Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 111 The Lord's Special Weapon

We are about to go to war with the dragon army. Only the crossbow can pose a threat to creatures like dragons, so it is obviously impossible to abandon it.

"The tension of the full steel crossbow arm mixed with magic metal is too strong. I'm afraid only the silk of the golden silkworm of Cass can withstand it. I wanted you to buy this material to make the bowstring." An Zhui smiled bitterly and shook his head: "But I didn't expect the war to come so quickly and suddenly."

The Kass Nest Weaver Silkworm he mentioned is a magical creature of very low rank, but the silk it produces is extremely tough and strong. After processing, it becomes the best bowstring, which is the backup bowstring used by the dragon hunting crossbow, in addition to dragon tendons.

To be honest, he still maintains a good attitude towards the upcoming war between High Cliff Castle and the Dragon Legion, and he is pinning his hopes on these upcoming crossbows.

But now that they have finally solved the problem of bowstring difficulty, they are faced with the problem that ordinary bowstrings are not strong enough.

"This is military supplies that are under strict control. Even if there is news, it cannot be purchased so easily." Li Wei shook his head, thinking that An Zhui's idea was a bit whimsical.

Not to mention asking Miriel and other chambers of commerce for help, even for him, a serious pioneer lord, it is unlikely that he would compete with Debe's regular army for the ownership of such scarce military supplies.

What good is a crossbow without a string? At most, you can pull it out to scare someone, and you have to hope that the other person is blind.

Facing the attack of the giant dragon, Levi appeared to be relaxed, but he was actually feeling very heavy.

To be honest, half of his confidence comes from these crossbows, and the other half comes from the confidence in his own strength.

With his strength, he is confident that he can give even a giant dragon a hard beating as long as it dares to fly at low altitude. However, the most disgusting thing about this creature is that it can fly and its intelligence is no less than that of humans.

If he finds something wrong and flies high into the sky, the lord can only stare at the swan like a toad.

Therefore, the bed crossbow, whose range generally exceeds one thousand steps, is particularly important. This can effectively deter dragons and prevent them from breathing at low altitudes.

"Just build the crossbow, and leave the rest to me."

Levi patted the old man An Zhui on the shoulder to give him a shot of prevention.

"Sir, do you have similar magic materials?" An Zhui asked excitedly.

The bowstring of the bed crossbow does not necessarily have to be made of silk from the Kaas weaving golden silkworm. It is also possible to use other similar materials.

As long as they had enough materials to make two crossbow bowstrings, Gaoyabao would definitely increase their chances of winning the war. They might even be lucky enough to satisfy their desire to slay a dragon.

The lord looked at him and smiled as well, and the tacit understanding between the two of them surged in silence.

"no!"

An Zhui had a bad temper when he was young, or it could be said that there was no blacksmith who didn't have a bad temper. However, as he grew older, his temper seemed to settle down and gradually become gentler.

But at this moment, this old man in his fifties was searching the ground for a hammer.

"But I have a batch of spare bowstrings for excellent longbows. If I twist them into a strand, I guess it should be able to be used." Levi's words made An Zhui give up all his impulsive behavior.

As a ruthless man who bent the bow arm himself, this lord must be aware of the tension of the bow arm. He must have known the situation well to dare to say such words.

"You guys should work harder during this period and build as many crossbows as possible. I will solve the problem of the bowstring." The lord then remembered something and took out two crumpled pieces of parchment from his pocket: "By the way, make these two things for me first, and remember to add some mountain copper into them."

Since the big boss had spoken, the blacksmiths naturally had no objection and prepared to start working overtime today.

Thanks to the fact that Levi was a civil engineer in his previous life, his drawing skills were naturally impeccable, and An Zhui could understand what was drawn at a glance.

But after understanding it, I couldn't help being shocked. The things drawn on these two drawings were very ordinary, but the values ​​were extremely shocking.

A shield that is two fists wide weighs several thousand pounds. Even the gates of the mighty cities in Derby are probably no heavier than this.

The other is a giant javelin that looks like an anchor, with an iron chain at the back end.

An Zhui looked at the lord and seemed to be hesitant to speak. These two weapons might only be used by giants with incredible strength. However, after seeing the lord's tremendous strength, An Zhui suddenly felt that the lord might be able to use them.

"It is my duty, my lord."

He suppressed his inner excitement. As a blacksmith who had been dealing with iron since childhood, he could vaguely guess the functions of these two weapons.

"I've called Mil over, he will share the burden with you." Levi said.

During this period of time, he has been leaving Mil in the Fed tribe to train. Now that the protagonist who designed the bed crossbow has joined, it will obviously speed up the production of the bed crossbow.

Therefore, he asked Beristina to write a letter without hesitation to transfer him over.

The Fed tribe must have trustworthy people stationed there, so after some consideration, Levi sent the middle-aged warrior Jos over there.

Although this former soldier coach of the Fed tribe did not have any outstanding talents, there was one thing that Levi valued very much.

That's stable!

I would rather not gain military merit than make mistakes.

This kind of personality may not be suitable for participating in battles and being responsible for attacks, but it is more than enough to be a manager in charge of a side.

The main thing is iron ore, which is neither important nor unimportant.

Its inherent value is of course important, but what is not important is that the iron ore cannot be taken away.

Even if it was attacked by others, Levi would not be in a hurry and could just take it back.

Therefore, the position of iron mine manager can be said to be a retirement position, and it is most appropriate to send Joss, a middle-aged man with little ambition, to the position.

As for the bowstring, there was no longbow bowstring. The so-called spare bowstring was just what Levi was going to buy from the system.

Generally, the goods in the system are about 30% to 40% more expensive than the real ones, so Levi would never buy large quantities of supplies from it unless he had no other choice.

Let me briefly talk about the most cost-effective bowstring that he decided to buy after reference. The system price is five gold grams per bowstring, but in reality only about three are needed.

Maybe the difference won’t be that big if you buy a small amount, but once the amount reaches one hundred, the difference is nearly two hundred gold grams.

Levi waved his hand, and the one thousand gold grams he had earned from selling scrap weapons during this period were instantly gone.

There are ready-made bed crossbows for sale in the system, but the price is easily over a thousand dollars, which is not something Levi can afford at all, so he can only choose to build the bed crossbow himself.

Zat and his men delivered the assembled bowstrings to An Zhui, and the problem with the crossbow was basically solved temporarily.
