Looking at the city wall that is taller than Feng'an City, this is the first time Yue Qianming has come to the imperial capital of Xia Geng's country, and Qingling City, which only appeared on the previous information, is now in front of Yue Qianming. At this time, the Xia Geng clan sent to greet Yue Qianming and others was Cui Yan, who had accompanied Li Yuanji on the Jinhai clan to envoy the country, and the attack on the mission had been reported back to Qingling City, which caused a lot of shock, and the Xia Geng clan had already begun to investigate the matter.

Yue Qianming sat on top of the electric ox and looked condescendingly at Cui Yan who was looking up at him, this person's eyes were calm, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and there was no sign of anger because of Yue Qianming's rude behavior at this time. However, Yue Qianming was angry at this time, and looked coldly at the officials of Xia Geng's country, and the atmosphere in the audience was slightly tense.

I saw Yue Qianming wave his hand, and then the members of the Que Feng team lifted out more than 100 bodies and displayed them in front of Cui Yan one by one, Yue Qianming asked with a cold voice: "I don't know, Cui Shilang can recognize these people." ”

Qianmingshen said this joke a bit too much, how could Cui know these people. ”

Yue Qianming lifted the face armor of the leader who was killed by Zhao Meng, and asked with a smile, "Then does Cui Shilang know this person?"

Cui Yan's pupils contracted a few times, and then he regained his composure, and said unhurriedly: "Cui really doesn't know, and I ask Qianming God to inform one or two." ”

Yue Qianming suddenly pulled out the long sword in his hand, cut through the clothes of the corpse on the ground, pointed to a white wolf head tattoo on the corpse's chest, and asked with a cold look in his eyes: "If I'm not mistaken, this kind of tattoo can only be found on the cavalry guards of your Xia Geng's country's Red Flame Wolf Ride, right?"

The members of the Que Feng team also ripped off the clothes of the rest of the corpses, and the wolf heads on the chests of the ordinary soldiers were all black. Yue Qianming looked at Cui Yan and waited for him to continue to quibble. Sure enough, I only heard Cui Yan say: "Qianming Shenjun, although this style of tattoo is indeed unique to my Red Flame Wolf Ride, it doesn't mean that these people are the people of the Red Flame Wolf Ride, maybe someone is impersonating?"

"With the prestige of the Red Flame Wolf riding in the Xia Geng Clan's country, who dares to rush? Cui Shilang, are you going to resist and deny it?"

"General Qianming, my country has already started an investigation, and there is no result yet. I saw that Cui Yan's eyes suddenly became a little colder, and he continued: "Since the Qianming God will bring the corpse, it is also necessary for our colleagues in the Criminal Department to run again." ”

"Oh, what does Cui Shilang mean by that?"

"I want the Qianming God to hand over these corpses to us, and after the identity is verified, I will naturally give you an explanation to the Qianming God. ”

Yue Qianming turned around and looked at Chun Yuhou and the others behind him, these civil officials all had hurt on their faces, pretending to be angry, staring at the officials sent by the Xia Geng clan.

"Are you planning to destroy the corpses?"

"General Qianming, please be cautious, we will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation. ”

"Satisfactory explanation, everyone in my mission is injured now, if you attend the wedding celebration of King Yuanyou like this, I think your Xia Geng's face will be dull!"

"Then I don't know what the Qianming God wants?"

"The corpse, we will keep it for you first, and as for your criminal department who wants to inspect the corpse, you can come to my embassy station. As for what I want to do, it depends on the sincerity of your Xia Geng clan, and you can discuss the rest with Chun Yu's deputy envoy. ”

"I will only give you an answer after I have gone back and asked your lord about this matter. ”

"Yes, as long as you are not in a hurry, we have time to wait. This time the mission was attacked, I think Cui Shilang should also know in his heart, but it can be big or small, as for the size, it is in the hands of your Xia Geng clan. ”

“...... First of all, please ask General Qianming and others to rest in the embassy of our Ministry of Rites, and I believe that there will be a decision soon. ”

"Then lead the way! A certain family is indeed a little tired, the road of your Xia Geng clan is really not easy to walk!"

"Come on, take the Qianming God and others to the embassy to rest. ”

......

Jiang Chen knew that after the beginning of spring next year, the Eagle Guard would fight with people with real knives and guns, and the research and development of the Eagle Guard's long-range attack weapons was officially put on the agenda. Mobilize all the Eagle Guards to participate and brainstorm together.

He and the two members of the team who studied and made suggestions on armaments have been immersed in the armament department for the past few days, asking for experience from those craftsmen in the armament department. One of these two people is Zhang Qianling, and there is a teenager named Bian Hong, the elders of this young man's family have people who serve in the Imperial Capital Ordnance Department, and they have been familiar with the production of armaments and weapons since childhood.

When Jiang Chen proposed to improve the range of the bow and arrow, he immediately made a suggestion to Jiang Chen. According to Bian Hong's suggestion, a simple wind array was carved on top of the arrow, which was activated by aura, so that the range of the bow and arrow could be increased. After testing, although the range was indeed increased, its accuracy was greatly reduced, and the arrows fired were blown far away from the target by the light wind driven by the gust of wind depicted on the shaft.

Although this experiment ended in failure, Jiang Chen and Bian Hong did not give up and began to study according to this idea. And Zhang Qianling was very interested in those simple formations that were carved on ordinary armaments, and he himself had learned some simple formation carving skills, helping Jiang Chen and the others to carve some simple formations on the arrows.

On this day, when Jiang Chen was asking Lao Zhu, the master of the armed forces, about the quality of the bow and arrow, he suddenly heard a cheer coming from the armament and weapons test base next to him, and the sound was like Bian Hong and Zhang Qianling, Jiang Chen heard this cheer and guessed whether they had made a major breakthrough, and then said goodbye to Lao Zhu, and quickly ran out of the camp to find Zhang Qianling and the two, and Lao Zhu didn't think that these teenagers could come up with anything new, so he didn't go out with Jiang Chen to check, and continued to be busy with the work in his hands.

When he came to the test base, he first saw Zhang Qianling and Bian Hong in a daze around an arrow nailed to a crystal stone on the ground, Jiang Chen didn't know what stupidity these two were making, or what was strange about the arrow inserted in the ground, and then walked towards these two people, and these two people didn't hear Jiang Chen's footsteps approaching at all, and were looking at the arrow on the ground with all their hearts.

Jiang Chen didn't understand what was so special about this arrow, although it penetrated the hardest crystalline stone, there was nothing strange about it, and the specially forged bows and arrows in the armament could achieve such an effect.

In the past few days, they have tried many formations that can help the arrows run, and some of them are too powerful, and after the injection of spiritual energy is shot, it will directly turn into a piece of flying ash. And some of them have no effect at all, which is also the reason why Jiang Chen asked the master craftsman Lao Zhu for some advice on the advantages and disadvantages of making arrows.

Looking at the arrow inserted in the crystal essence stone, Jiang Chen was about to draw it to see what was so special about it, only to hear Zhang Qianling say urgently: "Don't move." ”

"What are you two doing?"

"Ah, it's the captain, when did you come?"

"What are you two staring at this arrow?"

"Captain, we succeeded, we really succeeded. Let Bian Hong give you a demo now. ”

"Team leader, it's better for you to come! I've already tested it just now, and your cultivation is above mine, maybe we can break the range record just now. ”

"Okay, I'll come, Captain, you can take care of it. ”

I saw Zhang Qianling pick up a giant bow, the giant bow is forged from dark iron, and some simple formation patterns have been carved on the back of the bow, this kind of giant bow is specially prepared for spiritual cultivation in the army, and its range is already more than the common bow and crossbow commonly used in the army, but for the young eagle guard flying above 10,000 meters in the air, its range is still far from enough.

Zhang Qianling immediately pulled out the arrow that was inserted, put it on top of the giant bow, injected spiritual energy into the arrow, and shot it towards the sky. Listen carefully to the sound of electricity emitting a faint mosquito sound from the arrow, and turn into an afterimage and fly towards the sky. Jiang Chen tried his best to look at the arrow that shot into the sky, and silently calculated in his heart that the distance that the arrow had shot at this time, and it had reached 10,000 meters, which was already the range that Jiang Chen requires.

After the arrow shot out lost power, it fell from the air again, Jiang Chen and the three of them hurriedly avoided an area, and the arrow was inserted into the crystal stone of the test base again. Jiang Chen was about to pull out the arrow in surprise to take a look, but as soon as he touched the arrow feather, the arrow stuck in the ground turned into flying ashes. Jiang Chen looked at the puddle of ashes on the ground, and wanted to cry without tears, as if he had done something wrong.

And Zhang Qianling and Bian Hong, who were in the distance, hurriedly walked over and looked at the flying ash on the ground with a look at each other. It's okay just now, why is there a problem now. couldn't help but look at Jiang Chen, thinking that he had just used too much force. Jiang Chen looked at the two people with question marks on their faces, hurriedly waved his hand, and then asked, "Qianling, what material is this arrow made of?"

"Ironwood!"

"It seems that it is still a matter of material. By the way, what kind of formation did you just depict this arrow?"

"Thunderstorm. It's just that the thunder array that has been re-changed by the team leader has reduced its ability to gather the power of thunder and lightning, so that in the process of traveling, it can independently absorb the thunder and lightning particles between heaven and earth to provide power for use after the manpower is exhausted. ”

"Isn't that what you can fly all the time?"

"How is it possible, after the aura attached to the arrow is exhausted, it will naturally not be absorbed anymore. Therefore, the range of this arrow depends entirely on personal cultivation. However, with the cultivation of our Eagle Guards, they can reach the range required by the captain. ”

"Then is it possible to carve a simple spirit gathering array on it and fly all the time?" Jiang Chen asked a little unwillingly, and then saw Zhang Qianling deliberately looking at him with contempt and said, "Captain, you are really whimsical, and you really look up to me." It was a combination formation, and even if there were few people among the Divine Formation Masters who could do it and guarantee 100% success. ”

Let's talk about the material now, since this ironwood can withstand it once, let's try the arrows that were made with Mithril and Dark Iron a few days ago. ”

Zhang Qianling then took an arrow made of dark iron and Mithril and began to carve a formation pattern on it. Three quarters of an hour later, Zhang Qianling carved the formation pattern, and then he and Bian Jiang each took arrows and began to experiment.

The Xuantie arrow in Bian Jiang's hand was a little heavy, but after repeating it more than a dozen times, although the speed was still the same, its range was shortened by nearly three thousand meters or so. The arrow, forged with Mithril, had the same effect as when it was first tested with ironwood. After Jiang Chen read the results, he groaned and said, "Yes, it has achieved the effect I expected." You two name this arrow, and this will become a standing weapon for our Eagle Guard. ”

"It's called 'Running Thunder Arrow', after all, it is improved from the Running Thunder Formation. ”

"Running thunder arrows, quite imposing. In this way, we can use the Darkiron Arrow for daily training and medium-range attack armaments, and the Mithril Arrows as long-range attack armaments, what do you two think?"

"Captain, you're really planning to equip us with Mithril Arrows, isn't that a bit too expensive?"

"Compared to those spirit soldiers who need to spend hundreds or thousands of spirit stones at every turn, this is already very cheap. ”

"It takes a hundred taels of Mithril to forge an arrow, and our Eagle Guard has a hundred people in addition to the captain, and those archers must carry at least five hundred arrows each in a regular battle. The captain defined the Eagle Guard as a unit with long-range attacks as the main means, and according to the captain's consistent combat strategy, it must be necessary to run long-distance operations. At least 2,000 arrows per person are required for each battle, and even if there are five or five arrows for each person, this is not a small number. ”

"Let's take the maximum base count, 4,000 per person, which is the limit of the number of arrows each Eagle Guard can carry. According to the five and a half points of the Xuantie Arrow and the Mithril Arrow, the military capital spent on one person is 210,000 taels of Mithril, and the cost of 100 people is 21 million taels of Mithril, plus the loss can reach about 30 million. ”

"yes! Captain, do you think the military department will approve this application for military expenses?"
