In a clearing between the east of Yeqi City and the new industrial area, the five vehicle groups of the auxiliary army are familiarizing themselves with their future means of transportation.

Cavour is one of Jim's chosen Auxiliaries to captain, and the runemaster Thlekin has just introduced them to the structure of the transport carriage and the ballista, the magic pattern, how to disassemble it, and how to use it.

Cavour and Sheffield and Newcard, who were also commanders around him, did not expect that the big guy in front of him, which was more than 4 meters long and 3 meters high, could be disassembled into several large parts in just 10 minutes.

Although the carriage frame is made of black iron, the numerous magic patterns on it can take into account the load of nearly 2 tons and light driving at the same time, even if it is fully loaded, as long as two horses can easily pull the cart and run up to 50 kilometers, if you can change horses regularly, then you can pull the goods from Yeqicheng to the western front in a single day.

The Ballista of the Auxiliary Group is even more complex, each of which can be converted into defensive mode in a matter of minutes: a large shield with multiple sides in front of the vehicle and a large spear in front of the shield, and a 3-meter-long giant crossbow on the frame of the open carport.

"My majesty, such a big crossbow can shoot a demonic beast!" This was the first thing Cavour said when he saw the giant crossbow, whether he was a knight or not, he would always be thrilled to see such a huge machine.

The runemaster fired a crossbow arrow in front of everyone, and the crossbow arrow without any magic runes shot a distance of 600 meters, making everyone's mouths grow.

"At present, Mage Sophia is still adjusting the magic pattern on the crossbow machine, and is designing the magic pattern crossbow arrow, and it is expected that by then, the giant crossbow can have a range of more than a kilometer." "These crossbows can be placed not only on carts, but also on the walls of the city for defense. ”

The crossbow machine has a three-degree adjustable turntable and a gearbox for winding, but the complex structure allows for precise dispersion of the bolts, and the ability of the non-demon to be easily wound and fired.

Cavour and Sheffield were the first to try, the silky winch, the smooth winding and the sound of the crossbow bolts breaking through the air were so fascinating that several commanders were addicted after a few attempts to fire them, and the demons present were eager to fire the giant crossbow.

"Listen, shooting a giant crossbow is only one of the easiest steps, and in the future, there will be a sight on top of the giant crossbow, and at that time, you only need to aim simply, and you can hit accurately. But before you can do that, you still have a lot to learn, and in the future all the ballista carriages and transport carriages will have to be driven and maintained by you. ”

The dwarf's loud voice quieted everyone down, and after all the car crews had a basic understanding of the carriage, he began to teach them more detailed content, according to Rand's request, he wanted to compile the use, maintenance, and repair manual of the entire vehicle according to the situation of the several experimental car groups in front of him in the process of learning and use, and Night Qicheng had already sent a few young people to assist in writing and drawing.

The study of the carriage is a big project, the name of the structure of each component of the vehicle, the essentials of disassembly and maintenance, the storage of the carport, the deployment and storage of the tail shield, the lowering and retracting of the bottom support, and the installation, leveling and winding of the giant crossbow. The whole content will be divided into 5-6 parts, and after each explanation, the crew needs to get hands-on practice.

This morning, the main task of the crew was to familiarize themselves with the wagons, to be able to skillfully put the horses in front of them, and to unfold the carriages for transport and ballista. After the dwarf finished speaking, the five car crews rushed to start training, running to the frame to dismantle the carport, adjust the giant crossbow, and so on.

And Jim on the side looked at the ballista that had completed the unfolding form, and affirmed his thoughts, "It's really not that simple, the auxiliary army is involved in the battle, Lord Earl, this is going to use the demonless to participate in the battle?" Let's hope it succeeds! ”

Seeing Dannico approaching, Jim quietly leaned over and whispered, "Knight, do you think we demons-free can learn such things?" Would you like to invite those demon supporters to come and listen? ”

"Heh, they have a lot more to learn than you," said Dannico, pointing to the side, and saw that not far away, on several elongated carriages, the original board on the carriage had actually been removed, and on one side it became a table, and the carriage was not empty, but some shelves were added, one of which was full of magic jars and small iron stoves, and the other simply had a hanger.

"One over there is a dining truck to ensure that you can cook food during the march, and the other is a maintenance car that can lift these tanks and transports and repair the frames. See those demon goers? They're going to learn how to operate and maintain all kinds of cars."

"My majesty, this is too complicated!" Jim exclaimed again.

"I've heard that there are still three kinds of cars that have not been completed, one with a lookout mast, one that can cool down and preserve meat, and one that allows magicians to meditate better in the car and repair iron armor." Danico shook his head as he spoke, "I used to think that I had seen the world in the royal capital, but when I saw these carriages, I felt like a brute. ”

After about an hour, all the car crews assembled in a group to meet Lord Rand for inspection.

In front of Rand, Cavour and the four members of his group hurriedly demonstrated the deployment and shooting of the ballista, and the crossbow arrows were successfully shot 500 meters away, while Sheffield of the transport group took two people from his own group to demonstrate the dismantling and loading of the carriage.

"You're doing a great job!" Rand was very satisfied with the demonstration of the two groups, and after reporting on the performance, he addressed all the car crews and demon supporters, "Although our auxiliary army is not the main force like the Knights, it will also play a key role, I hope you will study carefully, and share the results of your learning with all the members of the auxiliary army in the future!" ”

After speaking, Rand also got into the carriage himself, and faced Cavour and others, first asked if they could keep up with the training, whether the uniform was comfortable, whether the amount of food was sufficient, and when they got a definite answer from several people, they were asked to introduce the structure and characteristics of the vehicle, and they did not hesitate to praise the outstanding performance of several people.

"Your Excellency values us so much!" The demonsless people who have never seen the great nobles have no resistance to the rather routine condolences of the rand, and everyone's eyes are a look that they must fight for the adults.

Rand's inspection was not long, and soon he left with the dwarven rune master Jimron Longbeard, and walked a long way before asking the dwarf: "Tell me the truth, how much does such a carriage cost?" ”
