The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 116 The Wind of Fencing
Although the new method is sufficient for the production of guns, it also brings a new problem.

The production sequence of the territory is too occupied, and Ickert does not want all the blacksmiths to devote themselves to the production of guns.

One or two of these powerful weapons are enough to deal with powerful transcendents, and there is no need to make more.

If it does not reach a certain number, the impact of firearms on the battle situation will not be too strong.

Now what is really closely related to the combat effectiveness of the territory is actually the equipment of the Ratmen.

Armor and carrying equipment, these things are destined to not be produced by Ikert, but they have to be made.

Although there is an advantage in organization, Ickert, who has no advantage in the number of rats, can't afford to die.

The matter of the metal breastplate can be put aside for the time being. To deal with the gnolls who are slightly taller than the Shushu, Ickert plans to use a wooden breastplate and iron shoulder armor to arm the Shushu.

The defensive power of the wooden breastplate is unquestionable, and it can withstand a few knives again, and some leather skirts and iron headguards are needed.

Ickert swears that he has absolutely no reference to Rome in his outfit for the Ratmen.

It's a pity that I can't get some bronze helmets.
However, Ikert managed to gather enough Gnoll hairs, dyed them red with berries, and stuck them on each captain's armor head.

The shape is of course curved.

In order to mass-produce these iron armors, the traditional forging method must not be counted on, so Ikert set his sights on casting again.

Thanks to the newly discovered river sand, Ickert has the confidence to cast.

The method of casting is also very simple. First of all, Ickert once again dispatched his partner guards to bring back a lot of river sand in the dark.

Fine and moist river sand is the key to casting, of course, a good mold is also indispensable.

The mold has to rely on the master carpenter, and the skilled old Kent quickly rubbed out the molds of each plate.

Then, a durable sand box is also built by the carpenter, followed by the process of sieving, pounding, scraping, inserting the mold, and repairing the mold.

This set of Ickert has been mastered in the work training practice in the previous life.

The blacksmiths also learned the casting method very quickly. Within a few days, the territory cast the first batch of plate armor at an astonishing speed.

Since the pacesetter rats and clan rats of the companion guard were all assigned chain mail, these armor pieces were first equipped to other ratmen.

At the same time, "water bottles and leather grain bags made of cork and bamboo tubes were also distributed to the companion guards. Ickert plans to weave some back baskets in the next step to allow the rats to adapt to long-distance combat.

After arranging the production tasks in the territory again, Ickert thought about taking the mice out to sweep them again.

This time he wants to do it more thoroughly, and strive to seize the tribe's property to the greatest extent.

Before leaving, though, Ickert had to make some improvements to the thermometer.

"Hammerhead, where's the forbidden magic thermometer stored here?"

"Here, my lord, to be honest, we can't make spring steel at all without you here."

"Don't worry, Hammerhead, I'm here to settle this matter."

The problem that the blacksmiths could not carry out heat treatment independently has actually troubled Ickert for a long time.

But the new capture has given Ickert the ability to solve the problem.

The first is to refine magic materials.

This process can be very simple or very complex, the simplest method is to add crushed high-quality gemstones to the metal solution.

Secondly, you can also crush the magic crystal and add it.

Having seized enough magic crystals, Ickert couldn't help squandering them.

With the addition of Mana Crystals, the Arcane Thermometer will still work properly.

Ickert connected the scales again, and after smearing the stripped warrior's blood, he connected a small light technique to the scale lines.

This light technique also requires a gem to channel atmospheric magic.

That's right, the thermometer made by Eckert is actually from Tiandi Energy for nothing.

According to the principle of magic pressure, magic power will always flow from places with high concentration to places with low concentration.

The magic pressure of the light technique connected to the scale line is lower than the magic pressure of the atmosphere, and as long as the magic power in the magic circle is consumed, the magic pressure of the atmosphere can quickly enter the magic circle through the magic conductor.

And as long as the liquid inside the forbidden magic thermometer rises, the scale line below it will go out.

In this way, real-time display can be achieved.

Hammerhead and other blacksmiths were amazed by the rebuilt thermometer.

Especially after listening to Ickert's introduction, although the effect of the light technique, which is less than the magic pressure of the atmosphere, is not strong, it is barely enough.

The point is, this thing is almost forever moving!

This is the power of the magic perpetual motion machine!

If there is a source of high magic pressure that can continue to prostitute for nothing, Ickert can't even imagine what the world will be like.

The magic power of Youlan is the future of the world's productivity development, and Eckert once again confirmed this idea.

The magic motive must be done.

It's not over after getting the thermometer. In order to attack the gnoll tribe farther away, Ikert has to make a compass.

Generally speaking, this thing is not complicated. It only needs a needle and a magnet, and the steel needle can be rubbed with the magnet in the same direction.

He did it when he thought of it, but he couldn't achieve the accuracy of a steel needle and compass, so he could only use smooth thin iron rods and perforated metal sheets instead.

The steel compass quickly responded, and one end slowly pointed to the north.

After Ickert finished marking it and protecting it with a round wooden box, he distributed the equipment to the scouts, and exhorted:
"Remember, your task is to detect the intelligence of the tribes around the territory, including productivity, population, food and technology level,
We need to pick a good tribe to slaughter. "

The scouts quickly understood what Ickert meant. The elite scouting force of the Eagle Eye Guard had been waiting for a long time and disappeared into the woods in a flash.

They are so actively involved in jungle scouting not only because of Iktor's rigorous training, but also because of the mating rights promised to them by the clan leader.

All races cannot do without Sese. Although the rats in the territory can already comfort themselves without the mother rat, they always want to try the taste of the mother rat because they yearn to become brothers and sisters.

In response to the needs of the Ratmen, Ickert developed a new project - Mating Volume.

Not long ago, the mating scroll made of bamboo was officially opened to all Ratmen as one of the rewards for the territory's military exploits.

Ratmen with a mating roll can choose any unowned female rat in the territory to mate with, and under normal circumstances, the female rat has no right to refuse.

This kind of system always gives Ickert the illusion that he is living in a book, but this move is indeed good for improving the rat man's work enthusiasm.

Some excellent model rats have already enjoyed this service in advance.

After having their first experience in life, Shushu became more and more determined to turn their partner into a mother.

A martial ethos of advocating fencing skills spread in the territory.

As long as they are qualified ratmen, they will pick up wooden swords and find someone to practice against.

All for the sake of not being turned into a mother rat.
