to start the war.
Although for those strong, the breech gun is a weapon of little use, but for ordinary orc soldiers, this weapon is absolutely deadly, and any ordinary steel armor without magic blessings cannot resist the power of bullets.
"Pass on the order, immediately increase the conscription of ordinary civilians, even if those civilians are not extraordinary, they need to be recruited into the army."
Ivan II has given an order that the power of guns in the hands of a transcendent and an ordinary person is the same, so try to add the transcendent who originally had any role on the battlefield to the army.
As emperor, Ivan II also had great power in the Rhaegar Empire, and was even able to forcibly recruit troops in the territories of some nobles.
You know, this kind of thing is simply impossible in other kingdoms, and the rights of ordinary nobles are very large, but with the efforts of several generations of emperors of the Rhaegar Empire, the imperial power has reached its peak.
