Lorenzo and the other generals fell into silence as they looked at Skagen's angry expression. The vast hall was silent for an instant.
After a moment of silence, Lorenzo slowly opened his mouth: "Grandmaster, we will send our best soldiers to protect Grandmaster Dean. You don't have to worry about this. In addition, we will thoroughly investigate the confession of the barbarians. We will make sure that master Dean is innocent. This matter is due to the negligence of the military. We didn't have enough evidence to support Dean. We are willing to take full responsibility for this. I hope that this matter won't affect the friendship and alliance between us and the Temple. "
Skagen's anger subsided as he saw the serious expression on Lorenzo's face: "I hope there won't be a next time."
Lorenzo nodded: "There won't be a next time. Please forgive me."
Skagen knew that such a verbal promise was useless. But the key was the attitude of the other party. The anger on his face disappeared and his expression became cold. He raised his hand and two middle-aged men wearing white robes came in from behind the door of the hall. Judging from the medals on their shoulders, they were senior architects. One of them was holding a metal object with a strange shape.
Lorenzo and the generals looked at the two as soon as they appeared. Their eyes were immediately attracted by the metal object. They assumed that this object was the legendary military item sent by the Temple. However, it didn't seem to have any lethality and didn't have the slightest sharp edge. They couldn't help but be curious about it.
"This is the legendary item made by master Dean. 'Steam gun'!" Skagen indifferently said: "Generals, is it convenient for me to show its power?"
Lorenzo was very curious: "Of course, this place is spacious. Master can demonstrate as you please."
Skagen nodded and glanced at the hall. He found that there were no decorations. His eyes fell on the chairs: "Use this chair. General please take off your armor and put the chair on the seat."
Lorenzo and the generals were puzzled. But they still followed Skagen's method.
Skagen nodded towards the architect as he saw that the target was ready. The latter respectfully nodded in response. Then he picked up the steam rifle and stood 15 meters away from the chair: "Generals, please step aside. Don't block the middle."
"Uh …"
Lorenzo and the other generals were astonished when they saw the way he was driving. Why did it look like a bow and arrow?
After they left, the middle-aged architect aimed the steam rifle at the chair. He took out a match and lit the fuse on the side of the steam capsule. Then, he skillfully adjusted the second valve, pulled the lock wire and pulled the trigger. White steam shot out from the valve behind the rifle. At the same time, a metal bead was propelled by the white steam from the muzzle and suddenly shot out.
Whoosh!
The sound of metal colliding echoed.
The sound of metal colliding was heard but disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Lorenzo and the other generals who were standing on both sides of the chair suddenly narrowed their eyes. Their faces were filled with shock. They felt the hairs on their bodies standing erect. They were trembling with fear. They were able to become generals not only because of their strategies and military knowledge, but also because of their extremely high combat strength. They were able to guarantee that they would come back alive again and again in countless battles.
But at this moment they felt as if the god of death had passed by them.
It was too real! Too terrifying!
Their physique was higher than that of ordinary people. Although they were standing on both sides of the chair but they felt their hearts tremble the moment the white steam came out of the strange weapon.
Lorenzo looked back in a daze and saw a hole in the waist of the armor on the chair.
Although this was the weakest part of the armor but it was the armor used by the generals. Even a sword couldn't pierce through it.
There was a trace of pride in Skagen's eyes as he saw the shocked expression of the generals. He was also shocked when he first saw the power of this legendary weapon. However, lethality was the secondary advantage of this weapon. The most terrible thing was that even a child with no fighting power could exert the full destructive power of this weapon. The horror of such a thing was not inferior to the flame explosion technique that was born in the dark church many years ago.
In some ways it was even more terrifying.
After all, the flame explosion technique needed a lot of energy to burst out enough power. It was inconvenient to carry. But this steam gun was different. It was light and compact. If it was used by the cult then the destructive power would be ten times more than the flame explosion technique.
"This, this …" An elderly general swallowed his saliva, unable to come to his senses.
The senior architect had pulled the valve and extinguished the flame. He stood quietly in the same place.
Lorenzo and the other generals looked at him with fear and trepidation in their eyes. Lorenzo's face remained calm, but his chest slightly heaved up and down. He slowly opened his mouth, but his voice had a trace of hoarseness. "This thing … Is it used like this?"
Skagen faintly smiled: "Yes, the requirements of the steam rifle aren't high. As long as the user has the ability to aim at the enemy. Moreover the range of the steam rifle isn't far. The maximum is 50 meters. This is the third gear. The second gear has a range of 30 meters and the first gear has a range of 15 meters. The speed of accumulating steam and the interval between shots will be different depending on the gear. This is recorded in the information of the divine technique. I won't go into details."
Lorenzo looked at the spear-wielding Divine Envoy and said: "This, this thing shouldn't be used here."
Skagen replied: "It's just a drill. The fire has been turned off. You don't need to worry."
Lorenzo and the generals heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. However, they were still a little afraid. After all, the range of this God's shooting was too small and the speed of the attack was too fast. Even if they were prepared, it would still be difficult to avoid it. If they were to relax for a moment, then they would be killed on the spot. It was too terrifying.
A general turned around and lifted the armoured chair. He saw a bead embedded in the back of the chair. He was frightened. He carefully reached out his hand and pulled it out. He looked at Skagen: "Master, is this the little thing that caused the attack?"
"Yes." Skagen nodded.
Lorenzo and the other generals looked over and their complexions changed. They sucked in a breath of cold air. They hadn't thought that such a small iron marble could cause such a terrifying lethality.
"This is really … an artifact!" Lorenzo looked at the steam rifle in the hands of the architect. There was fear in his eyes as he said with a wry smile.
Skagen indifferently said: "Every legendary level military invention is equivalent to an artifact. The products of the Temple never disappoint you."
"This thing can penetrate steel! It's terrible!" The golden-haired middle-aged general said with lingering fear: "If it is used on a large scale on the battlefield, the style of warfare in the future will be rewritten. Other long-range military magic will also be replaced by this thing. No wonder it is rated as a legendary magic, it really has the power to create a new era!"
Skagen said indifferently: "The steel is too soft and the thickness of your armor isn't enough. It is normal for it to be pierced. You have seen the steam rifle. I hope you can make it as soon as possible and put it into the battlefield to reduce casualties. This is also master Dean's wish." Skagen said indifferently: "Master Dean, you have seen the steam rifle. I hope you can make it as soon as possible and put it into the battlefield.
Lorenzo solemnly said: "Our military will defend the golden wall. We will not disappoint master Dean's expectations!"
Skagen looked at him and his expression softened. He nodded and turned away.
The Oracle who was holding the rifle came forward and presented it to Lorenzo.
Lorenzo and the other generals had the urge to stop him when they saw him holding his spear. Lorenzo's heart was beating like a drum, but he didn't see any hostility or murderous aura coming from the latter. He stabilized his body and tensed his muscles. He was ready to respond at any time.
"General, I give you the rifle." The architect handed it over to Skagen.
Lorenzo squeezed an unnatural smile on his face as he took the gun from Dudian's hands.
"This is the introduction of the steam rifle. General can rest assured that it is very safe as long as it is used properly." The architect said with a smile.
"Thank you." Lorenzo politely replied.
Lorenzo's heart was at ease after Skagen and the two senior architects left. He turned around and said: "Immediately pass down the order to all the military workshops to start manufacturing the steam rifle. Don't rest!"
"Yes!" A general immediately ran out to give the order.
"General I think that the whole body of the rifle is made of metal. I'm afraid that we can't make much of it in the military warehouse. We have to collect it from the consortiums." Another middle-aged general said. He was the head of the military logistics department.
Saint Lawrence said coldly, "The treaty we signed with the consortiums clearly states that during times of war, they must support us with all their might. If anyone wants to make dirty money at this time, we will forcibly seize all of their factories!"
"Yes."
"Now that we have the steam rifle we will be able to turn the tide!" The blonde middle-aged general said in excitement: "The architect was weak but he could use it. If the archers can use it then they will be able to enter the battlefield!"
"Yes. I don't know when the military workshop will be able to make it. This thing is made up of many parts. It will take a lot of time to carve the mold."
