Chapter 270 The Tide of the Times

The chaotic struggle ignited endless chaos in the east of the World's Edge Mountains. The mountains spanning the north and south ends of the continent cut off the war on the other side of the world.

The Dwarf cities in the World's Edge Mountains were as peaceful as yesterday. Occasionally, there would be local conflicts between small groups of Greenskins and Dwarf caravans, but they were irrelevant to the overall situation. All living creatures were but ants on a chessboard.

West of the mountains, the changes in Kislev have begun irreversibly, and the tranquility of the empire is only the eve of the storm.

Further west of the Empire, the Kingdom of Bretonnia across the Grey Mountains is about to undergo a new upheaval, and the shadow of turmoil looms over the entire territory of the Knight Kingdom.

The invisible will slid across the southern end of the Grey Mountains, passed by the Tilia Peninsula which was divided into many cities, and looked down at the dwarves living in the Black Mountains with amusement.

The Black Mountains extending eastward from the Gray Mountains and the branches of the World's Edge Mountains extending westwards cut the Empire and the Border Princes' territories apart. They are the Empire's natural line of defense against the badlands.

Changes and disasters will affect these short people, and all resistance will die in the change.

It passed through the turbulent border princedoms and continued south across the green ocean of the Badlands.

The desert remained peaceful, and there was no movement in the jungle further south.

Everything was going as planned, except for the damned chaos storm on the Norse Peninsula! The will of change rose high into the sky, leaving the world behind.

This will rushed out of the mirror and returned to the dying old man holding the pen. The world still remained quietly inside the crystal mirror.

The mirror spirit picked up the mirror, threw it aside casually, and then found the projection of the Norse Peninsula. Based on the content of the projection, it would lean over the center of the long table from time to time and add a few strokes to the yellowed pages of the book that were spread out.

There are no plants in the Norse wilderness, and even if there are, they are only deformed carnivorous species. The suspension engine is moving quickly on the ice field, and Lynch soon finds the trace of the Chaos army.

The number of Chaos Humans was so large that the Lizardmen couldn't believe it. The entire snowfield was occupied by them.

This seems to be the rear of the army, with scattered soldiers and brave men gathered behind the main force.

Lynch crawled out of the hover engine and rushed into the cold wind.

Since he had no troops to command, he did not carry the insignia of Taranksla.

In order to prevent the Chaos mutation from twisting his teammates into beastmen, Lynch rejected the dwarf's request to accompany him and assigned him the task of guarding the interior of the engine.

Sorian stood at the entrance seriously, put on his ancestral armor, and watched the lizardmen go away.

After Lynch jumped off the pyramid, he raised the hover engine into the sky.

Before engaging the main force of the Chaos Warriors, they would most likely not be attacked, as although the Norse Marauders were numerous, they did not even have a single Scorpion Tailed Lion.

This is just a vulture following a tiger.

The few Chaos Wizards were easily defeated by Teclis' spell. The Elf Wizards did not dare to squander the magical winds that filled the Chaos Storm, and even had to divide their energy to channel the magic power into the "Great Vortex".

But the archmage does not need to use all his strength to summon war magic.

There was no organized mage group or equally powerful mage to restrain him. Clusters of fire rain fell and thunderstorms descended, effectively clearing out most of the miscellaneous soldiers.

Lynch didn't waste time on the Chaos Predators; he had to look for more valuable targets.

"Gunpowder will gain an unshakable position! The new gunpowder will become the nightmare of the greenskins and Norscans. Even giants and dragons will have to bow down to the roar of artillery! Gentlemen, a new era has arrived!"

"Who would be so foolish as to fight those monsters with melee weapons? No offense, knights, respectable followers of Yurik, you are the great guardians of the empire, but the new gunpowder is replacing you."

"The dwarves lack the intention to industrialize, and the elves hold on to exquisite bows and swords, unwilling to lower themselves to touch truly lethal weapons. Now, under the witness of Sigmar, I reveal this fact to you, the gentlemen present here."

"We are about to surpass those so-called ancient races. We are the winners in the competition!"

"As long as our engineers can make artillery with a larger caliber, even a mountain can be flattened with gunpowder!"

In the Imperial Wiesen Territory, in the city of Nuln, a speech came to an end under the attention of the upper class, but the aftermath of its speech had just spread to all directions.

A great engineer and a rising bachelor of the Imperial Academy of Engineering, Midir improved the steam engine, simplified and optimized its structure, no longer using the traditional methods of the dwarves, but completely embarking on the path of mankind itself, making it easier to popularize.

Steam engines will have wider applications in human society, rather than just being installed in bulky steam tanks.

This move completely enabled the Imperial School of Engineering to surpass the Imperial School of Gunnery and put it at the forefront of engineering advancement.

But the scholar's achievements are not limited to this.

Midil gunpowder will soon be mass-produced on assembly lines to replace the old-fashioned gunpowder.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Although there were many accidents along the way, it seemed that there were invisible enemies preventing human progress, and even Master Midir himself was assassinated.

But the scholar seemed to have a premonition, perhaps a revelation from Sigmar, and he had already made a record. One copy of the record was even kept by Wolan, the "Supreme Grand Master of the Imperial Academy of Magic", and was kept close by the direct disciple of the elven wizard Teclis.

The original assembly line was destroyed in a mysterious fire and explosion, and many people involved died mysteriously. The Elector almost gave up supporting the progress of the project.

But two months ago, the resistance disappeared as mysteriously as it had arrived.

It was as if some existence had diverted the invisible being's attention, causing it to no longer focus on human progress. Many rumors believed that this was related to the tsunami that occurred more than a month ago.

When the sea moves strangely, all resistance disappears. Perhaps humans should thank Manawe for his protection. This is what the sea god believers in Marienburg claim.

The Sigmar believers present simply paid tribute to the deceased, and humanity finally completed cross-level progress.

Bullets made of Midir gunpowder have been tested and can easily penetrate thick plate armor. After conversion, it can completely penetrate the demon armor of Chaos Warriors.

If the caliber of the artillery is large enough, the Midir shells can easily flatten even a hill.

"Your claims are wrong, and facts will prove that we are right. Knowledge should be used and it should not be restricted."

"The Lord of Change will pay more attention to us! You shouldn't have started the change! You are the only one left. Doesn't this prove that you are wrong?"

"Midir is dead! Yako is dead! Jost is dead too! Everyone is dead! Hahaha~ We don't need to split up anymore, because you are the only radical left of the "Light of Doom"! No, there are only three of us left in the "Light of Doom". It is your stupidity that made the "Master of Death" target the "Light of Doom". Klaus, are you satisfied?"

"We won! You cowards, Midir and the others' sacrifices were meaningful! If we don't change, this world will perish, and we will die too!"
