Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 2648: Please be Realistic

Gu Xia Mo felt that it was truly a big pity for the northern tribe to make such invention but couldn’t utilize it well.

Even though Gu Xia Mo was specialize in mechanics, but he had good enough understanding of materials and so on. After all, he had to pick good materials when he was building his own mecha and so on.

If he was too bad, there were many other ’geniuses’ who were ready to replace him.

Now in this world, Gu Xia Mo was utilizing his knowledge to make better metals and shape it so that he could make good cannons and so on. But after he saw what these people had made, Gu Xia Mo felt that these people were too bad.

Whoever made this definitely didn’t have good grasp about how to forge good materials.

Or it was because the current forge in this era was indeed not very good.

The northern tribe had to move around for a long time, so when they forged the materials, they would have to rebuild the forge again. After all, the traditional forge was made through using the mud on the ground and so on.

In this way, they truly couldn’t make the effective one.

Unless they decided to stay in one place and adjust the forge to achieve the best result, it was unlikely for them to become better.

“10 to 13 rounds… it’s still quite threatening,” Song Yun Xiang after a moment and shook his head.

He knew that it might not seem much, but the power of these cannon could easily destroy their formation. Especially if the northern tribe choose to use more cannons and fired them at the same time.

Could they guarantee that their shield could block these cannons?

And how powerful should they upgrade their equipment to be able to handle these cannons?

It was clear that they wouldn’t be able to do it in a short period of time.

“Yes, to a certain degree it is indeed quite threatening, but I doubt they can make a lot of cannons,” Gu Xia Mo replied calmly. “Moreover, the number of cannonball they have should be very limited.”

“Reason?”

“There’s no mine.”

No mine?

Song Yun Xiang was stunned and then understood what Gu Xia Mo meant. It was not like there were no mines at all in the north but it was more like these northern tribe didn’t fully utilize the mines.

This caused their lack of metals.

Even if they have already mined and prepared a lot of weapons when they stopped somewhere near the mine, they would have to move again after some time. Because of this, they didn’t fully utilized the mines.

After all, the need for weapon was secondary after food.

If they couldn’t even eat and drink, how could they care about their weapons?

So it took them many years to accumulate enough metals for their weapon and having some leftover that could be used to make these cannons.

But how much exactly?

That was a question that they didn’t know either.

“It doesn’t mean that they don’t have any mine at all,” Song Yun Xiang said. “We don’t know the exact terrains at the north for sure.”

“Yes.” Gu Xia Mo nodded. “But I don’t believe they will collect a lot of metals when they kept on plundering food when it’s winter because they lack of food. It can’t be that they’re too busy mining that they forget about food, can they?”

Song Yun Xiang: “…”

If that was the case, then the northern tribe’s method was simply too extreme.

Because it was clear that once they failed to plunder the food, they wouldn’t be able to survive at all.

Song Yun Xiang was also very clear that in history, there were many cases where the northern tribe failed to break into Fan Yi Kingdom. They couldn’t get anything even after fighting for a long time and had to return defeated.

At that time, could they still think about their lack of weapons?

I think that their most pressing matters would be their lack of food.

“It’s unrealistic.” Song Yun Xiang nodded. “But you have to remember that we have fought against the northern tribe for more than two centuries. They might have some resources accumulated over the past two centuries or more.”

To be honest, Song Yun Xiang himself was not entirely sure when the conflict between them and the northern tribe first started.

What he knew was that he had to fight hard if he wanted to defend Fei Yang Kingdom.

As for eliminating the northern tribe…

Er…

Please be realistic.

They didn’t know how many people in the northern tribe in the first place. Even if they were to defeat one tribe, who could say for sure that there wouldn’t be any other tribe coming to attack them?

So Song Yun Xiang didn’t have much hope.

But it would be good if they could reduce the number of intense battle against the northern tribe.

Otherwise, it would be a bit difficult for them in the future.

Well, more like, there would be many people who had to be sacrificed for FeI Yang Kingdom’s peace.

“It’s your arrangement.” Gu Xia Mo shook his head, not caring too much about it.

In the first place, he never really treated himself as a leader of Fei Yang Kingdom’s army or anything like that. The only reason why he was willing tolled his people away was because of his position and all.

Now…

What he wanted was to spend more time with his wife and to work in this lab.

The wall’s construction was going well but there were many people who had died in the past few months.

It could be said because of the great intensity and Fei Yang Kingdom’s desire to finish the project as soon as possible, there were many war prisoners who had died. In this rate, they would probably be eliminated before this big project could be finished.
