Chapter 161: Alec's Crossbow

In two weeks, the Federation will officially march into the Abyss, and it has been decided that lords above the rank of viscount must draw more than half of their guards to fight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is not difficult for Leitch to understand the reason for this mandatory provision - the Karachi Magic Empire, the Holy Laurent Empire, the Holy War Campura Empire, and even the Kingdom of Abidjan have all made big moves, and the ten lords of the Federation are obviously not far behind; I just don't know if the ten major lords have the intention of pulling cannon fodder******

After the round table, Ritch rushed back to the Black Wind Territory with Orfina in the afternoon - according to the rules of the expedition, Ritch had to bring at least 500 knights and knights to the battle, but now his Black Wind Knights only had 50 knights and 150 knights******

Three days later, Leitch sat on the lord's seat in the castle of Black Wind, while Luau, Niu Yi and the others sat on either side of the lord's long table.

"Congratulations to you for being made a viscount and opening up the knighthood!"

Lu Ao, Niu Yi and the others all looked very excited, and at the same time, there was an incomparable look of reverence on their faces, they still remembered that when they first received the order to kill the Ten Kings, the Lord had mentioned that this might be an opportunity to accelerate his rise, and now, the Lord has not only been awarded the title of Viscount, created the Law Ring, but also become the first newly crowned pioneer knight in the four thousand years since the establishment of the Federation!

"Hehe, next time Viscount Jinsha dares to lead troops into our territory, and the adults can directly destroy that bird and annex his territory!"

Lei Qi directly ignored Niu Qi's foolishness, but turned his head to look at Niu Yi and Lu Ao, and said, "How are the things I asked you to prepare?"

"It's ready. Luau replied.

"Good. Leitch nodded in satisfaction - what he had asked Luau to prepare had only been improvised after breaking through the Demon Sealers, less than a week ago, and to be able to fulfill his request in such a short period of time, he was becoming more and more shrewd and capable as a steward.

Immediately, Leitch looked at Niu Yi. Seeing the viscount looking at him, Niu Yi scratched his head, and finally smiled bitterly: "My lord, you should go and see it yourself, I don't know if that thing is what you want." ”

"Then let's take a look. Leitch smiled and comforted Niu Yi, he also understood that this really couldn't blame Niu Yi, because from the history that Leitch was familiar with, the kind of thing he had Niu Yi secretly make had never appeared in Andrew's world.

Under Niu Yi's opening path, Leitch and the others finally came to the underground armory. The so-called armory is the place where weapons and armor are manufactured and stored. The armory located under the Black Wind Castle is about two hundred square meters, and there are a large number of weapon racks, armor racks, and chests.

It can be seen that most of these weapon racks display brand-new long swords, maces, hand axes, two-handed broadswords, double-sided axes, long hammers, daggers and other weapons, and the armor racks are also placed shiny black heavy armor, black leather armor, leather armor, nail armor, etc., and I don't even know if there are still in those boxes - these weapons and armor are enough to equip hundreds of people, but they are mostly black iron, and bronze-level weapons and armor only account for less than one-fifth.

At the other end, there are blacksmiths' furnaces, forging tables, leather racks, whetstones, workbenches, and other equipment, and more than a dozen blacksmiths are busy working.

"Your Excellency!"

The blacksmiths hurriedly salute when they find Reitch leading a group of people into the armory, and seven of them have actually seen Reitch, Arthur's father, Shem, and the six captives captured during the siege of the Red-Haired Pirates. Of course, the six captives had long since been freed, and they were quite satisfied with their present life - full, and the inhabitants of the Black Wind City were very kind to them, and at the same time there was a deep envy, because they were working for the Baron, no, for the Viscount!

Ever since he became Lord of the Darkwind Realm, Leitch had never given up on scavenging for skilled talents such as blacksmiths, and even when he wasn't in the realm, he secretly told the Luau faction to keep an eye on anyone who could be under his command. However, blacksmiths are not so easy to loot, and now these dozen blacksmiths, except for Shem and the six captives who came over, almost all of the rest were bought by Luau from various slave markets for a lot of money.

With the size of Leitch's current territory, in fact, a dozen blacksmiths are enough, but for a blacksmith, Leitch never has too many talents, not to mention that he also has a Black Wind Chamber of Commerce - it seems that he still has to find a way to increase the scale of blacksmiths, especially the level of blacksmiths - of these dozen blacksmiths, only four of them have reached the elite level of blacksmiths and can make bronze-level weapons, and the rest are only apprentice-level blacksmiths, and judging from the current speed of Leqi's development, this is simply not able to keep up with his pace******

"My lord, this is what you want. ”

Everyone looked curiously at the metal objects that Niu Yi took out - wings, strings, arrows, arrow slots, triggers, column chest crutches, and hand eyes****** yes, this is a crossbow, and it is also a Zhuge repeater that can fire ten times in a row!

However, except for Leitch, everyone else had obviously seen this kind of thing for the first time, and even Orfina had a curious look on her face, and her wild eyes flashed with moving colors.

"If it's something I want, let's see how it goes. Richie smiled and took the repeater from the bull's hand, walked over to a stack of arrows, and began to load the magazine with crossbow arrows.

After filling the arrow box with ten Nu River, Lei Qi picked up the repeater and aimed at the bull's-eye of the arrow stack, as Lei Qi pulled the trigger, everyone heard two "bang" and "poof" sounds, and then when they looked at the bullseye of the arrow stack, they were shocked to find that there was already an extra crossbow arrow on it! Obviously, this crossbow arrow was shot out through the machine in Leqi's hand, but whether it was Lu Ao, Niu Yi and others, or the well-informed witch Orfina, their eyes were full of incomprehension. Because they hadn't seen Retch draw his bow at all, but why could that machine shoot an arrow like a longbow? Doesn't that mean that even if you are not a ranger, you can be a powerful archer?

"The gods are above!"

A young blacksmith looked at the repeater in Reich's hand in horror, as if he were looking at a demon lord from the abyss, and then he looked at his hands in disbelief, like a good man who kills someone by accident, looking at his blood-stained hands full of fear.

"Young blacksmith, don't be afraid, this is a gift from the gods. Leitch looked directly at the young man, his voice calm and majestic, and Leitch's voice seemed to contain magical power, and the terrified blacksmith finally calmed down under the gaze of Leitch, whose gaze was as calm as a deep pool.

"You've done a good job," Reich smiled at the blacksmiths, who were so affectionately watched, and the blacksmiths, who had been once slaves and had been freed by Reich's forgiveness, were very excited, "so I have decided to reward you - 50 gold coins for each of the apprentice blacksmiths, 200 gold for each of the full-time blacksmiths, and 300 gold for Uncle Shem as the foreman." Work hard, and for the rest of the time, you will give me all the strength to make this weapon, and its name will be Alec's crossbow. ”

"Thank you, sir!"

Under Leitch's heavy reward, these blacksmiths were inexplicably excited, this reward was definitely a surprise for them, and it was also a great fortune, and the viscount was really generous!

Reich was indeed quite generous to these blacksmiths -- after buying them from the slave traders at great expense, restoring their freedom, giving them a place to live, and being treated quite well -- for these blacksmiths, Reich was subject to a system of "distribution according to work," and even on festivals he would pay bonuses according to his usual performance! These were things they did not dare to hope for when they were slaves.

"My lord, what the hell is going on with this thing?" Lu Au had not completely recovered from the shock caused by Alec's crossbow before, and even stammered a little when he spoke, which was undoubtedly rare in Lu Ao, who had always been calm and composed. But no one laughed at Luau at this time, because they weren't much better.

"You can think of this as an alternative bow, one that doesn't need the Heart of Storm to activate. Leitch smiled blandly, and it could be said that the performance of Luau and the others had been expected by him.

Some people may wonder how it is possible that Andrew's world has such a high level of magical civilization and weaponry that there is no crossbow, but I would say that it is possible - because this is the world where the gods are educating the world.

In Andrew's world, there is a system called the Ranger, and their weapon is the same - the longbow. The arrows of the Holy Rank Ranger to the Moon can even shoot a mountain with one arrow, cut a river with an arrow, and shoot the enemy's head from a hundred miles away! But the premise of becoming a Ranger is to awaken the Heart of the Storm!

The Ranger believes in the Lord of the Hunt, the God of the Bow, and the awakened skill is also related to archery - ordinary longbows, even if they are not awakened, can still be used, but high-grade weapons, even if they are only black iron level, must only be used by rangers! Otherwise, even a sage will not be able to pull out a black iron longbow!

Only rangers can use longbows - invisibly, this has become a dogma. And the effect of this - the Ranger is only concerned with how to improve archery skills and make better longbows, and not the Ranger people, I guess no one will pay attention, because the dogma of the people has already made them understand that this is in vain!

So it stands to reason that the crossbow did not appear in Andrew's world, and perhaps it did, but it was erased by an invisible force*******

In any case, the birth of the Alec Repeater will undoubtedly change the pattern of this world to a certain extent in the near future!

As for why he chose to name the crossbow Alec, because Leitch wanted to let the world know that the first repeater in the world was made by him Leitch Alec! Whoever made and used the crossbow in the future must owe it to him! Firmly tied his surname to the crossbow, and in the dark, his intuition told Leitch that this was very meaningful******
