"How is the situation in the north of Kaslo?" Roland asked, looking at Kaslo who had just returned from the investigation.
"The orcs have set up camp a hundred miles north of Irub City. It seems to be a semi-permanent camp." Kaslo said.
“We’ve set up camp,” Roland said in surprise.
"Yes, I don’t know the exact number, but it is definitely over 10,000, and the Orcs this time are very well equipped. Compared with them, the Orcs in the Wasteland are looking up to them like beggars. Oh, Sir, we should Go get some wine." Kaslo grabbed the cup and took a sip of water, then smashed it into his mouth, disgusted by the bland taste of the water.
"Hahaha, after we finish dealing with these orcs, I'll treat you to a drink." Roland was amused by Kaslo and laughed heartily.
"Okay, let's get down to business. I think this group of orcs should be the orcs from the northern wasteland." Roland carefully speculated on the sand table for a long time, and finally said.
"Why?" Kaslo held a grilled fish and started to eat it.
"You're so rude," Roland said helplessly as he looked at the hand reaching for his dinner plate.
"I haven't eaten for half a day."
"Okay, let's talk about this group of orcs. Their behavior of stationing is so strange." Roland said.
"Is it any wonder that they naturally have to camp to rest when they are tired?" Kaslo said.
"No, no, no, you said their camp is semi-permanent, so why do they want to build a semi-permanent camp?" Roland asked.
"Sir, you mean they are waiting for reinforcements" Kaslo's eyes widened.
"Of course, this time the orcs plan to catch us all in one fell swoop. Los Sanil City has been discovered by Azog, and Swift River City has been hidden until now because it is separated by a swift river. . The failure of the wasteland orcs must have been known to them, so they will not attack without complete assurance." Roland analyzed.
"So this group of orcs should come from the northern wilderness area, and they are waiting for the orcs from Dol Guldur and Gambada Fortress to attack together." Roland sneered.
"What should we do? Should we tell them the news?" Kaslo also became anxious.
"What's the use of telling them?" Roland asked.
""Caslow was speechless.
"The orcs are playing tricks, and we can only passively accept them. Instead of caring about this, we should train the soldiers well." Roland said lightly.
"Okay, you eat slowly, I'm going to see how Lance's work is going." Roland stood up and walked out of the tent.
"This is the finished product." Roland curiously looked left and right at the heavy crossbow machine in front of him.
"Yes, how about your highness, this is a heavy-duty city defense crossbow?" Lance proudly introduced the killer weapon in front of him.
"The arm of the heavy city defense crossbow is 5 meters long, and it fires a 3-meter standard crossbow gun with an effective range of 2,000 meters. Of course, if the crossbow gun runs out, you can also use a standard ragLong spear shot. "Lance looked at the finished product in front of him with satisfaction and said to Roland.
"The Lagran spear uses this thing," Roland said in surprise.
"Yes, its crossbow arrows are Designed according to the standard Lagrang spear. "Lance said matter-of-factly. When this thing was originally designed, it was considered to be compatible with soldiers' weapons.
The birth of this big killer weapon was because Roland signed in and got twelve dragon tendon crossbow strings. This thing can be used The entire production process takes several years to make dragon tendons. Smaug's dragon tendons will also be secretly made into crossbow strings in the future.
"How many can we make?" Roland patted this. Tai Zhongnu turned his head and asked.
"Your Highness, 12 Tai, you know that we only have 12 qualified crossbow strings, and the other untreated dragon tendons cannot be used at all. "Lance said regretfully.
"Yes, I'm greedy." Roland also fantasized about filling the head of Swift Current City with these things, but now it seems that only three pairs can be placed on a wall at most.
"Let's do it all soon and set up three auxiliaries on one wall. The war is not far away from us. "Roland ordered.
"Yes, Your Highness. "Lance nodded. The situation is urgent now. Rapid City urgently needs these defense facilities to strengthen its defense force.
"Hey, isn't this a heavy-duty city defense crossbow? When did we have such a good thing?" Renault I just came back from patrol and saw that heavy crossbow with claws and teeth.
“Lance just made it today. "Roland said.
"Yes, yes, with this thing, we have more tactics. However, forgive me for being disrespectful, Your Highness, how many Taicheng crossbows do we have? "Marcus emerged from behind Renault. He had just finished today's training.
"Up to 12 units, and the orcs will need to give us time to make them. "Lance stroked his collar and stood up.
"Well, for large equipment, just slow down. "Marcus expressed his understanding.
"Hehehe, with this thing, high-level half-orc professionals are in danger. "Marcus had a weird smile on his lips.
"What did you think of?" Roland asked curiously.
"Hehehehe" Marcus turned his attention to Radil
"I'm going to tell you what you're going to do with the enchanted crossbow." Lang suddenly understood his plan. "Roland's interest was aroused.
"Your Highness, it seems that you have to contribute some dragon blood. "Lance covered his face, not wanting to look at Marcus's useless look.
"Oh," Roland said puzzled.
"Use dragon blood-tempered steel to create enchantments "Crossbow" the well-informed Renault quickly reacted.
"This is such a waste." Kaslo's eyes widened. Although Smaug had a lot of dragon blood, it was not used to temper it. Steel is too wasteful. The best way to use dragon's blood is to use the alchemist's alchemy to fuse the dragon's blood into various rare metals or materials to create magical materials containing dragon magic.The direct quenching method is too wasteful.
“But we don’t have an alchemist, so we can only use the quenching method to make magic materials and let Sir Radil carve magic patterns to make enchanted crossbows.” Marcus spread his hands aggrievedly. , although it is wasteful to do so, there is no other way, otherwise Radil, who does not have magic materials, cannot conjure enchanted equipment out of thin air.
“Don’t we have a lava forging furnace?” Roland said in surprise. You must know that the lava forging furnace is specialized in manufacturing magic equipment.
"Your Highness, we are not dwarves. We don't have rare metals unless we melt our weapons." Renault poured a basin of cold water over.
""Roland.
"Now that the war is imminent, we urgently need to improve our strength. I think this sacrifice is acceptable. After all, only by keeping Rapid City can we be qualified to claim the glory of the empire," Marcus said slowly. .
Everyone was speechless for a moment. Although the simple and crude use of dragon blood made people feel distressed, if they could not protect their only territory, then no amount of wealth would be worthless.
"You are right," Roland affirmed. Compared with the gain or loss of wealth, Roland was more concerned about whether the crown on his head was securely worn.
"Just go ahead and do it, I will fully support you." Roland encouraged Marcus. Please remember to collect it. The website is the latest and fastest without anti-theft. To find books and add books for free, you can join the qq group 952868558
