II. The Heavenly Punishment of the Scarlet Leaf Forest Chapter 57 New Weapons
The young man didn't expect that after only two days of going out, Lydia had already captured Elder Ramon of the Korsun tribe alive.
People celebrated with crowns and toasts, and the dwarven craftsmen even proposed to build a bronze statue of Lydia to commemorate the event, as is traditional.
However, this very tempting proposal was decisively rejected by Lydia: "If there are so many mines, how good it would be for you to build some weapons, why waste them on a statue." ”
The craftsmen laughed, they really didn't have a shortage of ore lately.
The Korson prisoners of war captured by Lydia were sent to the prisoner of war camp next to the mine by the Copper Hammer, where they became a supplementary labor force in the mine. Agung, who had just completed his apprenticeship, was responsible for providing them with three meals a day.
This made Agung's status suddenly increase a lot, and every time he shared a meal, it all depended on his mood. If a spoonful is full of wild vegetables, it won't taste much better. So the prisoners of war touted the chief's sycophant skills and coaxed him into laughter.
Only the stubborn leader was not only unwilling to work, but also spoke wildly all day long, and even Lydia could not do anything about him. Instead, the copper hammer had a flash of inspiration, and simply found a remote cellar for him to "talk to God". At the same time, it was announced in the prisoner-of-war camp that those who did not wish to accept labor could also choose to "listen to the oracle" with the chief.
Those Korsun people used to live in caves and hunt all day in the wilderness, and it was inevitable that they would be hungry for a few days. Now I mine during the day and rest at night, eat and drink three meals a day, and I feel very happy. Who would want to be locked up with a leader and begged and scolded all day long?
Thanks to these prisoners of war, mine production almost doubled.
Looking at the craftsmen smiling, Lydia secretly admired the copper hammer's active brain.
The craftsmen asked Lydia what kind of weapon she needed. While they're not very good at crafting weapons, they have Master Rowling with a whimsical mind.
Lydia drew a few sketches of ordinary standard weapons and asked them to show them to Rowling, but one day Rowling sent someone to send a message: "Your idea is too pedantic. ”
It's a shame, Lydia has never been scolded like this in her life. She was so angry that she really wanted to kick through the door of the workshop and scold her. For the sake of face, I had to hold my stomach and silently reduce the friendship between the two to "toilet paper sisters".
After another three or five days, Rowling suddenly invited Lydia to come over for her "new product launch" like a child who had picked up a beautiful seashell. Lydia didn't want to go, but Rowling rubbed her head against her stomach, which was really itching, so she was forced to come to the scene with obscenity and was asked to make an important speech.
The launch took place at the proving ground near the workshop, and Rowling invited not only Cruise, the brothers and sisters Dam, and several fighters to help demonstrate, but also invited Hammer and young people as guests. What puzzled Lydia was how she managed to get him to sit next to Lydia obediently.
The first product to appear first was an ordinary knight's round shield. This round shield is similar to Lydia's usual knight's shield, except that there is a notch at the top, and the right semicircle is equipped with a curved serrated blade.
Before anyone else could see it, Lydia was already screaming excitedly. As a knight, she immediately understood the value of the shield.
Most of the cavalry guns in this world use the pistol under the armpit to pierce the enemy's armor with the high-speed impact of the ride - this is naturally a technique brought by some traversers, but this form inevitably leads to the inflexibility of cavalry moves.
If you hold a gun in both hands, you are bound to give up the shield. And there are many soul attacks in this world, and it is difficult to keep yourself safe without an enchanted shield.
The gap at the top of Rowling's shield is just right to jam a long weapon, and although it can't completely replace a left-handed gun, its flexibility has been greatly improved. The serrations on the shield can directly attack close enemies, so that the cavalry does not have to give up their long weapons in order to draw their swords.
"Great!" Lydia clapped her hands excitedly, completely forgetting the shame of the previous days.
Encouraged by this, Rowling asks the Damm siblings to show off a second weapon.
It was a very normal spear, only slightly longer and with a longer blade than Lydia's. There is a pair of barbs at the tip of the spear at the tail and a strange card slot.
The Dam siblings made a handprint, and the two spears stretched out in their hands, and Lydia visually measured that they should be about five meters.
This made her can't help but get excited again.
When the army is arrayed, the longer the weapon, the better, but too long often loses flexibility. Her spear used to be sawn into two sections, but it was still not easy to assemble and disassemble, and the design of this soul mechanism was simply the result of her dreams.
The Dam siblings shortened the spear. Rowling walked up and took a short sword, inserted it into the card slot near the tip of the spear, and fixed it after a turn: "Lydia has three pole-handled weapons in the formation, but they lack the ability to fill positions, so I made some improvements. Upgrade the original 'hoe' to 'Zhange', which can not only smash like a hoe, but also stab like a spear. ”
Before Lydia could exclaim, Rowling's assistant had already removed the curved serrations from the shield and inserted them into the slot of another spear.
"This is the 'boring rake' you want, it is easier to parry the enemy's weapons than the grass rake, and it has stronger attack power." Pointing to the spear with horns, Rowling explained, "This way the three weapons can be switched freely to deal with different occasions and enemies. ”
"Oh oh oh!" Lydia lets out an exclamation like a hen laying eggs, and decides to upgrade her relationship with Rowling to the Polyethylene Sisters.
"I've also made some improvements to the shieldmen's weapons." Rowling invited Cruise to help with the demonstration, and the assistants behind her hurriedly brought in a few stout wooden stakes.
Cruise was carrying a wide and long sword with two anchor-like barbs at the tip. Holding a pitch-black iron shield in his left hand, he slowly walked out: "It is the glory of the shield guard that I can demonstrate the new weapon of the master craftsman. ”
As he spoke, he burst into tears.
Lydia subconsciously sniffed that there didn't seem to be any onions around.
While everyone was still curious, Cruise let out a low roar, drew his sword and slashed, the shield struck, and after turning over to defend, he suddenly buckled his sword to the top of the shield. The barb of the sword hung on the shield mechanism, and only a soft sound was heard, and the giant shield had been combined with the long sword.
The hidden blades on either side of the shield clicked out, and the weapon instantly turned into a huge battle axe that was long and heavy!
The bronze hammer looked at the side and his eyes were straight: "Mighty! Big! ”
Cruise slashed and swept away, and the huge tomahawk whirlwind destroyed several thigh-thick wooden stakes, so amazing that even Lydia was startled and clapped her hands again and again. After all, a weapon that can transform and be so powerful is unheard of by everyone present.
He just sat and watched, and if he hadn't kept his eyes open, Lydia would have thought he was asleep.
"Finally, it's the princess's order." Rowling's assistant pulled out two long, swarthy weapons, "I didn't understand this weapon at all, so I made it according to the sketch." ”
Lydia hurriedly thanked the "dearest sister" and introduced, "This weapon is the weapon used by the fierce generals of my world, called the 'Fang Tian Painting Halberd'. ”
Lydia lifted a halberd and pointed at the crescent sprig twice, "This weapon can stab, slash, parry, and even take away the opponent's weapon." It can be used for warfights, rakes, spears and even tomahawks. And these two pieces of equipment are gifts for the Damm siblings. ”
The Dahm siblings were not very good at talking, and when they heard that it was related to them, they stammered even more.
"The fact that the two of you can enter the martial arts with agricultural tools shows that you have enough talent; Being able to help your people in times of crisis is a testament to your courage. Lydia handed them the weapon, "I've already recommended you to Lord Buxiao, you have to continue to work hard to cultivate." ”
"The day after tomorrow." Bu Laugh gave Lydia's words an endorsement.
The expressions of the Damm siblings were overwhelmed with excitement.
