Chapter 72 - Chapter 72: some new toys for sale

I lead the duke and his daughter out of the castle and into there city people stared and bowed to there duke and his daughter the duke nodded to everyone along with his daughter the duke walked next to me asking Azmo where are you leading us I grinned at him shrugging you will have to wait and see we walked for a few more minutes till I seen a shop it looked like a old smithy with a sign that read Stones and bones smithy this smithy looked abandoned or at least not well maintained but I walked in with a smile on my face the duke and Echo hesitating but following me unlike the outside thought the inside was clean and well maintained there was armor stands filled with fancy army and weapon racks filled to the brim with top tear weaponry at the back of this shop was a counter with a female dwarf with bright red hair behind the counter her skin was black and her bright blue eyes was barely open as her head kept on slumping forward on her hand as her eyes closed but as her head moved forward her eyes shot open this happened a few times but when I walked up to the counter the womans slowly looked up at me with sleep deprived eyes but the moment she seen my face her eyes shop open yelling your Azmo Gimli told me about you and who is this with you holy shit is that the duke and his daughter in my family humble shop by the gods I think I am going to faint I chuckled asking is Gimli in the back she looked to me quickly nodded yes to be honest kid you have made my families life a living hell with your contraptions and what is that beauty on your hip and she stared at my revolver I chuckled patting it saying a old new friend and I am sorry that I thrust this responsible on you and I bowed my head slightly the woman waved her hand laughing no need I may not have gotten any sleep last night it was fun it has been to long sense my family and I got to try something challenging but please go on back I nodded thank you again misses stones and I walked around the counter and walked through the door behind her I looked back to the duke and echo who was still standing in front of the counter well are you coming or not I asked as I started walking down stairs the duke side and looked to his daughter and nodded and they followed me we walked down stairs till we was completely under the city that is when the stairs opened up into a huge cave and at the center of this cave was a huge forge and running around this forge was about 50 dwarfs all with bright red hair and black skin mixed into them I seen Gimli talking with a elderly looking Dwarf but when I say elderly this mans beard and hair was a mix of white and bright red and his back was slightly hunch but other then that he had all the muscle of any of the young dwarfs they was standing next to a finish steal cannon these was the cannons Gimli designed and attempted to make I simply tweaked a few things like the metal the cannon was made out of and the locking mechanism that closed the back of the cannon before firing of course sitting next to it was 3 different types of shells one normal explosive shot  one grapeshot and one fire shot I wanted to make the last round a gas instead of fire but Gimli insisted that we couldn't us such a thing I disagreed with him but since it was him overseeing this project I let him choose I walked up to Gimli but I didn't speak I simply looked over the cannon making sure everything worked Gimli smiled at my actions asking what do you think Azmo will it but I slotted a blank shell into the back of it I then waved my hand when I did I used the sound barrier that I used in the pining room but just around the cannon I grinned at Gimli and the elder as I grabbed the string saying only one way to find out if it works or not and I pulled the string before anyone could stop me the cannon rolled back as a white cloud came out from the barrel I breathed in that smell the smell of gun powder or blasting rocks in the morning wow now that's the good shit I yelled ant no better drug them explosives and blasting rock but that's when Gimli matched up to me and started to yell what ghe fuck was you thinking what if the damn thing exploded with us next to it I shrugged grinning at him saying I will make a damn good speach for your funeral Gimli snarled but the old dwarf started to laugh and walked next to me chuckling you must be Azmo my name is Stones I nodded and gave him a farm handshake I was a bit surprised at this old man grip strength but he was also shocked at my strength so we grinned at each other and I laughed saying its good to meet you old timer good work on the cannon he chuckled and we let go of each other as he shook his head saying naa kid you and Gimli did all the work we just following the blueprint I nodded and looked to the Duke who was staring at the cannon with wide shocked eyes I chuckled saying Duke allow me to introduce you to a cannon he nodded and walked next to the cannon looking it over the old timer bowed his head to the duke wall Gimli grinned up at me asking so did he agree I laughed do you truly think I would show him this if he didn't this reminds me and I looked to the corner of the room to see Shosa helping with swinging a huge hammer the big boy was shirtless and slaving over helping the dwarfs I nodded good Shosa I yelled he swung again before looking to me he said something to the dwarfs he was working with they looked over at me nodding Shosa handed the hammer to the other dwarf and ran over to me saying you called sir I nodded yes Duke White this is Shosa my dearest friend and the seen second in command of the demonic legion he is also the one who will be training anyone that joined my tribe if you wished to start training a army he is the man to talk to Shosa this is the Duke of this city who I have struck up a deal with if he brings you people train them he slammed a hand to his chest yelling yes sir I nodded the Duke looked to Shosa reaching out his hand saying a pleasure mate Shosa shook his hand saying the feeling is mutual sir people if you need something don't be scared to ask especially if its about training soldiers Azmo trained me to be the best at my job the duke nodded dually noted and they let go of each others hand I nodded looking to Shosa saying I got words for you big guy go and send out Mesh and a few of her troops I have heard about many other monster tribes who are being ruled by the elves like slaves we will liberate them tell her to offer a place in my tribe Harriet can help Mesh with the locations but that's when Echo stepped forward saying actually I could help them also with your promotion master Azmo and father the Duke shrugged as long as you dont go out your self I am fine with it she then looked over to me with wide hopeful eyes I chuckled ok little one go with Shosa and you Shosa protect her got it he nodded yes sir and like that they left the duke looked over to me asking so these cannons is your big plan I laughed sir Duke with all do respect you have not idea on that these cannons can do they will be greatly beneficial to us but no that's not but with your help The Stones family will over see the production of these cannons with all your other craftsmen but we won't tell them what they are working on sense it will be an option line so even if we got rats among us they wont understand what they are making till its to late wall the Stones family out fights you and your new troops personally it wont take many of them to watch over the option line so the others will be free to work but if we wish to fight against the elves we are going to need more then a few cannons and foot soldiers a Calvary is a must but my tribe will fill that rule next we will need a spy network information is half of the battle Harriet would be a perfect fit to lead them the Duke nodded saying I agree but what about my man what do you think we should outfit them with mmmm Gimli what are the main types of armor used Gimli thought about it for a moment but it was the old timer who answered most dukedoms and kingdoms us scale mail it is relatively cheaper then chain male or plate and it has pretty good protection from slashing damage and if you was wondering long swords is the main type of weapon used that or Claymore or bastard swords but I want to remind you the elves pride them on magic so that is something we will have to worry about the only people who us plate armor or chainmail is the knights and royal family or a very rich soldier I nodded Gimli out up a plate armor on a dummy he nodded and yelled and gave out orders to everyone and soon a chest plate and bucket helmet was placed in front of me on a armor stand I looked to Gimli asking do you have it he nodded and walked to a work table and walked back to me handing me a pepper box pistol the chambers turned and locked in place as I waving my hand the armor stand shooting across the room as it did I pulled back the flint hammer and with pin point accuracy I shot 3 shots from the hip two punching right through the chest plate right overt where a heart would be my last shot punched right through the center of the helmet which through it into the air I looked to the Duke with a huge grain saying welcome to the power of lead and shot Duke white but if you will want these weapons you will have to both buy the weaponry and ammo for these boomsticks o also if this weapon ever falls into the hands of someone who didn't buy them of us and they us are weaponry against us all my boom sticks will have a rune on it that will detonate on my command so think very careful of your answer but the looked turned to me and looked at the boom stick in my hand with greed in his eyes but he controlled himself saying ok Azmo we will buy them off you but do you have a longer one that shoots farther I chuckled handing the gun back to Gimli nodding yes sir I call it a musket best part about all of this is these muskets can have a blade affixed to the top of the boom stick making it a pike ones more I know of a blade design that can punch straight through scale mail and chain mail armor these will come with the rifle but if I was you I would also give my troops a either pikes or estoc maybe both but of course you will get a discount sense we are currently using your city as our base of operations so till we find a find a real base you will get a discount the duke grinned happily asking so who do I talk to for a order me and walking passed some dwarfs and walked next to the cannon was Fire shockingly she looked over to me with a happy smile and a intense fire in those eyes well that is if sir Azmo allows it I chuckled nodding I dont mind Fire but you're still new to this hole business thing so I will leave you with the old timer learn from him and do me proud Fire smiled happily and nodded I will thank you Azmo I nodded waving my hand saying no need I have full confidence in your skill after all I am the one who taught you so learn and become a even better smith then you are right now she nodded I will thank you thank you I chuckled but before the duke could walk away to talk with Fire and the old timer misses Stones came storming down the stairs with Branden the moment Branden seen the duke he rushed forward and kneeled down in front of him saying Duke I got news the duke side turning to Branden saying this better be good Branden speak yes sir and he looked up at the duke saying we just got word the dwarf and elves  envoy are being attacked by the demon supporters the duke snarled what you got to be kidding me I walked next to the Duke as I looked to Gimli asking is the last thing I asked for ready he nodded yes Azmo its with Artemis already I nodded Good your with me Gimli I looked to the duke with a huge grin asking you got something better to slip into sir he laughed indeed I do lets go Azmo we got some traders to kill I laughed o is it douche bag hunting season my favorite and like that we all ran out of the shop and back to the castle where I rushed to the stables and the duke rushed into the castle I quickly fed Artemis her favorite meat as I put on her armor but I then hooked her to someone I hopped into it Gimli getting in behind me I flicked the reins Artemis charged out of the stables and sa we curved around a corner my war chariot made sparks as it scraped against the stone ground this chariot was painted black I pulled the reins stopping in front of the castle where my Tribe was assembled but I seen Branden on his armored war steed but this one looked different compared to the one I seen him on before this beast was huge its muscles was the side of my head and its eyes glared at me angrily there was 5 other knights on similar steeds but I noticed there was two empty steeds left that's when the doors to the castle opened and the Duke came running out as he put on a silver and light blue knights helmet his full plate armor was the same color his long sword on his hip and a silver heater shield that had the white swan in the center of her next to him pulling on gauntlets was Echo she had on a chainmail shirt and over that was a silver and blue breastplate her gauntlets looked well warn and basic so did her chainmail and plate armor pants but she had on a simple helmet with no visor unlike her father on her left hip was her rapier and on her right was a long knife and on the back of her belt was a flintlock pistol at half-cocked I chuckled seeing this father and daughter duo run up to there steeds and jump onto them The duke looked to me saying on your mark Azmo I laughed and pulled out my skull helmet and put it on as I did Duke and Daisy jumped off the stairs and landed next to me both reading to run I held up my hand yellow demonic legion its dick head hunting season ready Shosa members screamed rumble, rumble rumble I nodded duke and his people ready yes sir they yelled I nodded good then what the fuck are we waiting here for its time to fuck some shit up with that I tighted my hand on the reins as I flicked them when I did Artemis launched forward and like the chariot shot down the road as I moved Shosa took his normal spot being me on my right and Mesh in my left but in-between them was the duke and his daughter I grinned feeint the thrill of driving a chariot Gimli behind me in the other hand was holding on for dear life .
