Outworld: Rise of an Industrial Empire

Heinz led Cole to his team's station, where a shooting range had already been prepared, and cannons and muskets were already on display.

"Look, my lord! This is what they call artillery.

Heinz said as he pointed to the lump of iron in front of him on two wheels.

"How?" asked

Cole, pointing to the cannon and looking at Heinz, who waved his hand and a soldier walked up and filled the cannon with gunpowder, fuses, and solid projectiles.

Subsequently, the artilleryman raised a torch and lit the fuse.

Cole narrowed his eyes and stared at the burning lead, while the middle-aged duke scratched his head and looked at the cannon suspiciously.

The

middle-aged duke, frightened by the sudden loud noise and firelight, sat directly on the ground and looked at the cannon in front of him in horror.

"This, this, this—"

Cole's eyes widened, and then he grabbed the soldier who had just operated the cannon.

The soldier struggled in pain as he felt a burning sensation coming from his arm.

"Mortal too... Mortal indeed...."

Cole was once again sure that the man who operated the cannon this time was as mortal as the man who communicated to him in the capital.

"Your Excellency, please keep watching!"

Heinz waved his hand again, and then 50 soldiers, lined up in a phalanx, walked up.

"Ready to shoot!"

Cole looked at the phalanx for a moment, then looked at the burning stick in the hands of these soldiers, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, could it be that there was a small cannon in each person's hand?

Then the soldiers opened fire one after another, which was very different from the coordination of the grenadier phalanx of Su Xincheng.

However, Cole understood the intentions of the soldiers, and looked at the phalanx with constant gunfire and fire.

"This... So many magicians!"

the middle-aged duke looked at this scene in shock, he had seen magicians, and he had also seen a high-level magician who could use the fireball technique from afar, but this time, he was so close and saw so many 'magicians'! He was shocked for a moment and stayed in place.

"These are muskets, and what they call grenades—"

"No need to demonstrate, I see..."

Cole waved his hand, then looked around the cannon.

If you stand in front of the cannon and don't move, let the cannon fire a cannon is enough to kill your current self. And those muskets, such non-stop shooting, can also kill themselves, and the source of law in their bodies is close to being exhausted.

Of course, if you go back to Zhongzhou to recover for a while, you can easily face these things.

Cole looked at the cannon and pondered for a moment, then turned to the middle-aged duke and said,

"Prepare the horses.... Let's go to Suxincheng right away!".

As the sun began to rise in the east, Cole rode out of the camp and headed southwest.

The middle-aged duke, Heinz and others also rode up to catch up.

Cole rode his horse along the post road, and there were many caravans and pedestrians along the way.

Suddenly, Cole stopped, stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look behind him, where a team was slowly moving in the direction of Nordingus.

Cole recalls that as he walked past the group, he seemed to see something familiar.

At this time, the Duke and Heinz and others, who were following Cole, also chased after him, and just as they were about to ask Cole what had happened, Cole turned his horse's head and ran towards the passing procession.

Fortunately, although the team was riding horses, they were just walking slowly, and the leader was still drinking wine and enjoying the scenery along the way.

Cole caught up with the group, and soon saw the muskets they were carrying.

Cole then sped up to the front of the group and stopped it.

"What's the matter, this gentleman?" asked

Zhang Yi, who was at the front of the line, towards Cole.

"Are you from Suxincheng?" Cole asked directly, Zhang Yi was stunned when he heard this, then nodded, and then continued to ask:

"What's wrong

?" "I take the liberty of asking, are you a soldier of Suxincheng?" "

Ahhh What's wrong?"

Faced with Cole's question, Zhang Yi was a little confused, so he could only reply.

Seeing that Zhang Yi did not reveal his identity, Cole directly took out the magic token, and after showing his magic power, he directly identified himself and said

, "I am the chief prime minister of the Xinqiong Empire!"

Zhang Yi looked at Cole with some surprise, and hurriedly gave him a knightly salute.

"It's rude

!" "Can you tell me what you're going to do now?"

Zhang Yi smiled slightly, clasped his hands to his chest and said

, "Looking for you!" "

Presumptuous! You pariah, dare to speak to the prime minister in such a tone!".

The middle-aged duke and Heinz had already caught up, and the duke also heard Zhang Yi say that he was a commoner, and when he saw Zhang Yi's attitude towards the prime minister, he yelled at Zhang Yi angrily.

Cole raised his hand to stop him, squinted at Zhang Yi and said,

"You're looking for me... What are you doing

?" Zhang Yi smiled and said, "The Prime Minister is in such a hurry to rush to the southwest, he must have known the existence of the musket, right?"

As he spoke, Zhang Yi

took out the pistol on his waist and shook it, Cole took a deep breath and nodded.

"I'm looking for you, on behalf of His Royal Highness Su Zheng, to talk to you about a business!"

received a positive reply from Cole, and Zhang Yi also directly expressed his intentions.

When Heinz heard Zhang Yi's words, he was shocked and felt a little bad.

Hearing this, Cole squinted his eyes and asked

, "Business, what business

?" Zhang Yi made a gesture of invitation to the grass next to

him and said, "Can you talk alone?"

Cole glanced at the two people behind him, nodded and said

, "Okay, no problem"

Then the two rode away from the post road, and the middle-aged duke and Heinz also heard the conversation between the two of them.

Heinz suddenly felt that something was wrong, but now Zhang Yi and his people had surrounded the two of them and loaded the gun in their hands.

After Cole and Zhang Yi moved away from the post road, they began to talk.

Cole was the first to speak

: "Before talking about business, I want to ask, how did this thing you call gunpowder come about?"

Hearing Cole's inquiry, Zhang Yi rolled his eyes, thought for a while, and said:

"This.... It doesn't hurt to tell you, a very, very powerful sorceress has told our Highness how to make it.

Zhang Yi remembered that Cole was a magician, although he didn't have much mana now, and the grenadiers had the strength to fight with him, but in order to prevent Cole from going to the Magic Empire to ask for reinforcements, Zhang Yi panicked.

And Cole was also stunned when he heard Zhang Yi's explanation, and even thought of Her Royal Highness the princess in Mary's mouth.
