Chapter 36 Under the Beacon Smoke City

Lecia's caravan spent three days in Evert City, advertising with a raffle and then using consolation prizes to promote their candy.

There is no demand to create demand. The residents of Shirogi County have rarely eaten such a mellow and sweet candy. The first time they try it now naturally leaves a deep impression.

For many organisms, sugars are the product of evolutionary processes that induce feelings of happiness and pleasure in the nerves. Even in the modern society in Loren Hill's memory, this is still the case. Under the competition of various entertainment activities and food, sweetened milk tea, cola, scented tea and other beverages still have a strong appeal.

In today's world where entertainment is scarce, the happiness brought by sugar can be described as rare. Of course, the price is not cheap. The raw materials and processes of sugar production have always been expensive.

There are not many natural sources of sweetness. Before the varieties are improved, many fruits are not sweet, and it is not easy to extract sugar. The most common sweet is honey, but the yield of this kind of thing is also very low.

In the distant past, the discovery of the New World was largely for the sugar cane industry, producing white gold, sugar.

It's hard to imagine what kind of era a person can't eat sweet things once a year. With such expectations, in the past, candy and fairy tales were often linked. (like halloween or something)

Therefore, in this era, sugar is still a delicacy that can only be enjoyed by a small number of people.

------------

After the event, many residents in the city knew about the Lagertis Chamber of Commerce, and they bought some candy in the special event. Although it was not many, it was a rare gift to put it at home and give it to the children.

"If you want to buy it in the future, you can go to the Kut jewelry store in the city, where there are all kinds of candies that we consign."

"Finally, everyone is welcome to participate in this event!"

As the voice fell, a slight fireworks started, and ribbons, flower paper, and some free candies were sprinkled from the air, and then there were bursts of cheers from the venue.

"awesome!"

"It's delicious, I still want it." A child said with candy.

Lesia looked at the scene in front of her with a faint smile on her face, then got on the carriage next to her, and then drove out of the city gate with the team.

This event is quite famous. On the last day, the Commerce and Trade Bureau in the city sent several people to review it, for fear that they would make some tricky operations. Fortunately, everything was normal in the end, so there was no blocking or interception.

Then move on to the next stop.

The redecorated convoy unloaded a batch of candy and put it on consignment in a jewelry store, and then purchased a batch of fine birch wood, and set off for the northern provinces.

The rolling plains are undulating with high ground, and the narrow path spreads into the distance. In the open field, a motorcade slowly moves forward in the morning light.

------------

Black Rock Principality.

Three airships came from one side of the sky, and they slowly landed outside a city in the mountains. Then, as the stairs descended, the soldiers unloaded boxes of heavy wooden boxes from the airship.

The long-awaited support from the 'Halber Sect' has finally arrived.

According to the treaty between Frostrose and it, they will provide the Halberds with the latest and most sophisticated weapons.

A spear was inserted into the gap of the wooden crate, and then it was pressed hard. With a bang, the sawdust flew up, and then the wooden board was pried open, revealing the weapon wrapped in oiled paper and straw inside.

The black matte special weapon is slender and heavy, but the surface is very smooth, and it feels like a carefully crafted art.

This is the fruit of the frost rose, the magic crystal gun.

In a meeting room in the city.

Several mages shrouded in robes are docking with these mercenary leaders.

"A total of 800 magic crystal guns, 2,000 muskets, 100,000 rounds of magic crystal ammunition, and 500,000 rounds of musket ammunition were shipped here."

"This is the first aid promised, and if you can unite the whole territory, the second aid will arrive soon."

"Don't even have artillery? What's the use of these, they were shot into hedgehogs by those bows and arrows before they got close." A mercenary captain complained nonchalantly.

These mages raised their eyes and looked at the unpleasant man, and then they recruited a soldier who followed the airship.

"Show this group of people the power of the magic crystal gun."

"Yes, my lord!" the soldier in the black uniform answered loudly.

Then he picked up a magic crystal gun, skillfully pulled the bolt, then loaded it, and pressed a conical ammunition with an engraved pattern into it.

A group of people came outside the house and watched the soldier aim at an unmanned boulder in the distance, about 300 meters apart, with an x ​​drawn on it.

As the soldier pulled the trigger, a gunshot rang out, and the solid boulder in the distance shattered into pieces.

The surprised mercenary captains came to the stone and searched for a while, only to find the broken stone with an x ​​drawn just now. There is a dented and cracked bullet, and some white powder remains in it.

"This is the power of the magic crystal gun." said the mage on the side.

"In order to deal with the many extraordinary people in the Green Empire, we have developed this kind of weapon that ordinary people can use."

"A Sequence 6 Transcendent may be difficult to hit, but a Sequence 4 and below, a salvo will be seriously injured and lose the ability to fight, and even a Sequence 5 will not dare to be easily exposed to the concentrated fire of the magic crystal gun. , once he cannot escape, death is the inevitable end."

"

Perhaps you are still a little hesitant, but we, the Frost Rose Alliance, will also tell the world that new powers will surely revolutionize the world, and the Seven Kingdoms of Xuehua will inevitably fall under the same banner, and defeating the Green Empire is our destiny and our destiny. future inevitability. "

"Yes, that's why we chose to unite."

After the inspection, these mercenary leaders also became serious. They have been running around all year round, and naturally they understand the confidence of the Frost Rose Alliance. With excellent technology and access to resources, the rise of this alliance has become predictable. fact.

The battle in the mountains started again, but this time it was completely different from before.

Under the cover of a few golems, the army of the halberd faction quickly approached the city gate. With the regular gunshots, the smell of gunpowder smoke filled the battlefield, and then a large hole was broken under the ancient and strong fortress.

Teams of iron-clad soldiers wielding halberds filed in. These heavily armed soldiers entered the school of fish with nowhere to escape like sharks, wantonly besieging and killing the vulnerable enemies in the city.

The defenders, who lacked armor and lacked training in the melee team, could only disperse all the way, and even took the initiative to open the city gate on the west side and flee towards the grassland.

But soon, the enemies in the rear continued to kill, these light cavalry armed with halberds, chasing the fleeing enemies, knocking them down one by one, and constantly clearing and besieging these former defenders.

Since the Mercury Dynasty, Fengyan City, which has been alone in the north for thousands of years, has finally been broken into the hands of its own compatriots.
