As it turned out, the technique for making white phosphorus bombs was not difficult, and the steam engineers of this world were not entirely ignorant of this chemical substance.

After Loyal Brother described the characteristics of white phosphorus, Little Sheron quickly brought him a sample.

This substance, known as “Bach Fire Wax” on this continent, was said to be a special material discovered by the esteemed Demi-Human Engineer, Old Bach·Gaslight, in his youth, and Demi-Human Engineers used it to create some complex ignition devices.

According to Ellen, some weapons made by the Demi-Humans employed white phosphorus, but apparently, the Demi-Human Engineers of this world weren’t so depraved as to fully weaponize such a substance.

Perhaps they knew it could be used as a weapon, but they kept it a secret until an otherworldly visitor revealed to Ellen another use for it besides ignition.

Ellen only knew that this substance was powerful, but she was still ignorant of the true horror of white phosphorus bombs.

“The results of the damage test are out.”

An armory designer known as “Nightmare Bat Puppet” ran up to Loyal Brother with a notebook and reported:

“We threw thirty Skeleton Soldiers into the blast zone.

After the test bomb exploded and burned thoroughly, only five remained active.

The rest suffered various degrees of severe burns, and more than twelve Skeleton Soldiers were completely reduced to ash.

It has been proven that the state of white phosphorus burning can completely destroy the bodies of low-level Skeleton Soldiers, and the intense heat it emits is enough to disrupt the undead intelligence sustained by the Netherworld’s aura.

I estimate we may have indeed found a new method to deal with the Skeleton Army, and its ability to affect a wide area instantly is definitely more useful than flame, especially since this stuff can’t be extinguished with water!”

“Good, then put it on the list for urgent production.”

Loyal Brother took the record book and glanced at it, saying:

“In addition to manufacturing high-altitude bombs, prepare a batch of white phosphorus Dragon Breath Bullets for the shotgunners that can clear specific points.

Forget about modifying grenades.

That substance is too dangerous.

A single mistake in throwing it could easily end up taking all the brothers in the entire trench to Avalon.

But, we could consider making artillery-fired white phosphorus bombs.

The first round of test firing of the napalm incendiary bombs was somewhat subtle…

We had to add Burning Gold Powder to them to maintain this level of intense blanket burning, proving that Alchemy in this world can’t do without the wonderful substance of Burning Gold.

Adding Burning Gold to the downgraded incendiary bombs made by Gebao transforms them completely, and I can hardly imagine the catastrophic consequences once real napalm bombs are perfected and then enhanced with Burning Gold.

Now, it seems that Stick Brother’s plan to burn down the swamp might actually be possible.

The precondition is that we’d need enough Burning Gold as an accelerant, ah, the problem is that Transylvania does not produce this stuff, which is really a headache!”

“As for Burning Gold, Lady Triss might have some in storage.”

The nearby Little Sheron said:

“I can write to some old friends of my mentor in Charldo Harbor, asking them to help send over some Burning Gold, though we might be a bit pressed for time.”

“Burning Gold is mainly mined by the Brass Dwarves, right?”

Sir Morphy’s voice suddenly rang out beside Ellen and Loyal Brother, and the Vampire Governor stepped out of the shadow, signaling the surrounding guards that there was no need for ceremony.

He looked at Ellen and said:

“I heard from Triss that although the Demi-Humans were the first to discover Burning Gold hundreds of years ago, they have to rely on the Brass Dwarves’ natural talent in mining to obtain sufficient quantities?”

“Yes, indeed.”

Ellen answered:

“By the Brass Fortress in the Dark Mountain Range, there lies the largest Burn Gold Mine discovered on the continent so far.

This material’s circulation on the continent is pretty much dominated by the mining companies of the Brass Dwarves.

Many people want to connect with the Brass Dwarves, but as one of the three dwarven kinds, no, as the nastiest-tempered race on the entire continent, the Brass Dwarves aren’t willing to deal with those with ulterior motives.

To procure from them on a large scale, just making the right connections could take a very long time.

Sir Morphy, do you have any contacts in that regard?”

“No, no, no, I don’t know any Brass Dwarves.”

Morphy shook his head, saying:

“But I do know a Silver Dwarf Marshal, and that fellow has a certain status within the dwarven society.

I also know a Vampire Lord who commands the respect of the Elf King when it comes to the Black Disaster.

Combining the two, I think we can sort out the Burning Gold matter before the Black Disaster arrives.”

After finishing, Morphy turned to Loyal Brother.

He stared at the otherworldly special forces leader for a few seconds of silence, and then he said:

“I know that using this kind of weapon might cause you intense guilt and unease, and I can promise not to use it in any conflict with civilized forces.

We are vampires but not savages; this stuff is inhumane to any sentient and emotional being.

But my armory chief, I need you to produce more of these appalling weapons when the Black Disaster strikes.

I need them in large numbers.

List them as the top priority for production!

I can allocate the necessary resources for you, and by the way, treat the war in the Polluted Swamp as a testing ground for the new weapons.

I want to give my generals and my soldiers some confidence.

I want them to know that we have the capability to stop and repel the threat of the Wolf People.”

“By your command, Governor.”

Loyal Brother stood at attention on the spot and responded:

“I’ll draft a list for the administrative department.

As long as the resources are in place, we can start production immediately!

However, I need to recruit a batch of trustworthy local workers specifically for the production of these weapons.

This concerns the military secrets of Transylvania, and I can’t entrust their manufacture to the workers of the Cape Family.

Once the principle behind them is understood, the engineers of this continent can easily replicate them.

Secrecy is imperative.”

“Well, we do have a lot of unemployed Blood Servants.”

Morphy whispered:

“Their twisted and fanatical loyalty might be put to good use in the right place.”

That’s a wrap!
