Chapter 487: Wealth and Wealth (I)
Chief of Staff Brann said with a smile: "General Pedro is really joking, the broken blood cavalry is famous all over the world, although the hundred guards I brought have a bit of strength, but they will never dare to compete with the general's iron cavalry, they are just here to demonstrate the gifts we brought this time." ”
"You know me?" General Pedro's focus was somewhat different.
"Naturally recognized. Brann complimented him from the bottom of his heart, "Who doesn't know that there are three generals in the Broken Blood Castle, among which the veteran Pedro is loyal and righteous, famous all over the world, and is a model for all generals, and I heard about the story of generals when I was a child." ”
Haha, I like that adjective. General Pedro's thick black silkworm eyebrows fluttered like a dance, "I didn't expect my name to spread so far and wide, and everyone in the Andes Mountains could hear about it." ”
The most proud thing in this veteran's life is not his brilliant achievements on the battlefield, but his unwavering allegiance to the Broken Blood Fortress and the Strachage family.
"Okay, there are more than a hundred people, don't find the north because of a compliment from others. Archduke Cedric interrupted General Pedro's self-congratulation, "Since you're here, let's take a look, Arnold's bastard has been found, and he is in the Eternal Night Army, but he is now being detained for stealing military secrets, and the young lord wants to use him to train his elite, and it is said that he has taken out three treasures, you can help see if these three treasures are qualified to exchange for our training method of breaking blood riding." ”
"Your lord is so ambitious, you can't even want to create a broken blood horse? haha...... I want to see what the three treasures in your mouth look like, and give you the confidence to exchange them for the training method of the Broken Blood Ride. Speaking of business, General Pedro's formlessness just now disappeared, and the essence in his eyes was even brighter.
Compared with Archduke Cedric, the old general has a deeper affection for the Broken Blood Horse, especially in the training of the Broken Blood Horse, and he invests more energy than everyone else.
To put it bluntly, half of the credit for the current training mode of the Broken Blood Horse is his, and General Arnold just eats ready-made.
If you want to trade the training method of the Broken Blood Horse, Archduke Cedric will have to consult him sooner or later.
"Why don't you wait for the two generals to see it. Brann was still smiling, and it was clear that he was just as confident in what he had brought, hoping that when they saw it, he wouldn't shock his jaw off.
"Come with me. "General Pedro turned his horse's head, the training ground is his home turf, and he knows it better.
Soon they found a training ground with open terrain and good sightlines.
Before they could start, General Esmond, another powerful figure in the Broken Blood Fortress, arrived uninvited.
It may be that the age disparity is too great, General Esmond is old enough and old enough, plus the Strachage family has a unique ruling model, and the position of the Grand Duke represents not only power, but also a heavy responsibility like a mountain, so the relationship between their brothers is not as tense as that of other family heirs, and they are amiable on the surface, but they hate to trample each other to death behind their backs.
Compared with several other serious brothers, General Esmond, whose personality is a bit similar to that of Archduke Cedric, is the most compatible with General Arnold, who is not in tune with his daily life.
General Arnold was able to sneak away from the Broken Blood Fortress, which had more or less the credit of General Esmond, if it wasn't for his blind eye, General Arnold didn't run long before he was personally captured by Archduke Cedric.
I heard that there was an update on General Arnold, and of course I had to pay some attention to it.
When General Esmond arrived, it was a little late, and the hundred guards brought by Brann were ready to show the first treasure, and he could only keep this concern in his heart and watch patiently.
"The spear that Arnold used?"
Archduke Cedric, General Pedro, and General Esmond looked at each other.
Arnold's elven blood thorn was all too familiar to them, after all, they had considered imitating it as a cavalry weapon for the Broken Blood Horse.
After all, the severed head sword is too steel-consuming, and they mainly rely on the donations and support of other Grand Duke families, if they can replace it with cheaper items, even if it reduces the combat effectiveness of the Severed Blood Rider to a certain extent, they are willing.
After all, the steel saved will allow them to equip more soldiers.
It's a pity that the Elven Blood Thorn belongs to the era of the Elven Empire has too much black technology, and their imitation effect is too poor, not even one-tenth of its power.
They can't risk the lives of those elite soldiers, they can only give up for the time being.
Unexpectedly, the first treasure that the Eternal Night Army Leader took out was an imitation of the Elven Blood Thorn.
The reason why it is said to be an imitation of the elven blood thorn is not only the same shape, but also the pattern engraved on it is also very similar.
There are also differences.
That is, these imitation spears are longer and thicker than the elven blood thorns, which are more suitable for riding and combat.
The whole body is a simple brass color, in addition to the pattern, there are translucent silk threads wrapped on it.
The presence was full of veterans who had been in battle for a long time, and they could see the advantage of doing so at a glance, that is, non-slip.
When they arrived on the battlefield, even if their hands were stained with blood and sweat, it did not prevent the soldiers from holding the spear firmly in their hands, and experienced knights would even tie it to their wrists with strips of cloth.
The makers of this piece had apparently thought of it, and the soldiers removed the brass-colored spear from the hook on the side of their mounts, unpacked it in layers, and hung the silk thread on the tail to the hook under the brass of their right arm, so that even if the spear was accidentally taken off, it could be retrieved without affecting dexterity like a strip of cloth wrapped around a hand.
I just don't know that these imitations have the original characteristics of elf blood thorns.
They knew very well that the real power of the Elven Blood Thorn was not its hardness, but its toughness, which was the foundation of the force, and if it was only as hard as the iron spear, it would be greatly reduced.
"Dismount! line up!" Brann shouted.
This hundred-man guard did not sprint on a war horse on the spot, but held a brass camphor spear, lined up in a phalanx, and walked to the open space in front of everyone with uniform steps.
"Scatter!"
Another order, the dense formation dispersed with a bang, the distance between the front and back and the left and right was equal, not much in one step, no less in one step, with their similar heights, and the simple and luxurious uniform dress of the Eternal Night Army Leader, there was indeed a different kind of spirit.
Even General Pedro, who was extremely picky about the training of the army, couldn't help but nod his head again and again, the leader of the Eternal Night Army already had a pretty good time in terms of army columns, even if he let the broken blood he trained single-handedly ride out of the horse, he would do it to this extent.
"Up!"
Bryan gave the last order.
"Drink!"
Hundreds of soldiers shouted in unison, stomped their feet, opened their stance, and danced with the same movement and the same frequency.
The sound of guns and heavy guns breaking through the air appeared at the same time.
"Holy"
“Y&**(”
"Ahh
The three well-informed and battle-experienced commander-in-chief generals couldn't help but burst into foul language at the same time.
The reason why they are so shocked, so gaffe.
Not only because they knew how difficult it was to use the unique weapon of the Elven Blood Thorn, but how time-consuming it was to cultivate.
And because they recognized Arnold's marksmanship, they recognized the first movement of the hundred soldiers in a position.
First of all, it was an imitation of Arnold's unique weapon, and now even Arnold's marksmanship, they have also gotten their hands on it, looking at the appearance of these soldiers' drills, it is obviously quite hot, even those weapons that are easy to get their hands on, without a year and a half of training, they can't reach their level, let alone this kind of weapon that is more difficult to use.
But the question is, how many days has General Arnold been away from home?
It only adds up to a year, and half a year ago, after being reminded by Archduke Cedric, Sean, the lord of the Eternal Night Lord, knew that Arnold might be lurking in their lordship.
In other words, General Arnold will not fall into the hands of the Eternal Night Army for more than half a year, or even less.
With their industrial manufacturing capabilities, it is understandable that they imitated the elven blood thorn, but it is a bit incompetent to understand that they also stole General Arnold's spear skills.
However, with this, they have no objection to whether the Eternal Night Leader has actually captured General Arnold.
What really shocked them was yet to come.
Because they soon realized that hundreds of people can do the same pace and movements without any difference, which shows that the other party is not a random and impromptu dance, and there are traces and laws to follow.
Sure enough, the opponent's entire spearmanship was quickly rotated.
"It's not just General Arnold's marksmanship. General Pedro suddenly spoke, "There are indeed many traces of General Arnold's marksmanship inside, but there are obvious differences in many places, which makes it more powerful and lethal." ”
"You mean improvement?" asked Archduke Cedric, with some sideways eyes.
"That's right, it's improvement. General Pedro nodded, "But what they cast is not a complete version, it should be limited by their own strength." ”
"The general is really extraordinary, and he can see the doorway inside at a glance. Brann said with heartfelt appreciation.
"Okay, don't sell it, what's going on, let's talk about it. Archduke Cedric asked directly.
The gazes of General Pedro and General Esmond also fell on Branne.
Seeing that the purpose of the shock had been achieved, Bryan stopped being mysterious, and replied bluntly: "This set of spear skills is called Arnold's spearmanship, which is based on the help of our lord, General Arnold combined with what he has learned, and is divided into a basic version, an enhanced version, an advanced version and an ultimate version, corresponding to the four levels of knights, knights, grand knights and champion knights. ”
As he spoke, Brann had already asked for a brass camphor spear, jumped into the arena and danced,
The same set of marksmanship, in his hands, because of the addition of a few new moves, it feels a little different.
Hearing Brann say this, their eyes began to light up, and they obviously realized the benefits of doing so, which undoubtedly made this weapon much less difficult to get started.
"How long have these soldiers been learning this marksmanship?" General Pedro asked the question of his greatest concern.
"It's been two months since they were full, so they're still at the level of showmanship, and they are simply dancing beautifully, but if they are put into actual combat, I'm afraid that the power is not as great as it seems. "Brann makes no secret of the shortcomings of these soldiers.
In order to achieve the effect of shocking Archduke Cedric, Bryant trained them day and night on the way here, not only pursuing personal training in Arnold's marksmanship, but also achieving the overall pace, which took them a lot of time, and did not engage in actual combat training at all.
Fortunately, this hundred guards are carefully selected, each of them has the strength of knights, has a strong foundation, and the speed of getting started is much faster than ordinary people, and it can also withstand drills, and the final effect is remarkable, without losing the face of the eternal night army leader.
"Two months to reach this level?" Archduke Cedric, General Pedro, and General Esmond looked at each other again, unable to believe their ears.
The other party's skillful energy, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like just studying for two months.
However, there is no need for the other party to lie at all, calculating the time of General Arnold's whereabouts, this can also be the right number, and there is no way to lie.
"It doesn't matter if you don't have actual combat training, we can do it on the spot. General Pedro was an impatient man, and he didn't give Brann a chance to refuse, and ran away in a hurry.
It didn't take long for him to return, followed by a team of hundreds.
The red cloak, blood-colored armor, and the ghost-headed severed sword are the broken blood horses.
This Broken Blood Cavalry Hundred Team has obviously been screened, and the big knights have been eliminated, otherwise there is no need to compete at all.
With only ten and eight great knights, the hundred-man guard led by the Eternal Night Army was crushed.
Seeing this, Bryan wanted to scold his mother.
They are just here to offer treasures, although these soldiers also have knight-level strength, but they are all temporarily drawn, and they have been gathered together for no more than three months, and the broken blood horse that has been trained together all year round is not a concept at all.
If you are not careful, you will be easily embarrassed.
But General Pedro didn't give Brann a chance to choose at all, and ordered the hundred-man team to put themselves in a position and said: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, let me test the true power of this kind of spearmanship in actual combat, right? ”
Archduke Cedric did not speak, apparently acquiescing in the matter.
"The broken blood ride is famous all over the world, our side is not only a beginner, but also a temporary patchwork, if it really fights, we can't guarantee that we will use unconventional means, and when the time comes, please forgive Your Majesty and the general. Brann said the ugly words in advance, and secretly said in his heart, it's not that I want to slap you in the face, it's you who forced us.
If it is a regular battle, the Eternal Night Army will lead the 100 guards against the Broken Blood Cavalry 100 team, and the victory rate will definitely be very small.
But this hundred guards are equipped with enchanted armor, so it's hard to say.
"Naturally, once you go to the battlefield, all kinds of possibilities will happen, and what kind of means are within the normal range. General Pedro didn't take Brann's hints to heart at all.
"Don't use weapons related to black powder, after all, it's just a simple test of the power of this kind of gunnery, friendship and exchange, don't cause too many casualties. "Archduke Cedric's use of the black powder weapons of the Eternal Night Army is somewhat confident, and he is afraid that Brann will say that this unconventional means refers to these black powder weapons.
"This is natural. Brann nodded, although he didn't want to lose face in front of the other party, but he couldn't go too far, after all, the two sides were still allies, and finally asked, "Foot battle or horse battle?"
"Of course, it's horse warfare, this kind of spear and spear skill, at first glance, it is prepared for cavalry warfare. "General Pedro obviously doesn't have that many scruples.
"No, there are too many variables in horse warfare, and it is easy to produce too many casualties, so let's fight on foot! "Archduke Cedric didn't let General Pedro come this time.
