Chapter 467 Chapter 467: Kyoto Food Crisis

At this time, Arturia and the knights and swordsmen finally arrived.

It happened to see the muzzle of the Vulcan cannon slowly turning, and then the electromagnetic magic circuit on the barrel lit up.

Hoo hoo...

There was a whistling sound, and a violent metal storm spewed out from the muzzle of the Vulcan Cannon.

The rate of fire is not as exaggerated as the Vulcan cannon on Earth, and it should be related to the charging of the barrel and the activation of the electromagnetic magic circuit.

The rate of fire is about 600 rounds per minute, only one-tenth of the real Vulcan cannon, but in this world, that is enough to be called terrifying.

A wave of metal storm surged in.

When a chain of ammunition is finished, the stone wall has become debris, and the iron plate is also called debris all over the ground.

Arturia couldn't help opening her mouth.

She envisioned a terrifying picture.

The knight group charged and was torn to pieces in front of this metal storm.

"The power of each bullet?" asked Aslan.

"Because of the increased caliber and lengthened barrel, each bullet can easily pierce through the fighting spirit armor of the great swordsman." Nigel said proudly.

Artoria couldn't help showing a dazed expression.

She had just begun to think that the way of warfare might have to change, and she was still thinking about changing the future of the knight order, when a new magic weapon appeared that made the knight's charge lose its important deterrent effect.

The times are advancing too fast.

Aslan nodded with a smile.

Mordred suddenly screamed, rushed up and grabbed Nigel's collar and said, "Where's our new equipment? What about the new equipment you promised to prepare for our Knights?"

Aslan hurriedly stopped his sister-in-law.

"What are you doing? Talk about something."

Mordred let go of Nigel with a face full of reluctance, and looked at Aslan with a lonely face.

"Brother-in-law! Is the era of knights coming to an end?"

As soon as these words came out, all the knight instructors present couldn't help showing sad expressions.

The knight instructors in Merlot City are not like those knights out there who don't understand anything and only concentrate on charging.

They are well aware of the power of spears and sticks, and a wave of explosive bombs can definitely knock the knights who are charging in groups dizzy.

Originally, they only had to think about the air magic brigade above the sky, but now they also had to think about dealing with this 'Vulcan Cannon', and whether they would give them a way out for the knights.

"The old era of knights has ended, and a new era of knights has just emerged." Aslan said with a smile on his face.

"A new age of chivalry?" Mordred's eyes lit up when he heard that.

Aslan nodded solemnly.

For a moment, not only Mordred, but other knights and swordsmen also turned their attention to Aslan.

Aslan smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't look at me that way, it's just the planning stage, I haven't fully designed it yet."

Hearing this, many people could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They had more trust in Aslan's planning ability than expected.

In the final analysis, it was Aslan's long-standing plan, the confidence brought by success after success.

As for Aslan himself, although he looked calm, there were countless grass-mud horses galloping in his heart.

The new era of knights, what the hell is that? He never thought about whether it would be good or not, because in his previous life, he had never developed such a heaven-defying battlefield killer like the Vulcan Cannon.

In his previous life, the territory had improved slightly, so he was only interested in tactics and women, but ignored the development of magic technology.

Aslan suddenly raised his head and looked at the Melo Dam in front of him.

The real reason for changing all this should be the Melo Dam in front of us.

Because of the development of electric elements, Melo city entered the electric age ahead of time, and various magic props and equipment driven by electric elements could be continuously developed.

After thinking about all this, the corners of Aslan's mouth rose slightly.

Merlo City will enter a new era.

Later, Essien and others saw the scene of electric furnace steelmaking, and at the same time, after knowing the advantages of the efficiency of electric furnace steelmaking, they almost jumped up excitedly. The existing steelmaking technology could not meet the construction needs of Merlot City at all. Not to mention the consumption of the two experimental workshops of the Melo Dam.

While Mellow City was cheering and cheering, the huge capital was full of gloom.

Whether it is the people or the nobles, even the little emperor Shani, who lives deep in the palace, is full of sadness.

The Kingdom of Cleveland is economically blocked by the Maxim Federation.

At the beginning, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not pay attention to the warning of the Maxim Federation, but now they are also aware of the viciousness of the Maxim Federation.

The Kingdom of Cleveland, which lost all the southern provinces, was equivalent to losing a stable source of food, so that the Kingdom of Cleveland could only rely on food imports.

After the locusts and drought that lasted for half a year, there was no food in the four places. The Cleveland province was fine, and there were still some grain stocks and the food sold in the Melox province, which could barely survive, but the other provinces had long been Hungry to death.

Although the Tianping Chamber of Commerce has already spread the protein cake business throughout the northern provinces, no matter how powerful the Tianping Chamber of Commerce is, it cannot spread the protein cake business to all areas in the northern provinces.

In fact, many countries have begun to resume production, but the output is not so optimistic, and they can barely support the local nobles and lords. There are even magisters who have established plantations and planted insecticidal barriers around the plantations, so that the people in the barriers crops are not threatened by locusts.

In fact, this method is now being implemented everywhere, but after all, there are not as many magicians as knights and swordsmen, and many of them can only rely on manpower to form a defense network.

In any case, the consumption of manpower and material resources is huge, but the grain output is not even one-tenth of previous years.

Fortunately, with the rise of the locust hunters, they caught locusts on a large scale and sold them to the Tianping Chamber of Commerce. They also cleaned up a large number of locusts in their area, so that farmers at least had a glimmer of life.

The most troublesome thing is the drought. Many places have died. Even if the locusts are caught, there is not enough water to resume production. Many places are even migrating on a large scale because of lack of water.

The food reserves in Kyoto are getting less and less. If the disaster continues for another six months, Kyoto will not be able to support it.

The little emperor Shani set an example, and now he only eats one meal a day, making other nobles suffer even more.

At the beginning of the food crisis, the little emperor and the regent reached an agreement tacitly to control the food in the entire capital, and even the food in the cellars of the noble mansions was harvested, only for the average distribution, and to ensure that people can survive to the maximum extent. .

It is precisely because of this move that Kyoto can barely maintain its existence. After all, the entire Kyoto metropolitan area has a population of more than 20 million.

If the province of Cleveland is not broken, the Kingdom of Cleveland may make a comeback at any time.
