Meng Han doesn't know how powerful the peak swordsman is, but Meng Han has a simple judgment in his heart. Even the peak swordsman, even the sword master, can't defeat bullets, right? Even if he is not afraid of one or two guns,
Shoot, but what if there are dozens or hundreds of guns? Can you still escape from the gunpoint?
It is impossible for modern firearms to be produced here early, at least not now, but Meng Han has another way. Bows and crossbows can be very powerful after design. Meng Han has seen the bows of the Elf brothers, even if they are from within the Elf clan
, those bows do not seem to be too powerful. The elves have a relatively weak body shape, and their advantages are concentrated in magic and martial arts. They are not very good at strength.
If you use a bow arm that is too strong, it is very likely that no one among you will be able to pull it open, but the crossbow is different. With the help of some lever devices, Meng Han is confident that he can make it stronger than the strong bow of the elves.
It's several times as heavy as a crossbow, and I believe that even a peak swordsman would not dare to use it lightly.
"Demi, go get Edward and Edwin." When Meng Han thought of this, he directly said his signature words.
As soon as the lord said this, it meant there was something good again. This was already a rule. Demi agreed and ran out directly. Meng Han looked at Grace, then at Qiao, and finally turned to Qiao.
Bian: "Get rid of him. And the other bodies, clean them all, don't leave any traces."
As expected of someone who had wandered outside, Qiao nodded without saying a word and pulled the tax collector, who had passed out again, out of the room like a dead dog. In the room, only Meng Han, Grace, and
Little maid Diana.
"Grace, remember, these tax collectors have never been here before." Meng Han thought for a while and warned Grace. Grace had never seen such killings with her own eyes, and her face was still a little pale at this time.
.
"Why? Sir!" Grace was obviously frightened by the scene just now, and her mind was not very flexible. She still couldn't immediately think through Meng Han's instructions.
"Because we have to fight for a while." Meng Han smiled, moved closer, and reached out to hold Grace's little hand: "Don't be afraid, Grace, it will be fine."
Maybe it was the Lord's words that gave Grace strength, but more probably it was Meng Han holding Grace's hand that made her more excited. Her face, which was pale just now, was suddenly covered with blush. In this state,
It seemed that killing people and peak swordsmen were no longer so scary. Grace nodded gently and said like a mosquito snoring: "Yes, sir!"
"Edward, Edwin, do we have mild steel with good elasticity here?" Meng Han's first question when he saw the dwarf brothers was this. If you want to make a heavy crossbow, you can't do it without these.
"There is some mild steel, but it depends on what you need to do." Edward was already familiar with the Lord's instructions. When he heard it, he knew that Meng Han had something new, and he became interested.
The structure of the crossbow is more complicated than that of the bow, but for a college graduate, it does not seem to be that complicated. Even if the original design cannot be copied, Meng Han has seen slingshots in the shop in his previous life.
It's basically the same as a small crossbow. Even Meng Han specially added pulleys and auxiliary strings, plus a lever-effect winding device, which is very easy.
Grace and the two little maids didn't think anything of it, but the dwarf brothers' eyes lit up when they heard it. They had never heard of the crossbow that the lord mentioned. There is no shortage of bows and arrows in this world, nor is there a shortage of crossbows.
Even among the famous legendary weapons, the bow is indispensable. However, there has never been such a crossbow with pulleys and auxiliary strings.
According to your design, this kind of crossbow is much simpler to use than a bow. At least in terms of aiming, it is countless times easier than a bow. Moreover, when pulling the bow, you must use both arms to aim.
It will also be affected when the crossbow is used, but the accuracy of the crossbow will not be affected by the user's strength at all. Moreover, after being cocked, there is no need to use force to pull it apart. Even if you are not an elf archer, it is estimated that ordinary people can have good accuracy.
As for the pulleys and secondary strings, according to the Lord, they can greatly increase the stability and strength of the crossbow. If properly built, the power of the crossbow can be increased to a jaw-dropping figure.
Especially the lever winding device that the adults are talking about. Although the dwarves do not have any physical theory in this area, they have used it many times in actual operation. You can tell at a glance that it will save a lot of effort. In this way, there is this labor saving.
The device makes it easier to use the crossbow.
Using the best soft steel to make the bow arm, and adding these auxiliary facilities, the two dwarf brothers could hardly imagine how powerful such a crossbow would be. Perhaps, if it were replaced with fine iron arrowheads, even iron blocks could be used
Shoot it through!
Meng Han never had blueprints for relatively important ordnance. This was a habit and a need for confidentiality. In order to describe the details to the dwarf brothers, Meng Han didn't know how much talk he spent before the two of them fully understood.
"How long does it take to build such a crossbow?" Meng Han's last thousand words boiled down to just one question, to the dwarf brothers.
"Sir, I estimate that it will take at least five days to build such a crossbow for the first time." Edward carefully recalled some of the technical details that the adults had said, and finally gave a rough number. There is no way, there are so many details inside.
There are a lot of parts, and the requirements are very high. It was the first time to build it, and even the dwarf brothers didn't dare to ask for it.
"Do it right away." Meng Han didn't force them to do anything, he just told them to start right away: "Try to do it as quickly as possible, and make some fine iron arrowheads by the way."
After sending away the dwarf brothers, Meng Han himself began to sit down and wonder, how to face the next attack from the Lord of Stormwind City?
Meng Han did not regret killing the tax collector. After being collectively humiliated by the elves last time, Meng Han set a goal for himself. When he had the strength, he would never let anyone bully him like this again.
Himself and the people of Huangsha Town.
The Lord of Stormwind City was too greedy this time. He asked for 80% of the tax, and Meng Han knew that once he weakly agreed, he would be faced with even more severe exploitation. This was already revealed by the tax officer later.
The confession made it very clear. A high-grade stone quarry has opened in Huangsha Town, and the wealth is rolling in. The Lord of Stormwind City will never give up such an attractive piece of fat. He even wants to take away Huangsha Town’s quarry.
The twins were all massacred in order to achieve his goal of occupying the Bai Yaojing quarry.
To such a person, Meng Han will never bow his head easily. Even if the Lord of Stormwind City is his immediate boss. Now Meng Han has his own military power, and in the near future, Meng Han firmly believes that he will become an official
Magician, when the time comes, you won’t have to care about this little city lord at all.
The only thing to consider may be the peak great swordsman. Unfortunately, Meng Han has not known how terrifying the peak great swordsman is so far. Everything is only based on simple level inference. The real
Meng Han didn't know its strength. All hope seemed to lie in the powerful crossbow that Meng Han asked the dwarf brothers to build.
Meng Han was thinking about how to deal with the Lord of Stormwind City, but Butler Donald was not as relaxed as he seemed. When he returned to his residence, the first thing Mr. Donald did was to quickly record everything that had just happened, especially Meng Han.
The magic was emitted so quickly. After recording the situation, Mr. Donald immediately called one of the most loyal guards of the Marquis Mansion and asked him to hurry up and send this information back to the hands of the Marquis and Viscount. I believe the Marquis and his son,
I will consider my attitude towards Meng Han more clearly.
"Father, Donald has sent the latest news." After receiving the letter from Donald's butler, Viscount Francis came to the Marquis's study immediately. The new bathroom business not only brought Francis a large number of gold coins, but also brought a
With more recognition from the family, his voice in front of the Marquis has also increased a lot. In contrast, Viscount Francis has even matured a lot suddenly. No matter who is in charge of such a big business, he has to deal with some princes and nobles.
, consider the balance of all aspects, and give to whomever you give first, and you will become mature quickly.
"This boy is very courageous!" After seeing this, the Marquis seemed very amused: "He even dares to kill the tax collector sent by his immediate superior."
"This is not surprising. Maybe he feels that he is emboldened with our support." Francis smiled and expressed his judgment.
"Are you going to support him?" The Marquis looked at his son and asked.
"I really want to fully support him, but I think I'd better take a look first." Francis thought for a while and replied: "I can ask Mr. Donald to testify for him, but I won't do anything else. If his pornography
If Sand Town is annexed, then he is not worthy of cooperating with us. Anyway, he will be fine, and the old men at the Magic Academy are eager to let him stay in the school."
"What if he keeps his property?" Looking at this son who talked freely and seemed to have his own opinions, the Marquis was very satisfied and asked immediately.
"If he keeps his property, I will plead with Your Majesty and really let him be the lord of Huangsha City." Francis smiled: "This is what I promised him before I left last time."
"Since it's a test, I think Mr. Donald doesn't need to show up yet." The Marquis thought more thoughtfully than Francis: "Let's see how many trump cards this magical Baron has. Don't forget, Donald
