After that, he asked, the soldiers' marching was almost finished, and whether there were any other training subjects later.
Zhang Mu actually didn't know much about the army.
Things like marching are also learned from daily exposure.
When asked by Soran, he scratched his face unconsciously: "Otherwise...just work on your physical fitness.
Well, it won’t be long before the new guys arrive.”
"As you command, Lord City Lord."
After spending some time together, Sauron knew that no one could ask Zhang Mu about things he didn't want to say, so even though he was curious about what the "new guy" was, he didn't ask much.
Seeing that everything was going well for the rebels, Zhang Mu felt relieved and turned back to the City Lord's Mansion.
Of course, he can't think of taking a break.
Soran was always efficient at work, and he sent over three hundred soldiers who met the requirements in the afternoon.
There was no need to find a teacher. Zhang Mu, who had already completed his further studies, brought the three hundred soldiers into the "world" and gave them seven days of lessons.
It doesn't teach any advanced knowledge, just some information about machine tool operation and things to pay attention to during the process.
After the theory was finished, Zhang Mu led them to the independent space designated for the machine tools and began practice.
The effect is pretty good.
This group of rough guys, although they did not receive nine years of compulsory education and could not even recognize a few words, they studied very hard.
Maybe Zhang Mu’s contribution is involved.
From their perspective, it was Zhang Mu who led them out of the despair of imminent defeat. If the benefactor needs you, you must do your best.
And so, three more days passed.
The three hundred soldiers learned the basic operations of machine tools. Zhang Mu selected the five who learned the fastest to be team leaders.
Later, he asked Domit to be in charge of the training of the soldiers and called Soran back to his side to be in charge of the overall coordination of supplies.
Because we wanted to give the 300 soldiers some training, we didn't need much copper and iron in the first batch.
After a day, Sauron prepared all the refined copper and iron and transported them to the construction site outside the city. Zhang Mu, who was waiting there, raised his hand and took it into the "world".
Immediately, the soldiers, who had been sharpening their swords for a long time, started the loom.
Some of them operate the mother machines and manufacture more general-purpose machine tools, while the rest are all busy making guns.
Of course, they didn't know that what they were making was called a gun, and called it "a pitch-black round tube with delicate parts."
I have learned the theory and practiced using the machines, but when I really start working on them, the scrap rate is still quite high.
Inevitably, Zhang Mu comforted the captain who looked guilty: "Don't feel sorry, we still have time."
The captain was deeply moved and led his subordinates to work overtime. Those working hours were so long that even the "996" workers would be terrified.
The effort is not in vain.
In about seven days, they assembled their first pistol - the Desert Eagle.
City Lord's Mansion, Study Room.
Zhang Mu sat behind his desk, playing with the silver Desert Eagle: "It feels fine."
Aim the gun at the vase on the bookcase on the left and pull the trigger.
"boom--"
The broken pieces of the vase fell to the ground, leaving a transparent hole on the back of the bookcase.
Looking at Soran who was standing opposite with his eyes slightly widened, he said: “Find someone to help me spread the message.
For example, a treasure that the city lord once obtained in the maze can greatly increase the combat effectiveness of the army.
Remember to be stealthy and don't let anyone know it was us who did it."
"As you command, Lord City Lord."
Chapter 209 Come to the pit
Recently, strange rumors have been circulating in the city of Gul.
It is said that the city lord dismissed most of the troops in the city, leaving only guards to maintain basic order, and at the same time secretly formed a new army somewhere.
Oh, and this is not “rumor”.
After all, many soldiers from Gur City returned home, and the citizens of the city and some people with ulterior motives saw it.
As for the second half, some people did discover that the convoy belonging to the City Lord's Mansion would rush out of the city every morning and would not return until sunset.
Judging from the deep ruts on the dirt road in front of the city gate, it is impossible that the vehicle was empty.
As for what the convoy was transporting, it has something to do with the "rumors" in recent days.
"The Lord City Lord accidentally obtained a treasure in a maze some years ago, which can greatly enhance the combat capability of the legion."
The source of the rumor could no longer be verified, but everyone from the deputy city lord to the street vendors had heard of it.
For ordinary citizens, this matter was nothing more than adding some topics of conversation during leisure time, but Joey took it seriously.
Ever since his brother died tragically in a secret room at home, Joey, worried that his identity would be exposed, has begun to stay at home.
I seldom went out in the past, but now even “seldom” is gone.
But it doesn't mean that he has lost the ability to collect intelligence.
After operating in Gul City for many years, he still has some confidants.
"What is that imposter planning?"
In the bedroom, Joey sat on the edge of the bed and thought.
He wanted to go to the convoy's destination to find out the news, but because his brother's death was definitely related to the counterfeit, he didn't dare to act rashly.
"Who on earth is he to have hidden it from the church and murdered that idiot in my secret room?"
After pondering for a long time without any result, Joey cursed in annoyance.
Although there was no evidence pointing to the city lord, Joey's sixth sense determined that there was no other possibility.
I have been in Gol City for more than 40 years and have lived in peace until now. But my brother showed his face in front of the counterfeit and he died that afternoon.
If he said it wasn't him, Joey would never believe it even if you beat him to death.
"咚咚-"
There was a sudden knock on the door, and a voice came into the room: "Master Joey, there is information."
It was his personal secretary, brought from Laghu, who was trustworthy.
"Come in and talk."
A man pushed the door open and entered the room, standing respectfully in front of him. “Some of our people have found out that the city lord’s convoy is transporting a batch of weapons to Moza Village outside the city.”
"Moza Village?"
After repeating the village name, Joey felt vaguely that it sounded familiar.
He soon remembered that the original location of this village was wasteland. It was only after the "city lord" returned from the Silent Forest that it was designated as a village for refugees who did not want to participate in the project and wanted to cultivate farmland.
At the time, Joey didn't notice anything was wrong.
The pay at construction sites is not low, but some refugees still prefer to farm, which is normal.
But now looking at it again, Moza Village might not be simple.
Folding his arms and thinking for a while, Joey asked, "How is the village's defense?"
“The investigating officers were afraid of being discovered and did not come close to investigate.
I looked at it from a distance on the hillside and knew that the village was very large, and it could be called a small town.”
such……
The unknown development made Joey feel uneasy.
There are only five months left until summer, and all unexpected factors must be eliminated before then!
Deciding to take a chance, he told his secretary, "Go see where the city lord is."
"As ordered."
The secretary also holds a position in Gulcheng, so he can just go to the city lord and use the excuse of "having official business to report". Joey is not afraid of being discovered.
About an hour later, the secretary came back.
"What is he doing?"
"Well, the city lord is strolling the streets of Gul City with his wife and a demi-human."
play?
What is there to do in Ghor?
It’s fine if he travels with his wife, but he’s also bringing demi-humans along?
Joey felt like his mind was about to burst with the constant stream of doubts, so he quickly shook his head and forced himself to calm down.
Feeling that he had almost regained his sanity, he hesitated whether to take the opportunity to go to Moza Village.
"What if it's a trap... No, we can't miss this opportunity."
After the counterfeit came to Gul, our whereabouts were only confirmed this time. The rest of the time, he was either nowhere to be seen or staying at the construction site.
If I give up this time, who knows when the next time he will go out and have fun will be.
"Go and keep an eye on the city lord. If he leaves the city, notify me immediately." Joey was confident in the secretary's ability, so he didn't explain the details and believed that he could handle it himself.
"As ordered."
The secretary turned and left, and he changed into loose clothes that were convenient for movement, sneaked out of the city, and headed all the way to Moza Village.
It was evening when Joey set out, and even though he ran at full speed, it was already dark when he arrived near the village.
Of course, this makes his actions more convenient.
Joey, who is a wizard, is confident that no one can take his life in Gul City as long as he doesn't run into the city lord.
