    by Patricia Moore Corel marches his beaten army into Tyrol. He, like Danial, had suffered immense defeat against Rose's musketeer forces. As they march in the streets, the people, who were busy with their own lives, turned around to take a look. They saw their clothes and armor riddled with holes, with the peasant infantry covered in dirt and mud, all slowly marching with their heads pointed to the ground, as if they suffered disgrace.

As for defenses, he saw that soldiers were putting up barricades, and pikes all over, forcing his troops to move a certain way. There were also some knights on horseback present, ready to charge. With the arrangement…

Danial had successfully retreated back to Browntown, where his soldiers healed back up, potions were brewed and refilled, and messengers were sent out to the others.

The three looked at the fulminate, before looking at each other. "Now what we need to do is to test it," Kant commented. "Well sire, should I cast a fire spell?" Mira asked the prince. "Negative. I want to test its reaction to friction first. We can do the heat test later," Kant replied. Mira sighed at his answer. "I understand sire.…

    by Patricia Moore It took Kant a day after testing the rifled musket to come up with a proper percussion cap lock system to be fitted and replace the flintlock system as if he going to waste time building a whole new rifle. A percussion cap is a single-use ignition device that would allow it to fire in any weather. It was one of Kant's top priorities, for once the percussion cap is invented, it would allow for more complex guns to be built in the future. Kant got Arjun to get Paul to set up a meeting with Alchemist…

The two walked around the streets. Since the day was just getting started, people started to open up and set up their businesses. Marco's eyes did start spotting new products every other day, especially in terms of…
