Chapter 382, Field Gun Blueprint_1
Through some source, Li Zhenhu purchased three cannons from Jinmastu.
This was the reason why they could develop rapidly and break through the defenses of various towns and villages with ease.
On their way forward, Fang Hao discussed this matter with Rebecca.
According to Rebecca's words,
Humans and various tribes have fought wars, and Jinmastu has been an important place to supply troops with military equipment, including the production of cannons.
However, with the cessation of war and the City Lord of Silver Wing City consolidating the rights of various local City Lords, Jinmastu no longer allows the production and manufacture of weapons.
The cannons that the bandits bought should have been produced a few years ago.
Even so, they still hold significant power when used to attack villages.
With this understanding, Fang Hao started to think further.
Since Jinmastu has the capability to produce cannons, it is highly likely that they still have the blueprints.
The blueprints would usually be stored in the machinery factory.
Fang Hao decided to try his luck by sending Lorrey on a night mission.
Unexpectedly, she did find it.
"Let me take a look."
As he received the blueprint from Lorrey, it immediately transformed into a beam of light and entered into the Book of Lords.
[First Generation Field Cannon: Hardy Wood 110, Cast Iron block 450, Copper Ingot 120, Fine Iron 80, Essence of Destruction 2.]
(Description: A field cannon made jointly by humans and dwarves. The large cannon barrel and heavy cannonball are enough to break through all enemy defenses.)
Even this outdated model of a cannon uses fine iron and essence.
But the power of the cannon is indeed great.
If used in siege warfare, it would undoubtedly be of great value.
"Sir, is this what you were looking for?" Lorrey asked in a whisper.
"Yes, well done." Fang Hao tousled her hair.
If it were anyone else, Lorrey would have definitely gotten angry and swatted their hand away.
But with Fang Hao, she simply showed a smiling face.
"Hmm, I'm glad I could help, sir. Can I share a room with Anjia tonight?" Lorrey asked, her eyes wide and hopeful.
Fang Hao glanced at Anjia, who was nearby.
He looked at both of them suspiciously, "You two aren't planning some sort of scheme, are you? Planning to go out and play?"
"N-no, of course not." Lorrey quickly waved her hands.
Anjia was also startled, her face revealing her shock.
"Let Aseti take you two out for a bit, but make sure you are back before midnight," Fang Hao relented after some thought.
With Anjia and Lorrey's skills, it would be hard to keep an eye on them.
If they snuck out, it could lead to unexpected problems.
Anyway, since they were in the city, letting them go out for a bit of fun was fine.
"Sure!" Both Anjia and Lorrey burst out energetically.
They ran off excitedly to find Aseti.
…
With Anjia gone, Fang Hao found some peace.
He asked for some fruit tea, lay down on his bed, and flipped open the Book of Lords to spend his time.
The disappearance of Li Zhenhu caused no stir in the channel.
Perhaps, the disappearance of anyone was seen as a perfectly normal phenomenon to everyone else.
"Selling a blue armor set. Only one set, first come first serve."
"Selling the [Fairy Wall Lamp Blueprint], private chat if interested."
"Tianmei Furniture City, selling all kinds of furniture. Accepting orders for customized furniture. If interested, private chat with the required size. Deposit required, pay on delivery, integrity guaranteed."
A streak of advertisements appear on the screen.
Fang Hao skimmed over them, saw no blueprint that he needed, and decided to temporarily block similar messages.
Swish!
The advertisements disappeared instantly, and people's chat appeared.
"Damn, I've had three waves of bandits here in five days, all here to steal food. If it wasn't for my troops, I would have been an easy target."
"Yes, we are all preparing for winter, cities have started to collect grains from villages."
"I have plenty of food. When the time comes, I can sell it at a discount to my brothers."
"Damn! The dwarves on my side are going mad, about to fight with me."
"Beat the crap out of them!"
"Beat the hell out of them."
"Why beat them? Would that not bring trouble to their loved ones, do you understand?"
"How to fight against them anyway? If we beat them, more will come, it's so annoying."
"I heard that nowadays many original inhabitants are catching transmigrators. If you can't deal with it, run. Anyway, never let them catch you."
Looking at this, Fang Hao furrowed his eyebrows.
He didn't know how many dwarf forces there were in this region. The dwarves like Bellerga were from Eight Peaks Mountain.
A while ago, there was a civil war in the Eight Peaks Mountain.
The internal factions fought, Bellerga's faction was driven out, and finally tamed by Fang Hao, settling in Blood Mountain Range.
He wondered if the dwarves mentioned in the channel were from Eight Peaks Mountain.
If they were, then the dwarves in power now would be too warlike.
Or maybe they didn't have enough reserves for the winter and needed to war externally to secure sufficient resources.
These dwarves really don't let people live in peace.
After watching the chat in the channel for a while,
he switched to the [Territory Channel].
At this time, the Territory Channel was very lively.
Since there's no limit to the number of messages one can send in this channel, people are more active.
As soon as he switched to this channel, the new member, Lan Yang, became the main driver of conversation.
Lan Yang: "I will perform a unique skill for you, Dentistry of a Tiger [Image]."
He also attached a picture.
In the picture, Lan Yang put his head into the mouth of the Golden Lion and made a terrified face, as if about to be eaten.
