Chapter 464:
Chapter 458 – Variations
Although the God of Knights was fooled away, it was only a matter of time before the two sides erupted into a conflict, to which Owen knew in his heart, because this time the territory’s appetite wasn’t that small, and he didn’t think that he could hide it from the Noble Goddess, this one wasn’t only a god or goddess, but also a nobleman, in front of the experienced opponent, he was a small chicken, so he didn’t stay idle during this period of time, and he kept on doing the preparations for the battle.
Fortunately, the Noble Goddess is not a combat-oriented deity, not so combative, and will not personally participate in the battle, although there are two subordinate gods under his command, but one of them must always be on his side, in the case of only one subordinate god, Owen is not really afraid.
Although he is not afraid, but he can delay, the further he goes, the greater his advantage, so Owen does not rush, let the territory slowly fight.
Just like what Owen guessed, the God of Knights is straight, but the Noble Goddess is not a fool, although she did not go, but after listening to the description of the God of Knights, she knew that there was something fishy, after all, on the subject of playing tricks, the nobles can be completely comparable to the Zhuoer and the Devil, and it is the same in terms of the black heart.
Sitting on the divine seat, the noble goddess has her legs interlocked, snow-white slender legs with noble temperament, perfectly stabbing licking dogs in the lifeblood, and can stimulate them to wail, but unfortunately, this is her god’s country, licking dogs and such creatures can’t come in, and even more so can’t lick them.
“This little guy is not as simple as you think.” The Noble Goddess said leisurely, the God of Guards on the side was expressionless and silent as usual, only the God of Knights frowned.
“He lied?” Apart from betrayal, I’m afraid that what the God of Knights hated the most was lies, and thus all his favor towards Owen was three times less.
“No, he wouldn’t lie, but he made a bet with you didn’t he?” The Noble Goddess said quietly, if it was her, she definitely wouldn’t agree to the bet, but who let go was the God of Knights.
The God of Knights who went to stop the expansion of Owen’s power, originally felt that his actions were a little bit of bullying, and then a little bit of sentimentality would be too much, so as soon as Owen said it, he agreed to do it obediently, but now it seems as if he did something wrong.
“Do we need to go to war?” Although going back on his word was not in line with his beliefs, but it was about the object of his allegiance, the God of Knights still opened his mouth and said.
“No need, although the little guy will make the Northlands a variable, the main world has enough variables, the Imperial Capital, Academy City, the Underworld, and the Secret Realm, perhaps his growth will bring us some different surprises.” Since the Noble Goddess was able to give up the temptation of rebuilding the empire, she wouldn’t care too much about the district’s Northlands, after all, she understood more and knew what she had to face in the future.
Besides, the elf god system was the most protective, and behind the other party there was also a god of the light system, which was conservatively estimated to be a median god, so clashing with the other party in this situation was not a wise choice.
Nevertheless, the Noble Goddess would not just sit back and do nothing, because her priesthood and authority could not allow her to ignore the other party’s expansion, she had to react, even if she knew that it was just a useless endeavor, and this was the restriction that her priesthood and authority imposed on her.
The only way now was to control the scope and level of the conflict and not to expand it, so the bet between the Goddess of Knights and the other party became a stroke of genius.
So the Noble Goddess asked the God of Knights to travel to the Border City Alliance to exert some influence and increase support for Cross in order to act as a restriction on the power of Owen’s side, and if things went well, she might not need to do it.
As Cross kept sending back information about the Glory Union, the War Council then paid more and more attention to this enemy, coupled with the influence of the God of Knights, many of the internal restrictions that they had set for themselves became loose, the first thing was that they started to emphasize the productivity brought by the alchemy machinery, and the second thing is that some of the originally restricted technologies were also taken out, such as the steam tanks and the steel giants, etc, which were all intended to go into the production stage.
Previously do not use, that is useless place, simply put is to think of themselves as a bull pen, so I just do not use the old man, rather than self-defeating martial arts is the same, but wait to meet the great enemy, but also do not hurry to bow down and pick up the things blowing blowing repair.
But regardless of production or yield, are not a short period of time to say that enhancement can be enhanced, the more complex the more so, not to mention the Border City Alliance, although it has been liberalized on the restrictions on the alchemy machinery used to enhance productivity, can be due to the previous suppression, resulting in a lot of things are imperfect, such as before obtaining the Honorary Alliance can be called a boutique of semiautomatic rifles, is not to say that the imitation of can be imitated because many of the parts do not have a corresponding Production Equipment.
The Border City Alliance is equipped with a single shot rifle that is no different from a shotgun that is pouting and loaded, and this thing only has a few parts, so if you want to imitate a semi-automatic rifle, you need to design a set of machines specifically for each part, and get an assembly line for the whole gun. Of course, if there are enough alchemists, it is completely possible to use hand rubbing, the key is not.
As far as the alchemists of the Border City Alliance were concerned, they couldn’t get hundreds of thousands of rifles even if their hands were rubbed out.
What’s more, not to mention how much these two methods would cost and how long they would take, just the ammunition needed by the entire force could not be supplied.
A firearm could be used for a long time, and even accompany multiple soldiers, but bullets were purely consumables, not only for combat, but also for training in normal times.
Nowadays, an infantryman of the Border City Alliance equipped with thirty rounds of bullets can support a battle, but when replaced with a semi-automatic rifle, even if a single soldier carries twice as many bullets, it won’t last long, it’s really that semi-automatic bullets consume too quickly, and put it in an army of hundreds of thousands of troops can cause people to collapse.
Bullets are not just a matter of casting cartridges and casings, the primers and firing pills must rely on alchemists to configure them, and in this regard, the alchemists have a firm grip on them, so it is too difficult to expand their production, so it is unrealistic for the Border City Alliance to replace the most heavily equipped rifles in a short period of time.
However, according to the information provided by Cross, the War Council had set their sights on machine guns.
The fire suppression effect of the machine gun was shown in the mobilized soldiers, it was impossible for the war council not to be moved, even if there was quite a bit of difficulty involved it had to be accomplished.
Rifles for precise shooting, machine guns for fire suppression, and artillery for strong support, these were the three axes that the War Council had prepared for the army, and would be the future direction of the army.
But this is not easy, for the alchemist, the complex mechanical structure is just like a puzzle toy, how do you want to play, get a mechanical mannequin composed of all gears are no problem, the problem is the cost.
One or two can not consider the cost of the problem, thousands still do not consider the cost, how much family money must have to dare to be so spoiled.
For example, the army needs at least a thousand machine guns, complex construction, not to mention the cost of production, just the supporting machinery can drive people crazy.
Even if the Border City Alliance inherited the legacy of the Imperial Border Army, they still can’t carry it, not to mention that now is not the same as in the past, now there is no empire to give them grants, resources, and talents.
Therefore one by one, the alchemists are worried about losing their hair, thinking about how to simplify the parts, these parts must also be able to use the existing equipment for mass production, which is even more worrying.
Well located in the front line of the Eugene master provided some ideas, a group of alchemists quarrel for three days, finally came up with a set of design programs, although most of the parts need to alchemists hand rubbing, but at least the Border City Alliance has its own machine gun.
