After Lynn became familiar with several great wizards, he also took the time to ask about Greenrill's war preparedness.

During these months, Parliament had assembled and trained a legion of 20,000 men.

Compared with the Empire and the Church, this is obviously not enough, but the population of the Wizarding Land is limited, with a total of only six or seven hundred thousand subjects. It is impossible for them to use human wave tactics like their enemies, and they can only win by quality.

Although the so-called quality is nothing but a luxury, after all, these legions simply do not have much combat experience.

In addition, the magical beasts tamed by the potion wizards might also be of some use.

Then there are the wizards' killer weapons, the magic crystal cannon and the golem! First is the magic crystal cannon, the principle of which is to compress the magic power stored in the magic crystal together and launch it in the most basic way.

Simple but effective! The power of an ordinary magic crystal cannon is roughly equivalent to that of a third-ring magic, while an advanced magic crystal cannon is comparable to a fourth-ring spell.

Even though it was only a difference of one ring of magic, the power was increased by more than ten times! In contrast, the cost of high-level magic crystal cannons was extremely expensive. Each time a cannon was fired, a fist-sized magic crystal was consumed, which meant that hundreds of magic gold coins were only enough to fire one cannonball.

Lin En had had the opportunity to experience and control this special alchemical weapon before, and had a rough estimate of its power.

In terms of destructive power alone, it is much stronger than the cannons produced in the workshop. The disadvantage is that it is expensive and has a limited attack range. The closer the distance, the stronger the power. It will not be of much use beyond 500 meters.

Since there had been no need for war in the Wizarding Land before, and the manufacturing process itself was very complicated, even if the two types of magic crystal cannons were added together, the number was only one hundred, and most of them were deployed around Greenriel City and the Magic Stone Mine.

However, this was all an illusion. It was not until the parliament was preparing for war that it discovered that due to lack of maintenance and even being stolen and sold, there were only a pitiful fifty guns left to be used.

As the president of the Alchemy Association, [Magic Creator] Vittorio was furious, and the Alchemy Association was severely reorganized.

The second is the golem, which is even more valuable than the magic crystal cannon. It is made entirely of solid mithril and has a unique magic inscription circuit inside. The psychic wizard projects part of his consciousness into the golem for control.

After patching together their resources from various schools, they were able to gather seventy golems. The Academy of Psychic Powers will then send out corresponding personnel to assist in the battle.

Listening to the news, Lin En didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that there had been peace for a long time, and these wizards had never thought about going to war. If the church suddenly attacked, the entire wizarding land would probably not be able to use even 50% of its full strength.

"Sir Lin, I heard from Master Raphael that the Iyeta School has developed a new weapon called a musket. It is much more powerful than a crossbow and can easily penetrate armor and even the [Mage Shield]. Is that true?" Sanchez asked curiously.

They had all read the report submitted by Raphael, which clearly stated that this was a weapon that could allow ordinary people with training to threaten wizards.

"Not bad." Lynn nodded.

"Two magic gold coins for a musket!" Lin En pondered for a long time before speaking and gave a price that was neither high nor low.

The cost of making a musket alone is about 15 magic silver coins. Considering the labor and transportation costs, it will cost twice as much. However, Lin En did not intend to ask for too much. Facing the unknown details of the church, everyone must go all out...

Moreover, compared to the musket itself, the constantly consumed ammunition is the most profitable...

Given the bargain price offered by Lynn, Sanchez purchased 10,000 muskets without hesitation.

Now it was Lin En's turn to be in a dilemma. "The production of the musket workshop is still very limited. How about this? I can give you two thousand flintlock rifles first. You can rotate them for daily training. It's not a problem. They don't need to be very accurate, as long as they can use them. I can slowly make up for it later!"

Yieta's musket-making workshop has been expanding in recent times, and can now produce about 3,000 muskets per month. Once the workers become more skilled, the output should be able to continue to increase. However, it is not easy to gather 10,000 muskets in a short period of time.

As for the leakage of technology, it is inevitable and Lynn doesn't care much about it. Darren and others are already studying the production of percussion guns.

By the time someone is able to replicate the flintlock rifle, this thing will probably have become obsolete.

After negotiating the sale of the muskets, Lynn and Sanchez turned to discussing military training.

Sanchez, who was born in a land of wizards, was completely blind to the training of the legion. Fortunately, with the joint efforts of everyone, he figured out some methods, such as how to make them cooperate with the wizards' magic and how to simulate a battle between two armies.

Lin En's methods were much more direct. For the musketeers, discipline was the first priority, and the second was adaptability on the battlefield. How to face the enemy's mass charge, or even a rain of arrows, and still stand still and calmly complete actions such as cleaning the rifling, placing ammunition, aiming and firing.

So he directly asked the wizards who were idle in Yieta to capture some magical beasts and let the musketeers form small teams to fight against them.

The deterrent power of these monsters is no weaker than that of the battlefield. Facing a fire lion with flames all over its body, anyone who can complete the reloading, firing, and shooting is a qualified musketeer! "This method is not bad!" Sanchez said with appreciation. With a wizard watching, there would be no big problems, so he immediately decided to promote it.

The new recruits who were training far outside the city of Greenrill had no idea that their nightmare was about to begin!

Just as the wizard land was urgently preparing for war, the massive movement to liberate the miners in the Kingdom of Hadratha became increasingly intense.

Starting from the small Barony of Elvis, Redel had swept across nearly one-seventh of the territory of the Kingdom of Hadratha in less than a month, organizing a team of more than 10,000 people! Earl Joyce was so frightened that he fled overnight and passed the shocking news to the capital of Hadratha...
