A strange world

Chapter 783 Section 14. The Fourth Legion

It is an established fact that the Tatooine Empire forms a coalition force.

Annan hopes that he will be inconspicuous. It is best that the emperor looks down on Liberty City...

As it turned out, on the third day, "Lord Annan Reeves" was on the list of coalition forces published by the "Empire".

"With great power comes great responsibility..." Olmedo imitated what Annan once said.

Annan put down the newspaper: "I don't think we are very capable..."

"But we made too much money."

"Are you saying that someone is jealous of us!?" Annan's black eyes flashed with hatred, "If you find out, I suspect they are colluding with Ruikaner... no, colluding with the rat people!"

Edilia showed doting and tenderness: "If you don't want to, we can ask our ancestors..."

"never mind……"

Annan thought about it seriously and refused to avoid the fight: "The empire has always allowed us to make money and used the Montreal Golden Family as a protective umbrella. It just wants us to stand with him when necessary. Otherwise, why would the thirteen supreme kings play house with us? ?Just to make up for my guilt?"

It's not impossible to refuse...but the ancestors, Ou Lin and the others will definitely be disappointed with him.

Moreover, all the past indulgences of the empire will be taken back, and their territory will no longer be able to go smoothly.

After saying that, Annan saw Olmedo's unsurprised look: "Have you thought of it a long time ago?"

"You are asked to read the book but you don't. This is politics..." Olmedo sighed, "Everything that fate has given you has been secretly marked with a price."

"What happened to you today?" Annan asked suspiciously.

Olmedo pointed to an ancient book with a bookmark on the table: "I have been reading a book recently, and I have a lot of emotions. Do you want to——"

"I'm going to tell Fermi now! In person!"

Annan fled Olmedo's office without looking back.

Not long after, the city lord's palace issued a series of orders in Annan's name:

Cancel all vacations of the Hellfire Legion, cancel the plan to jointly clean up the banditry in the Principality of Montable Rock at the end of June, gather them all, and seize the time to train.

Annan put away his luck. Since you can't avoid it, show it off. Maybe I can earn some orders.

Banners like "Sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in war" and "The King of Liberty City is watching you" can be seen everywhere in the camp.

In addition to the Hellfire Legion, Olmedo has also formed an elite team that accompanied Annan to the Serens Mountains. They will set off with the Hellfire Legion.

The Hellfire Legion's combat power lies in their muskets and artillery, which is their most obvious weakness. If it's a sneak attack, a master can cause them heavy losses.

The chimney of the blacksmith shop began to spout black smoke nonstop, and the sound of hammering could be heard day and night.

In addition to guns and ammunition, the worn plate armor was also sent back to the blacksmith shop for re-forging.

The new magic guns, mushroom bombs, and knight golems that Annan had high hopes for were impossible to develop in a short period of time, but increasing the caliber of the magic artillery was possible, and it wasn't even difficult - shaping the orichalcum into the appearance of the magic artillery, and then it was done.

Orichalcum, which even legends find difficult to destroy and used by gods to build the cornerstone of the Kingdom of God, has no chance of exploding.

Its only disadvantage is that it is heavy and expensive.

Let's put it this way, the power of the 30 cm caliber magic artillery currently installed is approximately equal to the fireball spell released by the elite mage. The price of an elite mage in the mercenary hall is 3 to 7 gold coins per day.

But if the magic cannon's stainless steel barrel is replaced by orichalcum, the price will be almost 300 gold coins, even if there is only one layer.

And there are two problems: the larger the caliber, the greater the power. Martin understands this. But the disadvantages are increased weight and reduced range.

Annan finally adopted Bronzebeard's suggestion: setting the caliber of the first orichalcum magic cannon to 50 centimeters, which would not increase too much weight or lose too much range, but would ensure that there would be no complete corpse of the Rat Man.

Orichalcum is difficult to shape, but it doesn’t matter. As a customer, Annan can ask Wilhelm to shape the orichalcum sent into the shape they need.

"I have another idea."

Annan used coal to draw the shape of the magic gun on the ground, but the barrel was shorter and the muzzle was thicker...

"Make another batch of orichalcum magic muskets, double the caliber."

Orichalcum is really a good thing...Annan is not limited by the strength of the material at all.

Just because of the terrifying recoil, this weapon can only be used by professionals, that is, centurions and above.

This way officers can quickly deal with enemies below the elite level.

After all, elites are just stronger and will die if they are hit.

Annan went to the mushroom house again.

Of the thirty goblin golems, except for one that was still in the swamp, the remaining twenty-nine were neatly placed in the mushroom house.

Knowing that the goblin golems would follow them onto the battlefield, Dumbledore wanted to change the appearance of the twenty-nine goblin golems first.

But as soon as some of the external structures of the goblin golem were removed, a problem arose: the goblin golem suddenly failed to start.

Dumbledore had no idea what the problem was and even broke into a cold sweat.

"Do you want to put these back together first?" Annan picked up the scattered external structures and tried to put them back into place.

"It's just a useless piece of metal, it should..."

Click.

After installing the last piece, the eyes of the silent goblin golem suddenly glowed again.

"what happened……"

Dumbledore couldn't understand it at all. This is not magic at all. It's like a mage who can't cast spells can suddenly cast spells after changing his position.

"It's okay, I don't understand either." Annan next to him said, "But did you know? Susan Spinning Machine has always had the habit of praying before starting work. They believe that this will greatly reduce the failure rate. This ritual has spread to Legion, soldiers would sleep with their magic guns in their arms, and the result was that explosions and jamming were greatly reduced... I think this should be similar."

Leaving the thoughtful Dumbledore behind, Annan walked out of the mushroom house.

He was not in a hurry to leave, and held an umbrella to the bank of the river, which was simply named Wheat River.

The river became turbulent due to the gloomy rainy day, and a boundary monument stood on the other side - it represented the floating range of Liberty City.

He stood here for a while and met Olmedo and others who came from the wheat fields in the north wearing raincoats.

"Are you waiting for me?"

"Well, I want to form a fourth legion."

Others stayed away voluntarily. Annan and Olmedo stood on the bank of the rushing river and talked about the prototype of the Fourth Army.

"I want the fourth legion to be composed of alien races. We can put dragons, orcs, elves, and even goblins in it."

"What is the duty of this legion?"

"Special operations. Beheadings, assassinations, investigations, whatever they can to their advantage."

"Are you going to let them set off with the Hellfire Legion?"

"Well, if there's time."
