Ding Kui's face fell, and he said, "You should know that many demonic beasts have been driven in our direction, and the pressure is huge. I plan to establish a forward outpost at the Yongsheng base, and strive to keep the monsters out of my territory. ”

"I agree with this approach, try to arrange high-level combat power as much as possible, so let's go to the forward outpost to guard against the monster together. "Huan Qiao has a duty to resist the invasion of demonic beasts.

The two quickly reached a consensus, and the Giant Sheep City Magic Guild paid 100,000 yuan to buy a manor in Princess Ridge, and President Huan Qiao personally led the team to the Yongsheng base to resist the demonic beasts.

The city lord and the city lord's wife, along with the welfare director, also went to the Yongsheng base and told everyone with practical actions that the giant sheep city has the ability to ensure its own safety.

For a time, Yongsheng Base gathered many masters, such as Ao Yan and Ding Kun with sixth-level combat power, and Ding Kui and his wife, Huan Qiao, Qianyou, Lao Qiantou, Zhong Wei, Shaodianye, etc., such a luxurious lineup far exceeds other cities.

Shao Dianfei and Shao Diancheng failed to gain Ding Kui's trust, so they could only stay at the royal outpost, but they could lead troops to rescue when nearby cities needed it. Protecting the citizens from the monsters is also a duty of the outpost.

"Do you think the demonic beasts will come to our side?" Ding Kui and Huan Qiao came to the newly built watchtower on the big grassland and looked southwest.

"I've checked the records of Nanqiu County, except for low-level Demonic Beasts, the person who has encountered the most Demonic Beasts is you, according to historical experience, Warcraft will not visit Giant Sheep City, but it becomes difficult to say with you. Huan Qiao didn't exaggerate.

"Uh, hehe, President Huan laughed, there has been an abnormality in the swamp over the years, otherwise it would not have set up a magic guild in Giant Sheep City, it can't be said that it has anything to do with me. Ding Kui was embarrassed.

"The demonic beasts you killed have led to the lack of overlords in the neighboring areas, and the crazy growth of animals and plants without natural enemies will inevitably attract wandering demonic beasts, and even attract demonic beasts. Just like the big meadow under your feet, it's strange that there are no monsters coveting such a fertile place. Huan Qiao nodded unceremoniously.

"That's why I'm arranging so many armed forces here. Ding Kui touched his chin.

"I warn you, the General Assembly has forbidden everyone to go near the middle level of the swamp, and I don't care if you move around the perimeter, but you must not approach the middle level. "Huan Qiao only received a summons from the Magic Federation yesterday.

"Definitely, definitely, my people are busy, and they will definitely not go deep into the swamp, and I can't control the others. Ding Kui immediately made a guarantee.

"This frontier post doesn't need to be demolished, I will arrange for magicians to patrol it in the future, and I can use this place as a foothold. ”

"Yes, I'll solve the problem of food and housing, and all magicians are welcome at Yongsheng Base. "Ding Kui can't ask for it, and he is willing to let him build a magic guild in the base.

In the swamp, magicians have an advantage over other professions, especially those who have mastered the art of flying, and can maximize their own strength, Ding Kui can't wait for more magicians to come to the base to squat.

Under the pretext of reporting work, the old money man invited Ding Kui into his room.

Ding Kui played with a crossbow, hooked his fingers on the bowstring and pressed it into the card slot, and then pulled the trigger.

With a "taut" sound, a gust of wind popped out of the bowstring.

"It's so strong, can this crossbow be mass-produced?"

"Yes, this is the final universal model, intended for regular crossbowmen troops. This bow tire is a kind of bamboo in the deep sea of the South China Sea, called 'Golden Coral Bamboo', which has very high stiffness and toughness.

Because it is difficult for ordinary archers to draw such a strong bow, very few people use 'Golden Coral Bamboo' to make bows, and there are a large number of 'Golden Coral Bamboo' in the depths of the South China Sea but no one has cut them, and the price is very low, which is the most suitable material for making crossbows that I can find at present.

The bowstring is made of golden moth silk mixed with Warcraft tendons, and the strength you can also see, only archers above the sunset level can pull it open, of course, our crossbowmen can easily pull it away with a special lever. The old money man took out a lever with a linkage mechanism.

Ding Kui understood at a glance that it was the use of force arms and fulcrums to increase the pulling force, which could increase the force by eight to ten times. A strengthened Charge Samurai uses this lever to easily pull away a bow that can only be fired by Sunset Archers.

"Very good, this model of crossbow has a level 5 lethality, how far is the range?"

"You can kill and injure a third-level combat power within 800 steps, you can wear heavy armor within 400 steps, and you can kill and injure a fifth-level combat power within 200 steps. ”

"Then make it in batches, select and sign confidentiality agreements with trusted craftsmen, who must be protected and monitored, and must not be allowed to reveal the secrets of the crossbow. Ding Kui was very satisfied with the crossbow in his hand.

This kind of crossbow bow is more than one meter long, the crossbow groove and bracket are about one meter and two meters long, the crossbow arrow is 80 centimeters long with a short tail fin, weighing about one kilogram, and the arrowhead part is made of flowered copper.

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away. The old man was also very happy in his heart, and it was not in vain that he had spent so long developing.

"After the first batch of 500 crossbows is made, the special operations battalion will be transferred back to the base for secret training and use, and the recruits can start aiming training on cross bamboo frames, and some special arrays can also start training. "Ding Kui decided to start forming a crossbow unit.

"Crossbow arrows can be handed over to outside craftsmen for mass production, and although they are different from ordinary arrows, they will not be reversed into the crossbow style. "The old money man suggested.

"This can be had, without crossbow arrows, crossbows are useless, produce a little more and hoard them, so as not to be insufficient in the future. Ding Kui thought so.

Crossbows cannot use ordinary arrows, crossbow arrows must be specially produced and manufactured, and the craftsmen who specialize in making crossbows are short of manpower to make crossbow arrows in large quantities, so they can only arrange for craftsmen to produce them separately.

"Ten crossbowmen can threaten me, a hundred crossbowmen can force me to turn around and leave, a battalion in the field can definitely kill a large battalion of regular troops, whether it is elite infantry or cavalry, the mode of war in this world will definitely change in the future. Ding Kui gently put the crossbow back on the table.

"Yes, the crossbowmen of a legion are terrible to think about, if they fight against the previous troops, in the case of equal magical power, they will win one-on-one, and they will not be at a disadvantage if they are two-on-two. Do you think the Eighth Legion can be defeated?" the old man could imagine the massive use of crossbows.

"I firmly believe that ranged units with tremendous lethality are the kings of the battlefield that can't be defeated head-on. Ding Kui had an unspeakable reason in his heart.

Modern warfare in the memory of past lives can prove this, the best way to fight is to destroy the enemy outside the line of sight, and hand-to-hand combat takes place in the worst case.

"Yes, just like the Wizards, we've created a different kind of 'Wizards', and the only ones who can suppress the crossbowmen are the magicians who attack farther away. "The old man didn't carry an archer.

Only high-level archers can fight against crossbowmen, but the difference between the two numbers is so far that crossbowmen can completely ignore the presence of high-level archers.

"The defect of crossbowmen is that the individual combat ability is weak, and we need to form elite troops to cooperate with it, and we cannot rely on a single branch of the army. "Ding Kui has no superstitious crossbowmen.

"The knight brigade and the magician team need to have, do you have a way to train knights?" the old man looked expectant, hoping that Ding Kui could train knights like a warrior.

"No, knights are not trained in a day, nor can they be practiced in a year, if I have that method, I will not be invincible in the world. Ding Kui smiled awkwardly.

At this time, Ding Kun flashed into the room and said in a deep voice: "Young master, there is a situation, there are really demonic beasts coming towards us. ”

Ding Kui's eyes froze.

"Let's go, let's see. ”

Beep, beep, the whistle sounded loudly in the recruit training camp area, just when the teams dispersed the practice time, the recruits heard the signal to prepare for the assembly and hurriedly formed a team on the spot, and ran towards the assembly site.

"Hurry up, hurry up, the second brigade of recruits will help the first brigade pierce the armor, and the third brigade will be responsible for the defense of the camp!" Zhong Wei commanded in a corner of the playground.

He had just received an order from the heralds, and the city lord ordered the first brigade of recruits to go to the southwest of the base to prepare to meet the enemy.

Some recruits quickly ran to the armory and were responsible for carrying armor and weapons; some recruits rushed to the defense facilities around the training camp in squadrons after completing the formation, and were responsible for the defense of the barracks; and some recruits stood straight in a formation with large intervals.

The first brigade of recruits is a reserve of soldiers, and its combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the other two brigades, so there are people to help them wear armor and hold weapons when preparing for battle.

Except for Zhong Wei, all the fighters above the fifth level gathered at the new watchtower and looked at a fluttering yellow cloud in the southwest.

"Dog-headed locusts, why did this thing come to us? They didn't participate in the beast tide in Muddy Waters. Ding Kui saw the yellow cloud clearly.

Doghead Locust, a second-level demonic beast, named after a dog's head, is gifted with magic acceleration, has a high speed in short sprints, and is used to attacking with its mouth and hind limbs.

"It should have been driven by an intermediate-level demonic beast, and it's not surprising that this green space happens to have plenty of food and dog-headed locusts coming over. Huan Qiao also saw it clearly. Water mages practice Eagle Eye.

"I have a bad feeling that there is a threat nearby. Ao Yan's face was solemn.

Ding Kui took a deep breath, the threat that the little dragon girl said was not trivial, you must know that she was sealed by the White Dragon God, and her own strength did not drop much, except that she could not exert the combat power of the body.

Even what she felt was a threat, no one else on the scene could deal with it, and Ding Kun was no exception.

"Do you need to retreat?" Ding Kui asked Ao Yan.

"This group of kobasal locusts has our new recruits cooperating with you, it's no problem to take them, and there are senior Ding and Miss Ao here, so you don't need to retreat, right?" Huan Qiao didn't understand Ding Kui's question.

Ao Yan shook her head and said, "No need to run. Then he pointed at Ding Kun, "I don't know what the threat is, but at least he can't kill me, he can help me deal with it." ”

"Grandpa Qian took the archers to stay on the watchtower, Grandpa Kun and Ao Yan took to the air to be on guard, President Huan took your people to the back of the recruit brigade, and the others came with me. Ding Kui gave the order and walked down the guard tower.
