Chapter 271: The Atonement of Camon Dortlivos, Hire Payment, National Policy
In the battle with the Demon Yakuza, White's original Corsy gold spiked shield was completely destroyed and could only be recycled as scrap metal. But now, he has gained a skull shield that is barely close to the level of "treasure", which is not only the envy of others but also
Jealousy, and he himself was a little afraid to accept this "The Atonement of Carmen Dotlivos".
It has to be said that the Great Demon Skull Shield is so powerful that it is more than enough to match the Jidao Temple. Especially the hidden attribute that can summon the "Purgatory Ruins Shadow" to reincarnate in a short time, although there are professional level requirements for the shield holder.
It is extremely high, but it is an equipment skill that can be said to be unparalleled. And if it weren't for the skull of Kamen Dotlivos itself inheriting the essence of the great devil, supplemented by "Dark Juice" and "Dragon Breath Sulfur"
"Such a rare and rare alchemy material, Moriarty's current alchemy level alone, even with the support of the projection of the fire element field, will never be able to activate the properties of the skull shield to such a vivid level.
However, after refining the "Atonement of Carmon Dotlivos", Moriarty also vaguely felt that his alchemy skills had been greatly improved, and he might even achieve another breakthrough and advance to the level of intermediate alchemist.
But for White himself, the power of the Great Demon Skull Shield does not lie in the possibility of summoning "Purgatory Ruins Shadow" or "Purgatory Fire Scythe". After all, it is still very far away to reach high-level or even Yakuza levels. What really attracts him is actually
It's the "dark aura" that comes with the shield.
Different from the great demon aura that Kamen Dotlivos once illuminated the entire demon army, the "dark aura" is just a simplified version with a single nature. Its only function is to bless the shield holder with mysterious dark energy, making it
The "dark attribute" skills summoned or used receive an additional level of power increase. For example, with the gain of "Dark Aura", "Dark Thunder", which originally has level 2 spell power, can be immediately upgraded to a level 3 spell.
This is the reason why the big demon used black lightning to hit the unsuspecting Sanhua Elf that day, almost killing it instantly.
As for White, although he is not essentially a demon camp or a dark creature, nor does he have dark spells like a big demon. But "coincidentally", he does possess an extremely rare anti-injury skill "Shield of Thorns"
"! You must know that the essence of the damage rebound of "Thorn Shield" is the "Shadow of Thorns" hidden in the aura. In other words, since it is shadow damage, it can also be classified as "dark attribute"
"One of the skills, so you can directly obtain the blessing of "Dark Aura".
Therefore, the "dark aura" may be useless to ordinary human warrior professionals, but for White, it is a very practical and powerful auxiliary aura. Especially when he advances to a high level and even one day can set foot on the Yakuza, that extra level of "
"Shadow of Thorns" will definitely become the most terrifying weapon.
Finally, under Moriarty's smile, White picked up "The Atonement of Camondotrivos". With this extremely powerful demon skull shield, coupled with his own "Shield of Thorns", White could
With the powerful strength to compete with high-level warriors.
In addition to the equipment of the three major followers, Moriarty began to make planned collective changes to the equipment of each squadron and company through the Earth Studio. The first batch of upgrades was the armor and shields.
Using "crystal softener" and a strong "smoke crystal" produced locally in Kent, Earth Studio's apprentices and senior craftsmen will install a two-inch-thick crystal lining armor on top of the existing standard armor.
This will increase the defense by at least 30% without increasing the total weight of the armor by more than 20 pounds. It is expected that the entire Olympus Legion's armor upgrade work will be completed team by team within two months. By then, Kent County and even the Kingdom of Erathia will
The first crystal-iron hybrid heavy armored infantry will appear.
After arranging for the regiment's uniform change and other military and political matters, Moriarty took Guderian, Tchaikov, Clausewitz and Margaret aboard the Dayun and headed to the territory of Krolod.
Soskona Salt Flats. There, there is the core of the entire Wolfgang Group - Wolfsburg (Wolfsburg).
The straight-line journey from Rheinburg to Wolfsburg is about 700 kilometers. Along the way, it passes through the borders of Erathia and Krolod as well as the northern part of the Hurricane Wasteland. It can be said that the journey is long and dangerous. However, there are goblin airships that cruise directly into the sky.
, the demon legions all over southern Erathia, the bandits in the Hurricane Wasteland, and the border guards on the border of the Orc Kingdom can no longer pose a threat to Moriarty and his party.
The only things that need attention are the possible sneak attacks by flying demons and the possible interception by Krulod Sky Knights after entering the territory of the United Kingdom.
Although the Sky Knights are also a rare and precious unit for Crow Lord and will not be dispatched easily, but each Sky Knight has at least the level of a mid-level warrior, and the Sky Knights themselves are as numerous as "Rock Sculptures" and "Lightning Falcons"
", or even a powerful raptor like the "Thunderbird". So adding up the two items. The Krolod Sky Knight definitely has air combat capabilities that cannot be ignored. There was even a small team of Thunderbird Sky Knights in history that competed with giants.
The glorious record of dragons facing off without falling behind.
According to the plan, the Great Cloud will arrive at the Soscona Salt Flats in the early morning of two days later. At that time, Moriarty will visit the Wolfgang giant in his dual capacity as the master of New Rheinburg and the commander-in-chief of the Blue Crystal City Volunteer Army.
Duke of Metamoia.
"Old Crow, I hope to hire at least one wolf cavalry from Wolfgang to strengthen the squadron. Do you think the Duke of Medamoah will agree to such a request?"
In the cabin, Moriarty and Margaret sat across from each other, while the old werewolf still occupied his habitual position in front of the magic sand table.
"Yes. The invasion of the demon army is a continent-wide racial war, so even if Cruelod and Erathia are feuding, it will not affect Wolfgang's determination to completely expel the demons. Moreover, if Elathia
West Asia finally failed and destroyed the country. Then the devil's next target must be Krolod." Looking away from the magic interface of the sand table, Clausewitz slowly said: "Of course, even if it is a war against the devil, Olympus
If Si wants to hire wolf cavalry, he still needs to pay enough commission."
"How much will the hiring fee be?" Moriarty nodded.
"Each group of wolf riders should have no less than three Krulod gold shields."
"Three Krolod gold shields?...Not expensive."
Three "Orc Gold Shields" are only equivalent to about two Erathian gold coins, or even less than one Bracada gold coin. This is really a ready bargain for Moriarty, who is already used to being "rich and wealthy". Of course, if it weren't for
Now is the mainland's unified war against demons. In other times, no matter how much money Moriarty paid, he would not be able to hire such a large number of wolf cavalry to serve himself and Erathia. After all, they are the regular army of Crurod.
, the most important weapon of the country!
"This is already a reasonable price considering that the human kingdom is currently being invaded by demons. If it is not a war, the Junker nobles in Krulod only need to pay a gold shield to hire a group of wolf riders to serve them for at least one year.
Of course, the cost of food, accommodation, equipment and other expenses during the employment period will be borne by the employer." The old werewolf looked at Moriarty, as if he could see what the other person was thinking, and asked lightly: "Do you think it's too cheap?"
"Wolfgang's reputation is so powerful that it should really be more expensive."
Looking back at Old Crow, Moriarty suddenly sighed softly.
This is not a pretense or a cheap and good show-bag. In fact, he is also a soldier and knows the valuable character of the Wolf Cavalry, which is tenacity, bravery, and not afraid of sacrifice. From the bottom of his heart, Moriarty is the "value of the Wolf Cavalry".
"Cheap but good quality" feels not worth it.
"Huh, do you think it's the fertile Erathia or the extremely rich Brakada? In Crulod, I don't know how many little orcs die every year because of cold or hunger, and I don't know how many orcs die because of the pressure of life.
I have to go into the hurricane wasteland to become a robber. Do you really think that some people are born to be thieves!?" I don't know what she thought of, or maybe she misunderstood Moriarty's meaning. Margaret on the side suddenly said a little angry.
"As far as I know, as early as ten years ago, the Duke of Medamoah began to implement the 'relief policy' in his territory, spending a large amount of money every year to rescue those old orcs or orphaned orc children, and established
A 'Wolfsburg Scouts', composed entirely of orc orphans?" Moriarty just smiled at the female werewolf and asked without any intention of explaining herself.
"Yes, my father has been questioned by the Senate several times for this reason. Some other Dukes of Juncker even denounced my father's move as 'weakening the martial spirit of the kingdom' and being a 'traitor of Crow Lord'..."
Hearing that Moriarty suddenly changed the topic to her father, Margaret glared at him with some reluctance, and then said sadly, it can be seen that the powerful Duke of Medamoah does not have "enemies" within the United Kingdom.
"of.
"Compared to humans, the fertility of orcs and half-orcs is much stronger, and the land of Krolod is quite barren and barren, unable to raise all the people. Therefore, since the founding of the country, the Senate and the Great Shaman have established
The national policy of survival of the fittest." On the side, the staff officer further explained.
"I see."
Since we can't afford to support so many people, we let the old and the weak die from natural selection. At first glance, Crulod's strategy of governing the country seems really cold and cruel, but if you look closely, you can read a lot of helplessness and sadness in it.
Although Duke Medamoah's welfare mechanism similar to "social relief" has indeed rescued many hungry and poor people, it is fundamentally contrary to the existing national policy of the United Kingdom.
So, what does the Grand Duke Wolfgang want to do?
By "moving against the trend" like this, he not only puts himself on the opposite side of the majority of Krolod Junckers, but is also destroying the existing order of the United Kingdom!
And this is definitely not what a mature politician should do.
