Chapter 209: New Army (Part 2)

"Well, you go down." Salin and Geyi finished their request and drove the thin pirate out.

After pondering for a while in front of the alchemy platform, Salin began to re-draw the alchemy drawings. There are no immigrants in the city yet, and he has no more than ten blacksmiths. Fortunately, the expeditionary army in the East China Sea has sent him a lot of weapons, otherwise he would have to wait for Rex to come back to make all the soldiers wear decent armor.

Neris sent the equipment retrieved from the wreck to the temple, and all the magicians were busy. These armor and weapons were soaked in sea water. If they were not processed, they would soon corrode and rust.

The armor in the East China Sea is somewhat similar to that of Yunliu. They are both leaf-type armor and need to be worn with leather ropes. In this way, the maintenance cost of armor will be much reduced, and maintenance is not required for too professionals. Soldiers can dismantle and clean the armor by themselves.

However, the armor of the generals in the East China Sea is relatively bad. Most officers' armor is fancy and whistle, and there are many unnecessary decorations. Judging from the material, it is not much better than the armor of soldiers. It is estimated that there are so many countries in the East China Sea, and there are not many minerals. Unlike the Meers continent, there are more than one hundred huge iron ores.

Among the armor that Nalis retrieved, there are a lot of copper, and it is estimated that Donghai copper is produced. Copper is more expensive than iron, but it is not as strong as iron when used to make armor. Moreover, copper is heavier, which is also a pressure on the load of soldiers.

More armor parts are made of non-metals, and many are simply polished from shells in the sea. Salin cuts it with an ordinary steel knife, splits the armor leaves directly, and cuts the leather armor behind.

This kind of armor has a very low defense! Salin was a little depressed. He didn't expect that he had obtained so much equipment and selected it would only have hundreds of sets of them. Most of the armor was OK for peasant militias, but if the elite troops were equipped, it would be a joke.

Salin had to concentrate all the magicians and began to refine the armor he designed. These spoils are not useless, at least the styles of these armors are much better than Salin's designs, and they are more suitable for maintenance.

The red krill's carapace was shattered, mixed with magic potions, added colloids, and used magic arrays to refine them into various armor parts. After refining the shells of these monsters, they became even stronger. Salin used a steel knife to conduct the experiment of chopping again, and with his advanced swordsman's power, he did not cut the armor leaves open.

The quality of the inner lining of the trophy is quite good. With the outer armor leaf refined by Salin, the defense power is hundreds of times longer. Of course, this armor has almost no defense for heavy weapons. If the battle axe is chopped up, because the armor leaf is connected together with leather ropes and has no overall buffering ability, the soldiers will inevitably be seriously injured.

However, Salin could not refine advanced magic armor for all soldiers. This most basic biological armor has become nearly pure steel armor in terms of defense, and can easily bless magic. It is an amazing invention.

This is the original intention of Salin to make this kind of armor. Rex has enough low-level mages, but when a mage blesses magic, what he most fears is the metal armor on the soldiers. Most metals do not have elemental affinity. Many magical things that want to be blessed on the soldiers are a huge test for the magician's magic string consumption.

It’s not that it is impossible to bless magic by wearing metal armor. The problem is that if a soldier wears a full set of steel armor and Salin blesses the soldier’s ice pattern armor, the ice pattern armor will freeze the soldier’s steel armor and the soldier will not be able to move at all.

The armor designed by Salin is different. The shell of the monster itself has elemental affinity. Even low-level mages can easily bless the soldiers wearing this armor with magic. Salin has now seized the magic chariot. The mage releases magic on the chariot and saves a lot of magic strings.

The armor designed by Salin requires a large number of monster shells. If it were someone else, it would be difficult to achieve even if he had such an idea. Salin hunted a large number of level 4 monster red krill in the frozen sea, and now it finally came in handy. Generally, magic armor carved out magic patterns on metal armor and filled it with expensive magic materials to have a certain elemental affinity and is very expensive to build. The armor like Salin is not cheap, but it is too easy to repair.

After making a set of examples, Salin handed over the creation of armor to the mages and began to redesign weapons by himself.

With the trophy as a reference, Salin's ideas have now been explored a lot. He first designed the most important main weapon for the barbarians, the axe and halberd. The axe and halberd are very popular in various countries. They are the favorite weapons of the strong men. They have sharp thorns on the front and then a relatively long axe blade, which generally weighs more than 60 kilograms.

Such a heavy weapon, unless the enemy is wearing the fully enclosed heavy Kai from ancient times, which can disperse the impact. Otherwise, even if the armor is not cracked, the human bones will be broken. If the heavy cavalry holds an axe and halberd, there is almost no armor that cannot be cracked, and the long spikes on the front can penetrate into the thickest part of the armor.

Considering that the barbarians don't like too long weapons, Salin shortened the axe and halberd, lengthened the axe blade, maintained the weight, and designed a small crescent moon on the other side of the axe blade. This is like a deformed aspect axe, but the armor-breaking ability is stronger than the aspect axe.

Salin designed weapons like this with his intention. On the battlefield, ordinary soldiers have a great effect. The barbarians have strong power. It is not a problem to siege a high-level swordsman with such a weapon. The sword energy of the swordsman cannot resist such heavy weapons at all. Because the battlefield is not a private fight, it may be attacked from all directions, and the swordsman's skills are relatively weak. As long as there are more than three barbarians siege, the swordsman's end will be very tragic.

When Salin was a low-level mage, he carefully calculated that only about twenty soldiers were needed to kill him in a suitable environment. The so-called suitable environment refers to the environment where the magician could not use the terrain. The horse was flat, and the soldiers flocked to it, and the low-level mage could not stop it.

If Salin didn't have that mysterious gourd and could frequently use the water flow to cut the magic, he would not be able to face the siege of more than twenty high-level sword masters. More importantly, Salin could already fly. No matter how powerful a mage who could not fly, he would not be able to fight with too many enemies.

Salin could fly up by himself, but his mages could not. So Salin did not allow his mage to fight directly with the enemy, but instead asked the mage to bless the soldiers with magic and improve the soldiers' combat effectiveness. This is the role of the mage on the battlefield.

In fact, Salin has not yet known what combat effectiveness the armies of various countries on the mainland are. When he saw the swordsman camp in Rex's hand, he thought that it was what all the troops should look like. Later, he saw Qin Yin's army in Xizhen of Holy Rock City, which made him even more impressed. But in fact, how many soldiers in the army all have the strength of swordsmen?

Salin tried the strength of the armor by himself. His physical strength reached the level of a high-level swordsman. He also held a sharp steel knife and chopped the armor at a vertical angle. The stone platform was placed under the armor. If you slash it, unless it was a magical equipment, even iron armor could cut a hole.

It is precisely because of this misunderstanding that Salin accidentally established a terrifying army. This kind of army has appeared in the history of the mainland. Every soldier is equipped with excellent weapons, but that was at least a few thousand years ago. Before the Fourth Dynasty collapsed, the Royal Swordsman Camp was the standard configuration, and each soldier was wearing low-level magic armor.

Magicians have a decisive role in the battlefield, but soldiers are essential to defeat the enemy. Salin must arm each soldier to his teeth, and in his army, even auxiliary soldiers must be able to withstand high-intensity battles. This is his idea, which is very unrealistic, but Salin is doing it little by little.

In the past few months, Salin has taken over the army of the two nobles who surrendered to him through some means. The combat effectiveness of these nobles is quite good, but Salin cannot be incorporated into his own team for the time being, but let them train separately. In contrast, the pirates followed Salin and made Salin change their views on the pirates.

Who doesn't want to make a name for themselves? The pirates are not stupid and find that there is a huge opportunity here. These people are also trying their best to train. Salin is not clear, but the pirates know that no one else will invest more in them. Now the pirates almost have two alchemy weapons, and their daily diet is mainly meat-eating. All kinds of fish and shrimp are carefully processed and expensive seasonings are added. These seasonings are generally used by nobles. Rex left a lot for Salin, and Salin didn't know how to cherish them, so they were used for the pirates.

The four monster swordsmen have reached the level of a primary sword saint. These four people are good at strength and have been teaching pirates' fighting skills. The pirates now have a double-edged scimitar, and the inner curved blades are all sharp serrated. Such weapons can only be kept sharp by alchemy, otherwise they will be destroyed if they are used a few times.

The most important thing Salin does is to provide the soldiers with sharp arrows.

All soldiers must practice archery, but other troops will not do so, but set up archers separately. Salin is different here, because at the beginning, Salin must focus on defense, and bows and arrows become extremely important. As long as you guard the city walls and shoot down with bows and arrows, you can gain the advantage of the terrain, Salin can defend the city even if it is insufficient in staff.

At the same time, Salin also has an advantage, that is, all Caucasians and barbarians are good at archery, or have the talent for archery. Now Salin has obtained a large number of crossbows in the shipwreck, which can match each soldier with a crossbow box.

Under the leadership of Salin, more than a dozen magicians can create more than twenty sets of low-level magic armor every day. These armors themselves do not store any magic, but can easily bless magic on it. A month passed in a blink of an eye. It was already March, and the weather did not warm up, but Salin had to send someone to pick up Rex.
