Otherworldly Lord

After the wooden spear incident, Song Mo learned that due to their lack of strength, dwarves almost use wood to make anything.

strike iron?

Excuse me, look at their small bodies, can they swing a hammer?

dwarf?

The guy whose neck is as thick as his head and whose arms are thicker than a dwarf's thigh is completely different from a dwarf.

Song Mo and the old dwarf explained that steel is used to make guns, not wood. The old dwarf nodded and expressed his understanding, "If your blacksmith can provide materials and make molds according to my requirements, there may be a way to make the guns you want. gun."

The old dwarf and Song Mo went to the workshops of some of Ed's blacksmiths.After walking around, the dwarf shook his head.

Ed, Sam, Hassan, the workshops of the three blacksmiths could not produce steel suitable for making rifles.They are still using the most primitive forging, and they don't even know how to pour steel, let alone seamless steel pipes, and they can't make plates.

Song Mo knew the general idea of ​​pouring steel, but he didn't know the ratio of pig iron and wrought iron, and he couldn't figure it out when he was scratching his head. Originally, the price of iron ore was not cheap, and Song Mo couldn't just waste it.

"Perhaps only the dwarves can provide the materials you need."

The old dwarves are not aimless. The ability of dwarves to build weapons is as famous as their ability to mine ore. The foundation of making a good weapon is good materials.

"The weapons made by the dwarves are the best in the whole continent."

This sentence also shows that the dwarves' iron and steel smelting technology is also the best in the whole continent.

"Is there no other way?"

"No."

The old dwarf took his work very seriously. Since Song Mo was not satisfied with the wooden gun he made and wanted to make a steel gun, he had to provide the best solution.

"My lord, this is the only way at present."

the only way?

Everyone in the continent knows that hiring dwarves to make weapons and armor is not cheap.

It's no wonder that on the Bright Continent, only rich and oily countries can arm a strong army, walk sideways wherever they go, and destroy anyone who doesn't like it.It's true that the rich sweep the world, but the poor shrink in the corner.

People can wear iron sheets and steel tiles on their bodies, but he doesn't even have the materials to make a rifle.If things go on like this, it's hard to guarantee that Pan Wei and his ilk will call Gerryland's attention again. His manpower is simply not enough.

Cyvans?

It's fine if he doesn't take the opportunity to step on it.The contract didn't stipulate that he couldn't take advantage of the fire.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was useless. Song Mo couldn't help but tugged on the butler's sleeve, wiped away his tears, and wanted to continue wiping his nose, but he didn't dare.

"Housekeeper, I'm so anxious..."

"My lord, which language are you speaking?"

"Bright Continental Language."

"..."

The attempt to make a hot weapon failed, and Song Mo was a little sluggish. The goblins realized that the lord was in a bad mood recently, and they hid underground all day long, and did not show up in front of Song Mo when they were killed.The gnomes gradually began to walk around the territory. When they saw the people repairing their houses and farm tools, they suggested ideas and helped them a little, and quickly won the favor of most of the people.

The goblins hid in the ground biting their small handkerchiefs, envious and jealous, but there was nothing they could do. Who let them lose at the starting line?

The old dwarf wanted to take back the wooden gun that indirectly poked Song Mo's self-esteem, but Song Mo didn't agree. Although this wooden gun has no practical use, it was assembled part by part according to the drawings of Mauser 98, even if it was hung on the wall It is also a good decoration.want to?Okay, wait until the real Mauser 98 is made.Now, just treat him as an eye-addiction.

The lord is so indifferent, the old dwarf has a deep understanding.

Fortunately, Song Mo's depression didn't last long. Rhodes came again and helped Song Mo solve the problem.This time, he not only brought the ore that Song Mo needed, but also sent two dwarves to Song Mo.

"This is Josan and Mosby."

Rhode briefly introduced to Song Mo two equally strong bearded dwarves.They are brothers and skilled blacksmiths.Because he offended the dignitaries among the dwarves, he is being hunted down.Knowing that Lord Gerryland was recruiting manpower, he came here with Rhodes.Although Song Mo was drooling after listening to Rhode's introduction, he decided to be more cautious.

Offended the powerful and was hunted down?The rich and powerful are also divided into three, six, and nine grades. Which one is it?Don't be a great white shark.

"Can you tell me, who did they offend?"

"Handchuk."

"What does this Handchuk do?"

"Grand Duke. The dwarves have no king. Nine grand dukes are in charge of the affairs of the whole clan. Grand Duke Handchuk is the most powerful of them all. He has a fiery temper and will exact revenge."

Well, not even a shark, a whole killer whale!

"Because they offended Grand Duke Handchuk, most of the races that have good relations with dwarves are unwilling to take them in. Even human countries are unwilling to take the risk of offending the Grand Duke for the sake of two blacksmiths."

"They can go into the mountains and be savages."

"The mountains are full of ferocious beasts. They tried it once, and it almost became the dessert of Munk Snake."

"What did they do to make the Grand Duke so resentful?"

"They sold weapons to hostile races of the dwarves and evaded taxes."

Josan and Mosby kept silent, but when Rhodes said this, they immediately defended loudly: "We didn't know that guy turned out to be a demon! Even the Grand Duke himself, it is impossible to think that he has pretended at a glance. Demon Race!"

"But it's an indisputable fact that you evaded taxes, right?"

The two dwarves immediately fell silent, and muttered unwillingly: "It's just this year, I paid taxes before..."

Song Mo rubbed his chin and thought for a while. He always felt that tax evasion was the main reason why the Grand Duke chased and killed the two dwarves.Shaking his head, how could he judge everyone by himself?No, this is too bad.

But get him these two guys... Song Mo glanced at Rhodes, silently took out a part from the bag containing gold coins, and said: Protection fee.

Rhodes no longer intends to reason with Song Mo, because he doesn't reason at all.But there are some things that he has to make clear in advance, "My lord, I have tried my best. Except for those brothers who have committed a crime and have nowhere to go, no one is willing to come to you."

Song Mo knew that what Rhodes said was not an excuse, this was indeed a problem.

To develop, he must increase the population of the territory.The great man said that there is strength in numbers.Labor force, armed forces, where are people not needed?If the formal way does not work, he can only go directly to grab it.

Too far away, too many variables.It is also easy to cause problems if it is close. Rabbits still don't eat grass by the side of the nest.

The target is too powerful, I have dozens of people, not enough people to get between my teeth.It is too weak and it is difficult to have oil and water to fish for.What Song Mo wanted to grab was people, but the people who went to work with him wanted gold coins and food.After all the calculations, only the Qisa Kingdom met all the conditions.The land they snatched from old Julian was the best target.Almost all the citizens there are from Onlis. The army stationed and the new lord must have plundered the wealth of the occupied area. They are definitely fat sheep...

This business can be done.

While Song Mo was thinking, he laughed loudly, and Rhodes and the dwarf brothers were all chilled by his laughter.

In the end, Rhodes mustered up his courage and said to Song Mo: "My lord, I sent you the man. Should you give me the bow and crossbow?"

"of course."

Song Mo signaled Johnson to hand over the single-shot crossbow and arrow box to Rhodes.Before hot weapons were made, the continuous firing of bows and crossbows was Song Mo's life-saving capital, and none of them could be sold out.No matter who wants to kill Song Mo, he will not let go.

This single-shot crossbow is slightly smaller than the repeating crossbow and is more suitable for dwarves.Except that it can't fire continuously and the rate of fire is slightly slower, its power is not much worse.

Rhodes took the crossbow and went to a distance to test shoot.Song Mo was ready to fight Rhodes, but Rhodes ran back excitedly, and said to Song Mo, "This is really a treasure! It's so powerful! Whoever dares to trouble me, can't kill him , can also shoot him to death!"

Seeing Rhode's excited look, Song Mo suddenly remembered something. He seemed to have never really used a crossbow in front of this dwarf, at most it was used to threaten him.

After arguing for a long time, it turned out that people didn't care whether it was a single shot or a burst.

Fortunately, he still felt that he was a little dishonest, and his conscience was condemned to a certain extent...

However, what the concept of a robber's conscience is remains to be discussed.

Rhodes, who was in a state of excitement, didn't notice what a robber in aristocratic skin was thinking, and he was still talking endlessly: "Don't worry, I will deliver the third batch of ore on time! I will try my best to do what I promised you." I have collected the number of people for you! Those who violated the tax law, those who failed to resist the noble rebellion, and those who opposed the Church of Light and were hunted down by church knights, as long as you don’t mind, I can get you.”

Rhodes' every sentence was very precious, but Song Mo couldn't hear it right.

Could it be that Rhodes is going to send him a group of fighters who fight against feudalism, superstition and oppression?

After all, he is also a feudal landlord class, right?Although poor...
