Act 109: Tonigel and the young lord (9) The ranking is crazy)
Scene 109: Tony Geer and the Young Lord (9) (First update, the ranking is crazy)
"No, you guessed wrong, Master Belu." Brando shook his head.
The young man closed the door. The mysterious guest pulled off his cloak, revealing his hunched body and the feather robe covering his wrinkled skin. Tajib bowed deeply and bowed to Brando.
Boru was stunned for a moment, "Caveman?" He said in surprise: "Wait, sir, what do you mean?" The master craftsman reacted quickly. The thing he designed according to the drawings could not be used by humans at all, but it was for
These underground creatures are tailor-made.
"My lord, when did you have any dealings with cavemen?"
"Didn't we fight them once?"
"But... then, what is going on?" The old man was puzzled for a moment.
During the battle with Sir Mintai, Brando's side deliberately suppressed the news. Most of the prisoners were also kept in dungeons alone and not allowed to be contacted. Therefore, the news that cavemen participated in the battle was not leaked.
In addition, he was indifferent to the affairs of Brando's military group and devoted himself to his forging workshop. He really didn't know that Brando's men had merged into a large caveman clan.
"Sir...amazing." Tajib maintained a respectful posture, but faced the master craftsman and replied in a somewhat unfamiliar Cruze language.
"Does that mean they were subdued by you?" Belu turned around and asked.
Brando nodded.
"Martha!" the old man shouted: "How many have you conquered?" He immediately stopped and suddenly thought of a possibility; the old man stared at Brando in shock with wide eyes, and stretched out a trembling slap: "
five hundred?"
Five hundred is the number for the armor Brando asked him for.
But the young man smiled and shook his head. Belu thought of things too simply. Just like humans, no matter how much the cavemen unite the entire population, it is impossible for everyone to be the strongest fighting force. What's more, he glanced at Tajib,
Although the caveman chief was respectful to him, he would not leave the fate of the entire clan in his hands.
"Three thousand," he said.
Belu choked, and he quickly held the corner of the table, "I understand, it seems that my old bones are really not able to keep up with the pace of you young people-" He shook his head, three thousand cavemen
?So how do young people win? Let alone conquer.
No wonder those mercenaries - especially the younger generation of mercenaries, highly respected this Lord. He was a little dismissive at first, but now it seems that this is not just blind worship.
"Okay," Boru replied: "I understand, now Pallas is going to be in bad luck-"
"It's not that simple. Lord Denel won't rush in so recklessly. He is an old fox." The young lord shook his head: "Sir Mintai's lessons are enough to make him more cautious."
"You mean Pallas will have reinforcements?"
"Isn't this inevitable?" Brando replied.
The old man touched his chin: "Is that why you want to arm these cavemen?"
"Exactly," Brando patted the armor, and then said to Tajib: "Tajib, come and try it."
"Sir, what...is this?" Tajib couldn't see, but it heard the echo of metal.
"You'll know when you put it on."
"Witch doctor...I am." Tajib finally understood that it was a set of armor, and quickly waved his hand: "Sir!"
"It's okay, just give it a try." Brando smiled slightly: "This is a gift from me to you, don't you want to refuse?"
"A gift?" The caveman chief was stunned.
"Your clan is not a very strong one underground, right?" Brando asked.
Tajib fell silent and nodded. If it was a strong branch, it would not be driven to the surface. They would rather go back underground than live on the surface.
But the size of his tribe is actually not small, but it has never found a powerful underground lord as a backer. Tajib knows that he has a hidden danger, that is, the majority of the tribe left to him by his ancestors is the old and the weak.
There are very few truly qualified combatants in the underground world.
"It doesn't matter," Brando didn't care: "I said a long time ago that if we can't improve our own strength and skills, then we can focus on improving our equipment -"
"Equipment...improvement?" Tajib repeated this sentence doubtfully.
"I plan to give your tribe five hundred sets of armor," Brando replied, "Heavy armor, just for cavemen."
The caveman chief was obviously stunned by this number. Five hundred sets of heavy armor was a huge wealth even underground. The underground lords would never use these things to arm a group of cavemen - in other words, they were just a group of cannon fodder.
It looked up with some stuttering and replied: "Cavemen... don't wear armor... Sir!"
The cavemen don't wear armor? Brando couldn't help but curse in his heart. The stormtroopers under the caveman lord and siege master Elache - those caveman commandos wearing heavy armor have performed so far in the Third War.
It still remains fresh in his memory.
The set of armor in his hand was actually the design drawing of the original version of the rhinoceros armor designed by Elache. Of course, he had never purchased the later versions, but this set of armor was considered ahead of its time in the Year of Flowers and Summer Leaves.
Brando remembers clearly that the first set of rhinoceros armor was born about five years later.
"Are you so willing to be cannon fodder? This kind of thing will become history in the future, Tajib." The young man shook his head: "I said, this set of armor is specially designed for you."
"Wait!" At this time, Beilu stopped the two of them: "Sir, do you mean to say that this set of armor has never existed before?"
"nature."
The old man looked at the young man and got a little angry: "You didn't even let these guys try on a set of newly designed armor, so you asked me to make more than two hundred sets!"
Speaking of the latter, the master craftsman almost shouted. He felt that Brando was simply making fun of him. There has never been such a thing since ancient times. A set of newly designed armor has not even been tested.
Directly put into mass production, does this guy think this is a toy?
Of course, he could understand it if Brando was so rich that he could rival the country, but this was obviously a time when the territory had just started and even maintaining it seemed difficult.
The iron ore used to make more than two hundred sets of armor was almost the entire reserve of Fir Territory. It even delayed the reconstruction of the city wall for this reason. Antitina came to him more than once to complain about this matter.
The more Bolu talked, the angrier he became, especially when he thought that Brando kept standing with Her Highness the Princess. If everyone around the Princess was like this young man, he even now doubted that this damn kingdom would still be alive.
Is there a future?
He felt that he, the chief craftsman of the kingdom, had been tricked by this guy. The old man stared at Brando, as if if the young lord didn't give him an explanation, then he would let this guy know.
He, a master craftsman, also has his own temper!
And he has a bad temper!
But Brando's face seemed calm, without even the slightest change. It was just that he was a little surprised when Belu got angry at first. He didn't expect that the old man would get so angry, but after hearing the latter
After he finished speaking, the young man laughed.
"As for getting so angry, Master Bolu?" He shook his head.
"You can still laugh, you'd better give me an explanation, damn it!" the old man replied angrily: "Otherwise I will give you an explanation today!"
"How are you going to give me an explanation?" Brando crossed his arms and asked calmly.
When the two started arguing, they seemed to have forgotten Tajib. Of course, as for our Mr. Mordenkainen, he was forgotten in the corner from the beginning.
"I, I'm on strike!" the old man jumped.
"Okay, okay, calm down," Brando shook his head: "Master Belu, you are the chief craftsman of the kingdom. You still can't tell whether this set of armor can work?"
"It is precisely because I am the chief craftsman of the kingdom that I have to stop your irresponsible behavior!" the old man said angrily, but he still glanced at the caveman chief aside - he was responsible for his own actions
The armor he created was quite familiar, but just by looking at the caveman, he knew that there was nothing wrong with Brando's design.
It looks slightly larger.
However, Tajib calls himself a witch doctor, so the warriors among the cavemen are obviously stronger, and this armor must fit exceptionally well. As for the individual physiques that are unusual, they probably only need slight modifications.
Seeing this, Belu's anger involuntarily subsided, and he became a little surprised. Drawing the design drawings and completing the finished product based on experience alone requires at least several decades of forging experience, and even he may not be able to do it.
——The old man glanced at Brando and thought, is this young man a master of hidden things?
However, he didn't believe this speculation, but asked with some lingering anger: "You didn't make this thing, right?"
Brando nodded. He was too embarrassed to steal other people's work: "This is the design of a friend of mine. He is very knowledgeable about cavemen." Of course, as soon as he said it casually, the caveman Elache became his.
friend.
So at this time, someone who was still far underground in Qiaogendigang couldn't help but sneeze.
"That's pretty much it." Brando satisfied his speculation, and the old man stopped pursuing it. He said: "It's best not to play this trick on me in the future. This kind of surprise should be left to you young people.
, my old bones can’t stand your tossing a few times.”
"You are serious," Brando replied with a smile: "How could this happen? I didn't mean it. Master Belu, you are now the most valuable asset in my territory."
"This is just a temporary job -" the old man groaned, not forgetting to remind Brando of this fact. However, the compliment from the young man still made him feel very comfortable.
Brando shook his head, and then said to the caveman chief on the side: "How about it, Tajib, are you willing to accept this gift?"
Tajib hesitated, and while Brando was talking to Belu, he touched the armor. Because of the lack of vision, cavemen are more sensitive to touch and hearing than ordinary people, although they only felt it roughly.
But it has been able to determine that the armor is tailor-made for its people.
It was a little excited, but it also knew that there is no such thing as a free lunch. The caveman hesitated for a moment and asked: "Sir... conditions?"
Brando nodded.
He was very satisfied with Tajib's reaction. Of course, he couldn't give the caveman five hundred sets of armor for free. Although the caveman and the fir leader could be said to be in a mutually beneficial relationship, this was not enough.
"The conditions are very simple." Brando replied, and then he lowered his voice and whispered something to the caveman chief.
Tajib was stunned for a moment, then hesitated, but finally nodded.
