"Excuse me, which one is the head of Donnaveen?"

The knight who spoke should be the leader of this mercenary army. By this time, he had taken off his black helmet, revealing a kind round face. If you only look at this face, you must not have imagined that he was the one who led these knights to charge bloodily just now.

"I'm Donner, you're Captain Enriquez, right?" Donner replied, he already knew the other party's name from Natia.

"Haha, you're a little younger than I thought. Enriquez said with a smile, then turned around and greeted, "Brothers, come and meet the boss." ”

Hundreds of black-armored knights took off their helmets one after another, with a flattering smile on their faces, and they even called the boss good.

Originally, after Sarah and the others witnessed the heroic appearance of these black-armored knights, they were all dumbfounded-how could these people not have the demeanor of a master at all, and they simply lost the knight's face.

This is simply a contractor with a group of migrant workers, Donner sneered and asked, "How many of you are here?"

"Boss, I brought all the five hundred brothers under my hands, don't you know, we rushed all the way, almost broke the horse's legs, and a lot of money was hacked by the merchants who transported the horses on the cliff in the north, do you see if this part is ......?"

"Yes, yes, boss, you see, my horse has lost a lot of weight. ”

"What are you, my horse vomited blood for the first two days......"

Donner wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly interrupted their complaints: "Okay, I'll think about all of this." We're still in the first place...... Oh, by the way, what's the name of your mercenary group?"

"The Black Temple, the Black Temple Mercenary Regiment. Enskes replied with a smile.

......

After bringing the Black Temple mercenary group into the city, Donner introduced Devis and the others, but did not mention how he found them.

Deves was also very intrigued and didn't ask in detail.

From the fact that the dwarves had given them extremely valuable magic wands twice, he had already concluded that Donner's relationship with them must not be as simple as he introduced himself, but just sold some inventions to them.

He already vaguely felt in his heart that the appearance of this team was mostly related to those dwarves, and dwarves were usually not allowed to interfere in earth-earth affairs, so he decided to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Seeing that the morale of the people was high, Donner instructed Sarah and the others to quickly strike while the iron was hot and recruit soldiers.

A hearty victory turned the lifeless atmosphere in Dorne completely. Sarah easily recruited more than 700 young people, most of whom were students from the two colleges in the province of Tris, and some of whom had already graduated.

The Black Temple mercenary group was also arranged in the Knight Academy, but they didn't seem to need to rest, and in a blink of an eye, they all went to the city wall again and took the initiative to take on the responsibility of patrolling.

On the city walls, the Black Temple mercenaries arranged by Enriquez patrol in rotation day and night. Sarah, Mino, and the others also freed up their energy and took the recruits to train in the Knight Academy with peace of mind.

Seeing that the conditions were ripe, Donner finally asked someone to pull the mysterious machine into the Knight Academy, and began to demonstrate it to all the recruits.

Nearly a thousand people gathered around Donner's side, watching him pull the shroud from the mysterious machine.

The machine was about the size of half a carriage, and like a simple carriage, it also had a pair of wheels underneath. One end is propped up on the ground, and at the other end is an inclined iron plate, on which holes are evenly drilled, and if you count carefully, it is exactly eight rows and eight columns, and sixty-four holes.

"Do you see the crank on either side? Fifteen people came out...... Like me, follow this direction. Donner said as he demonstrated: "It takes a little force to turn, you can turn it sideways and use the strength of your waist and abdomen." ”

Eight people stood on each side of the machine, and like Donner, they turned the handlebars as hard as if sixteen were running a walk-behind tractor at the same time.

For a magic apprentice like Donner, the crank did require a little strength to turn, but among the sixteen people, there were several reserve knights, all of whom had much more strength than him, and the crank turned very fast in their hands.

"When you can't turn anymore, you stop. Donner saw that a reserve knight had shaken his head and was still trying hard, and hurriedly commanded.

After three minutes, everyone stopped.

Donner ordered them to disperse, and then took out a bundle of slender iron spears from the wooden box beside them, and then inserted them upside down one by one along the holes in the machine, and each iron spear automatically slid to the ground as soon as it entered the hole.

With all that done, Donner walked to the back of the machine, took a slight aim at a row of puppets on the training ground in the distance, ordered the crowd to stand behind him, and then reached out to hold the two symmetrical brackets at the same time.

There was a loud bowstring-like sound, and sixty-four long crossbow arrows flew out in unison.

After another messy loud bang, none of the metal dolls in the distance were intact.

The team of nearly a thousand people, Ya Qi was silent, only the sound of heavy breathing remained-more than half of the team were students of the Knight Academy, and they knew that the dolls used to test their strength, even the instructors could only leave obvious marks on them, and under the round of crossbow arrows just now, they were all destroyed.

"You can work in groups of eighteen people, and the two with the least strength are responsible for filling the crossbow arrows while the others are winding. Downer went on to explain: "In order to prevent accidents, the rear bracket needs to be pulled at the same time to launch. ”

......

In the evening, Donner inspects the progress of the Lori twins in the dwarf laboratory.

"Teacher, I have always wondered why I don't just use the spring to fire the crossbow bolts, but put a cylinder in the middle?" asked Elemander. Since Natia arrived in Dorne, the dwarf sisters have changed their name to Donner.

"yes, yes, that cylinder is in trouble. Arimia chimed in.

"You'll find out by doing your own experiments. Donner replied casually as he operated the machine.

"Then teacher, why did you make the crossbow machine so big?"

"That's right, how good it is to make it smaller, and it can be operated by one person. ”

"That's not because the downsizing cylinders require too much precision. ”

Donner finally couldn't stand them anymore and turned into the lab kitchen, ready to get something to eat.

It just so happened that Natia was there.

"Cynthia helped me hire this mercenary group......" Donner found a loaf of bread and ate it in two or three bites.

Natia was chewing slowly on a plate of cut fruit, and when she heard this, she put down her fork with a smile and said, "A little improper?"

"You know that, too?"

"Haha, they ask for a high price, but the reputation is actually very good. Also, they take on all jobs, and ordinary mercenary groups don't take on tasks in Middle-earth. ”

"Why don't you take on a mission to Middle-earth, it's too far?"

"The road is far from the key. The environment in Middle-earth is different from that of the Knight Federation, and staying here for a long time is very unfavorable to the cultivation of knights. In the Knights' Federation, knights who have moved to Middle-earth are called fallen knights, which means that they have given up their belief in the pursuit of power. By the way, the fifth-level knight that Edward invited is the Fallen Knight. ”

"Then why are Enriquez willing to come to Middle-earth?"

"For the money, haha. Also, they can only stay here for three months, and after three months the mission is over. This is non-negotiable. ”

"Three months ......" Donner casually asked as he fumbled at the number, "What rank of knight is Enriquez?"

"Seventh-level knights, the lowest number of people under his command is also second-level knights. Natia said calmly.

Donner stared sideways in shock, speechless.
