I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 207 Magic Firearms

After the battle, Henry arrived with his reinforcements. He witnessed Alpha's victory and couldn't help but cheer. Alpha smiled and walked forward to celebrate this hard-won victory with Henry and other knights.

"Lord Alpha, you are truly the glory of our Gust family!" Henry said with emotion.

"No, this is the joint efforts of everyone." Alpha responded humbly, "Without your heroic fight and firm belief, we would not have achieved such a brilliant victory."

Just as Alpha was celebrating his victory, a clear sound suddenly rang out. Alpha was very familiar with the source of this sound.

He turned around suddenly and looked at his body, only to see that he had been shot in the shoulder. However, because he was wearing soft armor and was at a long distance, the bullet did not penetrate his body, but this still frightened Alpha into a cold sweat.

Looking at the enemy's musketeers, Alpha's worst fear came true. The lost pistol seemed to have a replica.

"Shield, shield, hold on!" Alpha shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing across the battlefield, as if it was about to break through the sky. His knights were well-trained, and responded quickly after hearing the order, raising their shields like an indestructible wall to resist the enemy's tidal attacks.

These shields are made of heavy wood and hard iron sheets, and are carefully crafted by craftsmen to be extremely strong. They are not only the knights' defensive tools, but also the symbols of their courage and faith. Under the protection of the shields, Alpha and his knights carefully observe the enemy's movements and look for opportunities to counterattack.

Alpha knew that although the enemy's muskets were powerful, they had a slow reload speed and limited range. As long as they could seize the enemy's weakness and get close to the enemy, they could turn the tide of the battle. His eyes flashed with determination, and his heart was filled with determination and courage.

"Surround them and kill them!" Alpha gave the order again. His voice was like a war drum, inspiring the knights' fighting spirit. They were like a group of tigers, launching a fierce attack on the enemy with the force of thunder. The sound of horse hooves resounded throughout the battlefield, and the dust flew, as if it was going to swallow up the whole world.

Although the warriors of the Orff family were well-trained, they began to appear powerless under the fierce attack of the Alpha Knights. Their formation gradually loosened and their morale also declined. However, the Orff family was a powerful family after all, and they would not give up easily.

"Lord Alpha, that's the magic pistol from the auction house. I didn't expect they had five of them!" Henry walked up to Alpha and whispered. An envious expression appeared on his face, and his eyes revealed his desire for such a powerful weapon. After all, magic weapons are treasures that every warrior dreams of.

Alpha nodded slightly, and his eyes were also attracted by the five magic pistols emitting mysterious light. The power of these pistols was amazing. Not only did they have strong lethality and a range of hundreds of meters, but they were also extremely accurate, and almost every bullet could hit the target. On the battlefield, they were undoubtedly a weapon for victory.

Alpha knew that his factory also had similar weapons technology. However, due to restrictions on use and cost, this weapon was not mass-produced. He had never expected that the enemy would be the first to use it in battle, which really surprised him. You know, even this world-class family can hardly afford the cost of mass-producing and using this weapon.

However, now is not the time to think about these things. Their current priority is to concentrate their energy and deal with the enemy in front of them. Alpha brandished his sword, led his knights in the final charge, and under his heroic leadership, they successfully repelled the attack of the Orf family.

The bodies of the enemies were lying in a pool of blood, and the blood dyed the whole street red. Alpha and his knights stood on the battlefield, exhausted but with a firm look in their eyes. They stared at the fruits of victory in front of them, which they had earned with their blood, sweat and courage.

"Let's go." Alpha picked up the five pistols and prepared to take them back. As for the corpses on the ground, he did not intend to deal with them personally, but handed the trouble to the local forces. This is the power of money.

After returning to the Gust family's territory, Alpha began to compile a detailed report on the operation. At the same time, he was also thinking about how to achieve large-scale application of firearms. He understood that the emergence of this weapon would change the pattern of war, but in order to fully play its role, a series of problems needed to be solved, such as production costs and training soldiers. In the days to come, Alpha will face more challenges and tests.

"Lord Alpha, do you mean that our magic guns have been successfully copied by others?" The monkey looked at the magic gun that was disassembled into parts on the table with surprise and asked Alpha.

"Yes, judging from the structure of this magic pistol, it was indeed copied by someone." Alpha carefully compared the structures of the two magic pistols and found that except for the slightly different sizes, the other parts were basically the same, with only slight differences in the ammunition.

"Lord Alpha, I got this from the auction house. It cost me one thousand gold coins, and the ammunition needs to be purchased separately. Each bullet costs ten gold coins. However, I can't use it because it requires an intermediate knight to operate it." Liv also returned to Alpha with a magic pistol.

"Oh my God! Ten gold coins? That's an ordinary person's annual income! A bullet is so expensive!" The monkey couldn't help but sigh. He himself came from a poor family and it was hard for him to imagine that a bullet would cost so much.

"In addition to the high cost of use, there are also restrictions on users, which also makes it difficult to use on a large scale. However, in terms of shooting accuracy and penetration ability, it is better than our third-generation magic pistol." Alpha came to this conclusion through experiments. This batch of magic pistols all use energy crystal powder, which has better combustion efficiency and explosive energy than the combination of Alpha gunpowder and energy powder, so the firing power is greater, and the penetration and bullet performance are also better.

"Liv, Monkey, notify Rimuru later and ask them to send over 100 sets of Winged Knight equipment and 100 third-generation magic spears. At the same time, make a batch of alloy shields." Alpha knew that the magic pistol had been manufactured, so he no longer concealed it.

In terms of the cost of using firearms, Alpha's advantage is very obvious, their cost is less than one percent of the other party. This allows Alpha to use firearms on a large scale, and the long-range power of firearms is unmatched by bows and arrows.

"The appearance of the magic pistol is like a sword of Damocles hanging over our heads, bringing us unprecedented challenges." Alpha's eyes revealed deep worry, as if he could see through the crisis hidden in the darkness. "Its imitation means that our technology may have been leaked, which will pose a serious threat to our security. We must be highly vigilant and never take it lightly."

In order to meet this challenge, Alpha made a prompt decision to invest more resources in in-depth research. He quickly organized an elite team to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the working principle and weaknesses of the magic pistol.

During the research, Alpha, with his keen insight and profound technical attainments, discovered that the energy core of the magic pistol was the key. If he could find a clever way to destroy the energy core, he could fundamentally weaken the power of the weapon. So he immediately began to develop a special energy interference device.

At the same time, Alpha also deeply realized that when facing an enemy with a magic pistol, the importance of tactics and combat skills is self-evident.

"We can't just rely on the advantages of equipment. We also need to improve the combat quality of our soldiers." Alpha said to Monkey and Liv earnestly, "We need to let them master various combat skills, especially flexible tactics when dealing with magic pistols."

After a period of hard work, Alpha and his team finally made a major breakthrough. The energy jammer they successfully developed not only effectively interfered with the energy core of the magic pistol within a certain range, making it lose its combat capability, but also added a solid barrier to the soldiers' defense.

In addition, Alpha did not stop there. He knew that in a fierce battle, the quality of equipment often determines the outcome. For this reason, Alpha carefully improved the equipment of the Winged Knight, making it more powerful in defense so that it could calmly deal with the attack of the magic pistol.

After a series of careful research and development, the alloy shield was finally successfully manufactured, which added a solid barrier to the soldiers' safety protection.

Alpha said with a firm look, "We must plan ahead and make all-round preparations to deal with various possible threats. The appearance of the magic pistol is just the beginning. There may be more difficulties and obstacles waiting for us in the future. But as long as we persevere in our efforts, we will be able to overcome difficulties and defend our homeland."

During this time, Gunn also conducted in-depth research on firearms response strategies. He pointed out: "According to existing research results, the magic pistol's effective killing distance for ordinary armor is within 50 meters, and the killing distance for advanced armor is within 30 meters. It is completely unable to break through the defense of special armor and heavy armor. Therefore, we need to conduct targeted training based on the effective distance."

"Okay, I'll write it down. For the advanced armor, which is our Silver Wing Armor, I will ask for the defense of key parts to be strengthened in the future. At the same time, equip the team's front-line knights with alloy shields." Alpha quickly made defensive adjustments.

Darwin made new progress in the field of magic research. He said: "We have studied the structure of the magic pistol in depth and found that its core part is the energy triggering device. As long as this key part is destroyed, the magic pistol cannot be activated. Based on this, we have created a special explosive weapon based on the principle of magic grenade. The explosion range of this weapon is ten meters. Magic weapons cannot be used within this range, of course, except for those that have been activated. Of course, the effect is the same. Our magic pistol cannot be used within the explosion range."

"Very good, I will arrange for more magic grenades to be dispatched from the rear." Compared to magic guns, the manufacturing process of magic grenades is simpler and can meet the demand more efficiently.

At this moment, Henry came running over and said, "Lord Alpha, someone from the Cross Guard wants to see you."

Alpha was very confused when he heard this. After all, he had been in Cross for less than a week and had not done anything out of the ordinary.

"Henry, do you know what it is?" Alpha asked with a frown.

"Lord Alpha, I don't know." Henry answered truthfully. After he saw the people from the Security Department, he came to report immediately and did not know the specific situation.

"How many people are here? Is there an arrest warrant?" Alpha began to think. He only did two things in Cross. One was an internal affair of the Gust family, which had little impact. The other was related to Gorbachev of the Orff family. Although he defeated Gorbachev's knights before, he let Gorbachev escape. He was afraid that this matter was related to the Orff family.

"There are five of them, and they seem to want you to go back and assist in the investigation. They are drinking tea in the living room right now." Henry explained quickly.

"Okay, I got it. I'll be there in a moment." Alpha didn't take it to heart.

"Darwin, come with me to meet them." Alpha called Darwin alone, not because of the matter of the Security Bureau, but because of some other important matter.

"Can the restricted magic weapons you mentioned earlier actually restrict magic and fighting spirit?" Alpha suddenly changed the subject.

Alpha is well aware that there is magic and fighting spirit in this world. Especially when they reach a high level, their power can destroy the world. To him, it is like the Sword of Smoker hanging over his head at all times.

"Lord Alpha, you should know that such behavior will be encircled and suppressed by all forces on the continent. Once exposed, we will surely die." Even Darwin was shocked by Alpha's idea.

"If we want to create a world of equality, peace and freedom, anything that goes beyond the boundaries and rules should not exist. If we want all beings to be equal, we must eradicate all existences that go beyond the rules." Alpha said this with great awe, but only Alpha knew that it was because he was weak.

"Actually, I have also been studying this, but I just haven't found the direction. This time, I found inspiration in restricting magic weapons." Darwin is not a rule-abiding person.

"Okay, after this is done, I'll find a place for you to do the experiment." The two of them had already walked into the living room. They could only end this outrageous topic and embrace the rules of this world again.

In this world, rules are everywhere, like an invisible net that covers everyone. Alpha and Darwin know that if they want to change the world, they must find a breakthrough within the framework of rules. Although their conversation has ended, their thinking has not stopped. They will continue to explore and find a way to make the world more equal, peaceful and free.

Perhaps, this method is hidden in their challenge and breakthrough of the rules; perhaps, they need more time and energy to find the key to the ideal world. In any case, their determination and courage will become their driving force to move forward, leading them to create a world of their own in this world full of rules.
