I Made Scientific Magic

  Chapter 258 The Earl Joyce who was scared and fled overnight

  After the meeting, a group of members of the House of Representatives left the territory of the sky with heavy hearts.

  After Lin En got acquainted with several great wizards, he also took the time to ask about Greenriel's combat readiness.

  In the past few months, the parliament has convened and trained an army of 20,000 people.

  Compared to the empire and the church, this is obviously not enough, but the population of the wizarding land is limited, and the total is only 600,000 to 700,000 people. It is impossible to engage in crowd tactics like their enemies, and they can only win by quality.

  Although the so-called quality is just an extravagant hope, after all, these legions don't have much combat experience at all.

  Besides, the magical beasts domesticated by potion wizards may also come in handy.

   Then there are magic crystal cannons and golems, which are the killers of wizards!

   First of all, the magic crystal cannon, its principle is to compress the magic power stored in the magic crystal and fire it out in the most basic way.

   Simple but effective!

  Ordinary magic crystal cannons are about as powerful as third-ring magic, while advanced magic crystal cannons can be compared to fourth-ring magic.

  Although the gap is only one ring of magic, the power has increased by more than ten times!

  In contrast, the cost of advanced magic crystal cannons is also extremely expensive. Every time a bombardment is fired, a fist-sized magic crystal needs to be consumed, which means that hundreds of magic gold coins are only enough to fire one shell.

  Lin En had the honor to experience and control this special alchemy weapon before, and he also had a rough estimate of its power.

  In terms of destructive power alone, it is much stronger than the cannon produced in the workshop. The disadvantage is that it is expensive and has a limited range of attack.

Since there was no need for war in the Wizard's Land before, and the manufacturing process itself is very complicated, even if the two kinds of magic crystal cannons add up, the number is only a hundred, and most of them are arranged in Greenriel City and Magic Crystal Cannon. Around the quarry.

   But this is all an illusion. It was not until the parliament was preparing for the war that it was discovered that due to lack of maintenance and even being sold by someone, there are only fifty guns left that can be used.

  As the president of the Alchemy Association, [Magic Creator] Vittorio was furious, and the Alchemy Association was severely rectified.

The second is the golem, which is even more expensive than the magic crystal cannon. It is all made of solid mithril, forming a unique magic inscription circuit inside, and a part of the consciousness is projected into the golem by the psionic wizard. Take control.

   After patchwork from various schools, they managed to scrape together 70 golems. At that time, the Spiritual Academy will send corresponding personnel to assist in the battle.

Hearing the news, Lynn couldn't help but laugh. It seems that there has been peace for a long time before, and these wizards have never thought about going to war. If the church suddenly called, then the entire wizarding land is estimated to be 10% to 50%. Can't make it out.

"Your Excellency Lynn, I heard from Master Raphael that the Iyeta School has developed a new type of weapon called a musket, which is much more powerful than a crossbow and can easily penetrate armor and even [mage shields] , Is that so?" Sanchez asked curiously.

  They have all read the report submitted by Raphael, and it is clearly mentioned that this is a weapon that can allow trained ordinary people to threaten wizards.

   "Not bad." Lynn nodded.

   "What's the price of this thing?" Sanchez continued. He has been in charge of the training of the newly recruited 20,000 new troops, and he is naturally the most concerned about this new weapon.

   "Two magic gold coins and a musket!" Lin En said after pondering for a long time, offering a price that was neither high nor low.

The cost of making a musket alone is about 15 magic silver coins. Considering the cost of labor and transportation, it needs to be doubled. just go...

   And compared to the musket itself, the ammunition that is constantly consumed is the most profitable...

  In view of the sale price given by Lynn, Sanchez did not hesitate to purchase 10,000 muskets.

   Now it was Lynn's turn to make trouble. "Right now the musket workshop's output is still very limited. How about this? I can give you two thousand flintlock guns first. It's no problem to rotate them for daily training. It doesn't matter how accurate they are, as long as they know how to use them. I'll make up for it later!"

Iyeta's musket making workshop has been expanding recently, and now it can produce about 3,000 muskets per month. After those workers are skilled, they should be able to continue to increase production, but they want to get together in a short time. Ten thousand muskets is not an easy task.

   As for the leak of technology, this is inevitable, and Lynn doesn't care much about it. Darren and others are already researching the production of percussion guns.

  Wait until someone can reproduce the flintlock gun, it is estimated that this thing has become an obsolete thing.

  After discussing the sale of muskets, Lynn and Sanchez turned to discussing the training of the army.

Sanchez, who was born in the land of wizards, was completely blind to the training of the legion. Fortunately, he managed to figure out some methods, such as how to make them cooperate with the wizard's magic, and simulate the two armies. Rivalry or something.

Lynn's method is much more straightforward. For the Musketeers, discipline is the first priority, and the second is the adaptability of the battlefield. How to face the enemy's mass charge, or even the arrow rain, and still stand still and complete it calmly Actions such as cleaning the rifling, placing ammunition, aiming and firing.

  So he directly asked the wizards who were idle in Iyeta to catch some monsters, and let the Musketeers form a small team to fight.

  The deterrence of these monsters is not weaker than that of the battlefield. Facing a fire lion that is flying towards you, who can complete reloading, shooting, and shooting is a qualified musketeer!

   "This method is not bad!" Sanchez said appreciatively, and there would be no major problems with wizards watching from the side, so he immediately decided to promote it.

   The recruits who were training far outside the city of Greenriel didn't know that their nightmare was about to begin!

  While the land of wizards was urgently preparing for war affairs, the mighty miner liberation movement in the kingdom of [Hadrata] became more and more intense.

  Starting from the small Barony of York, it took less than a month for Raedel to have swept nearly one-seventh of the [Hadrata] Kingdom's territory, and organized a team of tens of thousands!

  Elder Earl Joyce was so frightened that he fled overnight, and spread the shocking news to [Hadrata] King's Capital...
