164 Elven History
Creating his own trade routes was on the list of Duke's plans, but there was no time to do it now, as the most urgent thing was to treat the wounded and resume production.
All the wounded soldiers were sent to Fort Storm's hospital for treatment, and the "doctors" and "nurses" who had not studied for a few months in the medical school were all pulled out to save people, because there were so many wounded that there were not enough doctors in Fort Storm.
Rather than letting these casualties lie down and wait to die, at least these medical students still have basic medical knowledge and can treat them, and as for how much they can be saved, they are left to fate, which is also the practice of the Middle Ages. Seriously, Stormcastle has reached the pinnacle of its time, almost as good as the Holy See's Light Magic Healing. Further, we can only wait until antibiotics come out to make a fundamental breakthrough in medical treatment.
At the same time, Bashir also submitted a re-customized development plan for City Hall, the most important of which was to change Duke's previous "Great Leap Forward" development plan, significantly reducing the target and becoming closer to the current situation of Storm Castle.
The first of these is the construction of Storm New City, which was planned to be at least a 100,000-strong city with walls no less than ten meters high, which is the basic standard for defending against ice demons. Now that the construction of the city wall has been temporarily suspended, except for the construction of residential buildings, everyone else has been transferred to spring ploughing, first of all, to ensure food security.
There is also the full restart of the hydroelectric plant, and due to the temporary slowdown in the construction of Storm New City, the blast furnace for burning cement is temporarily used to make steel, and the large-scale production of the Storm Armor has resumed. Because the loss of weapons and armor of the Storm Army in this battle is very large, and military strength is the foundation of Storm Fort, it must be guaranteed to be supplied first.
Although the plate armor has a variety of advantages, but the disadvantages are also very obvious, the most important point is that once the plate armor is damaged, it can basically not be repaired and can only be scrapped.
Because the plate armor is not like the general chain mail, it can be quickly repaired by replacing the armor alone, and if the plate armor is damaged and forcibly repaired, it will greatly damage the overall structure of the armor, which will greatly reduce the steel strength of the damaged parts, resulting in a decrease in defense power, and it is better to scrap it directly.
Therefore, if you don't have enough economic strength, you generally can't equip all of them with plate armor, especially some small lords. If it weren't for Duke's invention of the Hydraulic Hammer Forging Machine, it is estimated that the Storm Warrior would only be able to wear chain mail, and it may be difficult to equip chain armor, after all, armor pieces are not so simple to make.
The Storm Army has lost thousands of Storm Armor this time, and with the reserved backup, it will produce at least 2,000 Storm Armor, which is another huge production pressure for the hydroelectric factory.
Luckily, morale is high at Stormcastle, everyone is confident about the future, and productivity is amazing. All the resumption of production is proceeding in an orderly manner, and at this rate, it will only take a month or two, and all but the Storm Army should be able to return to its pre-war state.
Just when Duke could breathe a sigh of relief, Gandalf suddenly found him and brought the Fallen Elf female assassin he had assassinated earlier.
Seeing Gandalf's move, Duke knew that he must have something, so he put down what he was doing and looked at Gandalf, waiting for him to speak.
Sure enough, in the face of Duke's gaze, Gandalf didn't have any polite etiquette at all, and said directly: "Little guy, I'm going to leave Stormcastle for a while. ”
"Where are you going to leave Stormcastle?"
Duke hurriedly asked, although this time Gandalf did not launch any "magic missiles", but he interrupted the action of the jury's light magic, Duke saw in his eyes, Gandalf can be said to be the thickest thigh, the patron saint of Storm Castle, if this guy leaves, Duke is really a little panicked.
"Now should be the time when the Inquisition of Andorra la Vella is at its lax, so I plan to infiltrate the Inquisition dungeons and rescue Mirana's brother. ”
After saying that, Gandalf set his eyes on the elven female assassin next to him, and undoubtedly told Duke that Mirana was the name of the elven female assassin.
After Duke was assassinated by the elves last time, he had planned to ask Gandalf what the elf was all about, but when faced with the Holy See's investigation of the witches of Stormcastle, the matter was left behind.
Now Gandalf has brought Mirana here, and he will go to the Inquisition of Andorra City to save people, this is really not in line with Gandalf's character, could it be that there is any adultery between this female elf and Gandalf?
Thinking of this, Duke's eyes began to change when he looked at Gandalf, this old guy usually pretends to be serious, and he really didn't see that he hooked up with a fallen elf, and this taste is really a bit unique.
"Little one, don't use your vulgar thoughts to speculate about a great magus, Mirana's father was once my magic master and helped me through the gap between the high ranks and the mage, so I had to do it.
Seeing Gandalf see through his dirty thoughts, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Duke's face, but he was thick-skinned anyway, and Duke quickly pretended that nothing had happened and said, "I see, then what do you mean by the Moon-chasing royal family before?"
"Mirana and his brother have both experienced the royal family, and their surname is the Moon Chaser, so they are called the Moon Chaser Royal Family. But the elves also have another royal family, whose surname is the Sunchaser, and don't call it the Sunchaser royal family. ”
"Ten thousand years ago, they ruled the continent together, and they intermarried with each other, basically indistinguishing each other, so in the human records, many people don't know that in fact, elves also have two royal families. However, during the war of the five clans, there was a disagreement between the two royal families, and the royal clan yearned for light and peace, and chose to retreat to the Silver Moon Forest, giving up the hegemony of the mainland, also known as the Lord and the faction. ”
However, the Moon Chasing Royal Clan is opposed, and they are a firm main battle faction, they are unwilling to give up their supremacy on the continent and choose to join the battle of the five clans. Originally, the number of elves was small, but now they are divided into two factions and their troops are insufficient, so the elves led by the moon chasing royal clan cooperated with hell, and even gave up their belief in the god of life for the sake of great power, so they were called fallen elves. ”
Hearing Gandalf say this, Duke remembered that Hera had also said that the elves had fought between the two factions and the origin of the fallen elves, and now the combination with what Gandalf said could be regarded as a complete connection to the history of the elves.
