Chapter 19 Strangling Your Tenderness
"It's good that Schumpeter didn't develop here!" said Richard, with trepidation.
Lina also felt the same way, nodded her head, and said, "Now there is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"Whatever. "Richard doesn't care.
Lina tried to figure out Guò's way to get a small peek into Richard's character, but failed.
The good news is that we've got the complete Schumpeter base and most of the magicians and alchemists in it have surrendered to us. So if we have enough time, we will reap the fruits that should have belonged to Schumpeter. The bad news is that in the short term, I mean at least three years of Greenwood, we can't expect to get more products. In other words, the contents of this cabinet are the only ones we can use. There are three servings of jadeite solution, crystallization poison can also be used twice, and elemental quenching is once. ”
Lina added: "I think it's because of the jade solution and the crystallized poison that I didn't see the appearance of the Sacred Domain powerhouse and the War Ancient Tree among the indigenous elves, and they should have suffered from Schumpeter." Otherwise, the city would not have been able to defend it by myself. ”
Richard thought for a moment and said, "Tell me about the power system of the native elves." ”
Lina nodded, and led Richard deeper underground. A cold ice cellar was opened here, which was divided into dozens of specimens of creatures, most of which were various saplings. This is the herbarium established by Schumpeter to house specimens of species that may be threatened in the green forest plane.
Lina pointed to an adult native elf and said, "This is our most common enemy, and it is also the main archer of the Green Forest Elves. Because of the environment and tradition, we collectively refer to all the shooters as forest shooters, but there is obviously a more detailed division according to the direction and bloodline......"
In addition to archers of all levels, the Green Forest Elves also include classes such as Druids, Mages, Wizards, and Warriors. Among them there are also sacrificial beings, and the work of sacrifice seems to have been shared between the druids and the priests. As far as the scope of exploration is concerned, the tribal system is still the main system of the Green Forest Elves, and they do not seem to have formed a kingdom yet, let alone an imperial civilization as developed as the Norland Elves.
Among the Green Forest Elves, the importance of war plants represented by the Treants is far greater than that of the Elves of Norland. Elves and trees form a close relationship that borders on symbiosis. Also due to the special environment of the plane, the power of the Green Forest Elf Druid is much greater than that of the Druid of Norland.
Finally, there are the various strange creatures that live in the forest. Compared to elves and treants, these creatures truly represent the characteristics of the green forest, with strange appearances, strange shapes, many of which contain deadly toxins, and many insects.
There are far fewer species of eagles and birds, most of them are small, fast, and not worth mentioning in combat effectiveness. This is still related to the dimensional environment, in front of the elves who are good at shooting, the fate of the large birds of prey is only tragedy.
After listening to Lina's explanation, Richard pondered for a moment and said, "Let the soldiers get used to the environment first." In addition, I have some troops to bring with me. I'll talk about it when they get there. In the past few days, we have cleaned up the forests around the city, and by the way, we have given those indigenous elves a taste of bitterness. ”
"Bitter?" Lina suddenly smiled, and the smile was very amorous. She took a small crystal bottle out of her pocket and said, "Here's a little bit of what I did when I was bored." It is a neurotoxin that smears them on warriors' weapons or arrows, and if a little bit of skin is cut, it causes unbearable pain to the native elves. Other than that, though, there's not much else to do. ”
Richard took the medicine bottle, looked at Lina deeply, and then asked, "How many more?"
"That's all. If you want more, you'll have to wait a few more days and I can do it again. However, this pain potion is only effective for warriors of average strength, and the guys above the Sanctuary will be able to resist the pain it produces. ”
Richard shook the bottle in his hand and said, "It will be useful! ”
With that, Richard left the castle's underground space. The whole time, he didn't ask Lina where the pain potion came from.
When Richard walked out of the city lord's mansion, he heard bursts of exclamations from the barracks from time to time, that is, the army originally stationed in the plane was receiving new equipment.
Richard walked into the barracks and saw soldiers waiting in line to receive their equipment. In the open space of the playground, one by one, the magic boxes were opened, and they were full of weapons and armor with enchanted effects. They are only excellent level equipment, but for the soldiers stationed in the Green Forest, they are only one or two high-quality products that only middle-level officers can use in the past.
The dragon mage followed behind Richard, seeing this scene, she couldn't help but look complicated, she didn't mean to reprimand the warriors for being noisy, she took two steps and whispered in Richard's ear, "You brought this?"
"Well, yes. However, the level and strength of the warriors stationed here are still a little worse, and there is no way to exert the power of stronger equipment. ”
Lina looked at the tall boxes stacked next to the playground and asked, "How many sets of equipment did you bring with you?"
"There are 2,000 sets in total. Plus 500 sets of hand crossbows and 50,000 crossbow arrows. It's a pity that the number of fighters is not enough. Alas, it seems that there have been a lot of injuries on your side during this time. Richard said with some regret.
Listening to Richard's words, Lina suddenly felt like she was going crazy.
When she followed Gordon, every time she faced a strong enemy, the opponent's equipment and supplies far exceeded the level of her own side, and there were often cases where her own soldiers used wooden shields, iron knives and leather armor to face the enemy's full set of refined chain mail long swords. Archers had to make careful calculations when they shot their arrows, as they were often issued no more than a dozen or even ten of their various types of crossbow arrows.
By the standards of some wealthy families, the equipment of Gordon's army was slightly better than that of the slave army. Even the gifted Thirteen Knights were all destitute, and almost all of their dividends and savings were spent on their own construction. In fact, they alone can't even match the construction at all, and the reason why all of them are third-order construction is because Gordon paid a part of it for them. And Gordon's money came from Su Helen's loan.
Gordon owes so much debt that it has reached an unimaginable level. Every year, just repaying the interest of the legendary mage makes Lina feel out of breath. But the nervous man didn't care, and continued to spend money lavishly, making money in the wind and rain, leading his men to fight in the north and south, invincible, and gradually laying an amazing foundation at a speed of expansion that the average family can achieve in at least two or three generations.
Gordon has always been able to defeat a strong enemy with inferior forces and inferior equipment, and one of the important factors is that he often rushes to the front every time he charges.
At this moment, Richard interrupted Lina's thoughts, he stared at the soldiers who were trying out the equipment for a while, and finally shook his head and sighed: "There are too few soldiers who can be used! There are so many good equipment, it seems that it can only be kept in the warehouse for a while, alas!"
Lina suddenly felt the urge to strangle him. Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even Lina herself, there are few pieces of equipment on her body now. The two pieces of epic equipment that she treasured had already been secretly taken back to Norland and sold, otherwise where would she be able to maintain the battle situation in the green forest? Now she is destitute, completely relying on flesh/body and construction to support her combat effectiveness.
If Lina knew that when Richard uttered this emotion, he was thinking about the three hundred forged obsidian weapons at the level of the constructed knight that he was about to buy, I am afraid that he would really have to start.
Divine grace was unhurried, and Lee sensed that the name couldn't be more apt.
When the unhurried level of the Green Forest Plane had reached the level of eight to one, Richard felt unhurried when he stayed here. So now he is doing things step by step, not in a hurry. The reorganization of the army, the distribution of weapons, and the training of adaptation are all carried out in an orderly manner, and as long as the plan is made in advance and the executor is appointed, most things do not need to be handled by Richard himself.
In fact, there are a lot of things on the schedule that Richard left to him, especially drawing and composing, which is a job that is not enough time to consume. The whole of Norland is a bottomless pit, no matter how many pieces of construction you take out, you can swallow it in an instant.
Richard now had to slow down his construction and spend more time honing his skills, meditating, and refining his magic. There is no essential difference in the improvement of mana from level thirteen to level fourteen, so Richard is not particularly anxious, as long as there is enough mana margin to use a sacrifice without dropping the level. He was now attacking the fourth branch of the Phantasmal Star with all his might.
Richard was patient, but the others couldn't sit still.
It's been the fifth day on the Green Forest Plane, and Nereis feels like he can't stand the damn weather anymore. When I went to bed at night, the bedding was all damp, and I felt like sleeping in a swamp, which was indescribably uncomfortable. The joints of his whole body began to ache, and if he didn't move a little more, he might have moss on his body. He came to the Green Forest to make meritorious deeds and fight, instead of sleeping with nothing to do all day.
When Nereus's heart moved casually and went straight to Richard's room, at the door, he unexpectedly saw a very familiar figure, and couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Luoqi?"
The girl turned around, and it was Luoqi. She was wearing an ordinary magician's robe, her long hair was tied in a ponytail at random and tied behind her head, and she looked refreshing, completely relying on her temperament, appearance and figure, which made people shine.
Luoqi naturally recognized Nereus, so she bowed and said, "The fourth prince is good." ”
