Chapter 5: The Flame Dwarves
Old man Ao's idea is not wrong, like this kind of equipment industry, which has to pay a huge amount to get it, no matter how rich it is, it is useless. No matter how rich you are, it is not as good as having such a military factory under your own hands. Once developed, it can not only solve internal needs, but can even be used to make a fortune, which is in some ways even more practical than robbery.
Old man Ao preached so much just now, in the final analysis, the foundation of the plundering group is vain, in fact, it refers to these aspects. Weapons and equipment, this is a long-standing and difficult problem that Commander Cao will have to face sooner or later. Instead of having a headache at that time, it is better to think long-term now and build a military factory, which is the real profit!
The meaning of equipment for warriors is very appropriate to describe in the vernacular of the Exiled Domain: rats carry knives, and cats are found all over the streets!
A second-rate fighter can become a first-class fighter if he is fully armed, and this is the essence of equipment. In the era of cold weapons, wars were also fought in the economy, and many times weapons and equipment were fought on the battlefield. In addition to the main battle sequence of the plunder regiment, Commander Cao also has the second-level battle sequence under the command of the head of the Pi Sect.
Old Man Ao is not wrong at all, there is no need to count on others to be strong, Commander Cao can arm these two lines of battle sequence to a certain extent, then in the Domain of Exile is truly invincible. It's all the Cao family's forces, and they don't have to worry about people's hearts at all. Old man Ao's vision will never be in the present, but always in the future, which is one of the characteristics that he admires the most to Captain Cao.
For example, if you are an ordinary person who wants to get the idea of this military factory? Old man Ao does not advocate causing trouble everywhere with absolute violence. But if it can be exchanged for a better future, it is worth investing in for him. Even the use of force and a series of costs when necessary is worth it.
Captain Cao's practice of making a mess everywhere and then fishing in troubled waters has always been a small fight that is difficult to get into the elegant hall in the eyes of Old Man Ao. The real tone of the development of the raiding group has always been in the hands of the old and serious old man Ao. And the old man himself believes that the idea of this military factory. It is crucial for the Raiders.
Head Cao thought about it for a while, but he really felt that this was the truth. A moment and a half of money is enough for Captain Cao to be chic for two days, but the money is gone, or it flew because of some accident, so what should I do?
This means a bit like the feeling that the ancient emperor looked back at the three thousand beauties in the harem, and Lori, the royal sister, and the mature women were all applauded by Lao Tzu. But after a hundred secrets, the emperor pondered carefully, these three thousand beauties do have their own appearances, but they are missing the one who can pinch their feet and beat their backs, serve tea and pour water. The actual foundation is far better than the current glitz.
Captain Cao himself understands. The account he had just calculated was too conservative. The dwarves are the most successful blacksmiths in the Pan-American continent, and this success does not refer to the simple leadership and uniqueness of blacksmithing technology. Their production efficiency is also not comparable to that of blacksmiths of other races, and a dwarven blacksmith must at least top two decent human blacksmiths. As for quality, it's also notoriously solid.
If they had enough raw materials, they would be able to produce the equipment that Captain Cao needed, and it would be better than the equipment that Captain Cao had purchased from those human profiteers at a high price.
The dwarves are a unique group that also has a large lineage, with countless branches. But no matter what the dwarven branch is, they all have almost the same characteristics. Just mention dwarves. The image of a group of hot-tempered Wu Dalang will appear in the mind of Head Cao. And the dwarves, both men and women, were fond of drinking and striking iron.
In fact, the dwarves have two specialties, in addition to striking iron, the ale they make is also a must. The dwarves are again notoriously united. And the power is huge, a dwarven tribe of more than a thousand people, placed in any corner of this exiled domain, under normal circumstances, no normal person would want to provoke.
Even those medium-sized and large bandit gangs. Generally, if you encounter such a hard bone, you have to take a detour. The dwarves are so good at striking iron, will their weapons and equipment be poor? and you will probably have to face a group of powerful steel cans, with the heads of the knives chopped down. There are two more shallow white marks on other people's armor. And as soon as they get irritable, even the gods of the heavens will have a headache, just thinking about their damn next coil is enough for any character to have a headache.
Their next game is also notoriously brutal, and most people are not used to fighting dwarves, because no one likes to bend over and fight with dwarves. Dwarves are good at under-the-plate slashes, not because they like to attack their opponents' lower threes, but because they are tall in the Pan-American continent, and except for a few races that are similar to their height, the other races are a lot taller than them, and any trick they use is a down-plate slash. Needless to say, their labor is excellent, and all the dwarves love heavy weapons like axes and hammers, which is a real headache.
Captain Cao also suddenly fell into deep thought, how could they be so easy to come up with the bad idea of more than a thousand dwarves? They are all thorns in the flesh in other people's territory, which shows how difficult they are. As soon as there is any conflict, these more than 1,000 dwarves are all soldiers, and their equipment will be shattered even if the raiding group encounters it.
The raiders had an advantage over the native bandits of the exiled realm, and one of the most significant of them was equipment. And this advantage will only turn into a disadvantage when facing dwarves. The soldiers of the raiding regiment are all brave and good at fighting, this Cao regiment commander has no doubts, but it is impossible to say whether they will face a group of dwarf mules as easily as they face other enemies. Come hard, that's definitely not going to work. came soft, those temperaments were hot, as if they were born with a grudge against everyone in the Pan American Continent, and Captain Cao also felt unbearable.
"Don't say the old man didn't remind you, these dwarves are hard to come by. If you don't do it, when someone else takes you away, you will definitely cry so much. Old Man Ao didn't seem to see Captain Cao's anxiety, and he kept instigating.
"Uncle Ao, although I have never had any opinion on your words, I still feel that I need to say a few words now. Even if those dwarf mules are of some use to the boss, they will definitely not make our boss burst into tears if he can't get it. Who is our boss? It was among the thousands of flowers, and the leaves did not touch people. The people in this world who can break the boss's heart have not yet been born. Wade suddenly couldn't listen anymore and stood up to support Captain Cao.
This is a common phenomenon within the raiding regiment, and almost everyone will be filled with blind faith and worship for the commander. Wade was not the only one who felt a little harsh, but everyone else nodded sympathetically. Old man Ao's words will affect the internal unity a little, destroy his own morale, and increase the prestige of others. Everyone here was their own, and everyone agreed that it would be good if those dwarf mules knew each other. If they don't know each other and refuse to accept the olive branch of Head Cao, it should be that they missed the best boss in the world, and they should cry.
Seeing the support of the brothers, Head Cao suddenly made a quartet, with a reserved face, smiling and silent.
"A bunch of ignorant stunned youths, they are not ordinary dwarves, others have racial abilities!" Old Man Ao also didn't have a good face for these scum, and he didn't even raise his eyelids.
"Dwarves also have racial abilities? Are you kidding? What are those three-inch nails capable of other than clanging and striking iron? Down-and-down slashing isn't a racial ability, old man. If the top of my head could reach the height of Barkley's words, I would be good at slashing!"
The hard "goodwill" reminder caused reserved laughter from several scum. The Creator was fair, giving the dwarves their natural skill in striking iron and a powerful stature, but apparently giving them little ability. And this race is also famous for its elemental insulators, and other intelligent races all have more or less elemental users, but the dwarves have such a huge ethnic lineage, and there has never been a person who can manipulate the elements in history, a real elemental desert.
It's not that it's hard and uninsightful, even Captain Cao thinks so. Captain Cao can be regarded as a person with good study habits and a wide range of knowledge, and he has never heard of any racial abilities of dwarves.
"They're flaming dwarves. Old Man Ao finally raised his eyelids and glanced at everyone.
"Flame Dwarf, is there still fire all over your body?" Captain Cao frowned, this title made Captain Cao feel unusually unfamiliar. Captain Cao is very interested in the intelligent races on the Pan-American Continent, and he has not read many books on this subject in his spare time, and Captain Cao, who has read many books, has never heard of this dwarven branch.
Based on imagination alone, Captain Cao suddenly felt that these dwarf mules were not ordinary. If their racial abilities were that flashy, they would be equal to all mages. Not an elemental user but better than an elemental user, fire has a wide range of applications in actual combat, and its lethality is huge. The most important thing is that mages need to consume elemental power to cast magic, and the reason why racial abilities are called racial abilities is that they do not use elemental power, but rely on their own strength. It means that as long as you still have strength, you can use it, isn't this more practical than a magician?
Thinking of this, a small star almost popped up in Captain Cao's eyes...... (To be continued......)
