Your war hammer is too fake

"No!! Ancestors, what have I done!" The Rune Lord fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face.

On the Anvil of Doom, all the runes shone brightly for a few seconds before extinguishing at the same time. The legacy of the ancestors began to rust and age rapidly. In the time it took to take a deep breath, the Anvil of Doom, which had been passed down through generations of rune blacksmiths for thousands of years, shattered with a loud bang, turning into rotten debris all over the ground.

A piercing and sharp laughter floated from the void. A shapeless shadow emerged from the altar. When it landed, it had transformed into a three-story-tall hunchbacked monster with a sharp beak, slender fingers that were almost claws, and a body covered with blue feathers.

"How can I thank you, dwarf?" The monster lowered his head, and in his pupils he reflected Krag's face, which was almost broken by self-blame. "How about I let you become a wizard~"

As if amused by its own creativity, the monster let out a deep laugh. It stretched out its hand, and the wind of magic began to gather towards the fingertips of its left hand.

"Glorious and brilliant, show my divine light; wind, fire, and thunder, guard me; follow my command and kill the unknown immediately. Quick!"

The monster's reaction was extremely fast. Almost as soon as it noticed the abnormal flow of the magic wind, it immediately re-woven and arranged the magic wind that had already gathered, turning it into a thick shield to block in front of it.

The blazing white lightning tore through the darkness and hit the magic shield heavily, smashing it to pieces. Then, the lightning hit the monster like a heavy hammer, and the magic shield covering the monster's body shattered with a "pop".

Even after being weakened twice, the monster still let out a piercing scream when the thunder struck it. Before the dazzling lightning completely dissipated, a one-eyed dwarf butcher with a mohawk hairstyle rushed over with a rune axe raised high, roaring, and another blond human holding a sword followed reluctantly.

The monster cursed in a language that mortals could not understand. It raised its staff to block the axe of the dwarf butcher, and then pushed it away. While pushing the axe blade away, the end of the staff hit the dwarf butcher, knocking the reckless warrior away. When the human swordsman hurriedly ran over to check on the dwarf butcher, a crossbow arrow with a shining rune on the arrowhead broke through the air. The monster tilted its head slightly and dodged the attack.

"The game has begun," the monster began, "I look forward to my next duel with you, unknown powerful wizard."

As he spoke, the monster, whose half of its body was torn apart by the lightning, slammed his staff down heavily. A rift appeared between the mortal world and the Chaos Realm. First, a bloodletter poked its head out of the space crack, and then hundreds of Khorne demons poured out.

Seeing this, An Jiyue knew that it was impossible for her to take advantage of the opportunity when the other party had just escaped from the seal and was currently in a weak state to chase and kill this rather strange Lord of Change. She could only turn her eyes to the space crack, from which a steady stream of Khorne demons were emerging, and the cave was almost filled with these noisy things.

"Follow me!" she shouted. "Let's drive these demons back!"

Chapter 70 Ignite (Part 1)

"I can only say that fortunately I was prepared."

As An Jiyue said this, she opened a silk bag with the words "Curse Salt" embroidered in simplified Chinese characters on the surface. The bag was not big, about the size of an apple, and was filled with snow-white, fine salt grains.

The young alchemist pinched a pinch of curse salt from her bag and sprinkled it on Gotrek's head. The latter closed his eyes tightly, his facial features almost twisted into a ball. As the salt rolled down the dwarf butcher's face and chest, wisps of black air that could only be seen clearly when you got close escaped from the short and strong body, surrounding the dwarf and refusing to leave.

"Is it over?" Gotrek asked impatiently with his eyes closed.

"Although it's impossible for you to fall, it doesn't mean that Chaos can't pollute your soul in other ways." An Jiyue tightened the mouth of the silk bag and put it aside unhappily, then picked up a lit incense stick, "Stand still. Hold your breath!"

The governor shook his wrist, and the slowly burning incense sticks drew circles of very light smoke tracks in the air. Driven by the will of the caster, the smoke condensed and did not disperse, like a group of marching ants, rushing towards the black air around the dwarf butcher's body, dividing, tearing, and devouring the latter, and finally turning into the purest magical wind, returning it to the world.

"Okay. Open your eyes." An Jiyue began to pack up: "You have had close contact with that thing, and you have the heaviest evil spirit on you. If you don't purify it thoroughly, that thing will come to you sooner or later."

"Isn't that better?" The dwarf butcher snorted, "I have been searching for my doom for a long time."

"Our mission is not yet complete," the girl reminded, "Before we accomplish our mission, Gotrek Gnesson, you have no right to die."

Felix stood by with his sword in hand, looking first at his dwarf friend and then at An Jiyue. "Thank you, ma'am," the bard said dryly, "I have never seen such a way to purify chaos. Is this a magic from Zhendan?"

"Using incantations to exorcise evil spirits and using incense to exorcise evil spirits are the basic skills of a Taoist priest," An Jiyue answered casually as she handed the silk bag and the half-remaining stick of incense to Jin Zhifan. "To be more precise, they are the basic skills of our school."

In the setting of Anshi Zhendan, not to mention the professional alchemists, even many witches and sorcerers in the countryside know this purification spell. However, the official Zhendan probably doesn't have this thing, the girl thought. This spell is very simple, so simple that as long as you master the correct way to cast the spell and get the curse salt and purification incense, even ordinary people with no Taoism can use this spell, the most is that the effect will be much worse.

The space rift torn by the unknown Lord of Change had been repaired by An Jiyue at this time - not sealed, but actually erased. For the locals, the passage to the Chaos Demon Realm can only be sealed and difficult to completely solve, but this disgusting thing does not exist for the holders of the Holy Book of War.

As long as the holder of the Holy Scripture approaches a certain distance, the Holy Scripture of War can repair any space rift, even the super-large space rifts that can be called the medieval version of the Eye of Fear after the ancient portals at the North and South Poles exploded out of control. In addition, if it is in an area where an anchor point has been taken, the order field opened by the anchor point can also repair the space rift, but the efficiency is not as high as that of the holder of the Holy Scripture himself.

For An Jiyue, the good news was that repairing the space rift would give her points, which were even more than the points she got from smashing hundreds of Khorne demons with magic. The bad news was that after she dealt with the demons and closed the space rift, she had completely lost the trace of the Lord of Change. The latter had driven away the remaining thunder power in his body with amazing efficiency, and now An Jiyue could no longer sense the breath of this guy.

An Jiyue felt a headache whenever she thought of the unfathomable power of the Everchanging Demon Lord hanging around nearby. She was not afraid of the other party coming to attack her, but she was afraid that the other party would keep hanging like this. The girl herself was naturally not afraid of this blue-haired chicken, but her teammates could not stand being attacked by this thing out of the blue.

After clapping his hands and attracting everyone's attention, An Jiyue said, "We have encountered a setback, but it's no big deal. People who are tripped up by setbacks will never appear in this expedition." When he said this, An Jiyue glanced at Krag, "No matter what stands in our way, it can't stop the determination of mortals to regain the lost glorious era. The Kingdom of Mountains will be restored, and the Heavenly Court will always be steadfast... Who?!"

The girl turned around suddenly, and her right hand grasped a talisman. The second person to react was Joseph Bergman. The brewmaster rolled over and hid behind a rock, holding his crossbow with both hands.

The acting skills of the Jiedushi are really exaggerated, Jin Zhifan thought so. The deputy captain of the Jinyiwei looked at the profile of his Jiedushi, drew out the embroidered spring knife expressionlessly, and pretended to be highly alert and ready to rush up and chop people at any time.

At first, there was no movement at the other end of the cave. The scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The two sides were in a stalemate. After a moment, a rough voice broke the silence: "I should be the one asking you this! Who are you and why are you intruding into our territory?"

The other party was speaking Khazarid, and this discovery immediately made the expedition members, except for the two Chinese people, nervous. Joseph looked to the side and found that Cragg, who had a gloomy face, had no intention of speaking. Since being rescued, the Rune Master had not said a single word.

"We are here to find the legendary Plateau Castle on the orders of the High King Thorgrim the Grudgebearer." An Jiyue signaled everyone not to take action. She put away the talisman and said loudly, "You said this is your territory? Just now, we were attacked by demons. Are you servants of the Mighty Ones of Destruction? It seems that today will not end peacefully."

"Bullshit, you are the bad guy who believes in Chaos!" A light suddenly lit up in the dark cave, and a cloaked dwarf ranger holding a lantern jumped out from his hiding place: "We found something going on here, so we came to take a look. You said you were commissioned by the High King? Are you from the Eternal Peak?"

Well, the other side's acting is even more exaggerated. Jin Zhi Shigeru narrowed her eyes slightly, she naturally knew what was going on in the current scene. With the help of the chat group, An Jiyue and Barrel o Magic Hammer negotiated. In addition to seizing the time to prepare for the war, the dwarf king also specially sent a team of rangers to rush over here, preparing to create a "chance encounter".

"Yes, we came from the Eternal Peak. We also have a Thunder Airship outside, and we came here on it," An Jiyue continued to act out the agreed script, "As far as I know, there is only one fortress in the Southland, Plateau Castle, and it has fallen long ago. If you are also the Sons of the Mountain and Stone, and not Hasut's minions, then where did you come from?"

"We are from Plateau Castle," the dwarf ranger's answer caused a stir among the expedition team, "We have lived there for many generations. If you come with good intentions, then put down your weapons, and we will welcome you with the etiquette of hospitality - as long as you don't lie to us!"

……

That night, the Goblin Star of Disaster arrived in the airspace directly above Plateau Castle. An Jiyue then cast an underground spell, taking the entire airship and the passengers underground, and then emerged from the top of the cave in front of the gate of Plateau Castle.

This bizarre scene beyond imagination caused a commotion on the city wall. The dwarven artillery guarding this place almost opened fire, and both sides spent a lot of time to resolve the misunderstanding. Amid the click of giant gears and the shaking of iron chains, the gate of the Plateau Castle opened inward, and the Goblin Scourge slowly drove into the city.

Then, there was the dwarven banquet that An Jiyue had attended countless times... As the king of this place, Barel Magic Hammer personally came out to welcome the guests from afar and asked a lot of questions. The dwarves in the expedition were shocked by the prosperity of Plateau Fort, especially when Barel "inadvertently" mentioned that the fortress had 100,000 residents. Even Cragg, who had been silent all the way, raised his head in astonishment.

After a cup of rich and nutritious dwarven beer, the two sides quickly became lively. The dwarves held their glasses and exchanged their experiences with each other. Felix, who was watching, took out a small notebook and wrote down what he saw and heard at the moment.

As the conversation deepened, the topic soon shifted to the expedition's mission. Barrel said that he had never heard of the Eternal Furnace, but as far as he knew, there was a forbidden area deep in the fortress that was sealed off by the ancestors of the Emberstone Clan, and perhaps what the expedition was looking for was there.

Chapter 71 Ignition (Part 2)

This system, named "Recasting Triangle" by Granny, consists of three subsystems.

The Lighthouse of the Old Days is responsible for guiding souls. Although it is called a lighthouse, it actually looks like a circle of stone pillars arranged in a ring, and each stone pillar corresponds to a dwarf clan in the era of the ancestor god. Unless they are killed by demons or their souls are enslaved by undead spells after death, the deceased dwarves will go to the kingdom of Gazul and rest there. The role of the Lighthouse of the Old Days is to guide souls safely to the Eternal Furnace and protect them from being captured or enslaved by any existence.

The Eternal Furnace is the absolute core of the Reforged Triangle. The souls of the deceased dwarves will be decomposed in the extraordinary flames of the furnace, and the impurities will be burned away, leaving only the purest spirituality and spiritual essence, waiting for the next step of the reforging ritual. If there are too many impurities in the soul, then the unfortunate guy will be completely annihilated in this step - in other words, he will die without a trace.

The Echoing Hall is the last step of the recasting ritual and the most difficult step in the entire process. After being decomposed and purified by the Eternal Furnace, the spirit and the spirit essence will be reorganized in the Echoing Hall to reconstruct a complete soul. Considering that except for very few exceptions, the souls entering the recasting triangle will be more or less purified of some impurities, and the remaining part is no longer the weight of a whole person, so this step also requires the filling of these incomplete souls.

"When the filling is complete, the new soul will be reborn. Granny referred to the existence of, um, 'certain' things," An Jiuyue said, "He designed a set of runes that can help the recast soul regain a physical body, a new body made of etheric flesh and blood."

"Wait," Barrel O Hammer said in confusion, "Ether flesh? Why do I remember that thing seemed to be..."

The governor coughed hard. The dwarf king reacted immediately and swallowed back the rest of his words. Amid the confused and suspicious looks of the others, An Jiyue skipped over this dangerous topic as if nothing had happened: "Not everyone can imitate the white dwarves and complete the incarnation by themselves based on oaths and hatred. Even the most heroic warriors in the Mountain Kingdom need a little help from outside forces to complete the last step of the recasting ceremony."

"In terms of engineering, only the Eternal Furnace can be considered completed. The other two parts have insurmountable technical difficulties," said the young alchemist, picking up the golden rune hammer from the table. "The problem with the Old Lighthouse is that although it can indeed guide souls and illuminate the way to the Eternal Furnace in the underworld, the more important function of protecting souls has never been realized... This is unacceptable. We are trying to save the Mountain Kingdom, not delivering takeout to the devil!"

"The second is the Hall of Echoes. Gazul told me that Granni had already realized that his design could indeed decompose and purify the soul. Filling the soul with the purified and reconciled magical wind to make it complete was a difficult idea but it was eventually solved. The only problem was the last step, the incarnation."

"The dwarven runes have their limits. Granny discovered during his experiments that the other steps were fine, except for the incarnation stage. The newly purified soul was very, very, very likely to attract demons! Granny was unable to solve this problem until he had to leave his people for some reason and his whereabouts were unknown. Coupled with the problem of the old lighthouse, the reforged triangle had to be sealed in the end."

After reading the complete set of manuscripts left by Granny, An Jiyue found that she had no idea how to solve this problem... If she had five to six years to study it, she would be able to overcome this difficulty, but it would definitely not be done in a short period of time. Fortunately, she still had the Holy Book of War.

[Scan of target object 'Recast Triangle' completed, permissions confirmed, do you want to start access? Yes/No]

According to the agreement with Gazul, An Jiyue will be responsible for completing the part that Granni failed to complete that year, and will return the control of the Reforged Triangle after the first trial run of the Reforged Triangle is completed and it is confirmed that this thing can operate normally. In exchange, Gazul swore to An Jiyue on behalf of all the dwarf ancestors that they all owed An Jiyue a favor.

In fact, even if this favor was not promised, she would still accept the commission, An Jiuyue thought.

The girl chose "yes" with her mind. The points on the War Codex account were instantly reduced by more than 30,000. If it weren't for the points she got from fighting the Khorne Demon + closing the rift, An Jiyue would have gone bankrupt just from this.

In the realm invisible to the naked eye, the power of the War Codex began to extend into the Reforged Triangle. Massive amounts of data were analyzed, calculated, and classified in the War Codex. An Jiyue, who vaguely felt a certain power moving around, looked up and looked around. She saw that the walls, ceilings, and even the floor of the entire hall were "growing" with complex patterns at a speed visible to the naked eye, and there were also some ancient characters in the middle that even she had to work hard to distinguish before she could understand.

An Jiyue crossed her arms and observed these newly appeared traces with great interest. Compared with the girl, the dwarves' reactions were much more reserved. Even Barrel, a fellow time traveler, stared at the ancient characters. Regardless of whether they were "locals" or not, at this moment, all the dwarves at the scene held their breath and concentrated, their palms sweating.

The governor suddenly felt someone gently tug at her sleeve. She turned her head and saw the expectant face of the dwarf king. The latter lowered his voice and whispered in his real native language: "This!" He pointed to the ancient characters that looked more like some kind of miniature pictures at first glance: "You seem to know this kind of characters? Can you teach me?"

The girl glanced at the dwarf: "I remember you majored in Chinese Language and Literature in college?" She had already confirmed that, except for Barrel, the dwarves present could not speak Zhendan.

"Yes."

"Sure. I'll teach you after this job is done."

"Thank you."

"Saying thank you would be too polite..."

As he spoke, the seal used to protect the soul and safely reach the Eternal Crucible was completed, and all the lines and ancient characters lit up at the same time. On the display interface of the War Codex, the [Old Lighthouse] in the recast triangle turned from gray to white and glowed slightly. After a brief pause, the War Codex began to carve the seal for the Echo Hall.

This process took much longer than the first half. An Jiyue's legs were numb from standing so long, and the progress bar on the Holy Book of War finally reached the bottom, with the icons representing the three components of the reforged triangle all lighting up.

[It's finally finished.] The moment the spell of the Echo Hall was finished, Gazul's voice appeared in An Jiyue's mind. [I can feel it singing... Your efficiency is much faster than I thought, lady. The light of the lighthouse has illuminated the passage, and I will immediately arrange for the first batch of souls to go to your side.]

[Do you need me to light the furnace immediately? ] An Jiyue asked.

[Just do it, ma'am. The Son of the Stone has waited too long for this day.]

The girl took a deep breath. She waved to the others. Seeing this, the dwarves first bowed to her and touched their chests to salute her. Then they silently left this place where every brick and tile was built by their ancestors. According to Gazul, when the Eternal Furnace is ignited, a powerful shock wave will be generated. This shock wave will tear apart the souls of mortals, so the step of igniting the furnace must be carried out by An Jiyue herself, and no one else can be left at the scene.

Holding the rune hammer tightly in her hand, An Jiyue stamped her feet, which were numb from standing for too long. She waited for a quarter of an hour until everyone had moved far enough away, and then she stepped forward with the hammer.

Standing in front of the giant furnace that was even larger than the throne room in Plateau Castle, the girl took another deep breath. She felt that she should say something, and she did so.

"Let's put an end to this stupid charade... The time of reckoning has come!!"

As he finished speaking, the golden hammer fell down with a loud bang.

Chapter 72: Tips

An Jiyue "heard" the roar of the storm.

On the outer shell of the giant furnace, thousands of runes engraved by the ancestor gods lit up one after another, releasing a gorgeous blue light that reminded the girl of Cherenkov radiation. A low roar came from the hollow interior of the furnace, and the deafening sound was accompanied by a shriek that rose from low to high, and finally fell into silence when it reached its peak.

An Jiyue clearly saw what happened at that moment. A transparent shock wave started from the furnace core, spread out through the furnace wall and spread in all directions. When it passed by, the girl was briefly distracted for a moment. The two waist flags hanging on the headband of the hu headband were violently rolled in the airflow, and the headscarf wrapped around her silver hair was almost blown away. The next moment, the dizziness quickly faded and disappeared, and the big red waist flags also fell down, staying obediently on both sides of the armor.

Then, the whole hall fell silent. Just as An Jiyue began to wonder if this thing was broken, the girl's magical senses clearly sensed the explosive power inside the Eternal Furnace. The majestic energy was ignited, and all the heat dissipation vents of the Eternal Furnace simultaneously spewed out sparks.

The rolling heat waves scorched the air, and the Aksha Wind cheered. An Jiyue suddenly realized that when Granny designed this thing, he probably didn't consider whether living people could withstand this amazing heat.

Taking off her headscarf, she straightened her messy hair and tied it up again. An Jiyue summoned her own war scripture and turned to a certain page. Currently, the Reforged Triangle was under the absolute control of the war scripture, and its operation and detailed data were clearly visible on the pages of the scripture. The girl read it at a glance and then closed the war scripture with satisfaction.

The entire system is in normal condition and the operation is smooth. Under the guidance of the old lighthouse, the first batch of souls is about to arrive.

The first deceased to enter the furnace was Gotrek Ostarbreaker, whom Anjiyue had met once before when he met Gazul. The most famous deed of this former High King was the Battle of the Longbeard, which the dwarves called the War of Vengeance, which took place during his tenure. It was also Gotrek Ostarbreaker who killed Caledor II, the Phoenix King at the time and one of the most stupid people in the entire Warhammer, in a duel, and took away the latter's crown as compensation to the dwarves.

The Asur crafted a new crown after the Battle of the Longbeard, with the following stipulations: the new crown must never leave Ulthuan under any circumstances!

Supernatural flames roiled in the furnace, burning the souls to make them purer. According to the design, the Eternal Furnace can accommodate up to a thousand souls at a time. This is actually far from its limit. The reason for this restriction is to avoid putting too many souls in at once, resulting in too many impurities being decomposed, which in turn leads to some uncontrollable consequences.

There is only one soul in the furnace being tested. This is Gotrek Oshatterstar's own request. He hopes that he can test whether the reforged triangle can meet the design specifications. Many dwarves who have passed away long ago want to compete for this "honor", but in the end they are all convinced by Gotrek Oshatterstar.

An Jiyue stood in front of the working furnace, arms folded, waiting. Barel O's Hammer appeared behind her without her knowing, his eyes almost glued to the Eternal Furnace. "They said that there must be a dwarf to witness this moment," the dwarf king explained, carrying his rune hammer, "Kragg was also qualified to be here, but..."

The Lord of Plateau Castle did not continue speaking, but both of them knew what came after "what to do".

"Do you think Krag will become a butcher?" asked Barrel.

"What else?" An Jiyue asked back, "The Anvil of Doom means to the dwarves what the Nine Cauldrons mean to us. If one of the Nine Cauldrons is destroyed because of our fault, we will never be able to atone for this sin even if we are tortured to death."

"Now that I am also a son of the mountains and stones," Barel said quietly, "I have begun to truly understand the dwarves. At the same time, I find it more difficult to accept many of the dwarves' practices, those so-called 'traditions'. Do you have any suggestions for this?"

"My advice is not to do anything unnecessary," An Jiyue turned around, "Highland Castle is under your absolute control, you can do whatever you want here. Isn't that enough? You said you began to understand dwarves, no, you didn't. Your identity as a dwarf has caused you to have obstacles in your understanding of this matter. There are many lost dwarf fortresses in this world, why did that broken simulator throw you to Highland Castle? I remember you said that your starting location was chosen randomly."

The dwarf king pondered for a while. "There are no firearms in Highland Castle, and engineering is not well developed," he said. "There is no such thing as black powder in the memory of 'Barel O Hammer'. There must be something wrong. As the only hammerman among our group, do you have any clues?"

"Yes. It is mentioned in the military chronicle that the dwarves invented black powder in 420 BC," An Jiyue quickly found the answer from her memory. "When the Emberstone Clan was thrown to the Southland, the dwarves didn't even know what black powder was."

In the Warhammer world, no matter who discovered gunpowder first, it was definitely not the dwarves. The reason is simple. The Sky Titans died in 2735 BC, and the Sky Titans had firearms. Even if we calculate it based on the time when the last Sky Titan died, which is 1700 BC, it was much earlier than the dwarves invented gunpowder.

If we include the End of Time series of novels, Cathay had early firearms when the Nehekhara were still alive, much earlier than the dwarves. Personally, An Jiyue tends to believe that the Sky Titans were the inventors of gunpowder in the Warhammer world. After all, the technical level of the Ironblaster (Note 1) is much more advanced than the large-scale muskets such as the Dragon Staff that Cathay sold to the Nehekhara.

"Firearms are the future," Barrel said firmly. "Even in a world full of magic, even if I have a bunch of runesmiths in my territory, I still say that firearms are the future."

"Wait," An Jiyue frowned and said, "Rune Blacksmith? You actually have a Rune Blacksmith here?"

"? I'm a legitimate dwarven faction, is it strange to have a runesmith? I have everything here, including engineers. Although the engineers in Plateau Hold only tinker with semi-automatic crossbows, clockwork-driven beard combers and the like all day long."

"...Runesmiths are all inherited from the family, and the same is true for engineers. The Emberstone Clan was originally a ranger clan. According to the rules of the runesmiths, even if they can only adopt one child to inherit their craft under extreme circumstances, the adopted child must break off relations with the original family according to tradition." The girl spread her hands, "In other words, how can a ranger clan have a runesmith? The same goes for engineers. By the way, these things are common sense for dwarves."

"You're telling me common sense?" The dwarf king's eyes widened. "Have you ever seen a dwarf clan with a population of 100,000? Just one clan, a full 100,000 people. We have long since stopped following the custom that all clan members generally do the same job, with a few exceptions who transfer to other guilds with special permission from their elders. Here, you can join any guild you want, and at most you are not allowed to change jobs without special circumstances."

"That's right. Your existence itself has overturned a lot of traditions." The governor nodded in approval, and then changed the subject: "You just said that you have a lot of rune blacksmiths here? Is rune science very developed in Plateau Castle?"

"That depends on how you define advanced," Barrel replied. "If we compare it to the age of the Ancestral Gods, where runes would be stamped on everything the dwarves made, then it's definitely far inferior."

The Jiedushi asked again: "What if we compare it with our relatives in the north?"

The dwarf king put his hands on his hips, his face full of pride: "Father!"

The girl burst out laughing. "Be more specific," she asked while laughing, "What extent can you achieve with the runes?"

"All the ballistae and catapults are covered with engineering runes," the dwarf replied immediately. "As for other aspects, at least elite troops such as the heavy hammer and the iron breaker can be equipped with a full set of rune equipment. However, my iron breaker warriors don't have small backpacks. After all, the firearms technology tree has not been lit up in Plateau Castle at all."

"This is probably the simulator's compensation for the lack of high-tech in Gaoyuanbao," An Jiuyue slowly put away her smile, "There is also a legendary engineering master among the people who came with me this time. Remember to let your engineers communicate with him more. Let's not talk about high-tech things for now, at least you have to learn the basic firearms technology."

……

Note 1: That is, the iron-splitting copper cannon. The author still prefers the translation of iron-spraying cannon.
