When the first wave of huge rain of arrows fell, Deyong sneered behind him. If it were an ordinary army, he might be afraid of the rain of arrows of this size, but now he led his father, who had exhausted almost all his war resources and carefully built a heavy infantry regiment.

Orcs are short of iron!

It’s not that their empire has no mines, but because the overall industry of the empire is very backward, there are few large-scale smelting of steel. There are many leather and vines. These can be obtained locally from nature and then simply processed.

Most orcs are equipped with these relatively backward armor. As for the rare iron armor that has too high industrial requirements, they can almost only rely on plundering and plundering from other races, especially human races. However, due to the relatively weak humans, most orcs are tall and strong. The armor taken from dead people is actually unusable, and the result of forced wear is to burst!

These rare iron equipment cannot be used directly, which does not mean that they are useless. As long as craftsmen return them to the furnace and transform them, these problems can be solved. Therefore, in the later orc plundering, there is also the need for plundering craftsmen, mainly humans and dwarf craftsmen. After being arrested, they are imprisoned and used various methods to force them to transform equipment for orcs.

Some people have questions, how to transform it? Could it be that it is to rebuild it after the iron is integrated? So what is the difference between this and recasting? It is difficult for ordinary craftsmen to be competent?

You are not wrong. If you follow this method, the difficulty and output will be greatly limited.

Let's actually transform a piece of equipment?

Suppose the orc took off a spoil from a poor human heavy-armored warrior, which is a pair of iron wrist guards! Both the craftsmanship and the materials are excellent, what should the orc do if they want to use it?

How big are the human arms and wrists? How big are the orcs' arms and wrists? You will definitely not be able to fit them in directly!

How difficult is it to melt it directly into molten iron and then recast it? How much manpower will it take?

Actually, that's what it did?

The iron wrist guards produced by humans are generally cylindrical, and the whole is one piece. As long as these arrested craftsmen heat it up, use tools to break the cylinder, then break it while it is hot, expand its diameter, and then drill some small holes on both sides...

After cooling down, some leather ropes are penetrated into these small air, and the transformation is completed!

When using the orc warrior, because the wrist guard has been broken, the wrist can be accommodated, adjust the orientation and tied it with a leather rope, and this is done. These processed iron wrist guards have not low actual defense... They are deeply loved by orc soldiers!

What if there is a set of heavy iron breastplate? The orc soldier's physique is completely different from that of humans...

There is also a way! Just separate the shoulders of the iron armor from the back and the front chest and back after processing, and then saw the waistlines on both sides and install the corresponding leather rope. For such modified armor, the front chest and back have a whole piece of iron armor, and the middle is fixed with leather rope. The shoulders can also be made into recommended shoulder armor to fix them, which is also a good orc breastplate.

Someone is going to ask, what should I do?

The handling of leg guards is a bit troublesome. It needs to break down human iron pants into strips, then use leather skirts as linings and tie them with leather ropes to form the type of iron skirt, which can also play a certain protective role. Similarly, other parts of helmets can also be done in this way. In order to prevent someone from saying that I cheated on words, I won't go into details here! In summary, orcs do not have the ability to make steel armor in batches, but they can "copy" some things.

However, there is still a gap between genuine and copycat products. If it is genuine human heavy armor, you can completely ignore the arrow rain because it has almost no defensive corners. These simple processing through copycats are different. The gap between these leather ropes is the real blind corners!

The orcs themselves understand this better than everyone else. They will pay great attention to avoiding arrows shot into these areas. The people of the bullhead can erect large shields to cover them. The tigers do not have shields, so they have to think of other tricks...

These guys expose more parts of their bodies with high defense, while dangerous positions are covered with weapons or their arms. This may reduce the speed slightly, but the harm will be minimized accordingly.

In fact, this seemingly amazing rain of arrows still caused some losses to the orcs. It is impossible for everyone to protect themselves so well. There are always some unlucky guys who are shot by a certain unlucky arrow. The mortality rate is not high, but the injury rate is still some...

Lynch was not satisfied because he felt that he had put so much effort into organizing long-range troops and the attack did not achieve the expected goal. Deyong was also not satisfied. In his opinion, what he was most afraid of was the baptism of arrow rain, and casualties should be controlled at a very small range.

Without talking about the ideas of the commanders on both sides, the battle has to continue...

Lynch is going to take a killer move...

The Royal Mage Group was built by Lin Tian with hard work. It has a small number of people and has maintained a scale of 10,000 people. The strength of the personnel is not strong. The average is level 3 peak combat power. In other words, it is the strength between a primary magician and an intermediate magician. Because mages are relatively rare and more powerful, Lin Tian rarely lets them show up.

It may be a little different from the noble mages we generally think. The mages of the Royal Mage Group do not know much magic and their magic level is not high. They usually have small magic balls, ice arrows, wind blades, electric balls, stone bullets, and a small number of more powerful ones may fire some large fireballs, lightning, ground thorns, etc. However, these people are captains or elite level, and the number is even smaller. The real scale is also some small magic!

Don't think that these royal mages are useless just because they are all small magic...

If we talk about defense, movement, and even vitality, these mages are all scum among the scum. In order not to affect the absorption of magic elements, they are almost all wearing cloth robes, and a few of them wearing leather armor are already alternative, let alone metal equipment that will obviously affect the gathering of elements. This directly restricts their ability to resist ordinary attacks, and it is normal to have low defense!

In terms of vitality, these mages prefer to spend a lot of time meditating and experiencing the elemental world. While their mental power exceeds others, they cannot sustain physical strength like warriors, so they are also at a disadvantage in terms of physical strength and mobility.
