Chapter 909: A prosperous kingdom, the blood of war, and a huge camp of craftsmen!
"The kingdom's official military goods?... Lord God! You want me to resell military supplies?!"
"Shh! God bless you! Keep your voice down, where is reselling? Since it has been distributed to your camp, doesn't it belong to you? You give me your things, and I will give you our things. This is called that.
What, oh, cooperation! Legion cooperation!... We all know that according to the rules of the legion, each battalion will have 20 to 30% of weapons in reserve. These losses are originally normal..."
"The spare weapons...well...the equipment we just received does have 40% spare..."
"Okay! 40%? Tsk tsk, the new army in the royal capital is so lavish! When we formed the army, there were not so many... There are five brigades in a thousand-man battalion, and 40% is spare, that is extra
The two teams...can help us a lot!"
The red-haired leader Mikui clapped his fingers and calculated, with a sincere smile on his face. He patted the other party's shoulder hard and said in a friendly yet threatening tone.
"Brother! You are going to fight in the Chapala Lake area in the west. We are in a hurry to replace the weapons. We also want to strengthen the thousands of flag troops who follow the chief 'Monkey' to fight in the west. They are recruited tribal soldiers.
, you have to prepare your own weapons, they are always a bit inferior and far from as good as those made by the craftsmen of the royal capital. If you exchange the weapons for us, we, the flag team, will all accept your kindness. Even if someone really knows, as long as
Let’s not talk about these bastards, just the normal ones... Oh, help! Help the friendly forces!"
"We are all fighting for the great chief of Death. Who are we to use the equipment for? Our Guakili tribe has shed a lot of blood for the kingdom. There is no one who carries a gun and goes into battle... We all know that fighting is...
Anything can happen, and you have to have helpers! That Prince of Feathers has a lot of troops, and now he has a big bow, and his archery is very good! When the time comes, with the help of the strong men like us in the flag team, then
It’s easy for you to make meritorious deeds and grab good things!…”
The sun sets in the west, and in the west are the rolling mountains and the distant Leman River. The villages of the tribal flags are hidden in the shadow of the mountains, extending along with the rivers in the mountains.
At this moment, Woodpecker Aipei stood on the top of the hill, and could clearly see the fields, mountains and Lake Quiceo under the setting sun. He looked at the smoke from cooking in the distance, and found that the smoke in the field was thinner, thicker and whiter. That was the sign of making a fire.
The fuel used for cooking in mintun villages is corn stalks after the autumn harvest, so it is white smoke. The smoke in the mountains is deeper, finer and darker. Because the flag team villages in the mountains use wood branches to make the smoke.
For cooking, the smoke should be much thicker, but the amount should be less, after all, firewood is hard to come by.
This subtle difference in cooking smoke is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish, but it is very obvious to senior warriors who have experienced battles. They can usually tell the approximate size of the enemy from the amount of cooking smoke. But in this area
In the mountains, forests and valleys of Hekou County, it can be seen from the amount of smoke that there are indeed many tribes settled there, even tens of thousands!
"The Guakili tribe alone has more than a dozen banner teams and tens of thousands of people, all of whom have settled in this area and are related to each other... But now this group of red-haired elites of one to two hundred people are all used to seeing each other.
Veterans of the war...I am afraid that my archer battalion cannot defeat them!...Not to mention...these sacred sacrificial vessels...I really want them!
…”
Thinking of this, Woodpecker Aipai looked around and saw those simple yet nervous smiles and vaguely threatening movements... He gritted his teeth and whispered.
"Witness the Lord God! What do you want specifically? I can... come out evenly and help... help the friendly forces!..."
"Praise the Lord God! Good! Brothers! Good brothers!..."
The red-haired leader Mikui rubbed his hands excitedly. He looked around again, and saw that cooking was being done in the inn. The Tlaxcala archers gathered obediently in the inn, waiting for dinner to be ready. No one dared to come over and watch.
The leaders discussed. Their long bows had all their bowstrings removed and were stored in groups of twenty, and all the paper armor on their bodies was taken off.
There were about two hundred red-haired hunters, all well-equipped, vaguely surrounding the archers from all sides. This kind of vigilance was something that the tribal archers were accustomed to along the way. However, they did not know that
What's amazing is that the red-haired hunters here really dare to take action.
"Witness the Lord God! You are the archer camp of the tribe. This is why we decided to stop you after discussing it!"
The red-haired leader Mikui scratched his hair and smiled honestly.
"Your things are just right for the archery men of the flag team to use! And these things are not like bronze armor, big crossbows, or even hardwood big bows. They are not eye-catching at all... Oh! Everything else doesn't matter.
The main ones are bows, arrows and spears! In addition, we also need extra leather armor. Especially the kind that is painted, not the kind of paper armor that can only be used for half a year and will not work in the rainy season..."
"Witness the Lord God! The bamboo longbows from the royal capital's craftsman camp are blessed by the priest's divine power, but they are very useful! But the ones we made ourselves are not as strong and easy to break. We have also looked carefully.
In addition to good craftsmanship and good bamboo materials, it looks like it was made by a master craftsman. It is also coated with a layer of something, oily... like resin or paint, and it feels a bit like wax. I guess it is mixed with paint. Before
I’ve never seen it before!…”
"The other good thing is the hardwood long copper arrows from the craftsman camp! We all call them 'killer arrows'! It takes a lot of effort to make such good arrows. You have to process the old hard wood, carefully cut it neatly, and have a
Good arrow quills... require specialized craftsmen and tools. It is convenient to make them in large quantities. It would be too laborious to make a single one... When we fought in the east, in order to save money and not encounter hard-fought warriors, we generally did not
It’s such a waste to use such big arrows, and you don’t have to shoot so hard… They all use bone arrows made of reed poles or cork poles, just half-open the bow!…”
"As for the final bronze spear, I still value the wooden pole! The ones produced by the craftsman camp are usually made of the best oak, walnut, and rosewood. The wood is much stronger and more durable, and it should have been soaked in oil. Tribal archers fight in battles.
, if it’s time to use a spear, it will mean life and death at once, but you must not break it!…As for the spearheads of the bronze spears, we have actually saved a lot of them. After a battle, this thing is the most…Now
There are various villages in the river mouth, and each village can make dozens of bronze spears. But the wood is not good. After stabbing someone with force, it will get stuck in the bones and break easily..."
"God bless you! You are right! The weapons and equipment produced by the craftsman camp in the royal capital are indeed the best!..."
Hearing the story of such a senior veteran, Woodpecker Aipei couldn't agree more. In fact, he has been in the royal capital and is a military noble from the Holy City. His younger brother is still in the craftsman camp and knows more than the red-haired man in front of him.
There are many more leaders.
Everything in the kingdom is for the purpose of war, and as a craftsman camp that produces armaments, it is naturally one of the most important institutions in the kingdom. It is affiliated with the Kingdom's Divine Inspiration Institute and is nominally under the direct management of His Majesty Shulot. In fact, it is
Under the control of Director Shenqi Taliya, he can prioritize all resources and use the best technology and materials to produce the best weapons!
In the past few years, the craftsman camp has expanded into a behemoth with one or two thousand formal craftsmen, thousands of apprentices, and tens of thousands of civilian labor! It can produce bronze cloth armor, bronze cannons, and various large-scale bows.
Crossbows, arrows, axes, spears, leather armor, supply and maintain the eight legions of the kingdom! It can be said that half of the citizens of the Qincongcan Royal Capital directly or indirectly serve the craftsman camp. And it is in the royal capital.
In the surrounding large smelting field, the black smoke rising day and night is also the embodiment of the true power of the Divine Enlightenment System!
"The kingdom relies on farming and war as its foundation, and armaments are the blood of war. The royal capital has a large craftsman camp, so the rewards are extremely heavy and the punishments are extremely harsh! The status of craftsmen is second only to the warriors, and even far behind the merchants and merchants.
Above the peasants. The armament craftsmen in the craftsman camp are directly affiliated with the kingdom, so they are one level higher!"
"The levels of craftsmen in the kingdom are divided into four levels: apprentice, ordinary, senior, and master. Each level is divided into upper and lower levels. The backbone of senior craftsmen are equivalent to the senior warriors of the kingdom. As for the rare master craftsmen, they are
They are equivalent to military aristocrats! They will even be absorbed by the divine enlightenment and become a glorious divinely inspired priest..."
Thinking of this, Woodpecker Ai licked his lips, with anticipation on his face. Although he was a military nobleman, he did not let his young brother join the army and fight his way out on the battlefield...but sent him to the craftsman's academy.
Ying is now a second-level ordinary craftsman. He never expects the other party to become a master craftsman. As long as he survives for another ten years without making mistakes and successfully becomes a senior craftsman... that will be enough to support the family and live a good life.
Not a bad day!
"Of course, the Institute of Divine Inspiration attaches great importance to creation, as well as new technologies, and always gives out heavy rewards! ... If you can receive divine blessing and invent or improve some technology... then the time for promotion will be greatly shortened! Just like a year or two ago,
The ordinary craftsman who researched the paint for bows and arrows suddenly became a master craftsman! It is said that he was personally rewarded with a house and fields by Director Talaya on behalf of His Highness, and was also allowed to set up a separate company specializing in the research and manufacture of paints.
The craftsman group is able to recruit apprentices... even my younger brother is jealous..."
"I heard from my younger brother at the beginning of the year that this kind of paint can not only strengthen crossbows, but also strengthen leather armor, making it several percent tougher! As for the specific formula and process, although it is top secret, it should include resin, paint,
Wax, some mysterious cold and heat treatment...and the most special thing, rubber!...As a result, rubber forests have been planted around the capital..."
"And the name of this paint was also named by the distinguished director of Talaya himself, called Olmec paint!... This is the name of the ancestors of the glue people, and it is also a true glory!... Under the attention of the ancestors of all ministries, we
The descendants who are destined to unify all tribes in the world and reshape the Jiao people!…”
