Chapter 329: Chapter 329 – Gun
I look upon the gun with great shock.
The gun was made completely of iron. It had a long barrel but the opening was small enough to only fire small round bullets. There wasn’t any visible cylinder or magazine on it that showed where to store the bullet.
It was colored brown red, similar to wood and had a long hamr that burst the gunpowder, doing the shooting process.
I looked at the gun for a while, disbelief spread across my face.
“He… He really sent this thing.” I slowly put the box down on the table. Acting as if this was very valuable.
Taking another look inside, I saw a piece of paper, probably a letter or instructions tucked inside. Then with heavy hands I take the thing.
I look at the gun for a mont, taking a gaze at its authenticity. After a mont, my excitent washes away and a dull look arises in .
“Man… this is pretty boring.”
I shake the gun, trying to hear the inside. Only a few crick crack sounds were made as it shook.
“It’s not that durable either. Damn, did he send the first prototype?”
A lot of the thing was missing from the gun. Like the safety and magazine wasn’t built in it. The gun’s barrel was too long to carry it hidden and the grip didn’t feel right in the hand.
The last one maybe because my hands are too big.
Nevertheless, this was pretty much a gun of the first era.
As that idea ca to , I grab the barrel and pull it down. Instead of breaking, a clicking sound ca and it unlocked. The butt of the barrel ca to be the chamber where the gunpowder is stored.
“Hm… this really is quite an old design. I suppose this is where the gun powder goes.” Then I put the barrel back and take a look inside, “And this is where the bullet goes.”
I shook the gun once more before putting it back inside the box.
“Regardless of how poor quality and old its model is; it still shows that he decided to trust … really trust .”
I think and rember that this gun and its longer version were the secret weapons of the Sekai kingdom when it launched the war on Leonidas.
There was a reason for them going on the offensive, it was this guns. He used its long version against Leonidas to get an edge over at long range attacks and short version for close range ergencies.
Though in a world that have people who could use superpowers with the help of rings, this guns weren’t a big deal for them. But the ones who made up most of the soldiers in an army, the infantry couldn’t protect themselves from such an attack.
In the novel, with the use of its long range musket version, Sekai was able to crush the front line defense that Leonidas had so arduously held.
And right now, I had the short version, the Handgun sent as a gift by the Emperor.
‘Truly a fascinating diversion of events.’
I take the letter inside and start reading it.
Congratulations, Henry Van Tax.
I, The Great Emperor, Genshoshai Sakurai, gift you this magnificent piece of next generation weaponry as a start of our fruitful relationship.
I had trouble reading the next generation weapon part and laughed without even knowing it.
I know that you are confused by the content inside.
You’re wondering ‘What is it?’ ‘Why did the Great Emperor send it to ?’ ‘Is this so kind of treasure?’
And to answer that, it is a treasure.
A treasure that will change the dynamics of war quickly in the future.
The next generation won’t be about the monstrous level of power definition that the Sigmat Rings or Weapon will bring, it will be this thing.
The Gunho
Even though I had different thoughts about the na, the emperor wasn’t wrong. The start of guns would definitely change the power definition.
In the future, it won’t be swords and shields anymore for the norm. It would be swords and guns until a ti cos when it will be guns and more guns.
Even though Sigmat power will dominate the world, the lives that will lose to guns will be uncountable.
With a single use of this weapon, it will kill anyone with remarkable ease.
I give you this gun with trust and expect loyalty in return. Use this to get an edge over in Leonidas and heed to when I call for you to express your loyalty.
Show that you truly an to be a subject of mine… and maybe at one point, even a friend.
I will be expecting results.
With that the letter cuts off with detailed instructions of how to use the gun.
I throw the letter towards the box and have an angry look.
“Subject?… Loyalty… Results… Just what did Hanako feed that motherfucker to write sothing so fucked up to ?”
“I will definitely show you results… results that would definitely show my loyalty, oh great emperor.” I say and ease my anger a bit.
‘I don’t know what Hanako said, but I can’t lay the bla on her. She was able to get the guy to gift this.’
For soone who hated very badly, to be able to change his opinion to such a degree, it in itself is a great achievent for her.
‘I need to show this to Abigail this instant.’
I get up and take the box with .
…
After so ti, I was inside the mansion in Vistiria Road. I was looking at the sun that was dropping down and felt a presence behind .
The cold presence seed to be very dark in nature. But that dark presence hugged softly, whispering with an undeniable allure.
“Miss already, Lover?”
“I did.” I say.
Abigail felt sothing amiss in Henry voice. She went in front and saw him with a hard look.
“Sothing wrong?” She asked with a strong voice, ready to tear the problem apart.
I gesture her to the open box at the table, “Take a look at it.”
Abigail quickly did and saw the gun, but did not recognize it. Without asking anything, she looked around and read the letter.
Her expression hardened with each sentence that she read. Abigail threw away the nonsensical words and only read the necessary ones.
After so ti, she looked at the gun, “Is it really that dangerous?”
“To us… no.” I say, “But in the hands of thousands of Sekai Soldiers, it will be.”
“Is there any way to stop this from being mass distributed?”
“I don’t think so. By now there should be hundreds, if not thousands already built.”
Abigail had a dark look as she said, “So what this ans is, Sekai has pretty much advantage over us when the war cos.”
She took the gun, “Even with its help, we can’t mass produce it so suddenly and even if we do, it won’t be ready before Sekai starts their attack.”
“And… they might have already made a better version of it by now.” Her expression only seed to falter, “Is there really no way?”
Seeing her troubled expression, I smile.
I go to her and hug her tightly, “Abigail, do you trust ?”
“Hm… of course I do.”
“And you won’t get angry if I did sothing crazy?”
Abigail got out of the hold easily.
“I won’t.” She said with honesty that changed to confusion, “But why are you asking this?”
The mysterious smile was still on that she couldn’t decipher.
“Because I am about to show you my deepest secret.”
