Chapter 231: Reinforcement

Everything in the secret passage was resealed by Du Wei. But those corpses ...... With the bones of the metal sèze, Du Wei resisted the feeling of disgust and handed them over to Gargamel.

"You're responsible for cleaning these things...... And then we do a good job of researching it. ”

After coming out of the secret passage, Gargamel led Dewey to the reserve warehouse.

After the city of Gilliat was converted into a factory, the main product of the city is the pure element of fire invented by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

This is something that is refined from fire phosphograss as the main raw material. At present, Du Wei has opened up a sealed shed in the city to grow fire phosphorus grass. Fortunately, this magical plant is tenacious, and the arid place in the northwest is also particularly suitable for the growth of this plant.

At Duwey's behest, Solskjaer broke down the method of refining the fire phosphorus grass into several different procedures and handed it over to the slaves below. In this way, the yield and efficiency are greatly improved, and at the same time, the different program steps are decomposed, and the secrets of production are not revealed, because unless all the programs are brought together...... Otherwise, if you take it out alone, even these hands-on workers don't know what they're making.

The reserve warehouse was buried underground, because the gunpowder extracted was a dangerous thing, especially a large number of high-purity fire elements, although they were sealed in clay pots, the concentration of fire elements in this world was higher than the gunpowder that Du Wei knew in his previous life. It's even more dangerous, and if it's not well stocked, a little Mars can cause disaster. Therefore, burying it in the ground and avoiding the sun is the best choice.

Pushing open the door of the warehouse, the cellar was full of clay pots, these black clay pots were very crudely made, but Du Wei didn't care about them. His expression was cautious, slightly nervous.

If there is a little accident here that causes a fire...... In the midst of these tons of gunpowder. Seriously, even a great mage will be blown up to the point that there are no bones left!

"I made the wire according to your request. Gargamel opened a box in the corner: "Tried a lot. Fallen vine is the most suitable for acting as a wire, and it is naturally dry and easy to ignite. Moreover, it is very stable. I've said cotton thread, but that kind of thing is susceptible to cháo. But this depraved flower vine is different, even if you throw it into the water, don't worry. ”

Gargamel laughed, "I can think about it...... When such a clay pot is inserted with a flower vine in its mouth, it then ignites one end and throws it far into the enemy's camp. What will it be? ”

However, Gargamel frowned and said, "It's just, how far can this thing be thrown? unless it's Hercules...... What are you going to do if you don't have to throw it away? Do you use a catapult? But the catapult is very unstable, and if something happens in the process, it will kill your own people!"

Du Wei smiled: "Why do you have to vote? Can't you throw it from the sky?"

After a pause, he looked at the clay pots in the warehouse, which were stacked almost to the ceiling. Then he said, "Now take me to see the ...... Broom. ”

The Broomstick is currently the most expensive magical equipment produced in the workshop in Gilliat!

Because this invention of the old madman Erico, although it has the significance of subversing xìng...... But actually. It still inherits the usual characteristics of the invention of this old madman - flashy!

To put it simply, every time this guy invents something, he wants to use it as a substitute for some rare substance...... But what he invented was often more expensive and scarce than the original!

The same goes for brooms.

Although this broom can store mana without any magic crystals...... It is already an epoch-making subversive significance. But the problem lies in the broomfield itself!

This kind of flying broom is not something that can be made by just pricking a dead branch! It must be made of walnut wood that is fifty years old! Everyone knows that walnut is an extremely rare tree on the Roland Continent...... I don't know if it's because of some underlying biological rule, but in the world of Du Wei's previous life, the common walnut trees are extremely rare in this world, and it is extremely difficult to cultivate.

Walnut, especially fifty-year-old walnut, is the best material for storing magic besides magic crystals, so it is often used to make good wands - not even wealthy magicians can afford to equip such pure walnut wands!

What's more, the walnut used to make the broomstick is not an ordinary walnut. According to the invention of the elder Erric, he actually created xìng using various techniques of synthesis and grafting...... Grafting techniques were common in Du Wei's previous life, but they are scarce in this world.

Alley Sr. used the technique of grafting to create a variant of the walnut tree, and Du Wei happened to get a few seedlings from Alley Sr.

And it's for this reason...... Seth, the magical genius who had talked to Dewey about cultivating multi-breed walnut trees, no one in the Magic Guild appreciated him, but Dewey saw his preciousness at a glance!

Because it is impossible for Du Wei to recruit the noble Master Erik to specially formulate this mixed breed of mutant walnut tree, then Seth is the only best candidate!

From this point of view, this big-headed genius is hard to find!

The cultivation of this mutant variety has made Seth very nervous, and the difficulty of surviving the seedlings is a huge problem...... Even in the case of the passage of time, every time it is cultivated, it is nine times out of ten. It can be said that the time passage spring in Du Wei's hands, and Seth is definitely the largest black hole to consume.

In another reserve warehouse, Gargamel eliminated a magic circle that had been set up outside, and cautiously pushed open the door and ushered Dewey inside.

"These things are really piled up from the spring water of the passage of time, if you calculate the price in the market...... Every broom. Just this mutated walnut of its own is at least more than 100,000 gold coins! hell...... What are you doing with so many broomsticks? You might as well get a few more flying cloaks. ”

Du Wei smiled slightly, and said lightly: "With any new technology, the development process is always the most expensive...... But it's so much better now, isn't it?"

Gargamel was silent for a moment before agreeing with Du Wei's statement: "Yes, in the beginning, cultivating this mutant plant was the most troublesome, but after many experiments, a lot of spring water was wasted. We finally found the most delicate balance, and then it was much more efficient. Make this thing later. It costs much less. ”

"So, on average. The cost of the Broomstick is still lower than that of the Poncho made of Mana Crystals. Du Wei sighed.

In the room, on the wall is a row of jīng beautiful shelves, on which are hung rows and rows of ...... Broom.

The dark red walnut wood glows faintly in the room, and the hilt of each broom is carved extremely beautiful and smooth, and fine patterns are also carved on it...... These are the patterns of the Wind Magic Array.

"These wind magic arrays are drawings that I made with my own hands, and then handed them over to a group of carvers. Carved on the handle step by step, you can rest assured that all those craftsmen got was a broom handle, and no one knew what this thing was...... Broom. ”

Finally, Gargamel took a long time out of his bosom and pulled out a piece of parchment. It was densely filled with all kinds of data and handed it over to Du Wei.

"This is the final data for the final test of this batch of products, which Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Seth have flown in. It works well...... It's just that Solskjaer's kid is a fool, he has a very smart brain, but his actual cāo skills are so poor that he almost broke his neck...... In fact, this thing is very simple to fiddle with, as long as you can ride a horse, you can ride this thing to the sky. ”

Du Wei glanced at the final result in his hand.

The development of the flying broom made Du Wei very satisfied. At present, it seems that due to the limited availability of materials and the passage of time, the spring water has run out, and only fifty brooms have been made in the first batch. And according to the test flight, the wind magic array depicted on each broom has a strong efficiency. The head of the broom handle has a small six-pointed star pattern, as long as you ride on the broomstick, grasp the part of the six-pointed star with your hand, and then inject magic power, you can trigger a magic circle.

The current broomstick, which can carry the weight of about two adult men, is almost twice as fast as a horse in terms of speed, and lasts for a ...... It's up to you how long your magic lasts.

"Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's wretch, he can stick to a meal. ”

That's enough.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's true strength is just a magic apprentice.

"My lord, do you really want to do this?" Standing on top of the city, Robert Knight's face was a little ugly.

But Du Wei's expression in front of him was firm, and he didn't look like a joke at all.

"But...... Your injuries ......"

"Dear Robert Knight, don't forget, I'm a magician. Du Wei stretched his body casually: "For a magician, this little injury is not difficult to heal. And...... I have to get out!"

"It's too dangerous!" Robert still strongly disagreed: "You are now in the fate of everyone, you are our commander, you are the flag, if you encounter the slightest accident...... It's hard for me to imagine the consequences!In fact, your solo assault last night would have prevented you from doing so anyway if I had been there!"

Du Wei sighed and pointed to the city.

The sun had risen high, and under the sun, the steppe people's tents looked more clear, people shouted horses neighing, and if Du Wei used eagle eye skills, he could even see the steppe warriors sitting in the camp sharpening their swords!

"Last night's sneak attack worked, killing a shaman...... made their momentum fall sharply. But the steppe people will definitely not retreat easily when the army of the steppe people sneaks up this time. Look, by the time they have lunch, they'll be back in the picture. Du Wei looked worried: "Robert." You know very well how much money we have, and our entire army combined is only more than 20,000 people...... And most of them are scattered all over the place, and our cavalry is only 3,000 in total! 3,000 men, do you think under normal conditions can we crush 20,000 steppe wolves? Can we crush these guys on horseback? We need surprise soldiers! So, I have to go out...... There is a way to break the enemy. ”

After a pause, Du Wei smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry, their shaman wizard was killed by me last night." When I go out, I come and go. The steppe people can't stop me. ”

Robert said, "My lord, what I'm worried about is not that you will be intercepted! You shouldn't be fighting on the front line! It's not the boss's responsibility! I prefer you to stay in the city, in the Doge's Palace!"

Dewey did not argue with Robert about this any longer, but simply ordered: "At the latest, you must light a fire at the head of the city, and I will be able to see the fire and the black smoke ten miles away! Just before evening, to ensure that the city walls are still erected with tulip flags!"

After speaking, Du Wei's body had floated up gently.

Robert sighed, made a knightly salute to Du Wei, and watched Du Wei fly into the sky.

Du Wei was right. When he flew up from the top of the city and crossed the sky above the steppe people's camp, many steppe cavalry spotted Du Wei in the sky. However, after last night's sneak attack, under the broad daylight sun, the steppe people were on guard, and some of the sharpest strong archers immediately drew their bows and made a quick round of shè against the sky. These strong archers on the grassland, known as being able to drop eagles with one arrow, are extremely good at archery, and even Du Wei can't raise the height and quickly fly over.

He ran out of mana last night, and after the mana in the multicolored stone ring was exhausted, it was not possible to replenish it in such a short time, and the mana he recovered at this moment was only five or six percent of his own. I really can't afford to launch a massive thunder summon anymore.

In the opposite direction of the city, Du Wei went all the way.

"What did that Tulip Duke do?"

The Golden Wolf Guard will stand under his tent and look at Du Wei in the distance with a somber face, this extremely tall giant, standing on the ground, more than two heads taller than his companions.

"Lord Guard, maybe he ran away. A steppe man sneered: "There are not many people in the city, and we will be able to break through the city wall sooner or later." ”

"Idiot. The Golden Wolf Guard General pursed his lips, and a hint of absoluteness flashed in Yīn's eyes: "He must have gone to move reinforcements......!" Send four hundred-man teams to search the rear and tighten the guard. And also...... Prepare the warriors at once, and the gates must be breached today before dark!!Either way, the shaman is dead in our army...... For the loss of a noble shaman, what kind of punishment will we receive when we return? Only by taking this city desperately can we have the opportunity to ask the king for mercy and mercy!"

Under the sun, Knight Robert standing at the head of the city looked at the dense ant-like steppe people under the city, and the scimitars one by one shone shone with a dazzling cold light under the sun!

"Hold on until the evening!" Robert suddenly drew his long sword, slashed down on the battlements in front of him, and shouted, "Hold on!!"

The soldiers and lieutenants around him all drew their long swords, and everyone shouted at the same time: "Long live the tulips!!

Du Wei flew all the way out of seven or eight miles in the direction he had come, and then lowered his altitude and carefully searched for his team.

Finally, next to a low and loose forest, someone saw Du Wei in the sky, and immediately ran out and waved his hands at Du Wei in the sky. Du Wei lowered his height and saw that it was Zig, the captain of the magic students.

The 800 men brought by Du Wei were hidden in this wood, and they listened to Du Wei's orders and retreated all the way here to prevent being discovered by the wolf cavalry scouts of the steppe people.

Du Wei fell to the ground, and Ziggy saw that Du Wei was intact, and then he was greatly relieved: "Lord Dean, it's great to see that you are safe! It's just that you didn't let us wait here for the fire signal in the direction of Gilliat City? Why did you come in person?"

Du Wei patted Zieg on the shoulder: "I don't have time to explain!"

With that, Du Wei followed him into the woods.

In the woods, the Tulip cavalry dismounted and sat on the ground, but everyone was well guarded, and some climbed the trees to observe the distance. Although this forest is relatively loose, it is enough to hide a thousand people and eight hundred.

Du Wei saw Gaida's little two hundred and five, this guy had a dusty face, and when he saw Du Wei, he immediately pounced, hugged Du Wei, and shouted: "My lord! Your Excellency! You're so good here! Hell, I really wanted to kill these guys just now! I actually dared to let you go into the city alone! This is really too risky!!"

Next to him is Gaida's lieutenant general, when Gaida was ordered to move reinforcements, this lieutenant general was responsible for leading the team, but looking at his appearance, there were blood stains on the corners of his mouth, obviously he had been taught a hard lesson by Gaida.

"Okay Gaida, I'm going to go in on my own, and it's none of their business. Du Wei smiled: "Your subordinates are all excellent soldiers, and they have no merit. And...... It's not that I'm not without gains, I took out a shaman. ”

As he spoke, Du Wei immediately asked, "What about you? When did you arrive? Did we bring all our people?"

"No, sir. Gaida looked ashamed: "I only found 800 people led by Lord Alpha...... The other two teams, General Longbottom, I've not found...... Time was running out too much for me to go far, and ...... You asked me to have to get here today. So ......"

Gaida suddenly knelt down on one knee: "I didn't fulfill your order, please punish me!"

Du Wei shook his head: "I didn't take into account the actual situation when I gave the order, and it's already rare that you can bring back a team of people." Alpha Knight?"

When Du Wei looked around for the Alpha Guard, he didn't find Alpha.

He ...... When I heard that you had entered the city alone, you were furious, and the large army that had broken away alone went to the front to inquire about the news. ”

Du Wei's heart moved, Uncle Alpha ...... He's still worried about himself. However, with Alpha's strength, it shouldn't be dangerous to find out the news.

Time was pressing, and Du Wei was about to say something, but Gaida suddenly whispered, "My lord...... I didn't find the other two teams, but I did bring some ...... Guest. ”

"Guest?"

Gaida glanced at him, and Du Wei immediately looked into the depths of the forest, and sure enough, he saw a group of soldiers wearing different armor, these were also cavalry, but unlike the armor of the Tulip family's army, these people were wearing the armor of the local garrison of the Empire, and the chest was also embroidered with the pattern of thorn flowers.

In fact, Du Wei's army is nothing more than the family's private army, and these people are the real imperial official army.

"What's going on?" Du Wei was a little surprised, because these guys seemed to have quite a few people, roughly looking like there were five or six hundred.

"They are the troops of the Governor of Bohan in Nurein. Gaida replied in a low voice.

Du Wei raised an eyebrow.
