Chapter 272 Sir, times have changed
There is actually a whole row of firearms stacked in the arms box!
There are various types of firearms including rifles, rifles, and shotguns.
Lao Meng was a little better. After all, he was a senior member of the "relevant departments" and knew that these firearms were produced in the General Territory of Ke, and Ke's wife also used these firearms to cultivate an army composed of ordinary people.
But other players don’t know!
Seeing these firearms, everyone felt a sense of time and space confusion as when Guan Gong fought against Qin Qiong.
A player stepped forward and picked up a rifle, with astonishment written all over his face: "Why are there such things as guns in the game? Sir, times have changed?"
Another player also picked up a shotgun: "Isn't this an old-fashioned 'troll'? Many policemen took this when I bought it for zero dollars, but this seems to be the most primitive 'troll' and is incomparable to modern ones." Compare."
“Oh my god! This time the weapons were released and guns were released! It seems that Ke’s wife is planning to make big news!” A player said in surprise.
The "Kesao" in the players' mouth refers to Tina of course.
In these 10-ring missions, Mr. Ke often had some close interactions with Tina.
And players discovered that when Tina issues a task to them, as long as they reply with "Okay Kesao", the task reward will be immediately increased by 30%!
So at the end of this 10-ring mission, the players all called Tina "Kesao".
…
There is a male player next to Lao Meng named [Old Woman with Two Guns].
His family runs a shooting experience center and is very familiar with these firearms.
He picked up a shotgun, loaded it with bullets and loaded it skillfully, then pointed it at Lao Meng: "Put your hands up, little devil! Otherwise I'm going to shoot!"
Lao Meng: “…”
The old woman smiled and said: "Haha, just kidding. But then again, Lao Meng, you are the one with the highest defense among the players here. Why don't I shoot you and try to do some damage?"
The old woman looked at Lao Meng's mature pecs and was a little eager to try. He had never fired a gun in the game!
Lao Meng thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay! You can try it."
He also wanted to know how much damage this old-fashioned firearm could cause to players, so he readily agreed.
Lao Meng picked up his shield and pointed it at the shotgun.
But considering that the shotgun has a high probability of not being able to penetrate the shield, and most players are unlikely to have such a high defense.
So Lao Meng threw away his shield and pointed his chest at the muzzle of the gun.
The old woman was a little hesitant: "Do you want to activate a damage reduction skill?"
"No need." Lao Meng said confidently: "With my defense, even ordinary defense and damage reduction skills can't handle it. You just shoot."
The old woman knew that what Lao Meng was telling the truth, nodded, pointed the thimble at Lao Meng's chest, and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
The bullet came out of the gun, and the old woman's arm was numb from the shock. Lao Meng was also knocked back several steps by the bullet, and his chest hurt.
Looking at his health, Lao Meng found that his health had dropped to 64%, and one shot actually knocked out 1/3 of his health!
If you switch to a normal defensive battle here, one shot and half health will be no problem!
When the surrounding players saw Lao Meng's health bar, they couldn't help but marveled: "This gun is very powerful! One shot can kill half of Lao Meng's health! If a mage or archer were standing here, he would probably be killed with one shot. !”
“The archer will die with one shot! The mage will not necessarily die. If the mage releases [Earth Shield], he should be able to survive.”
“Anyway, let’s quickly pick out a gun and tell your friends by the way. There don’t seem to be many guns in stock here, and it won’t be long before they’re all gone!”
“Yes, yes, pick a gun quickly.”
Players stepped forward to pick out their favorite firearms.
Even Lao Meng picked out a rifle and happily put it into his backpack.
…
What happened in the armory quickly spread through private chats and major guild channels. This incident caused quite a stir among the player community.
The online Empire players rushed towards the armory, wanting to get a gun to play with.
There is no chance to touch the gun offline, but it is good to try it online.
The players were so enthusiastic that it didn’t take long for the armory to be surrounded by water.
The quartermaster is also constantly distributing firearms and tasks to players.
However, the stock of firearms is limited after all.
By the time the firearms distribution was completed, the armory had distributed a total of 2,000 firearms of various types to players, and at the same time assigned these 2,000 people tasks related to using firearms in combat.
The players who received the firearms organized under the leadership of Lao Meng and went to join the two thousand NPC firearms troops trained by Tina, and then rushed to the battlefield in a mighty manner.
On the frontal battlefield, in addition to the four thousand firearms troops, the artillery troops also made a shining appearance!
80 artillery pieces were set up on the city wall in turn, unleashing firepower on the rebels in the distance.
Many players also received the war mission of "manipulating artillery" on the city wall, and were fortunate enough to be able to operate artillery fire with their own hands.
The hit rate of players using artillery and firearms is still very high.
Players can not only get some hit data correction during shooting, but also see a "simulated trajectory" displayed as a green dotted line when using artillery and firearms.
“Simulated ballistics” was originally a benefit for archer players. After all, there are few locked skills in this game. “Simulated ballistics” can ensure that every archer can shoot accurately.
Now “simulated ballistics” is also used on muskets and artillery. With the assistance of “simulated ballistics”, players can hit the target accurately and unleash their firepower on the enemy positions.
The rebel players were immediately miserable.
Faced with the outpouring of firepower from the Imperial players, they could only take a beating and were unable to fight back.
The shooting range of rifles and shotguns is about 100 meters, while the shooting range of magicians and archers is only 40-50 meters. As long as the imperial troops kept shooting from a good distance, the rebels had no way to fight back.
The rebels' battle line was not particularly stable to begin with. Now it was violently attacked by firearms and artillery troops. It didn't take long for the battle line to collapse.
The players in the forward position turned into streaks of white light, and the surviving NPCs fled towards the back.
Players in the rebel army are also discussing in their respective chat rooms:
“What the **** is going on? Why are we still using cold weapons, while the other side has already started using long guns and cannons?”
“This cannon is so powerful! One cannon can cover a large area.”
"How can we fight this battle? The opponent's long guns and artillery have such a long range, we can only be beaten passively, and we can't fight back at all."
“I don’t know either. Let’s see how the two dukes decide.”
The news of the collapse of the front line quickly reached the ears of the two rebel dukes.
They came to the front line personally to check the situation.
After seeing the artillery set up on the city wall and the gun troops below that were wildly harvesting the player's troops, the two dukes fell silent.
After being silent for a while, Duke Anzu Seifer sighed: "Is this the secret weapon reported by the spies some time ago? It is indeed quite powerful!"
Lantilus closed his eyes and felt the power of the artillery, and said slowly: "This power is indeed not small. It has almost caught up with the power of the second-level peak mage's range spell. It is very lethal to ordinary troops and adventurers from other worlds." powerful."
“According to the spies’ report, this is a new weapon produced in the nemesis’ territory.”
“Nemesis? Him again?” Lantilus frowned.
“Yes.” Duke Seph sighed again: “What should we do next?”
"Retreat!" Lantilus shook his head: "Let all the troops withdraw, guard the camp, and wait patiently for the final battle."
