Chapter 406: The Matter of Knighthood
In the distance, blood was dripping, flesh was everywhere, and the misery was terrifying, this was the lethality of the iron gun within 500 meters, and the iron gun showed amazing penetration under the action of the ballista.
Alan then asked Newman to pull the distance to 700 meters to measure the destructive power of the iron gun at different distances.
At a distance of seven hundred meters, the lethality of the spear that burst out was still not to be underestimated, penetrating three oxen, and this kind of power, if it hit a low-level knight wearing iron armor, it was estimated that it would be killed with one hit.
Satisfied with the power of the ballista, Alan turned around.
"Newman, if the materials are abundant, how long will it take to make a ballista like this!"
Newman bowed down and said, "Lord Earl, if the materials are sufficient, it will take seven or eight days to make a ballista like this!"
"Seven or eight days, can't the time be shortened?" Allen looked stunned and frowned.
"My lord, this ......" Newman grimaced.
"Alright then, from now on, the Logistics Bureau will start to produce this ballista, don't worry about the materials, the territory will supply itself!"
It seems that it will not be used in a short period of time! Looking at the ink-colored ballista, Alan sighed in his heart.
After understanding the combat effectiveness of this ballista, Allen immediately thought of putting it into the battlefield, once this ballista formed a scale, it was definitely a big killer on the battlefield, whether it was against cavalry or infantry, or siege warfare, it was very advantageous.
And if Alan wants to take the entire territory of the Principality of Kane under his command next, it will definitely be a few major battles, and the armies of the three principalities will become his opponents.
The strength of the Fire Wheat Collar is indeed good, it can gather an army of more than 25,000 people, and there are a few high-ranking knights, but it can't underestimate other principalities.
The establishment of the three principalities took longer than the Principality of Kane, and under the accumulation of time, the three principalities are naturally extraordinary, take the Principality of Linton, which now occupies the territory of Kane, for example, this invasion sent an army of 20,000!
If you add the Principality of Side and the Principality of Blue, the army of the three kingdoms that invaded the Kane Territory this time has reached 40,000 people!
Fortunately, the disappearance of the Diff family has made the three principalities that were originally allied now fighting separately, and they are all busy swallowing their own share of the cake.
This also gives the Fire Wheat Collar a chance to break through one by one, Allen's plan is naturally to take the lead in defeating the army of the Principality of Blue, without the army of the Principality of Blue, even if the Principality of Linton and the Principality of Side react and unite together, the two armies together will be 20,000 people, and the same as the Fire Wheat Collar at this time, the Fire Wheat Collar is not afraid at all.
And even if the three principalities want to raise troops and materials and make a comeback, it will take a lot of time, and it is impossible to say that it will come, and at that time, Alan has almost integrated the Principality of Kane, and when Allen's extraordinary strength is revealed, the three principalities can only endure this breath.
The superlatively strong already have the strength to establish a principality, and Alan is not Kane Diff, Kane Div is approaching his birthday, and his deterrent power has been greatly reduced, which makes the Three Kingdoms covet it.
Moreover, the strength of the army in Allen's hands is not weak, once the war is forced, even if the three principalities win, they will suffer heavy losses.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the three principalities will work together to deal with Allen again, and the three extraordinary powerhouses will be dispatched at the same time to besiege him! However, Allen himself thinks that this possibility is very small.
The most important thing is that the means of the extraordinary strong are changeable, Alan is young, and he can live for many years, once Alan escapes, then the three principalities will not have a good life in the future, and no principality wants to face an extraordinary strong man who does not care about it and is hostile to himself, and this strong man can live for more than a hundred years!
Under the watchful eye of Newman and his party, Allen left the Logistics Bureau with Budbaton.
In fact, Alan still has a lot of ideas for the use of ballistas, such as erecting them on the city wall, which can be pulled by horses, or they can be mounted on sea ships to deal with sea beasts, etc., but everything has to be done step by step, and these things will be slowly realized after Allen establishes the principality.
As soon as Alan returned to Castle Twilight, he saw Erin sitting in the hall.
"Alan, you're finally back!" Erin was surprised when she saw Alan.
"What's the matter?" Alan sat on the chair above the hall, looking at Erin who stood up, frowning, Erin usually doesn't look for herself so actively, except when she is in trouble.
"I'm here to talk to you about the Litt family, and now that their family is in Twilight City, and you've sent someone to guard it, do you see if you can ......?" stammered Erin.
"What? you want me to let them go?" said Allen.
"No, it's not, you see... Can you give them back the fief, after all, Litt has already submitted to you on behalf of the Damulin family......" Erin said in a tangled voice.
"Did Little tell you that?" Allen's tone turned cold when he heard this, and his eyes flashed fiercely.
"No... No, Litt didn't, it was my own idea!" Erin panicked when she saw the change in Alan's face.
Erin has been with Little for a long time and is also deeply influenced by Little, but she knows how much Little is afraid of Allen, and she is usually careful in everything she says and does, afraid of doing something that makes Allen dissatisfied.
She has always been not deeply touched by Allen's invasion of the territory and the destruction of the family, nor has she thought about what kind of bloody methods are inside, after all, no victim can come to her to describe this kind of thing in person.
But since getting along with Little for more and more time, listening to his admiration and fear of Allen's methods, Erin has gradually realized that Allen and her original impression of her brother are very different.
"Don't mention this matter again, I have my own arrangements for the Damulin family, and you don't have to worry about it!" Erin said coldly.
Looking at the back of Erin leaving, Allen's face was calm, although he was a little dissatisfied with Erin's behavior, but he didn't have too much malice towards the Damulin family, after all, if nothing else, Erin would marry into the Damulin family in the future, and for Erin's future life, Alan would also restore the Damulin family title.
At the same time, Erin's incident today also reminded Allen that he was going to consider the matter of knighthood, and the Scarlet Continent implemented the aristocratic feudal system, so Allen naturally couldn't be a maverick.
During this time, because Allen's start speed was too fast, and he has maintained rapid development and rapid expansion of his territory, the matter of knighthood has not been planned.
But once Alan takes possession of the Duchy of Kane and completes his plan to establish the Duchy in the near future, his expansion will be stalled for a long time, and knighthood will be imperative.
