Ambition Lord

Chapter 194 Shooting and killing high-level knights
Hearing that Rael dared to ask the Duke to change his heir so directly, the eyes of the other three ministers showed surprise. This guy is really brave!

At this time, Grand Duke Diff looked ugly, and said coldly to Leil: "Then, who do you think is the best candidate for the future Duke?"

"This is not up to Rael to decide, everything is decided by the Duke!" After hearing this, Rael would not answer the Duke's question rashly.

"What do you three think?" Grand Duke Diff glanced at Leel dissatisfiedly, then turned to look at the other three.

"Everything is decided by the Duke!" Kurt said first.

"Follow the Duke's arrangement!" The other two also said in unison.

"Go down! I have a decision on this matter!" Grand Duke Difu snorted coldly, and left with the help of his servants.

At this time, the Minister of State Cotter was walking side by side with the Minister of War Naxon.

"Cotter, what do you think Rael is doing today, dare to mention such a thing in front of the Duke?" Naxon asked curiously, Naxon, who is a soldier, is naturally no match for Kurt and other civil servants. , I can't figure it out, so he can only ask Kurt.

"Nason, you should know how Rael was promoted from a small official to the Minister of Finance!" Kurt smiled.

"He married his younger sister to Grand Duke Difu!" Naxon said directly, and everyone knew about it.

Rael, who was originally just a small official in Kane's leadership, started to rise all the way up to the Minister of Finance after marrying his sister to the Grand Duke Div.

"Rayle is not a fool. He dared to propose such a thing to the Duke at the court today. Naturally, he had his purpose. Don't forget, he also has a nephew! Hehe!" Kurt laughed.

"Your Excellency Roja?" Naxon was startled, and suddenly realized that Lord Roja is also the son of Grand Duke Difu and Leier's nephew.

"Naxon, I'll give you a piece of advice, it's best not to get into this muddy water!" Kurt shook his head and said.

After Naxon heard this, he didn't speak, but just thought for a moment. Unlike Kurt, who has a family as a backer, Kurt's family is the richest merchant family in Kane, and contributes a lot of wealth to the Duke every year. The replacement of the Duke's title is fundamental. Can't affect him.

He has already noticed the situation today. The situation of the Duke is very pessimistic. It is uncertain when there will be an accident. Once the title changes, his position as military minister is likely to be shaken. Matters related to self-interest are still relatively sensitive.

Seeing Naxon bowing his head in thought, Kurt left without saying anything.He has already given the advice, and it is his business how Naxon chooses.

…………

At this time, Heilan Island, in the Qinghuang Military Camp.

A Qinghuang warrior was holding the Qinghuang crossbow horizontally, staring intently at the target in front of him.

"put!"

Hearing an order, the soldier pulled the trigger instantly, and the arrow in the arrow slot pierced the air instantly, making a whining sound, and pierced the target 50 meters away.

Alan is now testing the protective power of the oil vine shield. The oil vine is a unique plant on Heilan Island, and Heisang Village weaves them into oil vine shields to defend against the ratmen's claw attacks, and Alan plans to use them in the future. They equip knights.

The oil rattan shield is strong and light, and it is just a one-handed shield suitable for cavalry. It is not used to defend against spears from the opposite side, but to defend against slashing and arrows flying from a distance.

Allen ordered someone to take the oil vine shield on the target, and the arrows shot from the Qinghuang crossbow at a distance of 50 meters completely penetrated the oil vine shield, and the arrow tip pierced into the target behind the oil vine shield.

Then Allen ordered someone to increase the distance to 100 meters and shoot again. Although the crossbow arrow broke through the defense of the oil vine shield again, it can be seen that the arrow was also stuck on the shield.

After that, Allen experimented with 120 meters, 130 meters and 150 meters, and finally came to the conclusion that the crossbow arrows could not break through the defense of the oil rattan shield at a distance of 130 meters.

Afterwards, Allen tested the square cutting characteristics of the oil vine shield, and found that as long as the cavalry warriors with the ultimate strength do not cut the shield along a straight line, other angled cuts will damage the oil vine shield, but they will also be tilted by the shield. Don't worry, it won't hurt anyone.

It can be seen from this that the oil rattan shield is a cavalry shield with better performance.

"How are those craftsmen doing their research?" Allen turned his head and looked at Barton next to him. Barton had been successfully promoted to an intermediate knight last night.

"My lord! After the experiments of Master Frau and the others, it was found that the tendons of the fire-spotted cattle are indeed the best material today!" Barton replied.

Fra and other craftsmen were military craftsmen drawn by Allen from the Logistics Bureau to repair worn-out and damaged weapons and equipment for the Qinghuang warriors on Heilan Island.

"Let's go! Come and see with me!" Allen casually threw the oil vine shield in his hand to the soldiers beside him, and led Barton to the repair shop.

A few minutes later, Allen came to the barracks repair shop.

"Master Viscount! We have already made the crossbow you want, please see if it fits!" At this time, a tall and strong middle-aged man said to Allen respectfully. This guy is what Barton just said Master Fra, who is also one of the carpenters in the Logistics Bureau.

"Did you choose the tendon of the fire-spotted cow to make the crossbow string?" Allen asked.

"That's right! Lord Viscount! After our experiments, apart from the tendon of the golden sheep, only the tendon of the fire-spotted cow meets the standard!" Frau nodded respectfully.

"Let's go! Let's go and have a look!" Allen motioned.

Walking into the tent of the training place, the crossbow that Fula just mentioned is placed in the middle.

I saw that this kind of crossbow is very different from the Qinghuang crossbow. First of all, it is the size. This crossbow is more than twice the size of the Qinghuang crossbow. It has two crossbow arms that are more than one meter long, and the crossbow machine below is also very huge. , can only be held firmly with both hands, and there are several arrows with metallic luster all over their bodies. These arrows are made of fine iron, about one meter long, thick as a thumb, and have blood grooves on both sides of the arrow body.

This is exactly the giant crossbow that Alan asked Fra and the others to build. It is a simple crossbow made by Alan after subtracting the wooden frame below from the design drawing of the bed crossbow.

This kind of crossbow is not as huge as an ordinary bed crossbow, and can be held by one person with both hands. It is a kind of crossbow that Allen wants to allocate to low-level knights. The maximum pulling force of the giant crossbow can reach [-] kilograms, which is just right for low-level knights to operate. .

The huge pulling force naturally needs better crossbow strings to support it. Under the experiments of Fra and the others, it was found that, in addition to the rare magic beast tendons such as the golden sheep, the tendons of the fire-spotted cow are the most suitable. Compared with the rare monsters Beast tendon, of course, is better than the animal tendon of the fire-spotted cow.

In addition to the tendons of the fire-spotted ox used for the crossbow string, the body and arms of the crossbow are also made of hard wood and monster bones.

As for Allen's purpose of making this giant crossbow, it is naturally aimed at high-level knights.
