Chapter 53 A Mere Steel Kingdom Cannot Hold Me
After loudly declaring war, Xiao Yu focused his energy on his first weapon that was really handy.
This is a long-handled weapon made with reference to Fang Tianhuaji, the weapon of the God of War Lu Bu in the Three Kingdoms Warriors game.
Xiao Yu originally wanted to refer to Changshan Zhao Zilong's gentian gun, but after thinking about the legend of the lucky gunman since ancient times, he gave up this immature idea.
The formed weapon is 215 cm long, and the moon blade at the widest point is about 28 cm. The head is forged with steel alloy and craftsman's secret method, and the handle is made of aluminum alloy to reduce weight.
As far as the full-painted halberd is concerned, both the body shape and the total weight are much lighter and smaller than Fang Tian's painted halberd that the textual research party believes.
But Xiao Yu was already quite satisfied, he was not the god of war among Lu Bu and Chitu among those people, so the weapons should go hand in hand.
Xiao Yu named this pseudo-Fang Tian's painted halberd the Thunder's painted halberd!
It means that this painted halberd has the power of thunder!
Relying on the high-quality electric shocker parts and three small batteries provided by Fengwu Jiuzhongtian God, and by letting the craftsmen lay wires in the inner tube and other mechanism means, once Xiao Yu presses the mechanism when he wields the thunder halberd, he can draw the halberd on the moon. A strong current is generated at the blade and the tip of the gun.
According to the electric shock data provided by Fengwu Jiuchongtian Great God, this kind of current intensity exceeds many self-defense devices, and it is enough to knock down a grown man with one blow.
To deal with the creatures of Lilliputian, Xiao Yu believed that such electric current would not be inferior to those wizards who specialize in lightning.
Through previous combat experience, it can be found that against those dark-type witchcraft, there is not much more effective than this kind of lightning power.
After Xiao Yu got the Thunder Halberd, he immediately ran to the depths of the uninhabited mine, and learned combat skills with the help of several weapon masters invited by the Inotia wizard apprentice.
Most of these weapon masters are talented, but they are fighters of commoner origin. After growing up through battles, they were unable to be promoted to knights due to various physical sequelae.
The bottleneck in strength forced them to put their minds on the grinding of skills, thus becoming the recognized weapon masters of the fighters, and qualified to open a training ground to train fighters' combat skills.
The army led by Xiao Yu occupied Rongtie Fortress. I don't know anything else, at least the weapon masters in the fort were used by Xiao Yu.
Under the guidance of these weapon masters, Xiao Yu gradually knew how to use the thundering halberd, how to use his body, and how to make moves so as not to hurt himself.
This practice continued until the day the army was drawn out, perhaps because the spiritual enlightenment potion improved Xiao Yu's learning ability? Xiao Yu's training went very smoothly, although he still couldn't master any advanced force-exerting skills.
However, the basic usage of Thunder's Halberd is already clear in his mind, and he can send it out naturally and smoothly at any time.
"The army moves out!"
At the main gate of the camp, Anrik, the king of Steel City, rode a steed, personally sat at the gate, drew out his sword, and commanded the whole army.
After a while of echoes, the legionnaires who had already lined up in the phalanx held their flags, held their weapons tightly, and walked in unison, pulling out of the camp in a long snake formation.
The sound of tens of thousands of people stepping in unison resounded through the sky, and the momentum of thousands of spears advancing side by side was like moving a forest of spears.
The cavalry under General Babu also turned into real iron cavalry. With the support of sufficient funds, the horses were replaced with stronger heavy war horses, and all of them were covered with iron armor.
As soon as they moved, they immediately overwhelmed the momentum from the other troops.
Sitting on the electric tricycle, Xiao Yu tied the Thunder Halberd to the side of the car, looked at the mighty army following him, and felt a heroic spirit brewing in his heart.
"The army that is going out this time has eight thousand spearmen, two thousand crossbowmen, three thousand sword and shield soldiers, and one thousand iron cavalry."
At this moment, the wizard apprentice of Inotia and several extraordinary barbarians rested on Xiao Yu's shoulder. He took the list provided by General Babu and read to Xiao Yu:
"There are also 5,500 newly recruited mercenaries and defected rebels, plus 30,000 barbarian fighters."
"The total army has 49,500 people!"
After finishing speaking, Inotia looked at Xiao Yu.
"Is that almost 50,000?" Xiao Yu said softly, "What about Grand Duke Yanan's army? Is it still an army of 100,000?"
"Yesterday, a secret agent reported that Grand Duke Yanan suddenly imposed martial law on the entire capital, killing suspicious elements who were suspected of tipping off."
Inotia replied: "So we didn't get the latest information. We only know that as of the day before yesterday, Grand Duke Nayanan has gathered an army of no less than 150,000!"
"According to the information, there are only 300,000 people living in Ironforge Castle, the capital of the kingdom." Xiao Yu was slightly startled and said, "Where did so many soldiers come from?"
"As long as there is money, there are a lot of poor mercenaries in our area who are willing to sacrifice their lives." The wizard apprentice of Inotia said with a wry smile:
"Your Highness, you don't know that there are many villages and cottages in the mountains around the kingdom."
"These places are poor and rough. Since ancient times, mercenaries have been the way out. Often a village is a mercenary regiment, and all adult men are members of the regiment."
"With Grand Duke Yanan's financial resources and contacts, if there is enough time, it will not be difficult to bring tens of thousands of soldiers over."
Speaking of this, Inotia also lamented secretly that the failure of Anrik, the king of the steel capital, was really justifiable. Their royal family has long since had a huge gap with the family of Grand Duke Yanan. support.
If this life is not overthrown, the next life will be emptied of the last bit of royal power.
The only thing people didn't expect was the change brought about by the giant's intervention.
Thinking of this, the apprentice wizard of Inotia continued: "It is worth noting that the information mentioned that the dark elves of the underground race appeared on the streets of the king's capital. The rumors have obviously been confirmed to be true."
"We must beware of Grand Duke Yanan's special reinforcements. In addition, a certain noble family deliberately released news to us."
"Release on purpose? Hmph, these aristocratic families!" Hearing this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but sneer.
"what news?"
"Grand Duke Yanan has contacted neighboring countries, and it is very likely that some kind of agreement will be reached."
"That is to say, there will be officials from other countries intervening in this war?"
Xiao Yu rode his electric bike proudly and said: "What are you afraid of? If they really dare to intervene, wouldn't they just give us an excuse to invade them?"
"Invading...another country?" Although the wizard apprentice of Inotia had already felt it, he still felt very shocked when he really heard Xiao Yu's undisguised words.
Since the founding of the Kingdom of Steel City, it has been on the defensive for hundreds of years. Fighting out... has only existed in the dream of every passionate man.
Unexpectedly, this protector of the kingdom had already wanted to fight out and invade other countries in the morning!
"Are you surprised?" Xiao Yu patted his Thundering Halberd.
"Didn't I already say that?"
Xiao Yu looked into the distance, smiled faintly and said, "When I met your king, I told you..."
"A mere Steel Capital Kingdom can't accommodate me!"
"It's not in my eyes either!"
