"Speed ​​45"

"Speed ​​62"

"Speed ​​23"

The road to the kobold saltpeter mine collection site was not easy to walk, and the stumbling stones on the road made it difficult to pick up the speed. Google search reading

After walking for about 40 to 50 minutes, Somo drove less than 30 kilometers.

The kobold behind him had obviously never seen such a fast and ferocious artifact. He was wandering around the world and was thinking about something.

Seeing the car slow down, the kobold immediately understood and continued to point the direction.

"Well, it seems that the kobold camp and saltpeter mine are to the west."

The car continued to move forward along the direction pointed by the kobold. After walking for more than 20 kilometers, it once again crossed a high slope that blocked the view.

Seeing the kobold's gesture, Somo subconsciously raised his head and looked in the direction of the kobold's finger.

The pupils shrank suddenly!

On the ground in the distance, there is a piece of silk-like ice crystals, spread on the tops of hills, stretching for several miles.

At this time, we were still about ten kilometers away from the saltpeter mine, and Sumo could clearly see this large area of ​​saltpeter veins that looked like they were made from heaven.

Not to mention, when you get closer and are under the mine veins, you will get an even more terrifying and shocking feeling!

"Such a huge saltpeter mine? How was it formed?"

Su Mo looked surprised, and quickly stepped out of the car, took out the five-power telescope in the storage space, and looked at the saltpeter mine.

With the addition of a telescope, the whole picture of the saltpeter mine became clear.

I have mines in my hands, so I don’t panic.

Gustav II, who was known as the Lion of Northern Europe at that time, was able to lead the Protestant Alliance to defeat the Catholic Alliance several times because of the muskets in his hands and the saltpeter mines in his hometown of Sweden.

However, most European countries do not produce saltpeter, and the source of saltpeter has always been a big problem.

It's better in peacetime, but once a war breaks out and trade routes are cut off, there will be a big problem.

King Charles I of England had been troubled by the problem of gunpowder when he went to war with domestic and foreign opposition forces.

to this end!

The dignified King of England had to turn his attention to the smelly and filthy place - the latrine.

In order to ensure the production of gunpowder, the king specially appointed officials to dig away the topsoil (nitrate) from toilets and stables in his territory.

Nitrate was used to refine the nitrate, and even the country was ordered not to lay stone slabs or wooden boards on the floors of toilets and stables, so as not to affect the collection of nitrate.

Cobblers and tanners who were big users of saltpeter even lost their jobs.

At that time, the distinguished priests of each church were given an honorable task, which was to call on the citizens who came to worship to pee collectively. From then on, peeing was no longer an embarrassing or dirty thing, but a contribution to the country.

Among them, church chairs are particularly valued, because people cannot leave their seats during worship, but people have three urgent needs, so church chairs are severely damaged, and people can scrape high-quality nitrate soil from the chairs.

The British at the time believed that women's urine contained particularly high levels of nitrate.

He even shouted the slogan "Please contribute your strength to your husband who is fighting on the front line."

but now!

Sumo looked at the huge saltpeter mine in front of him and couldn't imagine the reason why such a huge mineral vein could be born.

"If you came and told me that a towering monster went to the toilet here and formed such a large-scale saltpeter mine, I would believe it!"

"However, the kobolds should value the saltpeter mine very much. There are actually at least a hundred kobolds who have set up camps and fortresses here."

"Huh? This is??"

"Humanity!!"

With the help of the telescope, Somo clearly saw an upright creature that was completely different from a kobold.

The distance of ten kilometers was still too far, and the image displayed by the five-fold telescope cast a shadow on Sumo's heart.

Returning to the car, Somo picked up Oreo, which was still sniffing on the ground, and started the car again.

This time, he ventured to a distance of five kilometers.

The speed of Bengbeng's car was not very fast, but after about ten minutes, he still successfully entered the position Sumo had envisioned.

This time, even without the help of a telescope, Sumo could clearly see a large number of wooden houses in the distance.

Even next to this house, Sumo saw a house built with safe house cores!

I got out of the car again and took out the telescope and saw the scene in the telescope.

Somo is hard, his fist is hard!

Dozens of people are hard at work mining in the long mine.

However, these people are not kobolds!

But humans! ! !

Around the mineral veins, there were scattered kobold warriors. Sumo counted them roughly in his mind.

At this time, there were no less than two hundred kobold warriors in sight.

And the most terrifying thing is that there are as many as fifty kobold warlocks sitting and having fun in the middle of the camp!

This is what can be observed in the current field of vision!

I am afraid that including those who have not seen it, the number of kobold saltpeter mining camps in this camp exceeds three hundred!

Three hundred kobolds supervising dozens of human mining?

Under the telescope, Sumo felt a sense of enlightenment.

"I thought everyone near the place where I dropped it was taken care of by Huang Biao. Now it seems that the remaining people have been caught by the kobolds and are mining here."

"Fortunately, my shelter is a full sixty kilometers away from here, otherwise I would have faced this kind of monster in the first two days!"

"I asked why the Chinese Sanctuary is so secretive about foreign civilizations. I'm afraid that in other places, countless humans have long been enslaved by such monsters. But are these people's chat restricted? Otherwise, why aren't they in the world? See any such message on the channel!”

While Sumo was observing, he secretly guessed.

There are so many kobolds, let alone the equipment he has now, unless he is given a Gatling and an unlimited supply of bullets today.

Only then can we try to attack the base and save humanity.

With the current equipment, at least before there is no gunpowder, it will definitely not be easy to capture this base.

"I didn't expect this saltpeter mine to be so difficult."

"I'm afraid there will be many more of these monsters in the kobold camp than here!"

"Thousands of kobolds!"

When he thinks that there is a neighbor who is as "enthusiastic" as himself, and once you meet him, he will invite you to his house to mine, Sumo's head suddenly floats:

Feeling of security-10000!

"No, I have to go find out about the situation in the kobold camp. If there are more people than I expect, that will be bad!"

Turning back to the trampoline, Somo looked serious, and Oreo on the side quickly jumped on.

"Olio, let him show the way, let's go to their camp"

After the words fell, Oreo began to communicate with the kobold.

After a while, the bouncing car sped away, heading north of the saltpeter mine.

The terrain near the saltpeter mine is all stepped high slopes. Although the speed cannot be increased, based on the speed of the vehicle, the distance between the saltpeter mine and the kobold camp is not far.

I heard the kobold signal that he was almost there.

Sumo parked the car in the shadow of a bush and put it away, pulled the kobold out of the seat, held it in his hand and walked forward.

After walking about five or six hundred meters, Somo finally saw the kobold camp after climbing over a high slope again.

"this…"

"Can this be called a kobold camp? Maybe it's called a castle! Isn't it more appropriate?!"

Standing on the high slope, Sumo looked at the behemoth in front of him, his eyes full of shock.

If the saltpeter mine is a miracle of nature.

Then the kobold castle in front of you is an unparalleled architectural power.

The castle in front of me has a diameter of more than 500 meters according to visual inspection!

There are round towers, narrow windows, semi-circular arches, low domes, and door frames that are raised layer by layer, which look beautiful.

In terms of style, a large number of columns and vaults of various shapes are used to achieve an aesthetic effect of solidity, weight, balance, stability, and strength.

The narrow windows form a strong contrast with the vast space inside, making the interior of the castle dim and deep, giving people a sense of mystery and darkness.

There were four pointed towers on the four corners of the castle. With the help of a telescope, Sumo saw the kobolds patrolling the towers.

Looking further down, apart from the warlocks and warriors, Somo's sharp eyes saw a kobold wearing a white robe.

"This is the third type of kobold. I don't know what the characteristics of this kind of kobold are."

This kobold's figure was not very tall, but as he walked on the city wall, he was followed by four or five warlock kobolds who followed him very respectfully and honestly.

The distance between the city walls is not long.

The white-robed kobold kept walking as he talked.

Gradually, a group of people disappeared at the end of the city wall.

But before Sumo could continue to observe, the small door under the kobold castle suddenly opened, and a group of kobolds came out, heading towards Somo.

"Oops! Did you find me?"
