Chapter 25: The Siege Crossbow
The storm caused by Reizer's attitude towards the artisans quickly swept through the entire Welsh territory, and almost all the artisans came to Roester City after learning of the existence of the artisan department.
Lei Zhe naturally paid attention to this phenomenon in real time, and yesterday Robier showed him the craftsman assessment system listed during this time, Lei Zhe didn't know much about these things, so he looked at them casually and taught them all to Robier to deal with by himself.
may not have gotten used to his identity, but the new baron still has some inferiority in his bones.
"Invitations have been sent. ”
"Well, the banquet is going on in my manor, and you can save a little if you need to save it. ”
"Yes. Adolf wiped the sweat on his forehead, saving too much would make people look down on Lei Zhe, the earl, I really don't understand the idea of the lord in front of him.
"Your Excellency. ”
"Colmar, do you have any experience hunting magical beasts?"
"Huh?"
"Surprised what, haven't you killed a Warcraft?"
"No, it's not, I used to earn commissions by hunting Warcraft when I was in the mercenary group, but why did you suddenly dare to be interested in Warcraft?" Komar looked at Lei Zhe strangely, hunting Warcraft is an extremely dangerous thing.
It's all about tying your head to your belt, and you don't know what could go wrong.
"I'm not interested in that thing, isn't it profitable to hunt monsters?"
A black line looked at the earl in front of him, hunting Warcraft does make money, but that's just for those mercenaries, it's already a blessing to have two gold coins for desperately hunting a second-order Warcraft, but can Lei Zhe see two gold coins?
Obviously, it's impossible to see it.
"My lord, if you hunt a demonic beast, it is actually not that profitable, and the leather and magic energy crystal nucleus of a third-order demonic beast can only be sold for five hundred gold coins. ”
"I'll rub it, five hundred is not much?"
"My lord, do you know how many people it takes to kill a third-order demonic beast?"
"How much?"
"At least four fourth-order knights, and a fourth-level knight who is not afraid of life and death has a chance to kill a third-order demonic beast, of course, that refers to the condition that the other party does not run away. ”
"All the knights of the Wells family are all going hunting, and the third-order demonic beasts shouldn't be taken seriously, right?"
"Well, that's not going to ......"
"That's it, anyway, these knights are idle at home, and sooner or later they will lose their blood and combat effectiveness, you can arrange that half of the men will stay in Rost, and the other part will go hunting in the Moore Forest near the territory. ”
"Got it......"
"Of course, I'm not going to be bored with cutting my own forces, have you heard of bows and arrows?"
"My lord, I know the bow and arrow. ”
"You know?" Lei Zhe was stunned, thinking that this thing didn't know, anyway, didn't the Holy Empire have no archers?
"Well, the Silver Moon Archers of the Elven Kingdom are very famous in the Hill Continent, but the Holy Empire has magicians, and those archers are not enough for long-range magicians. Colmar said proudly.
"So you say there are no archers left in the Holy Empire?"
"My lord, of course the Holy Empire does not have archers, so weak combat power...... I don't know what they can do. ”
"Weak?" looked at Colmar suspiciously, archers are a very strong profession in the game, how can there be such a thing as weak?
"Well, in the early days of the Holy Empire, I did plan to train a group of archers, but human archers are not like elven archers, their bows and arrows are magic arrows, which can easily penetrate the armor of knights. ”
"But human archers don't have that ability, and often can't even wear the flesh and skin of knights, if they really put themselves into the battlefield, for other countries, it's at most a battlefield massage......"
"Battlefield Massage ......" was a little dumbfounded, this was not the same as imagined, but thinking of the kind of combat power of the fourth-level knight, Lei Zhe paused, and the knight's fighting spirit seemed to be able to really do this.
It's not that the archers are weak, but the knights and warriors are too strong, and the strength of the bow is limited, maybe it is lethal to ordinary people, but it is really like a massage for the truly strong.
"I guess I've never heard of a crossbow. ”
"Crossbow?"
"Sure enough, haven't you heard of it, yes, bows and arrows have no history of development, and crossbows naturally can't appear, but ordinary crossbows are just a little stronger than bows and arrows, siege crossbows...... "Such a thing suddenly appeared in my mind.
Sounding the sound of breaking wind, stone pillar-like arrows, Lei Zhe swallowed his saliva, no matter how strong these people are, it is impossible to block the siege crossbow......
"Adolf, go get Rober. ”
Adolf nodded and left the study, which had unwittingly become a place commanded by Reich, and the council chamber was deserted.
"My lord, what is a crossbow?"
"A weapon stronger than a bow, by the way, how much strength is needed to hurt you. ”
"Uh......" Colmar really didn't know how to answer that question.
"Haven't you been injured?"
"If you are specific, it is estimated that the one that can hurt me is the more aggressive fourth-level magic. ”
"Level 4 magic, like?"
"Flame Technique, I've occasionally seen a fire mage cast this kind of magic, which can easily penetrate two houses, and the residual residual warmth is also terrifying, that kind of magic should be able to penetrate my fighting qi defenses and hurt me in the true sense. Thinking back to that time, Colmar replied in the affirmative.
"Two houses, let alone eight walls, should you be so exaggerated...... "Although there are no steel and concrete in the current house structure, one magic can penetrate eight sides, and the magician's arrogance really makes people feel a little incomprehensible.
"Forget it, let's try to do it first. Shaking his head, Lei Zhe began to draw on the drawings, the knowledge he had learned before did not come in handy in real life, and he didn't expect it to be useful in this backward era.
The construction of the battering crossbow is not cumbersome, but the enlarged version of the crossbow has been slightly modified, and of course, the power of the battering crossbow is inseparable from the construction materials.
Soon a short drawing was made, and Colmar, who was on the side, looked at the product strangely, some like a carriage with three wheels.
"Your Excellency. ”
"Come in, Robier, can all the craftsmen of the United Craftsman Department make this thing?"
"I'll see. Robier didn't say anything directly, took Lei Zhe's drawings and looked at them carefully, and then nodded affirmatively.
"Can you do it?"
"Well, this thing is not difficult from a structural point of view, and it can be made with their craftsmanship, but can you tell me what this thing is used for?"
