The correct way to open the elf

Chapter 57 Armed Forces
Clarence murmured, "They are all great and important people!"

“Yes, it is these masters who are dedicated to studying the truth of nature who have truly changed the course of history and the development of civilization.

They are different from magicians. Magicians are only powerful in themselves, but these masters’ interpretation and application of the laws of nature can benefit the entire civilization.”

Feng Yu's little tricks were thrown to Clarence in tons as if they were free, which made the elf alchemist very excited.

He clapped his hands and called all the elves in the laboratory over: "It is said that when humans drove the dwarves away, the dwarves initially wanted to resist with dwarven muskets, but after the dwarves discovered that humans also had a small number of dwarven muskets, they realized that their advantage was gone, so they retreated into the Snow Peak Mountains.

Today, more powerful gunpowder has been produced by all of us, and you have all seen its effects.

If the elven archers can compete with the dwarven musketeers who are not wearing heavy armor in terms of range and accuracy, then when the elven archers face this kind of musket made of gunpowder, they will face a crushing defeat in terms of range.

You should have all seen the aiming mechanism I designed for the dwarven musket. It is so simple that you can understand it at a glance, and it can be made by hiring two craftsmen. In this way, even in terms of accuracy, which the elves are proud of, your advantage will be reduced or even surpassed.

I won’t go into detail about the consequences, I think everyone can imagine it.

What I want to tell you is the truth that my hometown learned at the cost of blood, which is that you should never reveal even a little bit of anything that can hurt yourself.

There is no shortage of geniuses in this world. I just know the general steps, and with your help, I can make this kind of thing, and others can naturally do it too.

So, for the sake of your family and the entire elven community, please keep this secret and don't let your achievements appear in the weapons that your enemies use to kill you.

Believe me, that kind of sorrow is definitely not pleasant. It took my people two or three hundred years and nearly 100 million casualties to make up for that unforgettable mistake."

Clarence said solemnly, "Don't worry Darren, we will swear the most noble oath to the Moon Goddess and guard this secret until our death."

Feng Yu glanced at the elves in the laboratory and said, "I believe you, because 500,000 of our fellow elves are sleeping in the Elf Forest."

Clarence looked at Feng Yu with complicated eyes. Feng Yu knew what he was thinking about, which was nothing more than his own identity. However, he didn't care about that. As long as he was worthy of Nicole, that was enough.

"Don't forget my knives and drills. Also, we need to contact Mr. Anthony and come up with a proper mass production plan as soon as possible. The output of your alchemy laboratory alone is far from enough."

Clarence nodded, and Feng Yu had already walked out of the laboratory.

In less than half an hour, Anthony came to Feng Yu and pulled Feng Yu away without saying a word.

After listening to Clarence's account of the experimental process and Feng Yu's final words, the old man could no longer sit still in the face of such an important thing.

The three of them got together and discussed the arrangements regarding smokeless gunpowder again.

According to Anthony, the production of such an important thing should be arranged in the Longyue Forest, but Feng Yu immediately rejected it.

“It’s not that I don’t trust the elves there. The elves in the Misty Moon Forest have been living in peace and comfort for too long. It’s easiest for information to leak out in a safe environment because no one cares about the danger of not being discovered.

I observed the elves who came here to avoid the cold. They talked a lot, and even without me asking them any questions, they revealed everything about the defenses and important locations of the Misty Moon Forest. How could they keep secrets in such an environment?

The camp is different, there is still some tension here, and the elves are still vigilant. "

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Anthony had to agree, so Clarence told the great sage that he had been fooled by Feng Yu and didn't even know what potions and stabilizers he used!

In other words, the elves in the alchemy laboratory knew the original formula of gunpowder, but Feng Yu himself said that if it was not moved, it would explode on its own. Without the second-generation formula in his hands, it was basically useless. After all, no one dared to use gunpowder that would explode on its own at any time.

Feng Yu thought for a moment and said, "I hope to hire a group of elven archers to guard the salt fields and protect the future gunpowder workshop.

These elves can be untrained recruits, registered under Nicole's name. Nicole's magical talent is obvious to all, so it should not be a problem for her to form a follower guard!

Then I will train them how to use the new weapons to fight, so that they can guard the salt fields and protect the camp when the camp faces danger.

Not too many, just a hundred elves will do."

Old man Anthony stared at Feng Yu intently, thinking, good fellow, you are finally going to control the armed forces. Although it is in Nicole's name, everyone can see that Nicole listens to you and obeys your orders. Her words are almost more effective than those of my grandfather.

"Nicole hasn't achieved anything yet, how can she form her own team of followers?!"

"It doesn't matter if I don't achieve anything. I don't need the elves to support me. Nicole takes care of my food, clothing, shelter, transportation, weapons and equipment, and she also pays me a salary every month."

Old man Anthony felt a toothache. Isn't this just being a rogue? What would the elves' top brass think? !

Feng Yu stole a glance at the old man's reaction, and then said, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether the elves agree or not. Anyway, Dick and Alan have already promised me that they will help me select warriors to form my personal guard team.

I think it would be better for the elves to join in and form a team under Nicole's name. Since you don't agree, it seems that this will have to fall on my head."

Anthony was surprised and said, "What, the dwarf and the halfling agreed to it?"

Feng Yu shrugged: "Why not? I'm not asking the soldiers who follow me to die, but to protect our high-quality and cheap salt fields. If the salt fields collapse, they will have to give their hard-earned gold and silver coins to the black-hearted goblins."

Old man Anthony said depressedly: "Let me think about it first!"

Feng Yu said, "Forget it, I regret it. Nicole has to practice every day, which is hard enough. I will lead this escort team with reluctance.

It’s just the right time to wait for new weapons to be developed, train them to use new tactics, and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.”

Anthony and Clarence finally realized that this guy had planned it from the beginning, and even if Anthony agreed, he might go back on his word.
