Act 229 Wind Shooter (Middle)
Changing the cavalry armor into a shooting armor is not difficult for the blacksmith master who has been dealing with furnace iron felt for decades. Archers require flexibility in the waist, abdomen, upper arms and back when shooting, otherwise it will affect the ability to draw the bow. To ensure accuracy, Belu removed part of the deck and replaced it with movable armor pieces, and produced a sample the next day. ∏∈Ｅ∏∈Novel∏∈.net, www.exiaoｗｈｏｏ.ＣｏＭ
Quinir put on the armor, stretched his upper limbs, and showed a satisfied look. The body of the tree elves is slender and strong, but the armor made by Bolu fits well. It's just that the armor originally worn on human cavalry seems to be a little smaller on them, a bit like Roman half-body armor.
"A bit heavier," he said.
"There is no way to reduce the weight." Master Belu said.
The set is the heavy armor of the cavalry. No matter how it is modified, the weight of the armor will always fall on the shoulders.
But if the shooter's shoulders bear too much weight, it will greatly affect the hit rate. The forging master looked back at his lord, wanting to see what Brando said.
Brando put his middle finger and thumb on his chin and looked at the handicraft-like cavalry armor with satisfaction. After the old man greatly changed the decks on the shoulder blades and waist and abdomen into armor leaves, the metal sheets followed Quinier's movements layer by layer. Floating and looking sparkling under the light.
"Just get a weight loss prefix. Master Beilu, can you make a few more samples?" He turned his head and asked.
Prefix is actually a kind of enchantment, and there are several prefixes for weight reduction. Among them, the "Wind Dance" of Freya's wind rear half armor is the best one. Not only will you not feel the restraint of the weight when wearing it, but you will feel as if you are surrounded by the breeze, gaining agility bonus.
"That's not a problem. Why do you need so many samples?"
"Uh... you'll know soon." In fact, Beru may prefer that he never knows, "because he saw Brando taking the armor from Quinier." This masterpiece, which can be called a handicraft, is very It soon burned on his hand, and everyone saw the strong magical reaction forming bright beams of electric fire that radiated around, and finally crackled, melting through the chest plate to form a huge hole.
It looks like the scene after a candle melts. The metal turns into liquid and sinks inward, becomes fluid and then solidifies again, leaving a hole the size of a fist. ￠￡e￠￡Novel￠￡.com, www. Exi aoSHUO.COM￠
Brando immediately shrugged. No matter how you looked at it, the armor in his hand was considered useless.
Alchemy is a highly random job, especially if Brando wants to find an effective wind magic circle.
Simply fill it in with the finished product.
In the next few days, the green flames in the furnace almost never went out, and the tinkling sound of hammering in the blacksmith shop continued all night long. One set after another of modified armors turned into waste in Brando's hands.
He began to use cheap wind sapphire as the magic core of the wind magic circle. This kind of gem is the most common main material containing wind element magic in Warnd, and it is also the cheapest one. It is said to be a gem, but Actually cheaper than most magic crystals.
Even during the most intense period of inflation in the game in the past, this gem only sold for a few thousand tols.
However, the results of the experiment were not ideal. The best result achieved by the Wind Sapphire was "clumsy," the prefix, weight loss that had never been achieved, and various negative attributes.
Then Brando successively tried lapis lazuli, green olive, and blue prism. Each of the main materials was more expensive and more advanced than the last. The weight loss effect also increased from 10% to 15%. By the morning of the fifth day, top Brando and Belu, with dark circles under their eyes, finally came up with the prefix "lightweight."
1 Lightweight Archer Armor: Defense A, extra +2 defense against arrows, weight reduction 2o%. , but unfortunately this suit of armor is still much heavier than planned." Quinir also said that only the most elite marksmen among the tree elves can fight wearing it without any obstacles, but most people cannot actually reach this level.
At this time, the scrap rate of the armor-modified marksman armor captured by the Red Flag Cavalry has basically reached more than 10%.
Such a result is of course not in line with Brando's requirements. His goal is to at least upgrade the tree elf shooter to the strength of a third-level soldier. The strength of the arms basically only depends on a few statistics, attack, defense, mobility and special abilities. As for improving attack power, unless Brando thinks he can get the tree elf longbow, it is the tree elf's authentic third-level unit forest shooter. standard equipment, but that was produced almost fifty years later. Besides, he knew nothing about bow making.
It's better to just think of ways to improve defense. ⊥E Novels, www.e
But now it seems that it is not realistic to equip a new standard armor, at least there is still a bottleneck in terms of weight. If this problem is not solved, it will be a fantasy to let tree elf shooters wear these magic armors.
The solution is to further upgrade the prefix of 1 lightness to "lightness" so that the weight loss is enough to meet his requirements. However, the armor improvement work has been carried out so far, and the cost of modification alone has exceeded 30,000 Thor. If it continues to increase endlessly, Brando estimates that Antitina will come to him to submit a letter of resignation.
"There is no way." Master Beilu lay on his workbench, his head as messy as a bird's nest, and said feebly: "This is the limit. If you want to lose weight without further investment, it will affect Defensive."
"Let the elite equipment of the tree elves be put on first." Tamar also suggested. He was invited by Brando to join the plan halfway. The future master of alchemy has recently been helping Charles and Antitina design and build the long-planned mage tower. The noble lady's magic laboratory is also part of this plan.
Magic is an important productive force in Warnd's world, and the importance of the mage tower to the territory is self-evident. What's more, a public mana pool can be gathered in the mage tower, which can not only greatly enhance the strength of his spellcasters, but also increase the training of mage apprentices. Even the lowest level alchemy laboratory can provide the alchemist working in it with a bonus equivalent to an additional alchemy level. The high-level alchemy laboratory is almost equivalent to directly providing a varying number of professional alchemists to the lord.
As long as there is a little money, there is no lord who is not willing to build a mage tower on his territory. What's more, a good mage tower can attract more mages to become his subordinates and staff, so why not?
Therefore, Brando originally did not want to delay Tamar's progress, but as his side absorbed funds like a black hole, Antitina had no choice but to ask Tamar to come here first to help, otherwise she was worried that Brando would We will not use the territory's money to build an army of any level.
From her point of view, her lord seemed to be such a "soldier" who never felt safe and always put the development of military power first.
But Brando still shook his head at Tamar's proposal. He wanted more than just a small elite force. In fact, he does not lack such elites. He has the planeswalker system and the lair system. If he can, he can form an elite army by himself.
What he needs is a main force.
There are a large number of main forces such as centaurs, cavemen and tree elves, and this main force must stand firm in the next war.
He thought for a while and replied: "You continue to experiment to see if you can use the same materials to get a better enchanting effect. I will find a way from other aspects."
Brando's method is simple.
That is the dragon blood potion.
As Quinir said, the tree elf archers are not completely unusable for their final product, but their combat effectiveness will be more or less limited. To put it bluntly, it is still due to weight, but for armor, in addition to reducing weight, think about it the other way around, why not increase the weight-bearing capacity of the tree elf?
When it comes to increasing strength, Brando has no second thought except dragon blood potion.
However, the first batch of the dragon blood potion was all given to the future non-commissioned officers of the White Lion Legion, and the second batch was refined and given to the mercenaries, centaurs and tree elves who accompanied him on this expedition in order to cope with this war. shooter. There are very few tree elf archers in this group, only one or two hundred."
The tree elves in the forest can at least organize an army of over a thousand.
In the same way, Brando wants to build not only the third-level troops of the tree elves, but also the centaurs. In this way, the dragon blood potion he needs to use may exceed thousands of bottles, which is not a small number." From then on The blood from the hydra is definitely not enough, Brando needs to find more raw materials.
The acquisition was too late at the moment, and Brando didn't want this matter to drag on Ampere Seer's trip. He quickly thought of a way, which was to breed a hydra himself.
When it comes to cultivating a hydra yourself, it is natural to use the nest. But ordinary territories generally do not have enough space to accommodate nests. For example, the fir territory feels that there is no natural place for magic to gather. Brando naturally places his abacus on Valhalla.
To put it bluntly, since he left the Black Forest, it seemed that it was time to rebuild this fortress that once held countless glories.
Brando simply left the affairs of the blacksmith workshop to Belu and Tamar, and buried himself alone in studying the core magic circle of Valhalla. The core magic circle of Valhalla was actually not complicated. It just requires a surprising amount of magic crystals.
If this request had been made in the past, Brando would have gone crazy, but at this time, the first group of people who went to the Black Forest had returned. The immigrants established a small mine in the forest under the protection of the mercenaries. Although the amount of magic crystals mined was not much, it was enough to meet Brando's initial needs. However, although Brando devoted himself to setting up the magic circle, he was not so overwhelmed that he completely ignored the news from the outside world. He knew very well that at this time in history, Princess Griffin should have been preparing to go to Ampelsel to start negotiations with Anlek.
Since the Spring Dawn Moon of the Year of the Sword, Her Royal Highness the Princess has actually reached a certain level of agreement with Grand Duke Anlek.
He was actually a little hesitant about whether to let Her Royal Highness the Princess and Anlek contact first. After all, with Anlek from the north standing in the way, Tonigel would not fall into the biggest whirlpool of the crown prince dispute immediately. But Brando quickly made a decision. As a princess, he would never allow history to repeat itself.
Now that I have made up my mind, I want to put on a good show when the princess goes to Ampelsel, and this time the stage is naturally the largest trading port in Eruin. The time has been set, and everything he is doing now is actually preparing for the next trip.
Brando did not put down the work at hand, but at the same time, he sent Charles and his men out to look for the planeswalker's card. He knew very well that he would not be able to bring a large army to Amperesel.
Not even the Black Wolf can follow him. What is truly reliable is the planeswalker system and his own strength.
But after the battle in the Black Forest, the planeswalker system is now basically in a semi-disabled state. If he wants to revive this system, Brando knows that what he needs first is a new method of fishing for graves.
He arranged all this in a planned and small way. Starting from the end of the Winter Qin month, the upgrading of the army, the reconstruction of Valhalla and the search for planeswalker cards were all carried out in an orderly manner. To outsiders, Tonigel It seemed unusually quiet, but slow and surprising changes were taking place inside.
Such silence lasted until the first week of the Spring Dawn Moon, when a piece of news was delivered to Brando's desk.
