Chapter 136: The Clam Shell Shield

The Kokar centaurs fled, and the Battle Fishmen of Ratchet Village stopped their pursuit after hearing the sound of the horn, and all the Battle Fishmen returned to the west gate of the village. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After driving away the centaurs, the fishmen of Ratchet Village began to count casualties, clean up the battlefield, and collect loot.

The Kokar Centaurs are good at making bows and arrows, and almost every centaur carries this longbow, so there are a lot of longbows collected on the battlefield. In addition to bows and arrows, the loot harvested included the huge and heavy wooden clubs, axes, and spears used by centaurs, the largest of which were spears that fit the body of centaurs.

"Lord, a total of eighty-five Kokar centaurs were killed and seventy-eight were captured. Forty-two fishmen were killed in the village, and forty lobstermen. The old blind eye reported to Yang Yi.

"I still have an advantage in the front and back of the centaur, but I didn't expect so many fishmen to die. The centaur longbow has a long range and is powerful, and the fishmen in the village lack sufficient armor, especially those who do not have large shields. ”

Yang Yi nodded after listening to the old blind report, he was thinking about the configuration of the battle fishmen in Ratchet Village.

Fighting fishmen without shield protection are too disadvantageous when facing an enemy like Centaurs who are good at bow and arrow attacks, and the arrows fired in dense numbers before the two sides are close have already caused heavy casualties to the fishmen.

"In terms of long-range attacks, although the Fish-Man is not good at bows and crossbows, they still have a certain talent for throwing, and they may be able to form a special Fish-Man spear-throwing force like the troll spear-throwers of the tribe's dark spear trolls." Yang Yi thought.

Yang Yi learned about the casualties of the battle and came to Bane the Minotaur. "Thank you for your help, these centaurs are really hard to deal with."

"It's just a gesture, you and the fishmen in your village helped rescue Jerrick, and Bane hasn't repaid it yet." Bane pestled the halberd to the ground, and then he continued, "These centaurs won't stop there, they'll come back sooner or later. ”

"Even if the Kokar centaurs return, our Wormtooth Fishmen will beat them to the point where they run away with their tails between their legs as they did today." Yang Yi said confidently.

"Well, your Ratchet Village is an unusual Fish-Man Village, not to mention you, the even more unusual Fish-Man Village Chief, Bane believes you can do it." Bane said with a smile.

"Yes, Ratchet Village can do it, let's go in, and the battlefield will send fishmen to clean it up."

Yang Yi and Bain walked side by side into the west gate of Ratchet Village.

The west side of Ratchet Village is usually occupied by Pioneers, who hide when they see the menacing Centaur Brigade.

After the centaurs fled, the pioneers popped up one by one, all talking excitedly about the battle they had just had.

In a hidden place outside Ratchet Village, more than a dozen pioneers have emerged, including Ouyang, Mu Xiaolan, and Applejack.

"It seems that the relationship between this fish-man village and Bane Bloodhoof is very unusual, Bane Bloodhoof not only attacked the centaur camp at night with these fishmen, but also helped this fish-man village deal with centaurs together." Mu Xiaolan looked in the direction of Ratchet Village and whispered.

"The relationship is really not ordinary." Ouyang agreed.

"I've heard that this fish-man village is very willing to deal with our pioneers, so we might be able to visit here often." Applejack proposes.

"If you want to kill the centaurs anyway, you might as well use this fish-man village as a resting place, at least it's much closer than the crossroads. And the fishmen in this fish-man village are indeed very different from the fish-people in other places. Ouyang said. He had been in contact with the Fish-People of Ratchet Village for a long time, so he was deeply impressed by the Fish-Man Village.

"Hmm." Mu Xiaolan nodded.

……%……

Yang Yi and Bane returned to Ratchet Village, and as soon as he and Bane were separated, he received news from the fish-people in the village that the construction of the Sea Oath Altar was completed.

The Level 1 Fish-Man Sea Oath Altar took a total of nine days before and after, and it was only now that it was built, and this construction time alone is basically equal to the ten-day time limit for the construction task.

Yang Yi came to the beach, where the Altar of Sea Oaths was built on a barren beach to the east of Ratchet City, where few people usually came.

The Fishmen of Ratchet Village are busy healing wounded combat Fishmen or cleaning up the battlefield, and there are only a dozen or so Fishmen on the beach in charge of construction.

"Village Chief, is the battle between the Fishmen and Centaurs in the village over?"

Gollum, a Level 4 construction worker, immediately ran over when he saw Yang Yi, followed by a fishman. This fish-man is a new level 3 builder in the village, and Yang Yi also gave him a name after this fish-man was promoted to an intermediate construction worker-woolu ratchet builder.

"It's over, those centaurs have been beaten away by the battle fishmen of our Ratchet Village." Yang Yi announced loudly.

"The village chief is wise!"

"Long live the village chief!"

"The village chief is awesome!"

"Mula quack!"

……

Gollum and the other construction fishmen cheered when they heard the news that the Centaurs had been defeated by Ratchet Village, and the Fishmen had directly attacked the centaur team, which was a terrible thing.

"Village Chief, the Level 1 Fishman Sea Oath Altar has been built." Gollum cheered for a while before speaking.

"Very good, Gollum, Woolu, and the fishmen who participated in the construction together, you did a good job, and you are all rewarded. The other fishmen also have to work hard, and as long as you become a mid-level builder, I will give you a name like Gollum and Woolur. Yang Yi said loudly to all the building fishmen.

"Long live the village chief! Mula quack! ”

……

The construction fish-people cheered loudly again, but unfortunately the vocabulary of these fish-people was too poor, and there were still a few sentences over and over again.

After another burst of cheers, Yang Yi asked the construction fishman who had worked hard for nearly ten days to return to the village to rest, and he stepped forward to observe the newly built sea oath altar.

The Level 1 Fish-Man Sea Oath Altar is very different in appearance from the usual Fish-Man buildings.

A row of wooden arches five or six meters high made of large square wooden blocks, connected to a large arc-shaped wooden array, underneath which is a flat stone paved ground. At the center of the curved wooden circle is an even larger stone supported by three irregular boulders, and the surface of the stone is as smooth as a knife and axe, which is the place where the sea oath sacrifice will be placed in the future.

"This sea oath altar is not badly built, much better than the simple buildings in the unified fish-man style in the fish-man village, at least it looks distinctive." Yang Yi was very satisfied after reading it.

"When the fishmen and Kokar centaurs in the village fought just now, they have completed the task of destroying the centaurs, and you can choose the reward and continue the lottery."

Yang Yi chose the [Beach Patrol Fishman Training Camp Construction Blueprint: Village Level 3] as the reward, and then he used the big disc to draw the lottery.

"What was drawn is the [Wharf Construction Drawing: Village Level 3], and the task is to leave the two Minotaurs behind......" Yang Yi couldn't help but want to curse when he looked at the tasks on the scroll, and the following task rewards didn't need to be looked at anymore.

Not to mention that Barn Bloodhoof is the son of the Minotaur chief Kane Bloodhoof on Thunder Cliff, if this is a prince in the human world, even if the Fishman Village Chief and the family become brothers, it is impossible to keep him.

"Let's go upgrade the dock, it's much more reliable." Yang Yi put the scroll away.

Yang Yi left the Sea Oath Altar, and he walked along the beach in the direction of the pier of Ratchet Village.

On the shore near the docks of Ratchet Village there are two buildings, one is a long-established Class 1 shipyard and the other has just been built, which is a water forging house for the village's water forging masters.

Now the buildings in Ratchet Village are slowly approaching the water.

Yang Yi stood at the door and looked inside as he passed by the shipyard, where a two-masted sailing ship was docked.

The brig was salvaged from the sea and sunk, and the Evilfin Fishman Monetov and two undead gnolls were repairing it in the shipyard with a group of fishmen.

Troll hunter Tarray and his pincer-billed turtle were also in the shipyard at this time, and the man and the beast were watching the busy fishmen and the two undead gnolls with interest.

In order to salvage the sinking ship of the Theramore humans from the deep sea, the fish-men of Ratchet Village have made great efforts. Yang Yi expected from the beginning that it would not be easy to salvage the wreck, but he did not expect that the actual situation would be much more difficult than he expected.

At first, Thorn Yang Yi took a slightly damaged three-masted galleon as a salvage target, but who knew that after spending a lot of energy, the fishmen of Ratchet Village still couldn't salvage the three-masted sailboat. So Yang Yi could only settle for the next best thing and chose a two-masted sailing ship that was not too badly damaged. It took nearly a month for the village to slowly tow the sunken two-masted sailing ship to the village's shipyard.

The people in the shipyard were busy, Yang Yi didn't go in to disturb them, he went to the water forging room in front.

This forge is a level 3 fish-man hut, the difference is that the hut of the forge stands on top of the sea, a plank platform is directly connected from the shore like a hut, and many long wooden piles are laid under the hut and the plank platform like a dock.

When Yang Yi came to the water forging room, he saw that Ka Gu Mo and a few small fishmen were studying something, they did not stay in the hut on the sea, but surrounded the shallow reef under the hut.

When he came to Ratchet Village, he was a fish-man beckoner, this fish-man likes to forge and has two specialties suitable for a water forger, "Forging Armor (C)" and "Water Elemental Affinity (C)", and after a few months of hard work, he finally became a Level 1 water forger.

The water forging method is different from the common fire forging technique, which relies on the impact of water pressure and water flow to change the shape of materials such as stones and metals. Spells that are proficient in water spells can be used to manipulate running water, build buildings or forge equipment from materials such as stone and metal.

Ka Goo Mo is now showing a few apprentices how to use the water forging method to forge a black stone that has been polished and processed on a reef that is exposed to the sea, his hands dancing and glowing white.

Kagomo channeled the sea with a spell, and the water formed a column of water that slammed into the surface of the black stone.

The jet of seawater constantly hits the black stone, and the part of the stone that is impacted slowly becomes smooth and compact at an imperceptible speed. It takes a long time to forge a stone equipment from water, and water forging is a technique that tests patience.

This time it was to show a few fish-man apprentices how to forge water, so it wasn't long before the water column dispersed, and the black stones on the reef were scrambling to be watched by several fishmen.

After demonstrating the water forging method, he found Yang Yi standing in the water forging room, and he climbed up to the platform along a wooden stake in the seawater.

"Village Chief, you're here. Kagomo hears that the fishmen in the village have defeated the centaur. Ka Gu Mo shouted happily.

"Yes, defeated the centaurs." Yang Yi nodded and said.

"It's great that Centaurs are a fierce race, and their forged bows and spears are great weapons."

"Yes, centaurs are powerful. In particular, their longbows were so powerful that many of the fishmen in the village lost their lives in this battle after being hit by the arrows of the centaurs. ”

"Village Chief, Ka Gomo has learned to make a mussel shell shield by using water forging, which may be able to help the fishmen in the village resist the attack of the centaur bow and arrow."

Running to the water forging room, he pulled out a mussel shield, which was about the same size as the standard shield used by the Theramore soldiers.

Yang Yi took the clam shell shield in his hand, and he found that this clam shell shield was not light, almost comparable to an iron shield of the same size.

"This mussel shell shield is forged from the shell of a hard-shelled mussel, right?" Yang Yi looked at the mussel shell shield and asked, he found that this side of the mussel shell shield forged by the water forging method basically still retained the original appearance of the hard-shelled mussel.

"Yes, village chief, this is indeed forged from the shells of hard-shelled mussels raised in the village farm."

"There are already several seashell farms in the village that have started to raise hard-shelled mussels, so there is enough material to make these mussel shell shields in large quantities."

Yang Yi took a look with the Lord's Eye and found that it was a level 1 ordinary quality shield.

"This clamshell shield is very good. How long will it take you to forge how many of these clamshell shields? Yang Yi asked immediately after looking at the clam shell shield.

"The village chief, because the hard-shelled mussels used are very strong in themselves, they can forge a mussel-shell shield like this in ten days by forging with water. The shell of a hard-shelled mussel is not a good material for water forging, and it would be better if you had a turtle shell, but it will take more time. Ka Goo replied.

There is now only one water forging master in the Ratchet Village, and the water forging master can use a useless sea mussel shell to forge a level 1 ordinary quality shield, which is already a great thing to turn waste into treasure.

The water satin method has an obvious disadvantage compared to traditional fire forging, that is, the water satin method is too time-consuming, and it takes ten days to forge a level 1 ordinary quality shield is too slow. In this way, it can only make more than 30 hard-shell mussel shields after a year of uninterrupted work.

Yang Yi nodded after listening to what he said, he knew that the advantage of the water forging method was that the materials were easy to obtain, but the water forging method was like water grinding, which required more time than ordinary forging.

"Click, there is a shortage of shields in the village now, and we must forge more of these mussel shell shields during this time. Also, you are currently the only water smith in the village, so you must teach these little fishman apprentices as soon as possible. Yang Yi explained.

"Don't worry, the village chief will definitely work hard." Clicker assured. (To be continued.) )
