Chapter 22: The Underpants Traverser (16)
Even if the warehouse was discovered after the invasion of the enemy, the outside would have to pass through an iron fence made of two steel pipes the size of a baby's arm.
And the two small fixed-bed crossbows inside can make the enemies who try to rush in and send them to death from the outside, and there are so many corpses that they can block the passage.
The biggest advantage of building a treasury here is that it can carry city defense materials to the outer walls of the town in time.
Unlike some salted fish barons who shrank into their castles when they encountered a large number of bandits and asked for help from the nobles, David Lu was indeed very careful in protecting the safety of the people, after all, allowing the hard-working towns outside to be looted would immediately bring his economic development process back to its original shape.
The inside of the warehouse was not cold, and the air was filled with the smell of slaked lime, which was used to prevent moths and insects, dry and a little dull.
Although Garcia didn't waste money on the thick rock walls and ask some wizards or priests to keep the air in the warehouse dry, it was a good measure.
After all, those materials such as metal copper and iron spear heads, maple mulberry wood for making wooden bow bodies, and animal tendons for bowstrings are all afraid of being eaten by damp insects.
All the ordnance and military postures were mostly packed in wooden boxes, neatly and orderly stacked in rows in the corners of the walls.
Chen Xuyuan casually opened a few crates, which were filled with standard swords and spears coated with anti-rust oil and with a strong smell of heavy metal, as well as arrows wrapped in turf pointing upwards, and also filled a quarter of the warehouse space, roughly counting every 50 trapped, there were more than 12,000 arrows, enough for the hundreds of hunters in the city who turned into militia semi-professional archers for a long time.
"It's enough to fight a small offensive and defensive battle that lasts all summer~ However, I don't know how to prepare other strategic weapons and spell tools?" Master Chen patted the small amount of lime on his hand and turned his head to "Baron Garcia" and asked.
"I have stored spell scrolls worth more than 8,000 gold coins, but they are all stored in the inner vault of the castle, most of them are [Greasy Technique], [Strength of Group Ox], [Tenacity of Group Bear], [Increase Spell Resistance], and a few [Wind Creation] and [Cloud Mist Technique], which can basically directly improve the collective combat effectiveness and survivability of soldiers. There are also three well-preserved [Lida Magic Cannons] purchased from overseas powers. ”
As he spoke, the excited baron raised his chin slightly, signaling his attendants to lift the few pieces of gray-black linen that had been covered.
A peculiar dark piano lacquer luster shimmered from the Mithril-plated barrel of the door, which was less than a meter high and decorated with magical beast carvings, and a fierce aura attracted everyone's attention.
It's really good to look at it.
Unlike the artillery in the previous life, this [magic cannon] has a strange saucer-shaped tray behind it, which is actually used to inject mana as propulsion, as well as artificially control the core hub of magic spells with a delay in firing.
When Master Chen turned his inquiring and puzzled gaze to Baron Garcia, he immediately understood the meaning of the other party's gaze.
"These [magic cannons] are capable of firing two types of ammunition, one is a custom-made spell cannonball, which carries a variety of large-range spells triggered remotely, but the price is too expensive. A shot is at least 1,000 gold coins or more. I only purchased 5 rounds of [Wide Area Stinky Cloud] and 2 rounds of normal [Dead Cloud Technique] shells, which are characterized by being triggered by throwing spells three or four meters away. However, even without spell cannonballs, this [magic cannon] can also fire solid iron balls and iron balls. The range and lethality are very good!"
In fact.
Lu David's patient and detailed explanation is naturally to improve his confidence as a foreign-aided wizard, after all, even if he plays tricks and leaves people behind, if the other party does not work, it will be in vain.
Other questions asked by Chen Xuyuan.
Garcia was also very enthusiastic to introduce him one by one, and patted his chest and said: "Although these ordnance is not very high-end goods, there are many of them. As long as it is used in a reasonable combination, it can still defeat those enemies who come to attack. ”
Master Chen smiled and stroked the runic patterns on the [Magic Cannon] without saying a word, feeling the constant spell energy aura emanating from it.
Garcia saw that he seemed to be interested in the magic rune on this [magic cannon], so he quickly said: "If the master is interested in these [magic cannons], then you can also study how to use them at any time, and when the enemy comes to attack, I will let people push them to the city wall." After all, this thing is very precious, and it can't stand the wind and sun. ”
Master Chen smiled, the meaning of the other party's words was very clear, that is, you don't need money for research anyway, but don't spoil it for me.
And Master Chen is also a reasonable person, if he really wants to take other people's remuneration and benefits, then he will not easily pat his ass and leave, and he is also very interested in this suspected "traverser" colleague.
He hesitated at first, not wanting to really get into the muddy water.
But at present, the pursuers have not been found to be chasing, and they might as well repair here for half a month, after all, no one will think that it will be a comfortable enjoyment to be in the company of beasts and insects in the snowy wasteland for more than half a month.
Moreover, the magic technology on this [magic cannon] is just related to one of his technical difficulties: even if an ordinary spell tries its best to stabilize the spell structure, the plastic energy spell released is at most 150~180 meters away from the sky.
But the magic technology is actually not a simple cannonball propulsion technology, it contains the skills to stabilize the structure of the spell! If you can project some spell combinations to an extremely long distance, similar to using the [Secret Eye] to detect the enemy's situation one kilometer away, and then use the [Detection Technique] to accurately locate the enemy, and then use the ultra-long-range plastic energy spell to strike?
Isn't that the same as the tactics of satellite precise positioning and missile decapitation strike?
I can only beat you, but you can't hit me!
This is the essence of modern high-tech warfare!
Master Chen thought to himself for a while: I haven't been back for several years, I don't know how the old friends of the Karui tribe in the mountains are doing? The town also had two or three stories of thick stone walls, as well as a large number of supplies and ordnance. It's not difficult to hold on for a while and wait for rescue, it's better to help him for the time being, I really can't win, whether it's hiding in his castle to delay time, or taking a few people to surprise and leave, it's not small.
So he pointed to Baron Garcia and said, "Then I will stay and assist you in defending for a while." I'll talk to the others later, and I'll give you a definitive answer tomorrow. ”
