Recalling what happened in the morning, Roland felt a little weird.
You said that he was an ordinary transmigrator, how did he become the chosen one? Is it time to read a couple of poems to express your surprise
When he woke up early in the morning, when Agatha reported his observations to him, he thought he had heard it wrong. But with the proof of many witches, he can only recognize it first. At the same time, Roland knew that the result would be beyond the expectations of the Taquila survivors. In order to strengthen the integrity of the communication, he simply asked the other party to visit his nap at noon.
I don't know whether it's because my psychological quality has increased after becoming a king, or I'm just lazy... After picking up a copy of "Advanced Mathematics" and lying on the office bench, not long after reading it, I actually fell asleep. The first thing I saw when I was woken up was Nightingale's back with a gun drawn, and Phyllis's fainting appearance.
However, Roland doesn't think that the so-called "chosen ones" are chosen by heaven. It's just that the Taquila survivors placed so much hope on what they found that they regarded the witch who could activate it as a savior. figure.
There is no doubt that the three seats of the Federation can turn against each other in times of extreme danger. The things in the ruins must be no trivial matter, but it is worth considering that it has the power comparable to the gods and can destroy the devil in one fell swoop. After all, it is like a creation of the gods, so how could the person who made it disappear into the underground labyrinth without a sound? .
Of course, if you want to know the inside story in detail, you have to further communicate with the survivors.
In addition, the observation of dreams also proved his conjecture on the other hand - this dream world is indeed not completely constructed by his consciousness, and the details are too rich far beyond the capacity of the brain. It is true that there is a lot of material provided, but it is someone else who puts them together.
He had speculated before that the witch was the terminal of magic power transformation. Now it seems that there is still a hurdle between the terminal and the magic power. It is this level that gives the magic a wonderful change. It is like a black box with unknown principles. As long as the witch sends an order, the black box can give back the results. In other words, the witch's ability to realize the process is no different from the dream world, the only difference is that he has no magic power to manifest the dream.
This reminded Roland of the relationship between the wizard and the magic net. The former connected with the magic net through gestures, spells and casting materials, and obtained the power he needed from it. If the level is regarded as the magic net, there are some similarities.
And after he defeated Zero, he accidentally gained the ability to connect levels, but that's all. The complexity of the instruction is only related to the difficulty of realization, not the strength and use of the ability. On the contrary, the closer the ability is to the essence of magic, the easier its transformation should be - for example, directly transforming magic into light and heat is definitely much easier than creating matter, but the power is absolutely earth-shattering.
This is also one of the main reasons why Roland is interested in the ruins. The beam of light presented by the colorful magic stone looks like a special "command sending" method. Replacing witches with artificial things, trying to forge orders... The research on magic power can go so far as it is clearly beyond the level of the Federation. Aside from the titles of the Chosen One and the Instrument of Divine Condemnation, which are full of imperial connotations, it may mean Emergence of new technology.
For that alone, he had to deal with the Taquila witch.
Considering that "The Chosen One is actually a mortal" may bring a heavy blow to the other party, and even setback their confidence in fighting the devil, Roland decided to let Phyllis visit the power of the new era before going into the negotiations. .
In order to achieve better "persuasion" effect, he called Iron Axe into the office.
"How's the situation with the evil beasts recently?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it's all scattered harassment, and the patrol team on the city wall can solve it." Sand Min replied after giving a standard military salute.
"Very well, I plan to hold an artillery exercise in the city wall area in the near future. It needs to have a grand scene and minimize waste as much as possible."
The commander-in-chief of the First Army pondered for a while, "You mean... cheating?"
Roland couldn't help laughing, it seems that Iron Axe's understanding of gunpowder has become more and more real, "To be precise, it is a mixture of truth and falsehood. When showing accurate shooting, load live ammunition; when showing fire coverage, use pre-buried black powder. ,do you understand?"
"Yes, Your Majesty," Iron Axe nodded immediately.
Blank ammunition is a commonly used thing in exercises. Since it is used to bluff people, there is no need to pour out the precious howitzer like water. Using the pre-buried wire detonation to detonate can also have a shocking effect, or even better. .
Roland roughly recounted the plan he had conceived in his mind, "I hope the final explosion will be eye-catching enough, so you can prepare more black powder for this."
"Your Majesty, this may affect the operation of the artillery battalion..."
He shook his head, "It doesn't matter, in fact, I plan to phase out black powder weapons, such as twelve-pound field guns, which are no longer suitable for future battles."
The heavy gun body, slow firing speed, and low power of solid bullets restrict its further application. The battle under the Cold Wind Ridge fully demonstrated that the lethality of field artillery is very limited, especially when faced with scattered attacking and fast-moving enemies. The unlucky people hit by the iron pellets were only about a hundred people.
In addition, it is difficult to transport, it is difficult to coordinate with the infantry to attack, and it is difficult to carry out urban operations, and its use is becoming more and more narrow. The revolver rifle can still be used for a while, but the gunpowder consumption of the bullet is much smaller, even if it consumes half of the inventory, it will not be affected.
With the help of Dreamworld, Roland's new chemical reform plan is already in preparation, and the steady increase in the production of double-base gunpowder has given him the capital to eliminate black gunpowder weapons.
"Have you designed a new alternative weapon?" Iron Axe's eyes suddenly lit up.
Roland smiled and took out a drawing from the drawer and spread it out in front of the table, "A kind of curved firepower that can be far or near, which can be carried by several people separately, with considerable power, simple structure, and easy operation. What do you think? ?"
Iron Axe bent over and looked at the drawing for a while, "Uh... I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I can only look at the appearance... It looks like an iron pipe. With such a thin wall, can it really fire artillery shells?"
"The key, of course, is the dedicated shell, but it's still far simpler to make than the 152mm howitzer."
"Does the new weapon have a name?"
"You can call it a mortar," Roland replied.
