Chapter 53: Muskets


"I see, this kind of thing happened."

Ou Wenming nodded whitely, finally figuring out the causes and consequences of the migration of the Shensha tribe."

With such a deep hatred, have you ever thought about seeking revenge on the Black Wind Clan and regaining your homeland?""

Yes, of course."

Lu Sha clenched his fists angrily, "But the Shensha tribe has only this few people left now, and the road to revenge is still very long."

The most important thing right now is to survive the winter, followed by finding a new place to live. ”Even though he was extremely angry at the actions of the Black Wind Clan, Rusha was not carried away by hatred.For the sake of the continuation of the clan, he prioritized the survival of the clan, and revenge was not on the list for the time being."

If I can help you defeat the Black Wind Clan next year and regain your lost homeland."

Owen crossed his hands in front of his mouth and pretended to be mysterious."

The premise is that you need to be loyal to me.Patriarch Rusha, are you willing to do this?

”As soon as he finished speaking, an older clansman behind Lu Sha couldn't help but stand up."

No kidding!

Even if the Shensha tribe wants revenge, it ......"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Sha raised his hand to interrupt.He glanced back and told his people to shut up.In this matter, Rusha did not want to upset the other party, after all, he would have to rely on the food and shelter provided by humans to survive the winter this winter."

I'm sorry, but most of my people are straight.""

It doesn't matter."

Owen didn't care."

As for what you said about helping us defeat the Black Wind Clan.Thank you for your kindness, but we cannot pledge allegiance to you. ”Returning to the topic just now, Rusha patiently explained why."

With the help of your knights, we may be able to defeat the Black Wind Clan.But this is not the strength of the Shensha tribe itself, relying on foreign tribes to take back the homeland, not only will we feel ashamed, but other tribes will also look down on us.Moreover, once the knight leaves, with our current strength, we will not be able to defend our homeland at all. ”"No, it's not."

Owen shook his head and explained, "I won't send knights to help you, I will only provide weapons for you to take home by yourself." ”"Weapons?

Ourselves?

”Do you provide swords for knights?

Although human weapons are well-made, the clansmen are not used to using them, so they are not as good as spears.Looking at Owen suspiciously, Rusha always felt that he was talking big, but looking at his confident smile, it didn't feel like a lie."

Don't worry, I won't force you to be loyal to me."

Owen smiled, "Wait a little while, and you'll see the powerful weapons I have." ”…… After Rusha returned, Owen ordered Clive to issue an announcement in the square, informing the townspeople about the reception of the lizardmen and the joint fight against the undead, so that the people would not panic when they saw a large number of lizardmen.Two days later, the lizardmen began to move to Owen's designated living area to prepare for the winter.Because I felt that it was novel, there were many people who came to watch the transfer.Humans and lizardfolk are not familiar with each other, so how do you get along well during the winter?

It's something that Owen and Rusha need to think about.After dealing with the resettlement of the clan, the Shensha tribe sent a force of fifty lizard warriors, led by Rusha, to fight against the undead monsters along with the militia on the northern wall.This special unit is stationed right next to the militia camp, and the training is carried out together with the militia team, which also strengthens the friendship between the two sides.In addition, seeing that the militia's training was working well, Viscount Jarvis asked the knights to train with the militia as well.A few days later, Owen suddenly recruited a group of hunters who were good at bows and crossbows, and formed a ten-man shooting team.Tell them that not only are they responsible for shooting enemies on the northern wall, but they also have to learn to use a new type of weapon.In addition, Owen also sent someone to invite Viscount Jarvis and Rusha over.The new weapon was tested in a spacious clearing behind the city wall to the north, where the militia would have been trained.Now, they are running in circles around the border town.I have to say that they have been running more and more neatly lately.Arriving at the test site, Viscount Jarvis noticed that Owen and Marpel each had a strangely shaped iron rod in their hands, and Owen was explaining something to her and the hunters.But looking at Marpel's expression, I knew that she probably didn't understand.Seeing Rusha coming, Owen stopped explaining, beckoned him over, and inquired about the situation with concern."

Patriarch Lusha, are you used to living these days?

Are you used to eating fish in the Weishui River?

”"It's okay, the fish tastes good."

Rusha responded.Actually, lizardfolk can eat human food.It's just that they are more accustomed to eating fish, and Owen gives priority to providing fish."

That's good."

Next, Owen gathered everyone around.Since Viscount Rusha and Jarvis had just arrived, they needed to be revisited."

It's called a 'musket,' and I'll show you how to use it."

First open the lid of the pool, pour gunpowder, close it again, then pour gunpowder into the barrel, stuff a lead bullet, stab it to the end with a stick, and finally aim at the target and pull the trigger.After a few rounds of simulations, Owen handed the two muskets to Viscount Jarvis and Rusha to familiarize them both with each other.No way, just these two muskets at the moment.Once the two had a rough idea of how to use the muskets, Owen asked them to shoot live.The target had already been prepared, a square iron plate held with wooden sticks ten meters away, and several concentric circles had been drawn on it.Viscount Jarvis and Rusha prepared to shoot in the same way as Owen had demonstrated, leveling their muskets, aiming at the iron plate, and pulling the trigger.Bang!

Bang!

Two loud noises in a row frightened everyone present.It's just that the sound is loud, and many people don't think the new weapon is anything big at first.But when they came to the iron plate, they all showed surprised faces.There were two holes in the iron plate, and there was no doubt that lead bullet had penetrated the iron plate.Feeling incredible, Viscount Jarvis also specially inspected the iron plate, which was no different from the armor worn by the knights.Not only that, but he also tested the hardness of the iron plates, which were obviously steel that had been recast many times, which was a common material for knights' armor.This means that the musket is powerful enough to shoot through the armor of the knight!

Moreover, it can be used by ordinary people!

If there are some restrictions on the use of explosives, then the musket can completely close the gap between ordinary people and knights and magicians.An ordinary person who has mastered the use of muskets can easily kill a knight who has been practicing martial arts for many years from a distance, even if he is wearing heavy armor.The mage also doesn't have much of an advantage, the rate of fire of the lead bullet is much faster than the speed of the fireball, and as long as the speed is fast enough, the opponent can be killed before the magic hits.What's more, the fireball is not as far as the range of the musket.As for the magic shield, it may be able to block the bow and arrow, but it definitely can't block the lead bullet, after all, it is so powerful.Seeing the power of the musket, Rusha suddenly understood why Owen was so confident before.As long as the clan is equipped with muskets, it is not impossible for their Shensha tribe to defeat the Black Wind tribe.
