Chapter 359 -347: The New Firearm That Could Change the Course of the War!
“Glenn, there is another one here, and he seems to be alive!” Ham, who was in charge of leading the team, shouted excitedly after discovering Arno ‘unconscious’ on the street.
The number of Griffin Knights struck down by the Thunder Net was high, but very few survived; capturing any survivor was a rare achievement.
After all, if they could extract critical intelligence from these captives, it might change the course of the war.
Upon receiving the notification, Glenn immediately rushed over.
After glancing at the collapsed eaves and the Griffin beside that had turned into a mass of flesh, he immediately guessed how the other had survived, and then took a bottle of Magic Potion and poured it directly into Arno’s mouth.
...
To drink or not to drink, that was a choice…
Arno hesitated for a moment, but eventually did nothing and let the Potion flow into his body.
If they wanted to kill him, they would have done it directly; there was no need for overkill, Arno speculated that these people intended to capture them for interrogation.
It was undoubtedly a good opportunity.
Arno thought of strategies in his mind, but his thoughts immediately became groggy, and he could not muster any strength throughout his body.
This special Magic Potion, causing one’s muscles to relax, could induce a long unconsciousness, completely robbing him of any ability to resist.
However, Glenn had not expected that a cardinal would be mixed among the Griffin Knights and be so easily captured.
Thus, he used only a normal dose, and Arno still retained some level of consciousness without fully passing out.
A few musketeers stepped forward with special ropes and securely tied him up.
Previously provoked by the Griffin Knights without being able to retaliate had frustrated everyone; now that they had the chance for revenge, they did not hold back, with one person even kicking him several times viciously.
Arno endured the humiliation while raging inwardly, furious that mere lowly commoners dared treat him this way.
He silently vowed to remember their voices, determined that once they conquered the capital, he would subject these people to the Judgement Court’s tortures.

“Alright, stop it, don’t kill him!” Seeing everyone’s actions, Glenn quickly intervened and commanded Ham to take the man to the interrogation room.
…
With the retreat of the church’s army, the news of their initial victory spread quickly throughout the capital!
Cheers echoed from the city walls to the end of the alleys.
This was undoubtedly a resounding victory; they repelled the formidable expeditionary force using just some ammunition, and over twenty thousand bodies piled up beneath the city walls!
If not for those damn Griffin Knights relying on their ability to fly, burning dozens of houses and causing the casualties of over a hundred people, it would have been perfect!
Given such a great victory, Lynn certainly did not skimp on rewards; every musketeer involved in the battle received a Magic Gold Coin, and pending the recording of their acts of valor, additional honours would be awarded at the war’s end.
Of course, this money was provided by the parliament and the royal family.
The griffins that were killed in the fall were not wasted; some were used for magic research, while others were given as meat to the old York and others who had achieved significant military accomplishments.
For civilians like the old York, tasting the meat of a high-level magical beast was something they might never experience in their lifetimes, let alone one that was roasted using thunder magic.
The lucky musketeers who received a share of the meat felt they had never eaten anything so robust in their lives.
After appeasing these war heroes, Lynn once again increased the intensity of the patrols and guards, as everyone knew the war was far from over.
Today’s combat seemed brutal, but it was mainly probing attacks.
The true decision-makers of the war—the bishops and the group of priests from the Judgement Court hadn’t really taken action yet, and the enemy had not committed many of their elite forces either.
Therefore, after arranging these miscellaneous affairs, Lynn immediately rushed to the Alchemy research institute set up in the capital.
As soon as he entered, a fierce explosion sounded from inside, but neither Lynn nor the guards who arrived were surprised anymore.
Sure enough, just two or three minutes later, several wizards from the alchemy research institute walked out of a lab full of flames, all looking rather disheveled.
Lydia, who had joined the institute and become a distinguished alchemist, quickly asked when she saw Lynn.
“Dean Lynn?
How did the war go this time?
Did we win?”
Lydia was very interested in the initial battle with the Judgement Court, but she had been busy improving muskets, so she hadn’t joined the frontline battle.
“To take out at least twenty thousand enemies with less than two hundred casualties should be considered a great victory!” Lynn said with a smile, as only in a defense battle, leveraging the range of muskets and cannons, could such exaggerated casualty figures be achieved.
This also proved that his earlier decision to abandon active attacks and opt for city defenses was absolutely correct!
After all, they had known nothing about the enemy’s intelligence and chose to be cautious!
For those present, the exaggerated casualty ratio was not surprising at all; the muskets, cannons, and electromagnetic weapons they had created based on Lynn’s blueprints were undoubtedly deadly on the battlefield!
“It seems that the crusade sent by the Judgement Court wasn’t much after all!” a witch sneered.
As news of the war spread across Wizard Land, many were skeptical that they could defend the kingdom against the major invasion by the Judgement Court, to the extent that some believed the end of wizards was imminent.
Even the council was on high alert, and preparations were already made to retreat back into the fortified areas of the Wizard Land.
However, now it appeared that the formidable offensive from the Judgement Court was not effective at all, no different from the kingdom’s rabble, and had been routed by their new weapons.
“No, this time the Judgement Court’s main force only launched a probing attack with limited losses; the ones who died were mostly cannon fodder.
The next battles won’t be so simple!” Lynn shook his head, this time they had exposed too many weapons and intelligence, and the Judgement Court would undoubtedly be prepared for their next attack.
Thinking this, Lynn looked towards Wilson, the alchemist in charge of researching and developing gunpowder.
He asked expectantly, “By the way, have you had any breakthroughs with the smokeless gunpowder and fixed ammunition I had you research?”
“That was completed a while ago!” the wizard named Wilson corrected his expression and then had someone bring over a rifle of special design.
“Also, we’ve already made the prototype of the breech-loading rifle you requested!”
