Chapter 255: The Battle Regiments Became Overnight
Dusk, day, dawn, night.
One, two, four, eight, unit: hundred.
The heavenly regiment of 1500 combat members + 300 logistics personnel stood on the ground, in the morning light, being reviewed.
The people of Croppen Manor stood at the head of the city and on the walls of the village, looking at the solemn procession they had never seen in their lives.
They were witnesses to the birth of this team, and they watched as the dead nezumi were thrown into a glowing magic circle with arcane symbols and textures, and then came out of the monsters with even more hideous and drastic appearances.
They had witnessed an incredible way of smelting and forging, smelting all the metal recovered from the nezumi, and now the wide, deep trenches outside the manor walls were also formed by the extraction of raw materials.
A magical magic circle that re-fuses metal and earth into a material that resembles ore, but is stronger than ore.
The final armor is divided into black and white, and the white armor that is as bright as a mirror and has a gemstone texture on the surface is draped by Xi Man and Dayman, which is thick and has hitting angles, showing hideousness.
The matte, frosted black armor is worn by the faint and night barbarians, and the whole body armor is fully protected.
The unified feature of black and white armor is that the shape is different from the mainstream that people know, revealing individuality, elegance, fit, and cruel beauty.
From this armor, one can feel the sturdiness and practicality of the dwarven style, and the magnificence and sophistication of the elven style, but it is not like either, because its magnificence is not accentuated by ornamentation, and solidity is not expressed by bulkiness.
In fact, the characteristics that people cannot describe are just eight words: ergonomics, mechanical engineering.
When the concepts of these two disciplines are organically integrated into the design of armor, this style is born that makes the people of this world and this era feel different.
The people of Kloppen have also seen some other brain-splitting productions.
For example, by cultivating a magical plant called the Devil's Vine, you can obtain plant fibers, and weave battle robes, banners, and a material called 'leather' made from recycled and shattered leather armor.
For another example, combined with the golden stone skeleton, the devil vine was twisted and entangled, shaping into two never-before-seen riding war beasts, assault beasts and bigfoot beasts.
The Assault Beast is a four-legged heavy unit that is more than two meters tall at the shoulder and weighs no more than 4,000 pounds.
Bigfoot, on the other hand, runs on two legs like an enlarged rooster, nimble and fast.
For example, the unique ironclad car, this kind of car has a unique design, heavy, six wide wheels, frame structure, carriage hanging, coupled with a sigil system that plays a similar hydraulic characteristic, so that the carriage is always very stable, and no matter how powerful the frame shakes, it has little impact on the carriage.
There are many novelties that make this team unique.
And the most unique is the existence called the 'Demon Furnace', which can extract the magic power that is everywhere in this world and makes ordinary people fear and distress with a jaw-dropping efficiency. One can even visually see the mist of light formed around it by the eight winds of magic.
It was originally standing on the ground, but now it has been carried on the ironclad carts, and these ironclad carts equipped with the Demon Shaking Furnace are not pulled by assault beasts like other ironclad cars, but are pulled by a kind of ironstone monster with tracked feet called a towing head......
For the people of Cropen, all of this is more exaggerated than the legend. After all, although they had heard of legends such as giants and golems, they had not seen them in person, and the point was that the legends did not say that a huge team could be created from nothing overnight.
This is really magical, and people think that the source of magic is probably the glowing magic furnace, because it is the container of magical power.
I have to say that the people of Kloppen instinctively grasped the point of everything, energy!
The reason why Kane is the second sick prisoner and wants to scare God is naturally confident.
In this kind of high-magic world, he can make those long-lived species who are born with extreme affinity for magic, such as elves, understand what is the power of magic technology and what is the energy throughput efficiency of scientific high-end magic civilization.
In one night, it only takes one night, and the devil's vine alone cultivates a total weight of more than 1,000 tons. This kind of transformation ability is not comparable to the technology of this world.
The abundant energy even gave Kane the spare time to help the people of Kloppen strengthen the estate.
The foundation of the manor has been treated with rock disks, and the village wall has completed the change of the nature of turning mud into stone, the original earthen wall has now become granite, and even the outer trench has been petrified (processing silicon-based metal composites, raw materials are obtained, and trenching is dug by the way). Shooting towers and watchtowers were also constructed.
Cropen has become a tough little castle.
At present, the warband, which has a unified size and body size, and is well-equipped to the highest level of cold weapons, is ready to attack.
Such a team is afraid that even the emperor's guards are compared, and if you don't see them in person, it's hard to imagine that they are actually transformed from dead ratmen.
And this is still a fast army, 60 carts, 800 bigfoot, 200 assault beasts, forming the main body of the team, half of the reconnaissance team has set off before dawn, and the other half will be distributed around the troops after departure, to prevent the kind of oolong incident that is touched under the nose and is still at a loss.
"Well, don't you feel a little commander now? At the head of the city, Kane spoke to Hermione in English with a relaxed expression: "In my opinion, coming to the medieval world, this is the romance of war, since the line to be shot, the war has developed towards all kinds of sneaky and asymmetrical warfare, which is quite boring. ”
"War maniac. After commenting, Hermione added, "But this feeling of waving flags and guns and spears is really good." However, you will be promised the opportunity to visit the mountains and rivers. ”
At this point, Maria walked over and nodded at Kane.
Kane understood that all the engineering magic facilities had been dismantled.
Kane turned to Leonie and said, "Miss Lebowitz, we can go." ”
"Good. ”
Leonie turned her head and gave a few words to the steward of the manor, and the group came down from the city.
Kane: They got on their mounts.
In fact, they can ride the ironclad car, the mount looks romantic, but the comfort and safety are far worse than the ironclad car.
However, as Kane said, in the eyes of modern people, the Middle Ages is commendable, that is, the scenery of the landscape, and the atmosphere of knights and princesses, lords and wars that will not exist in modern society. DON'T TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COSPLAY, HOW UNINTERESTING IS THAT?
So they changed their clothes and rode their mounts.
Their mounts use specially cultivated devil vines, and the surface of the vines generates magical textures on their own, and there is light that circulates in these textures from time to time, which is very mysterious.
This devil vine does not need an additional skeleton, and the vine itself has the hardness of not losing to steel cables, and at the same time, it can weave all kinds of war beasts as needed.
Of course, in fact, it is still classified as a structure, and in terms of material, it belongs to the living structure system.
Organic and inorganic, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, the Tomb Kings of Warhammer prefer to use obsidian as the main material for golems and other structures, while dwarves are accustomed to using stone and metal, and wood elves prefer to use wood.
Due to the need for deformation, the mounts of the four people do not wear armor, only saddles, and they themselves do not wear armor, but the clothing looks more local customs, not as dazzling as the original.
In fact, they were protected by armor, inner armor like corsetes, and they wore them inside. Not long ago, I strengthened it with the magical substance obtained from the dimensional stone.
Kane has a habit of picking up garbage with radiation, but he does not have a miser habit, and as long as he has it, he is willing to use it and let it be useful. He also painted cakes for Hermione and the others, and if he could get more magical substances later, he would make a suitable ring for each of them.
This succeeded in making Hermione happy and made them more interested in the rest of their journey. Otherwise, with a woman's temperament, she is really not very interested in the matter of blood snorting, even if Hermione has seen a lot of this, she is only forced, not that she is addicted to this path to the throne of bones.
Iron and blood, war and glory, this is the romance of the male. Of course, most of the time there are only waves, not waves.
Naturally, the Lebowitz family had their own carriage, which was very local and also called an ironclad car, which was small and thin in comparison. But people also have the dignity and reserve of others.
The costumes and weapons of the four Guardian Knights were similarly shabby.
In fact, their armament is already the first class of the Thor Collar. Wearing leather armor and iron armor on the outside, he wields a knight's sword, shield, and a spear with streamers instead of spears. It is equipped with the same equipment as the Thor Assault Regiment, which is known as the strongest armed force in the Thor Command, and is even a retired veteran of the corps.
The Thor assault cavalry, in the entire province of Thor, is only two brigades, with a total of more than 300 people.
As for why there are so many soldiers, it is naturally because they can't afford to raise them. In this era, in Solling, a full-time assault soldier spends about the sum of the value that 10 families can create in a year.
Note that it is the sum of values, not the taxes paid by 10 households. The empire was no match for Bretonnia on the other side of the Grey Mountains, where the peasants were not human at all.
Bretonnia adopted an eleventh tax for the peasants, and the specific explanation was: 10 percent of the income, 1 percent for himself, and 9 percent for the payment. And in the territory that can really be implemented according to this system, the peasants have to praise the mercy of the lord.
Kane also thought at one point that he had misheard or mistaken the information.
It's not scientific! 1% of the farmland income belongs to himself, which is definitely not enough to eat! Later, he confirmed that this was the case, and he also complained about the Warhammer World Creation God G:
How much do you British otakators have to hate the French to play the Spiritual Victory Method in such a way?
But when I think of it, there is a saying in the East called 'Anti-Japanese drama, tearing devils.'" And he was relieved.
Back to the empire, the empire is very Shine, that is, the Holy Roman Empire of the earth, again, neither sacred, nor imperial (there was no expansion in the long years, and two provinces and a dominion were bitten away), but compared to Rome, the provinces were self-controlled, and the elector gave birth to the emperor, according to the original historical line, this set will be played for hundreds of years.
Everyone knows the characteristics of ancient Rome, military exploits change lives, strive to be a free citizen, and veterans are the sharpest. But specifically, different provinces have their own characteristics.
Thor is the southern frontier of the empire, and the land is actually not bad, but the gray mountains in the west and the black mountains in the south have beastmen (also known as half-orcs) and green skins dominated by Goble (crazy and fierce and somewhat small and strong goblins) active, which is why even farms like Croppen have village walls.
In this era of low productivity, even if it is an earth wall with tamped earth, it costs a lot of money, but it must be there, otherwise there is no basic sense of security, how can we talk about production?
The Sol Territory, which is mainly engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry, has to consume about 5,000 farmers' taxes just to feed the Sol Assault Regiment.
Such a price is undoubtedly a heavy burden, but it is necessary, and this rapid force can provide timely support, have a practical effect, and can also reassure people's hearts.
But where this cavalry is now, it's hard to say.
"Maybe you can meet it in Worcesterburg, after all, the beastmen have besieged it since yesterday. ”
This was information from the family that Hermione had rescued, they were the freedmen of Worcesterburg, who had their own land and houses outside the city, and there was a plague in the city, and a large number of beastmen came from outside the city, and they fled to Cropen's side, only to run into the nezumi again.
As for fighting the beastmen, to be honest, Kane is not interested, and the typical people of those guys are poor and hard-boned, and even the physical body is low due to the unstable genetic structure.
He can also make surprise goods, but his luck is never good, and he may not be able to catch up......
