Chapter 32: The Underground Armory
Although they do not live in the Dekenhof Castle, there are still many vampires working in the castle during the day. They are mainly engaged in alchemy experiments, manufacturing alchemy equipment, or manufacturing high-level undeads, producing more powerful magic weapons and armor used by advanced undeads or vampires.
The vampires contracted to the human manufacturers of Sylvania for ordinary skeleton soldiers. However, for high-level weapons, those precious black iron, mitril silver, and fine gold weapons. Vampires produced them themselves.
Under the Dekenhof Castle, there is a complete production line. The vampires work on the production line, use their magic power to forge metal, draw magic runes for armor and weapons, and attach magic. Sets of armor, weapons, and staff are continuously produced. They are sent to the front line of the border to supplement the losses there. Or they are also equipped with the same newly created advanced undeads. As reserve forces, they are stored in the arms warehouse underground of the castle.
This can be said to be the most important secret of the Castein family, and its importance may be greater than the treasure of the Castein family on the surface. To this day, in the hollowed-out underground armament warehouses, more than 20,000 high-level undeads, and ordinary skeleton soldiers who are more than ten times more than this number. The precious stone tomb corpse monsters, black knights, blood holy grail knights, and even three huge undead dragons are quietly parked in the arms warehouse without light sources, waiting for the summoning of their vampire masters.
This is a large army accumulated by three generations of Counts of the Kastein family over the past few hundred years. Its combat effectiveness is greater than that of other hostile countries, and the total number of troops in Sylvania is greater. The other three families, Lamiya, Nirakochi and Aberhracin, also have similar reserve forces.
The vampires accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity. Then they make a big splash. Whenever the opportunity is right, or their number increases to a certain extent, the vampires will attack the realm of the living along the footsteps of their ancestors. At this time, the undead army ruled by the vampires will reach an extremely terrifying number.
Vared and Trisey occupied a relatively small alchemy laboratory that was free. Later, Trisey transported in several high-quality bones. These bones were basically trophys obtained when fighting against hostilities. Because Sylvania itself did not have a military training institution open to living people.
There are five bones in total. In addition to three of them, which are normal human bodies, there are two special ones, one of the human warriors, and the other of the green-skinned orcs. Usually, vampires deal with such alien bones by grinding them into bone meal, and then reshaping them into standard human bones with bone resuscitation. After all, the undead army is a discipline-oriented force. Discipline and standardization are inseparable.
However, because these skeletons are used for training this time, so the body shape is not important. In addition, Trish also has her reason, which is to train Valed to create undead in all aspects. According to her words, "In a real fierce war, I'm afraid I'll use it as soon as possible after I get a corpse. Where can I get time to process it?" Valed felt that what she said made sense. He nodded and then focused on watching Trish cast the spell.
The real high-level undead was not like Valed in the ancient tomb last month, and then putting in a layer of black iron armor. The defective products he made were all suppose to be described as full of loopholes. If it weren't for the cat's help, they would have completed the tomb guards again. I wonder how big a mess would have happened.
At this moment, Vared looked at Trish's careful appearance and was ashamed. First, put the bones in the trait potion to enhance the bones. The soaking time should be at least six hours. Of course, the three human bones have completed this step. The two dwarfs and orcs are just props for practice, so there is no need to be so rigorous.
So Trish didn't have to ask Valed to watch the bones soaked in the potion. He just copied a copy of the potion recipe list and gave it to Valed to try to make it twice when he was fine. Then he started the next step directly.
Tracy used fresh blood to draw magic runes on the bones to further enhance the strength of the bones and also enhance the power of the tomb guards. The most important thing is to communicate the connection between them and the souls of the underworld through magic runes, and absorb all the most useful martial arts and military training in their lifetime.
After drawing these magic runes, it is not enough to count. The next step is to carve magic circles on their corpses. This is the most critical step - before drawing the magic circles, if they are wrong, they will erase and re-paint. However, this time, they have to use a carving knife to carve them on the bones. How to correct them if they are wrong? A small mistake is OK. Cut off a piece of bone and start again. If there is too big mistake, they can only grind the bones into bone powder and start again.
The whole magic array is half engraved on the bones, and the other half engraved on the armor and weapons used by the tomb guards in order to make the undead fit with their own equipment, and learn the fighting skills of the tomb guards - the tricks of using black iron halberds, long swords and shields, and the personal skills of operating pulleys and crossbows. Also, the formation, queues, and cooperation with other undead soldiers, these macro abilities.
After this set of magic runes is completed, enter enough pale magic wind, and a tomb guard will be completed. Of course, don’t forget to load the family’s control password for it, so that it can specifically obey the orders of the Castein family vampires.
Seeing that Tracy had been busy for about three hours before he completed the tomb guard. Vared was a little speechless. At the same time, he understood how crazy the defective products he had previously thought that could pass the level.
Looking at the ancient tomb guard, gas and phosphorus fire in his eyes, Trish nodded and expressed satisfaction with his ability. At the same time, he said to Valed: "Single production is indeed a bit slower. However, now assembling undead soldiers are made by assembly line operations. A tomb guard can be made in twenty minutes."
"That's it." Vared nodded.
"Have you seen everything I did just now?" Trish continued.
"Well, it's about the same." Vared replied.
"Then try to make a tomb guard, too." Trish laughed and said that. According to what she thought in her heart, how could she learn to read it after reading it? Doing this is purely to make Valede defeated. She took revenge on him, just cheated on her sympathy, and dared to use a sword to hold the revenge on her neck.
In fact, it takes at least a week to teach students that when making the tomb guards, it takes at least one week to teach the required magic runes and magic circles one by one. Then try to draw and carve them one by one. In this way, when the students are proficient in training, they can combine these steps and do them in full. No one has ever made a complete set as soon as they come up.
Tracy was about to wait until Valed makes a mistake or be worried that he can't continue to do it. Let this boy who is highly regarded as a kid suffer a loss. Just wait and wait... The more she looked at her, the more surprised she became. Valed actually made a tomb guard by following her before! And it took a few minutes less time than her!
Looking at Valede frowned and complained: "The first trial was a bit handy, and it wasn't very good..." Trisie was so embarrassed that she just wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it. She felt that compared to a genius like Valede, she was nothing... This is not just a matter of the affinity of the magic wind. Drawing magic runes requires certain painting skills, and the carving skills required to carve magic circles. In addition, more importantly, memory... After three consecutive hours of observation, Valede actually remembered all of Trisie's movements.
When he saw the tomb guards lit a phosphorus fire in his eyes and saluting Varade, Trish felt like he had seen a ghost and couldn't help but scream.
"It's so noisy... that little girl." Celia, who was sleeping comfortably in the nest, narrowed her ears, kicked a few more times, changed her position, and prepared to continue to sleep. Speaking of which, she was similar to Long when she liked to sleep.
