"This is a heavy machine gun, and it uses the same bullets as a bolt rifle. As long as you pull the bullets out of the cloth belt, you can fire them with the new rifle." The prince patted the thick firearm. "As for its mechanism, it's much more complicated than a rifle. You won't understand it even if I explain it to you, so I won't explain it here. I call it the Mark I type heavy machine gun, and I'll demonstrate it myself. "
When he sat behind the firearm and pressed the trigger, Iron Axe could hardly believe his eyes!
The muzzle of the gun suddenly emitted a continuous stream of sparks, and the air it spewed out shook up the fluffy snow. The bullets seemed to be pulled by something, rushing towards the body of the gun one after another. On the other side, the hot bullet casings quickly ejected one after another, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of them fell to the ground!
Obviously, there was only one firearm shooting in front of him, but the momentum was even more amazing than a small team of flintlocks. The gunshots were so continuous that there was no gap between them at all. The prince did not aim at the distant target, but at the snow not far in front of him. The densely packed bullets brought up snow pillars, and the whole ground seemed to be boiling. Before a snow pillar fell to the ground, another snow pillar had already flown up, as if the bullets had interweaved into a death net in that area, and anyone who tried to pass through would be smashed to pieces.
"This... is too amazing," the Chief Knight murmured.
Not only Carter, but Iron Axe also glanced at the other witches out of the corner of his eye. Except for Lady Nightingale, who had been guarding Roland, her expression did not change much, the rest of the witches were all stunned. The black-haired woman, Ashes, who carried a giant sword, had a more complicated expression, including shock, confusion, and loss.
Iron Axe could not help but empathize with her. The reason he could become the Chief Guard of the Osha clan was because of the archery and swordsmanship he had practiced since he was a child. And those warriors with outstanding talent, who had been undefeated for a long time in the clan fights, were the targets that the chiefs fought to win over. But no matter how sharp one's reflexes were and how agile one's movements were, it was impossible to avoid an invisible bullet. Even the disadvantage of needing to reload a gun was no longer an issue in front of the Mark I. It was conceivable that if the First Army could be equipped with ten to twenty heavy machine guns, the killing techniques that the enemy had painstakingly practiced for more than ten years would become a joke.
This must not be a good feeling.
Fortunately, he had found a new way.
Leaf quickly passed through the branches, driving the demonic beasts that broke into the Misty Forest toward the direction of the city wall.
Now the area under her control was almost the size of the town, and these plants were equivalent to her eyes and limbs. Not only could they grow according to her will, but they could also build a line of defense against outsiders. But His Highness repeatedly stressed that she did not need to deal with the enemies. If they encountered a powerful demonic beast or a demon, they could just inform the town garrison. Especially the latter — if they were discovered and the demons destroyed the entire forest, the loss would be even greater. In the future, they would have to rely on her to provide early warning, and the forest supplies that could be adjusted according to the needs were also a great asset.
For this reason, Leaf opened up an open space near the town, intending to start planting a new batch of "Golden Ones" wheat after the end of the Months of Demons. This time, with the Heart of the Forest providing her with magic power, the wheat used for seeds could grow almost continuously, and it would not be a problem to supply it to all the farmers in the Western Region.
At this moment, she sensed a group of wolf hybrids entering the edge of the forest.
Leaf immediately looked at this group of intruders, only to see eight strong demonic beasts fleeing into the depths of the forest. Just as she was about to use the flying messenger to inform the First Army and drive them back to the city wall, she suddenly noticed something wrong.
They had completely lost their former ferocity, as if they were being driven by something, fleeing in a panic. The branches and vines that stretched out one after another could not stop them from running.
"Could it be... the demons are here again?"
Leaf frowned. Just as she was about to expand her scanning range, she felt a trace of warmth above her head.
She raised her head abruptly and saw a few cracks in the cloudy sky, from which a golden luster drilled out and sprinkled on the white land of the Western Region —
"What should we do with this place?" Tilly pointed to an equation in the book.
"Well... we should substitute formula four here to form a new equation, and then derive it to get the formula in the book." Anna quickly wrote down the derivation process on a piece of toilet paper. "That's about it."
"I see." Tilly clapped her hands and said, "If we take this variable, the result should be close to 1."
"You're amazing to be able to calculate this result in your mind," Anna exclaimed.
"Hehe," Princess Tilly smiled embarrassedly. "This is my ability... You're the one who's really amazing to be able to learn the new textbook he wrote so quickly."
Anna revealed a soft smile — a smile that would only appear when she mentioned Roland Wimbledon.
Every time this happened, Tilly couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Regardless of whether Roland was the previous 4th Prince or not, to be able to make the simple and kind Anna like him so much, he couldn't possibly be an evil person. In fact, the more he spent time with Roland, the more he felt his unique charm. Roland was so different that he was like a visitor from outer space. He was incompatible with all the nobles in this world, but inexplicably reassuring. Looking at the gray sky outside the window, Tilly sometimes could not help but think that it would be great if the Months of Demons could last forever. When she learned all of his knowledge, even if Roland did not say anything, she would be able to really understand him, right?
She shook her head and gathered her thoughts. Just as she was about to ask the next question, the page that her finger was pointing at suddenly became bright.
The two of them looked out of the window at the same time and saw that the sky, which was previously covered with scattered snowflakes, was now emitting rays of light, and the long-lost sunshine was gilding the clouds. And the busy people in the town also noticed this change, and soon more and more people poured into the streets, and people began to cheer.
Tilly stared at the sky in a daze, with mixed feelings —
The gunshots stopped, and at the feet of His Highness, there was a pile of shell casings, and the gun barrel was emitting bursts of white smoke, and the front of the gun was even a touch of dark red.
The scene was silent, and no one expressed their opinion, nor did they need to — from everyone's expression, one could see the shock brought by this new weapon.
Iron Axe could no longer hold back his excitement, and knelt down in the manner of the Sand Nation.
"This world is yours, Your Highness."
This was the new path he had found — to follow behind His Highness Roland, lead the First Army equipped with new firearms, and expand the territory for him.
One of his hands reached out to Iron Axe.
After helping him up, His Highness was not as complacent as Iron Axe had imagined. Instead, he looked in the direction of the Impassable Mountain Range and said in a low voice, "But our real enemy... is the devil."
Even so, I will fight for you to the end. Before Iron Axe could finish his words, a dazzling light suddenly cut through the sky and fell to the ground. The witches behind him exclaimed, and Roland also looked up, revealing a smile. The light became more and more intense, and soon it became too bright to look at directly. The dark clouds quietly dissipated like snow in the face of a raging fire, and the sun once again appeared in front of everyone.
