"So how did it go little Willy?"
"Were there any problems?"
"Is that why you were delayed?"
William looked at his family helplessly.
"Mom, dad....uncles.... everything went according to plan.
The only reason I’m arriving now, is because I had to receive sothing from the Capital."
Everyone frowned as they instantly thought that sothing unexpected had happened.
"It’s not what you guys think.
It’s just that while I was resting in ’Zambra City’, I got a letter from our spies in the Capital.
They had successfully bought several bags of snow powder for us....so I had to wait there a little more."
"Snow powder?" Oden asked.
After an hour of explaining what snow powder was, its nurous effects on war....as well as demonstrating it’s full capabilities in front of them, everyone in the room was shocked.
’How could this tiny powder do this?’
This weapon was definitely a double edged sword that could definitely ruin their plans, if they weren’t careful.
"If you managed to get your hands on this product, then I’m sure that my brother has also gotten his hands on it as well." Oden said.
"That’s true father... my spies said that his alchemists have already started mass producing it, as we speak."
Instantly, the atmosphere in the room beca heavy.
"Get Fanji and Quambey to start mass producing them as well!!
No matter what, we need to always be 1 step ahead of that beast if we plan on succeeding!!" Mona said.
"Hmmmmm.....Although mass production is important, it’s also important to understand how to guard against such attacks." Murel said
"Uncle is right!!" William said while nodding.
They carried everything outside, and headed towards a deserted broken down stone building, a little further away from their base.
The powder was placed into several tubes (the size of dynamite), and mounted on arrows, crossbows, and even sticks.
Just like how arrows would work, the tubes would be lit and launched at a trajectory angle..making its way towards their enemies.
"Boom!!!"
They began firing at the stone walls continuously, but nothing happened.
The walls didn’t break down at all.... the only thing that could be seen, was a thick layer of black soot on the walls.
William wiped off the soot and observed the walls carefully.
"No cracks yet" William said.
"Damn!!... how many tis do we have to blast it before the wall takes a hit?" Powin grumbled as he noted down what was said with a feather pen and parchnt paper.
(**Their ink was made from burnt bones, charcoal and sap of trees which glued everything together)
"Alright.... I think we’re done with this stone building... let’s target the wooden horse sheds next."
’Boom!!’
Instantly, 1/4 of the front door scattered into several pieces.
"Success!!
