At first, Gawain chose to ask Byron for a weapon improvement plan, because he took a fancy to the middle-aged knight's mercenary experience in his early years.

Unlike the orthodox noble knights or mages, mercenaries usually do not have such perfect training conditions and good inheritance norms, but they have their own set of methods to make up for their shortcomings - rich combat experience and the ability to adapt to changes is their reliance on licking blood on the tip of the knife, a mercenary must understand a variety of combat environments, be familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of various weapons, and clearly know how to solve crises in various environments, so that they can survive for a long time - Byron fully satisfies this.

Knight Philip is indeed a powerful and gifted knight, but his knowledge is too dogmatic and old-fashioned, and in the face of Cecil's rapidly changing armaments and new combat concepts, he can guarantee that he will not fall behind, and it is probably more difficult for him to make any breakthrough ideas based on traditional weapons and equipment than to force Amber to go through the door......

The Byron Knight summed up the characteristics of Cecil's current combat troops and found a way to improve the melee equipment that the soldiers needed, both of which were attractive to Gawain.

"The mechanical sword scheme was inspired by the magic engines that are becoming more and more widely used in the current territory," Byron Knight began to explain his thoughts, "those engines are so powerful that even a professional knight in plate armor will be killed or disabled by the machine's wheel, so some rune craftsmen are considering using the power of the machine on the sword - they are considering adding a small repulsion mechanism to the hilt of the sword, using the repulsion mechanism to shake the blade or drive the jagged structure, so that they can easily tear through the enemy's armor."

"The Molten Sword scheme abandons the mechanics and continues to find its way through the effects of 'enchantment'. One of the rune craftsmen proposed to add an array of flame runes to the sword, using mana capacitors to power it, and these runes could make the blade reach an extremely high temperature - we could cast the blade with purple steel, which is very resistant to high temperatures. The steel heated with fire runes is no longer a magic effect, and the enemy's magic resistance is useless to it, while the extremely high temperature purple steel blade can easily destroy most of the conventional metal armor in the world, or cause great damage to more sophisticated magic robes and mage shields, and its damage is even more fatal to enemies without armor or light armor.

"Of course, the High Heat Blade may be slightly less effective at destroying than the machine-driven sawtooth, and it will be no match for the local tyrant enemies who cover their armor with Mithril and Adamantite - then again, if you do encounter armor made of Mithril and Adamantite, then the mechanical sword will be no problem......"

Gawain's mind was already flying around with chainsaw swords and plasma blades......

It took him a lot of effort to push back the fancy things that were popping around in his head, while maintaining the majesty of the Ancestor of the Coffin on his face, and after seriously thinking about the two options, he denied one of them: "The mechanical sword is not feasible. ”

"Uh...... We haven't discussed the results yet......" Byron was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Gawain to directly reject the seemingly most promising of the two extremely valuable plans so quickly, "Why do you think the mechanical sword is not feasible?" ”

"The mechanical structure is too complex, the stability is poor, the maintenance is difficult, the cost is high, it is not easy to mass production, and the repulsion mechanism at this stage still has relatively large mechanical vibration, which will affect the use of soldiers," Gao Wen shook his head and said, "Don't forget what I reminded you at the beginning: only weapons that can be mass-produced are good weapons, and this sentence must be added: equipment that can withstand harsh environments is good equipment." It's a pity that the mechanical sword is not satisfied with either of these points...... At least at this stage, our technology is not satisfied.

"Swords are meant to collide frequently with opponents' weapons or armor, and in continuous collisions, the gears and connecting rods in the hilt of the sword are prone to problems, and besides, the movable toothed structure means that it is more fragile and more prone to wear, even if we mass-produce this thing regardless of the cost, it will break the armor with a few casual saws on the battlefield, and what utility is there to speak of."

Byron was stunned for a moment, and finally realized the huge problem here: "Yes! I didn't expect ......."

However, Gawain didn't think this was Byron's problem - he was experienced, but when a new magic industry technology was mixed into a thing, his judgment would inevitably go wrong - he only saw the infinite power of the magic engine, how could he know how the precision parts of the machine worked.

To be honest, the rejection of the mechanical sword plan also made Gao Wen regret it - the chainsaw sword with steel teeth swirling with steel teeth turned the engine is a man's romance, but the industrial foundation at this stage really can't do this, and if you really make a man's romance and go to the battlefield, I'm afraid it will be overturned......

However, compared to the mechanical sword with obvious shortcomings, the idea of a melt cutting sword is very feasible.

It's not uncommon to use runes to heat things, and the reactor in the alchemy factory is now heating with fire-based runes, but ordinary fire-based rune heating devices can only create a high temperature of a few hundred degrees, far from the level of smelting metal, but Rebecca has been improving the fire-based magic circle recently-she is trying to simplify the common trap-type magic circle of "Hot Land" into a general rune group, and use the simplified rune group in the steel mill to change the status quo of still burning firewood and charcoal in the forge. It is said that it is close to success.

Presumably, it was only after learning the news that the rune craftsmen thought of using fire-based runes to create high-heat blades.

"Let's think more about melting swords, this is a good way," Gawain handed the drawings back to Byron, watched the other party put away the drawings, and suddenly asked casually, "By the way, I think the tentative weapon category in the plan is a one-handed sword?" ”

"Oh yes, one-handed sword," Byron nodded as he rolled up the blueprint, "Now that the soldiers have a force field shield installed in their magic terminals, this means that they have a shield available on the battlefield at all times, so the stance of one sword and one shield is the most useful in melee combat." Recently, Philip Knight has been training in this area. ”

Knight Philip, who had been watching curiously at Gawain and Byron studying the drawings and had not spoken for a long time, finally broke the silence at this time, and he nodded: "I'm asking soldiers to use force field shields and ordinary one-handed swords for combat training - force field shields have no weight, and they don't affect vision like ordinary shields, so the content of combat training must be reconsidered." ”

Gawain nodded in satisfaction when he heard this—once again, the Otherworldly took the initiative to discover the characteristics of the new technology, and it seemed that there were many things that he really didn't need to worry too much about......

At the same time, in the dark mountains on the southeastern side of the territory, a group of heavily armed Cecil combatants were patrolling the mountain road.

Under normal circumstances, there are no patrols in the depths of the Dark Mountains, on the one hand, there is not enough manpower, and on the other hand, it is very difficult to patrol the wild primeval mountain forests, and it is difficult to arrange sentry posts, so in addition to arranging a few fixed lookout posts to monitor the direction of the Gondor wasteland and prevent the aberrants from attacking the territory again, Gawain did not arrange more patrols in the mountains.

Recently, however, there have been several more patrol routes in the mountains.

This is because the Holm rough has already been mined.

With the help of Rebecca Crystal, even in winter, it does not affect the progress of the new mine, and the area where the rough Holm was found has now become an open-pit quarry, after several crystal collapses, a large area of rough ore veins were exposed, and a large number of miners and soldiers were sent to the newly opened open-pit quarry, they built a stronghold around the quarry, and in order to prevent the beasts and monsters in the mountains from threatening the mine, several new patrol routes were added around the mine.

Patrolling the Dark Mountains on this freezing day was a hard job, but the soldiers still walked their route diligently, wearing the recently finalized and mass-produced magic armor and equipped with general-purpose military magic guidance terminals, and they were fully absorbed and unslackened on the patrol road.

This is not only because Gawain's continuous promotion of "soldier ethics" has been deeply instilled in their minds, but also because the recruits of the combat corps are all selected from among the civilians, and even after enlistment, they have to carry out the construction of the territory as a construction corps.

They built their own territories with their own hands, they exchanged their labor and military exploits for their own houses and land, their relatives and friends were all laborers in the farmland, mines, and factories, whether it was their own interests, or the safety of their relatives, friends, and homeland land, were completely tied to whether they could perform their duties, which was completely different from other aristocratic private soldiers.

The patrol leader walked at the front of the group, vigilantly watching the movements on both sides of the mountain road, the mountain wind in the cold of winter was constantly blowing, but the cold did not affect his movements—the armor produced from the military factory had perfect protective magic, the breeze shield and heat insulation runes could help him resist the cold wind of the mountain, and the secondary cleansing magic solidified in the helmet allowed him to keep his mind sharp and focused during long patrols.

As a veteran who had survived the old Cecil Territory, he felt 120,000 satisfied and relieved about his current equipment.

"Be alert, prepare the force field shield," the captain turned back and reminded the soldiers behind him, "Be careful not to be attacked by monsters!" ”

Patrol in the dark mountains must always be careful, after the force field shield is distributed, the soldiers will "let the force field shield be on standby" as the basic rule, this is because there are always some monsters in the mountains that are not afraid of people or even have simple wisdom will pounce out and attack people, and once the reaction is not timely, there will be danger - a few days ago, there was an unlucky egg who was attacked and injured by a poisonous monster because he forgot to open the shield, if it weren't for the fact that Cecil's potion was worthless, ordinary soldiers carried several bottles of alchemy potions, That unlucky guy is long dead.

The soldiers under his command are good soldiers, but the captain, as a veteran, still can't help but remind them.

And just as the soldiers responded, a trace of vigilance suddenly crossed the patrol leader's heart.

This is around the ...... There is danger.
