Changing cavalry armor into archer armor is not difficult for the blacksmith master who has been dealing with furnace iron felt for decades. Archers require flexibility in the waist, abdomen, upper arms and back when shooting, otherwise it will affect the accuracy of the bow.
, Belu removed part of the deck and replaced it with movable armor pieces, and produced a sample the next day.
Quinir put on the armor, stretched his upper limbs, and showed a satisfied look. The tree elves were slender and strong, but the armor made by Belu fit quite well, but the armor originally worn on human cavalry looked like something on them.
It's a little smaller and looks a bit like a Roman half-armor.
"It's a little heavier," he said.
"There is no way to reduce the weight." Master Belu said.
It was originally the heavy armor of the cavalry. No matter how it is modified, the weight of the armor will always fall on the shoulders. But if the shooter's shoulders bear too much weight, it will greatly affect the hit rate. The forging master looked back at his lord, wanting to see
What did Brando say?
Brando put his middle finger and thumb on his chin and looked at the handicraft-like cavalry armor with satisfaction. After the old man greatly changed the decks on the shoulder blades and waist and abdomen into armor leaves, the metal sheets followed Quinier's movements layer by layer.
Floating, it looks sparkling under the light.
"Just get a weight-reducing prefix. Master Belu, can you make a few more samples?" He turned his head and asked.
Prefixes are actually a kind of enchantment, and there are several prefixes for reducing weight. Among them, the 'wind dance' of Freya's wind rear half armor is the best one. Not only will the wearer not feel the constraints of weight, but it will also
It's like feeling surrounded by gentle breeze, gaining a sensitivity bonus.
"That's not a problem. Why do you need so many samples?"
"Well...you'll find out soon."
In fact, Beru may have hoped that he would never know, because he saw Brando take the armor from Quinier. This masterpiece, which can be called a handicraft, quickly burned in his hands. Everyone saw
The strong magical reaction formed beams of bright electric sparks that radiated around, and finally crackled and melted through the chest plate to form a huge cavity.
It looks like the scene after a candle melts. The metal turns into liquid and sinks inward, becomes fluid and then solidifies again, leaving a hole the size of a fist.
Brando immediately shrugged. No matter how you looked at it, the armor in his hand was considered useless.
Alchemy is a highly random job, especially if Brando wants to find an effective wind magic circle, he only has to fill it with finished products.
In the following days, the green flames in the furnace almost never went out, and the tinkling sound of hammering in the blacksmith shop continued all night long. One set after another of modified armors turned into scrap in Brando's hands.
He began to use cheap wind sapphire as the magic core of the wind magic circle. This kind of gem is the most common main material containing wind element magic in Warnd, and it is also the cheapest one. It is said to be a gem, but
It's actually cheaper than most magic crystals.
Even during the most intense period of inflation in the game in the past, this gem only sold for a few thousand tols.
However, the results of the experiment were not ideal. The best result achieved by the Wind Sapphire was the "clumsy" prefix, the weight loss never exceeded 5%, and various negative attributes.
Then Brando tried lapis lazuli, turquoise olive, and blue prism. Each of the main materials was more expensive and more advanced than the last. The weight loss effect also increased from 10% to 15%. By the morning of the fifth day, top
Brando and Beru, who had dark circles under their eyes, finally came up with the prefix 'light'.
'Lightweight Archer Armor: Defense 4, extra +2 defense against arrows, 20% weight reduction.'
Unfortunately, this suit of armor is still much heavier than planned. Quinir also said that only the most elite marksmen among the tree elves can fight wearing it without any obstacles, but most people cannot actually reach this level.
At this time, the scrap rate of the armor-modified marksman armor captured by the Red Flag Cavalry had basically reached over 10%.
Such a result is of course not in line with Brando's requirements. His goal is to at least upgrade the tree elf shooter to the strength of a third-level unit. The strength of the unit basically only depends on a few statistics, attack, defense, mobility and special abilities.
——As for increasing the attack power, unless Brando thinks he can get the tree elf longbow, it is the standard equipment of the tree elf's genuine third-level forest shooter, but it was a product almost fifty years later. Not to mention him
If you don't know anything about bow making, you might as well just think of ways to improve your defense.
But now it seems that it is not realistic to equip new standard armor, at least there is a bottleneck in terms of weight. If this problem is not solved, it will be a fantasy to let tree elf shooters wear these magic armors.
The solution is to further upgrade the prefix of 'lightweight' to 'lightweight', so that a 30% weight reduction is enough to meet his requirements. However, the armor improvement work has been carried out so far, and the cost of modification alone has exceeded three
If Vantor continues to grow endlessly, Brando estimates that Antitina will come to him to submit her resignation letter.
"There is no way." Master Beilu was lying on his workbench, with his hair as messy as a bird's nest, and said feebly: "This is the limit. If you want to lose weight without further investment, you will have to lose weight.
Defensive."
"Let the elite equipment of the tree elves be equipped first." Tamar also suggested. He was invited into the plan by Brando halfway. The future alchemy master has been helping Charles and Anti for some time.
Tina designed and built the long-planned mage tower - the noble lady's magic laboratory is also part of this plan.
Magic is an important productive force in Warnd's world, and the importance of the mage tower to the territory is self-evident. What's more, the mage tower can also gather public mana pools, which can not only greatly enhance the strength of his spellcasters,
It can also speed up the training of mage apprentices. Even the lowest level alchemy laboratory can provide the alchemist working in it with a bonus equivalent to an additional alchemy level. The advanced alchemy laboratory is almost equivalent to directly providing the lord with
A varying number of professional alchemists.
As long as there is a little money, no lord is unwilling to build a mage tower on his territory. What's more, a good mage tower can attract more mages to become his subordinates and staff, so why not?
Therefore, Brando originally did not want to delay Tamar's progress, but as his side absorbed funds like a black hole, Antitina had no choice but to ask Tamar to come here first to help, otherwise she was worried that Brando would
We won't use the territory's money to build a super army.
In her opinion, her lord seems to be such a militaristic person, as if he never feels safe and always puts the development of military power first.
But Brando still shook his head at Tamar's proposal. He wanted more than just a small elite force. In fact, he did not lack such elites. He had the planeswalker system in hand, and
Nest system, if possible, he could form an elite army by himself. What he needs is a 'main force'.
There are a large number of main forces such as centaurs, cavemen and tree elves, and this main force must be able to stand firm in the coming war.
He thought for a while and replied: "You continue to experiment to see if you can use the same materials to get better enchanting effects. I will think of other ways."
Brando's method is simple.
That is Dragon Blood Potion.
As Quenier said, the tree elf archers are not completely unusable for their final product, but it will more or less limit the combat effectiveness. To put it bluntly, it is due to weight, but for armor, in addition to weight reduction, there are no other benefits.
Come to think of it, why not increase the weight-bearing capacity of the tree elf?
When it comes to increasing strength, Brando has no second thought except dragon blood potion.
However, the first batch of dragon blood potion was all given to the future non-commissioned officers of the White Lion Legion. The second batch was refined and given to the mercenaries, centaurs and tree elves who accompanied him on this expedition in order to cope with this war.
Archers. There are very few archers among these tree elves, only one or two hundred. The tree elves in the forest can at least organize an army of over a thousand.
In the same way, Brando wants to build not only the third-level troops of the tree elves, but also the centaurs. In this way, the dragon blood potion he needs to use may exceed thousands of bottles. This is not a small number. From then on
The blood obtained from the hydra is definitely not enough, Brando needs to find more raw materials.
The acquisition was too late, and Brando didn't want this matter to drag on Ampelser's trip. He quickly thought of a way, and that was to breed the hydra himself.
When it comes to cultivating a hydra by oneself, it is natural to use the nest. However, ordinary territories generally do not have enough space to accommodate the nest. For example, the fir territory feels that there is no natural place for magic power to gather. Brando takes it as a matter of course.
Hit Valhalla on the head.
To put it bluntly, since he left the Black Forest, it seemed that it was time to rebuild this fortress that once held countless glories.
Brando simply left the blacksmith workshop to Belu and Tamar, and immersed himself in studying the core magic circle of Valhalla. The core magic circle of Valhalla is actually not complicated.
, it just requires a large amount - an astonishing amount of magic crystals.
If this request had been made in the past, Brando would have gone crazy, but at this time the first group of people who went to the Black Forest had returned, and the immigrants established a small mine in the forest under the protection of the mercenaries.
Although the amount of magic crystals mined was not large, it was enough to meet Brando's initial needs.
However, although Brando devoted himself wholeheartedly to setting up the magic circle, he was not so overwhelmed that he completely ignored the news from the outside world. He knew very well that at this time in history, Princess Griffin should have been preparing to go to Ampersel
, start negotiations with Anlek.
Since the Spring Dawn Moon of the Year of the Sword, Her Royal Highness the Princess has actually reached a certain level of agreement with Grand Duke Anlek.
He was actually a little hesitant about whether to let Her Royal Highness the Princess and Anlek contact first. After all, with Anlek from the north standing in the way, Tonigel would not fall into the biggest whirlpool of the crown prince dispute immediately.
But Brando quickly made a decision. As a princess, he would never allow history to repeat itself.
Now that he has made up his mind, he wants to put on a good show when the princess goes to Ampelsel, and this time the stage is naturally the largest trading port in Eruin. The time has been determined, and everything he is doing now is actually
All in preparation for the next trip.
Brando did not put down the work at hand, but sent Charles and his men out to look for the planeswalker's card. He knew very well that he could not lead an army to Ampelsel, and even the Black Wolf could not follow him.
Go on, what is truly reliable is the planeswalker system and your own strength.
But after the battle in the Black Forest, the planeswalker system is now basically in a semi-disabled state. If he wants to revive this system, Brando knows that the first thing he needs is a new method of fishing for graves.
He arranged all this in a planned way. Starting from the end of the Winter Qin month, the upgrading of the army, the reconstruction of Valhalla and the search for planeswalker cards were all carried out in an orderly manner. To outsiders, Tonigel seemed
It was unusually quiet, but slow and amazing changes were taking place inside.
Such silence lasted until the first week of the Spring Dawn Moon, when a piece of news was delivered to Brando's desk.
