Chapter 396: Ductile Iron
Inside the conference room of the main shrine of the goddess of the earth.
Bishop Kellock said to the three clergymen in front of him, "Your Majesty, two ladies, please be seated. ”
"Your Excellency, I came this time to reflect some situation to the temple, during the daytime battle, our team found some abnormal things, these things need to be reported to you in time. After Mia sat down, she didn't deliberately talk about the weather or some new and strange topics as a guide to the atmosphere of the meeting.
Instead, he went straight to the point, talking to the bishop about the problems that arose in today's battle against demons.
"Your Majesty, please speak. Bishop Kellock straightened his back, sat upright, and used body language to express the solemnity of what he had said to Mia.
"During the day, we suffered fewer casualties, and the demons did not break through our defenses, but in the demon's attack, we found that there were succubi, there were demon hunting spiders, and the succubus wanted to command the demons to form an attack formation to attack our defense.
This problem needs to be treated carefully by the temple, although the demons are from the chaos camp, but tens of millions of years of bloody war experience have also given them some formations suitable for the chaos camp to charge, I hope the temple can pay attention to it.
In addition, there was a Demon Hunting Spider today, although it did not attack our defense line, I don't know if the demon deliberately did this or if he wanted to gather multiple Demon Hunting Spiders to attack my defense line at once, but if they did do this, they would definitely not be able to prevent the Demon Hunting Spider with the strength and level of the guards on the other side of the moat. ”
Mia briefly recounted the battle by the moat during the day, telling the bishop about the problems found in the battle.
"Demon Hunting Spider?" the bishop's face was a little ugly, and a mid-level demon appeared on the first day. This will have a great impact on the morale of the future battles.
"I didn't say it, it's a demon hunting spider. Maybe there will be high-level demons such as berserker demons tomorrow, and if the war drags on. What will happen to the demons after they are replenished by the civilians of the outer city, I think the bishop will also have some guesses in his mind. Mia nodded, and made her concerns clear to the Bishop.
When the bishop heard Mia's words, he imagined what the demons would do after they got tens of thousands of civilians, and his whole body shuddered, not to mention killing these inhabitants and using their corpses to hatch demon eggs. How many demons can be hatched? Even if it is tens of thousands of cowardly demons, it will take a long time to kill people while standing still.
Not to mention the gathering of tens of thousands of demons, it would attract the attention of the Abyss Will, and even directly pollute the entire royal capital.
Mia looked at the bishop's clenched fists, knowing that he had imagined the consequences, so she opened her mouth and continued: "Today is the first day, and the people who come to attack our defense line are basically low-level demons, in order to stop them. And to prevent high-level demons from mixing in to attack our defenses, the soldiers on the front line basically use long-range powerless attacks to stop the demons.
As a result, the arrows prepared before were consumed too quickly, so I hope that the temple can replenish some arrows for the front-line warriors, and ordinary arrows will do. ”
"Your Majesty. You are also considered to be my own person, if outsiders beg me to support the arrows like this, I will smash the pot and sell iron will give some of it. But I'll be honest with you, in the last war that repelled the invasion of demons. Some of the temple's daily war consumables were consumed too much, and they couldn't be replenished much after the war ended. So now......" Bishop Kellock said, shaking his head, very sincerely.
Mia believes in the bishop's statement, which is because of her confidence in her own identity and trust in the reputation and credibility of the Church of the Earth Goddess.
Mia turned to look at Molly, then turned back to the bishop and said, "We're here to solve this problem. ”
Callock looked at Molly curiously and said in surprise, "I wonder how the Baroness solved this problem?"
Molly nodded with a smile, stood up from her chair, and after signaling to the bishop, she took out a bundle of arrows from her space container: "Your Excellency, I can provide more than 100,000 such arrows." ”
"How much?!" the bishop couldn't help but stand up, this news frightened him, you must know that after the last war, the temple's own arrow reserves were only a little more than 20,000, and today alone has consumed more than a thousand, and this does not include the arrows brought by the soldiers, if you count it, there must be two or three thousand arrows.
Molly came to a table where no one was sitting, opened the straw rope that bound the arrows, and arranged them one by one, before nodding to Kellock and saying, "Not only the arrows, but also some other equipment, I have in stock, and Your Excellency Bishop can come and see how we work." ”
The bishop took two steps forward, came to the table, and picked up the arrows that had been arranged in order, round shafts, neat feathers, and gray arrows, all of which showed that it was a well-made arrow.
"This, this is a steel arrow?" the bishop looked at the gray-white metallic arrow, and was surprised to ask Molly for confirmation.
Molly hesitated, but nodded.
She was a little weak-hearted, this is the recipe provided by Ades, it is directly cast from molten iron, and dozens of thick arrowheads can be made in one pouring, and it is still an iron fan, which can be reused.
Then the water-powered machine tool was used to polish the edge, and with the arrow shafts and arrow feathers transported from the town next to the river, a few skilled workers could make hundreds of zuò in a day.
If the demand increases, Molly can organize dozens or even hundreds of skilled blacksmiths to make zuò at any time, and 100,000 arrows sounds like a lot, but in fact, it is only a few days' work.
The most important thing is that the hardness of the iron arrowhead is not inferior to that of the arrowhead made of stainless steel, but in terms of price, the difference is great.
You know, a bundle of twenty ordinary iron arrows only costs one gold coin, while the same number of arrows of refined steel costs seven gold coins, a difference of seven times.
Both in appearance and performance, the material provided by Adès is similar to real steel, and iron products can be sold for the price of steel products, which is why Molly is weak.
"This is the goods that we rushed out after receiving the conscription order, so they may not be as good as the steel zuò arrows in terms of reuse, but the other properties are average, and if the temple is purchased, I can reduce the price a little, which can be regarded as our contribution to this demon invasion." Molly's expression was calm, and she gushed endlessly, if Anna and Mia didn't know, they really believed her words.
"To buy, with these arrows, you can attack the demon wantonly when defending, not limited by the insufficient number of consumables, I don't know the price......" The bishop is also a little weak-hearted, since the demon war, the price of weapons here in the royal capital has increased several times, and the price of these 100,000 arrows is not low.
"A bundle, fifteen gold coins......" Molly's smile curled up as the demons in the outer city. (To be continued......)
