Black Scepter Chapter 52: Longbow
>Fording Empire.
Kristina, the divisional governor of the "Night Watch", has expanded the territory to a very considerable extent with the help of Connor. Even after this winter, she can be discharged into the territory of the Fording Empire The top three lords.
For Christina, who used to rely on her husband’s prestige and struggled to survive the day after her husband’s death, she didn’t even think about these things.
However, the expansion has succeeded and the power has expanded. When the nearby lords bent down and lowered their heads to themselves, as a female lord, she could not help feeling deeply upset in her life.
However, when wealth, status, and power rush to yourself like mountains and rivers, no matter how restrained Christina was before, her inner desire and self-confidence inevitably swell.
Why do you want to be a pawn?
Why do you make so much effort yourself, but you are not necessarily your own in the end?
When a person’s effort is not directly proportional to the return expected in his heart, anxiety and indignation can involuntarily fill the soul.
At this moment, in the luxurious and even luxurious lord’s hall, Christina refuted Connor’s tone for the first time—“Expedited the third batch? Really thought the concentrate is so easy to dig? I The three miners are exhausted, and the hundreds of people in the mine will be able to rebel in this way! Now I want to increase the supply? This is impossible!"
The floor underneath is covered with thick bearskin, and Christina is wrapped in a long fur coat. After entering the winter, the indoor fireplace is burning quietly, and the fire is shining on everything in the house. To describe the items, from the solid wooden chairs and tables to the decorative swords on the walls and even the magic rings on Christina's hands, none of them are not top-grade goods.
And Connor, who stood in front of her, seemed to always wear that dark robe. With his back slightly, he did not change his expression in the face of Christina’s fierce words, only after the female lord expressed her After the opinion, whispered: "The command is not under Morpheus."
This sentence is like a curse, making Christina's originally angry expression seem to be frozen in an instant.
She learned that the night watchman did not fail in the war just ended, but for more details, she did not receive any other letters to explain.
"What do you mean?"
"Master Ashcandy’s autograph, she requested that no matter the fine iron texture or ordinary iron ore, the third batch must be supplied within two weeks," Connor repeated the content of the letter like a machine, focusing A sentence-"Her signature is the'big consul'."
Kristina is not stupid, which means the change of the night watchman.
But why is this happening?
Has something wrong with Morpheus?
She looked up. Connor seemed to know her doubts and shook her head. "I don’t know what went wrong, but the order is the order. I don’t think that Ashcandy will be more kind than Lord Morpheus. ."
The vampire doesn’t have the guts to explore the reason for this—this is the consciousness of the subordinates. Some things, if you don’t know, you don’t know. If you have to figure it out, you might lose your head.
Fine Iron Arrow, this is the third time Ashcandi has urged Christina to speed up mass production. The actual combat effect of this arrow has been tested and found to almost increase the attack power of archers by more than 30%. , Naturally became the armament that Ashcandi focused on.
Arrows of the same volume, forged by ordinary iron ore, are 20% thinner and 30% weaker than refined iron, but too hard refined iron will cause fragility and fragility, so after improving the shape of the arrow, the penetration is more Strong and more accurate headed iron arrows bring even more terrifying lethality to the longbowmen's cluster projectile.
In the past, the ability to shoot a horse at 300 meters was increased to a group that shot through heavy armor at 350 meters-don’t underestimate the extra 50 meters. For the military, this may represent the possibility of additional representatives. Hundreds of casualties.
Even from a certain point of view, this kind of innovation in combat readiness can allow a unit to become a lethal strategic weapon directly from the "conventional unit"-when the strategic weapon is also a long archer instead of a powerful mage, it means The tactical style of an army has completely changed.
Christina may be good at playing politics, but she is not aware of the importance of this superior material for combat readiness. In a sense, this is like adding a stirrup to a cavalry who could only throw a gun, so that it can be used on horses. With arms in her hands on her back, the female lord did not know that she might be creating a terrible army for Ashcandi. At this moment, she thinks the most is if the miners rebel A series of problems that may occur such as a decline in your reputation in the territory.
In other words, she has put the consciousness of "being a chess piece" after "being a lord".
"Then what do we do next? The team of Sacred Gabriel has entered the border of Fording. The emperor's order I can't openly defiantly, should I take the army in the territory to attack Balice? "
Christina sat exhausted in a large armchair, rubbing her eyes with her hands, and said with a headache: "The lunatics of Sacred Gabriel, but this time, they rushed towards Balic with their full strength. It is estimated that the first snow can enter the border of Balice before the next snowfall. The lords here have begun to retreat collectively, and all of them are like turtles. They dare not express their position immediately. Little relationship."
"She used the marriage method to marry all her royal children to Fording, which is really difficult to resist, but this has nothing to do with what we are doing at this time." Connor has not been in this situation. There are many ways, "Now you can’t be an enemy to His Majesty first. Negative treatment is equally undesirable. You can only take all the troops to follow. As for how to act after arriving in Balice, I think Lord Ashcandi There will be conclusions."
He narrowed his eyes and said in a slightly undetectable voice: "It is not something that can be done by a strong individual with the strength of Lampard’s army to tame the strongest lord directly."
Christina, who has broken her heart for the various orders of the “night watchman”, is very upset. This kind of feeling that sitting on Baoshan but unable to use her own preferences is very sullen, but reality is always repeated. Let her choose a compromise.
"According to what you said, I really don't know what it takes to make so many arrows. If it is used to make armor, it will already be enough to arm a squadron."
She sighed unwillingly and didn't understand Ashkandi's intentions.
Longbow.
Morpheus gave Klenze a handle to prove that his testimony on the surface was not unreal.
Ashkandi’s subordinate units, that is, all of Hegel’s long-range long-range units that used longbows, have a total number of more than 13,000.
Will its existence be the next strategic weapon to change the pattern of the mainland? Or a chicken rib that still makes soldiers become lambs to be slaughtered when they encounter a charge at close range?
No one knows.
Christina, Connor, Hegel, Ilindal, and even Morpheus all take it for granted that Ashcandi increased the amount of arrow production to allow the Longbowmen to occupy an important position in the next battle, but the fact The woman in a black robe who always brought depression to all the subordinates in the territory had not even been to the barracks where the Longbowmen were located even once.
In the previous battles, cavalry and infantry destroyed thousands of people, and the nobles in the territory were weakened by more than half. However, after Hegel became the new lord, all nobles in all the territories that belonged to Hegel were Under the new round of conscription, more than 50,000 infantry, 8,000 knights, and 20,000 engineer soldiers were dedicated.
Of course, these soldiers are on the way of gathering, and it is not easy to gather across the entire East Bali to Lampard territory, but it is enough to show how vast the territorial control that Hegel had before was-and this It’s just the beginning~IndoMTL.com~ All other lords in East Balice collectively expressed their conviction at the convening of Hegel, expressing their willingness to join the Fording army and the "Holy War" of Gabriel Empire. The army is dead.
This time it means that the reserve that Ashcandi’s followers can keep up with has increased to about 70,000.
Balice, with its strong national strength, made preparations for the war when the early winter was approaching, but the emperor of Sibalice still had no action, that is, Ashcandi, the highest leader, now There are more than 100,000 soldiers who can be ordered directly and 70,000 standby soldiers under her hands, and she is about to face the first joint force of more than 70,000 people from Fording and Sacred Gabriel.
At least three batches of sacred Gabriel’s follow-up troops amounted to a total of 90,000 people. The number of forces with Fording’s own country has far exceeded the total strength of East Ballice.
This should be the war with the largest number of wars on the mainland in decades. The total number of participants in the border war that has just ended is less than half of this war. The next war will start in less than a year. It can only be said that the original calm continental pattern seems to be hit by the storm.
The guy who called this storm is now standing in front of the head of the Brest family easily, talking and laughing.
