The Lord Who Wants to Be Emperor

Chapter 467: 467: Kyoto Food Crisis

At this time, Altria's knight swordsman profession finally arrived.

It just happened to see the muzzle of the Vulcan gun slowly turning, and then the electromagnetic magic circuit on the barrel lit up.

Huhuhu...

There was a whistling sound, and a violent metal storm spurted from the muzzle of the Vulcan Cannon.

The rate of fire is not as exaggerated as the earth's Vulcan cannon, and it should be related to the charging of the barrel and activating the electromagnetic magic circuit.

The rate of fire is about 600 rounds per minute, only one-tenth of the real Vulcan cannon, but in this world, that is enough to be called terrifying.

A wave of metal storm surged in.

When a bullet chain is finished, the stone wall has become debris, and the iron plate is also called fragments all over the ground.

Altria couldn't help but open her mouth.

She envisioned a terrifying picture.

The knight group charged forward and was torn to pieces in front of this metal storm.

"The power of each bullet?" Aslan asked.

"Because of the increased caliber and longer barrel, every bullet can easily penetrate the sword master's vindictive armor." Nigor said proudly.

Altria couldn't help showing a dazed expression.

She was just in the beginning of the war that may need to be changed, and she was still thinking about the future of the Knights, and new magic weapons that made the knights charge and lose their important deterrent power appeared.

The times are progressing too fast.

Aslan smiled and nodded.

Mordred suddenly screamed, rushed to grab Nigor's collar and said, "Where is our new equipment? What about the new equipment you promised to prepare for our Knights?"

Aslan quickly stopped his sister-in-law.

"What are you doing? Have something to say."

Mordred put down Nigor unwillingly, and looked at Aslan with a lonely look.

"Brother-in-law! Is the age of knights coming to an end?"

As soon as these words came out, all the knight instructors present couldn't help showing a sad expression.

The knight instructor of Melo City is not like the Erleng knights who don't understand anything outside and can only bury their heads in the charge.

They are well aware of the power of the spear stick, and a wave of fire bombs can definitely smash the group's charging knights.

Originally, they only had to consider the aviation magic brigade above the sky, but now they also have to consider dealing with this ‘Vulcan Cannon’ and give them a way out for the knights.

"The old age of knights has ended, and the new age of knights has just begun." Aslan said with a smile on his face.

"The new age of the Cavaliers?" Mordred's eyes beamed.

Aslan nodded solemnly.

For a time, not only Mordred, but also other knight and swordsman professions, all turned their attention to Aslan.

Aslan smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't look at me in this way. It's just a planning stage. I haven't fully designed it yet."

Hearing this, many people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They have unpredictable trust in Aslan's planning ability.

After all, it is the confidence that Aslan has always planned and succeeded again and again.

As for Aslan himself, although his face was calm, there were countless horses running around in his heart.

In the new era of knights, what the **** is that? He didn't even think about whether it was good or not, because in the previous life, he had not developed the Vulcan Cannon, such a big battlefield weapon.

The territory of the previous life has improved a little, and he is all in the minds of tactics and women, but ignores the development of magic technology.

Aslan suddenly raised his head and looked at the Merlot Dam in front of him.

The real reason for changing all of this should be the Merlot Dam in front of you.

Because the electrical elements were developed, Merlot entered the electrical age ahead of schedule, and all kinds of magic props and equipment driven by electrical elements could be continuously developed.

After trying to understand all of this, Aslan's mouth rose slightly.

Merlot will enter a new era.

Later, Essien and others saw the scene of electric furnace steelmaking and also knew that the efficiency of electric furnace steelmaking had advantages. They almost jumped with excitement. The existing steelmaking technology could not meet the construction needs of Merlot. Let alone meet the consumption of the two experimental workshops of the Merlot Dam.

While the city of Merlot was cheering and cheering, the huge capital of Kyoto was a cloud of sorrow.

Whether it's the people or the nobles, even the little emperor Xiani, who lives deep in the palace, has a sad face.

The Kingdom of Cleveland is economically segregated by the Maxim Federation.

In the beginning, the civil and military forces of the Manchu dynasty did not pay attention to the warning of the Maksim Federation, and now they are aware of the viciousness of the Maksim Federation.

Losing all the southern provinces of the Kingdom of Cleveland is tantamount to losing a stable source of food, leaving the Kingdom of Cleveland to rely on food imports.

In the locusts and drought that lasted for half a year, there was no food in all four places. Cleveland was okay. There were still some food stocks and the food sold in Mellock, which could barely be maintained, but the other provinces had long been Hungry to death.

Although the Tianping Chamber of Commerce has done protein cake business throughout the northern provinces, no matter how capable it is, the Tianping Chamber of Commerce cannot spread the protein cake business to all regions in the northern provinces.

In fact, many countries have begun to resume production now, but the output is not so optimistic. They can only barely feed the local noble lords, and even the magisters have established plantations to kill insects around the plantations and let them inside Of crops will not be threatened by locusts.

In fact, this method is now being implemented everywhere, but magicians do not have as many professions as knight swordsmen after all, and many can only rely on manpower to form a defense net.

In any case, the manpower and material resources consumed are huge, but the grain output is not even one-tenth of the previous year.

Fortunately, with the rise of locust hunters, they caught locusts on a large scale and sold them to the Tianping Chamber of Commerce. They also cleared a large area of ​​locusts for the area, so that farmers have at least a chance of life.

The most troublesome thing is the drought. Many places have died. Even if the locusts are caught, there is not enough water to resume production. Even many places are migrating on a large scale because there is no water source.

Kyoto’s food stocks are now becoming less and less, and if the disaster continues for another six months, Kyoto will not be able to support it.

The little emperor Shani set an example, and now only eats one meal a day, making other nobles even more miserable.

At the beginning of the food crisis, the little emperor and the regent reached an agreement tacitly to control the food in the entire Kyoto. Even the food in the cellars in the noble mansions was scraped out for even distribution to ensure that people can survive to the maximum .

Because of this move, Kyoto can barely survive. After all, the entire Kyoto metropolitan area has a population of more than 20 million people. These are the leaders of the royal family and citizens who are really willing to throw their heads on the royal family.

If the province of Cleveland is not broken, the Kingdom of Cleveland will be able to rise again at any time.
