Heroes of the Invincible call a thousand troops

When the first wave of huge arrow rain fell, De Yong sneered from behind.If it was an ordinary army, they might be afraid of a rain of arrows of this scale, but now he is leading a heavy infantry regiment that his father exhausted almost all the war resources and carefully built.

Orcs are iron deficient!

It's not that there are no mines in their empire, it's just that the overall industry of the empire is very backward, and there is rarely large-scale smelting of steel. They have a lot of leather armor and vine armor. These can be obtained from nature and then processed through simple processing. .

Most orcs are equipped with these relatively backward armors. As for the rare iron armors that require too much industry, they can almost only be plundered from other races, especially human races.However, due to the relative frailty of human beings, most of the orcs are tall and strong, and the armor picked up from the dead is actually unusable, and the result of forcing them to wear will explode!

These rare iron equipment cannot be used directly, but it does not mean that they are useless.These problems can be solved as long as there are craftsmen who return them to the furnace and transform them.Therefore, in the later stage of orc plunder, there is also a need to plunder artisans, mainly human and dwarf artisans, who are captured and imprisoned, and forced to transform equipment for orcs in various ways.

Some people may have questions, how to transform?Could it be that after melting the iron, it was rebuilt?So what's the difference between this and recasting?Is it difficult for ordinary craftsmen to do this?

You are right, if this method is used, the difficulty and output will be greatly restricted.

Let's actually modify an outfit?

Suppose the orcs snatched a trophy from a poor human armored warrior, a pair of iron bracers!Both workmanship and materials are superior.What if the orcs want to use it?

How big is a human arm?How big are the arms and wrists of an orc?If you put it on directly, you will definitely not be able to get it in!

Melted directly into molten iron and then recast.How difficult is this?How much manpower will be consumed?

Actually do that?

The iron bracers produced by humans are generally cylindrical.The whole is one piece.As long as these captured craftsmen heat it up, break the cylinder with tools, break it up while it’s hot, expand its diameter, and drill some small holes on both sides...

Once cool, thread some leather cords through these little spaces, and you're done!

When the orc warrior uses it, because the wrist guard has been broken.The wrist fits in, adjusts its position and straps it on, and you're done.The actual defensive power of these processed iron wristbands is not low...the orc sergeants are very fond of them!

What if there was a set of heavy iron breastplates?The orc sergeant's physique is completely different from that of a human...

There is also a way!You only need to separate the shoulders of the iron armor from the chest and back after processing, and then saw the waistlines on both sides, and install the corresponding leather ropes.Such a modified armor has a whole piece of iron armor on the front chest and back.The middle is all fixed with leather ropes, and the shoulders can also be made into the suggested shoulder armor to fix it, which is also a good pair of orc breastplates.

Someone is going to ask, what about the lower body?

The way the leggings are handled is a bit of a hassle.It needs to disassemble the iron trousers of humans into strips, then use leather skirts as linings, and tie them with leather ropes.An iron skirt type is formed, which can also play a certain protective role.the same way.The same can be done for other parts of the helmet.In order to prevent someone from saying that I cheated on the number of words, I won’t go into details here!To sum up, the orcs don't have the ability to mass-produce steel armor, but they can "copycat" something.

However, there is still a gap between authentic products and counterfeit products.If it is genuine human heavy armor, it can completely ignore Arrow Rain, because it has almost no defensive dead ends.These are simply processed by the cottage, which is different. The gap between these leather ropes is the real dead corner!

The Orc Reloaders themselves knew this better than anyone.They will pay great attention to avoiding the arrows that shoot into these areas. The tauren can put up a big shield to cover them, but the tiger people have no shields, so they have to think of other tricks...

These guys expose more parts of their bodies with high defenses, and use weapons or their own arms to cover dangerous positions.This may reduce the speed slightly, but the harm will be minimized accordingly.

In fact, the seemingly astonishing rain of arrows this time has caused some losses to the orcs. It is impossible for everyone to protect themselves so well. There are always some unlucky guys who are shot by some unlucky arrows , the fatality rate is not high, but the injury rate is still somewhat...

Lynch was dissatisfied, because he felt that the long-range troops he had put so much effort into organizing did not achieve the expected purpose.De Yong was also dissatisfied. In his opinion, what his hoplites were most afraid of would be the rain of arrows, and casualties should be kept to a minimum.

Regardless of the thoughts of the commanders on both sides, the battle must continue...

Lynch is about to make a killing move...

The Royal Mage Corps was established by Lin Tian hard. The number of people is not large, and it has been maintained at a scale of 1 people. The strength of the personnel is not too strong. The strength among intermediate magicians.Because mages are relatively rare and more powerful, Lin Tian generally rarely let them show up.

There may be some differences from the noble mages we generally think of. The mages of the Royal Mages do not know much magic and the level of magic is not high. Generally, they also know some small fireballs, ice arrows, wind blades, electric balls, and stone bombs. There are a small number of small magic spells, and there are a few more powerful ones that may shoot some big fireballs, lightning, ground thorns, etc., but these people are considered to be captains or elites, and the number is even rarer. It's all little magic!

Don't think that these royal mages are useless just because they are all small magic...

If you want to talk about defense, mobility, and even vitality, these mages are the scum of the scum.In order not to affect the absorption of magic elements, almost all of them wore cloth robes, and the few who wore leather armor were already different, let alone equipped with metal equipment that would obviously affect the collection of elements.This directly restricts their ability to resist ordinary attacks. It is really normal that their defense is low!

In terms of vitality, these mages prefer to spend a lot of time meditating and comprehending the elemental world. While their mental strength is much higher than that of others, they cannot exert their physical strength like warriors at all, so in terms of physical strength and mobility, they are also are all at a disadvantage.

The only thing they can be proud of is that terrifying instant attack power... (to be continued...)
