242. Armed Dragons and Beauty Mercenary Regiment

Powerful weapons and sturdy armor are one of the most valued things for any warrior. And the more experienced the warrior, the stronger the desire for a weapon at hand, a fine piece of armor.

For mercenaries who have to participate in battles frequently, and even in some cases even exceed the intensity, density and complexity of the regular army, a good weapon is likely to mean that you can break through the armor in one blow, kill the enemy, and seize the opportunity in battle. A good piece of armor is an important factor in determining whether you can survive after being hit by a cold arrow from the shadows.

As a result, the most expensive possessions of many mercenaries are simply the armor they wear and the weapons they use. This phenomenon is most common among some large mercenary groups and veteran mercenaries. Because only by saving one's life can it be possible to continue to earn income.

For the young mercenaries of the Dragon and Beauty Mercenary Group, in the previous hunting missions, they were fully aware of the flaws of the weapons in their hands.

As a mercenary group with no economic foundation and completely formed by a group of young people with hot heads, the Dragon and Beauty Mercenary Group can't even do the alchemy of all the main weapons of the personnel.

Many of the weapons in their hands were just ordinary ironwood weapons, without any alchemy treatment, let alone magic attached.

As for the armor, they only had the most ordinary lizard skin armor. In fact, it is made by the team members themselves, and the simple and unsightly sleeveless leather shoulders sewn with heavy ground lizard skin are not only ugly, but also very worrisome, although they can still play a good role in protecting the minions of wild beasts, but if they are facing a powerful weapon such as an alchemy crossbow, this kind of leather armor can only bring psychological comfort.

In order to make up for this deficiency and improve the mercenary group's ability to protect against weapons such as bows and arrows, Rogge specially prepared a batch of large shields made of hard ironwood for the strong warriors in the regiment to use. However, this is only a reluctant way to deal with it, the large shields are extremely heavy, and with them, it is basically impossible for the warriors to react quickly, and they can only be beaten passively.

The best defense is offense, in order to enhance the ability of the dragon and beauty mercenary group to fight against the enemy's projection weapons, Rogge specially configured archers in his mercenary group, and made his most trusted Durex as the leader of the archers, who was responsible for using the bow and arrow in his hand to confront and suppress the enemy's projection weapons under the cover of his companion's big shield.

It's just that, just like the rest of the Dragon and Beauty Mercenary Regiment, the entire archer team has a total of four girls, including Durex, but they don't even have an alchemy crossbow in their hands. Fortunately, Coronia is the best material for making bows, so the big bows in their hands are barely considered sharp weapons, and as for arrows, only the most common ironwood arrows are more common. Those alchemy arrows that cost hundreds of tokens each, each person only has four or five, and they are still used as the last treasure, and they are reluctant to use them until the critical moment. It's not that the girls are reluctant to buy a few, it's just because the number is limited, and the merchants are reluctant to sell at a higher price, so they can only buy a small amount.

The most valuable and only piece of magic in the Dragon and Beauty Mercenary Regiment is the gray half-body armor worn by the leader Rogge. Although this armor may look inconspicuous, it is a fairly sturdy thick scale armor, made of the strongest scales on the back of the earth lizard, and after the hard work of the armor builders and enchanters, it has been transformed into a magical armor with life protection spells attached. The Life Protection Spell, which makes the blessed person completely immune to all negative energy damage, is a very useful spell. This armor can be said to be one of the equipment specially prepared for Rogge's trip to the White Tower.

It's just that even this armor was bought by the Dragon and Beauty Mercenary Group at a high price through a middleman on Seven Colors Street after receiving a down payment from Richard the Cripple. This armor alone cost Rogge thirty-five thousand tokens.

This is entirely due to the fact that in Coronia, with the exception of the aforementioned eight historic families, including the Koren family, and the elusive brotherhood, the production of magic equipment and alchemy equipment is basically monopolized by the Alchemist Guild.

The Alchemist's Guild produces a large number of magical and alchemical items every year, but they are basically not sold on the market. A considerable number of these magical and alchemical items were ordered by various noble families (including martial nobles, from earls to knights). Moreover, the aristocracy, as a privileged class, has the right of first refusal to purchase all magic items and alchemy items.

Even if they don't buy them, the Alchemist Guild will pack the excess magic items and alchemy items and hand them over to the Void Fleet for foreign trade activities. Because of the chaos of the Business Alliance and the Kregan Empire in the multiverse, many places have lost the ability to produce large quantities of magical or alchemical items locally due to the prolonged war. And the demands of war make their demand for all kinds of equipment like a gluttonous mouth that can never be filled.

In such places, the value of all kinds of magical equipment far exceeds its value, and many forces and individuals will even spend their last penny to arm themselves in order to survive the brutal war.

This leads to the fact that in Coronia, although the total number of magic items and alchemy items is actually very large, and more magic items and alchemy items are made every year than the previous year, except for the royal family and the big nobles who always fill their treasury and arm all kinds of armies and private soldiers to the teeth, and the small and medium-sized nobles also keep a large number of various magic and alchemy items at home, it is difficult for the rest of the people to see any magic and alchemy items related to war on the market, even if there is a small amount of outflow, because it is completely in the seller's market, the price has become extremely high。

"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road. This Tang poem, which is used to describe the gap between the rich and the poor, can fully reflect the gap between the nobles and commoners of the Kingdom of Coronia in terms of equipment level.

The weapons and equipment that Esther brought out to arm the dragon and the mercenary group were not the ones he had obtained from the Duke of Pervas's mansion. The level of those things is too high for the average level of the Dragon and Beauty Mercenary Group, and all of them are the best of the best, and even most of them are creations from Orff, Valentine and other countries.

These pieces of equipment are all made by famous artists, and each one has a name and a surname. Although they have always been in the collection of the Duke of Pervas, it is absolutely impossible for people who have seen them in the aristocratic circles of Coronia. If the dragon and beauty mercenary group were to have a weapon of this level, the sight would be too dazzling, and it would simply tell everyone that there was a problem in this mercenary group. After attracting the attention of other groups, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will recognize the origin of the equipment.

This is something that East simply cannot stand. In that way, it is equivalent to directly exposing one's party in front of the Pervas family's team, and losing all possibilities to fish in troubled waters and act at the opportunity.

Therefore, some of the equipment he took out to redress the Dragon and Beauty Mercenary Regiment was obtained from the weapons warehouse of the Void Fleet. Although these equipment are only alchemical items, their sophistication is something that even Easter was surprised by when he first saw it.

Esther remembered that not long ago, in the speedboat sailing on the Iron Tree River, the best weapon he had on his hand was an alchemical weapon, a battle axe. The kind of weapon that uses diamond chips as blades is already considered the best alchemy weapon, and it is the best weapon that most civilian-born warriors who can't distinguish between magic items and alchemy items at all.

However, in the arsenal of the Void Fleet, Esther suddenly discovered that the long-handled battle axe he loved so much at the beginning was actually only the equipment of the most ordinary soldiers in the Void Fleet. At the beginning, Est clearly remembered that in order to obtain the battle axe, he spent a full 3,000 tokens, which accounted for one-tenth of his one-year jazz annuity.

As a legendary powerhouse and high-ranking officer of the Void Fleet of King Coronia, Esther has surprising privileges. He has the right to build his own personal guards, that is, the followers of ordinary legendary powerhouses. As a fighting group, the Void Fleet is very supportive of the legendary powerhouses in the fleet to recruit followers. Because in the end, most of these followers will also become the backbone of the Void Fleet. And because there are legendary powerhouses that can be used as objects to learn, many of them are basically able to reach the level of sub-legends.

The Void Fleet has provided a number of support measures for the Fleet's legendary powerhouses to recruit followers. This includes benefits such as grants to followers, comfortable rooms on ships, and priority selection to join the Void Fleet. One of the most inconspicuous of these is support in armament. Every Legendary powerhouse who joins the Void Fleet will receive a batch of high-quality alchemy equipment from the fleet's arsenal as soon as possible, enough for the Legendary Powerhouse to arm a small army of twenty people to the teeth. The low-end equipment in these Void Fleets is a gift package prepared for the legendary powerhouse to recruit potential low-level followers.

Easter is mainly armed with this group of equipment and the Mercenary Group of Dragons and Beauty.

The reason why it is said to be the main reason is that the equipment obtained from the Void Fleet is all standard equipment. It is impossible for a mercenary group to have all its equipment standardized, which is simply not possible in common sense. For mercenaries, weapons and equipment are the ones who eat and save their lives. Everyone will try to have the best weapons and equipment, but because of the difference in financial resources, there will often be a huge difference in personal equipment. Seasoned mercenaries are generally equipped with a variety of equipment with very average abilities and inconspicuous equipment, but they are novices with flamboyant personalities, often wearing some flashy equipment and becoming a target for others on the battlefield.

The only ones who could standardize their equipment were the regular army that belonged to the kingdom and the private guards of the various nobles.

Therefore, for the purpose of concealing people's ears, Easter deliberately rummaged through the backpacks of himself, Sonia and Mora Gott, and together with the low-level magic equipment contributed by Richard the Crippled, he made up a lot of miscellaneous weapons and equipment to arm the twelve members of the Dragon and Beauty Mercenary Group.

The update is coming. I may have had a heat stroke today.
