The Amber Sword: Act 19 Knight and Blacksmith II

Brando was frustrated for a moment, and rejoiced. He suddenly thought that Bolu and Tamar of this era could look at the entire Vaunde. Although it was not elite, it was still a master in Aouine. In the past year, they have armed Wind Archer and White Lion Guards in the territory based on their support alone. Now, Trentheim, a small place, has already ranked among the top in the kingdom, which is unprecedented for other Thane.

For six months, with War of Black Rose The massive influx of refugees everywhere, Brando in Trentheim There are a large number of reserve troops in training camps everywhere. He can pull up a team at any time if he wants. not inferior in the slightest to Radnor or Viero Duke Subordinate noble Private army. but Brando From later generations, personally experienced that epic magnificent Tablet War , He looked down on the North and South noble The so-called army under him, in his opinion, the army under the third order can only be called militia Regiments can be responsible for local law and order, but they can never be used in war. Correct For this reason, for Trentheim It is said that the issue of armaments has now become a major problem preventing the expansion of the army. White Lion Guards only NCO Mission can wear inferior Magic Armor, even if it's normal White Lion Armour Production is still limited, Fir Tree Shire The floor code is full of production and there are no more than a hundred sets each month. Wind Archer There is more serious because Wind Archer Must be matched Wind Archer mail armor With the longbow, limited by output, this army's expansion rate was surprisingly slow.

For this issue, both Amandina and Curran think that the Brando's idea is too naive, and it can even be said to be a splurge. This is purely using money to build an army, but Miss Adviser wants to go deeper, she Faintly thinking of one's own Lord Thane may be concerned about Her Highness the Princess's views. After all, an elite army of more than a thousand people sounds much more reassuring in name than other noble armies with thousands of people. Brando's's reputation for 'spending' quickly spread among his one's own, and even Yoda's several former Mercenary Company leaders privately discussed whether the Lord Thane was too deeply influenced by the Buga set, but How is mortal Wealth comparable to wizard? What if Crystal Ore/Mine in Black Forest is completely mined? This kind of argument raged for a time, even Red Copper Dragon Leto came to persuade him.

Brando also smiled bitterly. Fortunately, he did not dare to tell these people his true purpose, otherwise why not scare them all to death. In his plan, the core force of the future army of Aouine is White Lion Infantry, which is also the foundation of Aouine army, which is equivalent to the second-line place legion with the largest base in the Aouine kingdom. As for the next four, five, and rank 6 troop type, we must find a way to cultivate it. As an elite army with Aouine's characteristics, he now has a quasi-rank 4 troop type such as Wind Archer. If he can persuade Centaur to join his army, and then he obtains the design of the armor and halberd of the silver crown guard from Aerlanta, with a little training, the Aouine will have a real Tier IV army; what the Tier 5 army is sure is Druid's elder guard or ancient tree guard, but Druid is too old-fashioned and may not join his chariot. A more secure consideration is to make an idea from Naga. Although the four-armed Siren and Poseidon Guard are weaker than most rank 5 troop type on land, they are also a type of rank 5 troop type after all. It is important that Naga has no core conflict of interest with the land people, and the kingdom has a fleet that can become their most at sea A firm ally, and Naga should not be too embarrassed to rent army. Aouine can hire these overseas troops in the name of employment. He originally chose to align with Gray Fin Naga. After the war of Ampere Searl, the empire must exchange the design drawings of the frigates. In fact, plans for this have already been saved.

With the Aouine's strength of rank 4 troop type and rank 5 troop type, it should be comparable to the kingdom of the First King Eicht dynasty. At that time, Her Highness the Princess could completely rely on the central military power to conquer the country and make the kingdom's power highly unified, so as to achieve local decentralization and centralization of power. Change. As for rank 6 troop type, Brando has no clue at present, and troop type with more than six orders in Aouine history has only Silver Elf Holy Cathedral guards. And the number does not exceed one hundred, his only hope now is that Valhalla is powerful. But once Aouine has rank 6 troop type, then already can stay in front of Madara in terms of strength. After all, Madara is not only facing an enemy of Aouine. It is impossible to counter the threat of such a borderland with the power of the country. With such strength, Aouine can completely force Madara to shift the direction of expansion to other countries. And this ancient kingdom will return to its heyday.

But these plans are undoubtedly a nightmare for Amandina. In their eyes, the Aouine Kingdom is just a relatively independent kingdom around Kirrlutz. His military strength has always been not weak, but not strong. You know Kirrlutz Empire on the north side. Although the base troop type of the four legions under the direct control of the central government is the fourth-tier Imperial Guard, in fact, the third-tier empire noble cavalry and the second-tier empire are in the noble private army and local guard army which account for the largest proportion of the total empire force The empire Lancer is still the main force, and these places army face the same problem as the kingdom, that is, the low level of training and the collapse of discipline caused by long-term peace. Except for a few border areas, the army in most parts of the empire or There are more or less problems like existence, and in the evaluation of Holy Cathedral of Fire, the evaluation of the combat effectiveness of the Imperial noble cavalry several times in the past two years fell below the lower limit and was equal to rank 2 troop type.

Of course, the empire also has fifth-order Pegasus Knight, fifth-order Knight of the Chalice, sixth-tier sword crusader, sixth-order holy oil Knight and Holy Cathedral bitter monk, and even royal Griffin, royal Astrologer, Holy Cathedral priest. Seventh-tier troop type and Flaming Knight such as the tenth-ranked and upper-level powers, but these troops are deterrent forces, often in small numbers, and are like Faanzan, Saers, such huge empires, high rank troop type is the empire's privilege It is game among the great powers. Once troop type above level 6 is owned by a small country like Aouine, it is basically to change the current continent order. Why is Aouine so famous? Even Buga people have paid attention to such a small kingdom. Correct because of his Once owned a complete system of White Lion Infantry, Holy Cathedral guards.

But that was just a flash in the pan, nearly ten centuries later, and no similar thing happened in the history of Vaunde.

So Amandina, Curran, and mercenary commander under Brando. They didn't even think about these aspects at all. They only felt that one's own Lord Thane was too idealistic. The elite was good, but it was too much. Brando is too lazy to explain to them that his goal has never been present. He thinks that already is not worth mentioning in pursuing domestic goals like this. The noble in the north seems to be very threatening. But with the growth of Valhalla, it is only completely useless, and whether Aouine can establish such an army has a bearing on whether the kingdom can finally emerge from its established destiny in the future. This is the most important thing.

Brando has never forgotten that although the nobles of Aouine's stale and rotten has caused the kingdom to sink, what really killed it is the dangerous enemy that is rising in the east.

He has power. The one's own expansion plan was implemented arbitrarily and arbitrarily, but the apparent anxiety in his mind was actually better than the day, and the time would not stop waiting for anyone. In fact, there are signs that the development of history does not stop Waiting for him to develop more quickly because of his arrival. The countries around Aouine have begun to move, but the development of his territories is still moving slowly. Amandina They saw this, and secretly reminded him to relax his requirements. It is reasonable to expand the army as soon as possible, but he does not understand, but the question is what is the significance of expanding the cannon fodder?

They don't understand at all what kind of opponent Aouine is facing now.

The entire kingdom is still looking at the coming era of war and chaos with old eyes. In fact, Madara, Kirrlutz, and even Wind Elf and Faanzan are rapidly completing in this era of upheaval before the arrival of Big Monster Wave. Military reform, Brumand rose in the dark one step ahead, Faanzanian followed closely behind. Next is Saers, which is directly opposed to Madara. Kirrlutzian finally completed the reform under the auspices of Lenarret Great Emperor, so it also suffered the biggest loss in the war. But he is an empire. The strong foundation of the empire and the strong support of Holy Cathedral of Fire allowed it to fail temporarily, but Aouine does not have this strong strategic depth.

Aouine can only learn Madara. You must do one thing in advance, otherwise only one will end.

This war is a precursor. The beginning of the real wind and rain originated from the second War of Black Rose in three years, but that is what happened in history. Brando cannot guarantee whether the second War of Black Rose of this era will start in advance. But in this war with Bloodcane, he must try his best to find out how big the gap is between the kingdom and Madara in this era. Of course, it is best to give Madara a warning so that the other party feels that the kingdom is not so weak and deceptive. Then those bone shelves may consider more time before choosing to launch the second War of Black Rose.

Every minute is a hope of redemption for Aouine.

Brando must therefore be cautious and try to increase the strength of one's own as much as possible before the war, and the addition of a group of Master Artisans like Babu will undoubtedly inject him with a strong heart, which made him overjoyed. Trentheim suddenly added more than a dozen craftsmen of the same level as Bolu and Tamar. What does that mean? It means that the output of --, especially the Magic equipment, has increased exponentially. The significance of this improvement represents the first of his plan. One step is finally on track.

Let White Lion Guards be the foundation of the Kingdom's Central Army.

Brando thought for a while before coming back to him. He seemed to be sober from long thinking before asking: "Master Babu, can the Valyrian warrior hall be operational now?"

"As long as you have the materials, you can do it anytime," Babu replied.

Brando immediately took a set of White Lion armor from Dimensional Hole, pointed at the armor and asked Babu: "Master Babu, like this armor, how long will it take you to produce a hundred sets?" Brando took The White Lion armor without Enchanting came out. Babu only glanced and shook his head dismissively: "Like this armor, we will not produce it. I don't think this kind of paper armor is worth existence at all."

Brando couldn't help but cry for fuck me. I thought that although this set of armor was a bit shabby, it was also the latest double hinge armor designed by Bolu. How can the defense up to 5 be regarded as arrogant among White-Tier armors? Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the same in Babu's eyes. Just kidding, you gave me a set of plate armor out of paper. I looked at Ah? in his heart, but there was nothing strange on his face, and he took out a set of Enchanting armor for NCO and asked: "What about this? "

"Reluctantly to see," Babu replied, "I remember I made a set of toys for my son, which is probably similar to this set."

Brando almost spit out blood and he finally understood. It turns out that although these giant artisans are limited in experience and level, their knowledge is still very high. They are basically evaluating these armors with the eyes of their era. According to the eyes of Cloud Giant and existence on the earth, The White Lion armor of the White-Tier can really only be considered paperless. I am afraid that these giant artisans were surprised before. They estimated that they had never seen armor without Enchanting before. This is simply scam.

Brando suddenly felt a sense of frustration that was scorned by the tyrants. Could not help but said weakly: "Master Babu, how many of these armors can you build, and I urgently need such a batch of armor to arm my army."

"Lord Thane, you still call me by the title of a craftsman," Babu replied, although he was a character with high eyes. But it ’s not an unreasonable stupid person. When I saw Brando's ’s look, I guessed what kind of mistake I made, and quickly replied, “Master, please rest assured, the forging technology of these armors is really simple for us. Thousands of such armors should be fine. "

Brando just stayed out. He looked at the entire Valyrian warrior hall, and then looked at Babu. If it wasn't for the name of the other party, he would have thought that this guy must be flickering at him. In such a hall, there are more than a dozen artisans, even if they are **** artisans, but it is possible to create two thousand sets of Magic armor -- a month, even if it is the lowest --. Even if Bolu and Tamar personally operate the knife, it will take at least half a month for them to complete a piece of armor. You must know that the output of Fir Tree Shire is not only supported by the two of them. There are a large number of refugees from Fortress Fir The artisans in it.

"Two thousand sets. A dozen of you?" he asked a little bit dryly.

“Oh, that's not it, "Babu shook his head:" Lord Thane, you want to be bad, there are many Heroic Spirit craftsmen in this hall besides us, we can control Heroic Spirit to work for this warrior hall, although The size of the hall is still shabby, but two thousand sets of Magic armors of that level are still fine. "

Brando came to understand after Babu's explanation. It turns out that this Valyrian warrior hall is similar to Monica's Light Vortex , and it can also work with Heroic Spirit. However, unlike the lair like Light Vortex , the warrior hall can only have more artisans when it expands, and Babu them. These are the leaders of these craftsmen. He was excited. Two thousand sets of White Lion armors per month were still Enchanting. This means that White Lion Legion can finally expand on a large scale. Although the newly recruited recruits may not be as reliable as the veterans, as long as they wear these Enchanting armors, the worst is there. The strength of the two-tier troop type, or why the third-order noble cavalry of the Kirrlutzian has so much second-order power? Does n’t it just rely on equipment? The Magic equipment that the army and noble private troops in the Empire can afford. Now Aouine's basic army can finally be popularized. Although this requires a lot of money, at least the problem that money can solve so far is Brando. It's not a problem for the time being.

After all, there are some things you can't buy with money.

And as long as the output is tilted to Wind Archer half, then the army consisting of fourth-tier shooters will soon be able to form an army, even a little faster, and expand the number of people before the end of this war It doesn't seem impossible to double. A 1200-man army of shooters composed of rank 4 troop type, but in Year of Sword, Brando almost drooled down, but in order to avoid image damage, he quickly wiped the corners of his mouth, causing Medissa Puchi to laugh aside.

But at this time there were discordant notes in the hall. "Lord Thane, IMHO, you create these useless things is a waste of the value of this sacred hall, meaningless." The speaker's voice was rough and high-pitched, causing Brando to look back, but found the opener It was Medissa who previously mentioned the **** master named Gorju. He has not heard the name of this person, but after listening to the other person's disdainful tone, I understand that this guy's reputation in Cloud Giant is no less than Babu, he asked quickly: "What does may I ask teach?"

Actually, Brando is also a little depressed. Of course, he knows that letting these artisans create these ‘toys’ is an overkill for them, but what is the problem? On the one hand, he does not have more advanced drawings and materials. On the other hand, according to Babu, their experience level is limited by Valhalla. In fact, it is now similar to Bolu and Tamar. According to the idea of ​​Brando's, they can do the most to help Trentheim. It is to expand the size of two elite army as soon as possible.

As for the others, it may take them half a year or several months to work together to create a Ancient Legacy rank other or even an Phantasmal rank other equipment, but what's the point? What he wants is not someone's fighting power.

I didn't expect that Gorju shook his head: "Lord Thane, it seems you still don't understand what our real value is for you," he paused, and then pointed to the Bolu and Tamar not far away and replied: We already have not returned to this land for a long time. It is not clear what has happened since the history of Vaunde, but at least we understand that although these two Master Level other craftsmen are not everywhere, they should not be rare in the world. You To recruit, eight or ten should also be no problem -- and could it be that do you think this hall means more to you? "

Brando hesitated for a moment, realizing that this rough guy might have something in it, he couldn't help looking at Babu aside.

The artisan of God slowly nodded his head, and said, "Sir, I said before that this hall is called Valyrian warrior hall. It is a resting place for Warrior in mythology. It is provided here for Warrior. Weapons and armor are but one of its subsidiary functions, forget it/that's all. "

Brando finally reacted, he was excited: "Do you mean that the forging workshop is just one of the functions of this building ... It, is it still a lair?"

"lair needs Mana Pool support, sir." Babu shook his head.

"What exactly does that mean?" Brando was confused.

"Have you heard of the name Valkyrie, Lord Thane, may I ask?"

Babu asked word by word.
