Don't mess with that dragon

Chapter 158 Armed Orcs
The cold winter has passed, and Kawa Great Forest has ushered in a new round of recovery of all things.

However, this year's forest is shrouded in an atmosphere of uneasiness, as if something is about to happen, especially Austin, who feels a sign that the rain is about to come.

This period of time is a good time for hunting. In previous years, the forest was full of all kinds of animals that had just come out of hibernation from their dens at this time, but this year there were a lot more animals, including those giant beasts. The Dragon's Nest army had to increase the frequency of patrols to nip the danger in its infancy.

"There must be something going on, and maybe the big tribes on the frontier know a thing or two."

Today Austin's early dragon family, the current number one warrior of the Dragon's Nest tribe, the lizardman Rodney, had lived in a large tribe that was destroyed on the border earlier, and he also had the same origin as the fox-faced man Kui. Ke, Austin learned from their mouths that since a few years ago, the number of attacks by those large tribes on the bloody border of humans has increased frequently, and the battles between forces have become more and more frequent.

It’s just that at that time Austin thought that the “civil strife” among the orc tribes was caused by the fact that the Scarlet Great Wall was completely perfected and completed after hundreds of years, which greatly prevented the orcs from invading the human world to obtain food. , does not seem to be the case.

Austin also questioned the dark elf Adinglik and the captives of the Blood Claw branch, but they knew nothing about the chaos on the border, not even why they established a stronghold near here. Not sure.

But despite this, the news they provided about the fact that several super tribes on the border began to unite to attack the Scarlet Border made Austin feel tricky.

"What is the danger?"

This treacherous situation made Austin instinctively feel a little uneasy, but that uneasiness did not develop to the point of death, and now that the Dragon Nest family has developed to such an extent, Austin also has a certain amount of confidence to face it. future danger.

"Although I don't know what happened, but this is also an opportunity."

With the continuous rampage of wild beasts, monsters and giant beasts, except for the Dragon Nest tribe, basically no orc tribe nearby can be confident of keeping safe, so a large number of people have been annexed by the Dragon Nest tribe one after another. Now the population of the Dragon Nest tribe has reached It broke through the [-] mark.

Moreover, with the current strength of the Dragon Nest tribe, a large number of animals and beasts only provide a lot of food for the tribe. Fortunately, every time the Dragon Nest tribe clears up the surrounding animal giants, there will be another wave of beasts within two days. The group passed by, so that the entire Dragon Nest tribe did not suffer from food shortages due to the rapid population increase.

"However, we still have to be prepared to face the danger, and we must first carry out the orc arming plan."

Today, the magic version of the Navy's sixth style has completely developed three styles, iron block, blue wave, and shaved. However, it will take a while for the core dragon vein servants to master these three styles, and the armed orc plan that Austin thinks Naturally, it is not these, but real weapons.

After a full three months of development attempts in a cold winter, the goblins have perfected the copper smelting process. Although they failed to refine the "bronze" in Austin's memory, those copper alloy weapons are not inferior to ordinary iron weapons. quality weapons.

With the passing of the cold winter, the restrictions of the weather have disappeared, and the orcs have been able to carry out large-scale blast furnace production work.

In order to arm the army of the Dragon Nest Tribe, Austin transferred a large amount of orc labor to copper smelting, so that the land reclamation work slowed down. Strength is much easier than clearing up wasteland forests, so although the planting population has been transferred in large numbers, the speed of clearing up wasteland and planting work has not slowed down compared to the previous year, but has sped up a bit.

However, Austin is also secretly concerned. If the unknown incident affects the Dragon Nest Tribe, the Dragon Nest Tribe may be relocated. Therefore, Austin did not issue a mission to open up wasteland today, but let the orcs open up wasteland and cultivate the land last year. planted on ripe ground.

In order to maximize the planting effect, every field is basically planted with kudzu vines, and other varieties of grain are only planted with some seeds.

On the other hand, in order to realize the armed orc army plan in Austin's mind, at the stronghold of the copper mine, a large number of orcs used local materials to build blast furnaces one by one.

Immediately, a large amount of charcoal was fired, and the ore was poured into the blast furnace for large-scale firing.

With the copper axe, the job of cutting down trees became much easier. A large number of surrounding trees disappeared and turned into raw materials for copper smelting. Thick smoke gushed out from the blast furnaces, and the sky of the entire copper mine stronghold was covered with darkness almost all day long. Covered by raging smoke, if it was in the modern society of Austin's previous life, he would have been arrested the next day on charges of polluting the air and destroying the environment.

But this is a different world, and such a little pollution is not even a drop in the ocean. It is estimated that it will be absorbed and purified by nature in three or two strokes.

As a large number of blast furnaces burned, a pair of thick, simple and rough copper armor, a copper gun, a copper sword, copper arrows, etc. came off the assembly line and armed the orc army.

After more than ten days, the arming plan of all Dragon Nest orc troops has been completed.

Looking at the huge open space, the teams of armored weapons gathered together, and the orc army rolling in with vigor, Austin's confidence in his heart also grew a little bit.

Such a team fully armed with metal, I am afraid that in the entire Kawa Forest, there is only Austin's Dragon Nest Legion.

With the completion of the arming plan of the Dragon Nest Legion, the strength of the Dragon Nest Legion has also been greatly improved. For the strangling of the wild beasts raging around in the near future, the effect is an immediate improvement.

Prior to this, in order to reduce losses, the Dragon Nest Legion had no less than 200 members in each hunting legion when they went hunting.

But now, with all the weapons and armor such as bronze guns and armor, even if dozens of orc legions go out to siege, there will be no accidents, and the harvest is not less than before, which greatly enhances the mobility of the Dragon Nest Legion. At the same time, it also greatly increased the hunting harvest of the Dragon Nest tribe.

After the Dragon Nest army was armed, the daily prey obtained by the Dragon Nest tribe increased by several percent.

Metal weapons are so effective for hunting, I am afraid that in times of war, the improvement in the combat effectiveness of other orc tribes will become even greater.

However, with the completion of the Armed Dragon Nest Legion plan, Austin did not take advantage of the trend to carry out a substantial change of costumes for all Dragon Nest orcs. He only produced a large number of bronze spears for the orc militia, and did not match the bronze armor. It's just that copper production tools such as hoes and iron catalpas were collectively allocated.
