Chapter 467 Food Crisis in Kyoto

At this time, Artoria and other knight swordsman professions finally arrived.

Just in time to see the muzzle of the Vulcan Cannon slowly rotate, and then the electromagnetic magic circuit on the barrel lit up.

Huhuhu...

A whistling sound sounded, and a violent metal storm spurted out 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 charging the barrel and activating the electromagnetic magic circuit.

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

A wave of metal storm surged in.

When a bullet chain was finished, the stone wall had become fragments, and the iron plates were also known as fragments on the ground.

Arturia couldn't help but open her mouth.

She envisioned a horrific scene.

The Knights charged as a group and were torn into pieces in the face of this metal storm.

"How powerful is each bullet?" Aslan asked.

"Because of the increased caliber and lengthened barrel, every bullet can easily penetrate the great swordsman's fighting spirit armor." Nigel said with pride on his face.

Arturia couldn't help but show a dazed expression.

She had just had the idea that the way of war might change, and was still thinking about the future of the Knights, when a new magical weapon appeared that made the Knights Charge lose its important deterrent effect.

Times are progressing too fast.

Aslan smiled and nodded.

Mordred suddenly screamed, rushed up and grabbed Nigel by the collar and said, "Where are our new equipment? Where are the new equipment you promised to prepare for our knights?"

Aslan quickly stopped his sister-in-law.

"What do you want to do? If you have something to say, please tell me."

Mordred put down Nigel with a look of reluctance 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 could not help but show sad expressions.

The knight instructors in Merlo City are not like those Erlengzi knights outside who know nothing and only focus on charging.

They are well aware of the power of the spear and staff, and a wave of pyroblasts can definitely stun the charging knights in a group.

Originally, they only had to consider the aviation magic brigade in the sky, but now they also have to consider dealing with this 'Vulcan Cannon' and whether to give their knights a way to survive.

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

"A new age of chivalry?" Mordred's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Aslan nodded solemnly.

For a time, not only Mordred, but also people from other knight and swordsman professions also set their sights on Aslan.

Aslan smiled awkwardly and said: "Don't look at me like that, it's just the planning stage, I haven't completely designed it yet."

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

Their trust in Aslan's planning ability was beyond expectation.

In the final analysis, it is Aslan's plan all along, and the confidence brought by success again and again.

As for Aslan himself, although he looked calm, there were countless horses galloping in his heart.

What the hell is the new age of knights? He has never thought about whether it is good or not, because in his previous life, he had not developed such a heaven-defying battlefield weapon as the Vulcan Cannon.

In his previous life, when his territory improved a little, he was only focused on intrigues and women, but ignored the development of magic technology.

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

The real reason that changed all this should be the Mero Dam in front of us.

Because the electrical element was developed, Merlo City entered the electrical age ahead of schedule, and various magic props and equipment driven by electrical elements were able to be continuously developed.

After thinking about all this, the corners of Aslan's mouth raised slightly.

Merlo City will enter a new era.

Later, when Essien and others saw the scene of electric furnace steelmaking, and also learned 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 Mero City at all.

Not to mention the need to meet the consumption of the two experimental workshops at Mero Dam.

While the city of Merlo was cheering and cheering, the huge Kyoto was filled with gloom.

Whether it was the people or the nobles, even the young emperor Shani, who lived deep in the palace, looked sad.

The Kingdom of Cleveland is economically locked down by the Maxim Federation.

At first, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty did not take Maxim Federation's warning seriously, but now they are also aware of the viciousness of Maxim Federation.

The Kingdom of Cleveland losing all its southern provinces was equivalent to losing its stable source of food, leaving the Kingdom of Cleveland to rely on food imports.

After the locusts and drought that lasted for half a year, there was no food everywhere. The Cleveland Province was okay. It still had some grain stocks and the food sold in the Merlocks Province, which could barely survive. However, several other provinces had long since

The road is filled with hunger and death.

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

In fact, many countries have begun to resume production, but the output is not so optimistic, and they can barely feed the local noble lords. There are even magisters who have established plantations and placed insecticide barriers around the plantations, so that the people inside the barriers can

crops will not be threatened by locusts.

In fact, this method is now being implemented in various places, but after all, there are not as many magicians as knights and swordsmen, and many of them can only rely on manpower to form a defense network.

No matter what, the manpower and material resources consumed were huge, but the grain output was not even one-tenth of previous years.

Fortunately, with the rise of locust hunters, they catch locusts on a large scale and sell them to the Tianping Chamber of Commerce. They also clear up large areas of locusts in their areas, giving farmers at least a glimmer of hope.

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

Kyoto's food reserves are getting less and less now. If the disaster continues for another six months, Kyoto will not be able to support it.

The young emperor Shani leads by example, and now he only eats one meal a day, making other nobles even more miserable.

At the beginning of the food crisis, the young emperor and the regent reached a tacit agreement to control the food in the entire Kyoto. Even the food in the cellars of the noble mansions was scraped out, just to distribute it equally and ensure that people could survive to the maximum extent.

.

It is precisely because of this move that Kyoto can barely survive. After all, the entire Kyoto metropolitan area has a population of more than 20 million. These are the subjects of the royal family, citizens who are truly willing to shed their lives and blood for the royal family.

As long as the province of Cleveland is not destroyed, the Kingdom of Cleveland may make a comeback at any time.
