Tiandou Empire, Calisia Province, Solius City, late at night.

In the dim streets, there was no noise at this moment in the once prosperous streets.

After the war between the two empires, this city in the south of the Tiandou Empire slowly disappeared as the war continued. More and more residents began to move north following the instructions of the province. More and more residents

Soldiers and weapons gradually replenished this ever-empty city.

Later, Soliu Sicheng became an important transit hub within the Tiandou Empire, with a large number of people and materials constantly coming and going. However, due to its proximity to the front line, when the war between the two countries was at its most intense, it was once constantly hit by Star Luo.

Army attack.

The city lord of Suoliu Sicheng once hesitated whether he should temporarily transfer materials to conserve power, but fortunately, Suoliu Sicheng survived. Until the official end of the Wuhun Palace, it was not breached and remained firmly on the territory of Tiandou.

At present, due to the intervention of Wuhun Palace, the Xingluo army in Tiandou has begun to withdraw and pull the battle line back. Most of them have re-entered the territory of Barak Principality and switched from offense to defense. Under this situation, Liu Sicheng

The tense situation gradually improved, but due to the previous war, the night became much bleaker, with only lonely lights remaining on the dim streets.

Under the dim light, a thin man walked towards the city lord's palace in the center of the city, following the traces of lights. He was holding a long pole wrapped tightly with a cloth strip, making it difficult to see what it was.

.

"Tap..."

The sound of subtle footsteps is particularly special in the quiet night. Some nocturnal creatures wandering in the city are walking on the roofs of houses. Their eyes that blend into the night are looking towards the direction of the footsteps with a bit of curiosity.

, there were even a few bold guys who relied on their concealed whereabouts to lean towards that man.

"Snapped!"

"Meow!"

A stone hit a roof near the street, frightening a stray cat hiding on it to scream, and then its hair exploded and it fled the place several times.

The man looked away and felt better after driving away the little tail who followed him out of curiosity.

Although these little tails wouldn't have any impact if they followed, he just didn't like it.

The skinny man moved not too slowly, his legs constantly alternating back and forth. In a short time, he passed through this city, which was not particularly large, and arrived outside the city lord's palace.

Stopping, the man looked around, and after confirming that there was no one around, he opened the door of the City Lord's Mansion and walked in.

"Take me to see my elder brother. I have something important to show the head of the family."

"plz follow me."

The thin man followed a servant with long hair in front and short back, and quickly walked to the room where the city lord was, a room with candles lit and the lights flickering through the windows.

"Knock knock knock, big brother, it's me, Jarvis."

"Come in yourself."

Hearing this, the thin man opened the door and walked in.

"What's the matter with you coming back this time? I remember, aren't you supposed to be fighting Xingluo on the front line now?"

A purple-haired man with gold and bronze bird patterns embroidered on his clothes sat on a chair, holding a bowl of tea in his hand, blowing on the tea liquid and lowering the temperature of the tea. The city lord of Suoliu Sicheng watched as he walked out of the door.

The clan brother who came in asked.

After looking at the deep night outside the window, the thin man holding a pole in his hand wandered his eyes to the tea cup in the city lord's hand for a while. While thinking about whether drinking tea at night would make him unable to sleep, he half-knelt down.

He bowed his head on the ground and replied:

"Brother, the Xingluo army is currently tightly locked up, switching from offense to defense. The armies of the Empire and Wuhun Palace are attacking from the north and south, blocking them to death. The war is not tense at the moment. It is not a big problem that I am missing from the front line.

I sneaked back, I have to rush back tomorrow."

The purple-haired city lord closed the lid of the tea cup, put the tea cup on the table beside him, put his hands on the armrests, looked at the thin man and frowned: "What is it that is worthy of your coming back in person, Jun?"

It’s not like there are no family members in the country, can’t you just ask them to send them back?”

Pointing to the seat next to him, the purple-haired city lord motioned for the thin man to sit down.

The Galides family is a family with roots in the province of Caricia.

Although it is not as large as those of the duchy royal family and the hereditary nobles in Tiandou City, it is still a family with a certain influence in the Tiandou Empire, especially in the province of Calisia, which controls many lifelines, military and political affairs.

There are members of the Galides family in all walks of life in business and industry, making them the biggest local gangsters in the province of Caricia.

The purple-haired city lord is the current head of the Galides family and the city lord of Solius City, while the thin man is a general of the armed forces of the Calicia province.

The thin man handed the pole wrapped in cloth to the purple-haired city lord, sat down on his seat, and said:

"Brother, you also know that Wuhun Palace has used several very powerful weapons in this war. Those who hold these new weapons have the ability to defeat ten. And Wuhun Palace also attaches great importance to these weapons. Every time

After the battle, the number of weapons will be checked and counted to prevent weapons from being lost."

"These are all thanks to my connections in Wuhun Palace. I asked them to forge some loss records in the inventory list, and then I got some. Brother, you don't even know how much effort I spent on these weapons.

.”

After Wuhun Palace officially launched its war against the Star Luo Empire, several armed legions armed with names like "guns" and "artillery" appeared on the battlefield, starting from Wuhun City and approaching from south to north.

The terrifying destructive power of these strange-looking weapons is enough to make most of the forces on the continent feel itchy.

When the purple-haired city lord untied the cloth and inspected the firearms, the thin man kept lobbying:

"Brother, I have carefully examined these 'firearms'. The name is really hard to pronounce. To be honest, I don't even know how to write the word 'gun' right now."

"I have seen the structure of these firearms. In fact, they are not particularly complicated. Although the strength of some components is indeed difficult to achieve, even if the quality is poor, it should not be a big problem in use, but the service life will be shorter. With the help of our family

If the craftsmen have a sample and spend more time, they should be able to imitate it."

Having said this, the thin man also took out a bag from the storage soul guide: "In addition to firearms, I also brought back some bullets and gunpowder powder."

"Brother, as long as we have this group of armed forces, our family's strength will be stronger. Coupled with the achievements of this war between the two countries, maybe in the future, only our Galides family will be left in the entire Carisia.

the sound of."

Taking apart a firearm, the purple-haired city lord inspected the parts, frowned, and then after looking at everything the thin man brought back, he asked in a low voice:

"These weapons don't require soul power, right?"

The thin man was stunned for a moment when he heard what the head of the family said, then nodded and replied: "Yes, the use of these weapons does not require soul power, so the difficulty of making them should be lower than those of soul guides. As long as there are enough resources.

, it should be possible to carry out large-scale production.”

Purple-haired City Lord: "..."

"Jarvis, the family can study these weapons and figure out how to counter them, but they must not manufacture them on a large scale."

"If possible, we should even unite with other soul master families on the mainland to resist killing this weapon."

The thin man's eyes widened, and the confusion in his eyes was very obvious: "Why? Isn't this a very convenient weapon? And it is easy to use, and it is easy to assemble an army with extremely strong combat power! Shouldn't we develop them?

?”

"Jarvis, do you know why our family has the status it has today in the province of Calisia?"

"Of course it's because our family's bloodline is outstanding, our martial arts talents are outstanding, and we possess powers that ordinary people don't have!" The thin man answered simply.

"Yes, our status is because of our power. In the same way, the special status that soul masters have on the mainland today is also because only we soul masters have power, and ordinary people cannot compete with us."

"So as long as we monopolize power, our position will not be shaken."

"but……"

Tapping his fingers on the firearm in his hand, the purple-haired city lord spoke in a very serious tone:

"Now this kind of weapon that can exert great power without soul power has appeared on the mainland. Have you ever thought that if this kind of weapon is manufactured and developed on a large scale, the power will no longer be monopolized by soul masters!"

"Even ordinary people without soul power can use this to attack and kill powerful soul masters."

"After discovering that strong people can be killed and retain blood, the awe in the hearts of the weak will continue to decrease. And the decrease in awe means that the status is shaken."

"The power is no longer unique to us, then the awe of ordinary people towards us will continue to decrease, and our transcendent status as soul masters may no longer exist."

"So Jarvis, as a soul master, even though we know the power and potential of this weapon called firearms and gunpowder, we still have to resist its development."

"This has nothing to do with anything else, it's just for our interests and status."
