Continental Warriors Yoo Ma

"This is a Colt M1873 revolver, nicknamed 'Peacemaker'. Of course, you may not understand the specific meaning of this model, so just call it a revolver."

Ma Youfu handed Valentina a gleaming silver firearm, along with four boxes of 120 rounds of ammunition.

His ability to cast spells is constantly improving, and his professional skills as an artificer are also becoming more and more proficient.

Integrating nano-divine power into magic power, Ma Youfu's accuracy in making items has been greatly improved when operating the magical staff, and he can perform many complex operations that were not possible before.

He even felt that he was now a human machine with multiple functions of turning, milling, boring, planing, grinding and drilling.

After several experiments, Ma Youfu successfully imitated this 19th-century technology revolver that was originally only available in system stores.

"Ah, what a beautiful and dangerous weapon. Your whimsy is really amazing. When the armies of other countries are still using muskets, you have made such a gunpowder weapon that looks like a work of art. I Look, even the undead pirates from another world don't have such advanced firearms." Valentina praised.

"It's a pity that it is still in the handicraft stage. Only elite artificers like me can make it, and it cannot be popularized on a large scale."

While playing with the pistol, Valentina said with a playful tone: "Although it cannot be popularized on a large scale, I believe that this weapon called a revolver is not the only one in my hand. Let me guess... ...Miss Saintess who is far away in Italy must have one on hand, right?"

"And it's still the original one." Ma Youfu added silently.

Seeing that Ma Youfu acquiesced, Valentina counted with her fingers: "In addition to Miss Saintess, the Duchess in Provence should also have one. The situation she faces is still complicated, and there are still corrupt evil spirits lurking around her." Believer. It is impossible for a lady friend like you not to make arrangements."

Ma Youfu gave Valentina a thumbs up.

"So, the weapon in my hand is at best the third... This fact makes people a little happy and a little jealous. But at least, I am better than many of your lovers, even the Burgundy princess. Your Highness, get this 'Love Token' first."

Although Ma Youfu knew that the other party's appearance had been covered by magic, even so, that coquettish and angry posture still touched his heartstrings like a gentle little hand.

"First of all, this is not a token of love. Second, I am giving you this pistol only because the situation in Tunisia is very complicated. Didn't you say that the Sultan of Tunisia has an alchemist consultant next to him, and there is a big problem , maybe even a believer of corrupting evil gods?"

The minions of the evil god of corruption appeared one after another, and Ma Youfu didn't think it was a coincidence.Although the Crusaders are fighting fiercely now, we need to pay attention to this aspect.

But I just don’t know if the Mulhollan Church has institutions similar to the Judgment Chamber and the Purification Chamber, which can deal with the threat of evil gods.

"Okay, my lord, don't give such a serious explanation. Now, can you teach me how to use this weapon?"

"Of course." Ma Youfu immediately agreed to the invitation.

At this time, the two had been in the reception room for more than an hour.After Margaret was busy with the promotion of sugar cane planting today, she decided to take a look at Ma Youfu's situation, and went to test the quality of the new Miss Valentina.

The Countess of Tangier always liked to plan for a rainy day.In case that Miss Valentina will become his "stick sister" in the future, it is always good to know her personality in advance.

The door of the reception room was not closed, leaving a palm-wide gap.When Margaret walked to the door, she looked in and saw Mayouf holding Valentina in his arms.

It's just that on closer inspection, the two sides are not making out.Ma Youfu is teaching the other party to use some kind of strange weapon.

Ma Youfu put his left arm around Valentina's waist, and his right hand supported the other's arm holding the gun, and put his mouth close to his ear, saying something like "three points and one line aiming", which Margaret couldn't understand terms of.

Although this is indeed a "teaching job", the two are so close to each other and their gestures are so intimate, it is inevitable to make people think about it.

Margaret noticed that Miss Valentina, from her fair neck to her delicate earlobes, had turned an attractive pink.

This is not shyness, but some kind of physical reaction.Margaret herself was familiar with it.

The experienced countess believed that the man's hand would gradually move up next, to fully experience the feeling of being unable to grasp it with one hand.Then, the two of them will fall to the ground...

She even began to hesitate, whether she should quietly close the door and leave, or go in and join, and gain a good friend who has fought side by side?

But what surprised Margaret was that after Ma Youfu handed over the method of using the pistol to Valentina carefully, he let go of it.

"Among these bullets, there are sixty ordinary bullets with no markings on the bullets. You can use them for shooting practice. The remaining bullets include flame bullets with red markings and frost bullets with blue markings. There are lightning bombs marked in yellow, acid bombs marked in green, and force field bombs marked in purple. You can use them according to different occasions. In addition to the destructive power of each bullet, its enchantment The power is equivalent to a one-level spell that has been amplified by 'Spell Empowerment'. In a critical moment, this ability, which is equivalent to instantly casting six three-level spells, should be able to reverse the situation."

"I understand. But my lord, why did you stop just now? I can feel that when you hugged me from behind, your desire is constantly accumulating. You should know that since I took the initiative to kiss you last time, I In fact, I will not refuse."

"Let's wait until we have established enough trust. You have too many secrets, Valentina. And to this day, you haven't shown your true colors to me."

"That's it. Then you can continue to wait, maybe one day, I will show everything about myself to you without reservation. Then, let's say goodbye, my lord. I hope we will meet again in Tunisia." Valentina There are complex emotions in his words.

After the conversation between the two parties was over, Margaret quickly stepped back a few steps, acting as if she had just arrived at the door.

After Valentina opened the door and came out, she happened to meet her.

The two greeted each other with a smile.

"Hello, you must be the Countess of Tangier. Whenever the Duke of Bar mentions you, he will have a sweet smile on his face. With you by his side, his life must be happier."

"Thank you for your compliment." Margaret replied, "I think you are Miss Valentina who travels back and forth for the Duke. Nice to meet you."

After a brief greeting, the two bid farewell and separated.

Margaret looked at Valentina's figure walking farther and farther in the corridor, thinking.

"Honey, what are you doing at the door?" Seeing Margaret standing outside the reception room, Ma Youfu went up and hugged her.

"I was looking at Mademoiselle Valentina. I always thought she was a bit like Vera."

"Vera? Why don't I think so?" Ma Youfu buried his head on the back of the lady's neck and took a deep breath.The desire he had been aroused just now was like a flood overflowing, in urgent need of a channel to be released.

"Although we have all seen Vera's naked appearance, your eyes are blinded by greed and desire, but I can appreciate the body of the same sex in a more calm and objective form, and naturally I can see many of them. Details you can't discover."

"Well, I did hear from Vera that she has a sister. And Vera asked me to help her find that sister..." Ma Youfu's heart moved.

It's just that this kind of thing is not as attractive as the tender and plump lady in front of him. He temporarily put aside everything, pulled Margaret into the room, and locked the door...

Chapter 460 Eight Ancient Empire

After Valentina left, Ma Youfu still spent his daily life studying magic in the morning, handling official business in the afternoon, writing novels in the evening, and having fun with his mistress.

Until one day, he received news that a small Venetian fleet consisting of two galley warships and three transport ships was defeated by the Mulholland fleet in the waters east of the island of Malta, sinking one and capturing four. .

Judging from the scale, this is just a small failure in a naval battle, which cannot affect the overall situation.The size of the navies of both sides is more than [-] ships, so what is the loss of five ships?

But Ma Youfu noticed the change in the battle situation.The Mulholland Fleet, which has been doing nothing for the past few months, is likely to start seizing sea dominance along the eastern coast of the Maghreb.

Ma Youfu had heard the current Governor of Genoa, Rinaldo, mention his previous experience of returning to Genoa from buying grain from Egypt.On the way, he encountered an attack from the Mulholland fleet. The accuracy of the opponent's artillery under the blessing of the prophecy spell was impressive.

If there is no spellcaster who can match it in the Venice fleet, it will probably suffer.

At that time, due to the attack on the sea line of communication, there will inevitably be problems with the supplies of the Eastern Crusaders, and the battle situation will also take a turn for the worse.Now that he is in high spirits, Sigismund, who is about to come to the city of Tunisia, may not have a good day for a few days.

Ma Youfu realized that it was time to end the sit-in war on the Western Front.

However, unlike the Europeans who are full of fanatical religious thoughts, although Ma Youfu was the first to advocate this crusade, he is not keen on fighting to the death with the Mulhollan believers.

Because Ma Youfu has long seen that there are many contradictions within the two camps, and each side has its own essence of careful thinking, so he has long established a policy of emphasizing both diplomacy and military affairs.

To take action now, it is not necessary to fight a war.Ma Youfu felt that he could try to send an envoy to talk with Prince Ottoman and General Mamluk to see if everyone could reach an agreement in private to get what they needed.

So, the next morning, a team of envoys carrying the flag of the Duke of Bar set out from the Port of Oran and traveled eastward along the coast. It took a whole day to arrive at Mustaganem.

This envoy, fifty in number, was headed by Bernard de Chamblonde.

This young talent, who was nicknamed "San Dezi" by Ma Youfu, was born in a knight family. He was the third son in the family.After graduating from the University of Bologna, he entered the church and became Juvenir's assistant.Later, because of his outstanding performance, he was promoted all the way, and was finally recommended by Zhu Wennier to Ma Youfu.

Bernard has been working as the "chief secretary" for Ma Youfu, assisting him in handling various official duties.Especially after Vera was appointed as the chairman of the "Maghreb Development and Reform Commission", Bernard took over all the work of the former secretary - except of course the work at night.

In view of the fact that when Ma Youfu was in Provence, Bernard was often responsible for the diplomatic affairs of Rouen, and he received many visiting nobles from various countries for Ma Youfu, so this time, Ma Youfu also entrusted him with important diplomatic tasks.

Bernard is not only proficient in law, but also has a good eloquence during college, and his rhetoric scores are very good. He has traveled in prosperous Italy and dealt with business Mulhollands.

Ma Youfu, who is in Oran, is the only talent around him, and he is the most suitable for this diplomatic job.

Marshal Richmond, who was stationed in Mustaganem, had a special meeting with Bernard.

After the latter presented the two bottles of good Porto wine brought by Ma Youfu, Marshal Richmond immediately smiled.He's good at everything in Mustaganem, just kind of boring.This small city is well-defended, and there are [-] defenders. The Mamluks have no intention of attacking at all.

For this reason, Marshal Richmond sighed every day, muttering, "If there is no war, Tunisia will be captured by the German barbarians."Now that he has two bottles of good wine from the Duke of Barr, the resentment in his heart is finally much less.

Seeing Marshal Richmond's stretched brows, Bernard breathed a sigh of relief, and asked while the iron was hot, if there was anything he needed to pay attention to when he was going to negotiate with the Mulhollands.

"It's my first time in the Maghreb, and I don't have as much experience with the Mulhollans as you. I can't even tell the difference between the Bedouins and the Berbers. In fact, if it weren't for the Duke of Bar My lord has explained the world of Mulholland to us generals, and I still call all those turbaned men Saracens."

Bernard smiled wryly.

Marshal Richmond, who was born in Brittany, spoke a lot in French with a thick accent and no sense of courtly elegance.Then, he patted his forehead suddenly, and suddenly said: "By the way, a strange thing happened the night before yesterday."

"What's weird?"

"A ten-man team guarding the east wall had a camp bombing accident. Two soldiers claimed to have heard the roar of a dragon, and they ran around in fright and shouted. In a panic, a crossbowman fell from the wall and smashed It became a meatloaf. I personally interrogated the two soldiers the next day. Although they were whipped like a piece of rotten pork, they also insisted that they heard the roar of the dragon, and even swore an oath in front of the statue of the Seven Saints. Not lying."

"Master Marshal, do you think they are not lying?"

"It doesn't look like it. It's just two soldiers who came from peasants in the countryside. How could they know what a dragon's roar is. So I don't think there are dragons, but there are probably some kind of huge creatures." Rish Marshal Meng squinted his eyes, which had witnessed countless fights, "And I have reason to believe that this huge creature exists in Mulholland's barracks, and it is the enemy's secret weapon against us!"

"Thank you for your reminder, Marshal. When I go to negotiate with the enemy, I will pay more attention to this information and try to find traces of that mysterious creature." Bernard nodded.

"I'll let Santleye protect you." Marshal Richmond patted Bernard on the shoulder.

In this crusade to the south, France also sent out elite generals.In addition to Marshal Richmond, Dunoy, who is good at defensive warfare, and La Haile and Santreyer, two of the best warriors in France, also went to the battle.

Now Dunoit and Torres under Mayouf are defending the city of Mohammedia at the foot of the Atlas Mountains.And Lahaire and Santleyer played beside Marshal Richmond.

Rachel, who has a bad temper and a rough mind, is obviously not suitable for diplomatic work, so Richmond sent Santleyer to Bernard.In case of danger, with Santleyer's strength, Bernard can escape back.

The next morning, after bidding farewell to Marshal Richmond, the number of envoys became 51. After leaving the city, they continued eastward with a white flag, and were soon discovered by a patrolling Mamluk cavalry.

After Bernard communicated his intention in Arabic, he was led back to the camp by the Mamluk cavalry.

In the luxury tent, Bernard met Mustaine, the general who commanded the Mamluk army.

What is surprising is that the other party is actually an orc.

It's just that, unlike the black orcs brought to Paris by the Portuguese to participate in the Hundred Years' War, the orcs in front of Bernard's eyes were much lighter-skinned, showing a unique brown color. Features such as fangs should be diluted a lot.

This must be a man of culture.

The first impression came into Bernard's mind.

Mustain noticed the doubt in the other party's eyes, and took the initiative to explain: "I come from the plateau on the upper reaches of the Nile River. My ethnic group is called Highland Orcs. I am the same as those greenskins who live in the jungle and plains, and those who are polluted by evil forces. The black-skinned beastmen are different from the same kind. We highland orcs are a civilized race with a very long history, even dating back to 1000 BC..."

Mustain said that he came from an ancient empire called "Ethiopia" and also believed in the Seven Saints, but the sect was very different from the Seven Saints.Now the empire has long since declined and split, unable to protect its own people.Mustain was just a herdsman grazing cattle on the border when he was a child. He was easily captured by slave traders and sold to the north of Egypt.

In the end, he succeeded from an ordinary slave soldier to a high-ranking Mamluk nobleman by virtue of his physique far stronger than that of a human and his brain far stronger than that of an orc.

After hearing Mustaine's introduction, Bernard was very surprised.

When he was chatting with the Duke of Baal before, he had heard the other party mention that the so-called legend of King John was simply nonsense, and it was a falsehood of travellers' knowledge of the Seven Holy Kingdom in southern Egypt.That is actually just an African country called Ethiopia.The residents are all orcs. Although they believe in the Seven Saints and have a long history, their power is not strong now.

If the Europeans expect to flank the Mulhollans back and forth with them, they will be disappointed.

Ma Youfu no longer needs to rely on his identity as a "mysterious visitor from the East" to bluff and deceive. When he is in a good mood, he will casually give the Europeans some knowledge of geography.Lest there be any fools who try to venture east on a vain legend about King John and end up dying for nothing.

"What the Duke said is actually right! The knowledge of the people of Siris is far better than that of closed Europe." Bernard sighed in his heart, and at the same time felt very guilty for doubting the Duke's remarks.

After a brief moment of astonishment when the legend of King John was shattered, Bernard began to perform his duties as a diplomat.He first presented Mustaine with a sweet gift—ten cans of maltose and a box of white sugar, and then explained why he came.

Mustaine made a haha ​​and said: "We will talk about the important matters of the war situation at the welcome banquet in the evening. Dear envoy, you can take a good rest first. It has just entered September and the weather is still hot. You came from Oran After traveling all the way, I must be tired, thirsty and hungry.”

Bernard had to agree.
