Chapter 253: Mortars


Next, the task of defending against the undead monsters was left to Viscount Jarvis, and Owen didn't even go to the northern wall to boost the morale of the People's Army.Because it's no longer needed.Last winter, the militia was fighting against the undead monsters for the first time, and most of the militia only had a spear in their hands, and they were very unprepared, and Owen had to be on the battlefield to stabilize the morale of the army.Now, the KPA is equipped with powerful weapons and is full of confidence.Even if the recruits are fighting for the first time, they are full of confidence in defeating the undead monsters, led by the veterans.And what is Owen doing?

He is teaching excellent craftsmen such as Geeta and dwarven craftsmen to teach them about electricity.Electricity is not a new thing, there are lightning phenomena in nature, as well as electricity magic, etc., but people have not found a way to use electricity, and they do not understand the relationship between electricity and magnetism.Teaching the knowledge of "electricity" can help craftsmen better understand the design drawings of electrical equipment, after all, now that there are power generation facilities, the production of electrical equipment will naturally start to advance.Of course, the city hall also has to educate the people about electricity, especially safety, which is something to be done in the future.It has been confirmed that light bulbs are the first electrical devices to be promoted to the public.Tungsten, a key material needed to make light bulbs, is extracted from scheelite ore, and Owen has sent someone to mine it.Now with explosives, it's easier to mine new ores.In addition, Winster cautions that fluorescent scheelite is often accompanied by natural gold, and geologists often use this property to find gold.Owen mentions this to the miners who used to mine scheelite and promises that if anyone discovers gold, he will be rewarded.The promise of the lord greatly motivated the miners to work.Not so long ago, there was a joke.An absentee worker dug up golden ore during his work, and he thought he had dug gold ore, so he happily held up the ore he dug to show off to his miners, attracting envious eyes from everyone.The miner's chief came to check on the news, and found that it was nothing more than a chalcopyrite.The crowd dispersed, and the miner was embarrassed.Chalcopyrite does look like gold, and is often mistaken and is nicknamed "fool's gold".Copper was found to be fine, and Frontier Town needed a lot of copper now, so Owen gave the miner some comforting rewards and encouraged him to keep going.…… Mystery Forest.Snow covered all corners of the forest, and the trees were squeezed with thick snow, and a slight tremor in the distance caused the snow to slide down from the branches.In the direction from which the tremors came from, a force of lizardmen was marching.The military campaign to unify the Mystery Forest has been going on for more than two months, and the Green Lizard Alliance has not paused its operations as winter has begun, but has accelerated the pace of conquest.The reason for this is that the powerful subhuman tribes have entered a state of winter, thinking that there will be no war in winter, and the external defense has been relaxed, which is a great opportunity.Anyway, the Green Lizard Alliance has already moved the vulnerable groups to the border town, and with all the supplies provided there, they don't worry about the winter.At the beginning of the operation, the Green Lizard Alliance conquered several subhuman tribes with strong weapons in a row, such as the Minotaurs, Wild Boars, and Spotted Leopards.Influenced by this, the Green Lizard Alliance has made a name for itself in the Mysterious Forest.Some of the weaker subhuman tribes have tried to surrender to the Green Lizard Alliance and seek refuge.Since this military operation was to unify the Mystery Forest, the Green Lizard Alliance accepted the asylum request of the subhuman tribes.As a result, the news of the Green Lizard Alliance's kindness to the weak Asian tribes spread quickly, causing many less powerful Asian tribes to choose to take the initiative to run over and submit, hoping to avoid the attack of the lizardmen.The Green Lizard Alliance accepted them all, and the sphere of influence suddenly expanded a lot.The remaining powerful subhuman tribes and the subhuman tribes that clinging to them are still resisting, much the same as they had been predicted before the operation began.After several conquests, the powerful subhuman tribes were conquered one by one by the Green Lizard Alliance.Now, only the gray wolf clan remains.The Gray Wolf Clan is a gray-haired werewolf who is strongest on a full moon night.Led by the leader of the Shensha Clan, Rusha, and the Talon Chief, Keith, the lizardmen force is heading towards the Gray Wolf Village.Just then, an agile lizardman who had gone to reconnoiter came back and reported that the Gray Wolf Village was not far ahead.Ordered to slow down the troops, Rusha and Keith led a few of their clansmen to secretly investigate the situation in the village.As expected, the Gray Wolf Clan's defense is very weak, and it seems that they do not know that the Green Lizard Alliance is still continuing its military operations in the winter.It is no wonder that once the tribe enters the state of winter, the tribe will narrow the scope of its activities as much as possible, and it is difficult to get timely news from the outside world."

What's next?"

Keith asked."

What else can I do?

Just attack head-on in an open and honest manner. ”Rusha grinned, turned back to one of his clansmen, and ordered, "Quickly bring over the new cannon that the lord has specially made for us." ”It wasn't long before Rusha and Keith walked out of the woods directly in front of the gate of the Gray Wolf Village with their lizardmen troops."

Hurry up and report to the patriarch, the Green Lizard Alliance has finally done something to us."

Seeing these lizardmen, the gray wolf soldiers were so frightened that they hurriedly blew the bone horn to convey the message of the enemy attack to the clansmen.As soon as the lizardmen stopped their advance out of the woods, two lizardmen ran to the front of the group, erecting an iron cylinder with two brackets in front of them, and the opening above facing the village gate.This is a mortar.Because the Lizardmen were fighting everywhere and couldn't carry heavy cannons, Owen ordered Geeta to create this portable mortar for the Green Lizard Alliance.On the watchtower, a gray wolf man asked with a puzzled face, "What are those two lizardmen doing?"

”"I don't know."

The other gray wolf shook his head.As soon as he finished speaking, the lizardman sent a cannonball into the barrel, then quickly turned his back to the barrel.The shell slides into the barrel by its own gravity, and the primer is triggered by a firing pin at the end of the barrel.Boom!

The cannonball was fired out of the air, falling in a parabola towards the gate of the Gray Wolf Clan's village.Rumble!!!

With a single shot, the fragile village gates were blasted open, and the nearby watchtowers collapsed.Immediately afterwards, the mortar team followed Rusha's order to fire two more shells, using up all the shells it was carrying at once.In the previous conquests, the Lizardmen troops had been very sparing with mortar shells, and now there was only one last subhuman tribe left that had not been subservient, and there was no need to save."

What a terrible weapon!""

Run!""

It's too strong on the other side!"

Shelled by three mortars in a row, the gray wolf people were instantly stunned and frightened, and the soldiers near the gate threw down their weapons and fled into the village.Seeing this, Lu Sha waved his hand and ordered: "The whole army attack!"

Those who stubbornly resist, kill them, and those who surrender with their weapons are not killed!

”In this way, the lizardmen army entered the gray wolf village through the blasted open gate and launched an operation to conquer it.This lord is backed by a tech tycoon
