The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth.

Chapter 817: Firearms? The era of queues and executions?

In the morning, when Roland lazily opened his eyes, his hand subconsciously reached to the side, but all he touched was the cold sheets. The cold temperature suddenly made Roland sober up.

"Sigh..." Roland smacked his lips in boredom. When Nyx was not around, Roland returned to the free-range days when he first arrived in Rapids, living a carefree and heartless life.

"I've fallen... I have to be more self-disciplined!" Roland secretly encouraged himself.

"You're giving up. You have no self-discipline..." In less than two seconds, Roland got back into bed.

"System sign-in!" Roland stayed still for a while before he began his daily perfunctory work. After all, according to the nature of the dog system, it was impossible for the system to deliver on such a day when nothing happened. At most, it would give Roland some small things to comfort him. In the past, there was often Sharma, but now there is no Sharma!

"Sign in successfully! Congratulations to the host for successfully obtaining the equipment advancement card - Stream Infantry!"

"Oh? It's shipped?" Roland sat up suddenly from the bed. This thing is rare! Roland has not seen it for a long time. The last time was a universal equipment card - a one-handed sword. Every time Roland obtained a soldier, he would get a fine steel sword. This time, the equipment card was actually equipment for a specific type of soldier.

"Let me see what this is?" Roland opened the system panel and found a covered card with a golden hexagram of a dragon on the back!

"Swish!" As Roland flipped open the equipment card in mid-air, the entire card instantly glowed with golden light, then turned into light spots and fragments that dissipated in the air.

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the advanced weapon of the Swiftstream Infantry: Chestnut Spear → Fire Lance! (The existing arms have been automatically equipped)"

"What the hell? A musket?" Roland raised his eyelids. Was he in a daze? When he woke up, Middle-earth had evolved into Middle-earth Warhammer? From swinging a blade, he had evolved into a line of executions?

"Isn't this the beginning of the firearms era?" Roland was extremely shocked. How could a magical world in Middle-earth actually produce firearms? This was simply impossible! After all, there was no soil for firearms to survive in Middle-earth!

"It's bad..." Roland was a little frightened. If things went wrong, the whole world would attack him! When an old farmer with a dung fork could shoot down a knight who had trained for ten years after ten days of training, the feudal era would have come to an end... not to mention the deadly group of mages...

So what Roland couldn't understand was why the protagonists of some time-travel novels could safely select the firearms technology tree after traveling to the magic side world. Not only could they select it, but they could even climb up? You know, firearms shook the living space of nobles and professional masters! They didn't really think all the nobles were fools... The birth of firearms can be said to have greatly suppressed the nobles' control over military force. This is also the reason why Roland has never thought of selecting this thing since he traveled through time, because firearms are like a death warrant in the feudal era! As a vested interest, how could Roland overthrow his own stall...

"Something bad might happen!" Roland anxiously called up the page of the Flood Infantry and looked at it carefully. He now had to think about how to fix this thing. ...

  "I... Damn it! You call this a musket?" Roland's eyes widened and he was so angry that he laughed at the system. Look at what this is? A five-meter-long chariot lance! It's just that the barrel has turned red. This thing... hehe!

"Oh my gosh! I underestimated all the heroes in the world!" Roland regretted his words right after he finished mocking. After clicking it, he found out why this thing was called a fire gun. It turned out that there was a simple fire magic circle engraved on it, with three simple spells: ignition, explosion, and energy gathering!

The energy-gathering spell can absorb the magic from the air without the magic crystal function and store it in the magic circle. Ignition can ignite the enemy after attacking, and Explosion can detonate the flames on the enemy! This gun can store the magic power of three detonation attacks in total!

"Brother Tongzi is very generous! He directly arranged 9000 primary magic equipment! This wave of bleeding!" Roland was shocked and gave the system a thumbs up! It is true that primary magic equipment is not valuable, but you have to look at the quantity! This quantity is no longer a question of whether it is valuable or not. Even if Yun Feng is exhausted, it will take more than half a year to make this stuff. If Yun Feng really does this, Roland will probably have to hang a street lamp on it tomorrow. It is not easy for the entire Middle-earth to gather these things. Other countries have accumulated them bit by bit with their foundation! How can the whole army be replaced overnight like Roland! The most outrageous thing is that in the future, the rapid infantry recruited by Roland will replace the chevaux de frise with muskets!

"So, queuing and shooting is also OK..." Roland suddenly looked strange. To be honest, the first generation of flintlock rifles might not be as powerful as this thing! Roland could already imagine the scene of the future when the Flood Infantry lined up and minced the Orcs. At least three layers of the Orcs were wiped out in an instant... Isn't this thing more powerful than queuing and shooting? After all, the closer you are, the more accurate you can shoot!

But no matter what, Roland was very happy with this reward. After the basic unit of the Flood Infantry was weakened countless times, this army could come to the fore again! After all, they had no output and no defense before! (Compared to other professional units.) They were forced to become "fillers" on the second-line battlefield, but now at least they have the ability to take over the first line in a short period of time. No matter how the defense is, at least the instantaneous attack power is enough for them to serve as the main force on a battlefield.

……

"Hold the gun steady! It's like this on flat ground, how can you use it to attack on the back of a dragon?" Fenglin Youlan was training the three little ones. After all, Kaslo needed to go out for inspections, especially since Longya Castle had begun construction. Kaslo needed to go there for inspections frequently, and the responsibility of teaching the three little dragon riders was given to Fenglin Youlan, who was also a dragon rider commander. Although most of his dragons were disabled, he was still a real dragon rider commander after all. He could not teach the dragon riders many aerial skills, but the basic knowledge was still no problem.

At this moment, Fenglin Youlan looked at Fenglin Xilan and Fenglin Shulan's headache-inducing gun-holding postures and was instantly confused! The grinning and crooked eyes looked like a stroke... In fact, the heavy dragon spears made it difficult for the two girls to operate, so the erratic and casual gun skills made Weiss, who was also a half-baked dragon rider, twitch his eyelids. You know, although Weiss was also a half-baked dragon rider, his basic skills were still in good shape after five years of teaching by Kaslo. The only difference was the adaptability and air combat skills in air combat. However, these two girls couldn't even hold their guns steadily, so it was hard for Weiss not to wonder if they would hit their own people in the air...

"Sigh..." Zhuiguang sighed softly as he squatted beside the dozing Long Xi. Xilan was originally a daughter of a noble family and was not cut out to be a dragon knight. No one knew this better than Zhuiguang, who had a contract with her. Compared to Xilan fighting on the battlefield, Zhuiguang hoped that his little girl would be a carefree young lady.

"What is there to sigh about? Didn't you choose this path?" Long Xi said calmly.

"I just feel that she is suffering." Zhuiguang said silently.

"It's just the fate of the Dragon Rider family. You are the guardian dragon of the McDougal family? You don't even understand such a simple truth?" Long Xi laughed.

　When the word "firearm" comes, you can tell whether it is a firearm or not.
