Chapter 709: Griffin Plague (15)

The dwarf's forging technique can be said to be the best forging technique in the King Continent, and he can be said to be the representative of the forging technique of the entire King Continent, but the dwarf who inherited such an excellent forging technique personally admitted that the forging technique of the dwarf clan could not forge this strange arrow, which made everyone feel a trace of fear while feeling unbelievable, and a trace of fear because common sense was broken, but fortunately, in the next second, the words of the copper whisker made the hearts of everyone present fall down.

"Oh, I don't mean to say that we dwarves can't make this kind of arrowhead, we can still make arrowheads of this shape, mainly because our dwarven craftsmen can't bring out the effects of this kind of arrowhead after they create it."

"Whew." While breathing a sigh of relief, the officers of the Griffin Empire all had a question in their minds, that is, what was the effect of this strange arrow, but then there was no such problem in everyone's hearts, because after taking the short arrow that Hall threw at him, Copperbeard picked it up and said to everyone: "First of all, you should be able to see from the sharpness of these arrows that this arrow is specially used against heavily armored soldiers, and I want to say, This peculiar shape may be more powerful than the armor-piercing arrows of the dragon striking arrows popular in our Central Continent, and the launcher equipped with this arrow is a longbow, and it is currently the best in the longbow, and it is said that the powerful archers of the elven races of each continent want to get a purple-shirted longbow, and the penetration power generated after being shot out can even penetrate the super heavy plate armor created by our dwarven warriors head-on, and I will say again that this is only the first effect of this kind of arrow.

"As for the second effect, in fact, we didn't know that this kind of arrow had this effect until our troops were baptized by the rain of arrows formed by this kind of arrow. Only then did we know what the second effect of this arrow would be - to increase weight. ”

"What's the effect of adding weight, it doesn't seem to be of any use?" An officer of the Griffin Empire couldn't help but ask, and Hall, who was the supreme commander of the Griffin Empire at this time, answered at this time: "Let me explain this, I think everyone present knows that although the heavy cavalry is the most terrifying existence in land warfare, it is the heavy infantry that determines the outcome of the battle, after all, the heavy infantry can play a decisive role in all aspects, unlike the heavy cavalry, which can only fight in the area where the cavalry can deploy a charge formation, And as the vast majority of you who have commanded heavy infantry battles on the battlefield. It should be known that the heavy infantry battle, especially the super-heavy armored infantry with the growth of time, the physical strength consumed by the soldiers is greater than that of the light infantry, and the continuous combat time of the super-heavy soldiers is also the shortest among all combat arms, so do you know what this is for? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Because of the thickness and weight of the armor. After pondering for a while. One of the captains of the Griffin Empire's Dark Blue Heavy Armor Regiment said, "The armor soldiers are actually equipped with the armor they are equipped with, because these thick and sophisticated armors can provide them with strong defensive capabilities. As a result, heavily armored soldiers are often able to counterattack while withstanding heavy fire from enemy soldiers. The weakness of the heavy infantry is also their armor, because the heavy armor makes it inferior to any other class in terms of movement speed, and at the same time, the heavy battleship also makes the heavy infantry consume more physical strength than any other kind of soldier.......... Oh! I see what it means to add weight! So that's the case, it's no wonder that while the sun never sets has the only single weapon in the world that can kill dragons, the Mo Forging Crossbow, it has never given up cultivating these longbow troops, which are extremely expensive to cultivate. ”

"It seems that you also understand the Captain of Abya, in this case, I think everyone here should also understand the so-called weight increase, right? That's right. Heavy infantry has heavy plate armor, and even if the so-called armor-piercing arrows can penetrate the armor, they will not necessarily be able to damage the soldiers who wrap their bodies inside the heavy plate armor, after all, many heavy infantry are now in double armor configurations. In this case, the sun never sets and the party has thought of an extremely vicious method, you can look at the tail of the arrow in my hand. As he spoke, Hall pointed to the barb at the end of the arrow in his hand, which was even sharper than the arrow, and then inserted it into the thickest part of his armor with brute force under the horrified gaze of everyone and continued: "It's okay, let me continue, cough cough, I think everyone should know when they just learned about this thing with their hands, this kind of arrow is generally heavier than ordinary arrows, as for willingness, first of all, these arrows are made of stainless steel, and secondly, These steels must have been compressed through a special process of casting the sun, and you can ask your Excellency Copperbeard what is going on with this, and what I want to say here is that maybe there is nothing wrong with an arrow stuck in your body, but do you think that after so many arrows fall from the sky, there will really be only one arrow left on your body and on your shield? Captain Galen, I think you should explain that, right? ”

Under Hall's gaze, a high-ranking officer of the Griffin Great Empire wearing a silver battle armor that exuded a light red stood up, and this slightly old middle-aged officer, but in fact it was the deputy commander of the Griffin Great Empire's army, Galen, said under the gaze of everyone: "The rain of arrows carried out by the longbow troops is the most terrifying existence I have ever seen in my life, the rain of arrows is like a waterfall in the mountains, rushing fast and will not be cut off by anything, If it weren't for the dwarven forges in super-heavy plate armor, I'm sure the average hoplite wouldn't have been able to move forward in the rain of arrows. ”

"That's right, that's just the way it is." Hall nodded and said: "But under normal circumstances, even if the outer layer of the armor penetrated by the arrow, because the arrow will destroy the surface of the armor around the penetration point, so we can pull out the arrow with a little force, but the arrow used by the longbow guard is different, because this barb that appears at the end of the arrow can ensure that the arrow can be firmly buckled on the surface of the armor after the arrow penetrates the armor, so that as the number of arrows on our warriors increases, Maybe it won't have much effect on our soldiers at the beginning of the battle, but the longer the battle lasts. Then the physical speed consumed by our soldiers will increase exponentially, and obviously, if we think about our current large-scale combat operations, the time consumed will last for half a day even if it is the shortest, which makes the side that the sun does not set as long as there are enough arrows, the longer the battle lasts, the greater the chance of victory will be on the side of the great empire on which the sun does not set. ”

.........Although many of the officers of the Griffin Empire, including the two female officers of the Archery Queen's unit, showed some confused expressions about the effect of increasing the weight, at least everyone present knew one thing, that is, the longer the two sides fought, the more advantage the sun never set. And even if they lose in the early stage of the battle, as long as the side that does not set the sun survives the early stage, then the side of the great empire that does not set in the later stage will also have a great chance of turning around, and this also makes many of the officers of the griffin empire present have a confused look on their faces at the same time, they also have a lot of dignified looks. However, it was not only this that hit everyone present, except for the news that was exposed. The next thing that broke the news was even more Ranran, and everyone present showed a bitter look on their faces.

"Don't think that the sun never sets, the strength of the Great Empire is urgent, only the Longbow Guard. In fact, the horrors of the Empire where the sun never sets are not the only ones, such as the other broken knives I brought with me. At this moment, the dwarven officer of the Great Empire of Divine Light, Bronze Beard, walked to the council round table, and while throwing his heavy steel gauntlet on the table, he grabbed the handle of the katana with two cuts, and suddenly slashed at the heavy gauntlet with the broken katana under the puzzled eyes of everyone. As a result, something unbelievable happenedβ€”under the blow of the destroyed katana, the gauntlet with a thickness of nearly 7 mm was not cut in two with a single sword, but the surface of the gauntlet also revealed a shocking crack.

And at this time. Bronze Beard also threw the broken samurai sword on the council round table, and said in a slightly trembling tone, "Do you know how the wound on my left hand was caused?" It's this katana that made it, isn't it unbelievable that this thing is not the same as what I just showed? But that's the case, and I can tell you very responsibly that the person who slashed me in the first place was not any strange class of troops in the Great Empire, but really the longbow guards of the Great Empire. ”

"At that time, when our soldiers had not yet launched a general attack, because the warships and supplies on the beach were all ignited by the fire set by the sunset fleet, many soldiers in our troops fell into a state of panic, so the breakthrough of the troops of the Great Empire of Divine Light was not a single-line breakthrough, but a scattered breakthrough, and I myself was lost in the chaos, and finally led a part of the soldiers towards a route that should be regarded as a meeting with our vanguard forces in the depths of the forest, But what I didn't expect was that when our vanguard troops dragged the troops of the side where the sun never sets, the commander of the side on which the sun never set was so bold as to divide the elite troops under his command into small units and arrange them on the two flanks of our road to attack our soldiers. At that time, we also met a longbow unit that should have collided with our army face to face before entering its designated ambush location, and as for what I am so sure of it, it is the army of the Sunset Longbow Guard, quite simply, all the hundred or so men took up their longbows and threw arrows at us. ”

"At the beginning of the battle, I and the warriors around me were very confident, because we dwarven forges warriors had strong armor that could withstand the baptism of those arrows, but then we realized how wrong our thinking was, because the terrible rain of arrows illuminated by the hundreds of men even suppressed me and my warriors from moving forward for a while, you know, when I observed myself after the battle, I found that I had at least 20 arrows stuck in my body. Of course, that's not the point, the point is that after losing dozens of soldiers with my soldiers, we finally rushed in front of the soldiers with the giant war hammer in our hands, and at that point, we finally thought we were sure, but what happened next proved how ignorant we were in the face of the army on which the sun never sets. ”

Saying this, Bronze Beard couldn't help but sigh before he said: "Just when we were still a few steps away from those members of the Sunset Longbow Guard, those members of the Sunset Longbow Guard suddenly pulled out this strange sword from their waists and launched a counter-charge at us as if they were wielding a great sword, because I and my soldiers, who never thought that a group of long-range infantry would launch a counter-charge against an over-heavy armored soldier like us, were of course frightened by this situation for a short time, And this fright, before my soldiers who rushed to the forefront could react and wave their war hammers at them, these members of the Longbow Guards from the Great Empire of the Sun Never Setting had already slashed those strange swords at our soldiers, and then ......... Then the armor forged by our dwarves was torn open by it in an instant, and those dwarven warriors in the front row fell in an instant, and the most terrifying thing was that I saw with my own eyes that the right arm of a dwarven warrior next to me was cut off by that strange sword, as for me...... I used the handle of my hammer to fend off the blow because of my quick reaction, but because of the long body of this sword, my hand was still slashed by its head.........."

PS: What I want to explain here is that because the samurai bow used by the Xiyi people is even greater than the demand for the purple shirt longbow in terms of pulling demand, and although the Xiyi people are short in stature, their arm strength is good, so in this case, many Xiyi warriors who have experienced 2 to 3 years of archery training have also joined the Sunset Longbow Guard, and even some of the Xiyi Bow Ashigaru who participated in the "Double Star Fall" battle in the Western Continent also abandoned the position of naval sailors and joined the Longbow Guard of the Sunset Empire. So now among the longbow guards of the Great Empire, although 2/3 of them are still the people of the Great Empire, 1/3 of them are Xiyi people, and even the officer class of the Longbow Guards is like this, and among all the legions of the Longbow Guards, there is also an officer from the Changzong family of Xiyi who was originally made by the Great Empire of the Sunset, but who re-emerged under the protection of the monks of Honnoji Temple and was loyal to the Great Empire of the Sunset. It is worth mentioning that he is the patriarch of the contemporary Changzong family. (To be continued......)
