Chapter 1551: In the Armor
With the new idea, the master and Pork Chop were too busy to bother with Gordon anymore.
Gordon knew that he would only be a hindrance if he continued to stay there, so he put Mutti on his shoulder and staggered away.
In the following days, I don’t know if it was because my mood became brighter and I was optimistic about everything, or because all the major forces and institutions were finally getting up and running.
The progress of preparations in all aspects seemed to have suddenly accelerated.
We got news from Anshil that a group of veterans who had participated in battles against monsters and even had experience in repelling ancient dragons had arrived in East Doruma.
Not surprisingly, their pass rate in the Evil Eye test was much higher than that of ordinary elite soldiers.
Although there is still a gap compared to the top hunters carefully selected by the guild, at least there is the basic qualification to appear on the battlefield.
There were also many familiar faces among this group of people.
For example, the fortress guerrillas that I met in Lockrak, the members of the fortress archery team, the Shikigoku samurai group brought by a wealthy merchant, and the members of the artillery team of the Elgard stronghold, etc.
The archers who passed the evil eye aura test were arranged by Anshil into the artillery regiment. As for the swordsmen, although their strength could be considered outstanding, they could only be assigned to carry ammunition.
Without the equipment and strength of a top hunter, standing in front of a "forbidden" level monster would be a death sentence.
In any case, the artillery regiment was successfully formed.
Although there are less than twenty members at present, according to Ansel, the number will reach thirty to forty in a week at most.
After that, they will suspend the recruitment of new members and focus on collective training.
This number is far less than the "at least a hundred people" that the general initially expected, but Ansel believes it is completely sufficient.
Thirty or forty well-trained people can perform far better in actual combat than hundreds of disorganized people.
The creation of standard weapons and protective gear is also proceeding in an orderly manner.
Gordon was very much looking forward to seeing what amazing destructive power this artillery regiment would unleash once it was fully formed.
Anyway, he definitely wouldn't dare to stay near the monster when it was focused on him.
There is also good news.
The airship that came from the Elgard stronghold brought not only members of the Kingdom's Artillery Team, but also the new equipment that Hayata and his men had been longing for.
When Minale led a few craftsmen and brought the equipment to the door.
Feng Ying was moving chairs and pouring water everywhere, she was so excited that even the quiet Hayata could not hide the look of anticipation on her face.
When the craftsmen carefully took out the equipment from the special boxes, Gordon couldn't help but sigh.
Just as they had expected, the appearance of this equipment was dazzling.
All of them are dominated by gold and silver, with a little azure blue as embellishment. The gorgeousness carries a sense of solemnity unique to the kingdom's knight culture.
Feng Ying stared at the crystal ore inlaid on the shield of her axe, which was as big as her head and as pure as glass, and swallowed quietly.
He asked Minalei unconfidently, "This crystal? There shouldn't be any extra charge, right?"
Minalei put one hand on her waist and said unhappily: “Of course, do you think we are profiteers?
These gems were voluntarily dug out from the bottom of boxes by the master craftsmen who participated in the forging of this batch of equipment. Each one is extremely precious.
But the master craftsman didn't feel bad at all, saying that being a part of these 'holy vessels' was better than being cut into jewellery that only looked good on the outside!"
Feng Ying immediately nodded with satisfaction, "That's good, that's good"
"Excuse me, can these crystals provide any special effects?" Hayata asked curiously.
There are many crystal minerals in nature that are rich in energy, such as light crystal, pure crystal, etc. They are all very valuable equipment materials, and their effects are even not worse than dragon jade.
But Minale shook her head, "It's mainly for decoration, but don't worry, these crystals are extremely hard and there is almost no possibility of them being damaged."
"Just for the sake of looks?" Gordon curled his lips.
"It's not for 'looking good', it's to restore the color scheme of the Silver Knight! Gold, silver and blue are all indispensable." The red-haired female craftsman said in a serious tone.
"Initially, we planned to use blue wing membranes as decoration, but later we found that the wing membranes turned purple due to rodent virus infection.
In order to restore the noble figure of the Silver Knight, the master craftsman decided to use crystal instead. "
Hayata picked up the sword that belonged to her.
The shape of this katana is more like a knight-style slashing sword, and the blade is relatively wide and thick. Hayata simply swung it twice and found that the center of gravity was well arranged, and the slightly heavy feel made her very fond of it.
She likes this simple-looking sword.
Unlike some strange-shaped swords, it takes some time to get used to it before you can use it well.
"Silver Engraved Blade!" Minale said proudly, "The blueprint for this sword has been handed down from ancient times. It is a weapon used by knights to kill monsters.
The flesh and blood of all monsters will be cut open by this silver sword!"
"Where's mine? Where's mine?" Feng Ying asked impatiently, holding up her new shield and axe.
"Silver-engraved axe!" Minale puffed out her chest and continued to introduce: "The shield is made of the Silver Knight's 'Silver Light Shield Wing' as the main material, and the overall shape is modeled after the dragon's wings, and it has amazing defensive capabilities.
The slashing sword was made using the 'Beautiful Fang of the Silver Dragon'.
When the two are combined into one, they will become an indestructible giant axe that can cut monsters into pieces!
Both weapons have the highest level of sharpness, and their destructive power is self-evident. The intensity of the dragon-attribute energy contained within them is also extremely astonishing.
I was fortunate enough to take over the materials of the Dark Abyss Dragon and the Heavenly Dragon. The dragon attribute energy contained in those two ancient dragon materials is far less than these."
After introducing the two weapons, Minale looked around and said, "Huh? Mr. Ansil isn't here? His armor is the highlight."
Gordon winked at Feng Ying and said, "Go, bring An Xier back."
"Yes, sir!" Feng Ying saluted in a not-at-all standard military salute, then rode away on Amber.
They didn't have to wait too long. Anxier, with obvious impatience on his face, was dragged back here by Fengying.
Gail also came with them, and she also looked very interested, "Hey, what's wrong with taking an hour or two off at noon? Don't military personnel also need to eat lunch and rest?
Minalei and the others have come from afar, so we can’t just let them wait until night.”
Anhil felt that what Gail said made sense, and his expression looked better.
"Silver-engraved Cannon!" Minale first introduced the heavy crossbow.
The introduction is pretty much the same as the previous sword, shield and axe, all of which are "weapons passed down since ancient times, the silver heavy crossbow will shoot down all monsters" and so on.
Ansel didn't listen to her introduction. He just held the gorgeous heavy crossbow and checked the parts of each part bit by bit to confirm the feel.
Although he didn't look as excited as Feng Ying, Gordon could see that he was also very satisfied with this heavy crossbow.
"Looking at the design, the most suitable types of bullets should be normal bullets and penetrating bullets?" Ansel interrupted Minale's passionate speech and asked for confirmation.
Minalei nodded heavily, "That's right! In addition to these two common crossbow bullets, it is suitable for firing a new type of crossbow bullet called 'Dragon-Slaying Bullet'.
This crossbow bullet combines the characteristics of penetrating bullets and dragon-killing bullets, and is very powerful. The only drawback is that the cost of blending materials is relatively high."
"That's not a problem." Ansel closed the crossbow with a satisfied look on his face.
After introducing the heavy crossbow, Minale took a deep breath.
Together with the kingdom's craftsmen, he moved the huge equipment box, which was more than a meter tall, to the crowd.
"The real finale is coming next!"
Lift off the cover and you'll see a full set of knight armor that looks fundamentalist.
"Her name is [Original]."
Minale had just started to speak when Ansel raised his hand to interrupt her.
He noticed something with his sharp eyes. He walked closer to the armor and stared at the gaps in the armor for a long time. "It seems that there is something hidden inside this armor?"
"Yes!" Minale nodded vigorously, "Those are the gnawing insects that live symbiotically with this armor!"
Anshil and others were stunned when they heard this, and Gail couldn't help but swear.
"Nei Ma, are you having a brain problem?"
