Chapter 96 [Heavy Weapons]: Gatling Gun and Flamethrower!

"Interesting."

Luen opened the letter, glanced through it, and then couldn't help but chuckle.

The content of the letter was very simple. In the letter, Abern praised himself almost flatteringly, praising himself as the "mainstay" of the younger generation of Beloberg.

At the same time, he also explained that after the other party married Marquis Andrews, the daughter of the Lord of Beloberg, he would rule Beloberg as her husband.

Here, he hoped to get to know each other with Luen, establish a friendly relationship, etc.

Abern stated that as long as Luen could support him, he would definitely promote Luen in the future.

Luen put the letter aside, and little Carter picked it up curiously and took a look.

She has been studying hard to learn to read recently, and she can understand most of the content.

"What do you think?" Luen took the plate, cut a large piece of barbecue from the rolling skewer next to it, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Lisa's control of the heat, coupled with the fine pork and seasonings sent by Morton from the vineyard, created this pretty good delicacy.

The rich aroma of meat accompanied by the non-greasy fat entered the abdomen, and the satisfaction was overwhelming.

Little Carter sneered at the letter, "This guy just wants to get something for nothing!"

"By the way." Rune also cut a large piece of barbecue for Little Carter, watching her wolfing it down, "Sending me this kind of letter, Abern is a little anxious, and for me, this seemingly sincere letter is not as good as giving me 10,000 gold coins."

"30,000!" Little Carter said vaguely, "And for me and Lisa."

"Okay, then 30,000."

Rune didn't waste time on such imaginary things.

Drank a glass of red wine, and then took out many alchemical materials and parts from the storage space.

There is still one day before the Lord's Ceremony, and there are still 23 days of planned time, so he must not slack off.

He has sold all the previous messy items, plus the gold coins opened in the drifting purse, and a total of 9,145 gold coins!

In the eyes of ordinary people, it is a super huge sum of money!

Perhaps thousands of ordinary families, several generations can hardly earn so much money.

But if it is placed in the alchemy world, it is just like that.

The strong purchasing power of gold coins is based on the purchase of ordinary goods.

And those ordinary goods, unless they are fine products, such as water, wheat, and fish, can be easily obtained by alchemy or extraordinary abilities.

So in the eyes of alchemists and extraordinary people, they are not worth much.

But those alchemical materials and extraordinary items are hundreds of gold coins, and the slightly more expensive ones are thousands or tens of thousands of gold coins.

No matter how precious it is, it cannot be directly measured by the amount of gold.

Perhaps this is the disparity of the world.

The first thing Rune did after getting the money was to buy the materials for 5 "Ultimate Bombs lv.4", totaling 5,000 gold coins.

He supplemented the equipment for Carter and Lisa, including "a pair of strange flying knives, a piece of soft armor, and a short crossbow", totaling 900 gold coins.

Then he used up his quota at the "Military Exchange Office" and spent 1,000 gold coins to buy two blueprints.

The materials needed for the things on the blueprint cost another 2,000 gold coins.

1245 gold coins were left.

Then he exchanged for the pile in front of him.

Rune was so familiar with the process of making the ultimate bomb that he could make it with his eyes closed.

Five ultimate bombs were collected soon after.

Ever since he had fought with those powerful guys, Rune had completely suffered from "lack of firepower fear syndrome".

As long as there was no big killer in his backpack, he felt a little uneasy.

He had also decided that in the future, as long as he met a slightly more difficult opponent, he would start with "ultimate bomb" and end with "ultimate bomb".

To show respect.

Never do too much fancy things.

Then there were two drawings he exchanged from the military supply department.

Both were from the work of the great general of the empire, the alchemist saint "Forged Iron Army Aleister".

[K-7 heavy machine gun] [Spiritual fuel heavy flamethrower]

Two heavy combat-ready weapons!

The design drawings of these two weapons cost Rune one thousand gold coins, five hundred each, but their value is far more than that.

In addition to the price limit, they also have rank restrictions. It just so happens that Rune is only eligible to exchange for the rank of "Lieutenant Colonel".

The word "Heavy" fully highlights its role.

Rune once thought that a "Destiny Shotgun" would be able to accompany him to fight all enemies.

But the facts proved that he was naive.

The problems of the shotgun's slow reload and short shooting distance have gradually emerged in the battle.

Destiny is the first to bear the brunt of elite enemies, which is very powerful.

But to deal with those more powerful and grouped enemies, you still need these two guys in front of you! ——

[Alchemical Creation]: K-7 Heavy Machine Gun

[Level]: Lv.35

[Ability]: Effective range (450 meters), maximum range (800 meters), number of bullets fired per minute (500-6000 rounds) (adjustable)

[Features (Bullets)]: Bullets are made of low-grade Moro alloy and refined iron. Each bullet causes (300) points of physical damage to the enemy, with (20) penetration effect

[Features (Overheat)]: Every 60,000 rounds fired, the barrel will enter the (completely overheated) state and become damaged, requiring replacement

PS: The rotating machine gun will blast them all into slag!

——

[Alchemy Creation]: Spiritual Fuel Heavy Flamethrower

[Level]: Lv.36

[Ability]: Effective range (30) meters, maximum range (65) meters, consumption of spiritual liquid fuel (1 unit) per minute

[Characteristics (Spiritual Liquid Fuel)]: The flame temperature of the flamethrower is between 600-1200 degrees Celsius, with three entries: (adhesion) (flammable) (erosion)

PS: Burn all evils in the world! ——

The two pieces of alchemy equipment can be said to be targeted and maxed out.

All are powerful weapons for range attacks and multi-target attacks.

Looking at his two items, Lu En took a deep breath.

One is a six-wheel machine gun with a total length of 1359 mm and a caliber of 7.62 mm.

One is a double alchemical tube at the front end with a red fuel tank attached at the back, 1039 mm long.

Both weapons are very heavy. The former basically requires three ordinary adult men to operate it stably, while the latter also requires a well-trained Sequence 9 or above transcendent to control it, and is extremely heavy.

Their power is also obviously great.

This is a heavy weapon!

But at the same time, Rune encountered an old problem again. The consumption of these weapons was also extremely terrifying.

The bullet consumption of a heavy machine gun can reach up to 6,000 rounds per minute!

What a concept. And the bullets for this K-7 heavy machine gun are not cheap either. The material for one round costs 10 copper coins.

If you buy the finished product, you will get 13 copper coins per shot.

Luen also purchased a full 1,000,000 rounds of ammunition!

The heavy machine gun, with full firepower, can last for 166 minutes, which is enough to last for a while.

And the fuel for the flamethrower is even more expensive!

Spiritual liquid fuel is not only expensive but also limited in purchase.

Rune found the relationship with Castretto and was able to get 50 units.

Otherwise, with his military rank, he can only purchase 20 units of spiritual liquid fuel.

A unit of fuel costs 20 gold coins. It is said that the cost is higher than this, and it is sold to officers at a loss.

This technology of converting spiritual values ​​into liquids and solids cannot be measured by money.

Fortunately, Lu En also got some now.

Get two heavy weapons, plus a hundred upgraded electromagnetic grenades.

Rune has had a slight improvement.

The next day, the Lord's Ceremony.

"Lieutenant Colonel, you're here!" Castretto looked extremely excited when he saw Rune.

Today, he is wearing a tall white navy uniform and the knight's medal symbolizing the Vasek family. He is in high spirits.

Quite like the "prince" protagonist in some kind of novel.

But the moment his rune ran over, his painting style changed.

Like Lu En's little brother, he consciously stood behind Lu En and explained to the guests around him with a smile.

That attentive look made him want to light a cigarette for Lu En and polish his shoes.

On both sides were many distinguished guests, including people from the rumored "Lord Faction" whom Belloberg had never seen before, as well as guests from the "General Faction" whom they had seen at the Lion Cub Ceremony.

In addition, there is a group of people with dangerous auras who are wandering on the edge.

After seeing Lu En, these people all turned their eyes towards him.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

Even if these people have never seen Lu En's appearance, Lu En's outstanding temperament alone is enough to make them look at him with suspicion.

Not to mention, after they knew that this person was "Lu En", they became even more suspicious.

There are many looks, including appreciation, envy, and hatred.

Feeling the unkind gaze, Lu En turned around and saw a thin and pale man.

After just looking at each other for a second, the other person turned around and his breath quickly disappeared.

Like a poisonous snake hiding in the shadows.

Lu En memorized this person's appearance, and then looked straight ahead.

There was a row of conspicuous seats there.

Taking a closer look, Lord Andrews was demoted from the previous lord and inherited the title, becoming an Imperial Marquis.

In the empire, except for the royal family, when other principalities inherit, they all inherit by demotion, but the minimum will not be lower than that of a marquis.

As for whether he can return to the position of Duke in his lifetime, it all depends on the lord's own ability and contribution.

Many marquises also regard this matter as their lifelong pursuit and glory.

To the left of Andrews were Admiral Niels with a gentle smile, and Major General Ores with a cold face.

They were talking about something at this time, and the atmosphere was very good.

On the right side of Andrews is a blond man wearing aristocratic clothing with curled gold threads, and a woman wearing a white lace dress and a long top hat.

These two people should be "Wula", the lord's daughter, and Abern, the third son of the lord of the Renard Principality.

Lu En was not interested in them, but when he turned his eyes, he was slightly surprised.

Next to Wula, there was an empty seat, and the person sitting there was Lugard.

At this moment, Luke was radiant and there was no trace of illness at all.

He took a sip of red wine gracefully and nodded slightly towards Lu En.

At this time, Rune had already looked at everyone, and Castrituo, who was in his ear, also finished explaining everyone's background.

Lu En also learned some inside information from this.

The thin young man from before was a member of the mysterious organization "The Executioner".

The Executioner is independent of all systems and owes allegiance only to the Crown and the Lord.

It was a means for the early royal family to control the lord, and it was also one of the lord's trump cards.

As time goes by, the executioners now only obey the orders of the lord of the country.

There are not many executioners, but each of them is a tough guy.

As for the position of Lugard

The lord once had two daughters. The eldest daughter was Lugard's lover, and then died of illness.

At that time, Lugard and the lord's eldest daughter were only one step away from entering the marriage hall, but the result was not as expected.

Rune took Kasruto and found his seat to sit down.

The lord's ceremony officially began!

Gorgeous singing and dancing, joyful playgrounds, and laughing songs, the nobles were enthusiastic.

Aborn held Wu La's hand and put on the engagement ring in front of everyone, and everyone smiled.

The atmosphere here is completely different from the city under martial law. If Rune hadn't just returned from the front line and watched the soldiers die one by one.

He might not feel so different in his heart at this moment.

"I, Abian, will become Wu La's husband in the future, become her life helper, and support her father together." Abian saluted with a smile, unparalleled in the limelight.

The people below applauded and celebrated.

Abian entered the scene in a high-profile manner, with the background of the Principality of Renato, suppressing a group of people from the "general faction".

Whether it was to invite a wolf into the house or a clever means for the lord to check and balance, no one knew.

After the engagement ceremony, it was the annual highlight.

Honor ceremony!

Only those with the rank of "colonel" or above could have the honor to enter this ceremony.

Ordinary people who entered the Beloberg Navy had to start as ordinary soldiers.

Soldiers with excellent daily performance, qualified sequence level, and good strength could be promoted to "lieutenant".

From the second lieutenant up, "military merit" was needed to support.

Without military merit, no matter how strong your background was, you had to stay honestly.

From the second lieutenant to the major, the military merit required was difficult for ordinary soldiers to achieve.

Therefore, those who could become colonels had backgrounds and strength.

Becoming a colonel meant becoming the backbone of Beloberg.

As for the generals, just think about it.

At least the strength of Sequence 6, plus the incredible military merit, no matter which one, it is not easy.

It is even more difficult to achieve both at the same time.

So the general colonel is the ultimate dream of all soldiers.

The purpose of conferring titles to colonels is to get closer and recognize each other, and to reflect the ruling status of the lord.

All the colonels who participated in the conferment of titles were lined up, a total of twenty.

Among them, there was 1 colonel, 3 colonels, 7 lieutenant colonels, and 9 majors.

Rune was ranked fifth.

For Beloberg, which had no major wars in the previous year, twenty places were common.

If the war broke out, the number of people in the conferment ceremony would definitely be more than doubled.

"You are all pillars of my Beloberg, and I will have to work hard for you in the future."

Andrews said calmly, and issued medals to each colonel in order.

Abian helped very diligently on the side.

When it came to Rune, Andrews was still talking to the previous colonel, but Abian had already started to help Rune wear the medal.

His movements and expressions were all taken for granted.

But the next moment, his wrist was grabbed by Rune, and he couldn't move as if he was shackled by a thousand-pound spiritual shackle.

He looked at Rune with a surprised look, but his pupils trembled suddenly.

Rune's gaze was like a lion, reminding him not to cross the line.

When Andrews came to Rune, the episode between the two ended, and Andrews put the medal on Rune.

"Rune, you are the most outstanding among the younger generation of Beloberg, and you were promoted by Lugard. You should get closer to Abian in the future."

Andrews patted Rune on the shoulder,

"Young people are strong!"

"Definitely." Rune answered officially.

Ten minutes later, the awarding ceremony was completely over.

Rune and others came on stage, and after a show, they entered the banquet.

Little Carter had been brought in by Rune a long time ago. When Rune found her, the first sentence was "How did you get it?"

"Of course, a lot of gold cups and gold plates!" Little Carter and Rune both smiled cunningly.

When you come to the feast, traditional arts are indispensable.

After a night of joy, Rune returned to the alchemy workshop, took off his navy uniform and snuggled in the quilt.

The awarding ceremony took a day, but it was also very rewarding.

In addition to the medal, the awarded officers can also choose any one of [Gold Coins] [Black Tower Points] [Military Supply Department Amount] to receive the corresponding reward.

Rune chose Black Tower Points and received 3,000.

It just made up the fraction needed for the spiritual element transfer technique.

From tomorrow, a busy period will begin.

There are still 23 days left before the Hydra Plan is launched.

He must accumulate enough points before then to cultivate the spiritual element transfer technique.

Otherwise, under the pressure of the "demigod", he has no room for operation.

Now Rune is still short of 60,000 points. He must become a madman.

A madman who harvests points.
