Chapter 40 Distinction between the progress and the glory

A young man with cold eyes was sitting on the throne that was surrounded by swords and guns on the side, showing the supreme might of the kingdom where he was absolute.

As a king, he was a benevolent loving king, as a person he was a devious person who never bothered to kill a person for his goal and as a warrior he was an honorable man with proper etiquette. However, he only showed his kindness to his men and those who were worthy of his act, but not to those who were redeemed to be worthless and crude.

Although he was sitting on this throne for a brief time, no one dared to question his leadership due to the high council and his iron grip on his kingdom.

This was a man who was enthroned by his self aka Constantine the Great. He took out the old title of Khan and enshrined himself as the new era of this kingdom along with the council.

Clash*

The newest technology of the military was presented in front of the king, showing the advancement of their might once again. The onlookers looked at the steaming sword that was slowly turning into red-hot metal despite its ordinary look.

" Please, my lord. This is the newest technology of the sword that we have created by using the technology of the Crown. We used their new mana stone to power up the magic circle in the core of the sword and it only heats the body, therefore not harming the user. Although there were a few difficulties in our initial research, we overcame them by inventing the gauntlet that could perfectly handle the sword. As you can see this sword cut any steel like butter and even damage the proud armor of Stormwind knights."

The head scientist Arcadia presented the sword while showing the might of the new era. He then pulled out another weapon from the crate.

Unlike the sword, it was a regular looking gun, but it wasn't a single-shot gun and they could tell it by looking at the unusual structure of the body of the gun. The barrel was short compared to the modern guns, there was an iron sight on the tip of the barrel while there was a strange-looking iron rod on the end.

" This is our proud invention, Machine Gun type 0- Roxana. Compared to the old-era guns. This thing can shoot continuously and it can penetrate almost every normal armor on the continent, including the heavy armor. Also, we are searching for a way to penetrate the magical armor with this thing. The weight of this gun is around 5 kg."

Arcadia huffed while wiping his drool with excitement. The feeling of self-satisfaction reached into his heart, creating a blood rush in his body.

The general who was sitting next to Constantine, put his chin on his hand to confess his feelings to the public. His cold eyes were scanning the weapons with keen interest, weighing the pros and cons inside his head since there was no perfect weapon in this world.

" Arcadia, I believe these aren't your full new lines, right?"

He asked, knowing this man was hiding something in his sleeves. Arcadia wasn't a type of a person who would call the authorities for just a few toys. Even though these things were revolutionary, the war doesn't occur between normal soldiers because there was tactical, strategic weapons with powerful powerhouses that could massacre entire squads.

Arcadia sulked when he heard his words because they weren't wrong at all. He was leaving the tastiest candies for the last, but this spoiled his fun.

" Army type 01 Explosive Bomb with a blast radius of 5 meters that is enough to kill a person who is level 3 and injure level 4. Also, an advanced warfare golem that is capable enough to detect people by using heat magic. If my calculations are right, these two could create a potent force that could rival griffin riders, goblin bombers, and a wyvern rider."

He said, taking out a shiny object with 5 sides along with a bird-looking device that was a little bigger than hawk.

Constantine was intrigued, thinking this could change the outcome of his wars.
