Transcendent Noble

Snowflakes came with the new wind and put on the silver suit for Flatlake Town.

"It is a terrifying two-headed dragon. Its head is the size of a hut. It can swallow a cow in one bite!"

Crowded in the hall, talking lively about the dragon slaying incident not long ago. A well-informed person seems to have become the focus of everyone’s attention, where he saliva splash across, always aroused an exclamation when he talked about the wonderful things, from time to time to sell it, and someone would buy a glass of warm purple cane wine. , His flamboyant appearance finally aroused jealousy.

"The two heads of the evil dragon hung on the pillars of the square for a long time. How did you know that it was the legendary double-headed dragon? I heard that they were two earth-walking dragons... "

"What do you know?" The well-informed person's eyes scolded round and scolded: "Can a terrain dragon have wings? I saw a few sections of divided membrane wings come down from a carriage. "

"Yes! I saw it too, it's like a bat's fleshy membrane with a whole carriage...Only giant dragons have such wings, so yes!"

"I heard that the two-headed dragon is cruel and greedy. They will burn the town, steal all the treasures, and eat a pure virgin every day. We didn't expect that we were so close to a dragon ...Fortunately it was killed. Praise the benevolent Supreme Lord."

"And thank the great master, he summoned Knight to get rid of the dragon!"

"For Mi Father Le, to Father Conley, toast!"

"To the master, to the Randal Family, toast!"

Everyone applauded and raised their glasses. A youngster asked excitedly: "Giant dragons all have names, what is the name of the dragon that the owner killed?"

"Uh." The well-informed person burped with alcohol and blushed. "Itus... Gotus? Anyway, it has two heads, each with a name!"

"Yes, yes, yes, giant dragon Itus, Gotus !"

"Itus, Gotus! Itus, Gotus!"

The atmosphere in the tavern was pushed to a climax when the wine glass hit the table.

Itugos is not a giant dragon, but its size is comparable to that of a giant dragon. It is not easy to carry such a giant beast in Great Swamp, and there is a complex process for handling alienated flesh and blood, which cannot tolerate any sloppyness. In order to guard against the unexpected, Sylvia personally sits in the Silvermoon Manor, mobilizes 1,200 fang soldiers, more than 300 craftsmen and scholars, and builds a strong camp near the body of Itugos. Two Great Knights are in charge of guarding them. The priceless alien Dragon Transformation lizard was dismembered on the spot, and then transported to Flatlake Town in batches for fine processing. The processed alienated flesh and blood were then personally escorted back to Golden Water City by two other Great Knights. This work has continued for 28 days and is not over yet.

Alienation war beast is related to the future of the family. Knight and scholar of York's family are busy working on this matter. Of course, the church will not miss a good opportunity to promote the doctrine and inspire the people. The first class of Itugos was publicly displayed on the church square for half a day, which completely ignited the enthusiasm of Flatlake Town. People cheering excitedly, rushing to extol it, are happier than the harvest celebration.

The celebration of abundance is nothing more than eating and drinking for free, getting more rewards, and witnessing the deeds of slaying the dragon is enough to brag about the glory of a lifetime.

In this case, Itugos can only be a giant dragon, it must be a giant dragon. According to word of mouth, its head is inexplicably doubled, its bone spurs are treated as dragon horns, and its abdominal fins are like wings. Anyone who dares to question the identity of a giant dragon will be ridiculed and besieged by others.

The rumors of slaying dragons in fact strengthened the relationship between protection, redemption and dedication, which is conducive to strengthening the influence of the lord and the church, and the people's sense of belonging to the Randal Family. Naturally, Victor will not come forward to clarify the truth , Just as the people were reveling, he was testing a new weapon with Master Edwin.

"Boom!"

The iron oak target wrapped in the steel essence armor trembled. A guard approached the iron essence crossbow that penetrated the wooden target, and shouted: "100 meters away, in the middle of the armor, completely penetrated! "

Victor lifted the shooting position and held a dark military crossbow. He was nodded with satisfaction. He had already seen the test results with his eyesight. The guards actually called Master Edwin to listen.

"I'm not wrong, this crossbow made of keel steel has an effective range of 280 meters. It penetrates the standard steel essence armor within 100 meters, which has exceeded your requirements." Master Edwin side Brushing off the snowflakes on the cloak, he complained: "Actually, the foot crossbow is nothing new. Its rate of fire is not as fast as that of a crossbow, and its formidable power and range are not as good as military heavy crossbows..."

Victor carefully looked at the new crossbow in his hand, said with a smile: "Its formidable power is not much worse than a military heavy crossbow..." Hearing this, Edwin blew his beard and exclaimed, "That It's because of the keel steel! This foot crossbow consumes enough keel steel to make four stronger military heavy crossbows. Victor, the manufacturing cost of the keel steel foot crossbow is too high and it is impossible to popularize. In fact, the technology of the self-military heavy crossbow After maturity, the foot crossbow will be eliminated."

Sylvia's dual-army system made Victor deeply realize that Radiance Church is a huge organization with strict self-discipline. At the bottom of the code, the priest will not interfere with the army building of the Randal Family.

Removing political concerns, Victor ambitiously began to perfect his mercenaries. However, the races of this world all kinds of strange things, they each have their own innate talents, it seems a bit out of place to copy the ancient military system of Earth, but Victor is not reconciled to just let mercenaries serve as auxiliary soldiers.

Victor has Alchemy Tower and Peak soldier training methods, as well as an efficient production and construction system. The war potential of Randal is extremely amazing, and the mercenaries should play more roles, including participating in high-intensity battles. In short, Victor has to blaze a path different from the dual-army system.

Compared with the physically strong aliens, the biggest advantage of the ordinary person is the ability to build fortifications and the use of sophisticated weapons and equipment. The basic strategy of the dual-army system is to fight while building fortifications, first stand firm, and then slowly eat away, and Victor's mercenaries want to further expand this advantage. In his vision, mercenaries can build offensive and defensive associations, and possess the capabilities of mobile warfare and positional warfare. They will fight against weak enemies and defend themselves when they encounter strong enemies. To achieve this, in addition to the personal qualities of the soldiers, military equipment is also extremely important. For example, military carriages that can carry materials and quickly form a solid array, small-scale ballistas that can be assembled, various types of crossbows, and so on.

With these equipment, Legion hired by a thousand people can move to favorable terrain, rely on the car array, dig trenches, set up horses, cut timber, erect arrow towers, and build strong camps. Under the guidance of the Golden Crow, the elite commandos first eliminated the opponent’s logistics personnel. When they encountered a powerful enemy, they withdrew to the camp, repelled the invading enemy with the help of dense crossbows, continued to weaken the enemy’s strength, and finally destroyed it. Completely defeated.

The success of this tactic and how to improve the details can be discovered one by one through the actual combat of the bear group and solved one by one, but the preparations that the bear group should make before departure still need to be done.

Workers must first sharpen their tools if they want to do well.

It just happened that the craftsmen and scholars of the York family gathered in Flatlake Town. With their help, Victor took the lead in solving the design problems of military carriage and small ballista. Alchemy auxiliary soldiers have mastered the special equipment. The production method, as long as the corresponding materials are collected, the alchemy assistants of the bear group can copy the carriage and the ballista. Then, Victor took out the keel steel that Viscount Negus gave him and asked Master Edwin to help design a new military crossbow, and put forward two requirements: First, it can shoot through ordinary ogre within 80 meters. Second, the new military crossbow does not need a winch to wind, and the parts are detachable and replaceable.

The craftsmen of the York family made two samples of foot crossbows in only two days, and their performance and structure fully met the requirements. Victor is very satisfied with the foot crossbow, but Master Edwin said that this crossbow has been eliminated by the military heavy crossbow.

The secret of the powerful military heavy crossbow formidable power lies in its material. The alloy bow arm forged with keel steel and Hundred Refinements steel can withstand 1200 pounds of tension. The crossbow string made of ferocious animal tendons does not. It will break, and soldiers must use a winch to wind up.

The effective range of the keel steel heavy crossbow is 350 meters (flat shot), and it can penetrate iron essence armor within 150 meters. It is currently the strongest individual long-range weapon. It is like a small ballista, theoretically capable of shooting ogre. Of course, in practical applications, monsters with extremely tenacious vitality are almost never directly killed by military heavy crossbows. Even if they are seriously injured, they can often fight for a while.

An adult ogre can cross a distance of 150 meters in about 10 seconds, while it usually takes 40 seconds to rewind a military heavy crossbow. Therefore, mercenaries need to be equipped with a military crossbow with stronger firepower and faster firing speed, which changes from quantity to qualitative change. If a few arrows can not kill a large monster, then shoot a few more arrows and shoot them all into hedgehogs.

The foot crossbow has a pulling force of 700 pounds. A strong soldier slams on one foot and winds with both hands. It only takes 5 seconds to fire. Its formidable power is not comparable to a winch heavy crossbow, but within 100 meters. It is also enough to penetrate the armor. In order to achieve the effect of rapid shooting, the craftsman had to greatly increase the proportion of keel steel in the alloy, thereby reducing the tension of the crossbow arm, and using spider silk as the string.

Spider silk is very valuable, and keel steel is a scarce resource and cannot be bought with money.

Since it cannot be popularized, why lower the formidable power of crossbows?

Edwin didn't understand Victor's thoughts because he didn't know that Victor had Thorium. Not to mention the foot crossbow, even the 1200-pound winch crossbow Victor can be popular. The elastic purple clothes and hibiscus can be used as bow arms, and sisal string or ordinary beef tendon can be used as crossbow strings. In front of Thorium, the keel steel of the Dodo Kingdom is not enough to look at.

Victor just wanted a standardized design for the foot crossbow. Although it is not time to expose Thorium's equipment, it is always good to prepare some blueprint weapons in advance. Who will let Randal have no research and development capabilities?

Victor shook his head and sighed: "Knight is usually either busy giving birth to children or training soldiers and polishing the Battle Qi. I don’t have to ask anything... Sylvia created a dual-army system, and I have to do specific things... …"

Edwin stayed for a long time, and said viciously: "Boy, you are digressing!" Then, he couldn't help saying with a smile: "This is all right! Family affairs It all depends on our scholars. You see your lips move. I am designing a carriage for you, improving the ballista, and taking out the outdated foot crossbow... Can you less toss my old fogey? "

"In the future war, logistics is king!" Victor continued: "3000 elite, 10,000 auxiliary soldiers, it is very difficult to guarantee the food, clothing, shelter and transportation of so many people, let alone combat? The production of various materials, Transportation and deployment will become very complicated. Any problem in any link may cause the breakdown of auxiliary soldiers. They do not have a firm will. Therefore, this is a huge test of the family's logistics capabilities."

"Lucky The thing is, we can make various attempts and deductions before the war starts. It doesn’t matter if we fail countless times, as long as we can find the optimal logistics plan. For example, this military crossbow..." Victor raised the crossbow in his hand and said "It may be outdated, but it is not worthless. The winch heavy crossbow formidable power is huge and complicated in structure. Once damaged, it is difficult to repair. The new crossbow has a simple structure and the parts can be exchanged, even in battle. Make sure that the battle strength of the army is not damaged. Now, as long as we improve its material, we can get a formidable power that surpasses the crossbow, and the rate of fire exceeds the winch crossbow, a new weapon that can be used by all refugees."

"It is not an obsolete foot crossbow. It was born for the future war. It should be called a standard crossbow."

Master Edwin muttered for a long time, muttered: "This is what you keep talking about Standardization?"

Victor nodded and said: "Standardization is the most important principle of future logistics. It can not only improve production efficiency, reduce production costs and transportation costs, but also increase the battle strength of the auxiliary army. Elite soldiers have learned martial arts since childhood. They have superb skills and can skillfully use all kinds of weapons, but the refugees are not good at supporting soldiers. Their training time is too short. Longer or shorter lance can affect their performance. They change a bow. The crossbow may not even have a quasi-head. Therefore, standardized weapons are very important to the refugees, and Legion and Legion can complement each other with standardized armaments."

Maste r Edwin watched Victor for a long time before sighing, "Victor, if I don't know you, I must think you are a student taught by the Master secretly. "

Victor moved in his heart and said modestly: "Master, I'm not even far behind." In fact, I have always admired the Silver Tower and I really want to study at the Tower. "

Edwin smiled a flower on his old face, then shook his head regretfully and said: "It's a pity that the lord can't leave the territory for a long time. I'm afraid you have no chance to go to the White Tower to study." "

"Knowledge is wealth, power, and the jewel in the crown. The White Tower is a place where wealth, power and gems are stored. The motto of the court minister, Marquis Bastern, has always inspired the children of the court nobles, including me. "Victor solemnly saluted: "Master Edwin, as the lord of the Randal Family, I cannot go to Baita to study. I still ask you to write a letter of recommendation for the Randal Family. I will send family members to Baita to study history. , Pharmacy and Forging. "

"Of course you can! "Edwin nodded said: "However, Baita's tuition is not cheap. Each subject has to be handed to Baita 2000 Kinsoul every year, and the tuition fee is extra. Different scholars have nothing common with each other, but the average annual tuition of the three subjects is 10000 Kinsall. I want to learn High level potion formulas such as energy potions take at least seven years. "

"This...this is too expensive! "

Master Edwin said solemnly: "Child, knowledge is wealth that can be inherited, so the silver tower is both high and noble. "
