The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1709 480: Arming the Allies of the Great Graveyard_2

And at that moment, he was stunned once again.

All he could see in the empty gun chamber were faint spiral patterns, but not a trace of residual gunpowder!

No need to clean the chamber—

You can directly load the next shot!

Realizing this, Edward no longer hesitated. Almost instinctively, he picked up the second paper cartridge from the table.

His movements were clumsy, yet extremely swift, and he quickly stuffed the bullet into the chamber, pulled the metal lever, and took aim again!

"Bang—!"

Another shot!

Orange-yellow flames burst forth, tracing a straight path through the air, precisely hitting the target a hundred paces away!

Duke Edward's actions became increasingly faster and smoother, and his expression grew more astonished, as if witnessing an unbelievable miracle.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The crisp sound of gunfire echoed like an urgent drumbeat in the backyard.

In the short span of half a minute, this duke, adept at horseback riding and charging, had already transformed into the Campbell Army's most elite gunner.

His fastest record surprisingly was firing five bullets in just ten seconds, with each shot hitting the target precisely!

No barrel explosion!

And no misfire!

The soldiers nearby were dumbfounded, witnessing such an exaggerated weapon for the first time, unable to believe their eyes.

Having emptied the magazine, Edward finally stopped, laying down the rifle whose barrel had already turned hot.

Looking at the target in the distance, riddled with holes, his face maintained a steady expression, though inside a storm was raging.

Five shots in ten seconds…

What a terrifying rate of fire!

Even the most elite line infantry regiment of the Campbell Duchy would be decorated for firing four volleys in a minute!

He could hardly imagine if the Campbell army all changed to such weapons, what a terrifying presence they would be on the battlefield!

Faced with the firepower of thirty rounds a minute, even a Gold Level strongman would have to retreat… or at least move from the front battlefield to the flanks.

The appearance of firearms and cannons has in fact limited the performance of Transcendents to a large extent, although the changes brought are not yet evident.

If this thing spreads widely…

Even the Trident Knights may have to exit the stage of history.

Though the Trident Knights are the pride of the Campbell Duchy, Edward felt no panic, instead, he was filled with immense joy.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the churning emotions, turning to look at Prince Colin, his green eyes burning with hot flames.

"Prince Colin, my dear friend, this is truly… an unbelievable weapon. Has the Imperial military technology advanced to such a terrifying extent? But why have I never seen it before?"

Luo Yan had expected him to ask such a question, gently shook his head, and smiled as he replied.

"Sadly, the Empire has not equipped this weapon. Even the Colin Duchy has only recently acquired it from the Gutaf United Kingdom… we have just equipped it not long ago."

In fact, the technology of this rifle goes far beyond what Edward understood; there are many aspects that this duke could not comprehend.

For example, rifling design, smokeless powder, etc.

But since standing here is Prince Colin, not Professor Colin, there's no need for Duke Edward and the surrounding soldiers to know everything.

Before Duke Edward could speak, he continued.

"According to my agreement with the Gutaf United Kingdom, I shouldn't spread such advanced weapons to the Old Continent, causing havoc. However, you are my ally, and Princess Erin's situation truly concerns me. When I return, I will personally meet with their Queen to explain the matter."

Edward's eyes widened slightly, showing a hint of delight.

He discerned the information revealed in this sentence—

His ally intended to arm his troops with this weapon, which was precisely the issue he found most concerning, yet did not know how to broach at this moment.

However, he did not display his delight on his face; instead, he wore a heavy expression, placing both hands upon Prince Colin's arms.

"Your Highness, thank you for everything you've done for us… both Princess Erin and I will remember your kindness to us."

Colin's face showed a touch of embarrassed smile, coughing lightly as he said.

"If I can assist you and Princess Erin, it would be my honor."

Being lovestruck can be truly frightening…

The Campbell Soldiers standing by felt moved by the prince's affection for Princess Erin, yet ashamed that the prince would so easily gift such a weapon to his ally.

With such a prince, the citizens of Colin Duchy are quite unlucky, what if the Gutaf United Kingdom doesn't agree?

However, considering it seems to be a queen, several soldiers, after a moment of silence, began to worry about their Princess Erin again.

Thunder City is economically prosperous, and its cultural industry is comparable to that of the Holy City. The citizens of Holy City enjoy painting, while they prefer writing novels, and most of all, enjoy reading novels.

Why does this story seem familiar?

Edward, however, did not think along those lines, his mind wasn't muddled, fully aware that between nations, there exist only interests.

With Prince Colin helping him so, he would not forget this favor.

At most, he could give way to the Gutaf United Kingdom on issues regarding the special zone, let those Lizardmen taste some benefits, and use interest to buy off that queen, wouldn't it be fine?
