Chapter 52: Arrows

After the summoning was over, Galen set off for Nice again to complete the deal with the other party and recover the balance of the 90,000 gold coins.

Rex, the Void Beast, Alan asked her to hide directly from the garden of the Lord's Mansion underground. Alan didn't plan to let Lexy appear directly in the eyes of everyone in the territory, and when the war broke out and Lexus suddenly appeared to turn the tide, the residents of the territory would be more likely to accept her, a monster with a somewhat hideous appearance.

You read that right, it's indeed "she", and Rex is a woman, or a mother is more appropriate.

After arranging Lexi, Eren left the Lord's Mansion with Svein and fifty frost archers. Eren was going to go to the barracks first and settle the fifty frost archers.

The barracks have always been in charge of Alex, and he usually stays in the barracks to train the soldiers of the Guardian Army.

When Alan and the others arrived at the barracks, Alex had just arranged for the seventy-odd mercenary soldiers to be in the barracks.

"Young Master, what are these?"

Alex looked at the fifty frost archers in front of him and asked in surprise.

"Don't ask," said Allen, "just remember that they will be soldiers of the realm from now on." ”

Alex nodded, another group of guys with the same mysterious origin as the Demacian hoplites, but it can be seen from the Demacian hoplites that the loyalty of these people is unquestionable.

"You arrange a camp for them, separate from the camps of the other soldiers. ”

Alan explained that men and women don't kiss. The soldiers summoned by these systems also have their own minds.

Alex nodded: "Got it, young master." ”

"Also, this is Svein, who will serve as the chief advisor of our realm in the future. ”

"This is Alex, one of the military chiefs of the realm. ”

"You two get to know each other. ”

Alan introduced Alex and Svein.

"Hello, General Alex. ”

Svein's eerie voice and somewhat terrifying look, combined with the strange bird on his shoulder, sent chills down Alex's heart.

"Hello, hello, Mr. Svein. ”

Alex hurriedly responded.

After introducing the two to each other, Alan asked Alex to take the Frost Archer to the barracks to settle down first.

As Alex walked through the barracks with the Frost Archers, a group of Guardian soldiers were training on the grounds. When the soldiers in training saw Alex pass by with a group of handsome and slender female archers, they immediately let out a wolf howl.

The repression before the war was alleviated a lot in an instant.

"What do you call it, are you too energetic? If you don't need to prepare for battle at any time, I will definitely train you to the point that you can't stand up!"

Alex smiled at the wolf-howling soldiers.

After Alex entered the barracks with the frost archers, Alan and Svein went to the blacksmith shop in the realm.

Archers are available, but bows and arrows still have to be prepared by the territory itself, and frost archers don't have the attribute of 'infinite arrows'.

While the Frost Archer can unleash magical arrows that are purely condensed with magical power, the magic arrows are so mana expensive that each Frost Archer will deplete their mana by placing up to ten arrows.

Therefore, pure magic arrows can only be used as killer weapons, and in ordinary battles, frost archers still use ordinary arrows. Of course, when the Frost Archer shoots a normal arrow, it also attaches ice magic to the arrow, which is much less expensive than pure magic arrows.

An arrow is mainly divided into two parts: the arrow and the shaft (the shaft includes the feathers), the arrow is made of iron, the shaft is wooden, and the tail is attached to the feathers. Alan came to the blacksmith shop at this time, and naturally asked the blacksmith shop to make arrowheads.

Originally, this kind of thing didn't need Alan to come over in person, and it was enough to let the village chief Jill come over and explain, but the village chief Jill was now supervising the construction of the light infantry barracks, and Alan could only come and run by himself.

The blacksmith shop has been expanded several times in the past few months, and it is no longer the small blacksmith shop it used to be, and the number of blacksmiths has increased a lot, including more than ten apprentices.

Seeing Alan walk in, the blacksmiths in the blacksmith shop stopped their work and saluted Allen.

"My lord, why are you here? ”

The old blacksmith of the blacksmith shop, who is now the steward of the blacksmith shop, greeted him and asked.

The blacksmith and carpenter shops in the territory are all run by the lord's mansion and are not privately owned, so they are the stewards, not the bosses.

"Do you have any work on now?" Alan asked.

"No," replied the steward, "some time ago the village chief of Gil asked us to build a batch of farm tools, which were completed two days ago, and now there is no work at hand. ”

"Do you know how to craft arrows?" asked Alan again.

"With normal arrows, there is no problem, but it requires the cooperation of a carpenter. The steward replied, "It is more professional to make arrow shafts as a carpenter." ”

Alan nodded, and the carpenter's shop was next to the blacksmith's shop, and Alan had the carpenter's shop steward called.

"How much pig iron is left in the warehouse?"

When everyone arrived, Alan asked the steward of the blacksmith shop. Huaxia Ling does not have its own iron mine, and the pig iron it usually consumes is purchased from the city of Nice.

"Originally, there were 1,000 units left, but just now the village chief of Gil took away 500 units and said that he was going to build a new barracks, and now there are 500 units left. The blacksmith replied.

"How many arrows can you make with 500 units of pig iron?" Alan asked.

The blacksmith shop manager thought for a moment and said, "Each unit of pig iron can make about a hundred arrowheads, and if all five hundred units of pig iron are made into arrowheads, at least 50,000 can be made." ”

Alan was still worried about whether the arrows he had built would not be enough, but now when he heard this number, he was relieved. There are only fifty archers in the territory, and they can't consume 50,000 arrows.

Alan nodded: "Very good, if you start building arrows with all your might, how much will it cost to build every day?"

Alan asked this question to the two stewards of the blacksmith shop and the carpenter's shop.

The two of them gave Allen an answer, three hundred.

The manufacture of arrow shafts was relatively simple, and the carpenter's shop was able to make at least 500 shafts a day when he sent some men to help build the light infantry battalion.

The main reason is that the arrowheads are more troublesome to build, and the more than ten blacksmiths in the blacksmith shop are doing their best, and they can only build up to 300 every day.

Alan was quite satisfied with this answer, and it seemed that before the Folkestone Territory invaded, the territory could produce enough arrows for the use of frost archers.

You know, when the Frost Archers were summoned, each of them had twenty arrows in their quiver, and fifty people added up to a thousand.

In addition, a batch of arrows has been produced in the territory in the past few days, and the number is enough to support the consumption of the Frost Archers in a battle.

"From now on, you stop all your work and go all out to build arrows!"

Alan ordered.

The blacksmith and carpenter shops received the order and immediately began to make them.

After leaving the blacksmith's shop, Alan took Svein to the construction site of the light infantry barracks.

At the construction site, Alan introduced Svein to the village chief Jill, who also reported to Alan on the progress of the construction of the barracks.

If you work in two shifts day and night, you can complete the construction in three days at most!

This speed is very satisfying to Allen, and if it can be completed before the Fox Stone Territory invades, it may come in handy.

Allen knew in his heart that the Fox Stone Leader must have known that the more than 100 soldiers they sent had been buried here, and he also knew the approximate strength of the Huaxia Leader, of course, the strength of a few days ago.

However, what made Allen wonder why Fox Stone had not moved for a long time.

Of course, the later the Fox Collar moves, the better it will be for Allen, because Allen can get more time to prepare.

If Galen returned with 90,000 gold coins and the Fox Stone Collar hadn't moved, Alan might have to consider taking the initiative.

Just after leaving the construction site of the light infantry barracks, the wild grass came to the door again.

What the wild grass brought was good news, the information of the magic energy machine, the wild grass has been copied.
