King of Mercenaries Chapter 238

Published at 14th of June 2023 05:18:45 AM

Da Vinci came to Orich this time and brought a total of 20 finished guns. Because these guns have a barrel length of 50 cm, they can no longer be counted as pistols, but belong to the carbines between rifles and pistols.

Moreover, because of the long length of this revolver, it is not convenient to shoot with one hand. Therefore, two-handed shooting is required. Fortunately, there is a wooden support under the barrel, so it won't burn the shooter because the barrel is hot.

The entire runner fired the carbine, and the total weight was exactly 3 kilograms, exactly the same as Marin's original target for Da Vinci. In addition, Da Vinci also specially made a short version of the pistol for Marin, which has the same structure, but the barrel is much shorter, similar to the later flintlock pistol, and can be easily hidden in the robe.

Seeing this pistol, Marin's mouth drew straight. Because this kind of short gun is definitely an assassination tool ...

After testing, this revolver lighter pistol has an effective range of 20 yards using powder powder. With granular powder, the effective range is directly 30 meters. It is definitely a weapon for assassins to assassinate nobles.

Suddenly, Marin felt full of malice from this musket-if there were two such guns hidden in the assassin's robe, and within 20 yards of himself, he fired his gun ... Marin could already imagine himself The scene of blood falling to the ground ...

The next day, Marin suddenly issued a new decree-"Gun Control Act":

All subjects in East Frisian, except professional musketeers, who own a musket must obtain permission from the royal family. If you have a gun in private, you will be arrested and jailed. If the possession of firearms in the city of Orihi is sentenced to at least 10 years, the severe one will be executed directly ...

Civilians are only allowed to use muskets and rifles, even if they need to hunt, and must not be brought into Orich ...

Even if outsiders enter Orich, the carrying of the musket must be registered and strictly controlled. Only national envoys have immunity. But the ambassador's guard, the musket, must also be kept by the soldiers of East Frisian Land before entering the city, and can only be returned when leaving the city ...

Uh ...

The entire nation was surprised by Marin's inexplicable order, because in this era, the entire East Frisian Land, and even the Marin army, used muskets. Others, no one used a musket at all. Therefore, this order issued by Marin is not targeted ...

But when Marin showed the new musket on the school yard next to the palace, the officers present knew what Marin was worried about ...

I saw Marin suddenly pull out two delicate revolver pistols from the sleeves of the wide silk robe. "Pop-pap-" hit the humanoid target at 10 meters directly and hit Sawdust flies ...

Everyone was frightened by Marin's sudden action, because in the eyes of everyone, the rifle is the representative of the rifle. Generally, if you want to shoot with a musket, you must first ignite the musket. Most of the musket is wrapped around the left arm, only the front part is clamped on the fixture of the musket. Each time the gunpowder is loaded, the fire rope must be removed from the fixture to facilitate loading of the ammunition, which is very troublesome. Generally speaking, even if a fire rope gun is well-loaded, if you want to shoot, you must first troublesomely place the fire rope, clamp the fixture, and prepare a set of work, not to mention dozens of seconds.

But, just now they saw with their own eyes that Marin suddenly pulled out two muskets without using a fire rope, and completed the shooting directly ...

These short guns are not absent from the firearms these days. However, the rifle pistol, like to use, is just as troublesome. And because there is only one fire rope, two cannot be operated. Therefore, even if using a rifle pistol, only one can be used. But Marin just opened the bow from left to right.

Everyone does not quite understand Marin's intentions, and shows off marksmanship in front of them? It doesn't seem to be like this ... Even the smartest knights such as Schwartz, Fronzberg, etc., do not understand a little, but vaguely feel that they are about to think ...

大家 "Everyone thinks, if an assassin uses this new style of musket and suddenly gives you two of these, can you escape?" Marin didn't go around and opened the door directly ...

大部分 Most of the people at the scene, especially those trainee knights, all fought a cold war ...

Schwartz and others understand that such a short distance and such a fast musket shooting, they want to escape, it is absolutely difficult ...

"No wonder Lord Earl would have issued such a strange order before, it turned out that he was afraid of being assassinated ..." Franzberg suddenly realized ...

Schwartz immediately choked his arm to keep him from talking. Speak up to your face, don't you hit Marin? As one of Marin's earliest attendants, Schwartz knew that his young master was a little bit face-friendly. He said in the face that he was afraid of death.

Frentzberg is clever but clever, but it's a little worse. Sometimes, the words are not covered. Of course, this is also a common problem of the Cavaliers. After all, they are not politicians and sometimes too lazy to use their brains.

"George, you are right, I am afraid of being assassinated. And, I am also worried that you will be assassinated!" Marin did not avoid the topic, but spoke frankly.

"Uh ..." Everyone was a little embarrassed, especially Franz Berg.

"Think about it. Although your martial arts are good, in the face of the shooting speed of my shooting speed just now, are you confident that you can escape the assassination?"

Everyone thought for a while and shook their heads ...

The knights are strong men with great strength, but generally not very flexible. Only those assassins can train more agilely. Faced with the speed of Marin's left and right bows, the Cavaliers are really difficult to avoid.

"I know that everyone is a warrior, and they are not afraid of death. But death is also about the law of death. For the Cavaliers, if they die on the battlefield, it is glory. But if they die in conspiracy and assassination, they die. It's too wrong to keep even a glory ... "

Everyone nodded and felt indifferent ...

"Master, in this case, you keep the secret of the musket you just used, wouldn't it be great? No one can use such a musket without a fire rope, and there is no such danger!" A knight officer suggested Road. This proposal was also endorsed by many of the officers present.

"Well said, Neil. But, have you thought about it, this kind of musket, since we can make it, those high-level artisans in Italy and southern Germany cannot make it? So ~ www.novelhall.com ~ this The gun will definitely appear, we can't stop it! "

In the original history, this gun appeared after more than ten years, and Marin just made this clockwork gun more than ten years in advance.

Everyone stopped talking. Marin was right. There are many high-level artisans in Italy and southern Germany. It is not surprising that they developed such muskets that do not require a fire rope. Therefore, rather than preventing Marin from taking out this new musket, it is better to ban civilians from owning it. In this way, their safety can be more guaranteed.

Not only did the officers think so, but even Jeffrey and Heidel, who were watching the lively side, also began to support Marin's previously issued "Gun Control Act." Especially for the control of short guns, Jeffrey and Heidel and others have attached great importance.

Prior to that, although Jeffrey issued the "Gun Control Act" in cooperation with Marin, he actually disagreed. Because he thought Marin was too trivial. But when Marin was on campus, in the presence of many officers and civilians in East Frisian, he performed a general double-gun shooting in a sneak attack, and everyone was worried that he would become the unlucky "humanoid target".

So, Jeffrey and other civilian officials secretly made up their minds and must make great efforts to strictly implement the "Gun Control Act." Because the implementation of this decree is even more beneficial to these civilians. The assassin was assassinated, and he had good skills, and might avoid it. If the civilian officer is assassinated, he may not be able to escape and hang directly on the spot ...

For their own safety, Jeffrey and other civilian officials paid more attention to the "Gun Control Act", and supervised it very strictly ... Because of this, East Frisian had almost never been assassinated by assassins using short guns. In the rest of the European continent, a lot of assassins were killed by assassins using short guns ...
