Chapter 324: The Exile's Camp (2)
The apprentices in the blacksmith shop only watched Tyranal do a small part of the process, and knew that the little dwarven girl was not showing off her craft, and knew that her light was coming.
Which of these countries in the Deathfjords can have a dwarven master to guide the blacksmith craft?
For the blacksmiths, once they devote themselves to the work of blacksmithing, they almost have no sense of time, and the time soon came in the evening, and Merial had already arranged for the soldiers to send dinner to the blacksmith's shop, not only Meria herself, of course, but also Tyrannaar and these blacksmiths.
After the crucible was set up at home, Tyranal stopped his work and began to instruct the apprentices, according to Tyrana, he would basically not go out to forge weapons in person in the future, and the basic equipment supply of the army would be handed over to these local blacksmith apprentices.
Night was falling, but the blacksmith was brightly lit, and the flames in the blazing forge dispelled the darkness and cold of the night.
"You see, this is the first and only time I have shown the art of forging in front of you, and I hope you can understand it more. ”
Tyranal took off her shirt, and only a small vest was left on it, but Tylanal's body was like a young human girl, and the other blacksmiths did not have the slightest fluctuation in their eyes, staring closely at Tylanar standing in front of the foundry, their eyes unblinking, for fear of missing every detail.
Merial sat on the stool at the door of the blacksmith's shop, grabbing the pie and eating it slowly, as soon as Tylanar stood in front of the forge table, he felt that Tyranal seemed to have entered another realm, the casting hammer was originally a tool with considerable weight, but in Tyrana's hands, like a light child's toy, the wrought iron that had just been extracted from the crucible was placed on the forge table, and soon there was a clanging sound in front of the blacksmith's shop, and sparks splashed everywhere.
Tyranal was small in size, but the hammer was in her hand, and each blow was quite weighty, and the wrought iron slowly changed shape under the hammer, and when the iron had cooled, Tyranal picked up the iron and threw it into the forge.
As night fell, the temperature became colder and colder, and Merial couldn't help but be a little worried, as beads of sweat appeared on Tyranal's body, and it was easy to catch a cold under the cold wind. However, her forging action did not stop, and the wrought iron gradually changed its appearance, and Merial could tell it with the naked eye, it was the appearance of a standard saber.
As if seeing Meria's concern, Moses smiled and said, "Our dwarves are all very physically strong, and this bit of wind chill is nothing at all. ”
Soon, the prototype of a saber took shape in Tyranael's hands, and the apprentice on the side had already prepared cold water for cooling.
"It's done, it's sloppy, but it's a finished product. Tyranale wiped the sweat from her face and smiled.
"Good knives!"
Merial was amazed.
"A good knife indeed. ”
Moses also admired from the bottom of his heart.
There is nothing special about the appearance of this knife, and its advantages can only be shown by comparison. Meria went to the blacksmith's shop, took two scimitars hanging on the wall, and struck them against the saber, causing both scimitars to snap quickly, and the saber was still able to be used, although it was missing. Considering that this is the first batch of steel, which is not yet the purest, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in quality, Meria is already quite satisfied, and the troops of the Pro-Guard finally have weapons at their disposal.
For a long time, although the troops of the Pro-Guard Army had the armor of the Marasa Empire and were already quite good in terms of defense, they were still inferior in terms of offensive weapons.
In the past, when he was still in the Westheil Empire, he never looked down on the work of blacksmiths, who toiled hard for a day and made less money than a better shop. But in this year, in the wartime of the Fjord of Death, he could clearly feel the advantages of the blacksmith's trade, and there was no business or money more than the resources of war. The steel made from the crucible steelmaking is already quite pure, and the horizontal knives made from these steels are at the level of officer-level sabers at any time.
"All this, I hope everyone can keep it secret, I don't want the dwarven craft to spread to other lords, other countries, not even a little fur. Meria's expression suddenly became serious: "If someone leaks a secret, I don't mind letting him shut his mouth forever." ”
The blacksmiths immediately took an oath.
Later, the latest steel arrowheads were also created, and Merial asked Moses to bring a pair of hard leather armor that the soldiers were equipped with, and tested it himself, and found that the effect was very good. The arrow even shot directly through the armor, touching the fighting qi of the protective body he had formed inside the armor. If the Boer Leader's troops could be equipped with such arrows in large numbers, even if the enemy was wearing armor, it would still be able to disable them. For ordinary infantry leather armor, the saber just now can cut them off on the spot, and for this weapon forged by the dwarven craft, the protection of light armor is almost equal to zero.
This also means that if the steel forged from crucible steelmaking is fully used, the equipment of the Bol army will be greatly improved by a grade. Of course, the premise is that there is enough iron. This is easy to solve, and with the matching funds, there are enough minerals to smelt pig iron in the Eric Ridge to the west of the city. At Meria's behest, the Tyrannar Blacksmith became a designated production unit for the Boer Army's equipment, producing two types of weapons: sabers and arrowheads. In addition, Meria gave Tyrannar the style of the saber she had brought with him from Wishal, and asked him to create a prototype as soon as possible, which he was going to use to equip the Guards.
In addition, another sample of the long saber has been created, but it will not be needed for the time being. This saber was not used by the cavalry to chop on horses, but by the infantry against the cavalry, and in these countries of the Great Plains, these lords, almost all had cavalry. In the last fierce battle at the Rorschach Pass, because it was a positional battle, the cavalry did not play much of a role, but for his plan to conquer the Duchy of Noah, the cavalry had to be taken into account.
Merial considered the secrecy, and although the blacksmiths swore an oath, the temptation of the large amount of money brought by the forging technology made it possible for anyone to leak the secret. Merial also took strict measures to strictly separate the people who made the steel from the people who built it, and no one except Tyranal herself had the whole process and principles in mind, and the places where the steel was made and built were also strictly separated.
This large-scale production in two parts meant the need for more manpower and sufficient funds, both of which were settled with Meria's approval, and everything in the Boer territory began to develop in a healthy and normal direction.
......
"Why are there so many zombies, where all these things come from?"
Sefera kicked the ground so hard that the head of a zombie she had cut off instantly rolled on the beach and disappeared into the water not far away.
Although Jack is reluctant to stop moving forward here, he has solved six waves of zombies in a row, and the crew's physical strength has also been consumed a lot, so for the sake of safety, proper rest is also necessary.
At this time, Sylvie also shot for the first time, the light magic can not only treat wounds, but also have a certain effect of fatigue, Sylvie's ability is not reflected much in the battle, but at this time it is highlighted.
"Thank you. Jack gave Sylvie a thumbs up, but to him was a little strange that the maid, who didn't talk much, would look away as if she were dodging when she made eye contact with her, but when she stopped looking at her, the little girl would peek at her again.
This reaction even gave Jack a feeling of being crushed, but he didn't like this kind of thin little girl, not to mention, he left Wieshal and was still burdened with important tasks, so he was really not in the mood to fall in love.
The white wolf did not accept the treatment, but volunteered to find his way ahead, and as they progressed, the road on the beach gradually widened, and the mountain wall along the coastline gradually retracted inward, and according to Sefera, it was soon possible to enter the interior of the island.
There were no docks or harbors to the north of Bosliga, so there was no place to replenish food and water, but the supplies that everyone had brought with them were quite large, enough to support the team for a week.
The white wolf soon returned, but this time, he brought good news and bad news.
"Which one do you want to hear first?" said the white wolf in a rare joke.
"You'd better tell me the good news first, we're going to kill enough. Jack pouted.
"The good news is that I found traces of human activity in front, a human camp to be exact. ”
"Are you sure there are many people in the human camp?" Jack was surprised.
"It's a human camp, it's true. The white wolf said in a deep voice, "But they have formed a high wall with planks and stones, and they are on a high ground on the beach, but from the footsteps and voices from inside, I can tell that there are definitely quite a few people, at least more than fifty people." While I was observing the camp, I also saw a human with their heads peeking out of the wall, presumably looking at me as well. ”
"Fifty people! These are small villages, small tribes. One of the crew members was surprised: "Captain, didn't you say that there are no people here?"
"There are exceptions to everything. Sefera looked at the white wolf, "Then why didn't they come out?"
"That's the bad news for me, there's another batch of zombies in front of the camp door, about thirty of them, and among these zombies there is a big guy like a leader. The white wolf said in a deep voice: "This zombie is quite tall and strong, and he also carries a big axe on his back, and his speed is faster than that of other ordinary zombies, and his height is almost two meters." ”
Hearing the words of the white wolf, many of the crew fell silent.
If it's just thirty zombies, it's not so easy to deal with Enron, but be careful and spend a little more energy you can still solve it, but suddenly a zombie leader appeared, this guy's strength doesn't know how, but the two-meter-tall strong body is indeed a little scary.
"Maybe this guy isn't that agile. Sefera proposed, "Let's get rid of the little zombie first, and we're dealing with this big guy." In any case, we must go to this human camp, maybe they still have a clue to the princess. ”
"Then get ready to act. Jack stood up suddenly, "Mr. Ron, this battle is going to trouble you. ”
"It's not a problem, I'm just trying to help. Ron laughed.
The white wolf led the way at the front of the group, and a large corner appeared on the mountain wall and beach in front of them, and soon everyone saw the human camp that the white wolf mentioned.
There is a natural rocky plateau on the beach in front of it, this camp is built on the high ground, one side near the sea is a towering rock, and the other side is surrounded by a mountain wall, so as long as a high wall is built on the front, it has to be said that this is a very good camp, and in front of the high ground, people saw the group of active zombies.
"Wow, that's a big guy. Jack couldn't help but exclaim.
Ron couldn't help but secretly speak, this zombie leader is really tall, definitely more than two meters, and on his broad back is also carrying a rusty long-handled iron axe, the length of this axe is also close to two meters, it gives people a terrifying sense of oppression from a long distance, there are no zombies in the open space around him, and the other little zombies are all moving a little farther away, this big man is like the leader of zombies, and he also has a private territory.
After these battles, Ron had initially formed a tacit understanding with the people of this adventure team, and the crew members consciously dispersed, allowing Ron to come to the front of the team.
It's still a big fireball technique, but Ron didn't aim at the little zombies around him this time, because of the existence of the zombie leader, the activities of these "little brothers" are relatively scattered, and there is no dense standing like before. A huge fireball flew straight towards the zombie leader.
After a fireball technique, Ron did not pause, the seal on his hand changed, and immediately released a large range of phoenix fire magic, and the small fireball directly covered the area where the little zombies were active.
