After returning to the barracks, he began to live a peaceful life again, and after meeting General Bradley, nothing happened, Kevin still took the crow to the tavern to give a speech the next night, but everything was as usual, the drunkard was still excited, and General Bradley never met again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

There was a fiery atmosphere in the barracks, and the biggest topic in the barracks during this period of time was naturally the recruits. After tea and dinner, the commanders or veterans talked about the interesting stories of their recruits. These recruits are not familiar with the barracks, and their quality is slightly poor, so naturally they make a lot of jokes.

After each training session, Kevin often had a group of recruits curiously looking at the side of the road. As a result, their commander reprimanded, "What do you see, is this what you see?" and the recruits hurriedly turned their heads.

The rules of the barracks are sometimes impersonal and unreasonable. Of course, Kevin wouldn't deliberately talk to a recruit, and he wasn't his own soldier. If you want to be as shameless as Kevin, you must be beaten a few times first, and it is difficult for ordinary recruits to do Kevin's.

Kevin doesn't have recruits, but there are benefits to not having them, at least at this time Kevin can concentrate on his own training and research.

In late December, Smitta's money was finally scraped together, and Lou Pauler repatriated the two detained Smitta's sinners as agreed. From his arrest in early November to his final release in late December, he was imprisoned for more than a month, and it was very stingy for a country to put together 100,000 gold coins and still push back and block.

When the two were repatriated, although they had lost a lot of weight, they were radiant and full of energy. The strength of the two is undoubtedly greatly reduced, their hands and feet are weak, and their eyes are sluggish, but I believe that after resting for a while, they can still practice back. These two are both 6th-order masters, and they are also indispensable talents for Smitta, and in the end, they dragged on for more than a month, but they still paid the full money.

This money actually even Kevin had a share, when Kevin used his wit to drag two Smitta's masters with a urinal, so that he was injured, but in the end he succeeded in saving the professor and himself, and the professor also completed his biological task.

Smitta's reparations, strictly speaking, were made to the professor and Kevin. They attacked the professor and Kevin, and naturally compensated them. But naturally there will be some kickbacks, some taxes and things like that. In the end, the professor got 70,000 gold coins, and Kevin got 10,000 gold coins.

It was undoubtedly a windfall for Kevin, and he was already very satisfied, but Professor Rook felt embarrassed and gave Kevin another 20,000 gold coins.

When Kevin received the check for 20,000 gold coins, he could hardly believe it. Even if he is well-informed, Kevin is only wandering around at the bottom after all. At this time, with a property of 30,000 gold coins, it was almost comparable to an ordinary low-level nobleman. If a person doesn't do anything, it will not be a problem to support himself for three or five years, as long as the gold coins do not depreciate for three or five years.

But Kevin is not the one who loses himself so easily, after getting the money. Kevin began to work on his catapult in earnest, and recently began to experiment with his own models, contacting some array mages or alchemists to help engrave the hardening circle.

The alchemists that Kevin is looking for are all high-level mages, they belong to the mage guild, and they generally serve the upper nobles, creating expensive magical equipment that belongs to the upper nobles, swords, shields, armor, rings, necklaces, and of course, there are many powerful mages. But when junior officers like Kevin come in, they even try to drive them away.

Kevin immediately carried a box, opened it full of gold coins, glittered with gold, and disturbed it with his hand to make a pleasant and crisp sound.

Money is indeed a good thing, as soon as it was photographed, the entire Mage Guild was silent, and everyone stared at it. Then he grabbed Kevin.

Of course, Kevin was not afraid, knowing that they were only worried about the origin of a large number of gold coins, probably thinking that he was a thief. However, Kevin has a clear conscience, and he is the captain of the catapult of the Thunder Knights, and they don't dare to do anything to themselves.

Sure enough, it was only half a day before Kevin was released. The branch leader of the Mage Guild personally apologized, and Kevin just waved his hand to show that he didn't mind. But I have very important equipment, and I hope that the formation mage here can help with the engraving, and the money is only 30,000, and there will be no more.

Out of apology to Kevin, the Mage Guild didn't say a word immediately. He patted his chest and said, "What equipment do you have, and if you want to engrave any magic circle, just bring it and we'll get it for you." ”

Kevin sold a pass: "My equipment is too heavy, it's not convenient to take it." Do you want to come with me?"

The mages looked at each other in understanding. In fact, the nobles who need to make magic equipment here often offer to let the mage go to his house to do it. There are many reasons for this, usually these equipment are beyond their titles, according to the law cannot be owned, and belong to the high-end weapons in the private possession of nobles. Or maybe they're worried about feeling like their privacy is being made public, or they just want to keep it secretive, etc.

Mage guilds usually meet their requirements, as long as they are not too outrageous. Although the law has provisions, after all, the law does not blame the public, and at present, most of the nobles have similar situations, as long as they don't take it out and show it around, they will all turn a blind eye.

But it was the first time they had heard someone use the excuse that it was too heavy, what weapon was so heavy? Could it be Thor's hammer?

The mages looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't say anything, and immediately sent two experienced array mages to follow Kevin. No one was allowed to enter the barracks, and Kevin couldn't apply for that permission.

So Kevin asked the two alchemists to wait at the gate of the barracks, and went in himself and pulled the catapult out. When the three donkeys pulled the catapult out of the doorway, the two alchemists were still craned their necks trying to search for it: "What equipment?

"No, the catapult is my gear," Kevin just laughed and jumped off the car, "isn't it a bit heavy?"

Two alchemists: "......"

The crow immediately flew above the two of them: "Ah...... Yes...... Ah......h

The two alchemists looked up at the crow: "......"

It can't be blamed on the alchemists for being stunned, generally heavy equipment is coordinated by higher-ranking officers, at least a colonel or even a general. As a result, a corporal officer is now pulling a strange catapult alone and asking for the engraving of the circle, which is a bit unconscionable.

But in any case, the two alchemists are still at the same level. After only two days, the sclerotherapy was successfully completed. It also feels good to conduct the test, the sclerosis is mainly engraved on the moving parts of the joints, supporting and throwing the arm part, only need to input a certain amount of mental power near the support column, and the magic circle will naturally activate, absorb the surrounding earth magic elements, and then harden.

There are no special effects on the surface, but the mage can still feel the gathering of elements. When you touch it with your hands, you will clearly feel that it is no longer wood, but a stone that looks like wood. The hardness is very high, and there are no traces of the sword lightly. However, its hardness is not constant.

Sclerosis is equivalent to a formation that automatically absorbs the surrounding elements, and the density of the surrounding elements will naturally affect the effect of hardening. This is the defect of the formation, it is fixed and rigid, and once it is activated, it will only appear in one form, which is much stiffer than the law of the people.

However, in any case, the accuracy of the catapult after the blessing of hardening is indeed significantly higher by a notch, which is quite useful. The two bards also proposed to add a gravity array to the catapult counterweight, so that the weight of the counterweight could be easily increased if needed to throw heavier projectiles, or to increase the distance of the projectile.

Kevin immediately took an inch and asked if there was an anti-gravity array. But the two alchemists were helpless, and said that there was indeed one, but the anti-gravity array was dozens of times more expensive than the heavy force array, and your 30,000 gold coins were really not enough.

In the end, the circle was engraved, and a total of 28,000 gold coins were spent, and Kevin still had some on him. For a short period of time, catapults will no longer be significantly modified. The next thing to do is to train with sclerosing, and the distance scale on the catapult has to be reset, which needs to be more precise and cumbersome.

At the same time, the maintenance of the catapult must also be very important, and the hardening technique is only used in combat, but if it is worn out, moth-eaten, or even missing a corner when it is moved or stored in peacetime, it will be difficult to ensure accuracy when hardening again.

And once the basic accuracy of the catapult is guaranteed, then when the crow is guided to fly, its change will also be reduced. The crow is bound to be more effortless, and if the opponent tries to dodge, the crow can also adjust the direction of the stone bullet as much as possible to maintain limited tracking.

Yes, Kevin has stopped confined catapults to attacking cities or military formations, and has attempted to attack alone. When he trained, he had long since stopped drawing circles on the ground, and as long as the catapult was thrown into the circle, it was considered successful. He even used the archer's target to hit the target for success.

Kevin's training can't be hidden from others. In recent winter, the grass of the steppe has not yet grown, and the wilderness is endless, and there is no place to hide such a large catapult. Kevin's training is not an unsightly thing, there are often some cavalry passing by, urging onlookers, Kevin just nodded and greeted, and then continued to practice openly.

Seeing that one after another stone projectiles accurately hit the archer's target 500 meters away, the cavalry looked like sculptures, letting the cold wind blow, half silent.

When the news came back to the barracks, it caused a heated discussion. Many people are curious and want to come and see, but the military camp also has rules, how can you run around casually during training time. When Kevin was training, they had to train, and in the end, only some veterans, or some people who had put their training ground nearby, came over and watched.

But even so, forty or fifty people came, all cavalrymen, talking and commenting on the sidelines.

Kevin remained calm and instructed the three donkeys to pull the winch and raise the counterweight. The stone bullet automatically rolls from the groove to the back end of the throwing arm, and the crow flies up on its own and grabs the net on the stone bullet. Kevin sees the target, corrects the scale, and starts the hardening technique, pulling off the wrench.

The counterweight was smashed down, the throwing arm was sharply upturned, and the catapult was still extremely steady, flying towards the target with the stone projectile and the crow. As it approached, the crow suddenly let go, and the stone bullet relied on inertia to accurately hit the archer target, knocking the target to the ground.

"Oh!" the onlookers applauded, many of them were some knowledgeable veterans, and indeed they had never heard of catapults actually trained with archers, and they were definitely masters.

"Hehe, in fact, it doesn't make sense for the catapult to be so accurate. A voice suddenly appeared in the cavalry, Kevin was slightly surprised, and followed the reputation, but it was Sain.

The general's son, who was at odds with Kevin's recruit team, lost to Kevin in almost all events during the recruit drill, and finally won a game with a bow and arrow, which was considered to save some face. Now he is a pioneer in the Second Brigade of the Thunder Knights.

This person was very crazy when he was a recruit, but he could barely suppress it because of his strength. And now it's even more crazy, almost to the point of no one. Even the commander of the second brigade has to give him three points of thin noodles, who will make his father the commander of the regiment? The soldiers and officers below are even more stammering, constantly currying favor, and they almost call him father.

Now I see that people who used to be unpleasant can also achieve something, and immediately ridicule them. As soon as he spoke, a few people on the side suddenly spoke, and seemed to understand very well: "Well, that is." Catapults are mainly used for siege, and it is of little significance whether they are accurate or not. "That is, it is better to practice fighting spirit in this time Yonglian, once you are approached on the battlefield, you can also solve the problem by yourself." "And whoever stands still stupidly, the stone flies over, and he has long been hiding. ”......

Kevin just smiled, and at this time his injuries were finally healed and he could speak loudly: "Bows and arrows originally started with fixed targets, and after mastering fixed targets, they began to practice moving targets, and then began to practice more high-end and complex training. I'm just taking it one step at a time. ”

Sain disdained: "Cut, are you really compared to the bow and arrow? How fast does the bow and arrow change direction?

Kevin, however, is not angry: "Anything that comes up will encounter all kinds of difficulties. It's nothing, my car direction is difficult to turn, but the amount of advance can be calculated. ”

"Hahaha!" the cavalry laughed, "and calculate the amount of advance? The speed of our cavalry can be constantly changed, how do you calculate?"

"How many people will try it then?" Kevin suggested, "I've been shooting fixed targets for a long time, and I can do move on to the next stage." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent. Obviously, no one wants to be Kevin's target, if he misses it, won't he stone himself to death?

Suddenly, the crow flew above everyone's heads: "Ah...... Yes...... Ah......h

Everyone looked up at the crow: "......"

"You come back to me, there are no slots here. Kevin hurriedly called back the crow and explained further to the group, "You can lead a small cart one after another, and set a target on the cart, or more simply, a piece of cloth." Who's willing to try? You don't think this thing will hit you anyway, do you?"

The cavalry hesitated, but at this moment Sein spoke to a soldier on the side: "Go, try it, and drag our training dummy behind the horse." ”

"This ...... Sir, I'......" The soldier's face changed, obviously very reluctant.

"Go ahead, it's okay, we're watching. Sain spoke, his tone unmistakable. Everyone else on the side also took the opportunity to agree: "Go, go, just see." And so on

Kevin just looked at it calmly, estimating that this soldier must have offended Sain somewhere.
