Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

The ships departing from Haimen Pass did not choose to go directly to the New World. Instead, they listened to Bruni's advice and were guided by Caledo.

In addition to the Rune Master and Anvil Guards, as well as the two dwarf patriarchs accompanying Iron Peak Castle, two more people were added.

Grim Bloxson, the geeky engineer of Torrent Pass, and Getres Ironaxe, a close associate of the High King.

The mustachioed dwarf wearing a monocle was very curious about the elven military fortress. He kept using a pencil to analyze the layout of the fortress on paper, the staggered coverage of each fire projection point, the ability to sustain strikes, and whether the route of action would be affected by a surprise attack. Create a break.

Not long after, the clever mustache also quickly analyzed the approximate upper limit of this military fortress. Although it was small in scale, many facilities were only a framework and were not completed.

However, the layout is rigorous and the areas are clearly divided. If a battle occurs in any direction, support teams can be dispatched to resist within 10 minutes.

He glanced at the young pointed-eared man who was accompanying him, and without thinking much, he directly told what he wanted to know most.

"I heard that Caledo's research on engineering has reached a very high level, but the construction method of this fortress seems to continue the previous model."

Elvis casually mentioned that this matter was not considered a secret. The dwarves knew that there was a Vaal priest in the Nunn Palace who assisted in the industrialization of the empire.

Theoretically speaking, since we are both in the old world, it is impossible for our bilateral ideals and styles to be so great.

"Prince Edgar, who is in charge here, does not agree with new things very much. If you want to see Caledor's engineering level, it is best to go to Qingyan Port, but whether you can enter the arsenal needs to be decided by the palace. "

Bloxen snorted disdainfully, Elf engineering?It's a big joke. Without the magic, these pointed ears are just like a group of disabled children.

Unlike the hard and tenacious dwarves, gears and transmissions, steel and gunpowder are enough to crush large numbers of enemy armies.

Noticing the engineer's disdainful expression, Elvis waved his hand for someone to take Torek to prepare the ship for the trip. He raised the golden rose embossed revolver on his waist to Bloxson and said jokingly,

"But I happen to have a gunpowder weapon that is considered the most cutting-edge in Caledor. The rifle you are carrying seems to be a special product. Why not give it a try?"

This scratches the engineer's itch and hurts the pointy-eared self-esteem. Is there anything more wonderful in the world than this? Even if there is, it can only kill the green skin.

Elvis, who has evolved into the standard vocalist of Caledor's high-level officials, in order to prevent Edgar from getting angry afterwards because of his unprovoked shooting in the fortress area, Elvis took Broxon to the shooting range on the seaside, raised the revolver and started loading bullets.

In fact, Elvis has always felt that the thing in his hand is a gun, but it might as well be said to be a magic launcher. When the firing pin hits the end of the bullet, the black powder will be ignited first and push the bullet forward.

In order to make up for the lack of bullet caliber and lack of penetration caused by the small amount of gunpowder, the heretical priest who didn't know what money was, frantically carved powerful propulsion runes on the small hammer. When it comes into contact with hard objects, a strong power will be emitted. .

Coupled with a magic warhead that is several times more expensive than gold of equal weight, the general attack method is to penetrate the enemy's thick armor, and then the sharp metal explodes from the body, forming a thorn of flesh and blood.

The crude armor taken from the pirates was placed on the target, stacked five times. Blom smiled heartily, took out the special double-barreled rifle he was carrying, and used an iron rod to pour the black powder at the bottom of the barrel. Rolled flat, the two barrels are each equipped with special large solid projectiles.

Close your left eye, hold the gun in front of your chest, and place the butt against your shoulder.

After briefly aiming at a distance of 50 meters, a thunderous roar was fired from the engineer's hands. The not-so-thick white smoke indicated that the black powder was fully burned.

The roaring bullets penetrated the stone target wrapped in five layers of iron protective gear with one blow, and the metaphor actually meant that it was shaking.

Elvis naturally applauded it. This thing is indeed very good, much better than the muskets produced in Qingyan Port.

Generally speaking, there are only two ways to develop guns: increase the caliber and use power to cover up accuracy, or lengthen the barrel and increase accuracy over firepower.

Apparently the dwarf engineers have found a delicate balance, while ensuring the power, the accuracy is not inferior.

Of course, as a kind of personally-made equipment, this technology is not representative. Assuming that the equipment of the Flame Knight has become standard equipment, there is no need to worry about the failure of Caledo's business.

But the charm of technology is that many items that should be used in laboratories can be mass-produced and turned into handy items. "It's your turn, elf. I hope the carved toy in your hand can bring me some surprises." Bloxson watched Elvis spin the revolver and display the gun and flowers in an exaggerated manner, which was simply insulting to the project. The concept of weapons science.

The pistol, which refracted bright rays in the sun, was naturally raised in the elf's hand. Although this method of supplementing the output was not really needed, thinking that the god seemed to be very interested in fire coverage, Elvis also took out his hand. He had trained in musket shooting for some time.

At a distance of 50 meters, for the elves, the hole penetrated by the dwarf engineer was right in front of them, and even the protruding iron sheet of the armor could be clearly seen.

When the trigger was pulled, a sound far weaker than that of a double-barreled rifle appeared. There was only a slight amount of white smoke, which did not significantly affect the sight.

This let Bloxson know that the black powder burned more fully in the gun in the elf's hand than in the double-barreled rifle in his hand.

His subconscious reaction made him guess.

Is it magic?However, it seems a bit unbelievable to cast magic on black powder, but one cannot use common sense to infer that Caledo is a heretic to the elves.

Switching his attention from the peripheral vision to the front, this little time was enough for the genius engineer with extraordinary brain power to analyze a lot of things. But after seeing the effect caused by the Elf Pistol, he suddenly found that his brain had stopped functioning and he almost gave up. think.

However, after the bullet as thick as a little finger penetrated the five layers of iron at a speed that did not meet the caliber, hundreds of steel needles suddenly pierced more than half a meter from the inside, leaving behind fine and neat holes, and immediately turned into silver-white metallic liquid toward the ground. slide.

On the rough black iron sheet, the dense traces of liquid are particularly conspicuous and cruel.

Bloxson's first reaction was not to ask the elf what the method was. He hurriedly ran to the target with his short legs. He first observed the holes in the iron sheet one by one. After getting the steel needle, he easily penetrated it. , flipping the rifle over and hitting the corners of the stone target with the butt.

The result was as expected. The inside of the stone had been pierced by steel needles into a hornet's nest. In disbelief, Blockson continued to smash the stone in an attempt to find something, but in the end he still found nothing.

I could only stand up, turn around, and ask the waiting elf loudly, "Where's the bullet? What you shot was a solid bullet!"

Elvis picked up the brass bullet casings on the ground and felt the benefit of having a big boss sponsor him. Using brass as bullet casings was like using money to fight a war.

If all bullets are replaced, it will be a huge challenge to financial and industrial resources. Even the Giant Horned Viper with the support of the snake god prophet does not dare to build an experimental bullet production room in the snake nest.

"What flows from the iron sheet is the bullet. Now you know how powerful Caledor's engineering is."

Bloxon took a deep breath. This was not engineering at all. It was a metal staff called a gun. It was heresy and a blasphemy against gears and transmissions.

But well...

Easily grinding the already riddled stone into powder, the engineer felt that he might see many incredible things on this trip. If he were an old guy in the guild, he might immediately curse the elves for their blasphemy and pick up the musket. He was about to pull the trigger and smash the Dragon Prince's ass into pieces.

But as a young man who was called a genius, Bloxson walked up to Elvis with a smile on his face. His pretended to please appearance only made the elf thorn in his back, and he almost hammered the dwarf into the ground with a slap. inside.

"This thing of yours is very good, let me see it."

Elvis naturally refused this unreasonable request, which made Bloxon become entangled, becoming more and more curious about this weapon, and believed that the opportunity to break through the technical barrier in the future might be here.

At the time of the entanglement, Pakar, who was wearing a red scarf wrapped around his head, was walking over with an extra-large minigun, thinking he had some fun to join in.

Bloxon looked at the crank-mounted cannon in horror, which was three times his size. The unique smooth color of the steel, the violent aesthetics of caliber as the beauty, and the shocking roar when it was fired were already imagined in his mind.

Malkin's wrench, this is simply...

So handsome! (End of chapter)
