When Char visited the dwarf station again and threw the list of replacement equipment in the army drawn up by the thick logistics department to the rock, the dwarf warrior just glanced at it and almost sat on the ground.
"The almighty Thor is above!" Shi Yan took a breath, and the huge head shook desperately: "Impossible, it's absolutely impossible!" He stared at Xi Ya and protested loudly: "Respected general, if you want to Everything on this list is built, and my brothers and I are going to be with you for at least a year or two!"
"How could it be? You have four hundred people." Xia giggled and said, "The four hundred dwarf craftsmen worked hard to make these things for me. How could it not take so long."
"Humph! We dwarves have our own pride! The things we build must be fine! If all you need is that kind of ordinary stuff, the pride of dwarves won't allow us to build that kind of thing." Rock said very firm.
Asking prices all over the sky, and repaying the money on the ground. This is Xia Ya's usual trick. He looked at Rock's angry look, laughed, took the list back, and replaced it with a much thinner list booklet: "So, what about this number?"
"It's impossible." After taking a look at Shi Yan, he said solemnly: "To create a piece of high-quality equipment, you need high-quality materials. In my opinion, respected general, even if you are a duke or aristocrat among human beings, you There shouldn't be so many high-quality materials in my hands."
Xia Ya smiled, took back the second list again, took out another piece of paper from her arms like a conjuration, and said with a smile: "Then, this list should be fine, I have prepared enough materials. ."
After looking at the rock, he was finally speechless.
This is a list, just hundreds of cavalry equipment, including armor, lances, sabres, cavalry shields, and horse armor.
Char's goal is very clear. He wants these dwarves to create a set of elite equipment for his ace army "Qianqi Battalion", so that his ace army will be even more powerful.
Just imagine, with the invincible attack power of the strong cavalry battalion, if coupled with the sophisticated equipment built by the dwarves, then looking at the mainland, which army can block its edge in the field
With a toothache expression on his face, Shi Yan hesitated and took over the list.
Xia Ya immediately raised her eyebrows and waved her hand: "Bring in everything from outside!"
There was already a large group of carriages waiting outside the gate of the dwarf station. Dozens of carts brought the iron, equipment, etc. stored by the logistics department of Denzel City.
In addition, Char also ordered the logistics department to organize dozens of blacksmiths to assist the dwarves in their work. The euphemistic name is to attack, in fact, Xia Ya has secretly confessed, let these guys pay attention to stealing teachers, and learn as much as they can.
In addition, Shi Ya also took the initiative to ask Xi Ya to send some people for them to use. After all, smelting metal and building equipment requires a lot of manpower. For example, it would be a waste of time to let the dwarf artisans do things like burning carbon by themselves.
Char Ya boldly transferred two battalions of auxiliary soldiers from the logistics department to help the dwarves.
Finally, he took the rock to the tent, and then his personal soldiers came in with a few boxes.
"I need to build a real weapon!" Char's expression was serious: "This is not an ordinary thing, I need a real good thing! You organize your hands and choose the best craftsmen among your dwarves. Come out and help me build this thing! During the building process, no matter what you ask for, I will try my best to meet it.”
Saying that, Xi Ya kicked the lid of the box open, and the rock looked over at a glance—with just one look, the dwarf warrior took a deep breath, his eyes were bigger than an ox, and his beard was shaking. .
"The great Thor!! Dragon scale! It's actually a dragon scale!!"
The rock's voice was trembling, and his voice was hoarse from being too excited.
"Well, my eyesight is good, it's the dragon scales." Xia Ya looked at the terrified expression of the rock, and was a little proud: "In addition to the dragon scales, there are also some keels and dragon tendons... You see, the materials are very complete!"
After Xia sighed, "I need a set of dragon-type equipment, do you understand?"
The rock has already rushed to the top of the box, just like a drunkard who sees fine wine, his hands are stroking back and forth on the dragon scale, as if he is stroking his lover, and even his eyes show a look of intoxication.
"My God... this is the scale of an adult dragon." The rock muttered to himself: "The great Greybeard King has a dragon-scale shield, which is a treasure passed down from the Greybeard's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather. But Even that dragon scale shield is only made of young dragon scales... God, God of Thunder bless me, I am fortunate enough to see so many high-quality dragon scales!!"
Shi Yan suddenly turned his head: "Dear General, have you dug up a dragon's grave? Or have you undoubtedly found a dead dragon's cave?"
"Damn, I'm a tomb robber." Xia Ya looked disdainful: "I killed a dragon with my own hands. What you see are the spoils of this general."
Xia Ya was brazenly blowing the air, ignoring Dora's disdainful sneer in her mind.
"Slaying the dragon?!"
When the rock looked at Xia Ya again, it was obviously shocked and fearful.
For a long time, dwarves did not look down on humans. Dwarf warriors are born with divine power. Because of their race, they have excellent strength talents. Even women and children among dwarves are much stronger than an adult human. And the elite warriors among those dwarves have innate divine power, which is incomparable to human warriors.
For dwarves, humans represent "fragile". This view is similar to how humans view goblins.
For a long time, although the rock has been polite to the "General Char" in front of him (after all, he eats and drinks for free at other people's houses), but in the end, he doesn't have much respect, just because the other party is that terrifying Merlin The identity of the mage's son only maintained a reluctant little respect.
But... if this identity is added with the halo of "Dragon Slayer Warrior", it will immediately make a big difference!
No matter in any race, in any era, in any culture. To be able to defeat a powerful dragon and kill the opponent by oneself is considered a great and awe-inspiring feat!
A warrior who can defeat a dragon, no matter in any race, must be respected!
Rock's performance immediately became much more polite. He looked at Xiaya with a little panic in his eyes. This honest dwarf was worried, whether he had lacked respect for this "dragon slayer" before.
Xiaya enjoyed the dwarf's eyes and expressions, he waved his hand boldly: "Okay, it's all a matter of the past, it's not worth mentioning, but it's just killing a dragon, you don't need to look at it with such eyes. Come on, let's talk about how to use these things."
In her mind, Dora hummed angrily again.
Shi Yan took a deep breath, and his tone was hesitant: "Respected general, if it is an ordinary material, I dare to pat my chest and tell you, I can make it for you by myself... But, these dragon scales... I'm worried that my skills will not be able to make these materials perfectly used. If such a precious material is broken, it will be blamed by the gods! Oh my god... what a fine dragon scale!"
"Can't you?" Xia frowned, "Aren't you dwarves born blacksmiths?"
"We dwarves are good at making utensils, even women and children, the craftsmanship of making utensils is better than that of human craftsmen, but the problem is... these materials are too special, unless they are real master craftsmen among us dwarves, In order to make the best use of things. Although I can also build things, please understand that my profession is a warrior, and building tools is not what I am best at.”
Speaking of which, Shi Yan swallowed and spit: "If you have to make me... I'm worried that some materials will be wasted in the process of making... "
"Waste? Waste it, waste it." Xiaya waved his hand boldly.
What a joke, I finally got the chance to catch these dwarves to work for myself. Where can I go to find other dwarven masters who are better at crafting weapons? Even if there is such a dwarf, it is probably impossible to serve him.
Anyway, these dragon scales... how many boxes are there under the bed in the garrison's own room! It really doesn't work. It's a big deal. Go to Yehuoyuan to find the cave where Dora was killed, and then peel off the remaining dragon scales and bring them out... Anyway, there are some things, so I'm not afraid of wasting some. As long as you can create a tool that makes you happy...
Think about wearing a dragon-scale armor... How majestic that is!
Shi Ya was stunned by Char's arrogance for a while... This guy is simply a crime! Such a precious dragon scale actually doesn't care about waste at all.
But the dwarf's talent makes the rock has been quickly calculated in the mind.
"Sir General... These dragon scales, I can make a set of battle armor, and a shield is no problem, a knight's hand shield, and a half-body shield for foot combat. As for other materials? …Dragon tendon is a rare and precious material that can be used as a bowstring to make a powerful bow. But you must understand that dragon tendon can be used to make bowstrings, but there is no material for good bow tires.”
"Can't dragon scales? What about keel?"
"The material of the bow tire must be hard, but also tough and elastic. The dragon scales and keel are too hard, and have no elasticity and toughness, so they are not suitable for making bow tires." Rock shook his head.
Char is a little disappointed.
He used to be an excellent hunter, and his archery was naturally quite good. For an excellent shooter, it is really a pity that there is no strong bow in hand.
He once owned a bow of great interest - alas, the Howling Bow had been destroyed during that adventure in Damandras' lair.
"In this world, there are Lantis people among humans who are good at making bows and arrows. In addition, there are only elves." Rock said frankly: "Especially the elves, their bow-making skills, Even better than our dwarves. There are elves in the city now, and the general may wish to ask them."
Xia Ya nodded, this may be a way.
But the rock then raised a new question.
The dwarf looked at Xiaya, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Dear General. I can build all the dragon scale armor and shield you need, and I will choose from among the 400 brothers with me. It takes time to build these things with the best craftsmanship brothers... I think with these precious materials, with the excellent technology of our dwarves, one month should be enough to complete. But there is a problem."
"If you have any requirements, feel free to ask." Xiaya was very happy to think that he would be able to wear a full set of dragon scale armor in a month.
"It's not our problem, this problem may trouble you."
"Oh?"
The rock took a deep breath: "You must know that dragon scales are a very heavy material, and their weight is at least twice as heavy as metals of the same size! And the armor you need is full body armor, and also With a shield... then a full set of equipment is built, and the weight will probably reach an unacceptable level."
"Are you worried that I can't wear something so heavy?" Xia sneered.
"No no no!" Rock shook his head again and again, and said in the most sincere tone: "I absolutely believe in your strength! How could a warrior who can slaughter a giant dragon take such a small burden in his eyes. I It means... If you wear a full set of such heavy equipment, then I am afraid it is difficult to find a suitable mount for you. I know that your favorite mounts are horses, but I believe that even the most majestic horses are very good. It's hard to carry you wearing such a set of equipment!"
This is indeed a problem.
Xia Ya was originally born to be tall and sturdy, with a strong physique and a heavier weight than ordinary Byzantine warriors. If you add a set of heavy dragon scale armor and shields and other equipment...
Even if I have no problem, I am afraid that I really can't find a war horse that can carry me.
"A full set of dragon-scale battle armor and a shield, I'm afraid it will weigh five or six hundred pounds! Plus Char's own weight... And don't forget, the weapons that Char likes to use are those heavy weapons. For example, a battle axe... and even the fire fork he carried with him was a very heavy thing!
Even if there are war horses in the strong riding camp that have been strengthened with the magic liquid of muscle fruit... but even that kind of war horse, I'm afraid it can't carry itself!
Reluctantly use it, I am afraid that during the war, the war horse will be exhausted before it can run!
Do you want to change from cavalry to infantry? "
"Actually... Maybe I have a solution that can barely solve this problem, but, this way..." Rock said sneakily, looking a little nervous.
