At that moment, a high-ranking officer sitting at the end of the conference table stood up to Su Yu, asking respectfully, “Your Excellency Nemesis, how should this weapon be operated?”

Su Yu picked up the flintlock, “I’ll give you a demonstration.”

With his left hand holding the pistol, he took a pack of gunpowder from his bag with his right hand and tore open the pack with his mouth.

Then, he tipped part of the gunpowder into the pan of the flintlock. After closing the lid, he placed the firearm vertically and filled the barrel with the remaining gunpowder.

He then pulled out the ramrod attached underneath the gun barrel and firmly pushed the gunpowder to the bottom to prevent it, as well as the bullet, from falling out.

Finally, he slid the ramrod back into its original place.

The entire preparation was considered done.

After finishing the preparation, Su Yu raised the flintlock, cocked the hammer, and aimed at the wall of the conference room and pulled the trigger. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Boom!

The bullet flew out of the gun muzzle and hit the pristine wall creating a dark bullet hole.

The high-ranking officials of the Empire silently watched Su Yu’s demonstration.

Upon witnessing the destructive power of the flintlock, they were not particularly surprised. In fact, some even looked slightly disappointed.

Acting Marshal Lucas coughed lightly and said, “Your Excellency Nemesis, if I’m not mistaken, it appears that the power of this weapon is roughly equivalent to that of an arrow shot by a first-level archer. Its power seems to be minimal.”

The other officers nodded in agreement.

The soldiers in the elite units of the Empire were generally in the second and third levels. Su Yu’s weapons might be useful against ordinary troops, but against the elite ones, they were practically useless and certainly had no potential to rally the situation.

Of course, Su Yu was aware of this as well. He replied with a smile,

“This weapon is actually designed for the average person. The flintlock has a range of about 80 meters, and if given to common people, it can significantly enhance their individual combat abilities. At the very least, they wouldn’t be slaughtered so mercilessly like before.

Moreover, my lordship has another type of weapon. When used in tandem with the firearms, they can form a formidable army when wielded by trained common individuals.”

Su Yu extracted a Magic Image Stone from his bag and projected the magic image onto the wall.

The other new weapon Su Yu introduced was—a Cannon.

The option of producing cannons would be available once the land is upgraded to [County Town] in the military technology tree.

Furthermore, in comparison to firearms, cannons could serve as essential tools to attack and defend in wars, so extensive researches had been conducted on the cannon technology in Su Yu’s territory.

The current firearm innovation lagged behind, still stuck in the 20 second per gun style of 16th-century Blue Star;

whereas Cannon technology had evolved from firing solid balls in smoothbore muzzle-loaded cannons to firing long conical explosive bullets from rifled cannons—it had already reached the pivotal stage prior to the First World War in Blue Star history!

In the magic image, rows of cannons unleashed a barrage of cannonballs, shelling the mounds of earth three kilometers away, and causing a shower of earth and stones.

Standing beside the image, Su Yu explained, “This weapon is called a ‘Cannon’. The power of each cannon is roughly equivalent to a second-order peak Mage casting a range spell. The range of a cannon is much longer than a second-order peak Mage. It can accurately hit targets three kilometers away.

And the most crucial point is—common people can operate it too.

A group of 2—3 ordinary people operating a cannon can manifest a combat power that is comparable to a second-order peak mage. This can significantly alleviate the scarcity of our military force.”

“Three kilometers range?” Lucas’ eyes lit up at that thought.

A second-order peak mage with a range of three kilometers would make a significant difference on the battlefield!

He turned his gaze towards the master of the Silver Pine Spire, Roland.

Roland nodded, “Based on the magic image, the power of the weapon depicted is indeed comparable to a second-order peak mage casting a range spell. There is no mistake in what Nemesis has claimed.”

With Roland’s affirmation, Lucas’ mind was made up.

He turned his attention to Princess Alyssa, “Your Highness, I believe we could purchase a batch to experiment. It could potentially have miraculous effects.”

“Very well, let’s order a batch to test its effectiveness.” Princess Alyssa didn’t hesitate, “Nemesis, your territory is in Orleans City, right?”

“Correct.”

“When we get to Orleans City, bring the new-style weapons to the army.”

“Understood.”

Princess Alyssa stood up and addressed the gathered officials, “That settles it. We’ll start preparations to evacuate. We must all leave Forest City before the arrival of the rebel forces.

Nemesis, take charge of training a force with these new weapons. The Empire treasury will cover the expenses.”

“Understood, Your Highness,” the high-ranking officials of the Empire responded.

The meeting officially concluded.

After the meeting was over, the high-ranking officials of the Empire began to leave the council room. After a while, only Princess Alyssa and Su Yu, who was prompted by Alyssa to stay, remained in the conference room.

Now that no one else was in the room, Su Yu asked Princess Alyssa, “Alyssa, why did you ask me to stay?”

Alyssa smoothed back her hair and said, “Nemesis, do you remember how I controlled Xi Fan a week ago with [The Best Sword in the Village], ultimately preventing him from self-destruction?”

“Of course, I remember. What’s up?”

The incident had happened a week ago for Alyssa, but for Su Yu, it had only transpired about a dozen hours back. How could he possibly forget?

Alyssa looked very serious, “[The Best Sword in the Village] is a law weapon. Only a god-level powerhouse at the eighth rank can manufacture such a weapon.”

Su Yu exclaimed, “!!!”

He was genuinely taken aback. “You mean, the village head is a god-level powerhouse?!! But wait! Are there not only two god-level human powerhouses?”

In the past, players had analyzed the village head and concluded that he was a well-hidden powerhouse, whose strength should be above the seventh level.

But since players could not return to the novice village after leaving it, they had no way of having too much interaction with the village head. Thus, the analysis remained speculative.

Who would have thought that the village head was so powerful?

Alyssa shook her head, “I’m not sure if the village head is a god-level powerhouse. I asked the elder deity, but he has always been reticent about this matter.”

“However, you also know that we are currently in dire need of high-level powerhouses. So, I hope to invite the village head to join us in confronting the rebel forces.”

Alyssa took out a beautifully wrapped letter from the Space Ring and handed it to Su Yu,

“Nemesis, in the few days before we leave Forest City, please deliver this letter to the village head. It’s a token of gratitude and also an invitation for him to lend his aid in safeguarding the empire.”

As soon as Alyssa finished speaking, Su Yu received a game prompt:

“Ding, your main plotline has been updated, [The Glory of the Goldfinch Empire (46/100)].”

“Task requirement: Deliver the Princess Alyssa’s handwritten letter to the village head of Nolan Village.”

“Task reward: Second-order skill scroll [Thunderstorm] X1.”
