"City Lord, are these weapons really designed by you? It's so exquisite!" Auf exclaimed as he took the repeater blueprint that Murphy had given him.
"This weapon I named it the repeater, different from the bow and arrow, this kind of repeater does not need to open the bowstring by hand, has a faster rate of fire, and has a longer range, which is suitable for legion combat. I wonder if the elder can make it according to the drawings?" The parts of the repeater are very delicate, and Mo Fei is not sure if the dwarven craftsmen can make it.
"Don't worry, city lord, although we have never made this thing. But with such fine drawings from you, we are confident that we can make a finished product for you in two days. Elder Auf patted his chest and reassured.
"Then it's up to Elder Law, these repeaters are vital to our Ox Warriors, and they are our weapons against mages and ranged attacks. If you go to the battlefield in the future, you can reduce a lot of threats!" Mo Fei is still quite interested in the manufacture of this repeater.
With the support of the imperial military funds, there are the best warriors, and the best craftsmen in the whole continent. In just one week, Misty City was armed with an army of 20,000 men, all of whom were Ox Berserkers.
They wore armor designed by dwarven craftsmen according to their size. The armor enveloped the whole body, and even the link between the neck and the armor was covered with chain mail. Minimizes the possibility of the fighters being attacked.
"City Lord, we have rushed out five thousand sets of repeater crossbows, all of which have been equipped in the army, and we are also stepping up the production of follow-ups. Based on your design, we've made some improvements, and we've equipped each repeater with four magazines, each of which can hold fifty arrows. This avoids the need to reload bolts. Auf introduced.
"Very good! After all, I'm not a professional, and it's up to you to worry about improving equipment design! As for the rest, you don't have to worry. "Mofei is very satisfied with the results of the past few days!
"I'm relieved to have the words of the city lord, we have tested the range of the repeater, it is about two hundred meters, which is twice as far as the average bow and arrow, it is completely enough to deal with an enemy like an archer, but in the face of the long-range attack of the magician, it is still slightly inferior. So, I'd like to make a batch of enhanced versions of the Giant Crossbow specifically designed to deal with ranged classes like the Mage. That's the financial aspect......" Elder Auf said embarrassedly as he looked at Mo Fei.
Mo Fei really wanted to give himself a big mouth. Isn't this nothing to do for himself?, but he also cursed himself in his heart. Really good for the Misty City, good for the army of the proposal, he said without hesitation to support.
In the case of Berserker's armor, a set cost 3,000 gold coins, which is due to the fact that it was made by itself. On this day, if the armor is outside, it will be sold for 5,000 gold coins. Not to mention the weapons, and the repeater. Raising an army is really like burning money.
Mo Fei's original 150 million gold coins were used to buy territories and build cities, plus the expenses of these hundreds of thousands of people, the expenses of the berserker army were already stretched. Although there are 50 million military funds allocated by the empire, it is obviously not enough. It seems that I can only go to my father-in-law to blackmail a little more. Murphy found the bad one.
"Kane, pick a hundred elites and bring me the latest gear. Tomorrow come with me to the imperial capital. Mo Fei ordered.
The next day, Mo Fei led a hundred of the most elite Oxen Berserkers towards the imperial capital. This time, everyone chose to ride the Wind Chaser, and they didn't stop all the way. After a whole day's journey, they arrived at Longyan City the next morning.
When the guards on the city tower saw a group of fierce bull warriors led by Mo Fei approaching the city gate in full armor, and knew these cattle people at a glance, they immediately felt like they were facing a great enemy.
"Who are you, why did you come to Longyan City? We can't let you enter the city gate without explaining your intentions. "A guard captain on the city tower shouted to Mo Fei and the others.
Originally, the imperial capital did not allow berserkers to enter, but seeing this hundred heavily armed berserkers, the attitude of the captain of the guards did not dare to be too tough.
In the end, it was only after Vivien showed the princess's identity token that the city guard let her go.
Mo Fei and his party rode tall mounts and walked on the streets of the imperial capital. Along the way, it attracted the attention of countless people. When had the Imperial Capital seen such a scene? The berserkers of the Ox Clan, all of whom had gone berserk, divided into four columns, followed neatly behind Mo Fei and Vivien, and walked in the direction of the palace.
Mo Fei and their team are huge, which will naturally attract the attention of the patrol team in the city.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a patrol team of more than twenty people to stop Mo Fei and the others.
"Stop, who allowed you to appear in the Imperial Capital City?" said a young man in his twenties from behind the patrol team in front of Mo Fei and the others, with a fierce attitude.
"Victor, don't you know who I am, even I dare to stop me?" Vivien said angrily to the leader of the patrol team, seeing that the way was blocked.
"Your Royal Highness, of course, you don't dare to stand in your way, but the others must be interrogated by us until they are identified!" Victor looked businesslike.
As the son of the Imperial Chancellor, Victor was already the captain of the Imperial Capital Patrol at a young age. Among the young generation in the imperial capital, it can be regarded as young and promising. Like the young talents of the imperial capital, Victor is also full of love for Princess Vivian. But not long ago, I heard that the princess was captured by a boy who came out of nowhere. Much to Victor's annoyance.
Today, hearing that the princess and a young man are leading a team of bull warriors back to the imperial capital, Victor wants to take someone to kill Mo Fei's spirit. He didn't dare to make any waves in the imperial capital!
Mo Fei, who had not spoken on the side, could be seen from Victor's attitude towards Vivian. This Victor was clearly here for himself and the Ox Warriors.
"I wonder how this lord is going to interrogate us?" Mo Fei asked Victor with a sneer.
"These lowly minotaurs naturally obediently rolled out of the imperial capital. As for you, lead a group of heavily armed minotaurs into the imperial capital and disturb the order of the imperial capital. Later, please come with us and be investigated!" "With his own identity and location, Victor is not worried about Mo Fei and their daring to make any drastic moves.
"What did you just say, lowly minotaur?" Mo Fei's face turned cold. Ever since he came into contact with the Ox Clan, Mo Fei has felt their respect and support for him. Mo Fei also regarded the Ox Clan as his family. At the same time, I swore in my heart that I would never let the people of the Oxen Clan be looked down upon by anyone again. Obviously, Victor's words violated Mofei's taboo.
"Kane, cut them all!" Mo Fei said lightly to Kane, who had been patient with him for a long time, because he had not received Mo Fei's order and had been holding back without making a move.
"Do you dare~, do you know who I am?I am ......" Before Victor could finish his words, he was chopped to the ground with an axe from an angry Kane. He never thought that Mo Fei would really dare to do it in the city.
Mo Fei didn't care who he was, or where he was. If you dare to insult your brother, then be prepared to bear your own wrath.
The patrol team brought by Victor saw that Kane and the others really did it, and as soon as they made a move, they cut the captain to the ground. They also drew their weapons one after another, looking at Mo Fei and the others vigilantly.
In the face of these more than 20 patrol team members, Kane and the others did not take them seriously. They only obey Mo Fei's orders, and Mo Fei tells them to cut, and they will not hesitate to carry them out.
Kane led two berserkers and rushed into the middle of the twenty-odd patrol members, who were mostly swordsmen. I saw a violent momentum on the bodies of Kane and the other three berserkers, and the red fighting spirit lingered on the giant axe in his hand. As if a red whirlwind blew, more than 20 members of the patrol team were cut to the ground.
It's not that the members of these patrol teams are weak, but that after Kane and the three of them went berserk, each of them has the strength of the Sword Sect or above. It was the people who dealt with these patrols that the situation was one-sided.
However, Kane and the others were still very measured, knowing that if they killed these people in the city, they would definitely cause a lot of trouble!
"Don't let me hear insults to the cow people from your mouth again, or it won't be so easy next time. Murphy walked up to Victor and patted him on the face in warning.
The movement here has long attracted the onlookers of the surrounding crowd. At this time, the surrounding onlookers saw that Mo Fei and the others were so fierce, and they kept a considerable distance from them.
Looking at the reactions of the crowd around him, Mo Fei was still very satisfied. Originally, he led this hundred berserkers to show Tyron the Great the strong fighting power of the berserkers, so as to ask him for more military funds.
This Victor was also unlucky, and just bumped into it for himself.
