Royal Colony of Faletis, Tomstown.
Glory Church.
Although the name of the church sounded grand, it was actually a small church in its own right. It was the first church of the "Goddess of Royalty and Navigation" built by the kingdom's first batch of pioneers and believers who landed in Tomstown.
The main body of the church, which was a combination of the Dark Millennium style and the Gothic style, was rectangular. It was ten meters long, and the highest point of the steeple was less than twenty meters.
It had a slanted roof, small windows, and a gable wall covered with seaside seashells. If it wasn't for the shape of a church, it wouldn't be much different from an ordinary residential building.
The evening sky gradually turned red.
A hale and hearty silver-haired old man in a simple black robe was sitting on a rock at the entrance of the church with a small rattan basket in his arms. He smiled as he looked at the seven to eight children in front of him. After receiving the biscuits he gave them, they jumped and sang happily.
The childlike children sang the Goddess's hymn, praising "Her" gift without any impurities.
Suddenly.
"Ah!"
Among them was a little girl who was only five or six years old. She accidentally dropped her biscuit on the ground. After she screamed, her eyes immediately turned red, and sparkling tears began to swirl in her eyes.
The old man didn't blame her. Instead, he bent down and picked up the biscuit on the ground. He blew on it and placed it in his mouth. He gently comforted the little girl.
"It's fine. Food can be eaten as long as you pick it up within three seconds. Come, Liz, Grandpa will give you a bigger one. "
The little girl immediately smiled through her tears. She took another biscuit from the basket and thanked him sweetly.
"Thank you, Grandpa Ralph!"
The group of children played for a while until the sky gradually darkened. They thanked the old man again and left together.
At this moment.
The old man, who watched them leave with a smile, didn't return to the church. Instead, he slowly turned around and looked behind him.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
There, a group of "Iron Wall Knight" in heavy armor walked slowly from the other side of the church. They stopped and bowed from afar.
"Your Excellency Ralph, the Goddess is with you."
The old man returned a simple salute and waved his hand at them. Even when he was talking to a Grade 3 Knight, he was as casual as when he was talking to those kids.
"Children, stay here for the time being. You don't have to tell me what you want to do. Ralph is just an old man who has retired and is waiting to return to the Kingdom of the Goddess. "
Dong!
Ambrose pounded his chest with his fist, his iron gloves making a dull thud when they hit his steel armor. He lowered his head respectfully.
"Yes, we won't disturb you for too long. Regardless of whether we can complete this mission or not, we will know the result in three months to half a year. "
.....
Georgia Territory.
East of the Cumberland Mountains, Volkan Metal Company's field shooting range.
"200m target!"
Jonson, the commander of the new Transcendent troop [Gunmen] under Elvin's command, held a brand new rifle in his hand. He did not even use the scope attached to the rifle as he casually pulled the trigger.
Bang!
A line of fire shot out, and a small hole appeared in the center of the target paper.
[Gunmen] could obtain the core abilities [Gun Sense] and [Vital Sight] when they were Grade 1. Their sharp senses allowed them to see the enemy's vital points and deliver a fatal blow.
Shooting accurately was just a piece of cake for him.
Everything was normal at this point, but what happened next made Anthony and Dilis, who were watching from the side, gradually turn from shock to numbness.
"300m, 10th ring."
"500m, 10th ring."
“.....”
"900m … 10th ring!"
Jonson, who was in military uniform, completed the shooting demonstration with a speed of one shot per 20 seconds. He put away the new rifle that was given to him and walked to Elvin, saluting.
"Sir, mission complete, awaiting further instructions."
"Very good, return to the team."
Elvin turned around and looked at Anthony and Dilis, who were in a daze.
He asked with a smile, "Gentlemen, what do you think of our Georgia rifle?"
Hearing Elvin's words, the two gradually came back to their senses.
"I knew that you were an indisputable genius! Mass producing a sniper rifle is just too unbelievable. "
Anthony's expression was complicated. Five years ago, when he first met Elvin, he was only a beginner apprentice. But now, he was a true upper-class wizard, a Marquis. Even a Grade 4 Transcendent was defeated by him in the "War of Rebellion".
There were also countless war weapons that were invented by him in the past few years. It was obvious that it would greatly change the way battles would be fought in the future.
Before.
Anthony, who was born in a noble family, knew that if he was distant and respectful when meeting Elvin, he would really be estranged from him. If he treated him with a normal attitude, the effect would be better.
However, after witnessing the boundless wisdom of the other party with his own eyes, he couldn't help but change to honorifics again. Massacring a city, destroying a country, and killing a Grade 4 Transcendent were too far away from him. Only when he saw it with his own eyes would he be able to benefit from it.
"Hahaha, the cost of the Georgia rifle is actually not low."
Under the guidance of Elvin, the Munitions Factory successfully developed the first excellent rifle that belonged to the Volkan Metals Company. According to the naming rules of Kentucky, since it was born in Georgia, Elvin named it "Georgia rifle".
The revolutionary use of a flaming cap eliminated the flint, which only had a firing rate of about 70%.
The firing agent Hg (CNO) 2 was the main component of the flaming cap and detonator. It was highly sensitive to flames, needles, and impacts. It was also an indispensable help in cutting through mountains.
This "Georgia rifle" was the first real sniper rifle in the mortal world. Its design had exceeded the scope of the original high-precision rifles such as the Kentucky rifle. It was the pinnacle of design specifically designed to accurately hit long-distance targets.
The most special thing was that although this rifle was a rifled gun, there was no rifling inside the barrel in the conventional sense. Instead, there was a strange hexagonal bore.
Considering the simplicity and precision of the processing, the hexagonal bore firearm could achieve a good balance in all aspects.
But at present, this rifle was still a single-shot rifle with a full length of 1200 mm and a barrel of 840 mm. It used .45 hexagonal bullets with a firing rate of 2-3 rounds. It had an effective range of 730 to 910 meters and a maximum range of 1200 meters.
It was very close to the effective range of the alchemy rifle.
And the Kentucky Baseline Rifle used by the sharpshooters in this era had an effective range of only about 300 meters.
Moreover, after making a reliable flaming cap, Elven was only one step away from being able to make a stationary bullet. As long as he could solve the problem of the airtightness of the latching structure, the real modern rifle was already waving at him.
However.
Even if all the technical problems could be solved, Elvin was not ready to create this thing and use it on the battlefield. At least, he was not ready to do so before the "truth concretization".
Because this thing was like the steam engine that had deeply changed the world. No, it was even more powerful than the steam engine.
It was enough to completely overturn the ruling order of the countries on the continent and sweep more than 99% of the second-order Extraordinaires into the garbage heap of history. Even a third-order Great Knight could no longer look down on an army of thousands and treat ordinary soldiers like grass.
In fact, it did not even need to be too many. As long as a few hundred soldiers gathered fire, they would still have to kneel.
This was no longer just a matter of not talking about martial ethics. It was simply a complete violation of the rules.
This kind of thing that made the whole world an enemy, as long as one was sane, they would not do it. Even the "Goddess of Royalty and Navigation", who regarded herself as a saint, would be the first to slap down and take her life.
Because its meaning was similar to handing a knife to the capitalist …
Elvin had even used the existing technology to make two revolvers that used large-caliber black gunpowder and fixed paper shell bullets. But this kind of thing was just a toy to him now.
In addition.
Since he could produce this kind of rifle, of course, there was no need to say more about the simplified low-end trade rifle. He could completely achieve self-sufficiency.
"Vulkan's weapons and equipment are not that simple. The next one is the real finale."
Elvin gestured.
On the other side, the canopy was pulled open by the soldiers, revealing a strange-looking multi-rail artillery.
It did not have a conventional barrel, but it had a total of eight launch rails, which were mounted with 16 conical bullets with a diameter of 132 mm with stabilizer fins.
"Is this some kind of artillery?"
As an official wizard of "Alchemy Tools and Enchantment Engineering," Anthony was the most interested in this new weapon, but he could not see any trace of alchemy on it.
After Elvin simplified the alchemy equation of the high-energy explosive "RDX," even an apprentice could prepare a large amount of RDX, so Elvin had a lot of stockpiles.
At this moment.
Elvin's plan was to find a way to pour the largest amount of RDX onto the target's head in the quickest way and the easiest way.
Therefore, the "rocket artillery" with a simple structure and low cost, known as firepower and technology for poverty alleviation, naturally came into his sight.
"Target 1, 8 kilometers in front of the target, fire!"
Elvin waved his hand vigorously.
The artillery soldiers obeyed the order and fired the rocket artillery.
In an instant, the orange-red flames connected together, almost re-illuminating the gradually darkening evening sky. The rockets soared into the sky like spears thrown by the God of Fire.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A minute and a half later.
Boom!!!
Accompanied by a series of terrifying loud noises, thick smoke rose into the sky, and a small hill in the distance had been turned into ashes in the monstrous flames.
Even Elvin and the others could feel a strong vibration under their feet.
The rocket's initial speed was 80 meters per second, the weight was 42.5 kilograms, the maximum range was 8.5 kilometers, and a salvo only took 7-10 seconds. This was a true bombardment. It could also be called [Patrick Star's Ultimate Curtain Call 2.0], but Elvin renamed it [RDX's Iron Fist of Justice].
Elvin walked to the two people who had gone from numbness to sluggishness. His voice was calm like an ancient well.
"In the future battlefield, we must unleash steel and flames, not soldiers.
We must leave countless craters in the enemy's position, the kind that can allow people to jump from crater to crater. I'm serious about this.
In other words, it can be called 'supersaturated bombing', the great art of using artillery to change the geography!
With sufficient logistical support and unscrupulous firepower coverage, there was only one word, "Blow it up for me!" This is my ninja … ahem, tactical concept! "
In fact, when the war really developed to this point, it had completely lost the artistic nature of the past thousands of years, and it was reduced to a direct confrontation between the comprehensive national strength of the two countries.
In the era of a cannon firing ten thousand taels of gold, the war was about money.
