Volume 1: Moondusk Chapter 8: Another Srian
At this time, inside Mossburg
When these more than 500 blood-soaked warriors staggered into Mosburg under the leadership of Srian, Yi Tian personally came to the city to greet them. When Sruian fought in a bloody battle just now, Yi Tian's heart was extremely nervous, and his whole body was ready to go, as long as he saw Srian in crisis, he would definitely not hesitate to lead the soldiers to the rescue, he didn't care about any rules or regulations.
And now that Srian has returned triumphantly, he Yi Tian is happier than anyone else, when he saw the blood-stained Srian in the robe, Yi Tian really had mixed feelings, when he was most helpless, it was he who stood up, it was he who won back a trace of face for the entire Granton Kingdom, he was a real hero!
"Si Ruian, thank you!" Yi Tian said to Si Ruian with emotion! This is Yi Tian's first war, and in front of Yi Tian, who is at a disadvantage under any conditions, it is he! It is Si Ruian who defends the dignity of his country with blood and sweat, and also helps Yi Tian win the first victory in his life.
.........................................................
After a series of celebrations, the soldiers returned to their posts, and Mossburg calmed down.
At this time, Yi Tian and Si Ruian sat face to face in the general headquarters, not for anything else, but for Si Ruian.
"Sriyan, you surprised us so much today, I thought you were as powerless as I am, but after today's incident, I really understand what it means to be a blockbuster, you are too strong, right! Tell me where you learned this martial art?"
"Don't worry, here's the thing: I only joined the Purple Mandarin Legion when I was eighteen years old, and nothing happened in the first month, I was as ordinary as most of the soldiers in the Purple Mandarin Legion, but in the second month after I joined the Purple Mandarin Legion, it happened. Do you know the treasures of our legion?"
Srian made a sudden sharp turn that made Yi Tian not react, but he immediately understood, "Yes, my dad mentioned to me that it was a piece of armor, it seems to be called 'Deep Blue Armor', right?"
"Yes! This is the armor that changed me completely. Srian said mysteriously.
"A piece of armor can completely transform you, I don't believe it. ”
"Of course, this armor isn't that godly, but it's not that simple. ”
"Are you talking about the theft of the Purple Mandarin Legion's treasure 'Deep Blue Armor'!"
"Exactly, that day happened to be my patrol of the city, at first nothing abnormal everything was very calm, but just as I patrolled the city to the north of the city, I suddenly saw a black shadow on the north tower, he was extremely fast and disappeared in an instant, when I looked at it again, the black shadow had fled to the northwest, I looked at the black shadow and thought it was a fugitive, so I chased it, after all, my duty is to patrol the city, if I don't chase, I am afraid of being scolded by my boss, so I have been chasing the black shadow all the way to the northwest, but I have not even found a trace of the black shadow. You know that the northwestern part of Purple Mandarin City is the Endless Desert, and if you don't have all the preparations, it is impossible for ordinary people to enter rashly, and I don't have the courage, so I gave up tracking and prepared to return to the city, after all, it was close to midnight, and the time for the shift change was approaching, in case someone found out that I left my post without permission, even if I went to chase the fugitives, I would be punished by military regulations, so I wanted to rush back to Purple Mandarin City as soon as possible, but when I was about to arrive in Purple Mandarin City, I found the black shadow again.................."
"I'll interrupt you later, where did you come across that shadow?"
"It seems that I met less than ten miles away from Purple Mandarin City, and I remember that it seemed to be a very low hillside. ”
"Okay! ”
"I didn't rush when I found this shadow, because I knew what I could do, and since he could easily get rid of me, even if I did, I would probably die, so I waited and saw what happened, and I wanted to find an opportunity to call the patrol troops. It wasn't long before I suddenly noticed another person on the hillside, it was Humpty Dumpty, it seemed that he was not young, probably forty or fifty years old, and the black shadow didn't say anything to the fat man, but just handed over an item to the Humpty Dumpty, and then Humpty Dumpty turned around and left. Because I didn't know that the treasure of the town army was stolen at the time, I didn't look at it carefully, and now that I think about it, I really regret it, if only I had taken a closer look at it at the time. After that, I was going to sneak away, because I thought the black shadow was probably about to leave, after all, this place was too close to Purple Mandarin City. At this moment, a strange thing happened, and the black shadow suddenly said a word!"
"What?" Yi Tian shrugged as soon as he heard this, and in his heart he had already put the story that Srian told him into the category of horror.
"Sriyan, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Srian said as calmly as he could, but he couldn't hide his trill.
"Then, go on.................." Yi Tian was completely speechless, and he was now more and more sure that Srian was telling horror stories.
"Huhu............... At first, I was as shocked as you are, and even my body seemed to be frozen at that time, and I couldn't move. As I watched the shadow get closer and closer, and the horror in my heart grew, I almost felt as if I was going to die, and my mind was in turmoil. ”
"That'...... What did that dark shadow do to you?"
"I thought he was going to kill someone, but the shadow didn't, it just stunned me, and then I didn't know anything. ”
"And where did you wake up?" asked Yi Tian continued.
"It was on a small island, but I searched the whole island and found not a single figure, and when I returned to the room where I woke up, I found an old man in the house, and I could tell at a glance that he was the dark shadow. ”
"Didn't you say there was no one on the island?"
"Who knows how that person managed to avoid my eyes, in fact, at that time, as long as a person who knew a little martial arts deliberately concealed his breath, I couldn't find them. ”
"Who is that old man, what did he do to you?" Yi Tian suddenly felt like he was interrogating.
"That's what I asked him, and he only said three words to me: 'Greed of the Night'. ”
"'Night's Greed', it's impossible! 'Night Greed' has lived alone on the Night Radiance Island for fifty years and has never left the island for half a step, how could he make an exception for an ordinary piece of armor? Do you know how many artifact-level items have been placed in front of his eyes in the past fifty years, just begging him to make an exception to go out of the island, but he has not been moved by any exception, although the world calls him 'Night Greed', but he is not greedy at all!"
"You were wrong this time, he did leave the island for this 'Deep Blue Armor', and as far as I can find out later, he confiscated a penny this time, and it was completely a free labor. ”
"Looks like that Humpty Dumpty has two hits!
"And then, of course, it was very ordinary, and Night Greed took me as an apprentice in disguise, and the devil trained me day and night until two years later, and he let me go back and threatened me not to tell anyone else about this place. ”
"Wait!What do you mean by disguised apprenticeship?" Yi Tianchu was puzzled when he heard the word.
"Actually, it's very simple, the master said to me that if you want to get out of the island, you will defeat me first! ”
"You're stupid, this island is so big, you won't find an uneasy entrance to the sea and escape secretly!"
"It's easy for you to think, I've tried this method more than a dozen times, and every time I was caught by the master, I was tortured once when I went back, so I tried it a dozen times and then I completely gave up, and I practiced on the island steadily. ”
"Then you can defeat Night's Greed after just two years of practice!"
Si Ruian shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile, "After more than two years of practice, I can finally hold on to his hands for half an hour." ”
"I said you're too much, you've been practicing for nothing for two years!" Yi Tian was out of breath when he heard it, he could only last half an hour after two years of practice, how many years of practice could he defeat him.
"That's good! Do you know that at the beginning of the two of us? It was really a move to defeat the enemy, I didn't get close to the master, I was bounced away by the master's body protection fighting spirit, and the master and his old man didn't use a move and a half to easily knock me to the ground, and in the following year I was like this, every time I fought was blocked by his body protection fighting energy, bounced to the ground. ”
"Okay, okay, don't be too upset, I ask you, why are you so good now!"
"Am I good? I'm just using what I've been practicing with my master for the past two years, nothing!" asked Sriyan, confused.
"What?" Yi Tian was about to go crazy when he heard this, a guy who didn't know anything about martial arts could be so powerful in two years, if he practiced for a few more decades, he wouldn't be a sword god!
"What! is there a problem?" asked Srian when he saw Yi Tian looking frenzied.
"It's nothing, it's just a little depressing. Okay, then tell me about the secret weapon you used in the battle just now!" Yi Tian immediately put another question in his heart when he saw it.
"Arrows!
"Is it really an ordinary arrow? You know, it is impossible for an ordinary arrow to hurt an orc. Yi Tian said with a puzzled expression.
"Actually, it's really an ordinary arrow, but I changed the original arrow to a different material. ”
"What material can break through the skin as thick as a half-orc?" asked Yi Tian, puzzled.
"Pulp steel is a steel material buried deep in the ground, and its toughness and sharpness are dozens of times that of ordinary steel, even if it is the phantom steel of the church. ”
"Really, what is its origin and production?" When Yi Tian heard Sriyan's answer, his heart was really ecstatic, think about it comparable to the Holy See's phantom steel, how tempting it is! You must know that there is no material on this continent that can be compared with the Holy See's phantom steel, and just now Srian personally said the marrow steel, although he doesn't know its specific properties very well, but just looking at its lethality on the battlefield can kill half-orcs in an instant, it is enough for Yi Tian to go crazy!
"I've only identified one of its origins so far, and the production is very small, estimated to be only about five or six tons a year, and it can't be overmined. ”
"Where?"
"A hundred miles away from the royal capital, on the outskirts of the city of Camore. ”
"And how lethal is it?"
"It can be said that as long as the orcs don't wear anything protective, I'm sure to shoot them through, of course, I'm referring to the orc race with a single defense below the half-orc. However, even the half-orcs, one of the most defensive races among the orcs, as long as they run out of fighting energy or only use a small amount of fighting energy to protect their bodies, I think as long as they hit their vital point, they can be fatal with one arrow!"
"You mean to say that this steel arrow can kill ordinary orcs in an instant. ”
"Of course, as long as you have the ability of a standard shooter, you can. ”
"Then how much stock do we have?" Yi Tian was moved, but even if it were any other person, he would be moved if he knew that such a powerful weapon existed.
"If we add the recycled ones, we should still have 300,000 in stock. ”
"Why are there so few?" Yi Tian frowned slightly, the number of these steel arrows was too small, even if it was only given to the most elite archers, there would be less than two per person.
"I said, Lord Commander-in-Chief, do you know how much manpower and material resources it takes to make this arrow? Just refining this marrow steel will waste a lot of raw materials, not to mention refining them into arrowheads, 300,000 is already a lot, don't compare it with ordinary arrows, they are different!" Si Ruian was obviously anxious, just to make these 300,000 arrows, he used three full years, and this was still the result of the full support of the Moon Emperor.
"Although there are still 100,000 more than 100,000 orcs to deal with 200,000 orcs with these 300,000 arrows in actual combat, it is estimated that these 300,000 arrows are far from enough, and they can only shoot 100,000 orcs at most, which is already the limit, so it seems that the rest can only use human sea tactics, but this is too cruel! Yi Tian was about to collapse, and when facing a strong army, he knew how important it was to have a strong army, but the reality was often cruel, although there were 600,000 troops, but the real combat effectiveness was estimated to be less than one-sixth.
Srian didn't feel good when he saw Yi Tian's appearance, but he didn't have any good ideas, so he could only comfort Yi Tian.
"Yi Tian, don't blame yourself too much, there is no battle in the world that cannot be won, as long as your belief remains unchanged, you will naturally win, not to mention that you are not in an absolutely disadvantageous situation. As long as you can hold on and fight the orcs, they will definitely withdraw before you. ”
"Really, can I?" Yi Tian finally showed an expression that matched his real age, after all, it was really too cruel to let a boy who was not yet fifteen years old take on such a heavy responsibility alone.
"Look into my eyes, you can do it, you can overcome it all, because you are Nast Ray Etian!" said Srian solemnly as he looked at the dazed and ignorant Etian.
"I can do it, I can do it, I ......... I, I'm not .................." Looking at Srian's clear eyes, Yi Tian gradually got rid of his confusion, "I'm not a coward, I'm the commander of the three armies, I can, I can!" Yi Tian stood up.
"Yes, that's it! You have to be confident in yourself!"
Orc camp
"I'm so angry! Mo Da is an idiot, how can he not even beat a human in battle, fortunately he died in battle, otherwise I would not have spared him!" The third prince was really angry, he never dreamed that his orc army would lose to a motley army that had been put together.
"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, please calm your anger! I don't know if Your Highness can listen to it?" Kukunstan said indifferently, obviously he was not surprised by the fact that the orcs were defeated, after all, they had been isolated from the world in the Forest of Warcraft for hundreds of years, and it was only a matter of time before they were defeated by humans.
"Teacher, please speak!" Moonflame Beamon clearly had a great respect for the teacher, and he was able to quickly control his emotions even when he was extremely angry.
"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, what do you think is the real reason why our five thousand and a half orcs were defeated in this battle?"
"Combat disadvantage?"
The old prophet shook his head.
"Formation error?"
The old prophet still shook his head.
"Is it ...............?"
"Yes, it's the arrows, and the problem is in the arrows. After the war, I sent some of these arrows back to study, and according to my research, they were far tougher and sharper than ordinary bows and arrows, and I thought that a good archer could shoot through the thick skin of the orcs. ”
"No wonder hundreds of orcs died at the hands of such arrows in the first wave of the human counteroffensive. Then what should we do, then we will be in trouble!" said the third prince worriedly.
"I don't think so, as far as I can see, this arrow that can shoot through orcs is made of a special steel material, and this steel material is no worse than the Holy See's phantom steel in terms of toughness and sharpness, and even surpasses phantom steel in some aspects. ”
"So powerful, then aren't we going to lose?" The third prince has learned the power of the Holy See's phantom steel.
"That's one of the flaws they have to lose. ”
"Why? They have such powerful weapons and they outnumber us, how can they lose?"
"If I'm not mistaken, this is probably their secret weapon, and they were exposed early in the war, leaving them without a weapon to rely on when it comes to a critical moment. But we can learn the lessons of this fiasco, and the next time the adversary uses this weapon, I am sure that we can reduce the army's casualties by sixty percent. ”
"Really, do you have any way to crack it?"
"This weapon is powerful but not difficult to crack, its most important part is the arrow, and as far as I can see, their archers are clever but they don't use the true power of this arrow, I think if you let our warriors open the Fighting Qi barrier when they charge, we can resist it. ”
"But then they'll slow down!" the Third Prince still didn't fully understand what Kukunstan meant.
"Isn't there anyone in our army who can resist arrows and keep the speed constant?" Kukunstan asked rhetorically.
Speaking of these three princes, they suddenly looked like they suddenly realized, "Yes, as long as I let them destroy the city wall quickly, then they will be turtles in the urn on the plain, and victory will be within reach." ”
"The third prince is really smart!"
....................................
At the same time, Mossburg
The whole of Mosburg had now been completely calm, not because of the darkness of the night, but because of the fear that had followed the ecstasy that had befallen everyone here again.
"Commander-in-chief, tomorrow we are afraid that we will be more auspicious. Someone finally broke the silence, but the man's words deepened everyone's fear.
"We must go all out tomorrow, and if we can't survive tomorrow, then the whole Granton will be finished!" Yi Tian Huoran stood up and said resolutely in front of his generals.
