Another week passed after Lin Xuan and Sander left.

Richard taught it to Ron and Viscount Sauter respectively after learning the Blue Qi Induction, and Ron, who also had a hero template, quickly completed the introduction.

However, Viscount Sauter has never been able to complete the entry, and Viscount Sauter, who was actually quite talented, began to have self-doubts under the blows of Richard and Ron.

Regardless of the problem of cultivation, at this time, Richard was taking Egg to learn about the equipment in the ordnance factory in Ironwood City.

The whole factory area was in full swing, and the Ironwood City Ordnance Workshop, which originally consisted of only a dozen half-hung masters, had been greatly expanded after the Hunter family defeated the Will family.

The craftsmen of the Will family were all added to the Ironwood City Ordnance Factory, and they greatly improved the efficiency of the armory after becoming familiar with the assembly line operation of the Ironwood City Armory.

"This is our own iron ore?"

Richard asked, from an iron gun on the shelf that had not yet been fitted with the barrel of the gun:

"Yes, the current batch of equipment is made of ore from that vein in the Ironwood Forest."

The steward who followed on the side hurriedly replied.

"How does it compare to the mine I bought from the West?"

"The weapons and armor made by the mines in the west are of better quality, but they are too expensive, and our own mines can use up enough materials, and they are not much worse."

Richard nodded in agreement, when there were few people before, it was affordable to buy high-quality iron ore in the western realm, but now that the army has expanded tenfold, it is unwise to blindly pursue quality, and you have to live carefully.

"How much armor and weapons can we produce per week now?"

"In the case of sufficient raw materials, cloth armor can produce more than 100 pieces a week, knight swords can be made more than 50 handles, more than 500 spear heads, and thousands of arrows."

"Now the knight's sword and spearhead have met the expansion needs, mainly focusing on building cloth armor, and then expanding the production to a certain extent after a while."

In the feudal era, there was no shortage of weapons, what was really lacking was armor, and one of the important indicators to see the strength of an army's combat effectiveness was the armor rate.

Although the cloth face armor is simple and cost-effective, it is armor after all, and even if the leading production method of assembly line production is introduced, the production capacity is still a little tight.

Up to now, half of the Flying Bears are still without armor and are training in sackcloth and straw rope leather armor for the time being.

Richard checked the quality of his armor and weapons, and was generally satisfied.

All the things that are heavily equipped cannot be completely considered in terms of quality, it is necessary to find a balance between price and quality.

These equipment may not be excellent, but they are definitely qualified ordnance. can be so extravagant to wear armor for all soldiers, in the entire northland, except for the wealthy Jingbei army, I am afraid that only Richard can do it.

"The output is gradually increasing, and the quality is not relaxed, you have to worry a lot, and you have worked hard."

"Unfortunately, everything I have is given by Master Richard, I ......"

Richard's words made the face of the manager of the ordnance factory on the side blush with excitement, and his speech became a little incoherent.

After a few words of encouragement to the workers, Richard and his men left the ordnance factory.

It's a new week, and it's time to see how Boulder Castle develops.

In the new week, the castle has 1 more building point, and the temple for 5th and 6th cavalry camps are still gray and unbuildable.

Richard couldn't figure out the reason for the time being, so he could only choose to upgrade the swordsman camp to the Crusader camp first.

"Sure enough."

Richard squeezed his hands with some excitement, after the building was upgraded, the previous swordsmen appeared in a state that could be upgraded, and decisively consumed some Kinnar to promote several swordsmen to Crusaders.

This week, Richard's personal strength and military strength have almost improved by leaps and bounds. At this moment, let's look at Richard's personal panel:

Name: Richard

Level: 4 (560/8000)

Power: 12.9

Constitution: 11.9

Dexterity: 12.1

Spiritual: 4.2

Skills: Beast's Breathing Method (Grandmaster) is the highest, Green Qi Induction Technique (Elementary), Offensive Technique (Intermediate).

Army: Spearmen (70), Archers (40), Griffons 18, Royal Griffons (5), Crusaders (10)

Replacing the general qi induction technique with the Qingzhi Qi Technique can be described as a shotgun change, and all aspects of attributes and fighting qi are already at the level of senior knights.

The system army under his command has been replenished again, especially the ten Crusaders, which means that Richard's command has increased the combat power of ten knights (Ron is no longer counted as a hero unit)

Although the system army is strong, Richard still attaches importance to the operation of his own forces.

After all, the system army is strong, but the number is still too small, and the most produced spearmen are only 20 a week, and there are only 2,000 in two years, which is not enough to see on the battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people that may be encountered in the future.

After studying the various buildings of the Boulder Fort for a while, Richard made another round of the barracks, brushing his presence every day.

In less than a month, this group of recruits has been trained to look good, after all, there is an official school in Tiemu City, and there is no shortage of qualified grassroots officers in Tiemu City, and the quasi-knights who can be used as grassroots officers under the accumulation of thick and thin hair have also begun to become rich.

Richard, who had dealt with a day's chores, had a clearer understanding of the military strength under his command.

At this time, he began to think about the difficult task in his mind, with more than a dozen knight-level combat forces overwhelming, maybe he could try to exterminate a small ogre tribe.

……

Drifting Snow City, in the mansion of the Fourth Young Master of Ranster.

Lin Xuan was still holding a few books given by Richard to do research, since he got it back from Hunter last week, Lin Xuan stayed in the mansion and didn't go anywhere, just holding these books to study non-stop, and constantly making notes and annotations.

I'm afraid that Richard himself is not as meticulous as Lin Xuan.

"Young Master, Lord Marquis asked you to go to the meeting."

Just as Lin Xuan was fascinated, Sander's voice dragged Lin Xuan out of the sea of books.

"Do you know what's going on?"

Lin Xuan raised his eyes and did not put down the book in his hand.

"The Sword Eagle Knight has detected that there is a super-large ogre tribe migrating in the wilderness."

"How far is it?"

Lin Xuan finally put down the book in his hand and asked seriously.

"They came from the Western Wilderness, and they were about three hundred kilometers away from the nearest noble domain."

Lin Xuan frowned when he heard this,

Three hundred kilometers is already very close, and if you go faster, you can enter the territory of human existence in a week.

Ogres have always been the most troublesome enemy of the Northlands, and each adult ogre is equivalent to the best of the human would-be knights. Stronger ogre warriors can compete with knights.

In the past, ogres would flow from the wilderness to the edge of human territory, and the number was not many, and the most common one was the arrival of a medium-sized tribe with less than five hundred ogres, which directly led to the demise of several aristocratic families.

And a super-large ogre tribe is composed of at least three thousand ogres, and if one does not deal with it well, it may even be necessary for the entire northern territory to let them be punished, so Lin Xuan can't pay attention to it.

"Let's go, Sander, let's talk as we go."

Lin Xuan rarely showed a serious attitude, urging Sander to rush to the Lancet family council room.
