"It seems that we have underestimated the Flame Legion before. Not only are they very effective in training their troops, but they also far surpass us in terms of equipment for their soldiers. The arrows used on the mainland are far inferior to their long arrows, let alone their crossbows.
Look at the end of his arrow, it is not a diamond-shaped arrow like ours, but a small spiral shape. At first I didn't know what it was used for, and if it is done this way, it will greatly increase the manufacturing speed of the arrow.
But just now, after I stabbed the beasts abandoned by the Flame Legion with arrows, I realized that this is to increase the lethality. After being shot by this arrow, the arrow will rotate slightly and tear the wound. After I shot an animal with a complete crossbow arrow, I found that the wound size of the arrows we use and their arrows is nearly twice as large, the depth is also nearly half the difference, and the blood loss rate is much different. I really don't understand, how can the Flame Legion have such powerful equipment? "Looking at everyone's shocked eyes, the commander of the first division continued to comment on the equipment used by my army.
"Indeed, I am very skeptical as well. Last year, the Flame Legion did not have the strength to surpass any legion directly under the imperial capital. After the battle against the Senke Federation, I seemed to feel that a strange force had emerged in the Flame Legion. The last news from Huangshi City said that the Flame Legion used several very powerful siege weapons, but there was no detailed information due to the long distance, and this time there were two kinds of abnormal archer equipment. If this goes on, other legions directly under the empire will soon decline, and may even eventually fall into the hands of Duke Shalo..." Weimar, the commander of the Second Division, also said worriedly, imagining that if the legions directly under the empire were reorganized by the emperor under the pretext of lagging far behind in combat effectiveness, then the entire military system would be purged, and even lead to chaos in the imperial army, or even war.
"Your concerns are indeed justified, but you missed the point. Why does the Flame Corps have those equipments? Why did they let an ordinary magician who doesn't know martial arts and even has little magic skills be the supreme commander of the Flame Corps' 6th Division
As far as I know, the one named Shen Hanlong was from the Xia tribe. On his journey to the Senke Federation to dig for gold, he encountered the army of the Senke Federation that was counterattacking the Eastern Territory of the Empire. In the end, he was the only one left in the entire village and was rescued by the Eastern Territory's army.
After that, the Eastern Territory reversed its previous situation of being suppressed by the Senke Federation and began to hold its ground. It wiped out a large number of the Brown Bear Legion and the Black Wolf Legion of the Senke Federation in defense and counterattack, and then retreated calmly after the arrival of the opponent's magician troops.
After that, a catapult with an extremely long range appeared in the defense of Custer City, and this weapon was used to quickly defeat the coalition forces of the Black Wolf Legion and the Brown Bear Legion, eventually leading to the Brown Bear Legion being besieged and annihilated by the Eastern Lord.
Therefore, I think the Flame Legion obtained those extraordinary weapons after they arrived in Custer City, and Custer City possessed such weapons after Shen Hanlong appeared... " Slowly, a hypothesis came out of Feng Ya's mouth.
"This... Your Excellency, what you mean is... that all this is caused by that Shen..." After the atmosphere at the scene was depressing for a long time, Sally finally couldn't help but speak, but her expression, as well as the others, showed that they were very skeptical about this idea.
"In fact, in addition to this information, you can also see what happened after he returned to the Imperial Capital. If he had no performance in the Battle of Desolate Stone City, then why did he take over the 6th Division from Sack? And you probably also know that this guy had a conflict with the son of the Minister of Finance in the Imperial Capital, and unprecedentedly used pure magic scrolls to start a war. It is said that the magic scrolls they each consumed cost as much as 150,000 gold coins. How could he, a division commander, get so many gold coins? In addition, he also had money to buy elves and let the magicians of the Imperial Magic Corps teach magic knowledge. Is this the treatment that an ordinary civilian promoted to division commander can get?"
"Hundreds of thousands of gold coins! It is indeed impossible. Even if it is Thacker, if he has not made enough contributions to the family, then even he would not be able to obtain such a large sum of money. Apart from the situation that the adults mentioned, I can't think of any other possibilities..."
"Sir, why do you think they don't use the previous equipment, but use bows and arrows instead? No matter how powerful the bows and arrows are, they can't compare to the legendary terrifying giant crossbow! And how should we deal with each other in the future?"
"It's not up to me to decide what equipment they use... Regarding our relationship with the Flame Legion, especially their 6th Division, I think we should make it a prerequisite not to provoke them! Unless they provoke us first, we shouldn't start a fight. But now it seems that this possibility is relatively small. Judging from his actions just now, the man named Shen Hanlong is not very tolerant. He may continue to provoke us in the future, so you must be careful... But if he really goes too far, then you should not hesitate and just show them your colors..."
Feng Ya's answer was very vague verbally, but she knew it very well in her heart. Although the Flame Legion was only equipped with one division of new equipment, they might have already armed a lot of troops behind it, or they might quickly expand the army when needed in the future.
Feng Ya even shuddered as she imagined her own army being shot like hedgehogs from a distance, or being attacked continuously by those crossbows at close range.
But what can she do now? It is absolutely impossible to get such equipment directly from the Flame Legion. Unless she learns from Carsonte in the Eastern Territory and pledges allegiance to Shalo... or the Emperor immediately, she can forget about it.
Another possibility is to steal it and then counterfeit it. In that case, once his army is equipped with this weapon, it will inevitably become enemies with the Flame Legion, which is something he does not want to see.
Well, the last resort is to find an opportunity to pick up items from corpses on the battlefield. . . . .
