Chapter 270 The Flood of the Times
The chaotic struggle ignited endless chaos to the east of the World's Edge Mountains, and the mountains spanning the northern and southern ends of the continent cut through the flames of war on the other side of the world.
The dwarf cities in the mountains at the edge of the world are as peaceful as yesterday. Occasionally, there are local conflicts between small groups of greenskins and dwarf caravans, but it has nothing to do with the overall situation. The insignificant sentient beings are just ants on the chessboard.
To the west of the mountains, the changes in Kislev have begun irreversibly, and the tranquility of the empire is just the eve of the storm.
Further to the west of the empire, the Kingdom of Bretonnia across the Gray Mountains is about to undergo a new great change, and the shadow of turmoil is roaming throughout the Kingdom of Knights.
The invisible will slid across the southern end of the Gray Mountains, skipping the Tilian Peninsula that was split into cities, and playfully looked down at the dwarves living in the Black Mountains.
The black mountains extending eastward from the Gray Mountains and the branches extending westward from the World's Edge Mountains cut through the Empire and the Border Princes Territory. They are the Empire's natural defense line against the Badlands.
Changes and disasters will affect these short people, and all resistance will die in the change.
It passed through the war-torn Border Princedom and continued southward across the green sea of the Badlands.
The desert is still peaceful, and there is no movement in the jungle further south of the desert.
Everything is going according to plan. Except for that damn Chaos Storm in Norsca!
The will to change rises high into the sky, leaving everything in the world behind.
This will rushed out of the mirror and returned to the dying old man holding the pen. The world was still quietly inside the crystal mirror.
The God of Mirrors picked up the mirror, threw it aside casually, and then found the projection of the Norsca Peninsula. According to the content of the projection, it leaned over the center of the long table from time to time and added a few strokes to the yellowed pages that were spread out.
There were no plants in the Norscan wilderness, and even if there were any, they were deformed carnivorous species. The suspension engine drove quickly on the ice sheet, and Lynch quickly found traces of the Chaos army.
The number of Chaos Humans was so great that the Lizardmen couldn't believe it, and the entire snowfield was occupied by them.
This seems to be the rear of the army, the scattered soldiers gathered behind the main force.
Lynch got out of the suspension engine and broke into the cold wind.
Since he had no troops to command, he did not bear the emblem of Taranxra.
In order to prevent the Chaos mutation from twisting his teammates into beastmen, Lynch refused the dwarf's request to accompany him and assigned him the task of guarding the interior of the engine.
Thorian stood seriously behind the entrance, put on his ancestral armor, and watched the lizard people go away.
After Lynch jumped off the pyramid, he raised the suspension engine to high altitude.
Before engaging the main force of the Chaos Warriors, they would most likely not be attacked. Although the Norscan Marauders were numerous, they did not even have a manticore.
This is just a vulture following a tiger.
The few Chaos Wizards were easily defeated by Teclis's spell. The Elf Mages did not dare to squander the magical winds full of Chaos Storm, and even devoted their energy to channeling the magic power and guiding them into the "Maelstrom".
But without using all his strength, the Archmage can also summon strands of war magic.
There was no organized mage group or equally powerful mage to restrain him. Tufts of fire rain fell, and thunderstorms descended, clearing out most of the miscellaneous soldiers very efficiently.
Lynch didn't waste time on the Chaos Reavers, he had to find more valuable targets.
"Gunpowder will gain an unshakable status! The new gunpowder will become a nightmare for the greenskins and Norscans. Even giants and dragons will have to bow to the roar of artillery! Gentlemen, a new era is coming!"
"Who would be stupid enough to fight those monsters with close-quarters weapons? No offense, knights, venerable disciples of Ulric, you are the great guardians of the empire, but new gunpowder is taking your place."
"The dwarves lack the intention to industrialize. The elves hold exquisite bows and swords and are unwilling to put down their bodies to touch truly lethal weapons. Now, under the witness of Sigmar, I reveal this fact to you, the gentlemen present."
"We are about to surpass those so-called ancient races, and we are the winners in the competition!"
"As long as our engineers make larger-caliber artillery, even a mountain can be leveled by humans with gunpowder!"
In the Empire's Wesen Territory and Nunn City, a speech came to an end in the attention of the upper class, but the aftermath it brought had just spread to all directions.
A great engineer and a rookie bachelor of the Imperial Academy of Engineering, Midir improved the steam engine, simplified and optimized its structure, no longer adopted the traditional methods of the dwarves, and completely embarked on humankind's own path, making it easier to promote.
Steam engines will be more widely used in human society, not just installed in bulky steam tanks.
This move made the Imperial Engineering College completely surpass the Imperial Gunnery College and stand at the forefront of engineering progress.
And this scholar's achievements are not limited to this.
Midir gunpowder will soon be mass-produced by the assembly line to replace the old gunpowder.
Although there were many accidents along the way, it seemed that there were invisible enemies blocking human progress, and even Master Midiel himself was assassinated.
But this scholar seems to have some premonition, which may be a revelation from Sigma. He has already made a record. One of the records was even obtained by Wolan, the "Supreme Master of the Imperial Academy of Magic", who was a direct disciple of the elf mage Teclis. Keep it close to you.
The original assembly line suffered a mysterious fire and was destroyed in the explosion. Many people involved died mysteriously, and the Elector almost gave up supporting the progress of the project.
But two months ago, resistance disappeared as mysteriously as it had arrived.
It seems that there is some kind of existence that diverts the attention of the invisible thing and makes it no longer pay attention to the progress of mankind. Many rumors believe that this is related to the tsunami more than a month ago.
When there is abnormal movement in the sea, all resistance disappears. Perhaps humans should thank Manavi for his blessing. The Poseidon believers in Marienburg claimed this.
The Sigma believers present simply paid their respects to the people who passed away, and humanity finally completed cross-level progress.
The bullets made from Midir gunpowder have been tested and can easily penetrate thick plate armor. After conversion, it can completely penetrate the demon armor of the Chaos Warriors.
If the caliber of the artillery is large enough, the Midir shell can even easily flatten a hill.
"Your claims are wrong. Facts will prove that we are right. Knowledge should be used and it should not be restricted."
"The Lord of Change will pay more attention to us! You should not start the change! You are the only one left. Doesn't this prove that you are wrong?"
"Midier is dead! Yako is dead! Jost is dead too! Everyone is dead! Hahaha~ We don't need to split anymore, because you are the only one left in the radical faction of "Light of Doom"!
No, there are only three of us left in "Light of Doom". It was your stupidity that made "Master of Death" focus on "Light of Doom". Klaus, are you satisfied? "
"We won! You cowards, Midiel's sacrifices are meaningful! If we don't make changes, this world will perish, and we will die too!"
