King: Start with tauren plowing

Chapter 154 Shire: Someone is making explosives in the baron's mansion.

A little spark between two powder kegs can also cause great disaster.

In the central and eastern regions of the Kingdom of Sisinoa, the aristocratic coalition forces acting as the vanguard have entered the northern border area and stepped into the area of ​​​​the Tulip family.

Naturally, it is impossible for the so-called millions of noble coalition forces to stack together. In fact, they have three main directions of attack. The nobles in the central area of ​​the Kingdom of Sisinoa went straight north.Charles III was the lord of the Eastern Frontier. He led the main force of the coalition forces and the elite corps of the Griffon family to attack from the east to the northwest.

The last main attack direction originally planned was to lead a part of the coalition of nobles to cross the Alps and attack westward in parallel.

But the black mist temporarily blocked their footsteps.

The flames of war have not yet burned to the northernmost winter region, but the atmosphere of war has spread.Food prices skyrocketed like crazy, along with iron ore, leather armor, bows and arrows and other military items.

Originally, the price of grain in Winter Fortress was high, and small merchants in other noble territories would buy low-priced grain from the local area, and then transport it to Winter Fortress for sale. The Si family has the bottom line, and there will be no situation where it cannot be sold.After selling the food in Winter Fortress, replace it with sheepskin, cowhide and other items, and you can earn a fortune by transporting it back to the territory.

The same is true for controlled items such as iron ore.

But with the outbreak of the war, food prices began to soar, and various noble territories began to levy taxes and expand the army.The local food price has risen, but the price of food in Winter Fortress has not changed much, so the transaction is just reversed.

Now merchants buy food from Winter Fortress and ship it to nobles in the south, such as Viscount Barbarian and Viscount Kate.Cold Winter Fortress has changed from grain export to grain import, and it has become more prosperous.

But not everything is increasing in price, all kinds of slaves have started to plunge, prices have plummeted, and sales have plummeted.

The reduction of iron ore is a fatal injury to Cold Winter Fortress. There is no iron ore in Cold Winter Fortress, and there is no iron ore imported from outside, so the billowing black smoke from the blacksmith shop stopped.

Armor cannot be crafted, horseshoes cannot be crafted, iron farm implements cannot be crafted, weapons such as spears and hammers cannot be crafted.

Without weapons, the next step of military expansion will also become a problem.

In this case, the Noxian army returned to Winterhold, and the charr once again sat in the old nest.

In the living room, Charles called Old Mark, Abdekad, Biller, Bruno and others.

"Master, the iron ore reserves in Winter Fortress are less than ten days old. We need to solve this problem as soon as possible." Old Mark stood aside and reported. His face was dark and he seemed not in a good mood.

Henry was not there, but the Tauren Hammer tribe had an iron mine, which was later occupied by the Flying Claw tribe.

Now all the warriors of the flying claw tribe are wiped out, and the remaining centaurs are

Charles thought for a while, and ordered: "Bilair, you lead the Noxian Third Army northward, occupy the iron mines, and plunder the centaurs of the Flying Claw tribe."

"Of order, my lord baron." Billel nodded in obedience.The army of the Flying Claw tribe was wiped out, and only the old, the weak, and the sick remained in the tribe's camp.Now, they are an easy piece of fat, and for the Noxian legions, defeating them is a piece of cake.

eccentric!Abdelkader was a little envious, and he wanted to go too.I haven't killed people these days, and my hands are itchy again.

"Old Mark, Winter Fortress will enter into a control mode, food, ordnance, and weapons will not be sold outside." Charles continued: "I want to expand the army by two thousand, I don't know if Winter Fortress can support it now. .”

"Master, I think this is too urgent, and it will put a huge food pressure on Winter Fortress, unless the nebula wheat is ripe." Old Mark continued: "And there are not enough weapons now. After the expansion, recruits will Facing a shortage of weapons."

The food problem is very serious!

Unless the nebula wheat is accelerated to ripen, it takes four gallons of Faith Energy to shorten the ripening time by one day per hectare of land.

But now there are less than three hundred gallons of faith energy.

It seems that another sacrifice is going to be held, just as winter is coming, first dozens of sheep, cook dozens of pots of broth, and then prepare black bread, it will be a festival.

After the task was arranged, Charles asked them to retreat.

Afterwards, Charles studied the first-order magic inscription and became light and agile. This kind of inscription is used on the armor, which can greatly reduce the weight of the armor.If it is applied to the horse-drawn carts for transporting grain, wouldn't it greatly reduce the logistical pressure of transportation.

War competition is not only about the fighting will of soldiers, the command wisdom of officers, but also economic strength and logistical capabilities.

If the magic inscriptions can be used in food transportation, the Noxus army has already increased its chances of winning in advance when fighting.

But the transmission of magic power requires the material to have good ductility and magic power transmission properties.Mithril is a metal that can satisfy this property very well, but unfortunately, it is very expensive and rare, and it does not have the possibility of general application.

If it cannot be widely used, its value will be greatly reduced.

Shire has two directions, one is to look for new materials to see if there is a material that can replace Mithril, and the other is to improve the inscription and reduce its requirements for materials.

Finding new materials is a matter of luck. Shire doesn't have any good solutions, but to improve the inscriptions, Shire really has an idea, the plane drawing method of three-dimensional graphics, more precisely, how to use two-dimensional plane Represents a three-dimensional solid geometry.

With the idea, Charles quickly acted, and he found the armor he usually wears.The mental power turned into a blade, and the planar geometric diagram of the light inscription was carved on the surface of the armor.

When the last stroke was drawn, the inscription model was closed, and the magic power poured into the model spontaneously, and started to work with the model.A soft magic power attached to the surface of the armor, gently supporting it.

It seems to have worked!
This iron armor is half as light.The magic armor sent by Earl Tulip is inlaid with normal first-order magic inscriptions, and the reduction rate can reach 90%. After Charles' simple operation, the reduction rate can reach 50%.

Although the difference is a bit far, its requirements for materials are greatly reduced, and even if there is a chance in the future, every Noxus soldier can wear a low-end version of magic armor and enjoy the benefits of magic.

In addition, an ordinary carriage normally carries a thousand catties of grain. If it is replaced with an iron-framed carriage and equipped with this low-profile version of the inscription, the carrying capacity is estimated to exceed four thousand under the blessing of two or two.Once it can be realized, Noxus' train and caravan will usher in a new development.

In particular, large-scale food transactions can reduce the loss of food on the way and increase the total amount of each delivery.

Then, a new problem arose.

Describing magic inscriptions requires mental power, and this simplified magic inscription consumes about 1/10 of Charr's mental power.

But Shire needs to deal with government affairs, needs to practice, and can't exhaust his mental power. It is almost enough to write five magic inscriptions a day.

If only there was a magician working as a worker, he would be locked in a small black room and let him carve inscriptions all day long.

pity!Magicians are all sweets, and there are not many in the whole northern Xinjiang.

Ugh!
Feeling a little annoyed, Charles walked out of the study room. The windows in the mansion were all open, and the bitter cold wind came in, bringing a bit of coolness, making people feel sober and relaxed.

Having said that, it is not normal to keep the windows open in the cold winter, especially if there are old people like Mark and Mary in the mansion, what if they catch a cold?
Bloodletting?
But the servant explained that the window was opened by Butler Mark.

This made me wonder, the old Mark didn't have the habit of opening windows in winter, could it be that he had a second spring and lived younger?

This is a good thing, save him from bothering him.

He hates a chatterer, and what's even more annoying is that he has no good way to deal with this chatterer.

Charles asked the reason, and then realized that a maid named Yi Na had gone crazy.

Charles felt as if he had heard the name somewhere.

oh!Come to think of it, Old Mark strongly recommended this maid in his letter.No wonder this maid named Ina is crazy and hasn't been thrown out yet.

Suddenly, Charles became interested. He wanted to see what this maid looked like, so that Old Mark could never forget it.

Walking slowly along the corridor, the cold breeze blows on the face, taking away the exhaustion of body and mind, and flies out of the window to the vast wilderness.With the sound of light and heavy footsteps, Charles felt his intuition diverge, and various wild and unconstrained thoughts appeared one after another.

Walking to the door of the crazy maid, when he was about to open the door, Charles stopped, and suddenly he had a brilliant idea.

A grand and magnificent sacrifice can obtain innumerable belief energy, but no matter how grand and spectacular the sacrifice is, it is impossible to attract all the serfs under the Noxus family to participate.The place where the sacrificial offering was held must be in the Fortress of Cold Winter. What about the serfs in the Nockin River area, they couldn't possibly run back and forth for this so-called sacrificial offering.

Unless it is a itinerant sacrifice, but this will lose the solemnity and mystery of the sacrifice.

Shire now has a wonderful idea to solve this problem, that is projection, through the energy of faith, to simulate the scene of sacrifice, similar to watching TV and watching movies, so that the serfs under Noxus can participate in the ceremony without leaving the village Sacrifice.

There will be a problem of distance deviation in the projection. Winter Fortress is tens of miles away from the Knockin River. It is normal for the projection to be offset by hundreds of kilometers.But Shire's third magic model space coordinates can easily solve this problem.

Based on precise geometric coordinates, Shire can accurately project, and a sacrifice will cover all the villages of the Noxus family.In this way, the faith energy of the people can be harvested more efficiently.

With enough belief energy, Charr can shorten the grain maturity time, and under the chaotic background of the Sisinoa Kingdom, grain will become the hard currency of the entire Sisinoa Kingdom.

There is a saying that goes well, neighbors store grain and I store guns.But Shire not only has food, but also guns, and is protected by powerful Noxus human legion, tauren legion, and centaur legion.Moreover, Noxus still bears the heavy burden of defending the north, especially after the destruction of the Silver Fox family, the Noxus family has become the first line of defense for the Kingdom of Sisinoia against the attack of the orcs in the northern border.

With all three, Ciel felt that the Noxian family was on the verge of taking off.

Boom~
Just when Charles was thinking about the future, a violent explosion came from the inside of the baron's mansion.Looking back, half of his baron's mansion collapsed.

Can anyone explain why there is a bomb in his baron's mansion.

……

Korimian steppe.

A long-dried weed was trampled to pieces on the dry and hard ground, and the sparks that erupted surrounded the horseshoe inlaid with horseshoes. The flames lingered along the horse's legs and even burned to the abdomen. This is a galloping semi People and horses.

After the centaur passed, groups of centaurs galloped past, and small pieces of smoke floated up.

As a centaur, Bilair did not show any sympathy for the Flying Claw tribe. On the contrary, after receiving Shire's order, Bilair immediately took command of the Noxus Second Army, and the army set off that afternoon.

When the Flying Claw tribe arrived, it didn't teach the nearby tauren a lesson, or attack the human baron's territory. The first thing it did was annex the Tusk tribe of Biller.

For freedom and to resist the enemy's invasion, many warriors of the Tusk tribe wanted to fight with Bilair even if they were hungry.

But now, it's their turn to the Tusk Horde.What the Flying Claw Tribe did back then, Billel would do it, and what the Flying Claw Tribe didn't do, they would do as well.

The warriors of the Flying Claw tribe were wiped out, which means that there are very few middle-aged men in the tribe, which also implies that the Flying Claw tribe is full of older bereaved centaurs. complement each other.

Just as Biller was about to move on with the army, several orc camps suddenly appeared in the east.

"Command the Noxus army in charge of security to be vigilant and prevent the orcs in the orc fortress from being disturbed." Bilair ordered again and again.

"Master Commander, we have hundreds of warriors, and there are only two or three orc camps in front of us. We are afraid of them." Suddenly, Biller seemed to think of something, and he beat his palm, "Commander, are you worried about us?" Raiding these strongholds will alarm the Flying Claw tribe."

Biller shook his head and explained that through the great god worship conference, countless orcs would gather together for a short time to reach a temporary peace.After the God Worship Conference, they will take advantage of this hard-won peace and go south to invade and plunder.

But before the war started, it was necessary to have vanguard troops to explore the terrain and inquire about intelligence.

And these few orc fortresses that appeared out of thin air probably came from this way. It seems that when the orcs invade south tomorrow, Winter Fortress will be one of their must-choice choices.

Now I can only pray that the main attack direction of the orc army is not the Kingdom of Sisinoa, otherwise Winter Fortress will not be able to withstand the attack of the orcs.

After going back, you need to tell the baron the news, so that the baron can prepare in advance.

However, Biller didn't think that he could use it if he told it in advance. From the Knockin River area to the Winter Fortress, there was a large area of ​​flat land, and there was no danger to defend.Once the orc army breaks through the line of defense, they can quickly arrive at Winter Fortress.

However, the main task now is to find the flying claw tribe and capture the people of the flying claw tribe.Soon, Bilair ordered the Noxus Third Legion to walk towards the camp of the Flying Claw tribe.
