Warhammer Throne

"Well" late at night, when Teresa went to the guest room to rest, in the master room, Ryan was chatting with Olica, and at the same time he smiled at his bed and said, "Veronica, come out." !"

"This is really me, the most humiliating day of my life!" The Garland Witch still wrapped herself in a quilt, her voice was already frustrated: "I actually lost to Trovik, the little princess of Garland! Umm! ,hug me!"

Ryan had to take Veronica out of the quilt and hugged it on his lap. Even so, Witch Garland buried her head in his chest and did not want to get up. Ryan stroked the witch's back: "You It's normal to not be able to beat her. Although Teresa's strength is slightly weaker than yours, her full set of equipment and staff are much stronger than you."

After speaking, Ryan seemed to think of something, and he couldn't help laughing again.

"You're still laughing!!!" Veronica was so angry that she twisted her man's waist hard, and then she remembered something, and once again buried her red face in Ryan's chest.

When Ryan rushed to the reception room, Witch Garland was tied to the sofa with five big flowers, her eyes were red and she was about to cry. Ryan quickly untied the rope and hugged her to comfort her for a long time.

Ryan is not surprised that Veronica will lose to Teresa. In terms of strength, Teresa is a little weaker than Veronica, but compared to the full set of equipment and magic scrolls, Wei Ronika is good at light magic and fire magic, and she is indeed not Teresa's opponent when she can't fully use it.

"Okay, it's okay, Veronica, I won't underestimate you because of this." Ryan had to continue to comfort him: "It doesn't matter if you fail, you can beat her again in the future."

"Hum, I originally made an appointment with her. If she loses to me, she will get out immediately, but I didn't expect that she would get a seven-ring magic scroll from Elder Aurora." Veronica finally eased. , She sat on Ryan’s lap and hugged his neck and complained: “It was evenly matched at the beginning, Ryan, my feet are sore, help me rub it.”

Ryan smiled and helped the Witch Garland rub up her shredded fleshy feet, and sighed inwardly: Veronica is really a smart woman, she knows exactly what she wants, and lost to magic. Teresa is not important, and the witch immediately took this opportunity to find her back from him.

Teresa still needs experience.

Since the sorceress also came to Ryan's territory, the battle between the two witches began. Theresa prevailed in capital, Veronica was smart and smart, and the two witches had both wit and courage to make Ryan. After reading a lot of jokes, of course, it was the Baron himself who got the benefit in the end.

At first Teresa was still very unconvinced, always thinking that she was the best, until she met Su Liya.

The appearance of the Duke's daughter finally made her understand something.

Ryan couldn't manage that much now, the Baron had his own affairs to do.

That's about artillery.

When Ryan first talked about artillery to the dwarf craftsman, Deron actually refused, because Ryan could not tell him to do artillery.

Here we have to mention the "holy alliance" between the empire and the dwarven supreme king. Even after countless years, this covenant is still kept by the empire and the dwarves. Among them, the secret of gunpowder is selflessly shared by the dwarves. Gifts, powerful gunpowder weapons opened a new page about war.

Therefore, the empire and the dwarves strictly adhered to the agreement and kept the gunpowder technology secret together. In Bretania on the side of the Grey Mountains, the only artillery the knights could get were some outdated old cannons that were eliminated by the empire, and most of them could only be used for Defend the city, and it is not convenient to carry and transport.

So what is the main siege weapon in Bretania?

It is a trebuchet.

Ryan has seen this giant siege weapon in Curona. It consists of about six to eight large wooden parts. Through a series of levers, gears and curling mechanisms, the huge straight arm of the catapult is pulled. And down into the firing position, the other end is connected to a giant stone counterweight. A huge lasso is connected to the long arm of the trebuchet, which can hold rocks, stone building debris and even dead animals. When the trebuchet fires, the extra momentum added by the lasso to the moving arm makes it throw the stone. The machine can have a longer range and greater power than ordinary stone crossbows.

If Ryan used the eyes of the celestial empire, this thing was a "returning gun" used by the Mongols to siege the city.

The trebuchet is very powerful. It can be said that compared with the giant cannon of the Empire, the trebuchet is not inferior to the power. The huge stones thrown by the trebuchet can destroy most enemies, and even many greens who like to act in groups. In the nightmare of Pi and the Beastman, the disadvantage of the trebuchet is that it is not convenient to carry, inconvenient to load and unload, and the rate of fire of the trebuchet is obviously much slower than the rate of fire of the artillery.

With the personal blessing of the lake **** prophet and even the lake **** witch, the trebuchet strengthened by the gods can throw three times the stones and additional magic damage, which proves the super power of the trebuchet.

However, most knights still generally show contempt for these machines, and several dukes completely refused to use them. Nevertheless, owning a trebuchet is still a symbol of wealth and status. The manufacture of a trebuchet requires a long time and hand-made by craftsmen. There are only a limited number of craftsmen in Bretania who can make this powerful war machine, and the lord They all urgently need them to serve themselves. Although the knights will not operate this kind of war machine by themselves, they can still barely understand the strategic value of the trebuchet. The serfs will be ordered by the lord to operate this precious. The war machine, because the serfs could not win the honor, nor could they understand the meaning of fighting for the ladies.

The craftsmen who can make trebuchets in the kingdom are all in Lyonasse or Montvert. Given the bad relationship between Ryan and these two dukes, it is basically impossible to seconde craftsmen to make trebuchets.

The time came to the summer season, and Ryan took his knight Olivier, Hex, and butler Katzenberg to check the latest results in the dwarf man-made workshop on the Chinon River.

"My baron, since the dwarves don’t want to share their skills, why can you persuade them to make artillery for you?" The butler Katzenberg’s big bald head reflected bright light in the sun. The baron’s butler always passed by Shave your head once every ten days.

"I can't let the dwarves share artillery technology with us, but we can hire dwarves." Ryan walked toward the inside of the workshop with his hands behind his back: "I reached an agreement with Mr. Deron, and he made artillery for us. We hired dwarf engineers to operate the artillery."

"Dwarf mercenaries?" Olivier was very interested in this. As the young knight introduced by the Grand Duke of Marienburg Schultz, it didn't seem to be a problem to fight side by side with dwarves. In the empire, mercenaries were also commonplace.

Hex, who has a serious character, seems to be a bit suspicious. After these few battles, the ranger knight's temperament has become more and more stable. He is responsible for most of the training soldiers in the territory. The Baronian now has about fifty sergeants and three. With more than a hundred infantrymen, Hecks has trained them to have a certain combat effectiveness.

Neither Ryan’s training method nor Anglang’s training method was suitable for training these serf soldiers, because the situation was different, and that intensity of training was too difficult for serfs who could not guarantee food supply and adequate nutrition.

"My baron, there is no tradition of hiring dwarves in Brittany. We only hired mercenaries from the empire. Moreover, with the king's permission, do you need to directly hire dwarves like this?" Hex said hesitantly. .

"I have already prayed to the lady, and she agreed to this request." Ryan didn't care, he announced his decision directly: "The dwarf brothers are our friends, and we will fight together."

Neither Olivier, Katzenberg, or Hucks had any more opinions.

If a 26-year-old baron said this, the knights might sneer, and they would not believe it at all, thinking that the baron was lying, a complete lie.

But Ryan was different. When he said this, the knights and even their sergeants were convinced that their lord had done too many miracles, and the lady in the lake showed him the gods one after another. Trace, he is the lady's champion of choice, and the knight that the fairy in the lake most favors. Since Ryan said that the fairy in the lake agrees, then the fairy in the lake must have agreed.

The knights can’t help but feel a little excited when thinking of having giant cannons with dwarves to assist in the attack. The knights of Breton were originally known as the number one knight in the old world, if they could have the help of artillery.

By the time the dwarf man-made workshop, a whole team of dwarf mercenaries was already waiting. The leading dwarf wore a round helmet with a long beard covering half of his stomach, and two large longs on his back. Tong Huo Chong, with a long piece of white bread in his mouth, was far away, and everyone could smell a thick black powder from his body.

"Hello, long bearded man." After recognizing the length of the dwarf's beard and the gold and silver jewelry on the beard, Ryan said in a respectful tone: "Welcome to my territory. I am the baron here. , The Holy Grail Knight Ryan Macado."

"I've heard your name, Baron, the champion of the women in the lake, killed a bunch of greenskins, and champions of chaos." The dwarf widened his eyes, and he raised his head and folded his arms: " Deron told me that you can bring work to my brothers and sisters, as well as income, and endless ale, so I brought my brothers and sisters here, my name is Dugan Tieman, it's nice to meet you."

"Yeah, my baron, when you said that you need to hire a team of dwarf mercenaries, I immediately thought of my good friend Dugan. He is an excellent fighter and also an engineering expert." Walked out of the workshop: "He knows how to make the artillery you want. He can make heavy cannons and organ cannons as long as the price is right."

"Very well, how many people do you have in total?" Ryan nodded repeatedly, and he asked Dugan.

"Almost more than one hundred, more than sixty of them are excellent fighters and workers." Dugan raised his head: "We have been wandering in the mountains for too long. Maybe Deron is right. It's time to come out and look for someone. It’s a job, we can’t let our children go hungry."

"I am willing to accept you and your people, but I hope that in my territory you will abide by the rules, and the unfinished ale will be exchanged for your labor and work." Lane stretched toward the dwarf Shot.

"A fair decision. We never take advantage of the human brothers. I believe that you, as the knight of the Holy Grail, will not treat us badly." Dugan agreed. If there is any war, the dwarves will never escape!"

"Then Katzenberg, I'll leave you with the specific arrangements for these dwarf communities." Ryan said to his butler: "Remember, keep them away from the pointed ears. I don't want to watch the battle of the long beards. Performed for the second time in my territory."

"Okay, my Baron, I will arrange a safe place for them. Actually, Baron, your territory seems to have been blessed by a lady. Since coming to Jeanne, I have never received it again. I've been troubled by green leather and beasts." Katzenberg nodded repeatedly. He was wearing a pair of round-frame sunglasses. This is a masterpiece of a short craftsman. It was made by Deron using some iron scraps and glass. It was unexpectedly Extremely popular, with endless orders.

"Hehe, you should really be blessed by the lady." Ryan smiled disapprovingly.

In the face of the Greenskins and the Beastmen, Anglang and the Forbidden Army were both killed. Only those fugitives who could not survive were turned into robbers. For the sake of all humans, Anglong and the Forbidden Army turned a blind eye. Close one eye.

Lopus and Olivier are mainly doing this. The two knights often bring their troops to destroy nearby robber dens. One is training soldiers, and the other is also earning some extra money. They have entered when they are farthest. Other duchy collars.

Dugan didn't understand what Ryan and the others were discussing. The dwarf was not good at human language. He said to Deron, "Is this human really credible?"

"Don't worry, I have done it for him for several months. This human being is indeed credible, and very powerful, and he is still a younger brother." Deron touched his beard with satisfaction: "He has everything here, and he is very good. Many nobles in this country are different. He will not point fingers at our behavior and is willing to give us full power. The tax collected is much lower than other territories. Let me say, this is a good place, I will stay here. ."

"Is only a brother so powerful?" Dugan was surprised, he looked at Deron's shiny beard with envy.

For dwarves, the beard is a symbol of status, age and status. The beard needs to be combed and washed frequently to be beautiful. Deron's beard is so beautiful that Dugan is envious.

"Yeah, if you have met his brother, you will know how strong his brother is. Moreover, he seems to know some unknown secrets. Look at this." Deron took out the rune that Ryan gave him. Wen: "I rummaged through all the ancient books and found no record of this kind of rune. I have written to the chief rune lord of the dwarves, Clark Severe, who is located on the Peak of Eternal. Origin, perhaps, this will be the most significant discovery of the dwarf in hundreds of years."

"What a mysterious lord." Dugan nodded: "Okay, let's settle down first. After so many wars and wanderings, it's time for the tribe to have a home."

Just when the knight and the dwarf reached an agreement that the dwarf would make a home here, a group of wood elves appeared.

The wood elves headed by are the woodland lord Dai Linna that Lion has met: "Hello, Lord Lion, you are finally back, we have been waiting for you for a long time."

"What can the friends in the forest want me for?"
