Nova Roma

Idril the minister of agriculture and leader of the elves spoke "I understand your majesty what is referred to in these documents about the divine blessings but how we can train this new organization to put an end to them"

Flavio smiled. "It’s pretty simple, we’ll use our best forces and train them in capture and elimination tactics.

The Inquisition will have its headquarters in Origin Civitatem and small headquarters in all places where there is a pillar of divine protection, its mission is not to take care of religious issues its only function is to protect from the threats that the conventional army can not stop "

Hellena agreed with her husband and explained to all the organization and form of the inquisition

"Now an important point is to choose the leader of the inquisition to be a military organization has full power the imperial family to elect the leaders while there will be 3 counselors elected by the ministers to help the leader of the inquisition, other 3 elected by the generals and one chosen by the people.

As for the criteria of the troops will be chosen among the most skilled humans who know how to handle some elemental magic.

Semihumans for their great capacity of strength is perfect for the work of capture will be delivered to them chains of gold with magic to be able to trap these humans with divinity.

The dwarves will have a logistical support work due to their great knowledge about metal and engineering they would be responsible for the construction of the bases and last line of defense for the protection of defense monuments.

The Nahuales are perfect for recognizing their great variety of animal spirits in which they can become perfect to spy and know if something unwanted wants to enter and disturb the Pax Romana.

For the chaneques, their function is to be messengers, although there are horses it is dangerous to leave them in the open air since they are a strategic animal, whereas the chaneque, despite being small, can run at great speeds ignoring the terrain. "

And finally, Flavio decided to make a weapon very advanced to his time for the elves, for that the first thing he did was to model one of the most iconic weapons used in the American Civil War.

While very carefully towards nitrocellulose paper, for that I use cotton to make a sheet of paper that I placed in a nitrating solution composed of sulfuric acid and nitric acid, to avoid an opposite reaction the container that was occupied was surrounded by ice I let it soak The sheet of cotton paper for 30 minutes and removed it to place it in a bath of sodium bicarbonate to neutralize the remaining acid.

He let the sheet of paper dry and cut it into rhomboid figures, while he made a lead bullet very similar to modern ones, with a little patience and resilience of resin I prepare nitrated paper cartridges which I fill with black powder and fold them. He created the perfect cartridge for the carbine he plans to make.

He repeated the process until he made a good amount of ammunition that was by his side took note of each step followed with illustrative drawings for the dwarves to imitate with precision.

After this Flavio met the dwarves who had finished the carbine the model he used as the basis was the iconic "Sharps 1859 Military Carbine" a classic in the firearms of the American Civil War and perfect for the needs of the Inquisition.

Because Flavio did not use a more modern rifle or better ammunition is due to technological limitations, smokeless gunpowder is obtained through a more complicated and delicate process the only reason why you can use this weapon is because Dwarven craftsmen can imitate it by forging completely including the internal mechanism.

To test it he gathered his ministers and showed them the power of this Carbine, using the lever loader placed one of his ammunition previously made, he took as the target of shooting a legion armor.

He aimed at the armor and opened fire, the shot was accurate to reload the gun again and shot again, the recharge time was just a few seconds much less than the musket.

Lucio his stepfather and chief of the city guard saw this weapon as something that could give the superior advantage over any enemy "Flavio because we can not build many and arm the common army"

Flavio shook his head "The process to make them is very complicated and expensive while we can barely build one of these and we made 30 muskets, not to mention that the nitrated paper is quite complicated to make, you can use a normal paper but it would reduce the power of the shot and the biggest problem is the consumption of saltpeter.

Currently, we only produce fecal waste but the quantity is minimal, before using any firearm in mass you need a guaranteed consumption of saltpeter the only place in America with those quantities is in the southwest, which is currently outside our plan. expansion.

That’s why this weapon is of perfect tactical use so that the elves can shoot causes more damage than a bow and if you put a sight you can shoot at more than 900 meters clear that depends on the shooter "

With this, all ministers officially nodded the inquisition could begin their recruitment work ...
