Release that Witch - Chapter 28

[Chapter 28]

But when Roland operated it himself, he realized that the actual situation was not as simple as he thought.

After working in the backyard for four or five days, the drill bit with higher hardness was successfully made. Using Anna’s high-temperature flame, he can easily obtain molten iron with a temperature of more than 1500 degrees.

Without temperature constraints, small batches of steel can be produced conveniently and quickly by the conventional steel frying method—that is, the molten iron is stirred quickly with an iron rod, so that the excess carbon and other impurities in the pig iron are fully oxidized in contact with the air, and after repeated several times, the molten iron is Cool down to get high-quality steel.

The problem was with the steam machine number one.

The noise and vibration of this prototype machine are very alarming when it is working, and even the drill bit cannot drill a complete iron pipe stably.

That level of chatter is inconsequential when doing rough work, but machining the barrel obviously won’t do.

To improve this, he had to first create a centrifugal governor to control the output power of the steam engine, and then use gear combinations to reduce vibration and adjust the rotation rate of the drill bit.

And processing gears requires a simple lathe.

Calculated in this way, Roland found that he had no way to achieve this goal before the arrival of the Demon Moon.

In the end, we can only use the old method, relying on the blacksmith’s hands to hammer it out.

The plan to mass-produce muskets went bankrupt. According to the number of blacksmith shops in Border Town, at most 3-4 gun barrels could be produced a month, and this was when the production of the second steam engine was stopped.

The only good news is don’t worry about the pass rate of the barrel.

The blacksmith just knocked out roughly round pipes, and then Anna stitched them together. The effect is close to the seamless pipes cut by a boring knife, basically eliminating the risk of bombing.

In desperation, Roland had no choice but to revise his previous plan. He originally planned to recruit hunters from Border Town to form a musketeer team – most of them are proficient in archery, whether it is a bow or a crossbow, they are handy weapons.

The additional firearms training takes a short time, which can make them quickly equipped for combat.

But now up to four flintlock guns can be made in the month of demons, so only the most outstanding hunters can be selected to create an elite team.

Roland decided to hand over this matter to Iron Axe. He had been in Border Town for fifteen years and was recognized as the best hunter.

*******************

Brian has not been happy for the past half month.

Especially when meeting militiamen on the street, the feeling of unhappiness will be doubled… even a little bit of unwillingness in my heart.

He felt that he was forgotten by His Royal Highness.

When he was called by the chief knight a month ago, he was full of excitement.

How fortunate and honorable it is to have a close contact with the fourth prince and accept His Highness’s personal inquiry.

He grew up in Border Town. Although he came from an ordinary Orion family, he took up the position of patrol captain by virtue of his own ability.

He knew that he could not rely on his family to become a knight, so he could only wait for the opportunity to make meritorious deeds and accept the canonization of the superior.

His Highness’s inquiry made him feel that the opportunity had come. Obviously, the fourth prince Roland was unwilling to give up his territory, and he was trying to find a way to fight against the evil beast.

The rampant construction of the city wall afterwards also proved one point. There is no doubt that they will spend the month of demons in Border Town this year.

If you want to stop the invasion of evil beasts here, you must form a team that dares to fight head-on.

Bryan thought he was the one to do his part. He is proficient in scouting, swordsmanship and riding. He stays there every year until the beacon fire is lit at the end to prove that he is not lacking in courage. But he never expected that His Highness planned to choose a team from among the common people. Fight evil beasts!

That’s right, a purely civilian team, not just him, none of the ten members of the entire patrol team passed the review of the chief knight.

This is simply incredible. Could it be that His Highness thinks that this group of people who have never held a sword are better at fighting than themselves?

I’m afraid they will be defeated when they see the ferocious appearance of the evil beast!

But His Highness seems to be serious… He is not only training this group of rabble, he has also distributed uniform uniforms to them.

Every afternoon Brian would see this group of men in brown and gray leather armor running down the street in two files.

The team was sparse at the beginning, but it has become more and more organized recently.

And myself, still performing boring tasks every day, see no hope of promotion.

When he tossed and turned at night and couldn’t sleep, there was a noise from the next door, and then the door was pushed open, and someone came in quietly.

“Hey, get up,” the visitor called in a low voice.

Brian recognized the other party’s voice, it was a member of the patrol team, a guy nicknamed Fierce Scar.

There were five people sleeping in his room. Except for himself and Greyhound, the other three quickly got up, as if they had been prepared, without even taking off their coats.

“Captain, get up, I have something important to tell you.”

Fierce Scar has a noble relative in Longsong Fortress. I heard that he is a great nobleman, so he has a high status in the team. Brian couldn’t ignore him, so he got up and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Greyhound was also woken up, “It’s… so late, you… don’t you… sleep?”

“I have a good job to introduce to you. Do you want to be canonized as knights?”

“What… what? Knight?” Greyhound asked in surprise.

Brian’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, “What kind of job is it?”

“You all know my uncle Hiltai, right? He is the earl who was entrusted by the Duke, and he is also the confidant of the Lord. He told me this news himself,” Fierce Scar said in a low voice, “The fourth prince is going to leave Longsong Fortress alone. Do it, it made His Excellency the Duke very unhappy. He decided to let the prince know who is the master of the western region.”

“Difficult, difficult, is it… are you going to… stab, stab…” Greyhound stuttered even more when he was nervous, and he couldn’t complete a sentence for a long time.

“How is it possible,” Fierce Scar sneered, “No matter what he is, he is still a prince. If he dies, even the Duke will not be able to protect us. As I said, this is a good job.”

Bright subconsciously felt that this deal was definitely not as simple as he claimed, but the temptation to become a knight was too great, so he couldn’t help but said, “Let’s hear it.”

“Food. If there is no food, he can only go back to Longsong Fortress obediently. This job was promised by the Duke. As long as we can successfully burn the food bought by the fourth prince, he will hold a canonization ceremony for us, and in the fortress A fief in the east was given to us. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Captain, what do you think?”

“You, you are crazy… Lah, Your Highness, Didn’t Your Highness say that this year… the month of demons is likely to last…for more than four months, you burned, burned the food, what are you going to eat!” Greyhound repeated Shaking his head, he said, “What happened two…two years ago, dah, everyone forgot?”

“What’s our business?” Another person said disdainfully, “Anyway, I don’t plan to stay here, and we can live a comfortable life in the fortress after finishing Lord Ryan’s business.”

“That’s right, do you still want to eat slag for the rest of your life in this ghost place?” Others also chimed in.

Hell, they had colluded long ago, Brett felt a chill, except that he and Greyhound grew up in Border Town, most of them came from all over the kingdom, and they didn’t have any nostalgia for the town at all.

Seeing that he was unable to stop it, he had no choice but to change the subject and said, “But the wheat has been transferred to the castle of His Royal Highness, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com The door is guarded by His Royal Highness’s personal guard knights, how can you get in? ”

“That’s why I called you,” Fierce Scar said with a smug smile, “I’ve lived in this poor place since I was a child, and no one is more familiar with the environment here than you. I remember you once said that there is a place in the back ravine The abandoned well is connected to the water channel below the castle. Through it, you can go directly to the castle garden quietly. Didn’t you climb into it when you were a child? How about it, do this with me, and you can become a knight in the future ——and a knight conferred by the Duke himself.”

No… knights should have the courage to fight against injustice, should not be afraid of power, and protect the weak!

Just for the Duke’s personal grievances, put the town residents at risk of starvation and death?

Apart from being an empty shell, what glory does such a knight have!

Just as he was about to refuse, the Greyhound had already barked.

“One, a group of lunatics! You, you, dare to make an idea of food, I will never, never let you leave here! I will report, report to…cough,” Greyhound said halfway, his voice suddenly Freezing, he turned his head in disbelief, and a former teammate was standing behind him and sneered at him.

The black dagger was inserted from behind Greyhound’s waist, and the dagger completely sank into his body.

He trembled twice, opened his mouth to say something, but could only make a hoarse inhalation sound.

The opponent stirred the dagger twice, and then pulled it back violently. The Greyhound immediately collapsed to the ground like a rag doll that had lost its support.

“How is it?” Fierce Scar approached Brett, who could even feel the stench from his mouth, “I think you should have made up your mind, Captain?”
