This is a city close to an extinct volcano. The fertile volcanic ash makes nearby crops grow extremely well. Pieces of soybean plants grow closely on flat terraces. Beans are also the main source of plant protein for animals.
The green terraces built around the mountain are like stairs from top to bottom, covering this extinct volcano. There is only a huge grotto on the mountainside. Following the grotto is an extremely wide avenue, with moss on the road from time to time.
Rock rhinos pull minecarts in and out.
The heavy steel mine carts dug deep ravines on the gravel mountain road. A rabbit-eared tribe wearing linen clothes used a long pole to hang a red fruit. This kind of sugar apple is deeply loved by mossy rock rhinos.
, as long as they are hung in front, they will follow the direction of the fruit and are very obedient.
At present, the rabbits are very skilled in cooperating with the monsters in the mountains, and have established a good relationship of trust with each other. They have a very clear understanding of the hobbies and habits of these monsters. The mossy rock rhino prefers cool and humid places. If it is normal,
They would not come inside the volcano, but the ore was so heavy that it was too difficult to pull the cart manually, so the rabbits had to think of other ways.
After some trials and observations, these honest rhinos liked this kind of sugar apple very much, and they could tolerate even pulling a mine cart to the inside of the volcano. Therefore, the rabbits exchanged their rewards for this kind of fruit. In addition, in order to take care of these rhinos,
For habits and protection, they will also put a bucket of water in the car and wet the rhino's back and body with water from time to time to dissipate heat and keep the body surface moist.
The red custard apple is said to have been introduced from the Eastern Continent many years ago. It is also called Bufona in the Eastern Continent, which means the fruit of longevity. Although this is an extraordinary world, there is no destined number of years to live.
According to the theory, this kind of fruit is just very sweet. If it is a special extraordinary variety, it can cure hidden diseases in the body and prolong life.
As the mine cart entered the interior of the mountain, waves of heat came oncoming, and the dark red firelight reflected on the surrounding rock walls. Then the noise became louder and louder, including the twitching of the bellows, the trembling of the iron, and the sound of the cooling steel.
The sound of water boiling and evaporating, the impact of giant hammers, and the rabbit ears wearing craftsmen's robes are metallurgy and forging metal products.
Inside the volcano is an irregular red lake, which is full of hot magma. Surrounding the magma lake is a wide circular walkway. Beside the walkway are workbenches, where hundreds of Rabbit Ear craftsmen are working enthusiastically.
While working, the crisp sound of metal collision can be heard everywhere.
A tall rabbit-ear tribe stood in the workshop inside the volcano. He was tall, with a round waist, and wore dark red steel armor with bright and protruding spikes, which made him look a bit ferocious.
At this time, a big man with black rabbit ears walked in. He was wearing a white cloak and fitted silver-white armor. Behind him were several gun-wielding guards wearing the same style of armor.
"Kanda, why are you here?" The tall rabbit-eared clan was a little surprised when he saw the big man in the white cloak coming in, but he grinned with a familiar smile on his face. It seemed that they had known each other for a long time.
"Lushan, I came here to see how the test of the new armor is going. His Highness Lorraine Hill has passed on the plan. A legion will be formed soon."
"Don't worry, I've been supervising and supervising here every day recently. Everyone is testing step by step. The basic process has been determined. What's left is optimization and maximum cost-effectiveness."
The words of this big rabbit in red armor were not as ferocious and prickly as his armor. He looked very easy-going and honest. He handed the big ax in his hand to the rabbit next to him, strode over and gave Kanda a big hug.
"We haven't talked for a long time, why don't we have a fight tonight and have some drinks."
"It's okay to make gestures, but not drinking for the time being. Business is important." Kanda smiled and the two of them walked and talked.
Considering the needs in the war, Lorraine Hill finally decided to form an elite legion mainly composed of cavalry. The others were ordinary legions with spears, swords, and crossbows, and the elites were given priority to enter the cavalry unit.
The current world of Ivar is still dominated by cold weapons. The existence of extraordinary power makes the individual's strength and physique far better than the ancient times in Lorraine Hill's memory. Moreover, there are armors made of various magical materials and some extraordinary professions.
With its built-in protective skills, the lethality of projectile weapons is far less than what I remember in ancient times.
There is an upper limit to the attack power of projectile weapons, such as the pulling force of the crossbow, the loading capacity of early gunpowder, etc. Even if you are a powerful Hercules, the bow and arrow you shoot are limited by the performance of the weapon.
A broken bow has no other effect.
Therefore, most of the battles in this world are still solved at close range. Crossbows have great advantages at low levels, but as the extraordinary sequence increases, after sequence 4, the role of crossbows begins to be greatly weakened, unless you can
Attaching magic power and other skills to arrows is what the elves are good at, but other races are not so good at it.
The cavalry on the battlefield can often play a decisive role and change the situation of the battle. Without cavalry, even if the opponent is defeated and the enemy flees, they will not be able to pursue much and cannot expand the results. Moreover, sometimes in order to attack the enemy's weak troops, the line will be broken and the enemy will be able to escape.
In rearing, outflanking, etc., cavalry is the most important. This is why Lorraine Hill, like other forerunners, prefers cavalry.
"Kanda, although I have said it many times."
"But Lao Lu, I really admire Your Highness."
"What's wrong with you?"
"You'll know when you come over and take a look."
Lushan brought Kanda to a workbench, on which were two pairs of armors, which seemed to be made of steel.
"Look, the armor on the left is the armor I bought from someone in the west wind. It is said that a down-and-out nobleman sold the armor left by his ancestors in exchange for money. I later found someone knowledgeable to see it. It is indeed the real thing. That
The bastard will regret it in the future. This fine armor shows that his ancestor must have been a viscount."
Then his thick hands opened the upper part of the armor, revealing a brass shield-shaped micro-badge.
"The pattern on this micro seal is a hill burning with flames, indicating that its owner was a veteran of the 'War of Quenching' and had made great contributions. It is estimated that after the founding of the West Wind, he was at least given the title of viscount. After all, the West Wind at that time was
The king is still very generous to his subordinates."
"Then on the right is the new armor we made according to the drawings given by His Highness. The amount of steel used and the weight are basically the same as the West Wind armor on the left."
Kanda looked at Lushan with some confusion, and Lushan continued.
"We tested the strength of the two, and guess what?"
"That must have been given by His Highness."
"Yes, how much stronger is it?"
"Three times?" Kanda slightly overestimated.
"No, ten times!"
Lushan laughed loudly, then picked up the giant hammer next to him and struck it hard twice. The armor on the left was dented, and several small holes were pierced by the convex corners of the hammer. The white steel armor on the right bounced slightly.
It started, making a metallic trill, intact.
[White Steel Armor] (Rare Silver Grade): The plate armor has been improved again through advanced technology. It has excellent toughness and strength. It can disperse the impact force and greatly reduce the damage. It can be manufactured on a large scale and is extremely cost-effective.
This is an improved version based on the technology of the Mercurial Dynasty after Lorraine Hill obtained the blueprints. It may not be very strong, but the cheap and streamlined materials make it possible for everyone in the legion to wear it and get good protection. After all, everyone
Every life is precious, and letting everyone survive is her most preferred direction.
