Even if the Chaos infantry wants to break the iron spearhead with its natural sharp weapon, the soft spearhead unique to pilum will make it suffer.
In this way, even if the climbing Chaos infantry breaks free from the heavy javelin, it will waste a lot of time on the stairs for no reason, thus creating more attack opportunities for the defenders.
It would be even better if you simply throw away the shield. When you climb the city wall without a shield, you have to rely on hard resistance. With the current quality of the soldiers of the First Corps, they can easily cooperate with multiple people to attack the Chaos infantry without plate armor protection or weak points. .
The Roman heavy javelin pilum will be like a stinky piece of shit, constantly disgusting the besiegers.
The effect is far better than the common armor-piercing arrows.
After all, no matter how heavy the arrow is, it is impossible for it to be heavier than the pilum.
There are more than a dozen arrows inserted into the shield, as long as it is not damaged, it can be used continuously, but as long as a Roman heavy javelin is inserted, it will be full of inconvenience to use, and the narrow and long body will continue to cause trouble for the user.
……
In order to ensure a certain degree of self-sufficiency, the Giant Eagle Fortress has a number of blacksmith shops and repair shops, which are dedicated to repairing the weapons and equipment that can still be used. There are materials, and they can be recycled to the maximum extent.
Only two hours passed between the time Carter proposed the concept of the Roman heavy javelin to the blacksmith, and the finished product appeared.
Although these blacksmiths who studied under Vaal's priest were not recognized by Vaal and did not blind themselves, they were very high in craftsmanship and level.
Based on Carter's simple description, they almost perfectly copied the Roman heavy javelin without drawings or real objects.
After they experimented on the shooting range, they affirmed the special structure of the javelin.
"General, this kind of javelin is indeed a natural enemy of wooden shields. If the throwing angle is good enough, even a shield inlaid with iron can't stop it. Even if it can't kill the shield bearer, it will greatly affect their flexibility in fighting with shields sex."
After demonstrating the effect to Apu, who came after hearing the news, the city lord immediately agreed to make a batch of Roman heavy javelins and equip them for each city wall.
For elves who are already good at using long-range weapons, it is equivalent to adding another means of close-range strikes.
If counting from the ballista and the magic turret, the enemy attacking the city will start to be hit by the long-range firepower of the elves at a distance of one kilometer. Starting from 300 meters, the long-range firepower projection received will double for every 100 meters forward. When they come a hundred to fifty meters from the city wall, they will face a storm made of wood and metal.
It will be a storm of multiple dense firepower composed of ballistas, magic turrets, bows, javelins and magic attacks.
Chapter 234 Change and Research
The daily garrison of the fortress is actually quite boring, and the time flies by like flying. The First Corps has arrived at the Giant Eagle Fortress for a week.
Except for the giant eagle knight flying overhead every day, bringing more and more bad news, there is nothing new at all these days.
On weekdays, either staring at the pass where you can't see the bottom in a daze, or lying on the bed and playing games with your hands is boring.
In order to ensure sufficient morale, Carter, who had nothing to do, obtained the permission of the general Apu Tsang, and vacated several rooms in the various city walls to transform them into entertainment rooms without affecting the defensive function.
Put some elves' traditional games that can be played indoors into these rooms as entertainment items, and at the same time, some games such as badminton, billiards and table tennis in the previous life are also transformed and added to the entertainment room, so as to make it more interesting. Sexuality was greatly increased, and this new sport and game was very popular with soldiers.
Just a small reform turned these useless storage rooms into entertainment rooms that all the defenders flocked to. Everyone was looking forward to going to the entertainment room to relax with these interesting games after a day of duty. Stress and killing time.
On the surface, these entertainment rooms seem a bit playful, but Carter knows that if the soldiers are not given a certain degree of entertainment to relieve stress and pass the time, it will only wear down their will to fight.
How many elves feel extremely hopeless and boring because of the lack of new things and entertainment means in their long lives, and finally choose to end their lives.
Carter had watched a classic military drama "Soldiers Assault" before, and he has had a profound impact on what happened to the fifth squad in the grassland. The boring life all year round made those soldiers lose interest in everything, and they were just dawdling.Occasionally encountering a lost sheep can make them yell for a while, because then they can go out of the station to talk to the herdsmen and encounter something different.
This shows the importance of appropriate means of entertainment for the army and soldiers.
……
"It's time to eat. Today is ground bean fried shredded pork with snail noodles."
The cooking soldiers who are in charge of distributing food on duty every day have also become the existence that the elves have been looking forward to.
After Carter's training, those cooks who are responsible for cooking in the kitchen and only know how to cook broth and white bread to fool people all day long have also become excellent cooks in a short period of time. According to the menu given by Carter, they are constantly changing. Tricks to the defenders of the fortress, providing delicious dishes unheard of in Ulthuan.
Eating became the happiest thing for the elves in the fortress apart from entertainment for a while.
The cuisine of the elves is not simple, especially the food that the nobles eat is exquisite and delicious, but those things are prepared for the nobles after all, and inevitably have the disadvantage of long preparation time and high material cost.If you want those low-motivated cooks to make that kind of high-end stuff, it's better to find a reason to fire them directly.
Therefore, under Carter's careful selection, the classic Chinese food that stood out from the major cuisines of the previous life has become the undisputed mainstream food in the Giant Eagle Fortress after localization.It's delicious and not too difficult to cook, and it doesn't increase the cost too much. At the same time, it can obviously increase the happiness index of soldiers. Why not do it?
The result of the two-pronged approach of the entertainment room and food is that the mental outlook of the fortress defenders has changed drastically, and everyone is full of energy when they are on duty.They don't want to be unable to go to the entertainment room and eat delicious food for the next few days because of their negligence. Elves also have the habit of being extravagant and simple.
After all, if conditions permit, who would like to suffer all day long?
Even the Rabbit Army, which many people misunderstand, attaches great importance to the material and cultural relics living places of grassroots officers and soldiers.
Without that army's combat effectiveness, it is maintained by poverty and hardship.
………………
Carter, who was deeply loved by the officers and soldiers, became the most prestigious officer in the Giant Eagle Fortress for a while, feeling a little bit suppressed by the general.
As a guest army, it is really not a good idea to be so high-profile.
If there is a gap in the trust between senior officers, it will often have a great impact on the army.
After all, this is the territory of the Elyon elves. Carter spent a lot of thought to establish a good relationship with Apu, and at the same time explained the situation so that he would not really misunderstand.
Thanks to the overall social atmosphere that favors the brave, facing Carter who took the initiative to release goodwill, the fortress general who had never experienced a large-scale war finally accepted Carter's existence calmly.
After all, in Ulthuan, there are very few troops with more combat experience than the First Corps. He still needs to rely on the combat effectiveness of Nagareth soldiers.
Therefore, the phenomenon that Carter became the second in command was acquiesced.
After initially solving the morale and combat effectiveness problems of the troops, Carter, who was idle, took advantage of the privilege of the second in command to recruit many skilled craftsmen.
Since Aenarion hadn't heard any news yet, Carter tacitly agreed that their research on gunpowder hadn't been scheduled yet, so he planned to do it himself in the Giant Eagle Fortress.
Ever since he became an elf, Carter's memory has become clearer, and many forgotten memories have been retrieved. He even remembered the production methods of spark transmitters and ore radios that he had been obsessed with for a while.
But after careful consideration he gave up and only went on to study black powder and similar chemicals.
Although it is very important for a society to make communication convenient, but in this time when evil gods exist, anything that is too convenient may become a channel for their corruption.
In order to prevent the corruption from Tzeentch, Saffrey's famous big library has to regularly check the contents of the books and whether there are text traps set, so that unsuspecting readers will suddenly be recruited.
For this reason, they need to spend several times more management managers and funds every year.
It can be seen from this that even if Carter came up with a convenient communication device, there is a high probability that it will only make the chaos corrosion more intense.
Maybe as long as you turn on the radio, Tzeentch will continue to send out various misleading messages.
……
As a natural cooling agent, saltpeter is distributed all over the Warhammer world, and Ulthuan also has many natural saltpeter mines
Most elves buy this kind of thing in order to cool it in summer, so there are a lot of it in circulation on the market. Just checking the inventory, Carter found dozens of kilograms of saltpeter.
Not to mention charcoal. As a necessity for heating and blacksmithing, the amount stored in the fortress is too much to run out. Sulfur is a little difficult to get but it doesn't take much effort.
After collecting all the necessary materials, the research on gunpowder, which has never appeared in this world, began.
Chapter 235 Emperor Dragon "Galrosh"
Due to the existence of clones, the progress of the black powder experiment is frighteningly fast, because as long as a new ratio of experimental objects is prepared, Carter will let several clones take them with them to find a place where no one is around to experiment secretly.
With the powerful dynamic vision of Sharingan, Carter's avatar doesn't have to worry about the explosion caused by the failure of the experiment, or other chemical reactions.If you don't want to experience the feeling of being blown to death, you can just cancel the clone effect and dodge in place. Anyway, there are still several substitutes to continue the experiment.
As a result, in less than three days, after [-] failures, the primitive black powder that could be used initially was born.
It's just because the ratio is not perfect, the explosion effect is not very obvious, but after all, he has found the right path, so Carter is not in a hurry to continue the experiment, and at the same time, he began to ask for more raw materials from the rear of the regular supply.At that time, once the formula is completed, as long as there are sufficient materials, earth bombs and the like can be made continuously.
However, Carter also knew that black powder and soil bombs were not really sharp weapons to deal with the Chaos army. At best, they were icing on the cake.But ever since he saw elves in the outer ring tortured to death because they were comatose or in a hurry to escape, and even thought they were being played at will, he felt very uncomfortable inside.
Therefore, he had an idea in his heart to create something similar to the Glory Bullet, at least allowing the elves to have the means to die together at critical moments.
Although the soul will eventually fall into the mouth of Slaanesh and become its delicacy if there is no help from a mage or a god, but at least there is no need to endure the terrifying biological experiments of Nurgle demons before death.
The feeling of being thrown into the boiler of Nurgle as a material is definitely more terrifying than death.
Since you will be tortured anyway in the case of being alone, at least physical torture is omitted.
And it's not completely hopeless to enter Slaanesh's belly, at least in the Sigmar era, the Thai brothers and the elves who became gods still had a way to rescue their former kin from its belly.
That's why Carter was interested in black powder, which was cheap and affordable, and could be mass-produced once the technology matured.
This is not his detonator bomb. Although he is now able to produce stably, he is alone after all. Even if he maintains 007's enthusiasm for production, it is still a drop in the bucket for millions of elves.
What's more, he can't do 007, and continuously splits out clones to maintain high-intensity work. The consequence is that they will accumulate unimaginable mental fatigue, and when they are released, they will flood into the main body like a tide.In this situation, even Iron Man will have a headache for a long time before he can recover.
However, the days of stability are always short-lived.
Just two weeks after Carter came to the Giant Eagle Fortress, and the time was getting closer to the end of the year, the Dragon Squad, whom he had been looking forward to for a long time but never came, finally received news.
It's just that this news made him a little confused.
"Your Majesty, are you sure you are asking us for help? The order I received is that there will be a dragon squad that will come to join the defense system of our Giant Eagle Fortress."
In the main room, Carter asked uncertainly.
"Yes, the specific situation is this..."
……
Caledor's dragon prince and giant dragons, as the battle situation got worse, began to form a team of a few or even a dozen people, and took the initiative to go to the chaos-ravaged outer ring land to regularly clean up and gather more and more dense chaos troops.
There are not many emperor dragons nowadays, and the emperor dragon named "Galrosh" is the most powerful dragon among the dragons who go out, and because of the special status of the emperor dragon, even the elven dragon princes of Caledor , can't form a contract with him to fight side by side.
Under the killing of these giant dragons, even the Chaos creatures, which are famous for their numbers, are a bit too much.
Under the planning of several ever-changing demon lords, a trap was formed against the emperor dragon Garrosh.
A day ago, during an operation in which Garrosh led the giant dragon to patrol the outer ring, the Emperor Dragon encountered a Tzeentch monster and a small number of troops. The proud and powerful Emperor Dragon flew towards the Changan Demon Jun, but the other party didn't have the slightest intention of dodging, and let the emperor dragon bite off his body without moving.
As a result, at the moment when the neck of the ever-changing demon was bitten off, it turned into a cloud of mist and poured into the body of the emperor dragon. The proud emperor dragon fell to the ground in pain, howling continuously. After discovering that the Emperor Dragon was tricked, it also popped up like bamboo shoots after the rain, and surrounded the Emperor Dragon tightly to prevent the accompanying giant dragon from taking it away.
The dragon prince and the dragon, in any case, cannot accept that a powerful emperor dragon is corrupted by the army of chaos.
But Tzeentch, who had been prepared for a long time, had already distorted the surrounding space, making them unable to cast long-distance teleportation magic, and there was no way to take away the emperor dragon "Galrossi" through teleportation, so they could only use the stupid method to use communication The eagle sent out a distress letter, and then guarded the emperor dragon tightly, preventing those eager followers of Tzeentch from taking it away.
……
"Tear... the Emperor Dragon Garrosh"
Carter had heard of this famous Tzeentch dragon in his previous life, but he didn't expect that the time when it degenerated into Tzeentch dragon was actually now.
"The giant dragon family is our solid ally of Azul. Now that we have sent distress letters, there is no reason for us to stand idly by."
"Yes, we are also the closest unit to them, but..."
Apuzhang also knew the existence of the Emperor Dragon. They had to rescue them if they had the conditions, and they had to send someone to rescue them if they didn't. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain to the Kingdom of Caledor and the allies of the dragon afterwards.
"I will lead the captain of the rescue force."
In this case, Carter can guess what his worries are without using Sharingan to peep into his mind.
Rescuing the Emperor Dragon is a very tricky thing.
It can trap the Emperor Dragon and several giant dragons accompanying it, which shows the strength of the enemy.
"The situation is urgent, and the enemy is quite powerful. The number of personnel for this operation must be 'fewer but better'. If a large force is assembled, according to intelligence, we can only march on the ground. Only the gods know how many enemies there are along the way. With us, time is too late.
So I want to organize a fast air force, the 44 giant eagles of the Raptor Regiment, and rely on magic to reduce the burden, it should be able to carry two people on the road.Therefore, the maximum number of rescue teams cannot exceed eighty, and the personnel can only be selected from the Skyhawk Brigade and mages.With a full set of enchanted equipment, the soldiers of the Aquila fully equipped brigade, with strong combat power and magic resistance, are the best personnel to protect spellcasters.
As for mages, because they need to undertake heavy tasks, they cast lightness spells and invisibility magic along the way, and when they arrived at the rescue site, they had to cast large-scale magic many times to kill Chaos creatures to buy time for us to rescue Galroshi.Therefore, the personnel must have a deep reserve of magic wind, and at the same time have a strong mental will, otherwise I am afraid they will not be able to survive. "
"Okay! Just mention anything you need, magic scrolls, enchanted arrows or other things, as long as there is a rescue team in the treasury, just take them!"
Seeing that Carter confidently raised the requirements for the components of the rescue team, Apu couldn't help but sigh in his heart for the reliability of the outer ring elves, and at the same time let go of all authority.
"Taking away so many mages will cause a lot of crisis for the fortress. The general must guard against it. No one knows if this is a serial trick. This evil god's lackey is best at using conspiracy and tricks. If the purpose of besieging Garrosh It is to force the fortress to send reinforcements, reduce the defensive force and then take the opportunity to send a large army to attack, and things will become uncontrollable."
"Don't worry, the fortress is now entering the first level of combat readiness. I will find a way to arrange the positions that are vacant due to the transfer of mages!"
"Okay, time is running out, I'm going to select personnel!"
Carter, who left the conference room, held the roster of the entire fortress in his hand, and turned to the part where the mage's name and abilities were registered. His eyes seemed to be on the accelerator, and he quickly browsed at a speed of ten lines at a glance.
After half an hour.
The more than 80 elves who were urgently summoned had already assembled and waited on the playground between the two city walls.
236 chapter
The outer ring turned into ruins.
In the wilderness a hundred kilometers away from the Giant Eagle Fortress.
Several giant dragons are constantly circling and flying beside a super giant dragon lying on the ground and twitching constantly.
Whenever those filthy chaotic creatures want to approach, with the help of their dragon prince partners, they will always dive in time and use flames and sharp claws to let them understand that the dignity of the dragon family cannot be trampled.
Lying on the ground and howling in agony was the Emperor Dragon: Galrosh.
There are many legends about the Regosaurus, including "Bloody Skarazak", who in the future alone held back many dwarven armies around Karak Kadrin, and the great Skurex, whose head is still undisputed. Behemoths that inhabit the peaks of Norsca.
The sight of a Regosaurus in battle can only be described as ghastly, capable of ravaging entire armies, leveling towns and farmlands, and eating herds.Once a Regosaurus is enraged and ready to kill, few creatures or heroes can defeat it in any seemingly fair fight.
