THE WORLD DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM

chapter 66's

As soon as they reached suitable land in the wild, they began to clean up the environment and began preparing for testing the Ballista prototype.

As John watched all the commotion, he thought and said to Vlad and Tornwall, he said, “I think we will need a permanent testing field for the future because it will be very busy to always travel such a long distance and make our people do such a busy job. This not only creates a fuss but can also jeopardize the classification of our important weapons. It also reveals information about the firepower of our current weapons. ”

Hearing this Vlad also raised his own opinion,” Well it is quite true but it will still need to be kept secret when it comes to testing new weapons. “

“But it will be easier to keep confidential if we have a testing place.

And you can't forget the fact that the best you can do is delay the delivery of information because most of the time, information is leaking one way or the other. ”

Hearing this John gave the order,” Okay, it is decided, we will start the construction of our testing site as our next project. Tornwall next time you see Ryfon in town, tell him to meet me at my house later on. ”

Meanwhile, all the preparations for the test have been prepared, the,

Chief of the people, Lopez is handling all the procedures come to John, salute and make a report to John,” Master all the preparations are done. We are ready at the time of notification to begin our testing procedures. “

After Hearing the confirmation, John then ordered it, “Good, We will start immediately. Give notice to everyone to be in their posts as we will start our testing procedure in 5 minutes. Hurry.”

Lopez blew a trumpet hinting that all the men were in their posts and keeping watch. Hearing this trumpet, all the men started heading to the predetermined post.

For a while, everyone was tense as this was the first time for many to test a unique weapon.

John gestured to Tornwall when he started handling Ballista.

“Fire!” John Roared.

Everyone was tense for Ballista's first injection, some thought, as always it would fail, some hoped for success and while some like John and Tornwall were fully convinced that it would definitely work.

After witnessing his first attack, everyone was shocked including Vlad, who was shocked,

The first attack completely destroyed the huge tree that was 550 meters away from them.

The second attack shattered the small terrain that was 600 meters away from them which created a very deep hole inside.

Thought Vlad after watching the first attack, ‘So that was the reason why he wanted to keep this weapon a secret, it seems like I underestimated this weapon too much. So it seems like what Tornwall is saying is true but this weapon itself will completely change how the war will happen in the future due to its firepower alone. This range of weapons alone was a frightening asset. I wonder how the witch felt after the introduction of this weapon. ‘

Seeing everyone's reaction, John and Tornwall showed satisfied smiles,

John is thrilled after seeing Vlad's reaction from how closely Vlad sees the newly created Ballista like a young boy who invented his favorite toy.

Tornwall said when everyone thought it was over, “Wait, wait, this is not over, I show you all my greatest assets after I made this weapon, he said, this is one of the reasons why I took 5 full days to complete this project ”

He took out a special arrow of Ballista from one of the carriages. This arrow was inspired by various patterns, it then loaded the Arrow with the help of several people. He said proudly as he explained about the specialty of arrows to everyone present there,

“This is a special arrow inspired by fire and wind magic. This arrow will travel 1.5 times faster and with 1.3x further distance when activating wind magic and I do not know the current stats when it comes to its firepower output, he said, we can only know after the test again.

Another speciality of this weapon is that it shoots at targets as soon as it hits them. So this weapon has more uses compared to normal long-range weapons. It had value in destroying high-value targets on the battlefield. Okay, that's it, you can fire him. “Tornwall said proudly to everyone as she gave a chance to one of the men carrying the arrow.

The man was already excited when he saw the performance of this weapon before, this time when he got the chance to fire his own weapon personally, he got quite a lot of joy, this time,

as he hears orders from Tornwall, he repeats the same procedure that Tornwall did before as he eagerly fires the Ballista.

Booms!

Ballista this time hit a small hilltop 800 meters away, This small hill field was completely destroyed as its voice could be heard by all the nearby beasts as they scrambled to retreat in fear due to their instincts after watching the weapons.

All the guards including Vlad were greatly shocked after watching this scenario. They were very happy at the fact that they would be able to handle this weapon in the future.

“I want to know when we will be able to use this weapon in the future,” said one of the men escorting them.

Watching this, even John was shocked because he had not expected to see such a weapon from Ballista after a rune was sailed by an arrow.

This time Tornwall really stole everyone's attention,

Tornwall thought proudly as he watched Ballista do his duty, ‘I hope I can qualify for the alcohol made personally by Lord John this time after this show. ha ha ha . ‘

Tornwall grinned as she was quite happy with herself as she laughed as she thought about her current performance.

“It looks like this is even beyond your expectations, right?” Vlad asked John when he saw his surprised reaction when Tornwall suddenly pulled out a new trump card this time.

John: “Yup, I was quite surprised this time, I think I should reward him this time for this unexpected performance, I do not expect that combining runes will have an impact on this Ballista.”

Vlad: “Yah, Japan, unlike this usually because Tornwall is quite unique in him because he himself tried many runes because he made weapons before over the years and to improve it he learned many weapons that included runes. It was usually very difficult to imbue these runes in a larger weapon like this time. “

John thinks a little and understands when he answers Vlad: “Hmm .. so that's what happens when we see the firepower, however, it still shows an improvement in the quality of Ballista when we observe the previous performances. So, this will help me later when things get tough, it has a pretty high value in its uniqueness. ”

Vlad smiled slightly and said to him,” That's right, and it's very likely that you will need that weapon in the coming winter. This winter is going to be quite cold and scary for the northern border town than I know. ”

John showed a mysterious smile as he said these words,” Maybe true, maybe you can be wrong, maybe, I can tell you that everyone will experience a change from the North-boundary spread throughout the Kingdom of Aelius and across the boundaries. “

Vlad was quite surprised after seeing his confidence and ambition from his previous words when he thought and seriously said to him, “It is very possible that you have this weapon, he said, but I can tell you one thing in advance, as soon as you display the actual weapon. The royal family will watch you like a hungry wolf as well as a potentially hostile force to the throne. You may have heard of the rumors of the Lorr Family, right? Are you really prepared for the consequences you will face for revealing such a weapon? You need to make preparations for potential bloodshed. “

John smiled more mysteriously and said confidently to him, “Well I have another option, which is to make a weapon more frightening than the current one. It will also help me identify friends and enemies. The fact that you warned me already proves my instincts that you are different.

As for the royal family, I can always keep them under the illusion that I am in their control while I only give them the Ballista even if I choose to reveal it. And I can always choose to let go of this weaker version of Ballista. ”

When John says that he's gonna make a more terrifying weapon, Vlad shivered when he heard this and his blood almost froze from mentioning something more terrifying than this when it came to range or weapons.

Vlad regained his senses and made a very satisfied smile. He heard John say this and thought, ‘I think my instincts were right when I bet on this kid when I felt something different about him. This boy showed the eyes that he was confident enough to make a more terrible weapon. ‘

Vlad smiled and said to him, “As I expected, you actually lured the person in the room when you revealed this weapon, <TAG1>, I'm guessing you intend to score two goals with one arrow when you fire that shot and reveal about this weapon at that meeting. ”

Vlad continued in a serious tone at this time as he revealed one of the important secrets of the great empire and empire,

Vlad: “But I will still warn you to be more careful of the fate of royal witches and not to underestimate the throne based on just a few factors, he said, those people had averted disaster for many empires every time they faced a major event. In fact I was almost caught by their trap when they predicted my next murder years ago and this is one of the reasons I am being cautious and currently looking after the Madam instead of taking that target high risk. “

Vlad said with a nostalgic smile as he said to him, Vlad is someone who always likes to fight against the odds when he is to John, “However, Vlad is always against the odds, since I've already made a bet on you I guess I'll stick to it because it's not like me to go back on my word. And I also want to see how you deal with that bastard. After that incident, they always made me nervous because I had to plan more thoroughly later. You have space magic as your main element will be very useful against them, “ Vlad said in a satisfying tone as he thought of the pitiful faces of those Fate witches. Plus, he also felt that John would definitely mess with them later when he faced them.

John laughs when he hears about Vlad's grief in the past.

“When you say that you will make more terrible weapons, do you plan to kill dragons with it by making such a terrible weapon?”

John showed a puzzled expression when he heard about the dragon for the first time and asked Vlad, “Dragon? Do they really exist? From what I know, only the Royal family has dragon knights that they rarely use?”

“I don't think you're planning to kill a dragon because you don't really know about Dragons. As for the dragon knights you mentioned, they are not actual dragons but they are lesser dragons with little or no intelligence as they can become this tame easily.However, those royal dragon knights were quite powerful. They were made with the intention to create a balance between magicians, court officials and aristocrats. “

But Vlad sighed, there was still a smile on his face as he thought about the events of today, ‘I guess this will be an eventful and exhausting year. However, I guess it will be in vain. ”

Vlad called his assistant Dearil and immediately ordered him,” Make a joke order for everyone to keep this event as a secret project. Anyone who snoops a sound about it will be dealt with the right consequences such as compensation for this joke order we will increase their wages. ”

Vlad then turned to John and seriously said to him,” You should make an order this joke will also be a big deal if this information is leaked in the first place. “Dearil is the same red-haired man who looks after the workshop.

Dearil glared at John as the two of them chatted happily. He was even more upset after hearing from Vlad that John had already recognized him when he detected him earlier when he subconsciously leaked a hint of killing intent.

John smiled as he said to Vlad, “Well, you don't have to worry. Before coming here and putting my men in the workshop, I've already told them about commanding jokes and taking my most trusted people when we go to test our weapons in the future. ”

” I fully understand the consequences of revealing this weapon for everyone to see. There would be a battle royale for it if they saw it in action head-on. “
