Hearthstone Farm Lord

Chapter 211 [Shipborne Artillery] (Thanks to Yin Gongza for the black tea monthly ticket)
After sending off Khadgar, Sean, Windsor, and Anduin rode back to the town.

In the center of town, the three split their activities.

Anduin went to find the dwarf sharpshooter, and also went to greet the dwarf blacksmiths;
Sean took Windsor to the mill outside the castle.

Sean was very familiar with this mill.

More than ten days ago, Sean directed the carpenter Paul to make a distillation device in this mill, successfully distilled spirits, and obtained a huge amount of gold coins in Jorn City.

But Sean took all the craftsmen away when he went to Jorn City, so the mill was idle at that time until now.

When Sean walked into the mill again, the mill was already covered with dust.

After entering the mill, Sean first looked around.

It was very quiet in the mill, no one was there.

Sean was worried, and checked every small room in the mill. After confirming that there was no one, Sean gave Windsor instructions:
"Wendsor, close the door! I'll show you a treasure!"

"baby?"

Windsor closed the door and asked curiously:

"What kind of treasure? Are you going to summon a 'Frostmourne' for me?"

Sean wiped his sweat:

"Why do you only remember Frostmourne? Can't there be some higher pursuits? Like Ashbringer, Quel'shara... and even the Blazing Battle Ax that is often blown up, isn't it good?"

But Windsor didn't understand: "My lord, what is 'complete explosion'?"

"That's it."

Sean sorted out the language, not knowing how to explain it to Windsor.

After thinking for a while, Sean said:

"When I reach the silver rank, I will summon you a [Silverback Patriarch] and a lot of other three-fee followers. At that time, you will understand what 'complete explosion' is.

Well, let's not talk about this, let's take a look at this baby first! "

Sean snapped his fingers, and a white light flashed from his fingertips.

Bai Guang turned into a giant and appeared in front of him and Windsor, it was the [Shipborne Artillery].

But unfortunately, the position where [Shipborne Artillery] appears is not on the ground but in mid-air.

So with a loud bang, the [ship-mounted artillery] fell to the ground, raising a huge burst of dust.

"Cough, cough."

The dust in the sky made Sean and Windsor cough continuously.

Fortunately, Sean is a water mage, and he condensed the water elements in the air to form a small area of ​​rain in the mill, which suppressed the dust.

After the dust dissipated, Sean hurriedly looked towards [Shipborne Artillery], and the panel of the Shipborne Artillery appeared in front of Sean at the right time:

Name: [Shipborne Artillery]

Quality: Normal

Race: Mechanical

Level: 23

Attack ability: strong
Defense ability: none
special power:

[Pirate Exclusive]: When controlled by pirates, it will not explode or escape, and its power will be +20%.

[Ocean Adaptability]: When fighting in the ocean environment, flexibility +10%, loss -10%.

Unlike other living minions, [Ship Cannon] is purely a cannon.

The total length of the artillery is not very long, less than 3 meters by visual inspection, but the black hole of the muzzle still shows its impressive power.

The base and wheels of the cannon are made of wood, and the wheels are covered with iron to increase the stability of the wheels.

Along with the [Shipborne Artillery], there is also a box of cannonballs.

It is worth mentioning that there is a thick telescope or scope above the [ship-mounted artillery]. Sean doesn't know the specific purpose of this thing.

Seeing the appearance of [ship-mounted artillery], Windsor said with some disdain:
"My lord, it is the good thing you said! Isn't this just an ordinary artillery?"

"Wendsor, this is different. After all, there is no artillery in this world, but we have! This is its greatest value!" Sean laughed.

Windsor sighed: "Of course I know the value of artillery, which can enhance the combat effectiveness of the army. But you can't take this as a good thing, it makes me happy for nothing!"

Sean didn't answer, but walked to the side of the [ship-mounted artillery] and touched its black and thick barrel.

At the same time, Sean also used the telescope in front of the artillery to look at it, and he could indeed see the distant target clearly. It seemed to be a good telescope.

Sean said happily: "This telescope is very good, it is an unexpected gain for us!"

Windsor asked: "My lord, you summoned [Ship Cannon] to let the dwarves imitate it, right?"

Sean nodded:

"Of course, we won't make this, we can only let the dwarf blacksmith do it.

By the way, I will ask Anduin to draw up a non-disclosure agreement to prevent them from leaking the production method of the cannon and musket."

Sean was talking, when suddenly he heard a knock on the gate of the mill:
"My lord, are you there?"

"you are?"

"I am White Bronzebeard."

Only then did Sean realize that it was the dwarf sharpshooter White Bronzebeard who was here.

Without waiting for Sean's order, Wen De Sole walked to the gate of the mill and opened it, and White Bronzebeard walked in quickly.

At this moment, White Bronzebeard was still holding his own equipment - musket.

White Bronzebeard first glanced at the most conspicuous ship-mounted artillery in the open space, and then said to Sean:

"Lord, why did you call me here?"

"It's like this." Sean explained to White Bronzebeard:

"When I returned to River Beach Town this time, I brought back a lot of dwarf blacksmiths. I wanted them to imitate and mass-produce the muskets in your hands. With a large number of muskets, the strength of our territory can rise to a higher level."

After hearing what Sean said, White Bronzebeard said happily:

"Great, I've been waiting for a day for a long time! In fact, my musket ran out of gunpowder more than ten days ago, and now the musket is just a decoration.

Sir, here you go. "

White Bronzebeard handed Shaun his musket.

Sean took the musket, but after getting it, Sean felt a bit difficult, so he asked:

"White, can you take this musket apart? I don't want dwarven blacksmiths to see it in its entirety."

"Of course! But it will take some time." White Bronzebeard replied.

"Well, you can dismantle it now, we are not in a hurry."

Sean breathed a sigh of relief, and patted White Bronzebeard on the shoulder.

Because the mill was full of mud now, White Bronzebeard found a clean place and began to disassemble the musket.

Sean and Windsor studied the ship-borne artillery and discussed the use of telescopes on the battlefield.

As far as Sean knows, telescope + hot air balloon is a very good means of battlefield detection.

But high-level archers in this world have extremely long range, so a hot air balloon that is almost a living target can be awkward.

But binoculars are still necessary to make, and the individual equipment used as scouts is also very good.
