Warlord: King of All Clans

By the time Leo found Fisa in the wizard's tower, his flintlock had been sawed into two pieces by Fisa.

The buttstock was also sawed shorter, and the front sight and sling were re-welded.

Leo picked it up and took a look. Wow, isn’t this just a single-barreled shotgun?

However, this single-barreled shotgun still needs to be loaded from the front, so it looks a bit out of place.

Because the barrel is half as short, its hit rate is even more mysterious, and it can only be used as a close combat shotgun.

However, the hit rate of this flintlock rifle was originally lower than Leo expected. Thinking about it this way, Fraser's modification seemed more suitable.

"Your hands are really fast. It took a senior craftsman from Hewan a month to make a musket, but you cut it in just one day."

"If you weren't the Kobold King, I would have dragged you out and beheaded you right there!"

Feisa was not afraid of Leo's threats at all. She now realized that Leo always treated his relatives and friends in a glaring manner, and he was not as cruel as Olivia when it came to beating people.

"The musket is too long, the kobolds can't use it!"

She wagged her tail, extremely excited, "A kobold can make a short musket like this!"

The Kobold blacksmith can't make long gun barrels, but he can make short gun barrels!

There is no need to consider the range and accuracy of a shotgun, as long as it does not explode.

The kobold blacksmiths forge iron day after day, and their forging skills are not low. Although they cannot forge high-precision long gun barrels, they can imitate the skills of human blacksmiths and create shorter gun barrels that are less difficult to make.

Leo has very high requirements for muskets, requiring power, range, and accuracy.

But it's different for Frasa. She just wants the musket to fire.

In short, Fraser only needs a troll.

As long as it was better than her previous iron-cast musket, she would be satisfied.

In addition to the daily stealing of patents, Fraser also has his own inventions.

Through studying with Wizard Morse, Fesa has mastered the techniques of controlling magic power and no longer just uses it to cause trouble.

Moreover, she has mastered the various functions of the alchemy table in the Mage Tower. Her hands-on ability is even stronger than Leo's, and she can create various mechanical devices at will.

Every day, strange things appear, giving Master Morse a headache.

She picked up a metal cylinder from the alchemy table, handed it to Leo, and said proudly, "Fisa's new invention!"

Leo looked at it for a long time before he figured out what it was.

This is the bolt of a breech-loading rifle!

Fraser is working on a breech-loading flintlock rifle!

"The Kobolds are short, and it's too troublesome to load the bullets from the front. It's better to load them from the back!"

This was not the idea Leo provided, because the sports student did not have much knowledge, and the history of gun development in his memory jumped directly from flintlock rifles to bolt-action rifles.

Due to the weak industrial base, River Bay is unable to produce bolt-action rifle bolts and metal fixed bullets, so Leo's initial goal has been to research a qualified muzzle-loading flintlock rifle to enhance the firepower of the River Bay army.

However, the alchemy laboratory in the Mage Tower can use magic arrays to raise the temperature of the small iron smelting furnace to the level of melting molten steel, and use spiritual power to shape it.

With this convenience, Fraser's research immediately took the lead among River Bay craftsmen, gradually changing from copying patents to independent research and development.

When the Hewan muzzle-loading flintlock rifle came out, she had already started researching the breech-loading flintlock rifle.

The breech-loading flintlock rifle is only one bullet primer away from the bolt-action rifle!

Of course, even if Fraser had made a breech-loading flintlock rifle, it would not be possible to put it into mass production in a short period of time. However, this kind of innovative spirit is extremely rare in Hewan.

Leo immediately forgave Fraser for her theft and her crime of modifying the gun without permission. He stroked her head and said, "Okay, okay! Keep working hard and find a way to install this device on the gun first."

After walking around the Mage Tower and seeing all kinds of alchemical gadgets, Leo had to admit that this world's alchemical system was indeed enough to replace technology.

Many things that only appeared in modern times already have substitutes in the alchemy room of the Mage Tower.

What steam engine, internal combustion engine or electric motor? We don't need them at all. We can just use magic crystals for energy!

These energy conversion devices were crudely made and could not be used by common people, nor were they needed by nobles, so they had never been studied in depth.

The magic of magic is enough to make up for everything.

However, the level of basic science is actually up to standard.

After Leo showed him the working principles of the flintlock and steam engine, Morse mastered it in less than a week and became even more proficient than Leo.

This is just a mid-level wild mage. Those high-level mages and alchemy masters have a more complete knowledge system.

In the developed southern territory, there are alchemical airships traveling between major cities, as well as powerful alchemical puppets and various magical magic array facilities.

Therefore, while Leo was developing basic technology, he did not give up on the way of transcendence.

The world's extraordinary ways already have a mature system, so there is no need to explore them anymore.

By now, the extraordinary combat power of River Bay is very abundant. In addition to regular troops such as the ten Wind Knights and the ten Rose Knights, there are also wild troops such as Leo, Bjorn, Vichi, Ivan, etc. In addition, there are three alien troops of ogres, werewolves, and kobolds.

Looking up, there are also high-level druid Freya and mid-level mage Morse.

However, neither of them has pledged allegiance, so they cannot be considered as Riverbend's extraordinary fighting force.

Freya, in particular, felt the hair on her back stand up after seeing the artillery experiment at Hewan. She couldn't imagine what would happen if the artillery hit a living person.

Unless it was necessary, Leo was reluctant to let Freya join the war. After all, war was an adult's business, and children only needed to have fun.

As for Master Morse, like Frasa, he exists as a researcher rather than a combat unit on the battlefield.

Olivia's Rose Knight and Leo's Wind Knight were both strong-willed and genuine knights. They had no complaints even after being exiled to the small place of River Bay.

Normally, a transcendent knight would have at least one corner flag to support them, but the size of the river bay is not enough, and they have only a small amount of money as salary until now. If the lord's mansion was not responsible for feeding the mounts and maintaining the armor, it is estimated that this amount of money would not even be enough to sustain their survival.

After the two copper mines controlled by the kobolds began to be mined, Hewan finally had surplus copper.

Strong, who was in charge of managing these industries, not only handed over half of the output to the lord's mansion, but used the rest to forge bronze armor to arm his own ogre troops.

Now that the Lord's Mansion had the copper ingots of the ogre and the industry of Isenbol, its finances were finally relaxed and it could pay its knights more.

Leo still pays great attention to this aspect. His experience as a corporate slave tells him that no matter how loyal his subordinates are, they must still be treated accordingly.

Their willingness to suffer with me does not mean they are willing to suffer forever. There must always be hope that sweet things will come after bitterness.
