Hunter starting from Hunter World

While Arturia was busy transforming the kingdom riddled with ills, the empire next door had taken the lead in completing the evolution of its army from cold weapons to firearms under the leadership of the Blood Emperor.

Not only that, he was also keenly aware of the power of technology and industry behind it, and personally ordered the establishment of a special place in the capital of the empire, where the magic guild and craftsmen united to try to repair and imitate muskets and artillery. .

No one in the world is faster and more proactive than this guy in accepting new things.

Especially when the first airship loaded with various supplies set sail from E-Rantel and successfully landed at the high tower at the entrance of the Imperial City Adventurers Association in a very short time, Gilknifer came to greet Allen in person. His eyes instantly lit up, and his whole body was trembling with excitement.

Because he had already imagined what it would be like to put muskets, cannons and other weapons on this huge aircraft, and then launch salvos and bombardments at enemies on the ground from above.

For other countries in the world that still rely on ground forces as their main force, this is completely a dimensionality reduction strike.

It is very likely that the other side will not be able to even fight back, and can only watch their army collapse and flee in the massacre.

Haha, it seems that Your Majesty is quite interested in this new means of transportation and transportation, isn't it?

Allen undoubtedly noticed the other party's reaction. He turned around with a smile and glanced at the airship cabin that was more than a hundred meters long behind Lan and a flight airbag four times the size.

Although from a modern perspective, this thing looks ugly and rough, just like a shoddy piece of junk.

But in fact, not only is there a large amount of anti-gravity magic inside the cabin, but its terrifying load capacity is enough to put any modern large transport aircraft to shame. Even the huge airbag above uses at least thirteen magic technologies.

For example, the air bag has the ability to automatically fuse and repair after rupture. Another example is that only a person who masters second-level magic can control the air bag to inflate and deflate, thereby achieving the purpose of raising or lowering the height.

As for the propulsion system, it is the crystallization of Azeroth's engineering technology - the golden energy core.

As long as it is charged once, it can work continuously for a long time.

Hahahaha! Of course I'm interested! How could I not be interested! If possible, I would like to place an order with the Hunter Association right now, and order three ships first, no, five ships! The Blood Emperor laughed and slapped him.

Due to a recent battle with the city-state alliance in the east, the empire had just annexed four cities and forced the other party to agree to pay a considerable amount of money every year, so it was quite wealthy.

Allen smiled and nodded: Yes! But you have to wait until the first six ships are completed before we can spare our hands to produce them for you.

The first six ships? The Blood Emperor touched his chin with a puzzled expression.

Yes! I am going to take the lead in opening a fixed route from E-Rantel to the capital of the empire, kingdom, and theocracy. Everyone, whether they are civilians, nobles or businessmen, can board the airship as long as they are willing to buy a ticket. Enjoy fast and safe travel between important cities in the above three countries. Moreover, the Hunter Association will send frost dragons to escort you along the way to ensure that everything goes smoothly.

Allen casually revealed his plan to build an air transportation network.

Six airships is not a lot, but it is not a lot.

Coupled with its amazing load-carrying capacity, it is enough to break down the barriers between regions and accelerate cultural, economic and political exchanges within human countries.

As for another invention, the steam locomotive, considering the cost of steelmaking in this world, the vast land and sparsely populated areas, and the frequent presence of various dangerous beasts and monsters, it was eventually cut down without mercy.

Maybe in the next few decades to a hundred years, when the population density reaches a certain level, it will be a better choice.

But now, airships are the most economical and efficient means of transportation.

Otherwise, just laying and repairing railways would be enough to drag down any country's finances.

The Blood Emperor looked at the huge cabin, which was hundreds of meters long and dozens of meters wide, with a thoughtful expression on his face: So that's it! With this epoch-making means of transportation, all kinds of commodities and goods can be It can be transported faster and safer to where it is needed for sale. But what about the cost? Is the starting price affordable by ordinary people and businessmen?

Allen replied without thinking: Of course! In fact, the cost of this thing is not as high as most people think. On the contrary, except for the troublesome enchanting part, the hull is basically the cheapest wooden structure , just send people to the forest to cut down and process it. The material of the air bag comes from the corpses of slimes, and with a few additives, a large-scale breeding farm can be built to meet the demand.

You mean...the association is willing to sell the technology for manufacturing airships? the Blood Emperor asked in an uncertain tone.

Not only airships! There are also muskets, cannons and gunpowder technology. As long as the empire is willing to learn, I will package them all and hand them over to you. But there are two conditions! Allen calmly stretched out two fingers.

This is not the place to talk. Please take a carriage with me to the palace. I have arranged a banquet, fine wine and delicious food. The Blood Emperor hurriedly made arrangements.

At this moment, a large number of people had gathered under the tower specially designed for docking airships.

Obviously, the residents of the imperial capital were full of interest in this sudden appearance of a behemoth.

Especially the profit-seeking businessmen, every one of them stared at the soldiers and workers who were unloading, trying to figure out the loading capacity of this new vehicle.

We must know that in this backward era where transportation basically relies on horse-drawn carriages and manpower, the transportation costs of various commodities and goods along the way may be much higher than the goods themselves.

What's more, if the distance is relatively long, adventurers and mercenaries must be hired to ensure safety.

Therefore, if a piece of bread worth two copper coins in one place is transported to a place dozens of kilometers away, it may have to be sold for twenty or thirty copper coins to make a profit.

If a cheap and safe transportation method emerges, it will be disruptive to the entire world.

As the business class who are most sensitive to this, they naturally have to pay attention to it.

Some chambers of commerce with relatively strong financial resources have even found out who the owner of this airship is, and are looking for an opportunity to meet with Allen to see if they can charter it for commercial operations.

…

The distance between the Hunter Association branch and the palace is not far, and it takes about ten minutes by horse-drawn carriage to get there.

Under the warm greeting of the Blood Emperor, Allen followed him to a luxurious room with a balcony and fountain.

The tables in the room are not only filled with a variety of food and drinks, but there are also several beautiful women in tulle standing aside to provide a series of services including massage, feeding, etc.

Gilknife was undoubtedly an experienced driver. He walked directly to the position that belonged to him, lay flat on the woman's soft breasts, then opened his mouth and ate a grape peeled by another woman. One hand even touched the other person's thigh dishonestly.

Just when the other two women came over and wanted to do the same thing, Allen immediately raised his hand to stop him: I don't have to! Thank you!

Oh? Don't these suit your taste? It doesn't matter, I can change a batch for you.

As he spoke, the Blood Emperor picked up the bell in his hand that was used to summon his servants.

But before he could shake it, Allen shook his head in confusion and explained: No, it's not about taste, it's about not being used to strangers being too close to me.

Even beautiful women? Gilknife raised his eyebrows in surprise.

That's right! This has nothing to do with men and women. It's purely a habit. Compared to this, shouldn't your attention be on more important things? Allen blinked meaningfully.

Ah! That's right! You can talk about those two conditions now.

As soon as business came up, the Blood Emperor immediately stopped all his frivolous actions and quickly sat up and assumed the role of the emperor.

There is no doubt that this is an outstanding ruler who can completely separate pleasure and work and always keep a clear mind.

Article 1, to ensure the safety of these technologies, we must not leak anything to the aliens and monsters. If any country or force established by the aliens controls part of it, it must be destroyed at all costs, even if it is a A genocidal massacre was not spared.

When saying these words, Allen's expression was particularly solemn and serious.

After all, humans are far from making up the majority in this world, and both land and population are far inferior to the countries established by several powerful alien races in the center of the continent.

Therefore, in the initial stage of the industry, it is necessary to establish advantages through confidentiality until the opponent is completely crushed.

No problem! As the emperor of the empire! I am here to promise the Hunter Association that we will never let aliens and monsters steal any technology from here. The Blood Emperor agreed without even thinking.

Not to mention aliens and monsters!

He doesn't even want to provide these technologies to other human countries. It's best to have them mastered by himself.

But this idea is obviously unrealistic.

In any case, the Kingdoms and Theocracy of the Triple Alliance will definitely get it sooner or later.

The only advantage of the empire is that it accepts and advances very quickly.

Unlike the Theocracy, which always hesitates between magic and firearms.

Although a large number of muskets have been equipped, they have not been used in actual combat.

Many traditional commanders still have doubts about this new weapon.

As for the kingdom, although it is rapidly improving under Arturia's governance, it will still take quite a long time to catch up with the pace of the empire's development.

Allen had long seen through Gilknife's little calculation, smiled indifferently, and continued to say: The second one is related to the war!

War? An expression of interest instantly appeared on the Blood Emperor's face.

Yes! War! I believe you should have heard about the association's recent actions in the demihuman tribe wasteland. Right now, the King of the Immortal who calls himself Ainz Ooal Gown has been forced to continue to advance towards the border of the Holy Kingdom. I need You immediately assemble the maximum number of troops to bring this operation to a perfect conclusion.

You don't need to ask to know that this is the real purpose of Allen's trip.

Although the Fourth Natural Disaster cultivated by the association has made Old Bones feel fearful and timid, it is not enough.

He still wants to make up for the last blow!

How many troops do you need? The Blood Emperor narrowed his eyes and asked.

It can be said that he is quite concerned about the battle that is breaking out in the vast wilderness to the south of the kingdom. He even asked the Hunter Association for a large number of battle impact records to understand how terrifying the force calling itself Nazarick is.

If the empire were to face it on its own, he would definitely get away as far as he could, and would not dare to make fun of the fate of the entire country.

But if it is led by the Hunters Association, that is another matter.

Eighty thousand! At least 80,000 professional troops! In return, I will provide the empire with some special weapons for free, heavy weapons that surpass muskets and artillery. Allen pursed his lips with a malicious smile.

A weapon beyond muskets and artillery?! Gilknife's eyes began to shine.

Without saying a word, Allen directly used magic to create several virtual projections of the highest crystallizations of Azeroth's engineering out of thin air.

He first pointed at one of the steel behemoths and introduced: Steam tank! A mobile firepower point with extremely thick protection capabilities. It is equipped with a super-large-caliber artillery, which can not only shoot at the enemy, but also use powerful power to The system directly rams, crushing opponents with wheels and tracks. I can provide you with fifty! Imagine your soldiers driving it side by side and rushing towards the enemy! Heavy cavalry will be crushed in a few minutes in front of a steam tank !”

Great! Great! With such a weapon! Even if that guy named Ainz Ooal Gown can summon an army of 100,000 undead, there is nothing to be afraid of!

The Blood Emperor pushed the woman beside him away and walked straight to the steam tank, carefully observing the details of the steel behemoth.

Having decided to embrace the Science and Machine God religion, he directly proved with actual actions that compared to women who only think of women when they have physiological impulses and needs, weapons and machinery are the favorites engraved in men's genes.

Don't worry, there are more interesting things later. For example, this.

Allen pointed to the tall giant steel puppet next to the steam tank.

X6 type automatic combat puppet! Not only can it use artillery and firearms for long-range attacks, but it can also use giant melee weapons to sweep across enemies. It is definitely a good thing for attacking fortresses and covering musketeers. However, considering the relatively expensive cost, I We can only provide you with fifteen units. In addition, there are fifty thousand muskets, eight hundred cannons, and an unlimited supply of various bullets, shells, and gunpowder.

Please give me five days! After five days, I guarantee that there will be an 80,000-strong army waiting for your orders.

After hearing how many benefits could be gained, the Blood Emperor's breathing became rapid, and at the same time he was secretly shocked by the technical strength shown by Allen.

In particular, steam tanks and automatic combat puppets have clearly exceeded the limits of what this world's technology can achieve.

Even the best dwarf craftsmen would find it difficult to create those complex gears that look rough but actually fit perfectly.
