The emergence of magazines could be said to be another great revolution after the reloading of firearms. Abundant ammunition pre-loading measures ensured the continuity of shooting during combat and greatly enhanced the combat ability of firearms.
Coupled with the powerful gunpowder of the Prandal world, Tang En felt that if a Gatling gun was made, it would truly become a torrent of steel that could tear through everything.
After a simple description of the function and concept of magazines, Klotto immediately became sluggish. Whether it was the reloading, the design of the new bullets, or the pre-loaded magazines, they were all incomparably exquisite designs!
If these concepts were all realized, the combat ability of the Gnomish Firearms would increase by at least ten times!
And all of this was inspired by the short period of time when he saw the Pygmy Musketeers shooting!?
Genius!
"My friend! You are a true genius! "
Klotto already didn't know how to describe Tang En's genius brain. He was so excited that his body trembled, "Let's not talk about this anymore! I have to immediately go back and start my research. Right now I feel that all the blood in my body is concentrated in my brain. I need to take this opportunity to turn the theories you described into reality! "
"I wish you success."
Tang En shrugged his shoulders and watched Klotto quickly leave.
He actually had another idea. The design of the physical bullets' magazines was indeed very good, but if the weapon was upgraded to an energy weapon, the corresponding magazines would become energy storage devices. In Prandal, Magic Crystals were a natural high energy product. As long as the energy inside was properly stimulated, a new weapon that everyone could use could be made.
For example, the firing pin of the gun could be changed into a trigger for a magic array, the rifling inside the barrel could be changed into a magic array, and the magazine could be changed into a storage device for Magic Crystals. Then the moment the gun was fired, the magic array could absorb the power of the Magic Crystals through the magazine and activate the magic array to achieve the effect of casting spells.
Or to change the concept, a Magic Crystal storage could be designed in the stock of the gun, the barrel could be changed into a Magic Launcher, and the magazine could be changed into a magic array regulator. This way, according to the situation, various magic effects could be adjusted. The advantage was that there was no longer a single method of attack and there could be many different magic effects.
If such a design was successful, even an ordinary person would be able to become a Magic Warrior with great lethality.
But … why did he feel that using a spear to cast spells gave him a strange sense of deja vu?
Tang En shook his head. He considered that once this design concept was leaked and used by the cultists, it would be better to think of a way to add confidentiality or verification measures before they could make use of this design.
In the evening, he would take some time to draw up the concept design and then perfect the verification measures. Perhaps a resonant crystal card similar to the magic array from before would be a good idea.
Although Clotho had left, the Gnomish Gun Squad did not leave immediately. They only left after assisting Ellington in defeating the last wave of beasts. Before they left, they did not forget to look down on the goblins who had given up on the battle.
But Galian thought that he had already earned the gold coins, so he ignored the dwarves' disdain.
Elsa pulled out her sword, and blood gushed out from the monster's body. The light in its eyes quickly dimmed, and the magic condensed on its claws quickly dissipated. With a bang, its huge body fell to the ground.
The last magical beast was also dead.
"It's over … It's finally over!"
Locke took a deep breath and undid his blood-stained armor. Bang! The heavy armor fell to the ground, and he fell backwards onto the snowy ground covered in blood. He gasped for breath and looked at the gloomy sky, but it was as if he could see the bright sun. His face was filled with happiness.
Greda took off his helmet and said helplessly, "You didn't even know it was safe to remove the defense. Your vigilance is too weak now."
"Our lord is here to protect us. What's there to be afraid of? Our mission is complete."
He knew how powerful Tang En was. The reason why he let the warriors fight was to hone their combat experience. Now that the battle was over, Tang En would certainly not let them be in any danger.
Greda looked around and saw that the other warriors were in the same situation. They were all pushed to the limit by the ferocious magical beasts, and their potential had been completely squeezed out. Now that the crisis was over, the sudden relaxation made them so weak that they could not even stand properly. They did not even care about the snow on the ground and directly fell to the ground.
After a series of battles, their hot bodies even melted the snow around them. The warriors were panting heavily, and they were all out of breath as they laughed and celebrated this rare victory.
Tang En, who was on top of the city wall, looked around silently and said, "Ask them to get up."
"My lord."
Fiona could not help but say, "The battle is over. Let them relax a little."
"I know. I don't want to see a bunch of sick people tomorrow."
Tang En shook his head and said, "Let's hold a big banquet in the new square tonight to celebrate this victory. We'll cover the expenses."
Holding a banquet while they were victorious was a good way to integrate the people in the territory. The warriors would also gain a great sense of honor and belonging, which would give them more motivation to protect their homeland in the future.
"I … I understand."
Fiona originally wanted to blame Tang En for wasting money, but she soon understood the meaning behind it. So she agreed with Tang En's suggestion and arranged for people to help the warriors down below.
After everyone left the city wall, the originally tens of meters high wall quickly softened under the control of the earth elementals and finally returned to the ground, leaving no trace of its existence before. This was the convenience and power of magic.
After returning to Ellington, the residents who heard the good news rushed out of their houses one by one, hugged each other in the snow, and shouted the name of Tang En loudly. Some were so excited that they even cried and directly knelt on the ground.
This was the first time that no one in Ellington ran away in the face of the Beast Tide, and no one died. And in the following days, there would be enough food supply to prevent people from starving to death!
And all this was because of the benevolent and great Lord Tang En!
"Long live Lord Tang En!"
"Long live Lord Tang En!"
"Did you hear that, My Lord? They are cheering your name."
In the Lord's Mansion, Tina, Marlene, and a group of maids were so excited that their faces were flushed red. It was their honor to be able to serve such a respectable Lord.
The whole of Ellington had undergone earth-shaking changes because of his appearance. Who dared to say that he was not great enough?
At the bonfire party that night, all the residents of Ellington went to the square to participate in this rare carnival. They spontaneously brought smoked meat and wine from home just to save some gold coins for Tang En. They knew that the Lord's gold coins would eventually be used to build the city, so they would not be stingy with their food.
It was because of the lord's benevolence and generosity that they were able to save a dozen gold coins in just half a year. They were able to eat delicious food in the cold months and live in warm rooms without starving or freezing to death.
Even those who had just arrived in Ellington were now infected by the surrounding atmosphere. They kept raising their glasses, cheering Tang En's name, and drinking to their heart's content. In the process, they were quickly assimilated into Ellington.
Even Vanilla, an orc, had no resistance to the carnival of the bonfire party. She only walked around with Fiona for a short while, and she was already full. She was so happy that she wanted to stay in Ellington forever.
Tang En only stayed at the party for a while. He accompanied Elsa, Elijah, and the others to drink some juice and eat something casually before returning to the bedroom. Elijah wanted to continue sticking to Tang En, but unfortunately, Tang En was going to think about the design of the magical guns, so he ruthlessly rejected her.
So the little girl pouted and went to deal with the hot barbecue with Elsa.
Listening to the singing outside the window, Tang En smiled bitterly and shook his head. He did not expect Azokaman to be so interested that he actually transformed into a bard to play the piano for the peasant women. Tang En thought that the Dragons would definitely disdain to do such a thing.
After waving his hand to block the singing outside the window, Tang En's expression suddenly became serious.
What he was about to do now might change the future of the entire Prandal, so he had no choice but to be serious.
Tang En took out a pen and paper and simply drew a few structures of his ideas on it. The stock was filled with magic crystals, the firing pin was an activator and also a switch, and the barrel was the launcher and also the circulation channel of magic. When the trigger was pulled, the firing pin was connected to the barrel, and magic flowed from the magic crystal into the barrel. Then it would trigger the magic array in the magazine, and it would be fired from the front.
The goal of the idea was very clear, and at the same time, some problems were obvious.
First of all, the materials that made up the firing pin and the barrel must be excellent conductors of magic, so magic metals were indispensable. Universal alloys were also very good, but the key parts still needed to be made of very pure magic metals to produce better effects.
And on this magic launcher, the magazine was no longer a magazine, but a magic regulator that changed the type of magic fired by adjusting the trigger area.
"In this case, the magic array must be designed to be small enough, and the magazine … the magic regulator also needs to be redesigned to be easy to adjust …"
Tang En was deep in thought as he quickly scribbled and drew on the drawing. Soon, a simple outline appeared on the drawing.
It looked like a pistol, but it was not a pistol because it fired shaped magic.
Tang En's face was strange. Fortunately, he thought of the magic regulator, otherwise, if it was further simplified and improved, it would be more similar to the weapon of a certain orthopedic soldier.
