Chapter 172: The Flying Crane Empire is coming
In addition, there is also the flintlock device of the flintlock rifle, which is also very difficult to do, and the general fine iron construction is not good, and good steel must be used to ensure the success rate of fire.
Agukos also didn't expect that this small spring must be made of good steel, you must know that the Xuangu Continent is no better than Oranxing, under the suppression of the fierce beasts, the technology here has not only not improved over the years, but has regressed.
The same is true in the smelting of steel, if you want to make good steel, you can basically only rely on luck, and you can only produce tens of thousands of catties of steel at most in a year.
Tens of thousands of catties of steel sounds like a lot, but in fact, it is not enough at all, after all, to build a weapon, you have to use up several catties of steel! Now that there are more springs on the flintlock mechanism that need this steel, it is even more stretched.
For this reason, Agukos had to ask Ling Feng, the little emperor, for help, and asked the other party to think of a way to see if he could scavenge some more steel from all over the country.
Ling Feng also knew that Agukos was doing all this now to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, so he immediately began to collect steel from all over the country, and purchased it at a high price at any cost.
In addition, he asked the troops in various places to see if there were any of the scrapped weapons and armor, and if they could recycle some of the steel on them.
And it was only after this order that Ling Feng suddenly discovered that most of the warehouses of the armies in various places were actually empty, and even the weapons and armor that many soldiers had originally issued were not complete.
Ling Feng was furious and sent many cronies to investigate strictly, only to find that these weapons, armor, grain and grass had already been secretly sold by the commanders of those troops.
And when the commanders of these troops sent people to investigate, they all slipped away early.
Then check down the next one, these guys all have various relationships with the prime minister Du Geng, and many of them were promoted all the way to the top.
At this point in the investigation of the facts, Ling Feng finally understood that it was the former prime minister who was playing tricks on all this, and he said, how could those rebels burst out with so many armies and armor at once! And where did the millions of armies get their food and grass? It turns out that this is actually from his Golden Eagle Empire!
That Prime Minister Du Geng is also worthy of being a scheming old fox, in order to take revenge on the Golden Eagle Empire, he is about to hollow out the foundation of the entire Golden Eagle Empire quietly.
After understanding all this, Ling Feng was said to be so angry that he vomited several mouthfuls of blood, and then fainted on the spot, and it took a long time before he woke up under the rescue of the imperial doctor.
However, Agukos didn't feel too angry about this, after all, he knew very well that Ling Feng, a young man who had just ascended the throne, couldn't fight the old fox at all.
If it weren't for the fact that Du Geng didn't have a grandmaster-level high-end combat power in his hands, the other party would have rebelled in person.
This incident was only a small disturbance for Agucos, and he soon continued to devote himself to his busy work.
In addition to those firearms, Agukos also wanted to create a heavy cavalry unit, after all, in the battle with the Blue Dragon Empire, the opponent's heavy cavalry unit was the one that impressed him the most in addition to the firearms unit.
In the Golden Eagle Empire, there is naturally a fierce beast like a six-legged iron hoof beast to live, but because the Golden Eagle Empire has always attached the most importance to the air force, coupled with the strength of the six-legged iron hoof, the temper is short-tempered, and the domestication is very difficult, so it did not spend energy to capture and domesticate this kind of fierce beast and form a heavy cavalry unit.
Now that he has seen the power of the heavy cavalry, Agukos naturally will not let such a good beast resource not be used anymore.
Because this six-legged iron hoof beast has at least the level of acquired sevenfold strength when it becomes an adult, if you want to capture this thing, you have to send elites.
For this reason, Agukos asked Ling Feng to transfer some Janissaries in the imperial capital to himself, the combat effectiveness of these Praetorian Guards in the imperial capital is comparable to the field elite under Guo Dafu's, and most of them are still air forces, with these elite soldiers, Agukos believes that he will be able to successfully capture a large number of six-legged iron hoofed beasts, and then form the Golden Eagle Empire's own heavy cavalry troops.
In addition, the iron-backed boar, Agukos is also ready to capture some, after all, although he can also see that those boar chariots have high requirements for the terrain, they must be in the plain terrain to fully exert their power, but since the enemy has these troops, the Golden Eagle Empire is naturally not less.
And since the strength of the iron-backed boar as an adult is much weaker than that of the six-legged ironhoof, and its running speed is far inferior to the six-legged ironhoof, it is much easier to catch, and it can be done by sending ordinary soldiers, but there is no need for Agucos to put more effort into it.
Now he needed to take action to capture the six-legged ironhoof, but when Agukoth led five thousand Praetorian Guards to the first habitat of the six-legged ironhoof, he was surprised to find that there were other people who were also here to capture these fierce beasts.
And these people are still very strong, the weakest ones have the appearance of the acquired ninefold, and with the tacit understanding, it is difficult for those six-legged iron hoof beasts to escape their pursuit, and the six-legged iron hoofs that have been captured seem to have more than a thousand heads.
Just when Agukoth wanted to send someone to inquire about the identity of those people, as soon as these guys saw Agukos and them, they immediately rode away on those six-legged iron hoofs.
Seeing this, Agucos immediately sent his men to intercept it, because most of these Janissaries were due to the air force, so they finally succeeded in intercepting most of them and the six-legged iron hoof.
Then after some interrogation, it turned out that these people were all the disciples of Prime Minister Du Geng, who were ordered to come and capture these six-legged iron hoof beasts, and then sell them to the Blue Dragon Empire and those rebels at a low price.
In addition, Du Geng also sent them to capture a lot of flying beasts and a fierce beast called the iron scale wildebeest, those flying beasts are obviously used to strengthen the air power of those rebel forces, and the iron scale wildebeest is a kind of fierce beast whose strength is a little worse than that of the six-legged iron hoof, but it is also suitable for domestication into cavalry mounts.
According to these guys, during this time, they have already delivered more than 30,000 six-legged iron hoof beasts, 100,000 iron-scaled wildebeests, and 200,000 various flying beasts to the Blue Dragon Empire and other rebel forces.
After listening to this guy's confession, Agukos couldn't help but sigh, the other traitors are at most digging some corners of the empire, and Du Geng, this guy, is going to directly hollow out the foundation of the empire, it is not enough to get so many weapons, armor and grain and grass before, and now he has sent his own disciples to capture the fierce beasts in the empire, and after being so hoked by the other party for a while, he doesn't know how many six-legged iron hoofed beasts he can catch!
Different from Agucos's depression, Guo Dafu was in a very good mood at this time, because he had just successfully completed a deal with the people sent by Du Geng, and bought two thousand six-legged iron hoofed beasts and six thousand iron-scaled wildebeests from the other party, as well as eight thousand flying beasts of various kinds.
The weakest beast in this has the strength of the acquired quadruple, as for the iron-scaled wildebeest, the strength is generally at the level of the acquired five-fold, although it is not as strong as the six-legged iron hoof, but its physical strength and endurance are also very good, it is still possible to use it as a light cavalry mount, and he can also use these iron-scaled wildebeest to form a light armored cavalry unit, this real light armored archer, in fact, is the most cost-effective archery cavalry troops, come and go like the wind, you can use the advantage of mobility to constantly fly kites, Then use the bow and arrow to bleed the enemy, and when the enemy's physical strength and strength are almost exhausted, the heavy cavalry can launch a charge and crush the enemy in one fell swoop.
And those flying beasts, the types are very complicated, Guo Dafu is ready to give them to those meritorious soldiers who intend to become the air force to enhance their own air power.
For Guo Dafu's policy, those players are very supportive, and many players have simply transferred to the Air Force.
After all, compared to the army red deer, this air force will look much taller at first glance!
In Guo Dafu's opinion, Du Geng, the former prime minister of the Golden Eagle Empire, is simply a fortune boy! If the other party is willing to come to work for him, he must reuse the other party well.
It's a pity that after the death of his son Du Xiucheng, the other party seems to be disheartened, and he has no intention of becoming a leader, and now his biggest wish is to destroy the Golden Eagle Empire and make Ling Feng, the dog emperor, the king of the dead country.
Guo Dafu said that he would definitely satisfy the other party's wish, presumably after the Golden Eagle Empire was destroyed, Ling Feng's expression would be very exciting, and Du Geng's murderous revenge was really ruthless enough.
And it is precisely because the Qinglong Empire is now strong and strong, and even the air force has been strengthened a lot with the help of Du Geng, so Guo Dafu has the idea of making the troops move.
As a result, not long after he set off with 500,000 field elites and 1 million undead soldiers, he encountered a group of people claiming to be emissaries of the Flying Crane Empire on the way.
Guo Dafu of the Flying Crane Empire also knew that it was a force established by the ancient crane, or a fierce beast country that belonged to him in its recovery.
Compared with the brutal suppression of the human race by the three existing fierce beast empires, the Feihe Empire's attitude towards the human race is much better, at least it can be treated the same as the beast race, so there were many human masters who followed Gu He back then.
It's a pity that with the destruction of the Flying Crane Empire by the Golden Eagle Empire, those Terran masters who followed Gu He were also killed, and only one of Gu He's daughters survived under Gu He's strength.
Gu He's daughter is named Qinghe, born to Gu He and a human woman with excellent talent, and she is much older than Ling Zhi, and she is already more than three hundred years old.
However, his cultivation talent was not as strong as Ling Zhi's, so although he was already more than three hundred years old, he was only barely breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm now.
In order to show the importance he attached to this mission to the Blue Dragon Empire, Gu He sent his daughter as the leader of the mission.
Guo Dafu also wanted to know what the other party's intention was in sending an envoy over at this time, so he asked the army to temporarily stop advancing, and after camping in place, he met Qinghe and others in the camp tent.
Unlike most of the soldiers of the Golden Eagle Empire, who were wearing golden armor, most of the soldiers of the Flying Crane Empire were wearing silver-white armor.
And Her Royal Highness Qinghe, the princess of the Flying Crane Empire, is wearing a delicate cyan armor, this set of armor is obviously a very high-level extraordinary equipment, the cyan light on it is constantly circulating, and it seems to be able to automatically adjust according to the size of the owner's body, making the whole set of armor very close to his body, showing his slender and tall perfect figure.
Guo Dafu secretly sensed it, and felt that this set of armor was even higher than his Dragon Elephant Emperor Armor. I thought to myself that Gu He was indeed worthy of being a powerhouse who had once established a huge empire of his own in this Central Continent! This is indeed a good foundation.
And when Guo Dafu was looking at Qinghe, the Qinghe was also secretly looking at the emperor of the Qinglong Empire, and what made Qinghe a little disappointed was that he found that the other party's eyes seemed to be more focused on the armor on his body, but he didn't look at her face.
You must know that Qinghe is also a little confident in her appearance, she is different from Ling Zhi, she has more fierce beast blood in her body, and even maintained a fierce beast form when she was born, and later broke through to the realm of grandmasters, only then did she successfully transform into a shape, and in the process of transformation, she also adjusted her appearance well, in terms of beauty alone, she is much better than Ling Zhi, but unfortunately His Majesty, the emperor of the Blue Dragon Empire, is disdainful of this.
