Release that Witch - Chapter 38

[Chapter 38 The Era of Hot Weapons]

Iron Ax knew he was under supervision.

The Orions who participated in the test explosion that day were all moved into a small two-story building near the castle.

Looking out through the window, you can see a circle of stone walls, and the entrance and exit are guarded by guards.

He didn’t care about it at all, and even felt that His Highness only sent two personal guards to act as guards, which was really careless.

Until now, Iron Ax still has the roar of the test explosion that day in his mind – no weapon has ever brought him such a strong shock.

In the extreme south, he has seen an orange fire erupting from the ground, which can continue to burn for decades; he has also seen strong winds and huge waves covering the sky in the Endless Cape… However, the power of the sky is unpredictable, it is the earth The will of the mother or sea god is the iron whip used by the gods to punish all creatures.

However, His Highness the Prince has stolen the authority of the three gods with his own strength, and obtained the power of heaven’s punishment-although it is still far from the real Heavenly Father Thunder, it is no longer a realm that can be achieved by human beings.

If the participants are still useful in Iron Sand City, their tongues will usually be cut off.

Of course, this is not the safest way, only the dead will keep secrets forever.

As for foreigners?

They are blasphemy at a glance, and it will never be possible for foreigners to join the core class of the Mojin tribe.

Knowing that he was half of alien blood, the prince still allowed him to witness the fire of punishment with his own eyes, and planned to let him be in charge of forming the Orion team.

This kind of trust made Iron Ax’s blood surge.

In Iron Sand City, he experienced countless betrayals and frame-ups, and fled to the southern border of Graycastle. He was also discriminated against because he was half of the sand people and half of the mainland people. In the end, he came to Border Town disheartened and planned to… Relying on hunting for the rest of his life, unexpectedly, he was favored by His Royal Highness here.

He had no doubt that with this new weapon, His Royal Highness Roland Wimbledon must be the one who won the king’s order.

Thinking of having the opportunity to serve the future king, Iron Ax was very excited.

“Everyone, gather downstairs!”

Iron Ax heard the sound, looked around, and found that the person who came was the chief knight of the fourth prince, Carter Lannis.

He tidied up his clothes immediately, walked downstairs quickly, walked up to Carter and stood at attention.

He has also participated in the training of the militia, and knows that His Highness likes a well-disciplined and uniform army.

The other hunters were much slower, and it took the six of them about half an hour to line up.

“The old place, come with me,” Carter didn’t care much, and led a group of people out, heading straight for the outside of the city wall.

It was still the same place as the last test explosion, but this time the cordon was not pulled up again.

Besides Roland, there were four other knights at the scene—all of them were Carter’s subordinates.

Iron Ax noticed that His Royal Highness was fiddling with a strangely shaped metal long stick while explaining something to the knight.

Seeing Iron Ax and his party, Roland came forward, “How about it, are you still used to living in the new place?”

“Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern.” Everyone bowed and saluted, saying that the new residence was very comfortable.

In fact, the newly moved house is much better than the old house before, Tie Fu thought, at least there will be no air or rain leakage, and the roof is not made of light-transmitting straw, but neat tiles.

“That’s good,” Roland nodded. “The current arrangement is for safety reasons. You can move back when the month of demons is over. In addition, I have already distributed the first month’s salary to your family members.” , and you can also meet with them once every weekend. Of course, accompanied by guards.”

“Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness.” The hunters said happily.

This really surprised Iron Axe, aside from the iron law of the sand people, even the management of the Graycastle army should not be so lax.

Could it be that this is because of His Highness’s personal tolerance?

He was faintly worried that if he wanted to compete for the throne, he had to be ruthless – he had seen too much of this in Iron Sand City.

However, when the fourth prince said that he would test a new weapon based on gunpowder, Iron Ax immediately put these worries behind him.

He stared at the prince without blinking as he brought the two shaped iron rods in front of everyone.

“This thing is called a ‘gun’,” Roland said, “Next, I’ll tell you how to use it.

”

…

It only took Iron Ax half an hour to fully master the usage of the new weapon.

Pour the black powder that can attract the fire of punishment from heaven—that is, gunpowder into the gun barrel, insert a lead pellet, poke it straight to the bottom with a cleaning rod, then pour gunpowder into the rear medicine pool, aim at the target, and buckle Pull the trigger.

Although he thinks that he has always been talented in killing and can use swords, knives, hammers, axes, and spears proficiently, it is a skill that he has mastered after years of training and actual combat.

Mastering a weapon within half an hour, this speed is probably only comparable to the hand crossbow.

The other musket was handed over to Carter.

The chief knight was also very interested in this novelty weapon, and he refused to put it down after picking it up.

After a few rounds of simulated operations, Roland asked the two of them to test fire with live ammunition to see the effect.

The target had already been prepared, and a half-body plate armor propped up by wooden sticks was stood at a distance of about thirty feet (about 10 meters) by two other knights.

According to the shooting method dictated by the prince, Iron Ax and Carter raised their eyes and pulled the trigger.

The loud noise of the first firing startled everyone present, including Iron Axe, but soon everyone’s faces were filled with surprise.

UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com has a small hole in the half-body plate armor used as a target.

The lead shot cleanly penetrated the thickest part of the plate armor’s front chest.

Before shooting, Iron Ax had carefully observed this armor. It was obviously not a low-quality product made by a handicraft workshop. The marks of forging hammer and anvil on the collar proved that it was a standard armor from the Graycastle Blacksmiths Guild. The thickest part is about half a finger, which is enough to resist the direct shot of the hand crossbow at close range.

To deal with this kind of iron can, a heavy crossbow, warhammer or halberd is a wise choice.

In this comparison, the same easy-to-operate musket is far better than the hand crossbow, at least in terms of power.

And its reloading speed is comparable to that of a hand crossbow, and its accuracy… a thirty-foot target doesn’t mean much.

“Your Highness, the output of this thing…” Carter asked.

“There are only these two for now. When the Moon of Demons arrives, at most two more will be produced.”

Iron Ax was obviously relieved to see Carter.

He can roughly guess what the other party is thinking. If this kind of weapon is easy to manufacture, it only takes a few days of simple training to train a large number of fast “warriors” holding muskets and going into battle.

They are not limited to age, occupation, or even gender—even weak women can pose a huge threat to knights.

Although it was not as shocking as the Fire of Heaven’s Retribution, it was still a good weapon, Iron Ax thought, its huge power allowed him to easily kill some large evil beasts with thick skin and flesh on the city wall.

If he had owned a musket when facing the mixed species back then, the ending might not have been so embarrassing.

At the scene, only Roland knew the true meaning of this weapon.

He personally opened the prelude to the hot weapon war.
