Chapter 53 Arms Ban
The orcs surrendered, and the front door of the Southern Chamber of Commerce was lost.
More skeletons poured into the courtyard, and the site that had been used to store goods temporarily was filled with lord troops armed with weapons.
If you look closely, you will see that these terrifying-looking undead creatures are not really elite.
Many of the skeletons had no decent weapons, and were only armed with sharpened wooden spears or thick wooden maces.
If the attacking skeleton troops had been equipped with armor and more metal weapons, Sadaka's resistance would not have gone so smoothly.
Even so, in order to give the troops more weapons, Vincent not only distributed all the weapons in the castle warehouse to his subordinates, but also put many armor weapons as decorations into battle.
In addition to searching her own home, Shni Coolster's Boulder Chamber of Commerce also provided some weapons.
Unfortunately, although the barbarians are proficient in combat, as merchants, they cannot prepare a lot of weapons, and they are not suitable for skeletons.
The main business of the Megalithic Chamber of Commerce is wood and paper, and there are only two blacksmith workshops.
In the end, Vincent also secretly persuaded the captain of the garrison, Essen, to get a batch of weapons from the garrison guarding the city walls.
Since the mercenaries of the garrison have decided to remain neutral in the conflict, it is better to show a harmless posture.
But in the final analysis, although the number of the lord's troops was not worrying, the quantity and quality of weapons and equipment did not satisfy him.
Vincent didn't think about rubbing his weapon by hand, but when he practiced it, he found unexpected difficulties.
Making a simple cold weapon, in terms of technology and craftsmanship, is it not more difficult than making a toy?
The metal and other materials needed were also obtained by Vincent through friendly merchants.
Everything was ready, long before Ninia began to infiltrate the plan, Vincent gritted his teeth and unlocked the "Iron Crafts Processing Skill" with 2,000 points of protection, and spent nearly 2,000 points to upgrade it to lv3.
Now that you've got the skills to craft weapons and armor, it's time to turn into a humanoid machining center and build a fleet of ordnance for your army of skeletons.
Skeletons are not afraid of pain, do not care about comfort, and do not need ergonomic equipment at all.
As long as the weapons are durable enough and the armor is strong enough, it will make their combat effectiveness much stronger.
The soldiers who can wear armor in these years can already be regarded as elite troops. Even many of His Majesty's legions of the Demon King do not have a 100% armor rate.
Eager to do so, Vincent chose a simple and durable saber based on the dominant armor styles of the era.
[Boost: 9300/9300]
[Recovery time: 0.6 days]
[Next level: 10000]
[Next Level Upgrade Reward: Reduces the speed of protection value consumption by 10%]
Due to the fact that Vincent did not actively promote the small toys after the competition, and only relied on some sales, the increase in protection value was limited, resulting in the value still not exceeding the 10,000 point mark.
"System, how much protection does this armor need?"
A set of armor includes an iron helmet, a full breastplate, not including the back - the skeleton will only move forward anyway.
With this level of equipment, a small factory with stamping equipment can produce it in large quantities.
"500 points."
"Oh, 500 points...... Wait a minute! Vincent didn't think it was right at first, but immediately felt wrong, "Is this helmet made of gold, or is the cuirass made of gold?" ”
"Look, is there anyone in this city willing to give you armor? This is all specially approved by the gods, you are too much, I am too much. ”
"Let me rub a set."
"Okay. Are you sure you want this style? ”
"Do you have a warranty on this armor?"
"Do you want it......"
That's certainly ...... I don't want it!
A set of armor will cost 500 points of protection, and even if Vincent's protection value is full, he can rub a dozen sets a day at most.
Even if you prepare for a few days, you may only be able to get dozens of sets of armor, and that is still without shortage of materials.
I didn't dare to start a group to brush the wild boar skin of the Ming Dynasty with thirteen pairs of armor, this bit of armor was not enough to suppress bandits.
"How much does this knife cost to protect me?"
Vincent asked, picking up a clumsy broad-bladed broadsword, already a little suspicious in his heart.
"400 points of protection."
"You're deliberately finding fault, aren't you?" Vincent yelled at the system, "I picked up this broken knife in the cellar, and it costs 400 points to rub it?" ”
"The gods don't like war, and war only makes people miserable, and it doesn't increase faith." The system was also frank and directly confessed to Vincent, "All war-related artifacts are under the hostility of the gods. ”
"But weapons are also a representation of advanced technology," Vincent argued, "and they can protect peace, promote development, and make more people happy." ”
"As a warlike demon, are you qualified to say such beautiful things?" The system asked with disdain, "The people you kill will only hate all the weapons you use." ”
"The craftsman god doesn't prohibit the crafting of weapons, does he?" Vincent remembered one thing, "The 'Louis XVI Happy Table' I made didn't consume much protection!" ”
"It's just a model, and it's not really capable of killing." The system calmly replied, "Now go and rub it for real and see what happens?" ”
"In other words, if I rub my weapon in my hand, it will consume several times the protection of items with a similar skill level, right?" Vincent pondered for a moment and asked tentatively, "This doesn't mean it's forbidden. ”
"You're right. But I have to warn you that if you create more than a certain amount, the cost of fortifications will increase considerably, or you will be pleasantly surprised by the ability that is directly locked. ”
The threat of the system made Vincent feel extremely passive.
These words are probably what the craftsman God told him directly through the mouth of the system.
After all, the Craftsman God held the higher authority of the system, and he relied on his personal principled likes and dislikes to set up obstacles to Vincent's expansion plan.
Armed with a sharp weapon, the murderous intent arises.
In fact, Vincent didn't believe that weapons could bring joy either, but he needed them if he wanted to live now.
Unfortunately, even if you increase your protection value, it will be difficult to break through the limit of the scope of use of the craftsman.
What's more, his protection value is so valuable, rather than making some tools that don't have to be made through divine power, what he wants to do is to unlock as many skills as possible in the early stage, so that the types of production are more abundant.
It is extremely difficult to convince the gods, even if they are as down-and-out as craftsmen, it is not an existence that can be talked to on an equal footing by beings of Vincent's level.
In the absence of a solution, Vincent could only temporarily dismiss the idea of rubbing his weapon.
It may not be possible to use so many well-equipped troops to deal with the merchants' armament, but Vincent's desire to quell the rebellion, or to deal with future threats, will certainly be difficult to support without sufficiently powerful equipment.
Who knows when Herod's army will invade its territory under the banner of reconquistaking......
Craftsmanship and protection are not omnipotent, and if you want to live a comfortable life of playthings, it will not be smooth sailing.
If you can't rub the weapons, then confiscating the merchant's workshop and raw materials to become self-reliant is the only option.
The weapon is not produced by itself, so the god should not be able to control it...... Right?
In order to successfully quell the rebellion and stabilize the territory in the future, this guy Luke must become his own stepping stone.
"Rush in with the orcs! Those who do not lay down their arms and raise their hands to surrender, those who dare to resist, and those who run around will be killed! ”
Vincent, who was eager to raid the house, commanded the troops to go on a rampage, turning the entire chamber of commerce upside down.
With the harpy in the sky, the demon dogs in the ground, and the ubiquitous spirits, Luke's mercenaries can't escape or hide.
In less than a few moments, the gang suffered heavy casualties, and the rest fell to the ground and surrendered.
However, there are a lot of mercenaries and men, and they also carry a lot of weapons that cannot be sold, so it still takes some time.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luke took his cronies and family members and fled desperately for his life.
The outside of the Chamber of Commerce has long been surrounded by water, and the heavens and the earth are Vincent's territory, and he still has no way out in the end.
Finally, in a garden behind the Chamber of Commerce, Vincent's skeletons and monsters blocked Luke and his gang with no way out.
