Chapter 224: The Demon's Energy Supply System and the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers
In the middle of November, the weather in Gensokyo is basically a rhythm of light snow and moderate to heavy snow from time to time, which leads to the fact that no matter who wants to go out, it is necessary to take precautions against the cold.
The buildings in the Teutonic camp have two elemental towers that power the entire camp, and the artificially synthesized fire and lightning crystals that were previously hoarded now play a role: these two magical elements themselves have the property of generating hot fire, and after synthesizing them, they are as easy to use and store as coal and firewood, so whether it is a fortress barracks for Boghall soldiers to live in, dormitories for workers and technicians, as well as weapons factories, The armor factory and other work facilities have enjoyed the 24-hour heating guarantee, ensuring that the indoor is not as warm as spring, but it will definitely not be frozen into a dog.
Half-lying on the comfortable big bed, with his back against the soft pillows piled up, Feng Longde held the book "History of the Teutonic Invasion" that he had bought from Suzuna-an a long time ago and read it many times, but still read it correctly, while silently feeling the warmth transmitted by the walls around the room.
After the headquarters fort was completely completed, Feng Longde immediately stuffed all kinds of furniture, household appliances and other personal belongings in his two space rings into the room on the second floor: it turned out that his personal belongings could not even fill the second floor, so he had to take time to take Caroline and Yarman and other guard knights to the human world to find carpenters and other people to spend money to order furniture- The headquarters fort is completed and renovated in the later stage, but there is no furniture or anything, Feng Longde brought back from his villa enough to live on his own, but if you want to arrange a small castle, it is a drop in the bucket.
The big thing of arranging a new home took a week, and the result was that Feng Longde and the others were tired and half dead, and they could be regarded as able to move in with peace of mind. Even the living conditions of the Guard Knights, Lich Mages, and the recruited servants were greatly improved: Feng Longde directly purchased the furniture and other items needed by all the personnel living in the Headquarters Fort, and his practice of simply saving himself after saving himself a one-time work this time can be said to have played a positive role in improving his reputation.
The Headquarters Fort has its own Elemental Tower, so compared to the other buildings in the Teutonic camp, it is more abundant in terms of energy supply, and Feng Longde can finally enjoy the modern life feeling of lying in the warm quilt and reading a book when the snow is falling outside: Feng Longde is too unforgettable for his experience of living in a tent for a long time, and who is not willing to live comfortably, so he asked Caroline to use the energy supply method of the Elemental Tower to get a system similar to a modern power supply line for the Headquarters Fort. It's so convenient and convenient for your own life.
Caroline has not been idle for more than a month, although her specific research plan for mass production of human beings seems to be far away, but she has also researched an unexpected result: because Feng Longde needs her to help arrange the elemental energy supply system in the headquarters fort like a modern energy supply, so Caroline gradually figured out how to convert the elemental energy and modern energy in the process of completing this goal, and she also figured out how to use elemental energy to charge modern electrical appliances, for which she has tinkered with the corresponding small energy conversion equipment and lines, or to put it bluntly, that is, wires, plugs and plug boards that can walk elemental energy
Feng Longde was so frightened that his jaw dislocated, but Caroline said that it was just a fairly simple alchemy production. He also explained to his brother that she had learned a lot of the science and technology of modern society over the past year or so, and that with the vast amount of knowledge she already had in her soul from the Teutonic Empire, it was not surprising that she could understand and transform modern objects to match them with magical items and elemental energy.
Thinking that Caroline was able to adapt to the life of modern society in more than a year, not to mention, and could thoroughly study and apply almost all aspects of science and technology to his own research and transformation, Feng Longde deeply felt that people are more angry than people
However, after the headquarters fort has the energy supply system and wiring of the elemental energy version, many electrical appliances and other items that Feng Longde brought from his villa can also be used with confidence. Instead of using a computer or other electrical appliances every time, he needs to use his solar-powered universal mobile power bank to ensure the power source, and once the weather turns cloudy, he can only stare dryly, so he is in the headquarters fort. Feng Longde can also enjoy the same home life as when he stayed in the modern society, and even the supply of tap water here no longer relies on drawing water from the Lake of Mist, but directly uses the artificial water system magic crystal to ensure that he can have the purest and most immaculate water anytime and anywhere.
"Thanks to Caroline and the Lich Mages," said Von Ronde, who was wearing long-sleeved pajamas, lifted the quilt and left the warm bed, and after putting the books back in the bookcase in the room, he began to change his long-sleeved pajamas into jet-black Teutonic Gothic plate armor. "But I'm a little lazy and a little tired of being in the bed, go down and take a look, and Yarman and them will play a few laps of activity with their weapons, otherwise I'll get rusty." β
Since the weather has completely changed to heavy snow and is very cold and humid both indoors and outdoors, the people in the Teutonic camp are both human and deceased. Of course, for goblins like Kiruno and the big goblin, they are not sensitive to the cold and warm changes of the weather, but for little monster girls like Lumia and Miski, if they don't wear more, I'm afraid they won't dare to fly too high, and it's not impossible that their wings will freeze or frost if they fly a little longer.
Originally, Feng Longde had to wear a special armed suit when he wore a Teutonic Gothic plate armor wrapped in a burqa, but because the weather was a little too cold, Feng Longde also wore a furry wolf skin jacket and trousers between the armed suit and the Teutonic Gothic plate armor to ensure that his torso and limbs would not be frozen by the cold temperature. Although Feng Longde's physical strength is stronger than that of the strongest ordinary humans, the power of nature is not for fun, there should be warmth measures, there must be warmth measures, otherwise you let the polar bear lose that thick fur to try, and how many times stronger than humans will only be frozen to death.
Feel the cold wind and the clear snowflakes blowing in from time to time through the peephole, and watch the Boghall soldiers who are fully armed and holding this weapon and training diligently. Von Rondra, who was also heavily armed, tightened his hood and cloak and walked from the gate of the headquarters fort to the king's stables and the equestrian arena that accompanied it.
β
After finding the undead war horse for his own use in the stable, Feng Longde stepped on the horse's back, tightened the reins, and then commanded the undead war horse to lead him towards the equestrian arena through soul connection.
At this moment, the equestrian arena was slightly deserted compared to the training ground near the fortress barracks outside, but it was only "slightly" deserted: in the vast arena, there were many knights of the Guard who had taken turns to rest and were riding undead horses and practicing one-on-one riding spears with riding spears. There were also some knights of the Guards who were tasked with training and led a large group of horsemen on tall horses wearing horse robes, to train in procession and practice the use of weapons on horses.
After Feng Longde took a closer look and asked a few knights of the Guards who led the training of those cavalry through soul contact, he learned that those who were training seriously were the third batch of recruits he had recruited, or the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers who were preparing to train into the second cavalry unit.
The Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers, originally appeared at the end of the ruling period and the beginning of the Dark Ages, long before the establishment of the Teutonic Empire, and were a cavalry unit unique to any northern peoples in Ilib (present-day Europe), and perhaps in the period before the establishment of the Teutonic Empire, this cavalry unit had a completely different name among different powers and peoples. Such names as scout riders, patrol cavalry, and itinerant light cavalry, but these cavalry were called Teutonic Tomahawk Ranger as early as the Teutonic Knights Tu Nation founded by Herman, and continued throughout the history of the Teutonic Empire.
As the name suggests, the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers are a troop of Rangers with Tomahawks: the current group of recruits wearing a double layer of armor composed of heavy chain mail and iron-clad armor, armed with steel one-handed battle axes, Nearly two meters long, he rode a captured Arabian horse or a Trekna horse purchased from the Horse Farm on Earth, wearing a Charrell steel helmet and plate steel boots. Today's training task is being repeated under the command of several guards knights.
The reason why Feng Longde wanted to form such a cavalry unit equipped with heavy cavalry and fighting in the style of light cavalry came from the battle against tens of thousands of Aztec warriors: the battle required the elimination of all the fleeing Aztec warriors. However, due to the large range and the large number of Aztec warriors who fled, even if Von Longde had Caroline block all escape routes with muddy swamps and blazing fire thunder in advance, this post-battle effort to pursue the remnants of the soldiers also made all the Guard knights and Boghall soldiers tired and half dead, which also caused the speed of cleaning the battlefield to be seriously affected.
Therefore, whether it was due to tactical diversification or the need for multiple troops, Feng Longde decided to form this eighty-one Teutonic Tomahawk Ranger unit: they were responsible for long-distance running, flanking and flanking, chasing retreating and dispersing enemies, and attacking the enemy's light infantry units, plus they wore armor equivalent to hoplites and carried steel one-handed battle axes, mounted spears, and thick wooden round shields. Therefore, even after dismounting, they are excellent heavy shield spearmen or heavy shield axemen, and the Walking Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers who can form a shield wall are also not to be underestimated in foot combat.
Although the temperature was a bit bitterly cold, the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers, who lived in Gensokyo all year round, were accustomed to it, and they were constantly practicing a single movement like a machine under the leadership of several Guard Knights: wooden stakes and grass targets were set up along the dozen or so tracks in the equestrian arena, and all these recruits had to do was to skillfully control their mounts and use the steel one-handed battle axes or riding spears in their right hand to accurately stab and slash those wooden stakes and grass targets that were imaginary enemies when they ran in cyclesγ Also pay attention to how to dodge the large pockets that counterattack after being hit by the stake.
Regardless of whether they were stabbed or slashed, they would fall directly to the ground, but it was the wooden stakes that made the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers cry bitterly: as soon as Feng Longde entered the arena, he heard several ghosts crying wolf howls and the crash of heavy objects falling to the ground, and it seemed that this movement from time to time would not stop for a short time.
Feng Longde glanced at the stakes, and saw that the stakes themselves were very thick, not to mention that they were also vertically crossed by another slightly thinner wooden pole, and at each end of this wooden pole were fixed a thick wooden board in the shape of a fan-shaped shield and a large bag full of dirt was suspended.
After a few glances, Feng Longde recognized that the wooden stakes of this structure were used to train the cavalry's combat skills on horses, whether it was the prehistoric period of the Teutonic Empire or the legendary Middle Ages in this era of human civilization, this kind of training equipment was not uncommon.
After all the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers had run in a lap or been knocked down once and assembled in the open space outside the runway, a knight of the Guards rode up to the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers and said, "Judging from the results of your current training, you no longer need to do the most basic riding training, from today onwards, what we need to practice is how to fight with weapons on horseback." β
As if clearing his throat, the knight of the guard made a strange sound of indistinct sound from the barrel helmet of the knight of the guard, and continued: "As everyone knows, whether it is heavy cavalry or light cavalry, as long as it is a melee weapon, we will line up on the battlefield and drive forward, use the cavalry spear or cavalry spear in our hands to pierce the enemy in front of us, and then continue the battle with the other weapons you wear. β
"But fighting with weapons on horseback is no like fighting on foot, and your previous performance shows that you may be very good at riding, but you definitely have no experience in using weapons, otherwise there wouldn't be so many of you who still look like you're grinning now. The knight of the Guards glanced at all the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers, many of whom were visibly or covertly clasping their hands on their waists, backs, or heads, indicating that they were all unlucky people who had eaten the stake as the knight of the Guards had spoken.
