Chapter 361: Intermission

The Legion of Death originating from Mount Ograni, in the direction of the soldiers, both humans and orcs were ruthlessly harvested, like the frost and snow of the early winter, covering the Duchy of Lotrun in a layer of silver makeup. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The main force of the Iron Tribe, which was ravaging in the Land of Ten Thousand Horses, had already returned with a full load, and more than 5,000 shepherd slaves who were willing to follow, as well as fat and strong cattle and sheep and other large livestock were abducted, totaling more than 28,000 heads.

In the Principality of Lotrun, where animal husbandry is extremely developed, even if the wealthy farmers are wealthy, the daily staple food is not roasted whole sheep and fatty steaks, but various dairy products such as cottage cheese and milk skins.

The sturdy head sheep will not move, and the ewes with young in the belly will not touch, they are the foundation of the flock, except for the traditional festival, will drag a few heads from the pen to slaughter, often also old, weak, sick and disabled individuals.

It is precisely this kind of artificial selection that indirectly selects the survival of the fittest, maintains the reproduction of herding populations, and maintains the healthy development of farms.

Of course, there are exceptions, first of all, when there is a shortage of forage for wintering, and a large number of livestock starve to death, or in winter, the climate is too cold, and the sheep in the open pen freeze to death in large areas.

It's a pity that this year's Duchy of Lotrun, due to the entry of the Iron Tribe, most farmers are plagued by the problems they were most worried about in previous years.

The long preparation for war delayed the best time for forage reserves, and the counter-current of the elemental tide caused the climate to be abnormal, not only did the winter come earlier than usual, but the cold wave of dripping water into ice had caused terrible natural disasters.

The marauding orcs spread their hands out, patted their butts and walked away, leaving behind a mess that no one wanted to take over.

The Heschet family had a bit of a conscience, taking over some of the bankrupt farms, squeezing a small reserve of forage out of their teeth, and most of the sheep were planned to be slaughtered except for the pregnant mothers.

In the invasion of the Iron Tribe, the orc herdsmen often rebelled voluntarily to lead the way, and the whole group was no longer credible, except for the tame old herdsmen, all the young and strong were relegated to the mines.

Patriarch Elma Heschet has reconciled with the Death Lords entrenched in the Ograni Mountains, sharing the same interests and preparing to build a coal-steel community and revive the weaker momentum of the Duchy of Lotrun.

In order to reward the Death Legion for not taking the opportunity to expand, and the area of the Grey Veil was limited to a certain range, the Heschet family, after internal discussions, decided to inform the Death Lord Salon, in the depths of the Misty Mountains of the Principality of Hittern, in the hidden location of the Valley of the Dragon Mound.

A very tempting bait!

Even though he knows that there is a malicious temptation hidden in it, he retreats to the secret realm of the forest and shares the unique talent of Vampire Countess Elena Heschet with the Reindeer King, trying to unravel the mystery of the New Age Rule Fragment.

As for the foundation of Ograni Mountain, it is back in the hands of Aldrich Triss's Death Knight clone, and he has mastered the development process of the undead version of the Industrial Revolution, and knows very well that unless the armored floating fleet is restored to the level of the floating city, the future air supremacy will definitely fall to the competition of fixed-wing aircraft.

Prior to this, he was more optimistic about small and medium-sized flying classes such as gargoyles and obsidian statues made of alchemy, especially the latter with excellent air retention ability, which had a wide range of uses.

"A dragon cemetery, bone dragons, zombie dragons, ghost dragons, frost dragons, there are many powerful troops that can be transformed and recruited, and perhaps in the future, if the conditions are sufficient, large flying vehicles such as dragon skeleton fighters can be made. ”

The heavily guarded Mount Ograni is the safest place to live, and once they leave their roots, who knows if the seemingly friendly Heschchet family will rise up and kill themselves.

As long as the benefits are big enough, no one is not bought, and the Death Knight does not want and is unwilling to test the other party's bottom line with his own life.

Even if he can be resurrected in the world of All Souls in the secret realm of the forest, as long as the main body Aldrich Tris is alive, the new clone will inherit all knowledge and emotions, but at that time he is still the death knight Salon?

"Emmony, Bloodflame!"

The dark wizard who stayed in the depths of the Great Mausoleum to make the high undead heard the sound of the call, and immediately turned into a gray and black smoke, and in an instant, he crossed the barrier of distance and came to the top of the ruined tower.

After regaining his original form, he keenly noticed that the dark lord sitting on the throne of skulls only had a death essence as deep as iron, but he did not dare to doubt it, and bowed his head obediently.

Faced with the men summoned by the Styx Ferryman from the distant land of bones, the Death Knight Salon, who had no desire to investigate, pointed out the kindness of the Heschet family.

Emmoni Bloodflame was immediately overwhelmed by the excitement, perhaps stimulated by the imminent possession of the Bone Dragon's subordinates, and his body continued to lean back, the rotten black silk robe taut and cracked, revealing the rotten body that seamlessly fused with the armor underneath.

"Your Highness, please allow me to leave the Paradise of Death and head to the Misty Mountains of the Duchy of Hitern to search for possible dragon tombs. ”

The Death Knight Sharon bowed slightly, "You've been allowed! Beware, High Elves of the Misty Mountains, they may get in the way. Before arriving at your destination, you try to tolerate it as much as possible, and allow you to let go of your hands and feet after completing your positioning. ”

The dark wizard was very aware of his limitations, and he no longer had any doubts about the change of the lord, and immediately took a few steps back to the edge of the tower, turned and flew away into smoke.

Passing through the Great Mausoleum, Emmoni Bloodflame took a clay pot from the altar in the depths, drove the two newly promoted tomb guards into quicksand and stationed, paused for a moment, and once again embarked on a journey that was not long.

Breaking away from the warm and pleasant gray curtain, the wind whipped up frost and snow, and flew for a while, and the spell source in his body was consumed at an astonishing rate.

The Dark Wizard then landed on the ground, into the knee-deep snow of the pile, and dove quickly or slowly towards his intended target.

Aldrich Triss's Death Knight clone began to try to be the gargoyle of the Undead Legion, this special flying force, using ordinary rocks in the world of All Souls' Day, not only took a long time to work, but also did not know the weight of the zombie stonemasons, produced a lot of defective products, until all the territory seen in the unified field of vision, and failed to officially form an army.

Coming to the ground of reality, near Mount Ograni, limestone, clay, gypsum are everywhere, and ready-made volcanic ash also has a thick deposit.

Drive the zombies to dig the kiln with their bare hands in the gentle foothills, first calcinate the limestone, obtain a large amount of quicklime, and use the grinding disc driven by the steam engine to completely crush it, as well as clay and gypsum. Then, according to the correct ratio in memory, mix the three and stir well.

Cement, that's it!

The gargoyle's mold was ready, and the body was modified to be flatter and flatter, taking into account the needs of aerodynamics.

The slender winged hands and forelimbs are framed by thumb-thick steel bars, and the powerful hind limbs and torso are made of hollow cages woven with thin wire.

When the cement is mixed with sand and gravel, and the ashes are mixed with water, slowly pour it into the groove of the mold to ensure that the mud does not pass the steel bar and barbed wire, and cover the other half of the mold shell.

The track-drawn steam mixer split into several tubes, aligned the three grout openings of the gargoyle mold, filled the voids inside, squeezed out the last trace of air until it overflowed, and then returned the tilted machine to its original position.

After a while, the reinforced concrete and gargoyles naturally dry and harden, remove the fastening bolts on the edge of the mold, and pour out the lifeless statue.

Gargoyles stood erected like a forest, with a total of more than fifty heads, and the number of test subjects in the trial was roughly that number.

It is then handed to the Goblin Artisan Zombie, where the runes of the pale alchemy system are carved into the surface, and the softened lead strips are inlaid in the grooves on the surface of the body.

The Death Knight personally guided the injection of negative energy to take on the dark silver gray mercury to charge the reinforced concrete and gargoyles.

During the period, it was inevitable that the quality of the cement was uneven, poof, bursting and sputtering, and inward collapse happened, but fortunately, the probability of success was good, and it was busy non-stop, and in the end, there were twenty-three reinforced concrete gargoyles successfully preserved.

Remove the Iron Claw Gloves of the Skeleton Legion and attach the gargoyle's bare claw feet, a pair of slender winged hands with only a steel skeleton, covered with cowhide that acts as a wing membrane and treated with negative energy.

"Rise! Test subject, flap your bat wings and fly into the sky of Mount Ograni. ”

With the order of the death knight Salon, twenty-three rejuvenated gargoyles clumsily flapped their wings, adjusted their left and right forelimb wings to the same frequency, and with the help of their strong and powerful hind limbs, they jumped up from the open ground at the foot of the mountain.

Unexpectedly, he flew to the mountainside, suddenly turned around and plunged to the ground, the momentum is getting faster and faster, and the next thing must be a failure.

"No!"

The embodiment of Aldrich Triss, not wanting his hard work to be wasted, summoned a cloud of heat out of thin air, setting off an updraft that could be called a storm.

Pushed by this help, the gargoyles, who were in a bad situation, continued to climb upward, this time they learned to stay above the twelve smelting furnaces, harnessing the churning heat, constantly soaring and hovering at low altitudes.

"For the record, the gargoyle's wing membrane has doubled, the heavy steel bars have been replaced with thick-walled steel pipes, and the superfluous ornamental horns of the head have been removed...... That's all for now. ”

The Headless Horseman Griffid, who had awakened from his long sleep, stood nearby, holding his head in his left hand and recording the instructions and instructions of His Highness the "Dark Lord" on his face with his right finger bone.

In forging a new path, we can tolerate setbacks and even failures, but we cannot tolerate stupid mistakes that are made again and again.

Keep modifying and adjusting until you are completely adapted, after all, the gargoyles with reinforced concrete physique are more indestructible than the traditional rock texture.

The slightest movement on Mount Ograni soon attracted the attention of the Hurschets, who had always been on the lookout, and the spies who had been stationed long after the Covenant had been concluded.

With his old cobweb-strewn mind, he didn't think of the prospect of reinforced concrete, but passed on his discovery, the alchemy-making gargoyles of the undead to occupy the sky, to Count Elena, who was in charge of the matter, through the secret art unique to the Heschecht family.

The countess, who attached great importance to the lord of death, believed that the expansion of the Ograni Hill was still within the scope of tolerance, and did not immediately tell the eldest brother, that is, the patriarch of the Heschet family, that the best time to contain it.

Two days later, nearly 500 new gargoyles flew in the ash of the gray curtain, landing on the nodes of the negative energy pools scattered all over the Ograni Mountains from time to time, replenishing the consumption while being modified and adjusted by the Goblin Artisan Zombies.

Although they are all cast in molds of the same shape, the unevenness of the cement and sand and gravel leads to differences in the specific gravity of the body, and no gargoyles are exactly the same.
