Frank Empire, outside the city of Bolu.

"El, if you have time, can you let me see the new weapon of your Xilan army? That musket."

"Of course. When you encounter an occasion where you need to dispatch the musket team, you can enjoy our muskets to your heart's content."

"Can't you let me enter your barracks now and watch your muskets up close?"

"Sorry, Su Cheng. This musket is now the treasure of our Xilan army. Although you are our ally now, we can't let you get too close to our treasure. I hope you can understand."

"It's okay. I understand. If I had such a powerful new weapon, I would definitely not let outsiders get too close to it. Hahaha."

"Powerful or something, it doesn't count. The shortcomings of the musket can't be counted on one hand."

...

...

Su Cheng and El rode their respective war horses and walked side by side.

Alan and Gabriel followed closely behind.

The four of them circled around the city of Bolu in a leisurely manner.

While they were circling around the city of Bolu, Su Cheng and El were chatting casually.

The reason why Su Cheng and El were circling around the city of Bolu was not for a walk or a rest.

It was to personally scout the current situation of the city of Bolu and study the best way to capture the city of Bolu.

When Su Cheng and El decided to personally scout the current situation of the city of Bolu, their subordinates proposed to send a large number of cavalry to escort them.

But both of them rejected their subordinates' proposal.

The reasons for their refusal were surprisingly similar.

"Alan alone is enough to protect me."

"Gabriel alone is enough to protect me."

So - there was a scene of Su Cheng, Gabriel, Alan, Gabriel and the other four circling around the city of Bolu.

On the surface, Su Cheng and El's scout of the current situation of the city of Bolu was simply careless.

Although both of them had their eyes on the city of Bolu, they never stopped talking.

They kept talking about all kinds of things.

From how Camille was doing recently, to how Su Cheng's two daughters were doing recently, to how Su Cheng's wives were doing, and then to the muskets...

Su Cheng and El's casual chat made Alan and Gabriel behind them very confused.

Alan and Gabriel actually just didn't understand the ins and outs of Su Cheng and El's words.

If there was someone who knew the ins and outs at the scene, he would definitely be able to hear that the invisible attack and defense was constantly unfolding in Su Cheng and El's chat.

Some of the topics in these chats between the two were indeed just meaningless mutual chats.

For example: How are Carol and Alyssa doing recently, and how are Su Cheng's two daughters doing recently.

But there were also some topics where Su Cheng was asking El for information.

For example - the topic of muskets.

It was not until El successfully completed the expedition to the Far East Prairie that Su Cheng knew that El had muskets and the Holy Hilan Empire had lit up the firearms civilization.

As soon as the musket was mentioned, Su Cheng was full of complaints about Camille.

Camille, who was as close to El as a brother and sister, naturally knew the existence of the musket.

But Camille despised the musket, thinking that the musket was just a useless garbage weapon.

Therefore, Camille believed that the musket was a junk that was not worth paying attention to at all.

So after coming to the Britannia Empire, Camille never reported the existence of the musket.

It was not until El completed the expedition to the Far East Steppe that Camille knew that the musket was so powerful and knew that he had misjudged it.

Thanks to Camille's "blessing", Su Cheng did not know that the war technology of their Britannia Empire had lagged behind the war technology of the Holy Hilan Empire by an era until El completed the feat of the expedition to the steppe two years ago.

People of this era, limited by the limitations of the times, could not recognize the true value of the musket.

Camille is the best example.

Kamil, who was able to assist Ilsa in achieving the rejuvenation of the Britannia Empire, was undoubtedly one of the most talented people in the world.

However, even a genius like Kamil still misjudged the value of the musket.

Others did not know the value of the musket, but Su Cheng, a time traveler, knew it clearly.

Whenever he thought that the Holy Hilan Empire had already lit up the musket technology, Su Cheng would be shocked and sweat.

Su Cheng felt both unfortunate and fortunate that the Holy Hilan Empire had lit up the musket technology.

He felt unfortunate that the war technology of the Holy Hilan Empire had surpassed their Britannia Empire.

At the same time, he was also fortunate that the current muskets of the Holy Hilan Empire were not advanced enough to be impeccable.

Although Su Cheng had not seen what the muskets of the Holy Hilan Empire looked like, he concluded from all the information currently known about El's expedition to the grassland that the muskets used by the Holy Hilan Empire should not be too advanced.

In terms of technological level, it should be around the level of flintlocks.

The reason why Su Cheng made such a conclusion was because according to the intelligence, when El used musketeers to deal with the Huns on the grassland, he arranged the musketeers in a dense formation.

The musketeers were arranged in a dense formation - this should be the line tactics.

Although the Holy Hilan Empire's musket technology is not too advanced and has not yet reached the level of being invincible on the battlefield, if they wait for a long time, their Britannia Empire will inevitably be in great danger.

Their Britannia Empire must also have muskets - this is the only thought Su Cheng had after learning that the Holy Hilan Empire has muskets.

The reason why Su Cheng talked to El about topics related to muskets was actually intentional.

It was to get information about muskets from El's mouth.

However - El's mouth is much more reliable than Su Cheng imagined.

No matter what Su Cheng said, El either smiled foolishly and did not respond, or talked about something that was true or not, and changed the topic.

El's words sounded nice - if there was a time when the musket team needed to be dispatched later, Su Cheng would see enough.

But El's words were just bullshit.

This siege of the city of Bulu was actually the final battle of the Frankish Empire's war of annihilation.

If the city of Bolu falls, it will be a victory for the Britannia Empire and the Holy Hilan Empire.

After the city of Bolu falls, there will only be the erosion of the remaining territories of the Frankish Empire, and there will be no more major wars.

There is no need to send out musketeers in the siege of Bolu.

After the capture of Bolu, there is no need to send out musketeers to erode the remaining territories of the Frankish Empire.

Therefore, until the end of the war of extermination of the Frankish Empire, Su Cheng should not have the opportunity to witness the heroic appearance of the Hilan Army's musketeers with his own eyes.
