Extraordinary Sailing

The bright white moon hangs high in the night sky.

In the west of Georgia, on the Cumberland line of defense, outside a standard sentry tower with 100 men garrisoned and complete supporting facilities.

"Roar!"

A low roar came from the throat, and a bright silver agile figure suddenly flashed in the primeval mountain forest, but was discovered immediately by the soldiers on duty who had already reversed their work and rest routine.

While the searchlight locked on it, the arakkoa commander as the chief officer waved his hand violently:

"Fire!"

boom! boom! boom! boom!

The soldier wearing a leather windbreaker and enchanted goggles raised his musket, which had already been fired, the orange-red flames of the guns flashed, and the lead bullets carrying a faint white light blocked the space for the figure to dodge like a storm.

One bullet grazed the figure in the hind legs, another in the back.

The enemy, who was so fast that there was only an afterimage, finally appeared in the eyes of ordinary soldiers. This is a silver-colored leopard-like nature spirit with feathers on its slender limbs.

It's just that the front half of its body is plump and graceful, and there are even a pair of small wings on the shoulder blades, but the back half of its body is scrawny, like a defective product that hasn't fully developed. In the eyes of the soldiers, there was a different ferocious gesture.

at present.

With the benefit of the spiritual source overflowing from the New World, even ghosts that are as thin as paper and die at will should not be underestimated. Just like the former "headless ghost" Aida, they also have the ability to kill directly.

As for this silver cheetah, it already has the extraordinary essence of the wraith level. If it is lucky enough to be enshrined by the Atrians, it is very likely to gradually transform into a new totem god.

"The transcendent stepped forward to meet the enemy, the grenadiers prepared, and the musketeers reloaded."

Following the order of the arakkoa commander, the two werewolves jumped up from the formation, swung their scimitars with a layer of golden sword oil in their hands, and rushed towards the silver cheetah whose speed had dropped suddenly.

At the same time, a group of grenadiers in the rear had already ignited the ball with the fuze in their hands.

According to the habit of the arakkoa army, the best choice at this time is to use the atomized holy water that is most specific to "ghosts".

However, the group of believers in the New World is relatively thin, and the holy water that the Black Iron Cross Church can produce is not rich. In this war, the treasured holy water was used more as a medical remedy against evil spirits than as a weapon.

Fortunately, they also have a substitute with the same effect - [Holy Salt Bomb]. The raw material is not the salt used in many church ceremonies, but a red sulfate crystal prepared by witchcraft.

"bomb!"

bang bang bang.

The [Holy Salt Bomb] that exploded in mid-air splashed a small rain of red crystals, filling the entire space. The two werewolves were normal, but the silver cheetah seemed to be bathed in sulfuric acid rain, emitting green smoke from its body and howling miserably.

"Aw—!"

However, this spirit monster with only bloodthirsty instincts, instead of retreating, launched a desperate counterattack towards the werewolf closest to him, and his spirit became brighter than ever.

It seemed that the head soaked in sulfuric acid was as ugly as a ghost, and the sharp beast teeth gleamed with a cold light, which hurt the werewolf's eyes.

Facing the beast's mouth that was close at hand, the werewolf did not dodge but stepped forward. The "wild aura" in his body suddenly exploded, and he pulled out the dagger with a light red blade at his waist with his backhand, and stabbed hard into the core of the silver leopard's natural spirit.

Bang——

Like the last straw that broke the camel's back, the silver cheetah exploded into light particles that filled the sky and slowly disappeared.

The [Gladiator Amulet] hanging on the werewolf suddenly lit up, and the trickle of spiritual feedback made him feel refreshed from the bottom of his heart to the tips of his hair like drinking a bowl of cold water in June.

"ha!"

Many combatants have gained more or less, which has become a recent norm.

"It's just a small character without any special abilities, don't relax, pay attention to vigilance!"

Through experiments, the maximum interval for the effectiveness of sentry towers is about ten kilometers.

Today, a total of 36 defensive outposts have been established on the 350-kilometer-long Cumberland Defense Line, and the total garrison strength has reached 3,600. Because of the powerful reinforcements of Yuanfan Ling, the soldiers can be rotated once a month.

What happened here is just a microcosm of the entire "Abayachi Line of Defense".

Two months have passed since the first spiritual wave erupted today.

The large-scale attack like the first time never happened again, but sporadic small groups of spirit monsters continued to attack the defense line of the kingdom colony. Although there were occasional misses in the middle, it was much better than the beginning.

In this kind of low-intensity battle, the trained fighters can deal with ordinary natural spirits without any special abilities with ease.

During this period, the tactics gradually improved. What kind of tactics, countermeasures, and weapons were used by different types of enemies?

Therefore, in addition to the enhancement of personal combat ability due to [Ifrit's Sacrifice], the accumulation of knowledge, combat skills, including morale have also been improving.

Fighting heroes, model soldiers, advanced collectives, and various titles are also selected once a month before the defense change. Along with the honor comes generous material rewards and the authority to customize weapons.

Under the comprehensive effect of various policies, there is no serious fear of war, and the overall combat situation is improving.

Of course, the premise is that there are no accidents.

Also located in the steel city of the Cumberland Mountains.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the huge workshop of mixed steel and wood, white water vapor lingered, the steam forging hammer continued to roar, and various weapons in the hands of the craftsmen were quickly formed.

The application of a variety of steam machinery here has greatly improved the efficiency of sword forging and various weapon manufacturing.

With sufficient order supply, the arsenal that Ivan expected to be the last to develop has come from behind, and together with Steel City, it has become the most profitable industry in Georgia.

Standing in this outlet where pigs can be blown up, they made a lot of war fortune.

Even relying on the workers trained by this batch of orders, and a series of supporting facilities hard-earned by alchemy apprentices, Aiwen has already begun to use steam drilling machines to secretly trial-produce ship-borne artillery!

Although things like artillery are not very useful in the war against the "spiritual tide". However, heavy guns weighing more than 24 pounds that can be mounted on battleships will profoundly determine the future status of the Georgian Territory.

Of course, it is just the beginning for the time being, and the main products in the arsenal are still to deal with the "spiritual tide".

On the front line, the change of clothes has almost been completed in two months.

Taking cost and manufacturing difficulty into consideration, lead bullets soaked in positive energy, low-level sword oil, and holy salt bombs are the three main products, and they are also consumable materials that consume at an astonishing speed.

in addition.

"Bright Starry Night" possesses priesthoods such as mystery, stars, the gate of the spirit world, prophecy, etc. It is one of the most mysterious true gods, and has all kinds of mysterious and unpredictable knowledge and power.

It can be said that the "Starry Night Sect" is one of the forces in the material world that is best at dealing with spiritual monsters.

Aiwen once bought a "Runed Silver Dagger · Demon Breaker" from the "Starry Night Order", which claims to be able to repel evil spirits and even harm some kind of "concept" that constitutes their core.

Experience their power firsthand.

So he picked out the practical parts from the mysterious knowledge that Ali attached to it, and after targeted transformation, he applied it to this large-scale arms production and replaced his original design plan.

The dagger with the light red edge used by the werewolf at the end is the most typical one.

This is not some kind of enchanting effect, but comes from a special kind of steel—coral steel.

The distinction between steel and steel is mainly the difference in carbon content, and steelmaking is the process of continuously reducing the carbon content in pig iron.

Wrought iron (wrought iron): C%\u003c0.0218%; steel: C% 0.0218%～2.06%; pig iron: C% 2.06-4.3%.

In this era, there are mainly two methods, "steel making method" and "steel frying method".

To put it bluntly, the "steel-making method" is repeated forging after heating to remove impurities and smelt it into steel. It is also the main method currently used by most national arsenals.

The craftsmen of Phalatis Kingdom have already gone ahead of other countries, and took the lead in inventing the "steel frying method" that can make large-scale steel.

The normal procedure is to smash the pig iron into the furnace, and the wind blows in from above. Due to the small volume of the can-shaped underground furnace, the concentrated heat is not easy to be lost, which is beneficial to increase the temperature.

When the pig iron is heated to a molten or semi-molten state, the contact surface of iron and oxygen is increased by stirring. It can oxidize the carbon in iron, and as the carbon content decreases, the melting point of iron increases, and it begins to solidify gradually.

If you continue to stir in the semi-solid state, and use the oxygen in the air to oxidize the contained carbon again, you can become low-carbon wrought iron; you can also control the required carbon content and stop frying when it is not completely decarburized. process, it can become medium carbon steel or high carbon steel.

When it came to Aiwen, he chose to fry it directly into mature iron, and then add carburizing agent.

Normal carburizing agents generally use charcoal or pulverized coal, but Aiwen has improved this step and replaced it with a kind of [red carburizing agent], which is composed of swamp valley grass, black mage rose, and agave stamens as the main materials. Elixir] potion.

The surface of the finished steel ingot looks no different from ordinary steel, but the edge of the forged weapon is crystallized, and has a very obvious coral-like light red color.

It can also cause powerful damage to spirits without additional enchantments. It is called Coral Steel.

The most important thing is that the cost is low, and it can be produced industrially on a large scale!

wizard tower.

During this period of time, Ivan himself was not idle at all.

He is working with An Qi to quickly digest the knowledge of [Flesh Puppet] through continuous practice.

[Flesh Puppet] is the final result of the second volume, but in the series of witchcraft systems extended from it, [Flesh Altar] is the real core of the front.

After mastering the [Flesh Altar], you can finally make a series of powerful applications such as flesh puppets, flesh bombs, and flesh chariots.

And this kind of witchcraft that integrates multiple abilities, one of the core functions is "violent soldiers"!

The premise is to have sufficient raw materials.

Out of the professional ethics of a "black-hearted" arms dealer, Aiwen launched the "planned scrap" strategy from the very beginning. Although the arms sold to the "Church of Raging Waves" are useful, they will consume speed in the war with sea monsters. Also very fast.

Now, in the payment provided by the "Church of Raging Waves", in addition to gold, silver, and precious witchcraft materials, there is one more thing - a huge sea monster corpse.

There is nothing that can provide Ai Wen with more than enough flesh and blood of extraordinary creatures than sea monsters.

After being digested and absorbed by the flesh and blood altar built with the magic book "Rite of Flesh and Flesh" as the core, it becomes the raw material for reconstructing [Flesh and Flesh Puppet].

So the environment in the wizard's tower is really hard to describe recently.

If the fanatical radical priests of "Eternal Flame" were to choose between the "Activation School" and the "Mechanical Immortal School" at this time to destroy one, it would be hard to say which one to choose.

Of course, for Aiwen, the [Flesh Altar] modified by him has another more critical purpose.

Use the extraordinary flesh and blood of sea monsters to continuously cultivate a trace of "Eidolon bloodline" stripped through [Witchcraft·Bloodline Transplantation].

It is related to his own third-order path, and this is also one of the projects he has personally done.

Why do warlock families lose power as they intermarry with mortals? Why can demonized creatures reproduce stably even though it is more difficult to reproduce? Why can the blood power of demonized creatures continue to increase during the growth process?

The root is still in supernatural qualities.

If an excellent bodybuilder wants to maintain a good physical condition, he also needs a reasonable nutritional mix. In addition to normal food, glutamine, (protein powder) amino acids, creatine, vitamins, and minerals are all indispensable.

Extraordinary nature also needs the same level of "nutrition" for supplementation.

Standing next to the flesh and blood altar, seeing that the original little trace of extraordinary blood has grown to the normal share of two adult "night spirits", Ai Wen smiled softly:

"One of the great powers of science lies in its reproducibility!"

Without the assistance of the [Flesh Altar], even if the number of "Ye Ling" ladies doubled, it might not be enough for his research consumption, but now the dawn of wanton squandering seems to be in sight.
