MTL - Release that Witch-Chapter 33 gunpowder

"All stood up, the four princes were down," and the iron axe cried and shouted.

Vanner quickly returned to his position, and the previous special training allowed him to reflexively obey the command. Almost subconsciously, he had already picked up the wooden pole and put forward the preparatory movement of the previous stab.

The prince and his party walked up the wall and walked behind the team. Fanna Yuguang noticed that His Highness had slowed down when he passed his position.

Roland sighed in his heart and said that it was the truth to ruin the morning and ruin the day. After finishing the aftermath of the night attack on the castle, I had to come to review the results of the recent training of the militia team. Poor self did not sleep for a night, now it is sleepy again and again. But he can't help but now that the team has been transferred to the stage of training. As the highest commander, long-term lack of appearance will lead to a decline in their sense of existence and the people will become unstable.

Um... what should I say when I check it out? Roland thought about it, comrades are good, comrades have worked hard? If no one picks up the next half, this slogan will be very embarrassing, or casually pull a personal chat about the family, showing his corporal Li Xian, brushing the reputation.

He was planning to shoot a young man who looked pretty strong.

"The training is hard, I feel tired and tired? Is it good to eat three meals?"

According to the experience of the past news, the reaction of the other party should be excited and loudly answering "not tired, very good!" As a result, he was excited and excited. He turned and went straight on one knee and scared Roland.

Fanna felt that she had been taken care of by God, and the prince of the prince actually cares for his training in a friendly tone! Usually don't say the royal family, even ordinary nobles are not willing to say a word to them. He subconsciously imitated the knight's ritual to the prince's palace, and regardless of whether this ritual is appropriate for him, there is only one voice in his heart: in the future, when he returns to the old street, he can count as the number one.

After being asked to stand up, Fanna’s brain was still in chaos, and he couldn’t remember how he answered it.

Finally, when His Royal Highness asked what opinions or opinions he had about training, when he could come up, Fanner suddenly woke up a lot – this is a good opportunity! If you can let your Highness think that the militia team can't afford the responsibility of guarding the city wall, do you not have to worry about running or staying all day?

He carefully preached the wording in his heart. "Respect... Your Highness, the militia team is currently too few. According to the current training queue, when the evil beast strikes, everyone can only defend one third of the wall. The scope of the arrival. You see..."

Even if the prince recruits a few more batches, the training time is too late, and Fanna thinks. In addition, the weapons used by these people are also a big expense. It is difficult for Bianyan Town to scrape out the rifles used by 300 people in two months, and even 100 are very reluctant - so they still use wooden poles to train .

If the prince can realize this, he might recruit a group of mercenaries from other towns as the main defensive force. At least they can go directly to the battlefield without training, and bring their own weapons and armor, which is relatively high price.

Roland thought for a moment and nodded. "You said it is good. It is really not realistic to rely on a militia team to guard the entire wall."

In the heart of Fanna, the meaning of His Highness is... agree with his opinion?

But the four princes did not say the words he was expecting to hear, but called the iron axe to the side. "The evil beast is in a sense just a variant of the beast. They have no ability to think?"

"Yes, Your Royal Highness, the evil beast of the common species is no different from the beast. Even the habits are basically the same... but mixed species, I don't see much, I am not sure."

"That's it. Although it is nearly 1,800 feet (600 meters) long from the Chishui River to the foot of the North Slope, we can induce them to attack specific areas."

"Do you mean traps?" asked the iron axe.

"It's a trap, but it's not like the one used by hunters. Ordinary traps hide themselves by capturing their prey, and I plan to do the opposite, setting pocket barriers such as fences, slopes, ditch, away from the walls. Forcing these brainless beasts to automatically circumvent. The continuous obstacles will guide the prey to the designated location, and finally concentrate on our prepared defensive zone," Roland said here to look at the iron axe. "As for how to lure these monsters, I I think no one is better at you than you are."

The iron axe thought, "It is no problem to guide them. The wolf does not like to touch the water, the wild boar breeds the light, and the other evil beasts have their own habits. But your Highness, this will cause all the evil beasts to concentrate on this. Is it too dangerous in the 600-foot range?"

"If you just rely on long guns and bows, that's true." Roland said with a strong foot. "But now we have new weapons."

When he left, the prince came back to Fanna and patted him on the shoulder. "The observation is good, what is your name?"

"Where... Fanna, Your Highness."

"I will propose to your chief knight to let you serve as the deputy team, Mr. Fanner, do it well."

*******************

Roland built a new bungalow in the backyard of the Burning House to make snow powder – that is, gunpowder.

This three-square-meter house has only one entrance and exit and implements the strictest security system. There are two knights at the door, and any entrant needs to register and search for it to prevent the introduction of firelights. Any fire source is prohibited indoors, so it will only start during the day. In order to prevent the nightingale from sneaking in, the gauze was hung on the door frame.

"Is this your new weapon?" Carter, who was summoned, pinched a little black powder with his fingers and sniffed it in front of his nose. "Isn't this snow powder?"

The iron axe may not be clear, but Carter often attends the royal ceremony, and naturally knows that this is the thing in the bucket. The singularity of the alchemy workshop is a secret to the outside world, but if the prince wants it, he will definitely get it.

“It’s snow powder, but it’s not exactly,” said Roland. “The latest improvement in the Alchemy Workshop, I call it gunpowder.”

Gunpowder is a must-have farming artifact for any passer. The material is widely available. As long as you know the best ratio of sulfur, charcoal and saltpeter to 1.5 to 7.5, you can make it without any technical threshold.

The snow powder of this era is 60% of charcoal, sulphur and saltpeter accounted for 20%, and other rare materials (such as mercury, butter, honey, etc.) accounted for 20% of inferior products, burning slowly, releasing less gas, fully exerted No effect of gunpowder. However, Roland knows that the alchemists are constantly experimenting with other ratios for up to 30 years, and snow powder that is closer to the standard black powder formula formula will appear.

In history, after the gunpowder was invented, it took a long time to completely eliminate the cold weapon, because the formula and the corresponding weapon manufacturing process could not keep up.

However, many people have neglected it. Even if it does not rely on guns, gunpowder itself is a terrible weapon.
