Chapter 375: After March, the Edge of Dawn (10,600 words)
Li De attached great importance to the idea of self-destructing spiders, and immediately called the goblin patriarch Moore and the dwarven forge master Valen after leaving the place of bones.
Tell the two of them in detail about the idea of self-detonating spiders.
This bold and novel idea instantly aroused the interest of the two, and then they discussed it with him with great interest.
In the end, after the discussion of the three of them, it was decided to immediately start developing a self-detonating armor suitable for the death spider to wear.
Li De was also inspired in the discussion, and directly adjusted the death spider, which is suitable for the tactic of self-detonation.
After the adjustment, every 10 Death Spiders will be a squad, and each Death Spider Team will have a core Death Spider carrying an alchemy bomb, and the other spiders in the team will act as guardians, responsible for protecting the self-detonating spider from rushing into the enemy camp.
Because the cost of the alchemy bomb is not low, if all the people carry the alchemy bomb, not only will they not be able to achieve the most perfect effect, but it will also easily cause a huge waste.
It's better to gather the alchemy bombs and have one Death Spider carry them, with the other Death Spiders acting as protectors.
The advantage of this method is extremely obvious, that is, there is a greater chance of the self-detonating spider killing the enemy camp, after all, under the escort of 9 spiders, it is better than charging by yourself.
Of course, the disadvantages are not far from the advantages, once the death spider carrying the self-detonating armor is killed, the team has no strength to attack.
In order to make up for this shortcoming, Li De put forward higher requirements for self-explosive armor - it can be replaced on the battlefield, and it is even said that it is easy to replace.
In the unlikely event that a Death Spider carrying the self-detonating armor dies, the Alchemy Bomb can be transferred to the next Death Spider in a very short time.
This idea compensates for the shortcomings of having a core self-destructing spider, making the plan to self-destruct a spider fully implementable.
Under Li De's order, the goblin alchemy factory, the dwarven weapon factory, plus the Daybreak Academy, the Daybreak Mage Tower, and the Magic Industry Research Institute, these five top scientific research departments began to jointly develop self-explosive armor.
He needs to get the equipment he wants in the shortest possible time.
Not only the self-destructive armor of the Death Spider, but also the armor and weapons of the Centaur Heavy Warriors are also being studied and improved.
In addition, the Magic Industry Research Institute, which collaborated with the halfling to develop bows and arrows, has also stepped up its experiments, striving to develop the best bows and arrows in the shortest possible time.
Even in order to find a better bowstring and a harder bow body, even the bone dragon that had been promoted to level 19 was sent to the distant mountains and mountains to hunt high-level demonic beasts to obtain veins and minions.
Everything is done to make equipment that is strong enough.
Under Li De's will, the City of Dawn began to operate in a shocking rhythm, and everyone was working in one direction - to win Li De's satisfaction.
On 20 January, the first batch of improved Centaur armor was approved by Li De, and after it was produced, it was shipped directly from the weapons factory to the low hills.
Armed centaurs.
It is a complete set of 2,000 armor sets, which also includes a 3-bladed knight's spear, the head of which is forged from pure gold mixed with fine iron, and can pierce armor of the same level, which is extremely sharp.
And one thing in common is that the quality of these armor and weapons has all reached terrifying perfection ★, and this is the first time for the city of dawn to forge high-level equipment on such a large scale.
Even in the human world, the scene of 2,000 pieces of perfect-level equipment stacked together is enough to shock.
Every piece of high-level equipment requires expensive materials to forge it, and the behavior of the local tyrants in the City of Dawn, if it is known to outsiders, will definitely arouse the envy and jealousy of countless people.
What's more, this batch of armor has been improved by the dwarves, and it is the best in terms of flexibility, breathability, and defense.
In addition, when casting and forging this batch of armor, Valen did not hesitate to mix Mithril and Adamantite Gold, so that the attributes of all aspects of the equipment have been greatly improved, even better than those produced by the dwarves alone.
Extravagant.
The Iron Hoof tribe is like a treasure.
Although it was supported by Daybreak before, due to various reasons such as production costs, production quantities, etc., the armor worn by centaurs is basically of the rare level, and the armor of the rare level can only be worn by the elite, and the number does not exceed 10,000 sets.
Compared with before, it has now improved by more than a notch.
Of course, the previous equipment was not bad, enough for them to run rampant in the low hills.
However, the enemies you are facing now are different, and the equipment requirements you naturally need are also different.
Sam, the level 15 centaur chieftain, immediately redressed his elite troops, and then launched a campaign of conquest against the other tribes.
The 2000 up to 3 bladed, ★ perfectly equipped hoplites routed the 8000 warriors of that rival tribe with almost a single charge, and the opponent's primitive bone spear was not even qualified to leave a mark on the perfect ★ equipment.
Sam, who experienced the horror of improved equipment, immediately asked Li De to hope that the weapon factory could produce according to this type.
After receiving Sam's letter of great satisfaction, even going so far as to praise the equipment that it was useful, the dwarf almost burst into laughter to the back of his head.
Li De immediately asked the dwarves to light the fire and start production on a larger scale.
For a long time, the sound of weapon forging was transmitted from the Moonlight Plains to the Moonlight Square.
There was a sense of tension in the air.
At the same time, the rest of the town hall was not idle.
Under the mobilization of the Propaganda Department, all the residents knew that a big war was coming, and many enthusiastic residents spontaneously petitioned to work for the army for free.
Li De gladly allowed that, although the residents did not play a decisive role, it was a great thing to take the opportunity to unite people's hearts.
External contradictions are often the best way to divert internal contradictions, and when there is a foreign war, it is the time when the people of the whole city are at their most united, and it is necessary to use these major events to cultivate the cohesion of residents much stronger than usual.
The weapons factory is busy, and the other magical research departments are not idle.
Although the Daybreak Mage Tower has been stranded in the city of Rhysr due to the level 15 Shadow High Priest Amy, there has been no new person to manage it, but after several adjustments, the Daybreak Mage Tower has established a Spellcaster Association - 10 casters with more than level 10 are responsible for managing all aspects of the Daybreak Mage Tower.
The long-term run-in of the Spellcaster Association had no worse effect than when Amy was still there, and Li De also agreed to this method.
The current Daybreak Mage Tower not only controls the 9 mage towers known to the residents as the Rainbow Mage Tower, but also has a magic factory.
Thanks to Li De's emphasis on spellcasters, after several years of investment at any cost, the caster team in Dawnbreak City has reached nearly a thousand.
With enough talent in place, at least half of the production of the Crimson Mage's low-end magic scrolls has been transferred to Daybreak.
In response to this war, the Daybreak Magic Factory also began to produce magic scrolls in a targeted manner.
When dealing with cave spiders, Li De was able to let his subordinates have ten magic scrolls in their hands, and this war will definitely not leave the centaurs empty-handed.
Military orders are like mountains.
A large number of two-ring magic scrolls were produced and transported to the low hills as soon as possible, and the centaurs began to train how to use magic scrolls for use in warfare.

On January 30, the Magic Industry Research Institute improved and manufactured self-explosive armor that can be quickly equipped and replaced on the basis of the Air Force One series of bomb-carrying armor.
Moreover, this set of self-detonation armor is completely designed according to the size of the death spider, and it is extremely smooth.
At the same time, in order to increase the power of the self-detonation armor, the goblin has made certain adjustments and improvements to the size of the alchemy bomb, making it easier to control, and the power is also due to the fragility of the self-detonation armor, and the density and lethality of the shrapnel after the explosion have increased by 30%.
The final version of the self-detonating armor can be loaded with 6 alchemy bombs, all of which are universal, regardless of whether they are one, two, or three.
In order to ensure lethality, Li De ordered the self-detonating spiders to be divided into three levels,
The third level is all loaded with the second-ring alchemy bomb,
The second level is loaded with 4 second-ring alchemy bombs and two three-ring alchemy bombs.
The first tier is fully loaded with the Three-Ring Alchemy Bomb.
In this way, you can send out self-detonation spiders in a targeted manner, and use third-class self-detonation spiders when encountering ordinary enemies, and bombard them with first-class self-detonation spiders when encountering powerful enemies.
In order to increase the adaptability of the Death Spider to the self-detonating armor, Li De also trained these demonic beasts that were about to be pulled on to the enemy for burial in the Burial Ground.
After the death spiders, they can directly issue orders to all the death spiders, and this command integrated into the bloodline allows them to adapt to the self-detonating armor in a short time, and the training is very smooth.
10 Death Spiders form a squad, 9 cover, one executes the order, once the Death Spider wearing self-detonating armor dies, there is immediately Spider 2 to fill the position, and Spider 2 to kill 3 to fill the position.
As long as the death spider is still alive, there will be a fill-in, and even if a squad is all killed, the self-detonation armor has not been damaged, and the death spider of the next team will also make up for it.
Spare tires one after another, children and grandchildren are endless
After March, the number of death spiders will reach 90,000, and a squad of 10 heads, which is 9,000 squads, requires 9,000 self-detonating armor, and each self-detonating armor is equipped with 6 alchemy bombs, which is 54,000.
The sheer volume adds tremendous pressure to an already busy production line.
To this end, Li De urgently mobilized personnel, spent a week to build two new factories, and at the same time recruited 2,000 residents to participate in this production.
Strong execution guarantees the delivery date of self-explosive armor.

On February 10th, the weather was bitterly cold and the snow did not stop.
A huge surprise made Li Degujing's heartless lake fluctuate instantly.
The Halfling's Strongbow developed in collaboration with the Magical Industry Research Institute has finally been developed.
From the beginning of the cooperation between the two sides, it took more than three months, and finally bore heavy fruits.
The halfling already has a strong reserve of technology and talents in bows and arrows, and after coming to the City of Dawn, they have received endless material support, and the two sides are dry firewood.
After spending a lot of resources and failing thousands of times, the most powerful bow and arrow at this stage was finally developed.
Two-bladed and weighing 50 pounds, the ★ bowstring is made of magical materials cultivated with the power of faith and magic crystals, and is specially designed for centaurs, exaggerated to the point of resembling a siege crossbow.
Li De personally experimented that a strong bow with exclusive arrows could penetrate rare-level armor at a distance of 600 blades, and could shoot 300 blades even if it was attacking in the air.
Mass killer.
Previously, the range of the bow and arrow in Daybreak City was only 400 blades, and even ordinary level armor could not pierce beyond 400 blades.
There is a world of difference between the two.
Finally, this powerful bow with a range of up to 600 blades was named the Bow of Destiny by Li De, and on the eve of the Great War, its appearance was like a destiny destined by God, and it was also like what Li De was doing at this time - changing fate.
Although the Bow of Destiny still has some flaws that could be improved, this strong bow is enough to take Daybreak City's combat power to another level, which is of great significance.
The production of bows and arrows is not as good as weapons, bows and arrows require high production technology, weapons are different, as long as the materials are sufficient, even if the technology is a little worse, at most it is impossible to fully play the performance of the materials, and you can still get equipment of a high level.
But even if the bow and arrow are made of dragon tendons to make bowstrings, there is no technology to produce them are just garbage, the direct length ratio of the bow body and the bowstring, the hardness of the bow body and the elastic pull of the bowstring, etc., this is a complex technology, which requires rich technical reserves.
Thankfully, the halflings possess technical reserves that make up for the shortcomings of the City of Daybreak.
The birth of the Bow of Destiny reassured Li De.
While the Bow of Destiny is expensive, luckily most of the materials in Daybreak are self-sufficient, keeping production costs down.
After Li De had personally tested the power of the Bow of Destiny, he seemed to have faintly seen the rain of arrows covering the sky as tens of thousands of half-men pulled bows and arrows.
It was an absolutely breathtaking sight to behold, devastating.
But after the successful development of the Bow of Destiny, it was not all, and how to mass produce it became a difficult problem for Li De.
Just like the Alchemy Bomb, the Alchemy Bomb produced by the goblins will always be better and more powerful than the Alchemy Bomb produced by humans.
Halflings always produce better bows and arrows than humans.
However, only 300 halflings could not meet the 30,000 centaur archers waiting to be fed, and the number of them continued to increase as the Ironhoof tribe expanded rapidly
Li De had no choice but to find another way, and directly ordered the establishment of a bow and arrow production factory, first to produce the bowstring and bow body required for bow and arrow production, and then let the halfling person be responsible for assembly and debugging.
But Rao is so that the halfling is still too busy, because the final assembly and debugging of the bow and arrow takes too long, and the halfling needs to repair the problems that arise by himself.
In the end, Li De suddenly had an idea, since there is no way for human craftsmen to replace halflings in a short period of time, and Black Iron Castle has opened free trade with Dawn City, then why can't you hire halflings from Black Iron Castle?
As soon as he said he did, he sent messengers to the Black Iron Castle, along with a dozen or so halflings who had lived in the City of Dawn for three months.
Dylan, a second-generation bloodline stationed in Black Iron Castle, immediately began to act after receiving Li De's order.
The halflings were a little puzzled at first when they heard the news of the hire, but under the high remuneration and the appearance of more than a dozen halflings, they suddenly attracted more than 500 halflings.
No way, they give too much.
Dylan didn't dare to delay the military order, and immediately sent the 500 halflings back to Daybreak City in magic bats.
The whole process has only passed for two days, and the efficiency is invincible.
With 500 Halflings joining, the total number of Halflings reached 800 and immediately became the main force of the bow and arrow production factory.
2,000 human workers and apprentices are on the sidelines, and halflings play the leading role.
In a short period of time, the number of sheets produced was increased to 800 sheets per day, and this number will continue to increase as proficiency increases.
According to the schedule, it will definitely be possible to produce enough Bows of Destiny by mid-April, when the seal of Riesl City is completely unlocked.
Li De breathed a sigh of relief.
Although there was one thing that made him feel good, although the city of dawn was producing at full capacity, a very important problem began to emerge - the city of dawn was running out of money.
At the moment of the rearmament war, the weapons factories no longer sold weapons to the outside world, the magic factories no longer sold magic scrolls, the breweries even began to make medical alcohol, and all foreign trade stopped almost instantly.
The daily consumption of the City of Dawn, with a population of 150,000, is an astronomical amount, and with the unleashed production, the city hall has accumulated millions of gold Puk, but under this month's crazy consumption, this figure has decreased by 80%.
Now there are only 200,000 kimpuks left on the books of Daybreaker
A lot of the money was used in Greentown and other cities in the Southern Province to buy ores and magical materials for bows, arrows, armor, and more.
This terrifying speed of spending money made Li De's eyelids jump.
Once again, he realized how horrible it can be to raise an army.
Either way, the City of Dawn will do whatever it takes to do whatever it takes.
In order to solve the problem, he directly ordered the Dark Covenant, the Scarlet Mage Tower, and the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce, which has always maintained its economic semi-independence, to scrape together 1 million gold Puke in the shortest possible time.
Military orders are like mountains, and Li De's will is the direction in which everyone is heading.
The Dark Covenant immediately began the grey trade, the Crimson Mage Tower began selling its inventory of magic scrolls, and the Golden Wheat Merchant dumped his hoarded goods.
All are under command.
On February 20th, it was sunny, and although the weather was cold, it was no longer bitterly cold.
The amount of gold that can be used in the City of Dawn has reached 1.5 million, and the corresponding three forces, the Dark Covenant, the Scarlet Mage Tower, and the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce, have already sold out their inventory at this time, and Li De will not be able to make a second similar move in a short time.
But fortunately, after Li De's estimate, the 1.5 million gold Puke is enough to support the next half of the month's large-scale production.
After getting rich on his hands, he got another good piece of news.
The first batch of Daybreak Bats had been successfully cultivated, and 200 giant demonic beasts with a wingspan of 14 blades were flapping their wings and soaring through the skies of Daybreak City.
These beings are quite different from the magic bats, not only have they become more handsome in appearance, but more importantly, they have a faint fluorescence throughout their bodies, and they have a holy atmosphere, and their temperament has a huge deficit with the magic bats that symbolize darkness.
The birth of the Daybreak Bat corresponds to the fact that the power of faith on the Li De attribute panel has dropped to an extremely low level.
The landlord's old wealth has been squeezed dry again.
The 200 Daybreak Bats are all level 10, and even if everything else, a level of 10 is enough to make the Daybreak Bat a good force.
It's a pity that this war is a big war of hundreds of thousands, and the number of a few hundred can't determine the direction of the entire war.
The level 10 Daybreak Bat is not only larger, but also has a stronger body and strength, which makes Li De quite happy, and once again orders the busy dwarves to start designing armor for the Daybreak Bat.
The Air Force One series of bomb-carrying armor is only designed for bomb dropping, and has no protection capability.
Possessing great power, wearing only Air Force One bomb-loaded armor is undoubtedly too much of a waste of the rank of the Daybreaker Bat.
The dwarves who received the order gritted their teeth and pulled out a team of elite researchers even if they were busy, and began to work with goblins and humans to develop equipment for the Daybreak Bat.
Thanks to the abundant technical reserves of the bomb-carrying armor of the previous Space One series, a very practical armor - Destiny One was formed in just one week.
Li De also had to sigh that only in times of war can the potential of a city be truly forced, and it is impossible to get it out in two months without a single one in peacetime.
Now that Destiny One has been developed, the next step is to let the factory arrange production.
Fortunately, in addition to these 200 Daybreak bats, the number of more than 200 can be cultivated at most, and in the end, the total number of Daybreak bats is more than 500 days, otherwise the weapons factory that has been rotating continuously at dawn on the 24th may not be able to be busy.
In less than a week, 500 sets of Destiny One armor were piled up in the warehouses of the weapons factory.
The Daybreak Bat wearing the armor of Destiny One not only has the ability to mount alchemy bombs, but also the key parts of the body are tightly protected by the armor, and the defense and attack power have been greatly improved.
What's even more exaggerated is that the dwarf has a big brain, and has an aerial repeater under the neck of the Daybreak Bat, and the repeater can also carry 20 crossbow arrows.
This allows the Daybreaker Bat to have long-range air-to-air capabilities when bombing, and no longer needs to ride the Magic Knight behind its back like the Magic Word Bat, which greatly increases flexibility.
If it weren't for Li De's own witnesses of the process of this armor from refinement to final molding, he would not have believed that this was a product that only took a week to design and finalize.
Intrigued by the idea of attaching a repeater to the Daybreak Bat, he once again set his sights on the Death Spider.
What would happen if you fixed a repeater to these giant spiders with four blades and two blades high?
Spider self-propelled artillery?
This bold idea was immediately put into practice by him.
However, the results are not very good, as the Death Spider cannot control the repeater.
Daybreak bats can be due to their extreme control over their muscles, which can shoot crossbow arrows by touching a trap with their muscles.
On the contrary, the Death Spider only has a bunch of exoskeletons, which cannot be manipulated at all, and the Death Spider has a very low IQ, which cannot be compared to the Daybreak Bat.
In the end, this very good idea could only fail.
——

On March 1st, there was still more than a month to go until mid-April.
The cold of the winter moon has begun to subside, the snow and ice are melting, the dry trees on both sides of the streets of Dawn are beginning to sprout green leaves and buds, and cuckoos are flying up the branches with a crisp chirp
The planting season has arrived.
Today, a new news made Li De's already good mood even happier.
The armor and equipment of the Cyclops and the Two-Headed Ogre have entered mass production, and it is estimated that they will be produced in a week, based on the pace of production.
Currently, Daybreak City has 652 adult cyclops and 126 cubs, for a total of 778.
1,219 adult two-headed ogres and 351 cubs, for a total of 1,567 heads,
A total of 650 sets of Cyclops armor and 1,250 sets of two-headed ogre's armor were produced this time, for a total of 1,900 sets.
To be honest, forging weapons for these big guys was a very difficult task, so Li De directly sent 200 two-headed ogres and 300 Holy Light Bloods to assist.
Under normal conditions, the two-headed ogre is controlled by the head that can cast spells, and its intelligence is almost the same as that of an adult, only when it enters the combat state, the IQ is in the early tens, and the head in charge of fighting will control the body.
So in terms of construction, the two-headed ogre is actually more convenient to use than the cyclops.
Moreover, the biological characteristics of the two-headed ogre are also very suitable for captive breeding as a working class.
Their lifespan is very short - ogres reach adulthood at the age of 5, and they can reach level 5 at adulthood.
10 years old is the young adult level can reach level 9, 15 years old is the peak period with a high probability of breaking through level 10, 20 years old belongs to the elderly, there is a small probability of breaking through level 15.
At the age of 25, you have the opportunity to break through the extraordinary, if you don't break through, you will die, you can live up to 30 years old, if you break through, your lifespan will be extended to 40 years old, and if you reach the legendary lifespan, you can extend it to 100 years old.
In terms of growth, ogres completely exploded humans.
And the two-headed ogre also has a very good point, fertility - the two-headed ogre can give birth to two litters a year, the number of each litter is 4~6, that is to say, the ogre can reproduce about 10 cubs a year, and these cubs can continue to reproduce 10 per year after 5 years.
They expand faster than the Bloods.
Two-headed ogres have a very short time to grow because of their short lifespan.
As long as it is raised for five years, the City of Dawn will be able to have tens of thousands of adult two-headed ogres every year from the fifth year onwards.
Of course, the cost of such an operation is not small.
Raising tens of thousands of ogres requires at least 300,000 people to consume food, and the City of Dawn must have enough food reserves.
The horrific consumption of food is also an important factor in limiting the number of two-headed ogres.
Li De was also quite impressed by this kind of creatures that reproduce quickly and are easy to call, and formulated a three-year plan for them, allowing them to give birth within three years.
The City of Dawn will be even grander in the future, and he will need more labor.

On March 7th, Li De saw mountains of armor outside the weapons factory, just over a week before the mass production of giant armor.
In addition to the 500 Cyclops who were originally planned to stay, they were not assigned armor, and more than 1,200 two-headed ogres and hundreds of Cyclops received exclusive equipment according to their size.
The two-headed ogre's armor weighs 4 tons, and although it is smaller than the Cyclops, its armor is a little thicker than that of the Cyclops.
Because the two-headed ogre can cast magic to increase his weight and buff himself.
The thickest cuirass was two fists thick for an adult, and Li De had tested his defense, and even a crossbow in the air after being improved by the halfling man could only leave a groove on it, but could not break through the armor.
Even the twenty rounds of crossbow arrows can barely be pierced.
The terrifying defense made those halflings shout that it was impossible, and they all expressed extreme dissatisfaction.
Li De even saw the terrifying sight of these killing machines rampaging on the battlefield and slaughtering everything.
It's definitely an epic scene.
And that's not all that excites him.
Originally, Li De asked Nicole to devise a training giant so that these big men could train in a forbidden way.
At first, he didn't report any hope at all, he just gave this girl a chance to exercise.
But I didn't expect to be really made famous by Nicole, a girl.
Cyclops and two-headed ogres are very sensitive to sounds and breaths because they live in the mud swamp all year round and face crises all the time.
In response to this trait, Nicole specially designed a set of horns for them, and this kind of horn is not a normal horn, it is a horn made of magical plants cultivated by the power of faith.
Although the sound is flat when it blows, the Eyed Giant and the Two-Headed Ogre can easily catch it.
Nicole once experimented that even in the midst of dozens of horns at the same time, this unique sound could still be accurately received by the giants, and even magic shields could not hinder the transmission of this sound, which was extremely special.
Based on this, Nicole made a drastic reorganization of the giants.
The current Giant Legion takes the military horn as an order, and the order is forbidden, and the whole set of military horns is very perfect, with different lengths, and there are hundreds of instructions.
Li De was quite shocked when he saw Nicole blowing the trumpet and the giant army immediately attacked or retreated.
Even in the end, she can control the giant army to do all kinds of micro-manipulations, sieges, traps, local retreats, local coordinated attacks, and so on.
Most races are accustomed to using military horns in battle, but that is only limited to attacking or retreating, and it is the first time that Li De has seen such a spiritual military horn that can give such complex orders.
It's a much more convenient way to send messages than using magic on the battlefield, and even in the end he thinks about whether he can use a normal army.
It's a pity that only giants have such a keen ability to capture, and humans, bloods, and orcs can't hear this kind of command in the chaotic battlefield.
However, this also gave Li De some inspiration.
Giants are so sensitive to sound, so are there any other races that have this ability?
Or it can be for the Bloodline, or a horn can be developed specifically for humans to deliver commands
For this reason, he asked the Magic Industry Research Institute to file this matter and put it in the project to be studied in the future.
Maybe it will be of great use in the future.
The Legion of Giants is currently being trained under Nicole's command.
In near-combat training, Nicole showed extraordinary command ability.
Even if this girl has never been on the battlefield, as long as she blows the military horn, she can bring a turnaround to the troubled side every time, and even in the end, Li De seriously considers whether to let Nicole lead the giant army.
This girl is simply a natural general.

On March 15th, when there was no wind and the bitter winter began to subside, the snow and ice melted, the buds on the trees had sprouted, and the verdant leaves began to color the city of dawn again.
The Ironhoof Tribe has news today.
After more than two months of frantic expansion, the Centaur Legion has grown to 100,000, and that number is expected to grow to 120,000 in early April
60,000 centaur hoplites and 40,000 centaur archers were the entire composition of this legion.
Centaurs currently have only these two classes in their entire race
Centaurs once had more than a dozen classes to choose from, but with the collapse of the Centaur Empire, those ancient classes have disappeared in the long river of time.
During this period of time, in addition to the wind and waves of the Wind Empire near the sea, the Iron Hoof tribe is the most eye-catching.
Sam knew the urgency of the war against the city of Rhysr and began to send troops into a frenzy to annex the smaller tribes near the Ironhoof tribe.
Even if it weren't for the fact that it would take some time to completely integrate the conquered centaurs after defeating those small tribes, the number of the Ironhoof tribe's army would now exceed 150,000.
Soldiers are expensive but not too expensive.
Li De very much recognized Sam's strategy, high-speed expansion, a large number of troops is a good thing, but if the quality is uneven, morale is low, training is insufficient, and cooperation is insufficient, such an army will not have much effect.
Maintain a qualitative expansion, this is Lide's order to Sam.
With Frey on their side, the Ironhoof tribe is doing a great job of this.

On March 20th, in the evening, the weather was cool and rainless.
More than 5,000 magical bats took off from Daybreak under the cover of night, and unlike in the past, they all carried a death spider behind them.
Many Death Spiders are also wearing dark armor, and if you look closely, you can see that the armor on the abdomen has six points slightly raised, but it is very hidden, and it is impossible to tell what the Death Spider is carrying.
Self-detonating armor.
This is a big killer weapon that is enough to destroy the enemy, and it is also one of Li De's killer features this time.
Because of the long distance and the large number of death spiders, Li De had to transport the death spiders that had been loaded with self-detonating armor to the low hills in advance.
The current number of dead spiders is close to 80,000, and he expects to increase the number by another 10,000 by the start of the war, reaching his original estimate of 90,000.
The 5,000 Magic Whispering Bats could only make two round-trips a night, and it took 8 days to transport all the dead spiders to the low hills.
After the Death Spider was delivered, the troop movement did not stop.
The Giant Legion, which numbered nearly 1,400, with the assistance of the Blood Mage, also successfully landed on the low hills.
The Ironhoof tribe, who had prepared in advance, had already carved out a huge area as a temporary habitat for this army, a deep forest rarely seen in low hills, and tall trees perfectly hid this huge army.
——
——
——
On March 30, the temperature was rising, most of the residents had taken off their cotton clothes, and the wheat, which had been dormant for a winter, began to sprout and grow rapidly.
At this time, the army of Daybreak City had been deployed, and all kinds of weapons and equipment had been transported to the low hills.
Li De did not stop the layout at this time, but directly sent Frey to the fish-man tribe to discuss, and asked the other party to find an island for Daybreak City where the giant army and the death spider could be placed.
As a precaution, after this war is over, he is not going to let the Giant Legion and the Death Spider return to Daybreak City immediately, but first go to the Lost Sea.
The Death Spiders may be wiped out, but the Giants will definitely survive the next few of them.
Overseas islands will be the habitat of these armies, where they will hide until the threat is lifted.
This is the last hand.
The Blue Star Tribe, as allies of Daybreaker, had already established a strong relationship after two years of trading, and the fishmen happily promised to cede a rich island in their hands to Daybreak, and sent tens of thousands of deep-sea fish monsters to guard it.
Even the fishmen of the Blue Star Tribe asked if they needed to send troops for support
In the transaction between the two sides, although Daybreak City has gained huge benefits, the weapons specially developed by the weapon factory for the fish-people have also expanded the territory of the Blue Star Tribe several times, and it can be said that the harvest is no less than that of Daybreak City.
The current Blue Star Tribe has more than 2 million deep-sea fish monsters, firmly controlling the coastline near the low hills, and can be called the regional overlord.
Fishmen have no fundamental conflict of interest with the Bloodline, and no matter how powerful the Fishmen are, they are not suitable for survival on land, let alone pose a threat to the City of Dawn in the deep mountains and mountains.
In the same way, no matter how strong the blood clan is, it is impossible to soak in the sea every day, and it is basically harmless to the fishmen, so both sides are at ease with each other.
After receiving an affirmative reply from the Fishmen, Li Dewan declined the Fishmen's offer to send troops, only to ask them to help the Dawnbreaker Army when they were being pursued by the enemy.
This kind of easy request was readily patted on the chest and agreed.
At this point, Li De left a way back for this desperate army.

On April 5th, the weather was sunny and warm, and the residents of Dawn City put on their winter clothes, and the large fields of wheat that were blooming made the Moonlight Plains covered with a green carpet and full of life.
The high-speed machine of Daybreak finally slowed down.
As of today, all the tasks set by Li De have been completed.
The alchemy factory produced 100,000 second-ring alchemy bombs and 5,000 third-ring alchemy bombs, all of which have been distributed to the relevant armies.
The Daybreak Church cultivates 500 Daybreak bats, all of which are level 10, and wears a full set of Destiny One armor, which can not only drop bombs for bombing, but also can be used for air-to-air long-range sniping because it is equipped with an aerial repeater.
The magic factory produced a total of 150,000 magic scrolls in the second ring in three months, and with the inventory, a total of 300,000 magic scrolls were equipped for the army, but because of this, the inventory of magic materials in the warehouse that took two years to build was almost exhausted.
In addition to the above factories, the busiest is the weapons factory.
During this time, the weapons factory expanded five production workshops, and the number of people involved in production increased fivefold from 3,000 to 15,000, and it was a three-shift rush work around the clock.
Among them, 120,000 sets of centaur equipment were produced, and they were also equipped with weapons such as riding spears and long-handled battle axes.
Produce improved Bows of Destiny - 60,000 pieces, and countless arrows exclusive to the Bow of Destiny.
1900 sets of giant armor,
500 sets of Daybreak Bat's armor,
9,000 sets of Death Spider self-detonating armor,
2,000 improved repeaters, each equipped with 100 arrows.
Li De's expression was also a little complicated when he got these detailed data.
It's hard to imagine that the City of Dawn, once a blank slate, has had such terrifying power in less than four years.
These three and a half years of hard work have not been in vain.
This city, which belongs to him, has finally grown.
But as the amount of equipment was produced, the inventory that Daybreak had accumulated for a long time was reduced to zero.
There are only 150,000 gold puks left on the books of the town hall, and the treasury where the magic crystals are stored is even cleaner than the face.
The magic materials have also been reduced to the limit, and 8 of the 10 warehouses that were once established have been emptied, leaving two alone waiting for Lin Xing.
The stock of steel was reduced to zero, and there were 10 pounds of Mithril ore left, and there was no pure gold left
All the alchemy bombs were carried to the low hills, and the warehouses were empty.
All the materials have been transformed into equipment to improve the combat effectiveness of the army.
Li De pressed all the chips in his hand this time.
If it is not broken, Loulan will not be returned.
However, when he saw the 120,000 centaur legions dressed in rare ★★★, perfect ★ level equipment, they were neatly leading the team and waiting for him to review.
The sense of accomplishment in my heart is simply indescribable.
In addition, there are 90,000 massive death spiders, thousands of giant legions, and 500 Daybreak bats, all of whom will fight to the last drop of blood for his will.
This is an army of more than 200,000 people.
The sword has been revealed, the horn of war has been whined, and what awaits is the moment when the city of Risr will break the seal.
