Chapter 817: War (Part 1)
A glorious church on an island, military workshop
"Listen to everyone, the weapons forged this time are for soldiers and military supplies."
"The warriors are fighting in the front, and we cannot slacken in the rear. I know that you have all been recruited from all directions. Let me tell you again now. Whether you come voluntarily, coerced, or criminals in prison, you can only have one belief here, that is, work well, and as long as the war is over, you will all get a lot of bounty and be free to be a free citizen."
"But if any of you dare to do it perfunctorily, hum, when dealing with military law, it will be much harder than my whip!"
A specific manager in the workshop, holding a whip in his hand, kept walking around in front of a group of people, and what he said was half comforting and half coercion.
The group of people in front of him had about four or five hundred people, all of whom looked like black and strong. They "hum" and hit the iron piece with iron hammers.
Under the coercion of this manager, no one dared to make any big moves.
There were many supervisors around them, and outside, there were many soldiers patrolling.
Although these craftsmen are many strong and strong, they are just comparing with ordinary people. They can barely fight against supervisors, but they only have two words to fight against the regular army outside - seeking death.
Perhaps it was because the sun was too sunny today, and the noise in the crowd could not stop. Although there was no big move, people were muttering in a low voice, talking in a low voice. One person and two people might not dare to speak, but if everyone around them were whispering, then people would be fearless if the law did not blame the public.
"Everything is quiet!" Seeing the chaos in front of him, he had a tendency to get out of control. The manager finally got angry. With a snap, he shook the whip in his hand, and a loud punch immediately put the scene under control.
Everyone looked at him in horror. It must have been a conditioned reflex that had been whipped a lot before. As soon as the whip sounded, they couldn't help but tremble.
"Look, someone is here..."
Just as the manager was about to give a lecture again, a burst of sand quickly swept from a distance, the sand and dust raised on the beach by horse's hooves.
Five war horses ran out of the sand.
There were five people sitting on the five war horses, and they were paladins at first glance. Just looking at their temperament, they were different from ordinary cavalry, with a kind of nobility.
Not to mention, the armor on them was filled with faint holy light, matching their tall bodies.
Moreover, I got off the boat and rode a horse, this...
"Who is the manager here?" When they came to everyone, the five knights held their horses and the leader of the knight swept over everyone and asked faintly.
"King Master, I am, what do you have to do?" The manager's eyes were very sharp, and he suddenly recognized the signs on these five knights, all of which were paladins of the Lord of the Glory.
These are all elites in the Lord of Glory Church. He is just a small manager in charge of the workshop. However, he has no identity and is close to the other party, and he does not dare to ask. The manager just answered the knight's question respectfully.
"We were ordered to get weapons. All the batches have been forged, right?" asked the knight in charge.
When the manager heard this, he quickly bowed and said, "This batch, a total of 3,000 pieces, has been forged, and is in the warehouse of the workshop."
"Lead ahead." The leader said, "We will take them away today."
"Yes, yes, but... can I let the young man take a look at the documents of several adults first?" the manager asked carefully.
Without a proof of identity, even if he was wearing the costumes of the Paladin of the Radiant Lord Church, the manager would not dare to hand over the forged weapons to them. This is the rule.
"Well, this is the rule, you can take a good look!" Knowing that the other party must have finished reading the document, he will be confident that he will hand over the things. The leader's knight did not talk much, took out something from his arms and threw it over.
The manager quickly took it and took it in his hand and looked carefully, and he felt half relieved.
This is a document, the order that needs to be presented for extracting weapons, and there is also a holy light on it, but even so, the manager greeted him.
A low-level pastor came up in the workshop, checked it, and said, "It is the official order of the church."
Documents can be faked, but the holy light cannot be faked. This is the guarantee of God's power. Of course, it is at least at level 16 or above, and such people don't do this.
The in charge immediately felt relieved and said to the five knights with a smile: "Several knights, since this is the case, please follow me!"
However, the document was not returned. He handed over the document to the supervisor behind him. After the supervisor took it to his hands, he took it to his arms expressionlessly.
"You all return to your respective positions to work. If you dare to be lazy, I will not forgive him!" He stared at everyone fiercely, and the manager walked towards the reverse of the warehouse with a smile.
"The face changed so quickly." The people who were recruited here were all blacksmiths. The oldest among them was over fifty years old. Although they were still very strong and their hair was gray, they were the captain of this team.
He watched the people leave, turned to everyone and said, "Okay, let's work. Today we have to complete a hundred standard long swords and a fine long sword. If you don't work hard, you will be hungry again."
"Uncle Monte, please tell me who will accompany you to forge the fine sword today?" someone asked in the crowd.
These people were recruited to this isolated island in order to continuously recycle weapons for the expeditionary forces and forge weapons. The weapons are depleted on the battlefield and new weapons are needed to be sent over continuously. This work is of course very heavy.
Moreover, the islands on the front line have heavy tasks, difficult supplies, and very difficult life.
However, everyone only saw the scenery or helplessness of the expeditionary army. No one noticed that behind the war, there were many people who also paid a heavy price.
Every day, people on this island die, either sick or killed by escaping and being caught and executed because they want to escape.
Now, people don’t want to escape anymore, they just want to complete the task on time and return to the day when the war ends.
"Big Wood, Little Cass, and you guys, all go to the stove, you guys, drag all the charcoal..." As soon as you entered the forging room, the old blacksmith commanded one by one.
He is the best-skilled blacksmith on the island. Almost every fine long sword is made by him. Other blacksmiths admire him very much and are naturally willing to work with him.
What's more, those who come to the fine forging houses have better food every day than others.
Those who can eat well and drink well are all the things these blacksmiths are asking for now.
"Come on, everyone! One, two, one, two, all have to do well! One, two, one, two..."
People yelled excitedly, and a large stove stood in front of them. More than a dozen people had already begun to push the huge wind wheel hard. Sweat beads kept dripping from their dark muscles. The temperature in this room was very high, slightly higher than that in other rooms. Everyone took off their shirts, naked upper body, and kept working hard.
Just as many blacksmiths were forging weapons, a huge group of warships was approaching quickly in the sea not far from them.
On the sea, the waves were surging and the waves were rolling. The targets of these warships were very clear, pointing directly to this small island on the sea.
On the other side, the blacksmiths were forging weapons. On the other side, the manager had already brought five knights to the warehouse where the top-grade weapons were stored.
Take out the key from your pocket, insert it into the hole, twist it a few times, and the door is opened, and the knights are brought into the warehouse.
All of them are weapons, placed on the shelf, emitting a cold light.
The manager opened another cabinet and took out five high-quality weapons. These five high-quality weapons were forged recently, and the cold light was even more sharp.
Generally speaking, their workshop only focuses on forging weapons. After the weapons are forged, the church will send large ships to pick them up and take them away from the island and to the battlefield.
These knights were obviously sent by the army, and the manager was very confident in handing over five high-quality weapons to their hands.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the weapon was acquired, the leader of the knight suddenly turned around and there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
"No, there are ships outside coming in this direction."
The other knights, including the in charge, looked at the knight. His words shocked everyone. Everyone on the island knew that if they were their own people coming, they would usually go to the dock at the other end, rather than docking from this direction. In this way, such a hidden island was discovered by others?
"Oh my God, it's an elves! It's an elves' ship!" Suddenly, heart-wrenching shouts came from outside.
Several people quickly walked out of the warehouse and walked outside. When the sea appeared in front of them, they were all stunned.
On the distant sea level, above the vast sea, the black warships were coming towards this side.
Because it was daytime, the flags of those warships could be clearly distinguished, and they were elves!
It's an elves' battleship!
Everyone took a deep breath. Everything that happened in front of them directly hit their hearts and made people unable to bear it. Under such a horrible visual impact, anyone will feel timid in their hearts.
"Quick! Notify the other side of the island! Let them send reinforcements!" The leader said to the person beside him.
"Yes! Captain!" A knight flew onto a horse and ran towards the other end of the island.
"Hurry, be prepared for defense!" On this side, the in charge also shouted, asking the blacksmiths to prepare for the battle.
Although the blacksmiths don’t like the environment here, they all know that if they fall into the hands of the elves, they will probably not survive and they will all fight to the death!
Monte and the others immediately led the craftsmen to take out their weapons.
So, a battle began.
Paladin Sanka did not expect that he would encounter attacks on the island where weapons were transporting. He shouted to his subordinates: "You command those soldiers!"
"Yes!" A knight immediately took over the command of the workshop soldiers. Although there were only thirty soldiers, they were also a small combat force.
The knight, without using his sword, waved the spear in his hand and prepared for battle.
"Natural Summoning Technique!" As soon as the ship leaned on the beach, the first thing that came down was not the warrior, but the druid's spell.
Just after a "buzz", hundreds of various summoning objects appeared suddenly, and they roared and rushed towards the humans.
"Damn, these evil elves!" Paladin Sanka roared and had to go forward to fight.
The elves have very small populations, so although they do not lack the courage to die, they do everything possible to use such driving spells.
Originally, the elves had the most druids, and this summoning plane animal projection was their best tactic.
"Bless my master!" As soon as he fought, the Paladin Sanka suddenly jumped off the horse in a terrifying manner.
"Boom!" A fireball exploded and the horse was immediately killed.
"Damn it, it's another ranged magic attack!"
Although the attack in front of him had the will to resist, the temporary craftsmen all showed fear expressions, and their movements were obviously slowed down.
"Kill, kill all humans without leaving any!" A cold order was passed from afar.
"Kill the follower of the Lord of Glory!" Paladin Sanka got up and shouted.
Suddenly, the shouts of killing the sky. Although the human side, although the counterattack is fierce, a few religious soldiers are even more vowed to fight to the death, the number of people is too different after all, and only one order is heard: "Shoot!"
There was a constant sound of puffing sound, and more than a dozen people in front of him had already responded, and there was Monte inside.
Hundreds of craftsmen, not even a single elves, were killed in ten minutes.
Although the Paladin in the lead is brave and good at fighting, the elves are strictly prohibited from stepping, and they are skillful in connecting the rhythm of the rushing, biting the enemy in front of them tightly without any chance of breathing.
A moment later, Paladin Sanka fell down, and a magical wound on his armor penetrated through. He opened his eyes and died with his eyes open.
Although many summoned objects were killed, even an elf was not killed.
How can you see the Lord of Glory after death?
"Well, the tactics are becoming more and more proficient." An elf commander said on the ship with satisfaction.
Summoning, ranged magic, bows and arrows are triassic attacks of elves, and are still saturated long-range attacks that Romon once used, especially in the case of huge disparity in numbers, which can minimize elves' casualties.
"Order: move away useful objects in the human workshop immediately and burn them all." The commander said, and at this time, an adjutant around him responded with a "splash" and recorded the order.
"Order: Devastating strikes on humans on the other side of the island."
"Order: Don't entangle with the soldiers scattered on the island, so as not to suffer losses in the opponent's guerrilla warfare."
"The above command time is two hours. After two hours, no matter what the matter is completed, retreat immediately."
The elf commander issued an order in an orderly manner.
"yes!"
After a moment, the flames rushed into the sky, the smoke rolled, and the commander's face calmly and ignored it.
Chapter completed!
