After Richard learned the Blue Qi Entrainment Technique, he taught it to Ron and Viscount Sauter respectively. Ron, who also had the hero template, quickly completed the introduction.
However, Viscount Sauter was still unable to complete the entry. Viscount Sauter, who was originally quite talented, began to have self-doubt under the attack of Richard and Ron.
Regardless of the issue of cultivation, at this time, Richard was taking Egger with him to learn about the equipment situation in the ordnance factory in Ironwood City.
The entire factory area was in full swing. The Ironwood City Arms Workshop, which originally had only a dozen half-qualified masters, expanded greatly after the Hunter family defeated the Will family.
The craftsmen of the Will family were all recruited into the Ironwood City Ordnance Factory. After they became familiar with the assembly line operations of the Ironwood City Ordnance Factory, they greatly improved the manufacturing efficiency of the Ordnance Factory.
"Is this made from our own iron ore?"
Richard asked from an iron gun head on the shelf that had not yet been installed on the barrel:
"Yes, this batch of equipment is all made of the ore produced by the vein in the Iron Wood Forest."
The steward who was following him quickly answered.
"How does it compare with the mine originally bought from the Western Region?"
"The weapons and armor made by the mines in the Western Region are of better quality, but they are too expensive. We can use more materials in our own mines, and the quality will not be much worse."
Richard nodded in agreement. When there were few people in the past, it was still affordable to buy high-quality iron ore from the Western Region. Now that the army has expanded tenfold, it would be unwise to blindly pursue quality. He has to live a careful life.
"How much armor and weapons can we produce every week now?"
"With sufficient raw materials, we can produce more than 100 pieces of cloth armor a week, more than 50 knight swords, more than 500 gun heads, and thousands of arrow clusters."
"Now the knight swords and spearheads have met the expansion needs. We are mainly focusing on making cloth armor, and we will expand production to a certain extent after a while."
In the feudal era, there was no shortage of weapons. What was really lacking was armor. One of the important indicators of the combat effectiveness of an army was the armor coverage rate.
Although cloth armor is simple in process and cost-effective, it is armor after all. Even with the introduction of leading production methods such as assembly line production, production capacity is still somewhat tight.
Up to now, half of the Flying Bear Army has no armor and is currently training in linen clothes and straw rope leather armor.
Richard checked the quality of the armor and weapons and was basically satisfied.
For all large-scale equipment, quality issues cannot be fully considered. A balance point must be found between price and quality.
These equipment may not be said to be excellent, but they are definitely qualified ordnance. In the entire North, except for the wealthy Jingbei Army, Richard is probably the only one who can afford to wear armor for all soldiers so extravagantly.
"Production is gradually increasing, and don't relax on quality. You have to pay more attention. Thank you for your hard work."
"Unfortunately, everything I have is given by Mr. Richard. I..."
What Richard said made the manager of the ordnance factory beside him blush with excitement, and his words became somewhat incoherent.
After encouraging the workers, Richard led several of his men and left the ordnance factory.
It's a new week, let's take a look at the development of Stone Castle.
In the new week, another building point appears in the castle. The temple that produces level 5 soldiers and the cavalry camp that produces level 6 soldiers are still in a gray and unbuildable state.
Richard couldn't figure out the reason for the time being, so he could only choose to upgrade the swordsman camp to a crusader camp first.
"really."
Richard squeezed his hands in excitement. After the building was upgraded, the previous swordsmen were all ready to be upgraded. He decisively spent some gold to upgrade all the swordsmen to crusaders.
This week, Richard's personal strength and the military power under his command have almost improved by leaps and bounds. Now look at Richard's personal panel:
Name: Richard
Level:4(560/8000)
Strength:12.9
Physique:11.9
Agility:12.1
Spirit:4.2
Skills: Beast Breathing Technique (Grandmaster) is the highest level, Blue Qi Entrainment Technique (Beginner Level), Offense Technique (Intermediate Level).
Replacing the universal air-entraining technique with the Blue Air-Entraining Technique can be said to be a shotgun exchange for a cannon. All aspects of attributes and fighting energy can be considered to be at the level of a senior knight.
The system troops under his command have received another wave of reinforcements, especially the ten Crusaders, which means that Richard has increased the combat power of ten knights under his command (Ron is no longer counted as a heroic unit)
Although the system's army is powerful, Richard still attaches great importance to the operation of his own forces.
After all, the system's army will be stronger if it is stronger, but the number is still too small. The most produced spearmen are only 20 in a week, and only 2,000 in two years. It will be very insufficient on the battlefield where hundreds of thousands of people may be encountered in the future.
.
After studying the various buildings of the Stone Fortress for a while, Richard visited the military camp again and brushed up on his sense of presence.
In less than a month, these new recruits have been trained in a decent manner. After all, there is Ironwood City official academy, and Ironwood City has no shortage of qualified grassroots officers. Quasi-knights who can serve as grassroots officers with their accumulated experience have also begun to
Become rich.
After dealing with chores for a day, Richard had a clearer understanding of the military strength of his subordinates.
At this time, he began to think about the more difficult task in his mind. With more than a dozen knight-level combat forces overwhelming the formation, he might try to wipe out a small ogre tribe.
…
Piaoxue City, in the mansion of the Fourth Young Master of Lanster.
Lin Te was still doing research with a few books given by Richard. Since getting them back from Hunter last week, Lin Te had stayed in the house without going anywhere. He just kept studying with these books and taking notes.
annotation.
I'm afraid Richard himself doesn't see things as carefully as Lin Te.
"Master, the Marquis has asked you to discuss matters."
While Lint was fascinated by the book, Sander's voice pulled Lint out of the ocean of books.
"Do you know what it is?"
Lin Te raised his eyes but did not put down the book in his hand.
"The Sword Eagle Knight detected the migration of a very large ogre tribe in the wilderness."
"How far is it?"
Lin Te finally put down the book in his hand and asked seriously.
"They came from the Western Wilderness. They are about three hundred kilometers away from the nearest noble territory."
Lin Te frowned after hearing this.
Three hundred kilometers is already very close. If we walk faster, we can enter the territory of human existence in a week.
Ogres have always been the most troublesome enemy for humans in the North. Each adult ogre is equivalent to the best among human quasi-knights. Stronger ogre warriors can even compete with knights.
In the past, ogres would migrate from the wilderness to the edge of human territory, but the number was not large. The most recent incident was when a medium-sized tribe came and less than 500 ogres came, which directly led to the demise of several noble families.
A super-large ogre tribe consists of at least three thousand ogres. If one person fails to respond well, it may have very serious consequences, so Lin Te cannot ignore it.
"Come on Xander, let's talk as we walk."
Lint rarely showed a serious attitude and urged Sander to rush to the Lanster family meeting room.
