Chapter 022: The Source of the Mutation
After conquering the Underworld.
Regarding the casting of a large number of standard weapons, it was placed in front of Yang Jiangong's eyes. A mere few hundred dwarven craftsmen simply could not meet the needs of the Manchu war.
And the Dwarven Artisans and the rail ore are not free.
Now there is the Underworld Factory, and there are nearly 30,000 free Fire Clan craftsmen. At the moment, King Camelot's attitude is becoming more and more wavering, and the orcs can sneak through the entire Camelot Kingdom to attack Black Mountain, so a large-scale explosion of troops is already necessary.
The expansion of the army requires strong logistical production.
The reason why Yang Jiangong did not freeze the form of the glorious warrior sword of the glorious professional warrior as the impression of the Romanesque short sword. Mainly because of the Roman-style dagger, the appearance of this weapon was associated with the operational ideas of the Roman army.
At the beginning of the battle, the first thing was to throw javelins from a long distance, and when the enemy was at close range, and then use shields to protect the whole body, and the arrangement was a dense array of shoulder to shoulder, and individuals did not have a lot of room for maneuver. As a result, the sword used was short and was mainly used for stabbing rather than slashing.
The Romanesque short sword, generally 30-40 cm in length, is used to pierce the opponent's vital parts, heart or abdomen as much as possible during combat.
In addition to being the most common weapon in various fantasy novels and movies, the Glorious Swordsman's Sword is the most common equipment in medieval European armies. It is about 3 feet long and swings with one hand. The sword has two edges, and if you miss a hit, you can fight back without flipping your wrist.
In addition to the design and consideration of the weapon.
Yang Jiangong formally determined the establishment of the army after the expansion.
The Lol Cardin Youth Army is made up of semi-professional teenagers and youths, whose passion has been proven in the conquest of the underworld, as the slogan that called on them: "Father said that the best place for a boy is the battlefield!" When we are about to become adults, we will use a battle to prove that we are capable of being soldiers who are good at fighting! We will use the blood of our enemies to complete the rite of passage! Tonight the girls will be immersed in our battle stories, and we will be their heroes! The enemy laughs at us for being ignorant, so much so that we will let the enemy know what it means to be more fearless than the ignorant. ”
The Radiant Legion infantry is made up of full-fledged soldiers of all professions. As the most central force, their size was only four thousand people. "Our back-of-house is our land. Family, and compatriots! We will protect them, defend our property! Although we are ordinary soldiers, we are the mainstay of the Roman army! Officially we defended Lohr Cardin, and we are Lol Cardin's dependence. ”
The Lol Cardan Dragon Banner Force, which is one of the very few fighters who are particularly brave in battle and have won combat merits, has only two brigades of 600 people. When they go to battle, they can use the dragon banner to show their glory. "We are the glory of the kingdom of Lol Cardin! Our dragon flag is the faith of all Lorkadan people. The Dragon Banner guides us forward, and all enemies who stand in the way of the Dragon Banner will perish, and the enemy covets our Dragon Banner. They wanted to take away the dragon banner and trample on the glory of Lol Cardin. But we will defend the Dragon Banner to the death, and we will win! Because wherever the Dragon Banner goes, we are invincible! ”
Lol Cardin's elite pikemen, "The enemy's cavalry is on the move, they want to attack our flanks, they want to attack our fragile archers!" But we guard the flanks of the kingdom! Not a single cavalry could break through our lines! We don't need javelins! We just need spears with our bodies! Let's use our bodies to rush the torrent of enemies! We want the cavalry to know what it means to be indestructible. ”
Hidden Assassin Troop: "We are ghosts in the night, we only appear in the quietest of nights." The leader of the enemy did not know that the twin blades had pierced his back. The enemy did not know that disaster had befallen him, the enemy only knew that death was coming, and there was a story among them that Lol Cardin was armed with a mask warrior with two blades. He is an apostle of death. ”
Knights of Lol Cardin: "Enemy! You are about to face the undaunted charge of the Silver Dragon Knights. No one can stop us! And you're just a bunch of crumbs!! It's too late to escape! Or try the Iron Cavalry Charge. Come! Have a good time! ”
Lol Cardin Blood Archer: "We are the strongest archers, we are well trained, we are tireless. We fight under the dragon flag, and every arrow we use kills an enemy. Our rockets can kill the best protected infantry. And the swords we carry can kill any enemy who dares to engage us in melee combat. ”
…… For the next half a month, Yang Jiangong was busy with things in the underground world.
During this period of Huang Yizhou's intense defense of Black Mountain Hills, Cicero and his population brigade. With the help of the Minotaurs, they finally entered the border of the kingdom of Lorkadan and successfully reached the town of Black Mountain.
"It's ......"
After resting all night in Black Hill, when General Cicero noticed the abnormality of his body, his whole body trembled, his hair stood on end, and he almost lost his eyes and fainted on the spot.
"This, what's going on with this TM...... "Even though I'm used to seeing blood, I have senseless courage. When Cicero's eyes were on his body, looking at the golden feathers all over his body, his horrified eyes froze for a full three minutes before slowly moving away.
When he saw the sword hanging from the head of the bed, Cicero was startled, and he hurriedly got up, took it from the head of the bed, and drew the sword in his hand.
Through the faint light of the fire, from the reflection of the blade of the short sword, Cicero saw a ...... 'eagle face' like a 'monster'?
Perhaps it was due to excessive fright, which touched Cicero's back nerves, he subconsciously couldn't help but move, and suddenly stretched out a pair of wide and domineering eagle wings from behind!
"I'm ......!"
Cicero's eyes darkened and he faltered, and just as he was on the verge of a mental breakdown, he discovered the perpetrator of the prank.
Bone Scepter!??
Cicero instantly understood the source of the mutation in his body.
Staring at the glowing bone scepter.
After fully recovering his consciousness, Cicero thought quickly about these questions in his mind, and when his eyes turned, he suddenly realized a bright spot. He can consciously control the changes in his body.
Cicero secretly used his mind, only to see that the feathers on his body, as well as the appearance of eagle-like facial features, were magically recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After about three or five seconds, Cicero was relieved to be relieved to return to his human form. "It's better to hand over this thing from the Eagle Queen to His Majesty the King sooner."
"Hallucination, it must be an illusion! Nothing that just happened is true! ”
Cicero was calm for a while. When I secretly comfort myself. Suddenly, there was a slight noise behind him. Cicero looked back and saw that it was the fairy Alice, who was already standing by the door when Cicero sat up from the bedside abruptly!
Alice saw everything that had happened in a short period of time.
The look in her visibly frightened eyes is proof enough.
"Alice?"
Finding Alice's trembling body, Cicero's face showed a trace of distress. He tentatively called Alice's name, and crouched down and stretched out his arms to her.
Facing Cicero's outstretched arms, the frightened Alice was visibly stunned, in just two seconds. Her face seemed to be struggling with some kind of unspeakable struggle, but Alice finally chose to throw herself into Cicero's arms without hesitation.
Alice left the Elven Forest without hesitation, and although Cicero knew it was wrong to kidnap her, she did it anyway. This will estimate that his grandfather will be furious.
"Brother, just now, just now, just now, ......"
"Are you really my brother Cicero?"
Alice was in Cicero's arms, raising her face pale from fright, and her big beautiful eyes were fixed on Cicero's cheeks, lest she would not get the answer she wanted.
Cicero reached out and stroked the pink skin of Alice's face. Considering that the appearance of the monster just now was a little scary, he couldn't bear to frighten Alice, so he secretly made up an interesting lie, "Alice." Of course, the feathered monster just now wasn't me. It just burrowed into my brother's body, and every time I used this bone scepter, it would run out disobediently......"
"You have to keep this secret for your brother. Every time it comes out, you have to get out of the way quickly......"
"About the origin of this monster. My brother told you a story, well, that's right. It is said that in ancient times, there was a great eagle......
Just as Cicero was talking more and more energetically, the more he was talking, the more he was talking, the more boundless he became.
A cold smile broke out on Alice's serious face, "Brother, you lie!" That's that, that...... Alice knows it. It was a harpy among the orcs, not an eagle man, and there were very few eagle people, and there were no more than a hundred years ago. ”
Cicero almost forgot that this little girl was from the Fairy Forest.
Alice probably knows more about orcs than Cicero.
"General!"
Hearing movement in the house, Huang Yizhou pushed the door in. The general of the Radiant Legion and the consul of a town, he was significantly inferior to Cicero in terms of rank.
"Oh, it's Your Excellency the Town Archon."
Cicero straightened his clothes, and his expression became serious.
"Your Excellency, you have been asleep for a day and a night. I suggest that you be the first to rush back to Lol Cardin, His Majesty awaits you. Huang Yizhou is a little selfish in this suggestion. He wanted to retain command of his two brigades. If Cicero had remained in Black Hill, he would have only been in command of the dozens of men in the town magistrate's office.
"Okay, I'll be Lore Cardin today. I just don't know how the orc invasion is handled? Cicero asked about the recent attack on Montenegro.
"Back to the General, the Orc attack has been repulsed, and His Majesty the King has confirmed that there is no follow-up invasion force."
"Well, I'll get off as soon as I can." Cicero felt he should go back.
"Okay, General!" Huang Yizhou left the room. Next, he should prepare to ask Yang Jiangong as soon as possible, retain the command of his 300 Radiant Swordsmen and 300 Radiant Warriors, and also talk about Cao Feng's problem.
Seeing Alice's reluctant eyes, Cicero could only persuade him with kind words and promised to come back in two days.
…………
The journey back to the city of Lorkadin is not too far, nor is it too close.
Cicero lifted the palm of his hand, which had been transformed into an 'eagle claw', and remembered Alice's explanation of the 'Bone Scepter'. Even Cicero didn't expect that this little goblin girl would know so much.
The nine shamanic weapons of the orcs are very mysterious, and the goblin records only know the fairy queen's frozen crown, the fox man's flower armor, and the bone scepter. Legend has it that if you collect nine pieces of weaponry, you can get a mysterious key. What exactly this 'key' symbolizes is not recorded.
This bone scepter can be freely transformed between humans and eaglemen, and I wonder what kind of magical functions other shamanic weapons have?
On the long and bloody road of conquest, Cicero had a new goal in mind, and that was to collect as many other shamanic weapons as possible. Then dedicate them to His Majesty the King.
Eagle King Transformation, this skill. Although it looks like a cold Harpy, the feeling it brings to Cicero, in addition to the exponential increase in strength, his sense of hearing, smell, and sight are more than ten times stronger than before the transformation.
In addition to this, it also has one of the most perverted functions, that is, - flying!
Flying is a feeling of freedom!
Cicero flapped his wings and soared into the air, and at first he had a little difficulty grasping the air flow and wind direction, so it was better to keep the sparrow flying neatly.
But after he got used to the feeling, he swam in the air, his body was gentle, and it felt like he was swimming!
Hovering over the Eagle's Nest, looking down on the earth, I felt that everything was clear, but small...... As he became accustomed to the sensation of flying, Cicero flew higher and higher, melting into the sky along with the white clouds.
In a trance, all sensations are disappearing, and only the sound of heaven can be heard in the distance.
The emptiness of the sky seems to be endless, and in short, the feeling of flying is the feeling of freedom!
Experiencing the sensation of flying for the first time, the moment the sun rose, Cicero landed on a roof of the city of Lol Cardin and was restored to its original appearance.
And at this time, a directive came to his mind, "Looks like you've found something interesting, Cicero." ”
Through the crystal ball of true knowledge, Yang Jiangong has seen the true face of this UFO.
Seven days later.
When Cicero returned to Black Hill.
Seeing Alice's two pitiful black eyes again, I couldn't help but feel a burst of amusement, "Alice, didn't you sleep well last night?" ”
"I'm afraid I'll oversleep, and I don't know when my brother comes back." Alice replied with a pout. During Cicero's seven days away, Alice was always looking forward to his early return.
Alice's attachment to Cicero is no longer the same as that of a brother and sister.
At least, in Cicero's eyes.
