Chapter 886: Weapons and Art
reinforcements? Did he understand what he was saying? Tang En twitched the corner of his mouth. Even if reinforcements came, it would be useless if they couldn't make it through! Or is he referring to the main force that can directly crush Hermes and cross over the ruins of the holy city? But in that case, it would be impossible to prepare for the siege within ten days, right?
But seeing the expression on the other party's face who obviously didn't want to continue talking about this topic, Tang En also shut his mouth sensibly. ? happy? arts? s520.
The entrance to the Stairway in the Cloud is on the mountain wall not far from Hanfeng Ridge. It drills through an inconspicuous cave, and the moment it sees the sky again, it is already in midair. When the air is humid, the road will be covered with clouds and mist, and it is like walking through the sky, hence its name.
But as long as the weather is good, this road is still very reliable. In order to dissuade the First Army, he deliberately exaggerated the danger of the Yunzhong Ladder. In fact, some businessmen valued its tax avoidance function, and reinforced the collapsed part with wooden boards and wedges. The risk of passing by is not high. .
In half a day, he walked back and forth three times with the nails and others - walking on the walls of the mountains to avoid the rugged mountain roads and the layers of obstacles in the holy city, and at the same time shorten the distance, so as long as you travel lightly, the efficiency On the contrary, it is higher than the road.
Tang En noticed that Nail had been scribbling in a small notebook, as if he was recording something, but besides the characters commonly used in mainland China, there were also many characters that he had never seen before. This surprised him endlessly. A soldier could read and write without speaking, and possessed knowledge that he couldn't understand at all. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.
You must know that in order to learn to calculate accounts and record the entry and exit of goods, he specially found a chamber of commerce, and only mastered the basic operations of buying and selling at the price of a golden dragon. If Nail could read and write, why bother to do this kind of work? Although Roland Wimbledon's army is extremely powerful, people will always die in wars, and no one can guarantee that they will not be next.
However, he discovered from the conversation between the two that literacy and hand-drawn maps did not seem to be considered "advanced skills", as if everyone in the First Army could do this.
What's going on in these people's heads?
Tang En felt more and more incomprehensible.
Back at the camp, it was almost dusk, but the area around the big tent was very lively. The soldiers gathered in twos and threes, discussing excitedly, but their eyes were all focused on the bonfire in the center of the camp.
"It seems that reinforcements have arrived," Nail grinned.
"I guess so," Uncle Sang said with a smile, "I don't know how many acquaintances will come over this time?"
"Miss Lightning and Miss Maisie must be inside," the squad leader quickened his steps, "Let's go and have a look too."
W-what... Miss?
The reinforcements they were waiting for—women?
Tang En couldn't help but followed the two of them closely, found an open space and looked out into the crowd——the next moment, he suddenly had the feeling of fainting.
Hell, what kind of reinforcements are these! ?
Those are clearly a few brats!
Especially the guy whose hair was almost dragging to the ground, looking at her round cheeks and big watery eyes, he would believe that she was only ten years old!
The other few are not much better, their arms and legs are not as big as a fist, and they might not even be able to hold a sword on the battlefield, so what effect can they play?
It's just ridiculous—huh? He froze for a moment suddenly, feeling uncertain again.
One reason is that the appearance of these girls far exceeds that of ordinary women. One or two didn't think so, but a group of people standing together immediately reminded him of the special group of witches.
Of course, witches are not as scary as in the legends. If they were really as strong as hell devils, they would have crushed the church and the human kingdom long ago. As a well-informed businessman, Tang En knew that as long as he wore the God's Stone of Retaliation, a knight could easily kill several witches - without abilities, they were not much stronger than ordinary people.
But it's hard to say with another person.
Tang En held his breath and focused all his attention on another blue-haired woman.
He had seen each other...at the celebration in Evernight City. Although her appearance is not the most outstanding in the crowd, she is the most attractive one-once you see her once, you will never forget this woman with a peculiar temperament.
Edith Kant, the daughter of the Duke of Evernight, nicknamed the Pearl of the Northland.
She can be as gorgeous as a flower in communication, and can also behead her opponent with a long sword in her hand in battle. It is rumored that her swordsmanship is as outstanding as her facial features, but the most dreadful thing is her way of doing things. Unexpected, eclectic, and hard to guard against... Those who dared to despise her just because she was a woman all paid a heavy price. Residents of Eternal Night City can go on and on about the rumors about the Pearl of the North for days and nights.
It seems that Duke Kant is completely on the side of the new king, otherwise he would never let his beloved daughter run into the barracks alone without the protection of the guards. And judging from the respectful attitude of the deputy battalion commander, even if Edith left the northern border, she was worthy of the name of Pearl.
You know, the army led by the opponent can defeat even the church.
With the witches and Edith Kant, plus a group of killing gods, they might really be able to cause great trouble for Dawn's army.
Apart from "reinforcements", there was another thing that aroused Tang En's curiosity.
I saw a strangely shaped iron bracket placed next to the campfire. Its outline was symmetrical from left to right, and it looked a bit like a pole at first glance. Its two ends are connected with a frame body, and each frame is filled with three rows of metal cylinders with large heads and pointed tails, and it is impossible to tell what material it is made of.
It was obviously just a metal object, but it made him faintly feel uneasy.
After looking at it repeatedly for a while, Tang En noticed where the uneasiness came from.
Those are nine cylinders that are as long as a person, and their shapes are almost exactly the same. From the chubby head to the gathered tail, there is a silky curve!
This detail made his palms sweat. You must know that metal is the toughest, and if you want to fold it into a fixed shape, you must repeatedly burn it and temper it. But according to the blacksmiths he has come into contact with, he is considered one of the best in a hundred to be able to make a piece of iron into a square shape with a smooth surface.
Knock a five-foot piece of iron into an even arc? What kind of superb skill is this?
Then make nine of these things in the same way?
Any craftsman in Eternal Night City would laugh at his ignorance.
If they are all superb works of art, so be it.
However, the gray-black appearance and the general stacking method of sundries show that they are not expensive and lightweight craft products.
Appearing in the barracks, and coming with "reinforcements", it is likely to be a special weapon.
However, it should be a durable weapon, but it showed a beauty that was no less than a work of art. This kind of strong conflict made him feel indescribably shocked.
Tang En swallowed, he realized that he might not be able to be called well-informed anymore.
For this group of people, war may have become something else.
A realm he could not have imagined.
