Chapter 544: The new weapon of the steam tank
Elsie complained while grabbing the head of the dwarf leader, which annoyed him a little.
He had to mutter "Forget it. Although I can't take out a tank now, there is a good thing for you to see. This is the idea proposed by the grandmaster blacksmith, and it was made by our race. According to the grandmaster blacksmith, this is to make up for your tanks fire defects. The grandmaster blacksmith said that last time when the wolf riders attacked the city, you drove the tank to fight against them, but the wolf rider passed the tank and ran past it. You couldn't attack them at all. At that time, the battle happened in the town, so you couldnt fire with your tank either, so we added a less powerful weapon. "
Of course, Elsie still remembered this. He asked Robb for a less powerful weapon. At that time, Robb joked and asked him to shoot arrows.
He thought that Robb hadn't considered his request at all, but he didn't expect that Robb had already ordered the dwarves to develop it. He couldn't help but feel happy. "A thing proposed by Godfather? It must be a good thing. Let me have a look."
The dwarf leader waved his hand, and two dwarves immediately opened the sewer lid and jumped in. After a while, they crawled out of the sewer again, holding some strange small boxes in their hands. These small boxes had a reserved screw hole on them, which seemed to be used to fix something. A long line was drawn on it, and there was a switch on the end of the line.
The dwarf leader said "Look, these iron boxes are used to hang outside the tank. And the switch on the end of the line is used to extend to the inside of the tank. When we make a new tank for you, we will reserve some holes on the outer shell of the tank. At that time, we will hang the boxes on the outer shell of the tank, and these lines with switches are extended into the tank through the holes. You can control these switches and trigger these boxes from inside the tank."
Elsie understood what he meant at once. "Is there magic in these boxes?"
"Yes!" the dwarf leader said, "Try it."
Elsie took a box and pointed it at a big stone in the distance. He clicked the switch and the lid of the box was opened. Then, stars flew out of the box and hit the big stone continuously. It had the spell starfall sealed.CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m
"Wow!" Elsie was overjoyed. "This box is so powerful. The outer wall of my tank is full of this kind of boxes. Then I can activate the boxes through the switches in the tank."
"Yes, that's it," the dwarf leader said. "When I heard the idea of the grandmaster blacksmith, I also felt that it was a big brain idea. In the future, we can try to develop all kinds of strange weapons, hang them on the outer wall of the tank, and operate them inside."
Elsie, "hahaha, my tank is even more powerful now."
Soon, recruitment began!
It turned out that although ordinary townsmen usually hated military recruitment and war. This time, no one objected. Recruitment had just begun, and a lot of people already actively registered for it.
The will of the people was unprecedentedly high. The entire sky above Bright Road seemed to be echoing with the sound of horns.
Not long after, Robb received the news that Duke Madeleine led the Black Earth Knights and several groups of miscellaneous soldiers to go to East Gran.
This was a war of "justice". Countless people came to the gate of the city spontaneously to see the army off.
When Robb heard the news, he couldn't help but sigh deeply. "It wasnt easy to earn a few months of peace, yet it begins again..."
While he was complaining about the queen and worrying about the safety of Madeleine, he suddenly saw several people at the door of the chapel peeking. These people were dressed in black cloaks and covered faces, and they didn't look like good people at first glance. Moreover, they were peeking at the chapel, which made him more suspicious.
In Westwind Town, no one would approach Robb's chapel like this.
Because everyone here knew that Godfather was kind and amiable, not the kind of leader who liked to put on airs like nobles. Anyone could enter his chapel and visit it openly. When Godfather was in a good mood, he would say hello to you, buy you a cup of Coca-Cola, and when he was in a bad mood, he would not scold you. At most, he would be lazy on his stone stool and wont talk or greet people, making people think that there was a scarecrow lying on the stone stool.
Such people who came to the chapel to poke their heads must be an outsider. They didn't know the rules of Westwind town.
Robb happened to be in a good mood today. He chuckled at the people in cloaks and said, "don't stand outside and poke your heads. If you have anything to say, come in and talk."
Those people froze for a moment. Obviously, they didn't expect Robb to be so indifferent. After hesitating for a while, they seemed to have made up their mind. Then they lifted their cloaks and walked towards Robb.
