Chapter 440: Speculations about the War of Roses

Ethan closely watched the development of the Rose Civil War. He not only sent intelligence personnel, but also sent out extraordinary eagles. Even on the battle line of hundreds of miles, black snake tattoos appeared in hidden corners everywhere.

This was the first time that Ethan observed a large-scale human war up close.

In the past, he always thought that the war in the cold weapon era should be tens of thousands of people gathered in one place, and then rushed against each other until the last person of the other side was killed.

But the result surprised him. There was no picture of tens of thousands of people rushing against each other on TV.

There were only dozens to hundreds of combat teams, interspersed and infiltrated with each other.

The largest number of people was only a few thousand, and that time, the two sides did not have direct contact, but just shot at each other with magic bullets or strong crossbows at a long distance.

The two sides seemed to have fought fiercely for a day, and the battlefield was full of fire and smoke, but when you look at the casualties.

My goodness, the total number of casualties on both sides was less than 20.

And most of these 20 people were courting death, and they had to be exposed outside the fortifications, and then they happened to be hit by the gravel blown up by the magic bullets.

One person was even frightened to death.

However, although there was no close combat and no casualties on the front battlefield of thousands of people, the interspersed teams of dozens to hundreds of people were completely different.

Most of them were composed of cavalry and magicians, or infantry and magicians, with the purpose of occupying some important places.

For example, bridges, small villages on supply routes, etc.

Once they encountered each other, they would fight head-on.

Cavalry charging, magicians bombarding, infantry shooting arrows or close combat, they often had to kill the other side before stopping, so small-scale encounters were heavy in casualties.

This made Ethan speechless. He didn't know whether all wars were like this, or only the civil war of the Rose Family was like this.

However, he knew very well that no matter what scale of battle, magicians were the protagonists on the battlefield.

Those cavalry and infantry were mostly there to protect their existence, and they only did one thing, that is, to use magic for long-range attacks.

After watching their war, Ethan suddenly realized that the [Pyroblast Cannon] with its super long range and super powerful power seemed to have the ability to change the direction of the war.

And if Ethan could realize it, others could naturally do so too.

In fact, people like Lyon and Charlton had long realized the role of the [Pyroblast Cannon].

Therefore, since the birth of the [Pyroblast Cannon], they have been constantly asking Ethan to buy it, and even the price is up to Ethan.

The reason is that they also want to establish a maritime fleet and join the ranks of defending the maritime rights and interests of Maro City.

Considering safety reasons, Ethan has never agreed.

Now that I have seen the real war, I am even more fortunate that I did not agree to them in a rush.

Otherwise, if I really sold it to them, who knows if they would really install it on the ship.

If there is a conflict in Maro City, they will move the cannon to the land and suddenly give you a pyroblast, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Moreover, the current [Pyroblast Cannon] has evolved to the third generation, and that group of crazy magicians has developed a new spiral acceleration phase magnetic inscription.

With the blessing of this new acceleration inscription, the fire explosion has its own rotation, not only the effective range reaches an astonishing 10,000 meters, but also the accuracy is greatly improved.

And I don't know whether it is because of the faster initial speed or the rotation, the explosion power of the fire explosion has also increased a lot, and the direct killing radius is close to 150 meters.

This is equivalent to the power of the 1.5-ton BLU-82 cloud bomb in the previous life.

You must know that to drop this kind of cloud bomb, the aircraft must be kept at an altitude of at least 2,000 meters, otherwise the shock wave generated by the explosion of the bomb after dropping it is likely to shake the aircraft down.

From this, we can also guess how terrifying the power of the [Fire Burst Cannon] is now.

Ethan felt it necessary to add a layer of safety device to the [Fire Burst Cannon] to prevent it from falling into the hands of the enemy.

As for people like Lyon who want to buy it, that will never be possible.

However, although it cannot be sold to Lyon and others, some people want to buy it, which makes Ethan feel troubled.

Yes, that person is the Grand Duke of the North.

Nolan, that kid, didn't know where he got to know that Ethan had this killer weapon, so he kept urging the Duke of the North to buy it.

For this reason, Nolan went to Ethan almost every day.

And the Duke of the North had contacted Ethan several times in person.

Every time, he stood on the moral high ground, hoping that Ethan would sell the [Fire Blast Cannon] to the North for the sake of human safety.

As for the price, since the Duke of the North didn't know the cost of the [Fire Blast Cannon], he offered a high price of 180,000 gold per cannon.

You know, the total cost of research and development of the [Fire Blast Cannon] is only about 500,000 gold.

The cost of making a [Fire Blast Cannon] is about 30,000 gold, and the specific price depends on the fluctuation of magic materials.

Of course, this cost is based on the salary of the legendary engraver not counting the salary of the legendary engraver.

If this salary is added, the research and development and manufacturing costs will almost triple.

In other words, if Ethan agrees to sell, at the price given by the North, and the possible purchase quantity

Even if the cost triples, he can recover it immediately and make a lot of money.

At the same time, he can also gain a good reputation for making outstanding contributions to human affairs and leave a strong mark in history books.

Although selling the [Pyroblast Cannon] would bring both fame and fortune, Ethan had many concerns.

In his heart, he intended to facilitate this deal, after all, the North used it to deal with the orcs.

But he knew very well that once the [Pyroblast Cannon] was really sold to the North, it would completely liberate the North's war capabilities.

And once they remove the shackles tied to them, all mankind is likely to move from external wars to the quagmire of internal wars.

This can be seen from the fact that the North dared to attack the Aslan Empire for nearly a thousand miles after slightly liberating its war capabilities.

The resentment of the North towards other regions is too deep.

And the Duke family of the North also feels that they owe the people too much.

Once they have the opportunity to get rid of the shackles of the orcs, they will definitely release all the resentment accumulated over hundreds of years.

And with the combat effectiveness of the North, plus the [Pyroblast Cannon], who in this world can compete with them.

By then, the whole world will crawl at the feet of the Grand Duke of the North.

If that time really comes, Maro City will naturally be no exception, and may even be worse off than others.

As for why Maro City will be worse off, just look at the Rose Family.

They provided great help to the establishment of the Holy Empire.

Logically, the first people to be grateful to after the establishment of the Holy Empire are them.

But in fact, after the establishment of the Holy Empire, the first thing it did was to deal with them.

The reason has been mentioned, so I won’t go into details.

And their experience is the same for Maro City and Ethan.

This is the world. The greater the merit, the more people are afraid of it.

Ethan doesn’t want to get into trouble.
