Empire of Shadows

Chapter 111: Demon-breaking Arrow

Views:

At this time, the commanders of the Fire Phoenix Army and the East Continental Allied Forces were in turmoil. They were both surprised and delighted by my appearance.

From the perspective of the East Continent Coalition, although I destroyed their three divisions plus a magician unit, this meant nothing in their hearts.

The main reason why the Mocaster Empire is called an infantry kingdom is not because their infantry is very powerful, but because their population is dense and it is easy to recruit soldiers. Ordinary infantry can almost immediately join the regular army as a reserve or supplementary soldier after 3 months of special training. A cavalryman must undergo more than 1 year of hard training to become a qualified soldier.

As for the Kingdom of Yan, where magicians account for one-third of the imperial army, those 2,000 magicians are truly a drop in the bucket (the regular army of the Kingdom of Yan reaches 500,000).

Therefore, what the commander of the East Continent most urgently wants to know now is the powerful weapons equipped by my troops that can attack magicians at such a long distance.

In their hearts, they now feel very lucky. They believe that if they were not lucky enough not to encounter a large number of Kastark troops equipped with such weapons, then the coalition forces of the East Continent would be in real danger this time.

And now, they are thinking about how to intensify the research on the weapons in the hands of my troops and equip their own troops in large quantities.

In addition, Feng Ya and other senior commanders in the Fire Phoenix Corps were also surprised and happy. What made them happy was that after the conflict with the Fire Phoenix Corps, I was still able to think about the Fire Phoenix Corps and decisively acted in the Fire Phoenix Corps' critical moment. However, the offensive power shown by our army just now surprised them very much. Under the attack of a heavy infantry division and a light infantry division, we cleanly and neatly wiped out the opponent in just a dozen minutes. In the subsequent small ambush, we once again ravaged the opponent, drove away the defeated troops, and fiercely counterattacked the opponent with the strategy used by the opponent just now. In the counterattack, the longbow we used once again attracted the attention of several senior officers of the Fire Phoenix Corps. The 800-meter projectile distance made all of them frustrated with their combat effectiveness.

"Sir, it seems that the man named Shen Hanlong is not a villain. After you gave him a blow, he actually came to rescue us. He is really magnanimous." Sally looked at the 6th Division of the Flame Legion, which was advancing like a hot knife through butter, with a mysterious color shining in her eyes, as if she had discovered some treasure.

"I don't know whether he holds a grudge against me or not, but based on what he has done now, if I can leave here alive, I will definitely apologize to him for what happened that day. But let's wait until we leave here alive before we talk about all this!" Feng Ya sighed lightly and said slowly.

Because my troops suddenly emerged, the situation on the battlefield changed drastically. Although the Fire Phoenix Army and I were still surrounded by the East Continent coalition forces, my unusual movement forced the troops besieging the Fire Phoenix Army to consider their worries. All the troops besieging the Fire Phoenix Army slowed down their offensive steps and began to fight steadily. This was to prevent me from breaking through the magician barrier and attacking them from both sides.

"Perhaps this is not the intention of that Shen, after all, their highest commander is Deputy Commander Pavel... But I still don't hold out any hope that they can penetrate the blockade of a magician unit again." Weimar himself is very experienced with bows and arrows. He knows that with ordinary bows and arrows, although they can shoot those magicians without shields from a long distance, they can never do anything to magicians who hold up magic shields. Of course, unless the new division of the Flame Legion in front of him can be equipped with magic-breaking arrows. But Weimar absolutely can't believe that such a division can be equipped with magic-breaking arrows worth hundreds or thousands of gold coins each... . . . . .

Weimar's words immediately put everyone's hopes into the cold. Facing a flying magician army, without heavy attack equipment such as catapults and crossbows, there was no threat to the magicians. Then, there were endless groans. . . . . .

“Oh my God! How is this possible? Am I dazzled…” When almost everyone was in despair again, Sally suddenly rubbed her eyes and shouted in disbelief.

"How is this possible? Those magicians have put up magic shields... but it's as if they haven't turned on the shields... Could it be... Could it be that they are really equipped with magic-breaking arrows..." Weimar could hardly believe his eyes as he watched the magicians who had moved from their positions to intercept the Flame Legion's 6th Division falling like rain again.

"It's the magic-breaking arrows. I don't know how Thacker could form such an army... This is not just a matter of military talent and technology. How much money does it cost? Without tens of millions of gold coins, it is impossible to meet their needs... But isn't it the dream of all military commanders to have such an army?" Feng Ya shivered and said this sentence almost tremblingly. Imagining her army fighting against this army, Feng Ya was horrified to find that one of the enemy's divisions could actually resist her entire legion. But Feng Ya was puzzled again. How could Thacker's faction have so much money to equip such an expensive army? So many magic-breaking arrows, even a rich finance minister would not be able to afford such a large sum. What is going on here

But who would have known that when I was making the magic-breaking crossbow arrows for the Holy Dragon Legion, I used the embezzled materials and the low melting point of dense silver to coat the steel arrows with a thin layer. In this way, a new generation of magic-breaking arrows was born. If the technology of this era was not so backward, I would even want to use electroplating technology to coat the steel arrows with a layer a few strands thick. . . . .
