Blessing from the goddess at the beginning, technology VS magic

The sun breaks through the thick clouds, and the sunlight shines on the ground again. Winter is finally over. After a round of cold winter, the goblins are freezing to death and starving to death. The overall threats are much less now. A-1 was also sealed by Red, and the external excuse was: the holy beast needed to rest. There will be more and more people in the future, and it's hard for him to explain this to people now. In addition, he wants to train the Nirvana Army more and let them defend this town.

Rhett is also about to start preparing to officially develop agriculture, and food is no longer available.

He thought about using creative magic to directly create the seeds of already cultivated high-yielding crops, but found that it didn't work. The seeds created only had an appearance, that is to say, the seeds created were dead seeds. He had no choice but to let farmers save their own seeds and then teach them how to cultivate improved seeds.

In order to fulfill Kanter's promise and to gain a large population, he decided to launch an attack on Vic City and take back this human city. Just as we were about to set off, someone came to report in a hurry.

"Sorry, Your Highness, we found a closed gold mine, but the gold mine seems to be cursed. Someone tried to see if it was real gold, but he bit it with his mouth, and he fell ill soon after!"

Looks like a gold mine but is also poisonous? Could it be pyrite? If so, that would be great. You can finally prepare sulfur, and you don’t have to rub black powder with your own hands.

"Don't worry, take me to see the sick person. The Nirvana Army will be on standby for now."

Then Rhett looked at the condition of these people and saw that it was indeed pyrite. After giving him some medicine, he said to Monroe: "Let's not take back Vic City yet. Let's go to the cursed gold mine."

Monroe didn't understand how someone could be so happy even though they were cursed. But after such a long period of training, he didn't say anything and just replied: "Yes, Your Highness."

"By the way, call Scott over and take him with you."

They came to the "cursed gold mine". After a while of analysis, Rhett determined that it was pyrite.

"Your Highness, is this pyrite?"

"That's right, now we can finally make gunpowder on a large scale."

Monroe asked doubtfully: "Gunpowder? Isn't that what we used before?"

"That was my previous inventory, but now there is not much left. If I can no longer prepare gunpowder, the guns you have will really become fire sticks."

"No wonder His Highness is so happy, hahaha"

Let's send people to start work tomorrow. Today we'll first clean up the goblins around us.

After hearing this, Kanter mocked: "Humph, we agreed to take back a city today, but now we are going to get alchemy materials."

"If you don't want to make alchemy materials, do you have the sword in your hand? Do you have the musket and gunpowder?"

Kanter was speechless. At this moment, the roar of soldiers came from not far away.

"Did something happen? Let's go and take a look."

the other side

"Stop! Who are you and what are you doing sneakily?" a soldier asked.

"Hey, there are still people here. I thought they were all eaten by goblins."

This man was wearing a black cloak, and his other hand was flashing black lightning. There were two stone trolls behind him carrying a strange black stone pillar. At first glance, he was a magician. He looked at the hands of these people with disdain. The fire stick he was holding was not even wearing any armor, so he thought he was a farmer who had survived by chance.

Then, more and more people were around, and Rhett also rushed here. Looking at the decorations of the people in front of him, he felt like he had seen them before somewhere. Then the man looked at Kanter.

"No wonder I survived. It turns out there is a knight."

When Kanter saw it, his eyes widened and he said, "You are a cultist!"

When I said this, I remembered that when I went to the academy for the first time about four years ago, a man in black robes popped out on the road.

Kanter slashed at the cultist without saying a word, but the stone troll behind also inserted the stone pillar into the ground. The stone pillar emitted powerful black lightning, and no one around him could get close, and Kanter was forced back. For a moment, Rhett saw clearly that the man had two petals on his hand. He seemed to be a little more talented than the man he met four years ago.

"You can only consider yourself unlucky today! Hahaha, this is the Ten Thousand Demonic Pillar made by the Chief Instructor himself. It can not only control more monsters, provide more black magic power, but also has very powerful attack power."

After saying that, he controlled the Ten Thousand Demonic Pillar to attack. Several black lightning struck at Red and the others. Kanter pushed Red away, and the remaining lightning hit several soldiers and burned them to ashes instantly.

Rhett looked terrified and almost died just now. Kanter pushed Red away and rushed towards the cultists without hesitation, but was blocked by two stone trolls. How could a senior knight be blocked so easily? He directly split the stone trolls with two swords, and his whole body was filled with fighting spirit.

The cultist hurriedly dodged to the side. Unfortunately, Kanter's target was not him, but the Ten Thousand Demonic Pillar behind him. However, this blow did not destroy the Ten Thousand Demonic Pillar. At the moment of contact, the magic shield of Ten Thousand Demonic Pillars first became dim, and then became bright again.

"Thanks for charging my Ten Thousand Demonic Pillars, hahaha"

"Damn, I should have used all my strength just now."

"It's a pity that you don't have this chance!"

After absorbing the magic power, the plants under the Ten Thousand Demonic Pillars began to wither, and then a black gas emerged. Lightning began to condense on the top of the Ten Thousand Demonic Pillars again, preparing to launch the next strike.

"Fire!"

Red gave an order, and the surrounding Nirvana troops fired volleys at the black stone pillar. A complete physical attack, with no magic power to absorb, the shield of the Ten Thousand Demonic Pillars dimmed, and they had to stop attacking and use the shield function.

"how so!"

"Mr. Kanter, what are you waiting for? Just destroy that pillar!"

Kanter didn't waste any time, and rushed forward with a single lunge. All his fighting energy was concentrated on the sword, and the shield was overloaded before it could be absorbed and burst.

Then the nano-ceramic sword directly cut off the Ten Thousand Demonic Pillars, and a smooth cross section could be seen in the mirror.

"This... this is impossible. The sticks in these people's hands are magic weapons? No, then why didn't they absorb magic? What on earth is going on!"

"There are still many things you don't know," Kanter said, about to kill him.

"Wait a minute! Just destroy his ability to move and take him back for interrogation."

Then he looked at the soldiers who had turned into gray.

"The matter of several human lives cannot be settled so easily. Their parents must be given an explanation."

"Ahhhhh~"

The cultist screamed in pain before being dragged back and locked in a cell.

The cell was built after the last time the nobles made trouble. Rhett felt that it would be impossible without a cell. There must be punishment, which can be regarded as a deterrent, but this is the first time this cell has been used.

At the same time, Rhett also had a sense of crisis. He originally thought that the church would solve things like cultists, and that the invasion of Warcraft was just a coincidence. Now it seems that everything was done deliberately. The power of muskets is no longer enough to deal with these magic shields, and intermediate monsters with high armor cannot be dealt with, such as the stone troll this time.

He needed a more powerful weapon - artillery.
