Chapter 16 He Needs Witch Hunting Ammunition
March 18, 999 in the Bingyang calendar
Krurod Empire Mining Island, Binam City, a port city in the southwest of Toara Island
"Finally, you are finally here! We thought you had forgotten us at the beginning, do you know? Now we only have the last 300,000 people left on the island.
"But... look carefully at our flag, the white flag with blood on it."
"It's okay, as long as we are compatriots, it's a hundred times better than aliens or monsters! "
Hearing such words, the first batch of soldiers who came to Toara Island on the transport ship nodded gently.
Although the country has changed, as long as they are still the same race, the Rimai people will not split, and in such a world with various intelligent races and even various beliefs, unity is the only choice.
Therefore, when the Emperor of the Krurod Empire, Zelen, came to Binam City under the protection of a group of guards, the highest military and political officials of Binam City naturally bowed to the emperor who came to the city hall without a crown for the time being, wearing only a white dress, with a sword and a pistol on his waist, to show their loyalty.
Zelen: "If you really can't hold on, you can come to Brunei Island. ”
Mayor: “Your Majesty, given the current situation…”
Bang!
Unfortunately, another uninvited guest came to cause trouble.
In response, Zelen looked out the window of the city hall and saw a pig-headed woman wearing a sailor skirt carrying a large crystal cannonball falling from the sky, and used her magic power to instantly pull down a five-story building.
Zelen: “There is something wrong.”
Facing the “special wholesale goods” of the pig-headed man, Zelen, who knew that bullets were useless, pulled out his saber, and then surrounded the humanoid weapon accompanied by a group of guards who had prepared bayonets for their rifles.
There is something wrong: “Oh? Qimi, Kakuyi Deshuo? Asomi..."
Zeren, who didn't understand the strange language the pig-headed man was speaking, didn't waste time trying to understand the other party's nonsense. He rushed forward and slashed with his knife.
In response, the pig-headed man raised his left hand and tried to launch a magic attack. Unfortunately, Zelen was a magic-insensitive person and was completely immune to any type of magic attack.
So the sharp blade in Zelen's hand started from the right shoulder of the pig-headed man and went down to the left abdomen. The gushing blood not only made the pig-headed man stunned. Even the people of Binamu City couldn't help but be shocked. Then when the pig-headed man instinctively covered his wound and knelt on the ground, Zelen chopped off the head of the fresh pig-headed man who had just raised his head to look at him. A body without a head was "made" in this way.
Mayor: "Your Majesty..."
Zeren: "It's just this thing, there's nothing to be afraid of. Come on, clean it up. ”
Compared to the mayor who watched how Zelen easily and simply cut off the head of a terrifying witch who could destroy the entire town, Zelen couldn't help but worry.
He was not afraid of ten or even a hundred people, but that didn't mean his people could easily deal with one person.
So after he dealt with the mayor of Binamu City and other senior officials, he began to discuss with his wives and Prime Minister Tanglu Lux who came specially in his room.
Lux: "Bullets that can kill magic users with one shot? Yes. However, this 11×67mm rifle bullet was only produced by three arsenals in the Krurod Empire before."
Zelen: "Which three?"
Lux: "Sawanchi Weapons Company, Linmington Weapons Company, Tingyang Arsenal. But in the final analysis, there is only one."
Zelen: "What do you mean?"
Lux: "Because Savanchi Weapons Company and Linmington Weapons Company, both arsenals have obtained production licenses from Tingyang Arsenal. Moreover, the founder of Tingyang Arms, the inventor of the ammunition specially designed to hunt magicians, was rewarded by the emperor at that time and married ten wives. As a result, two of the ten wives were the children of the two arsenal owners. So, they obtained the production rights. "
】
Zeren: "Are the descendants of this inventor still doing this kind of work now? We really need such bullets to deal with Youlizi."
Lux: "Well, in fact, Your Majesty, you have a wife who knows about their family."
As he spoke, Prime Minister Tang Gelu set his sights on Marietta.
Marietta: "At least 150 years ago, their family did not continue to engage in the production of such special ammunition, but chose to go into politics to maintain their family business. So as far as I know, the Tang family is now basically an official in the western region of the empire. As for the bullets you want, I know someone from the Linmington Weapons Company, and they are still making them. "
Zeren: "Where is the Linmington Weapons Company?"
Marietta: "Knatipan City. ”
Zeren: “Isn’t it just west of Sugui City?”
Marietta: “Yes. But like other private arsenals, they lack funds and raw materials for production.”
Zeren: “Well, it’s a matter of money again. It would be great if the enemies could send us money.”
Lux: “Your Majesty, strictly speaking, the body of Yuriko that you killed is valuable. As far as I know, if you are willing to sell Yuriko’s body on the black market, you can get a lot of Porat or even missiles back.”
Zeren: "A corpse...isn't it just a corpse? Is it worth money?"
Lux: "Your Majesty, it's mainly because not everyone in this world can use magic, so a magician's corpse is an inestimable fortune for people who can't use spells."
Zeren: "If I sell the corpse of a corpse to Linmington Weapons Company, will they be willing to disclose the production technology of this witch hunting ammunition?"
Marietta: "Then you might as well buy their company in one go. A corpse of a corpse is probably more valuable than all their company's assets."
Zeren: "Okay, I'll ask the research institute to take out the previous corpse. Anyway, the pig-headed people probably have a lot of corpses that can be brought to us for research. And, Marietta, can the Savage family produce it?"
Obviously, Zelen knew that he had plenty of opportunities to encounter a corpse. And the more times he experienced it, the more he realized the importance of technology.
Marietta: "Okay, after all, I'm here. But we also need to relocate here, and recruit female workers to replace some of the recruited male workers. To resume the production of such special ammunition, we Savanchi will have to wait at least another three months. Therefore, although I also want to take all the orders, so far, only the Linmington Arms Company can fulfill your idea. What's more, our Savanchi family and the Linmington family are distant relatives, and the relationship between us is still okay."
Zeren: "Just like the one who brought you here is a man named Linmington Abiyata?"
Marietta: "Yes. Our two families are related by marriage. Simply put, they are descendants of the younger sister's family, and we are descendants of the older sister."
The result is just as Marietta said. The Linmington Arms Company directly replied to Zeren in a very short time, agreeing to the acquisition and voluntarily handing over the position of the company boss to Zeren.
There is no way.
Even if he is just an emperor who rules but does not govern, and often comes out to pretend. But in the minds of many Japanese, the influence of His Majesty the Emperor is still very strong.
But it is precisely for this reason that Zelen needs to think about how to recover the lost territory of the Krurod Empire as soon as possible. After all, the territory of the Krurod Empire is only one-third of its heyday, and the population...
According to the statistics of the Congress, it is less than 90 million.
Compared with the 300 million population in its heyday, it is simply incomparable. What's more troublesome is that the number of 90 million actually includes people hiding in some deep mountains and wild ridges, and it is unknown whether they are dead or alive.
In other words, he needs more people to serve the empire. At the same time, he has to think about how to make Binam City, a city built on a mineral vein, continue to provide enough metal resources for the empire.
