My Empire War Game

"Jean, don't have psychological pressure. In all fairness, are these jewels exquisite?" Suren picked up a piece of jewellery and said to Jean.

"Yes, these jewelry are the most exquisite jewelry I have ever seen." Gene nodded said.

"That's not it. We need to give him a reasonable value for this exquisite jewelry." Suren Shrugged said.

"As for the jewelry made by real elves, how many people have seen it now?" Suren picked up the pair of bracelets shaped as undying bird and said, "Since few people have seen it, you are still worried What?"

"When the time comes, you just say that it was discovered from the ruins, and then give a little guidance. With the exquisiteness of these jewellery, those people will naturally believe it."

Why does Suren have to pull these jewels on the elves? Quite simply, because of the price, in the human kingdom, the nobles are very fond of the things left by the elves, so as long as the price of things related to the elves is at least several times higher.

The second wife of his cheap daddy brought a necklace from her natal family, which is said to be from the hands of the elves. It is said that this was prepared for her by her father, Marquis Osborne. Wedding Gifts. Suren had seen it several times at the time. To be honest, the necklace was indeed exquisitely crafted, but it was almost the same as the jewellery in his hands.

This is also the reason why he dared to pretend to be the jewelry made by elves. The elves have returned to the forest of elves for hundreds of thousands of years, and there can be a few more jewelry made by elves, so Suren is not worried about this. Was demolished.

Jean really deserves to be a business-minded guy. After Suren reminded him, he immediately prepared a set of rhetoric, and then he made up a story after Suren’s differences were filled.

Originally, the price of these exquisitely crafted jewellery was more than 1,000 golden dinar, but now with the blessing of the elf background, it can be sold for at least 5,000 golden dinar.

Five thousand golden dinar, all purchased into grain, enough to support his territory through the cold winter.

After discussing with Gene, Suren asked him to go back and prepare. The caravan set out in the past few days. This time, the caravan’s guard Suren is going to let the new Barbarian go halfway. , Johnson also brought half of the people over, in order to let these new Barbarians grow up as soon as possible after several battles.

With veterans like Johnson, Suren doesn’t have to worry about the loss of those new Barbarians. The goblins, kobolds, and gnolls encountered along the way almost upgraded after a few rounds.

After handling the matter, Suren began to deal with another crisis facing the territory.

Frostwing dragon-like situation will not attack humans, because compared to the prey on the wasteland, such as bison, giant horned deer, and goral, the risk of attacking humans is higher, so for the time being, he is still safe here. , But after the winter, animal activities in the wasteland are scarce, and the Frost Winged Dragon is likely to attack humans when there are not enough prey.

Suren cannot pin the security of the territory on whether the Frost Winged Dragon will attack, so the best way is to make a ballista.

Before, Suren had already made a ballista. He was very familiar with the structure of the ballista. More importantly, he later gained mechanical control and gained a lot of mechanical knowledge. The ballista has some improved methods.

This World also has a crossbow with different names such as bed crossbow and giant crossbow. They are actually one kind of thing. The structure of the crossbow is complicated and the operation is also very inconvenient. Eight to ten people can complete the operation.

The maximum range of the ballista can reach kilometers, but this distance actually has no formidable power, let alone the accuracy. In fact, the effective range of the ballista is four hundred to six. Between a hundred. Of course, accuracy is difficult to guarantee.

This kind of ballista has strong formidable power. It uses a two-meter-long javelin as a weapon. It can be shot into a rammed-earth city wall within 400 meters. Even a masonry city wall can be more than a foot deep, even if it is The ice Winged Dragon can't be pleased by this kind of ballista. It's just that although this weapon has strong formidable power, it has many shortcomings.

First of all, the winding speed is slow, and several tall and strong robust men are required to work together when winding. Second, the accuracy is low. Basically, after more than two hundred meters, the crossbow arrow has no accuracy. Thirdly, it is difficult to carry, and the ballista is heavy. Generally, it is fixed on the city wall.

Fourth, maintenance is difficult. The bowstrings used by ballistas are specially made, preferably some high-end demonic beast ribs, but this type of ribs is too few and expensive, so most crossbows The car uses specially processed beef tendon. The number and the tendon are wound into one, and silk steel wire is added to the mixed winding. The bowstring made in this way uses short lifespan. Basically, the bowstring needs to be replaced after six or seven times.

There are also some other shortcomings. After Suren's transformation, although these shortcomings have not been solved, a lot of improvements have been made. One of the most obvious is that the winding speed has been accelerated, and the pulley block and lever mechanism are used in this part of the winding. The operation of the ballista is also much easier.

At the same time, the ballista uses steel essence as its parts, and maintenance becomes simpler, and the use of lifespan has also increased. Of course, not all of them are benefits. As a result, the weight of the ballista has increased again.

Suren divides the design of the ballista into various parts, and then asks the blacksmith to make them according to the blueprint. Finally, he personally assembles all the parts. In this way, the craftsmanship of the ballista is still only He knew it alone. The bowstring of the ballista uses the main rib of the Stormrage Devil Tiger.

A total of 16 bowstrings were made after the main ribs of more than 20 meters long were specially processed. This time Suren is preparing to make eight ballistas, of which eight bowstrings are installed directly, and the rest are reserved. spare.

Eight ballistas were placed on all sides of the town. Suren purposely built eight high platforms in the city to install these ballistas. With these eight ballistas in front of the Winged Dragon When you come to attack, you have to weigh it carefully.

The construction of the territory is still proceeding in an orderly manner. The first batch of iron ore mined in the mine was also transported to the port by water. Although the speed of the boat is very slow and the boatman needs to paddle at the same time, even In this way, it is much faster than land transportation.

Suren knows exactly what the road in the wilderness is like. In comparison, the ore transported by a ship at one time is more than ten times that of the carriage.

After the ship docked, the goblin slave, who had been waiting here for a long time, began to load and unload the ore, and then the ore would be sent to the blast furnace of the smithy. At most the day after tomorrow, the first batch of ironware produced by the iron ore mine will be released.
