A mage can only attack what he can see.

This is a saying that is popular in Central Continent and has almost become common sense in combat.Although seriously speaking, the range that a person with normal eyesight can see is far greater than the limit of a mage's spellcasting, but in Central Continent where the development of gunpowder is extremely lagging behind, only archers can compare with mages in terms of effective distance, and In terms of attack power, if it is not an elf or a talented archer, ordinary people need to arrange arrow arrays in battle to obtain similar effects as fire or wind mages.

Therefore, mages are the most profitable professions in Central Continent, especially battle mages who can hold a sword in one hand and a staff in the other. However, many mages will seek ways to improve their sensitivity and control through drugs, so the number of mages with high blood and high defense Not many.For Yun Shen, if he had to face such an opponent someday in the future, it didn't matter which type they were.

"As long as we can secure the position and have a matchlock gun, it doesn't matter whether we are facing an infantry or cavalry charge." Yun Shen said to Fan Tianlan, "It is the mage who is threatening, but the essence of power is still Energy, energy that cannot be used in place is meaningless. What we can do is to completely suppress the launch frequency and effective range, forcing them to stay outside the maximum attack range."

As long as it is not the legendary forbidden spell, Yun Shen is confident if he fights long-distance.

With their existing conditions, it is not too difficult to make simple artillery.The heat treatment furnace has already been built when the quasi-strengthened glass is manufactured, and the medium carbon steel also has sufficient tensile strength. After the rough billet is cast, the machine tools in the mechanical workshop can process the gun barrel to the accuracy of millimeters or more—after all, silk Components that require precision, such as bars and guide rails, all come from modern industry, and even three of them are purchased from the earth. It will be a very long process for self-casting machine tools to wait for natural stress relief. Relatively high-end parent machines are obviously necessary. of.And although those apprentices can only operate at the elementary level, and the imitation of the processed screw is very rough, but after Yunshen came back, as long as the machine tool can be turned on, they will be processing steel parts almost day and night to practice their hands, accumulating bit by bit There has also been progress.Li Hong and the others feel distressed about the resources consumed in these processes and the continuous return of the remelted finished products, but the distress is the distress, and no one will object to Yun Shen's approach.

It's just a price that doesn't count.

As always, the so-called not too difficult is only for Yunshen.When ironworkers and mechanic apprentices were gathered for discussion, Yun Shen would still stop every time he finished explaining a part, and spend three times or more time asking these people to ask questions and then answer them one by one. In a month's time, after trying the casting mold, self-tightening of the barrel, and boring in the bore, the two cannons finally took shape.

The caliber is 80 mm, the inner diameter is 30 mm, and gradually descending to the barrel, the inner diameter becomes 60 mm, the barrel length is 1200 mm, and the inside is engraved with wide and shallow rifling, plus the barrel and locking mechanism, the total length of this breech gun is 1820 mm, horizontal wedge-type gun door, with a vernier-type high-lower machine with unmarked fixed range. The weight of this artillery is more than 500 kilograms. Two survivors took wooden sticks and ropes to fasten the gun. This gun was raised, as was the other, smaller muzzle-loading gun.However, copper was in short supply. Yun Shen brought some back from the Sasheer tribe. After consideration, he only squeezed out two boxes of shells to try.

In fact, there is a shortage of gunpowder. The production of nitrate can only be done little by little. The technology at the beginning of the business can be accumulated step by step, but the resources cannot be created out of nothing. As a prototype machine, many aspects can only be done first. After all, these few Yue hasn't seen any threat of using such a killer weapon, no matter how bad their luck is, it shouldn't be to this point——Yun Shen thinks so.

It has been almost a month, and the highest outdoor temperature has never exceeded minus ten degrees. The people who went to the test site almost put on the clothes they could wear. A dozen ironworkers and technicians carried guns and gun mounts, held ammunition, and carried Holding an oil pot and carrying a shovel, he walked towards the open space behind the dormitory through the snow that was deeper than his calves.Yun Shen, as the top person in charge, is of course among them, Fan Tianlan is still by his side, and Takla has been very interested in this matter from the very beginning, and he has followed the entire manufacturing process, and he will not be absent at this time.

The adults had business to do, so the tree elves were left behind.

Yun Shen knew that the tree elf would be nervous when in contact with other people, but he couldn't take him to listen to the rumble of cannons in the ice and snow.After the leaf grew, the tree elf ate more than usual, and slept longer. Before Yun Shen went out, the tree elf was still whistling in the warm quilt, and temporarily handed over the responsibility of taking care of him. After a tree elf didn't seem to be in conflict, and he was indeed a very responsible mother, Yun Shen tucked him in the quilt and left with Tianlan.

Everything was ready on the test site, and Takla lit the fuse.

There was a loud noise, and the cannon suddenly retreated under the reaction force. The sound of the cannon made the technicians standing nearby have tinnitus. There was a muffled sound.A little bit of bright red was shaking, which was the person in charge of the observation using a simple semaphore to signal.

Yun Shen put down the binoculars, and heard Fan Tianlan, who had been observing with the naked eye, say to the mechanic in charge of recording: "1750 meters."

"..." Yun Shen could only turn his head silently.

The cannon test can't be finished once or twice. Although it has been notified yesterday, when the first cannon rang, the loud sound still startled many people. The pen also bounced slightly, making a click.

The woman who was also frightened looked towards the bed while patting her chest. As expected, the tree elf who had been sleeping sweetly moved, her long eyelashes trembled, and he half-opened the mist Misty green eyes.

Be obedient, obedient, don’t be afraid, it’s just the Master Sorcerer thundering, so don’t cry… The bereaved woman who was guarding the bed wanted to appease him but didn’t dare approach him, she wasn’t sure if this ear was long and pointy Can the child understand her words? I am also afraid that my rough hand will scratch the child's watery face when stretched out. Even if she can be patted through the quilt, she can't touch the quilt of the magician.

Another cannon shot came, and the tree elf's eyes widened a little.

The woman looked at him almost holding her breath. The tree elf who was awakened still looked dazed, but his small fist that was originally placed on the side of his face was loosened, and his short fingers stretched up first. He touched his own long ears, then grabbed them and pulled them down... Then he twisted and twisted, turned his round body around, and nestled back under the quilt, only the green hair on the top of his head was exposed.

"..." The nervous woman approached cautiously, and she was all too familiar with the sound of light and slow breathing—the child fell asleep again.

At this time, everyone on the winged lizard also heard the sound.

"Is it going to snow?" A knight originally from a principality in the northern part of the mainland looked up at the dark sky and whispered while the dragoons were concentrating on manipulating the lizard to descend.In his cold hometown, sometimes there will be thunder before it snows, but the sound in his memory seems to be different from what he hears now.

Still above the sky, the Knights of Tita saw the location marked by the deputy head for them from a distance, and they could recognize that the main building was very regular and huge in shape. The black-haired magicians in the Far East, and the Tita knights who had almost lost all the senior mages accompanying them, after consulting the elves, chose to descend to the ground a certain distance from the buildings. This area has not yet been developed by humans. The valley of the pit was densely vegetated, and it took them a while to determine where they would land.

There was another explosion, and the Tita knights who jumped off the winged lizard one after another were fine, but the elf with sharp ears showed some discomfort. His compatriots slid off the winged lizards, and the elf prince and Georg had just landed when a strange sound made him raise his head.

A black dot seemed to come from the sky, and it was in front of your eyes in an instant. Only a few people could react. Most of the knights and elves only heard a heavy sound, and then there were crackling and breaking sounds one after another. Amidst the shocking gaze, a waist-thick tree fell less than 50 feet away from the nearest lizard.The winged lizard that couldn't dodge it was pressed by the fallen tree crown at the end of its tail, and the silent behemoth moved two steps aside, its tail that couldn't be pulled out stretched into a straight line.

"……How is this going?"

"We were attacked?"

"But didn't you make sure there was no one around here before you landed?"

After a short period of commotion, most of the Tita knights chose to stay on guard. The rider of the winged lizard and the knight worked together to pry out the black tail of the flying beast from under the tree. An elf also followed, but he was not to assist humanity.

While the elves were searching among broken branches and chaotic snow, Yun Shen handed the binoculars to Takla, and asked Fan Tianlan, "Tianlan, the elevation angle you adjusted this time is a bit... as if you hit someone?"

Takla, who was observing the landing direction of the winged lizard through the binoculars, tilted his head and glanced at Fan Tianlan, with a "I understand" smile on the corner of his mouth, Fan Tianlan replied with the same expression, "Not sure, but the probability is not high."

"Let someone go over and have a look." Yun Shen said, although they had already seen the winged lizard coming, but a total of 24 shells were prepared for this rifled gun, and the impact points of the first 23 shells were distributed in 1 according to the different elevation angles. Kilometers to 2.6 kilometers, and this last shot actually hit a super long distance of more than 3 kilometers, and it landed within the approximate landing range of those flying beasts with extremely high accuracy. No matter how talented Takla and Fan Tianlan are in this regard , it shouldn't be so magical.

It is almost possible to guess who the visitor is and why, but the key is the attitude of this group of guests. The results of goodwill and malice are completely different.

The elf named Lindscher brought an object that looked like an iron ball to Ximenez, and the prince took the iron ball that was still warm, checked it and said, "It's a man-made object. "

"Didn't this fall from the sky?" Lindsay asked in confusion.

Ximenez shook his head. Of course this is not a meteorite. This iron ball weighs at least 8 pounds. If it was thrown out by a trebuchet, they could not have seen the existence of a similar structure before landing, and if it wasn't for the trebuchet... there was What kind of force is capable of throwing something of this weight so far?

"That Far Eastern magician must be treated with caution." That's what Greer said when bidding farewell to the Elven Prince.

Throwing the iron ball to the hand of the silver knight standing beside him, the elf in front of Ximenez said, "Go with Gedrille and scout in this direction." He paused, "Come back immediately if you find any danger. "

The two elves left, looking at their nimble backs, the Silver Knight said in a low voice, "We should be of service to you in this matter."

"You have helped us enough." The elf prince said coldly.

Lindseyer and Gedriye came back faster than expected, even though Greer reminded them that they were prepared, but when they saw Isshiki black hair and black eyes accompanying the elf, Tita who came here The knights still showed uncomfortable expressions.

The young man who was the leader, who was even more outstanding in appearance and momentum than the prince, came over, "I am Fan Tianlan, the bereaved family, and these two are my companions Dongshan and Yuanshu," he said without the slightest accent. The common language of the empire, "Our experiment must have disturbed you just now. Is there any injury or damage to the item?"

This was just a superficial attitude. When he said these words, he didn't even look at the Tita knights around him.

"We have nothing to lose." The elf prince said flatly, "I am Ximenes Bernard Artois of the Shenguang Forest. I learned from the king of my clan that the tree elves are under your care at this time. His current situation how?"

"The little Highness is doing well now. Due to some accident, he appeared in our team. Since we can't find a reliable guardian, our magician can only take care of him temporarily." Fan Tianlan said, "And Our lord has been waiting for you for some time."

The prince looked up at Fan Tianlan and asked, "A black-haired Far Eastern magician?"

"The people here in Zhongzhou call him that." Fan Tianlan said.

"I have some burdens here, shouldn't he mind if I take them with me?"

"Of course not, he is a very generous man."

At this time, Yun Shen had just returned to his residence, and it was not until the warm air with natural woody fragrance rushed towards his face that Yun Shen realized that his face was about to freeze, and he stayed in this room tremblingly looking after the tree elf woman Quickly stood up and saluted him, Yun Shen smiled wryly and asked her to leave at ease, then walked to the bedside.

The little ball in the quilt was arching and arching. Yun Shen didn't know if most children like to play this kind of cave game, but he took off his gloves and lifted the corner of the quilt, and waited patiently for a while Afterwards, the tree elf's little green-haired head popped out of there.Wearing pajamas, the tree elf, who looked particularly pink because of sufficient sleep, looked up at Yun Shen, showing a smile that could melt the hearts of those who saw it.

Yun Shen also smiled, and then the tree elf sat up, and put both hands on his belly. What was expressed in those big green eyes was very clear.

When Yun Shen was about to change his clothes and prepare food for him, there was a knocking sound from the door, and the tree elf followed Yun Shen and turned his head to look over, the green hair on the top of his head stood up limply again— —Takla who came in was carrying a somewhat deep basket. There were no fresh fruits and vegetables in it. Instead, it was padded with a thick layer of coral fleece.

"You are definitely going to deal with those outsiders, so leave him to me." Takla said to Yun Shen seriously, "I will definitely take good care of him."
