Lord of Rot

Chapter 219 Midnight Sun
At the same time that Hawkwood's order was delivered, the group of black armored cavalry had already rushed to the river bank. The soldiers accompanying Steven and the golden armored guards following Leopold drew their weapons and counterattacked, creating an opportunity for Steven Wen escapes with Agnes.

But at least 50 black armored cavalry rushed over, and they dispersed the team in an instant!

Several soldiers fell to the ground, motionless.

You can also see limbs flying and heads rolling.

Just as Steven struggled to help Agnes get on the horse, a rope was thrown and caught Agnes in an instant, and then Agnes was dragged by the rope and fell heavily to the ground, his life and death unknown.

"Hahaha!"

The black cavalryman pulling the rope laughed, dragged Miss Agnes for a distance, rode over, fished sideways, grabbed the poor and thin Agnes on the ground, and put it on his saddle.

The black horsemen slaughtered swiftly and took Agnes Leopold's carriage, and she brought many good things, which were riches.

Seeing his fiancée being robbed, Steven got up, roared and drew out his sword, and his sword was easily thrown away.

Boom!
The hammer hit Steven's breastplate, and he was thrown upside down and fell heavily to the ground.

The breastplate was slightly dented, and he was so shaken that he wanted to vomit blood.

Looking at the girl he loves, Steven still struggled to get up.

However, he was wearing full-body plate armor, fell to the ground like a tortoise being overturned, and couldn't stand up by himself.

He could only hear the laughter, the screams, and gritted his teeth with hatred.

Before the soldiers of the Three Forks River Fort rushed over, the black cavalry had already grabbed Agnes and left with a cart full of treasures.

Hawkwood rode quickly to the bank of the river.

The subordinates tried to chase, but were stopped by Hawkwood: "Don't chase."

The other party came prepared, and if they catch up now, they will only fall into a trap.

Moreover, those dozens of black cavalry were extremely powerful, slaughtering more than 20 soldiers present, but none of them died, and the soldiers in the castle chased them to death.

"Steven!" Hawkwood got off his horse and helped his son up.

His handsome face was stained red with blood.

Fortunately, Steven put on the plate armor flamboyantly before setting off, otherwise he would have died in the collision with the iron hooves just now.

"Agnes, Agnes, she was captured by those robbers!" Steven couldn't help but growl: "I'm going to save her!"

"You'll save her," said Hawkwood, "but not yet."

He had the heart to tell his son that those people were not robbers at all, they must have come from some noble.

It seems that the marriage between himself and Leopold has made some people feel unhappy.

……

The keel scale armor failed to be made successfully, because the bones of the Wyvern were too hard. The blacksmiths used many methods, but only part of the bones were broken in the end.

Therefore, the keel scale armor originally planned to be made entirely of biped wyvern bones had to be changed into keel plate armor.

That is, a keel is attached outside important parts such as the breastplate and helmet of the plate armor.

Some finely broken keels were also pieced together in the arms, thighs and other places.

Double-layer protection, absolutely safe, completely avoiding the situation of being hammered and broken.

"Just like an undead knight." Li Qi was quite satisfied with the appearance of this revised plate armor.

Then there is the power test.

Take a slaughtered and bloodletted pig, buckle the front half of the breastplate on the pig, and then directly hit it with a hydraulic forging hammer.

Boom!
The heavy hammer fell.

The plate armor shook.

Remove the plate armor, the plate armor is not deformed.

Looking at the pork again, the ribs were not broken, but slightly deformed.

"The keel absorbs most of the impact force. With this thing, the armor-piercing hammer doesn't have to be afraid."

It can save your life, a good thing.

"That's right." Li Qi nodded, "After it's cleaned, send it to the castle."

"Yes, my lord!"

Although the use of keels is still very low-level, Li Qi is quite satisfied, he does not lack keels.

According to visual estimates, it can equip another twenty or thirty soldiers.

All the first batch of cavalry trained can be equipped with keels.

The real undefeated cavalry.

Li Qi was in a good mood.

And Betty's alchemy workshop is almost built.

……

"pici, pici"

Pitts, who was wearing a short shirt and light armor, kept making noises, and cats appeared beside her.

Compared with foxes, Li Qi has found a better way to prevent and control rodent pests, and that is to raise cats.

Raise a large number of cats, let Pitts control and guard the granary, and occasionally let her control a few mice, search for the mouse nest, and then catch them all.

Today's porcupine collar is already a strange sight.

The serfs ignored the killer bees flying overhead.

The members of the security team were followed by dogs, ordering and forbidding.

You can even see cats climbing on the walls and roofs. Although they spend most of their time basking in the sun and sleeping late, as soon as a mouse appears, all the cats will be alert and start a big siege.

The porcupine collar has entered the ultimate form of biological control. Because it can communicate with each other, animals and humans can live in harmony as long as they obey the rules.

The only problem is that it is very difficult for animals to control their animal nature, just like dogs, they will rush up when they see meat, so the dogs are always tied with a rope around their necks.

There are much fewer mosquitoes and flies here than in other places in summer, but the smoke from charcoal burning billows into the sky, and there are a lot of sawdust flying in the air.

"Chirp!" A bird flew over and hung in front of Pitts.

"what!"

Startled, Pitts got up quickly, pinched his lips and whistled.

Then, a loud horse neighed, and a fast horse rushed over. Pitts got on the horse and said, "Go and find your lord!"

Because Li Qi spent too much attention on musket making and magic scrolls, Li Qi handed over the job of sentry to Pitts. She can communicate with animals and is very suitable for these tasks.

It's a pity that he can't compare to the beast whisperer at the Round Table, who can even control Goshawk.

Starting from the village of Porcupine Collar, after riding for a long time, the castle disappeared behind him, and a small valley appeared in front of Pitts.

"boom!"

There was a loud explosion.

The horse under his crotch was frightened, and Pitts quickly bent down, patted the horse, and comforted it.

The alchemy workshop is located in a remote place with a huge open space.

Li Qi was holding a relatively bulky musket at this time.

Thick white smoke emitted from the gun barrel, blocking the line of sight.

There is a small hole in the target not far away.

After many times of corrections, the range of the musket is about the same as that of the ordinary crossbow of the modern era, and the accuracy is indeed slightly worse, not so accurate, and the general direction can be controlled.

That is to say, each gun has its own temper, which needs to be figured out by the user.

As for bows and arrows, excellent archers may far exceed muskets in terms of shooting range, and their accuracy is not bad, but the archery skills of most archers are actually not as good as using crossbows. Nowadays, fewer people use bows in war, and more people use crossbows .

"Basically, the direction of shooting can be determined, and it can be mass-produced"

Li Qi was quite satisfied with the effect of this gun.

It's a pity that Scholar Thomas and Betty's research methods are different. One is on the magic side, and the other is on alchemy. If the two can work together to research, maybe in the future they can create a magic hostile air alchemy missile, or magic self-tracking Gatling. of.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes from afar, Li Qi put down his gun and walked out of the shooting range.

Pitts got off his horse and said, "My lord, there are some knights in armor outside the porcupine collar."

"Ok?"

"How far is it?"

"It will take about half a day."

Li Qi's consciousness merged into the "Eagle Eye" in an instant, and he kept switching perspectives, finally found the flying bird that had been circling in the sky, and saw the uninvited knights.

The banner is a group of horses with hoofs raised.

"Raising Hoof Horse" Li Qi looked at the flag: "It looks familiar, it seems to be... the Cavendish family."

Knight family, no fief.

But the great thing about this family is that both generations of father and son are very good on the battlefield, especially the heir of the Cavendish family, Philip Cavendish, who won many battles with his own efforts when he was 20 years old. He was made a knight and known as the Midnight Sun.

He is also the leader of the First Knights of Roaring Castle.

"What is he doing here?"

I have no communication with Cavendish.

"Let's go back and have a look."

Li Qi rode on his horse, followed by Pitts, who was also riding a horse, and rushed back to Porcupine Castle.
