Everyone in the hall had heard about the explosion on Celestial Garden Street last night and the subsequent battle on Seventh Avenue. Hearing Allen mention it, Elon and the others looked at General Slin in unison. As businessmen, especially important figures in the business world, they naturally wanted Satin City to be safe and reliable more than anyone else. In fact, during General Slin's tenure, incidents like last night rarely happened.
For a moment, Slin became the focus of the hall. The old general's face did not reveal the slightest of his inner thoughts. He said indifferently, "Thank you for your concern, Sir Allen. Regarding last night's incident, we, the Bucks Army, have been doing our best to investigate, and we have some clues. It won't be long before we find out the identity of the mastermind behind it. "
"The Bucks Army is indeed a great weapon of our empire, efficient and reliable." Allen smiled. "Then I have one more thing here that I can probably ask General to do on my behalf."
Slin's eyelids twitched. His intuition told him that it would not be a good task, but he had to ask, "As long as it is within my scope of responsibility, Slin will not shirk it."
Allen secretly thought that this old man was not simple. The words "scope of responsibility" indicated that it was not his responsibility, so he would not intervene. He nodded and said, "Just the night before I arrived in Satin City, our caravan was attacked in the wilderness. Unfortunately, the other party picked the wrong opponent. The attack failed, and we killed them all. They even gave me dozens of sets of equipment and horses for free. I have a feeling that the attack was related to last night's incident on Seventh Avenue. I just don't know if General Slin is willing to investigate as well. "
Slin cursed in his heart. He was sure that the so-called attack on Seventh Avenue last night was just a coincidence, but Allen linked the two incidents together, making it clear that he wanted him to take over the investigation. As a general of the Bucks Army, he was responsible for the security of Satin City. A viscount of the Empire was attacked outside the city. No matter how reluctant Slin was, he had to take responsibility for the investigation. Moreover, now that Allen had linked the incident on Seventh Avenue, there was no room for him to evade. He could only say, "If that's the case, I'll have to ask Sir Allen to provide some clues later."
"There's no need for that. I just happened to bring the equipment and guns used by the attackers. General Slin can just take them. They should be able to provide some useful clues." Allen gestured to the two guards behind him, and they left to get what Allen wanted.
Vette, who had been staying beside Slin, laughed dryly and said, "Lord Allen has only been in Satin City for less than two days, and he has already suffered two attacks. It seems like you've made quite a few enemies. "
Hearing Vette's words, the expressions of Elon and the other merchants changed. Vette's words implied that Allen had made too many enemies and that cooperating with him would take a lot of risks. His intentions could be said to be sinister. Allen didn't answer. Edward behind him smiled faintly and said, "You can't say that. You don't need to step on the tail of some rabid dogs. They will run over and bite you a few times."
Vette's expression immediately turned ugly. Anyone could hear the meaning behind Edward's words. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Who are you? Do you have the right to speak here?"
Edward said unhurriedly, "I'm Lord Allen's supporter, a decorated baron of the Empire. If I don't have the right to speak, then does Sir Vette have the right? "
Vette was immediately speechless. Although the Empire's baron was a low-ranking title, it was still a noble with a territory. It was much more noble than an officer like him. Slin glared at him angrily and said, "Get out of here, don't embarrass yourself here!"
Using Slin as a stepping stone, Vette hurriedly left. At this moment, the guards brought over the armor, swords, and guns left behind by the attackers the night before. Allen winked and these things were delivered to Slin. At this moment, Angela returned and smiled, "Everyone, the venue for the display has been prepared."
Thus, everyone left the hall and went to the rooftop of the guild building. The venue was spacious, and a set of armor for testing was set up in the middle. The style of the armor was ordinary, but its thickness reached the standard of the armor used by the Empire's infantry. Angela stretched out her hand and made an inviting gesture, and Allen took the rifle that had been prepared in advance from his own people. The rifle was dark in color, and judging from its style, it didn't seem to have any special design.
Allen patted the rifle and said, "This is the Thunderwolf rifle developed by our workshop. Let's call it the Thunderwolf Type I. Next, let me show you the performance of the Thunderwolf rifle. "
He walked to the field with his rifle, raised it horizontally, aimed at the chest of the armor, and pressed down on the trigger. The muzzle of the gun spat out a ball of fire, and a string of sparks splashed out from the chest of the armor, which had already been pierced by the bullet. Allen turned around and smiled at everyone. Elon and the other merchants whispered to each other and quickly exchanged their thoughts. Judging from the accuracy and power of the gun in Allen's hand, it had indeed reached the standard of the Imperial Army's standard gun, and it was a level higher than most of the Lords' private armies' guns.
If that was the case, not to mention Fat Peter, who was in charge of weapons and equipment, even others could find a supplier that could produce a gun of this level. Therefore, the Thunderwolf gun did not have much of a bright spot in their eyes. Unexpectedly, Allen raised his gun again, and what happened next shocked them.
The Thunderwolf rifle continued to fire in Allen's hand, and one bullet after another continuously struck the armor. After a round of shooting, the entire armor leaf on the chest of the armor was blown away by the bullet, revealing a huge hole. Not only were Elon and the other merchants dumbfounded, but even Slin's mouth was wide open. A moment later, Fat Peter screamed, "I want it, Lord Allen. How many Thunderwolf rifles do you have? I want them all!"
"Oh my god, am I seeing things? Is this a repeating rifle? There's no need to reload at all. How did you do it! " Elon, a modest man, was also so excited that his eyes lit up. After all, how to achieve continuous firing of a rifle had always been a difficult problem. Nowadays, cannons could be fired continuously. After all, the space inside the cannons was relatively large and could accommodate more components. However, if one wanted to copy the continuous firing system of cannons onto guns, then the guns would be abnormally large and could no longer be considered rifles.
But now, the Thunderwolf rifle in Allen's hand did not even move to reload and fired seven bullets in one breath. If this frequency of shooting was used on the battlefield, the expanded results would be extremely shocking, and it might even change the outcome of a war!
Looking at the excited expressions of the merchants, Allen knew that his goal had been achieved. After arousing their interest, Sean's work would be much easier. Fat Peter squeezed over and said with shining eyes, "Lord Allen, how much is your offer for this Thunderwolf rifle?"
