Chapter 198: Exchange, Price, Rewards and Benefits
Chapter 198 Exchange, Price, Rewards and Benefits
With the defeat of the Khumbu Army and the active retreat of the Azurite Army, the first large-scale battle between the Northern Allied Forces and the Southern Allied Forces also slowly calmed down.,! At this time, the afternoon sun filled the entire Yonville Valley.
, the smell of flesh and blood on the ground gradually becomes thicker.
There is no doubt that the half-annihilation of the Kombu Mage Group and the total destruction of the two squadrons of the War Iron Fist not only shocked the goblins, but also shocked the allies of the Azure Legion. There was no longer anyone who could continue to fight to the death, the North and the South.
The commanders withdrew their troops with great tacit understanding, eager to review and study the sudden battle situation just now. At the same time, the eight Yakuza in the sky stared at each other silently for a moment, making
Then they fell silently back to their own camps.
As a result, the first battle of the Civil War in Bracada, the first battle known in history as the "Battle of the Blue Crystal", ended quickly in such a strange silence.
And soon, the strategies, warriors and special magical equipment used by the Azurite Legion in the battle were spread from the joint meeting of coaches, and they became famous.
The heavy military crossbow is combined with the second-level spell "Long Range Strike" to easily achieve ultra-long range coverage. At the same time, coupled with the terrifying explosive ability of armor-piercing bursting arrows, the lethality of the crossbow is immediately raised to a whole new level.
. And the facts have proved that this unprecedented weird tactical method of "heavy weapons + spells + magic props" is really extremely powerful and terrifying.
It is conceivable that in the future battlefield, field commanders on either side will have to rack their brains to deal with this unprecedented attack mode. Otherwise, if they are not prepared, the fate of the Khumbu Mage Group will befall them again.
.
After receiving an explanation of the battle situation from General Cruyff of the Azurite Army, countless orders for armor-piercing bursting arrows were immediately like a flood, drowning the senior officials of Azurite.
There is no doubt that all discerning people know that if they want to replicate the victory of the Blue Crystal Legion in future battles, heavy crossbows and long-range strike spells are of course not a problem. All forces can come up with them. But only this key armor-piercing weapon is needed.
It is impossible to successfully imitate arrows in a short period of time. What's more, many human city-states simply do not have the ability to create alchemical items on their own.
Therefore, whether it was out of the righteousness of the Civil War or private calculations, the demand for armor-piercing blasting arrows within the human allies was extremely strong.
Of course, compared to other small and medium-sized city-states, such as Belus City and Roma City, which are large human city-states that are as powerful as Azurite, they directly came up with the idea of armor-breaking arrow alchemy blueprints. It is said that teaching a man to fish is worse than teaching him to fish, as long as Being able to obtain the alchemical equations and structural diagrams of armor-piercing bursting arrows, Belus and Rome are fully capable of imitating or even updating better armor-piercing arrows in a short period of time.
However, everyone also understands that as a weapon for decisive victory on the battlefield, not to mention obtaining the original blueprint, it is not easy to purchase the finished product from Azurite City. After all, unlike magic wands or swords that can be used repeatedly, magic
Crossbows are completely disposable consumables. In addition, magic props are notoriously difficult to manufacture, so no one would think that Azurite City can completely release supplies according to the Allies' demand.
"Mrs. Hanquan, Roma City hopes to obtain the original alchemy blueprints for the Armor-piercing Explosive Arrow and the Armor-piercing Burning Arrow. For this, I am willing to pay the corresponding price." Sure enough, during the meeting between the giants that night, Angelina got straight to the point.
"Haha, Master Angelina said what I said first." On the side, Master Loki, who represented Belus, also touched his sparse beard and said with a smile: "Mrs. Hanquan, you can't hide your secrets!"
"The two masters have spoken seriously. Since they are both members of the Allied Forces, Azurite City is naturally obliged to contribute to the victory of the north. However, this armor-breaking series is not a product of my Azurite City main palace. Speaking of which,
How to share this alchemy blueprint, we mainly need to listen to Master Figaro's opinion." After saying that, Mrs. Hanquan smiled and gave up the "stage" to Dean Hockenheim, who was sitting silently beside her.
"Oh? This armor-breaking series is the work of Hockenheim?" The half-elf great arcanist was slightly startled, and turned his attention to Figaro. Seniors in the magic circle know that the alchemy work under Hockenheim has always been
It is good at potions and scrolls, but it has always been inferior to the city lord's palace in terms of magic props. Unexpectedly, this time, the armor-piercing bursting arrow that shines on the battlefield is actually produced by Hockenheim.
"Yes, it was developed by the Earth Studio of our college." Figaro naturally knew the reason why Mrs. Hanquan put herself on the front desk at such a moment. It was obvious that she planned to use the face of the two great arcanists to attract as many people as possible
In exchange for some benefits, Dean Hockenheim will certainly not object to this.
"Earth Studio?" Master Loki glanced at the other party in confusion.
"A newly established studio was established by Moriarti, a second-level alchemist registered at the Hockenheim Institute." Figaro, who was relatively familiar with the veteran Loki, briefly introduced.
"Level 2 Alchemist!?" When they heard that the Armor-piercing Explosive Arrow was created by a Level 2 Alchemist, Loki and Angelina were both stunned and couldn't help but look at each other.
Usually, a level 2 alchemist can only make some magic equipment, or prepare one or two simple alchemy potions. When it comes to developing new alchemy products, not to mention a level 4 alchemist, it is very difficult for even a level 4 alchemist.
Therefore, the word "genius" crossed the minds of the two great arcanists for a while.
Seeing the expressions of Loki and the half-elf, Mrs. Hanquan and Dean Hockenheim also looked at each other and smiled. In fact, Figaro did not tell the whole story. You must know that when Moriarty took out the alchemy drawings of the armor-breaking series, he had not yet
He is applying for the second-level alchemist examination. However, the two giants of Blue Crystal City are not interested in talking too much about such a show off.
"So Dean Figaro, what is your intention?" The half-elf great arcanist concentrated his attention, put away his envious thoughts, and continued the topic just now.
"Of course. Hockenheim is very willing to communicate and discuss magic with all the masters." Figaro nodded directly and said.
"We understand what you mean."
The so-called magic exchange naturally refers to the exchange of knowledge on magic reserves. Both Angelina and Loki feel that there is nothing wrong with this. Exchanging knowledge for knowledge has always been the most common transaction method in the magical world, and it is also the most common.
Fair, the most popular among mage professionals.
"So, Mrs. Hanquan, what's your price?" After quickly calculating in his mind what magic price he would give in exchange for Hockenheim College, the half-elf Grand Arcanist turned his head and looked at Mrs. Hanquan again. Different from the Magic Academy
The asking price of the leader of the Blue Crystal City Lord may not be that simple.
"Haha, my idea is..."
That night, when the two great arcanists Angelina and Loki left, they already had a newly burned alchemy blueprint in their personal space bags.
On the next day, the Azurite Army made a formal reply to the procurement requirements put forward by the Allied Forces. From now on, Azurite City will provide the Allies with indispensable weapons every month at "cost price: one thousand gold coins each".
Arms supplies of less than 200 armor-piercing bursting arrows. The final distribution of these bursting arrows will be discussed and determined by the joint meeting of the Allied commanders.
Of course, as for the so-called "cost price" of Blue Crystal City, the northern city-states naturally know what is really going on. Moreover, the output of two hundred tubes a month is not enough for the entire Northern Allied Forces. However,
After receiving such a reply, the northern city-states could not express any explicit objections except for a few slanders. After all, magic equipment is not a carrot and cabbage, and there are no alchemy blueprints. Most city-states without the support of the alchemy system cannot
There is no solid reason to accuse Azurite City. On the contrary, we have to try our best to curry favor with them, hoping to get a few more armor-piercing explosion arrows through legal or illegal channels to "defend ourselves".
As for the Azurite City main palace's aggressive selling of armor-breaking series and the obvious cloning of Olympus' tactics against Shahruman's team on the battlefield, Moriarty remained completely silent. Even when Guderian wanted to
When he went out to yell and curse, Moriarty sternly ordered him to shut up.
"No matter how high-level officials of Blue Crystal conduct business, it has nothing to do with Olympus. Please remember to do your job well, which is your contribution to the squadron!" Moriarty gave a serious order at the internal meeting of the squadron officers.
At this point, there was no more noise from within Olympus.
A few days later, Moriarty suddenly received an order from Depra, and then met Dean Hockenheim again, whom he had not seen for a long time, in an inconspicuous barracks in the camp.
"These are all yours." Without any false praise or encouragement, Figaro, who was always dressed in star robes, pointed to a low table in the center of the room. On the table were an old and somewhat shabby bag and a
A magic scroll that shines with bright red light and a faint burning aura.
"This is?" Moriarty remained motionless, looking at the Grand Arcanist respectfully.
"Some rewards and some benefits." Figaro smiled slightly: "As the commander of the Olympus Squadron, your outstanding performance has made the entire Blue Mage Group very satisfied, so it is necessary to reward you. At the same time, Hogan Sea recently
Mu made some small exchanges with your armor-breaking series. As the owner of the alchemy blueprints, you have the right to receive corresponding benefits."
"Master Dean, I..."
"Don't refuse, there is no need to refuse. Just accept it." Figaro waved his hand to stop Moriarty's words and smiled lightly. (To be continued.
