Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 331: Confusion of Cross Ballista

Chapter 331 Cross Ballista's Confusion

"Call!" As soon as Lorist pulled the reins, the heroic mount stood up, two bowl-shaped horseshoes emptied and kicked twice, then fell heavily on the slippery grass.

"Just camping on the hillside in front, we will be able to reach the riverside camp of Baron Shazin tomorrow afternoon."

Today is October 30th. A few days ago, Baron Shazin sent a message saying that the flat boat was basically completed. Orville Keith with Thunderbolt Catapult Battalion and a guard camp also reached the riverside lower reaches of the Miduobuluo River. Camp, everything is ready, ask Lorist if you want to go, if not, he and Orville Keith will smash the arrow tower fence on the other side.

Go, of course. Lorist also wants to ship a batch of life jackets to Thunderbolt Catapult Battalion. No matter how they are fighting on board this time, the family soldier(s) of Thunderbolt Catapult Battalion are all well-trained boulder Expert. It was also a casualty accident, so preventive measures should be taken as soon as possible.

Another reason is that Lorist wants to avoid the turbulence and noise in the family during this time. The root of all this is that Lorist has placed a big list to make the black iron refining base and crossbow manufacturing that Grandmaster Sid and Grandmaster Fellin are responsible for. The base produced 50,000 crosses Ballista for the newly formed Hunting Cavalry Legion, and the manufacturing cost of a cross Ballista reached 38 gold fordes ...

No one expected that the cost of a cross Ballista would be so expensive. You need to know that the manufacturing cost of a Chariot Ballista is only 35 gold fordes, and the cross Ballista is so much less powerful than the Chariot Ballista large manufacturing cost. Chariot Ballista, the first Charade present at the time, shook their heads against it, and then Speer and Camora also heard the wind and unanimously expressed their objections.

Two days of arguing for a cross Ballista. Finally, Lorist released a big list to make 50,000 cross Ballista as Hunting Cavalry Legion standard long-range weapons, which made Hunting Cavalry Legion originally half a million long-range weapons. The purchase budget was overrun by nearly two million at a time, which led to the Charade and Speer directors and others not giving Lorist a good look these days.

No way, the Cross Ballista is expensive to manufacture, but the more expensive is its special bolt. Twenty bolts need one gold fordes, almost one bolt is equivalent to one large silver coin(s). Charade's objection is mainly that the cross Ballista is expensive and affordable, but the problem is that it does not launch bolt, but a large number of silver coin(s)!

One Hunting Cavalry Legion 60,000, four corps with 20 battalions, one battalion of 3,000, except for a Chariot Ballista battalion and those logistical supply groom chefs, at least 40,000 fighters, a cross Ballista One round of launching is equivalent to shooting two thousand gold fordes. Is this a fight or a drop of money? A suitable hunting cavalry needs continuous training to master the weapons in Expert, and these special bolt cannot be recovered. One launch is equivalent to scrapping and it needs to be returned to the forge. Therefore, the total cost of training bolt will be one for Charade. Thirty to fifty gold fordes, this is okay, on the spot against the Hunting Cavalry Legion equipment cross Ballista.

In fact, after Lorist placed this big list, they always felt a bit distorted in the technology tree. I did not expect that Grandmaster Sid and Grandmaster Fellin had no experience in studying dwarf rifles in the past two years, but made a breakthrough on the crossbow. The cross Ballista is actually a crossbow gun, its power already surpasses the old-fashioned smooth-bore grab.

The crossbow is different from the longbow. The longbow shoots 100 meters straight and throws 300 meters. This is recognized by Grindia Continent. However, after researching the Sid event, the best direct power of the longbow is only sixty to seventy meters. Within this distance, the archer is only half as likely to aim at the target to be fired, and the target is still. Think of a direct distance of one hundred meters. The target is only the size of a soybean. The archer can only aim and shoot by approximate estimation. If he can't shoot, it depends on luck. Of course, there is no rule that there is a talented perverted shooter like Jost, which can be hit in a hundred meters.

Grindia Continent is a Battle Qi world. Longbowmen can even combine Battle Qi and longbow to increase the power of bows and arrows. Like Silver Rank shooters can attach Battle Qi to the bows and arrows. They can penetrate gold and stone, so longbow is Recognized as the first long-range weapon. The crossbow relies on mechanical energy, slow winding, close range, and its inability to combine with Battle Qi is its main disadvantage. However, a longbow archer needs at least two years of training to qualify, while the crossbowman only needs three months of training to become a marksman, because easy to aim and shoot accurately is the greatest advantage of the crossbow.

The cross Ballista already designed by Grandmaster Sid and Grandmaster Fellin surpasses the long bow in some aspects. The steel and wood structure is modeled after the dwarf rifle can shoot against the shoulder. The winding principle is the lever principle. After firing, it can be easily wound immediately and the crossbow body A steel rod on the right can open the string, put on the bolt, and aim again to launch. Although it is not as fast as a trained longbowman's continuous shooting speed, it is several times faster than the old-fashioned stone crossbow.

The distance of seventy to eighty meters is the greatest advantage of this cross Ballista. Grandmaster Sid pledges its promise. Within this distance, a long archer and a cross Ballista shooter will face each other. The failure is definitely the long archer. Because the aim of the long archer can only be estimated by experience, the cross Ballista shooter can easily capture the target through the sight.

Although the Cross Ballista cannot shoot at a distance of 300 meters like the longbow, Grandmaster Sid has also designed a super long-range shooting. This is the combination of the advantages of Chariot Ballista, and a scale is also listed on the cross Ballista, allowing the launched bolt to reach the target with an arc, and it can cover the target at a distance of up to 150 meters.

The bolt of the cross Ballista is also specially made. The diamond-shaped arrow has armor-piercing performance, the arrow shaft is also steel semi-hollow, and the tail of the arrow shaft has three very thin iron blade tail wings. This is also the main reason that it cannot be recovered after launch. The bolt was scrapped as soon as the tail was damaged.

Lorist remembered the day when Yuri was holding the cross Ballista. I remember that Yuri said: "Lord(s), equip Hunting Cavalry Legion with this cross Ballista. I guarantee that Hunting Cavalry Legion will have the rolling Fisablen Family ride Legion Combat effectiveness. "

Maybe this sentence touched Lorist. Regardless of Charade's resolute opposition, he insisted on placing this big list. Now thinking about Lorist, I also have some regrets. Charade's opposition is actually very reasonable. He asked Grandmaster Sid and Grandmaster Fellin to handle this. Cross Ballista further improved to reduce the cost to less than 20 gold fordes, and further improved bolt, as long as the cost of one hundred gold fordes and one bolt.

But Grandmaster Sid and Grandmaster Fellin say that it is possible to improve the cross Ballista and bolt, but it takes time, at least two years. Lorist at that time made Hunting Cavalry Legion a combat force at an early date. In addition, relying on its wealth, it was said that it would first make 50,000 crosses Ballista and spare them for replacement. It was so angry that Charade was gone.

Schwartz already paved the Lorist with a simple march floor on the big tent. Lorist walked over to the floor and watched Schwartz busy boiling water to prepare tea for himself.

"Schwartz, I ask you, was it too hasty for me to make a list of 50,000 cross Ballista a few days ago?"

Schwartz froze for a moment: "Lord(s), I can't say ..."

"It's okay, you talk about your views. As an outsider, you may be more sober than we are."

"How do you say, Lord(s), I feel you are too anxious. During this time I found that you seem to be impatient, you seem to want to put Hunting Cavalry Legion equipment in place, and your already regards Fisablen Family as our Norton Family The enemy is average. This seems very contradictory. "Schwartz thought for a while.

"Contradictions? Why do you feel this way?" Lorist sat up.

Schwartz frowned and said, "Lord(s), if you confirm that Fisablen Family will immediately become our enemy, then you should stop the arms transaction with Fisablen Family. The arms they purchase from our family will not be traded until the end of next year. For some time, Fisablen Family could not be turned over with our family. Until now we have delivered one-third of the armament. If you think Fisablen Family will become an enemy, you should suspend this transaction. This should be better than if you formed Hunting Cavalry Legion to deal with them. Much more effective.

Also, the directors of Charade Knight(s) and Speer, and the director of Camora are also very reasonable. We actually don't lack time, so there is no need to place such a big list so early. The cross Ballista is not as perfect as I think it is. Its wire strings and special steel plate crossbow arms also need to be replaced frequently, which not only increases costs but also increases the difficulty of operation.

And Grandmaster Sid and Grandmaster Fellin also said that this Cross Ballista has just been designed and trial-manufactured, and it needs to be continuously improved. When you place an order for 50,000 Cross Ballista, the faces of Grandmaster Sid and Grandmaster Fellin are white. I suspect they simply cannot mass produce. It was only then that you said that the family had such a long-range shooting weapon at all costs, so they did not dare to object.

There is also the special bolt. It is said that the rear wing was inlaid by hand. The one hundred bolts brought this time are just one. Lord(s). If you think about it, 50,000 cross Ballista and one with 20 bolt will need 1 million. This depends on when you can build it by hand, it will not be completed in one year.

Charade Knight(s) makes a lot of sense. So many stone crossbows and riding bows in the family arsenal can be equipped with Hunting Cavalry Legion first. Their standard wire lock already is much better than Fisablen Family's Legion standard equipment. Then equipping the same weapon will also prevail, there is no need to equip such an expensive weapon as the cross Ballista. Otherwise Lord(s) you formed not Hunting Cavalry Legion but gold coin(s) Legion. "

Lorist laughed and laughed: "You're right, I'm so anxious about this matter. Give me a blank sheet and I give Charade Knight(s) an order to make him responsible for the improvement and procurement of Cross Ballista, I canceled the big order that I placed. I apologized and thanked him and the Speer director and Camora, I thought that it caused trouble to everyone.

In addition, Grandmaster Sid and Grandmaster Fellin each awarded a thousand gold fordes. This is a reward for designing and manufacturing Cross Ballista. At the same time, I hope they can improve Cross Ballista and reach the goals of mass production and family purchase as soon as possible.

I will also write a letter to the two Knight(s) of Joske and Yuri, explaining why the family cannot equip them with Cross Ballista at the moment. Please forgive me for canceling the order of Cross Ballista. I hope they use the family arsenal to store These equipment of the crossbow bow strictly trained the Hunting Cavalry Legion soldiers and formed combat effectiveness at an early date. "

"Yes, Lord(s), I'll prepare it for you right away." Schwartz said.

Because it is a temporary camp with no tables and chairs, Lorist finally wrote these two letters on a saddle that was unloaded.

"Schwartz, you are growing fast. It seems that in two years, you will be promoted to Silver Rank and I can transfer you to Legion for exercise. Do you want to be the leader of a camp?" Lorist asked while writing a letter Schwartz.

"No, Reidy Grand-master said that when I was promoted to Silver Rank, I could also learn Danhai air induction like him."

"Oh, you also need to learn Danhai bleed air?"

"Yes, teacher, I am your student, naturally follow your practice(d) method of this oriental monk to master the internal force. Brother Reidy Grand-master said that he is most happy to master the internal force and defeated at the Knight(s) contest Those Golden Rank's Swordsman and Knight(s) are effortless. "Schwartz said enviously.

"Uh, well, since you like it, so I will teach you the practice(d) method of an oriental monk, so you will be promoted to Silver."

Decided to hand over the affairs of the cross Ballista to Charade to handle Lorist. I finally let go of this matter, and gave the written order and letter to the Imperial Guard messenger. After a short sleep, when Schwartz woke him up to eat The sky was full of stars, and the sound of gurgling wheels came in the distance. After a while, I heard the Count Kenmays complaining voice: "Why does it run so fast, which caused me to chase for three hours, the road is so bad, the fart * stocks are numb ..."

"Who told you to take carriage ? Here are all the roads to the lower reaches of the Miduobuluo River, but not the avenues allowed by carriage . I could have hurried for another two hours, just to wait for you. Camp early. "Lorist complained.

Count Kenmays sits next to Lorist, first picks up the Lorist gold cup, pours a large glass of ale, and then naturally instructs Schwartz to give him a roasted lamb: "OK, Tomorrow I will also ride a horse. Who can think that there is no way to connect carriage here. It ’s a pure sin to take carriage . But your ale is good. You can drink ale to quench your thirst.

"Can your family Legion go to the waterfront today?" Lorist asked.

"Don't worry, they set off ten days earlier, even if they climbed, they should have reached it. We rushed off the road for three days, and they will not march for ten days along the road. Our family does not wish to raise one. The waste of Legion. "Count Kenmays answered affirmatively.

"Well, this time it ’s your family Legion and Hennard's family Legion who plays the protagonist. The momentum of nearly 100,000 people should make the Madras Dukedom on the other side look like the enemy and mobilize a large number of troops to confront you. Anyway, you just have to build momentum Just don't go to war with them easily, so as not to lose people. Just let Orville Keith and Thunderbolt Catapult Battalion go all the way. "Lorist urged.

"Well, understand, we'll hang them, and the decisive battle will start next spring, and we all know." Count Kenmays nodded.
