After an unprecedented chaos in scale, the small city of Burgundy has once again returned to its busy and rapid development movement.
"The Linobili Chamber of Commerce has opened up a new trade route, opening up the market for our first stone carvings along Romanti, and five well-known sculptors have come to the city to settle down & now the order has been
It’s too much... Our stonemason has delivered about fifty finished products in these two ten days, but the accumulated orders are at least a few hundred..."
Old John, who had completed a rough transformation from a blacksmith to an old housekeeper, bent down and reported to the young lord the recent development of the territory. He was obviously enthusiastic about this new identity, and his title was
The vanity he came made him more devoted to his work, even though his only loyalty was obviously absent-minded at this moment.
"In terms of teaching words, the children learn very quickly, but ordinary guys... Well, the people are not very interested, but we are trying to use some other methods to guide their interests.
In Annasu, well, ahem, in short, we have built a theater and set up signs everywhere in the city, forbidding them to promote by shouting. On the one hand, they can recognize some simple words, and on the other hand, they can also
Make the city quieter..."
Edward casually flipped through the accounts of the territory stone and stone statue transactions in his hand, and noticed that the hand letter on the paper was a beautiful Rococo font - focusing on every subtle connection, between delicate and soft. There was a kind of pride that showed the pen.
, without guessing, you know who it was made by.
In fact, on his left hand, a stack of papers filled with such fonts had been placed, from taxes to expenditures, the confiscation of the two bandits, the mobilization of personnel and material production capacity. It was detailed in all aspects of the territory...
...The items that are organized in extremely well organized are even accurate to the level of hourglass.
"Good... Very good, very meticulous."
Tap the table gently. A compliment made the old blacksmith stop chatting. He praised softly, his eyes on his side. The person who was truly worthy of praise stopped on his face, but Anna Su just turned his head, as if he was expressing his gratitude to someone.
Define the relationship between the guy she has raped here.
"His Excellency Edward, there is a riot about this time, and my negligence has caused a mistake in judgment...I am willing to bear your punishment."
The half-elf mercenary lowered his head slightly and spoke in a low voice, his face pale and blood-colored - it was not easy to erect hundreds of corpses on the roadside, especially killing more than two hundred prisoners who had no ability to resist
... What's more, you have to see the scenes of crows pecking at corpses. This is not an easy thing for mercenaries who have been through the battlefield.
Of course. In fact, it is not him who should apologize, but someone who regards himself as the city lord and makes a judgment. However, this lady in the territory does not have a substantial identity, so she cannot blame her.
In the impression of the residents in the city, her status comes from speculation about her relationship with Edward.
As for what kind of relationship it is... there is no conclusion. After all, the mysterious lord has been following three beautiful women, heroic, cute and dignified, which is enough to arouse the imagination of several big cars. And this
It is also one of the best pastimes for the whole Burgundian people after dinner.
"It's not your responsibility. I'm not thinking carefully." Withdrawing the interesting gaze from Anna Su, Edward waved his hand and exposed the matter.
In fact, this time, something was somewhat an unpredictable accident, so punishing anyone is nothing more than a sign of stupidity.
First of all, the biggest reason is that in the second half of this underground adventure, he almost completely put the city affairs in his heart. Everything is being carried out for one purpose...
The first problem arose at this time - after returning to the territory, he realized that time had unknowingly entered the second half of the sunny moon, which was already the beginning of Mid-Autumn Festival in this world, and it was far from him
When I left, at least two decades had passed.
Of course, although the dark area is deep and dangerous, and there are also the dangers of earth veins radiation, I have never heard of it. So the only problem that can be imagined in my memory is probably the ancient portal... It is said that this multi-dimensional
Any portal in the universe is connected to the astral realm, and the time in the astral realm is very different from the main material plane.
After such a long time, the most direct problem is that the spiritual energy he imposed on those old guys has failed, so they naturally no longer have any nostalgia for this place...
Of course, if he hadn't obtained some secrets about the magic array of the Heavenly Ting Tower here, he suspected that those old guys might have noticed the fact that they were controlled - just investing in the magic array of the tower
The energy used to stimulate the power loss used by certain magic circles is already a wealth that is hard to exchange for. If they are angry, Edward will probably face the anger of several formal mages when he comes back.
Burgundy of ashes.
Then there was the team of wolf claws sent by His Majesty the King.
The purpose of these people coming was clear but vague... The Supreme One should have known some friction with the demon wolf, but no matter whether he intended it or was unintentional, this time the attack should obviously exceed his.
plan.
But it is also because of this that Edward saw many shortcomings in Burgundy.
This small territory has changed from a place of rest prepared at the beginning to a home to a high-profile conflict center. Now, it is related to the open and secret struggle between His Majesty the King and a Duke, and in the near future,
It may be the believers of the Dawn Body on the entire continent... Therefore, the original setting of this city is already difficult to deal with these subsequent changes.
For a predictable battle, you need to be prepared to defend against attacks of tens of thousands of people.
However, I know my own affairs—the existing security forces or city guards in Burgundy are only about 300 people.
Except for dozens of original half-elves, the rest were selected from the civilians in the city, most of whom were young people aged 16 to 25, who had undergone some training as a standing army. However, today
In a battle, the strength they showed was disappointing. The mercenaries, as the main force, had poor judgment, while the civilian soldiers lacked decisiveness and were just magically destroyed by the opponent.
Edward couldn't help but sigh.
He originally planned to train these characters slowly, but now it seems that the time left for him is still not much.
In fact, if the requirements are based on standard city defense, the number of existing Burgundy soldiers can guard a wall is considered to be considered a little better. With the support of the giants, it may be better, but if it encounters a large scale
The siege, this density of defense is still a drop in the bucket...
After all, this city that can be regarded as a new cluster still lacks the base of its population.
It can only be relied on some personal abilities to supplement.
But next, his power may be further weakened.
Although during this period, some of the secretly excavated spatial structures located below the city can be used to station new and secret combat power, and the return of the little girl and the others is enough to increase the overall combat power - but as determined by the previous
After the strategy, he had to send the earth element creatures out for a period of time, which would obviously create unprecedented emptiness in combat effectiveness and defense.
At the same time, we have to reserve some energy to deal with emergencies - who knows when Lord Ariele will suddenly come on a whim?
"Appoint all the young men to join the martial arts training. There are also some strong women. At least they should learn to shoot arrows," he said after a brief thought.
"...In that case, their abilities are simply unavailable."
The lady at the staff immediately frowned her beautiful platinum brow: "Such soldiers may easily collapse when facing real battles. So my suggestion is to choose a mercenary..."
"No need, unless you choose to stay in this city for a long time and join the mercenary of the city's guards, it is not worth my trust." Edward waved his hand and continued: "Training is to draw two hourglass every day, and other times
They can still do their own work or farm work. You try to choose strong craftsmen and skilled hunters. In this way, you only need to train them to obey orders, wield the tomahawk, or draw a bow according to the characteristics of these people.
Just shoot arrows. I don’t ask them to fully master all weapons, but at least they must learn to shoot arrows."
"This is no problem." The half-elf nodded slightly, as if she had finally recovered a little confidence.
Basically, it is not a news that the whole nation is in this plane with relatively low productivity and manpower. These farmers who originally belonged to a certain territory actually have some such experience. Therefore, adapting should be very easy. And this
The characteristic of training is that it can be effective quickly. Although these ordinary people cannot compare with elite knights, they at least ensure that they have a certain combat effectiveness.
"Standing attentively, resting, turning left, turning right, you give these movements to them, and then pulling them into a row and moving forward, with the same steps as left and right feet. In this way, one hourglass is the remaining one every day.
Hourglass, ordinary soldiers strengthen their understanding of weapons, and I will draw out patterns for the weapons they send to them, you send them to the blacksmiths, let them open the furnace and forge them, and in addition, they will forge at least six hundred pieces of armor.
.”
Of course, the idea of a certain city lord is not that simple. In the next two hourglass scales, he showed the half-elf a few weird movements, and then gave him a pattern with a kind of pattern on it.
arms.
Special double-handed sword.
"This... Lord, isn't such a large weapon a little too difficult for ordinary people to master?"
"Lord, it seems that it is not difficult to forge such things, but we don't have so many iron ore and we don't have so many people?"
"Do you know how long it takes for six hundred pieces of mail?"
The three people around the table frowned at the same time. At the same time, they raised three different but crucial questions.
However, of course, this cannot defeat the young lord.
"There are only one kind of martial arts training performed by the soldiers who joined by these ordinary people. That is, lift the weapon diagonally onto the left shoulder, and step forward quickly, and go downward."
The big sword raised its shoulders diagonally, and slashed hard from the upper left to the lower right, slashing towards the nearest enemy with great momentum. This is a tactic that gives up any skills. Everything everyone does is to take a knife from the front and strive to connect with the other party.
The weapons and armor were split together.
Melianne's brows stretched out.
Years of experience in mercenaries made it easy for him to understand the meaning of the commands of the young lord.
This trick does seem simple, but it is because it is simple, but there is no flaw. Usually, it is impossible to give the warriors too much reaction time to play some tricks. If you encounter an opponent who is too high, these peasants will be considered
There is no meaning to go up. Therefore, no martial arts that are trained thousands of times are as simple as effective - such a slash is the best method, and such a powerful and slash is difficult to stop.
It is impossible to have a chance to retreat. It is the most suitable one to use as a battle on a battle formation.
"Iron ore is not a problem. I will build a furnace next. You just need to find the manpower that can beat the steel billet."
Edward's answer to the old blacksmith's question was relatively simple, but the things he took out were not that simple... The dozens of gold gold ingots made the old man's eyes almost glaring than the gold ingots.
It's even bigger
Things like pure gold are scarce for others, but for nouveau riche like Edward, it is not a rare thing.
As for Annasu’s problem.
In terms of making a ring mail, it is indeed the most difficult of all armors.
First, we must pull the steel into thick steel wire, then beat it into iron bars and circle it into iron rings. The iron rings must be worn one by one, and the gaps in the iron ring must be repaired to become a complete iron ring.
It is a very time-consuming work. Twelve or three people work together and only create a pair of chain mail in a day. Even so, the protective performance of the made mail is actually not good. It is OK to deal with arrows, but it cannot resist it at all.
Heavy weapons such as battle axes and big swords can cause damage even if the sting of the long sword is stinged.
However, what Anna Su didn't know was that in Baiyang Town, mail was the most popular standard equipment, because it didn't require much technology when making it. Ordinary farmers could start making it after half a day of training.
At that time, Edward would usually distribute this job to civilians. If a hundred people cooperate, it would not be a problem to produce more than ten or twenty pieces a day.
Bows are a weapon that is very suitable for use on the battlefield. They have good firing rate, range and sufficient power. The most important thing is that the flexibility of the bow is much better than the crossbow - just this kind of weapon, in this world
On the other hand, it seems that it has begun to be included in the ranks of elimination.
Although adventurers have never lacked archers with outstanding abilities, there are not many lords who can organize large-scale bow and archery troops in the army. There are too many ways to deal with long-range weapons. The simplest thing is to wear
The previous piece of armor does not require heavy armor at all. Just a random chain mail can make most long-range weapons useless. The second biggest nemesis besides armor is the shield. Whether it is a wooden shield or a vine
Both a shield or a metal shield can make long-range weapons lose their power. This does not require any special technology.
As for the magic that can restrain long-range weapons, there are countless. Defensive barriers, shielding force fields, and illusions can make long-range weapons meaningless. One of the simple ways is to directly blow a strong gust of wind. A second-ring spell
It's enough to make the bow and arrow useless.
Therefore, Tuminis' long-range attack is more focused on mages. A formal mage can launch four fireball attacks. The damage caused by the flames blasted in the opponent's formation is not necessarily caused by a rain of arrows of hundreds of people.
The damage is small, and the bow is not easy to make. It requires wood, steel, glue, and arrows, and even more are needed. Therefore, the usual bow and arrow array can only support every soldier.
Twenty arrows, don’t underestimate this number. The configuration of archers with a thousand people is 20,000 arrows. Just carrying these things requires more manpower and material resources.
After all, training a archer is much easier than training a magician. Moreover, if a magician wants to show his power, he must at least leave the apprenticeship class and come into contact with spells around the third ring, but the archer is different. As long as they are organized into
The power of the queue will not be small, especially when dealing with unevenly equipped peasant soldiers, it is extremely effective in destructive weapons and is very likely to cause fatal chaos.
...
"Little guy, you're doing a really good job."
Edward raised his eyebrows.
That sound echoed around him, but the illusory part means it is
Of course, the key is that the sound
The ribbon of light poked out from the vortex erupting from the crack, and then it immediately began to curl. It then split into lightning and drilled into the vortex and ran around.^^No window reading^_^
