Chapter 2295 Weapons Depot
It has been raining in Bell Mountain City for the past two days, and the flooding caused water to flow on the streets. Fried's men rested for two days inside and outside the mountain city. Because they did not suffer major damage, the fortress Fortifications have been gradually restored. The remnants of Saint Vicoia trapped in the complicated urban passages under the Tianji Dark Tower have not yet been completely eliminated. Fried is not in a hurry. These people have no other choice but to surrender and die.
The plague began to spread in the villages surrounding Bell Mountain City, and the furthest cases were reported to be in a city two hundred kilometers away. Freed collected information from all aspects, including new military information in the south and the disasters caused by previous disasters in the land of Saint Vicoia. While he sent people to collect and purchase designated herbs and medicines, he also counted the accounts and inventory of Bell Mountain City. The mountain city's underground grain store contains a large amount of dry and storable grain, which was enough for the original defenders to last more than ten years. Even now, it is enough for him to last one to two years without any logistics.
The pharmaceutical factory in the city can produce a variety of wound medicines, and there are a lot of raw materials for medicines left. The medicines he asked to collect in batches were not only needed to treat injuries in the future, but also prescriptions for treating several diseases. , with the plague and antidote, he can gradually expand his control over this area. When nearly half of St. Picea is affected by the plague, his medicine will become the savior of everyone in St. Picea.
But before that, he still has to deal with several possible battles in the future. The rapid march of the troops failed to gain a firm foothold on the road they passed, and only the solid fortress defense of Bell Mountain City could stand. In other words, his Songun troops are still surrounded by enemy forces.
There are two strategies for the next step. One is to attack north to open the passage to the border of the Holy Demon and meet with the Gripen army that marched south after occupying Anmosi capital at the border to form a reliable united front; the other is , attacked westward again, and completely opened the supply route to the western desert.
While completing these two strategies, the Holy and Demonic two countries will inevitably reach a peace treaty, and do not even rule out the possibility of forming a coalition to launch a counterattack. This is when the Lord of Sand and the Ultimate Weapon simultaneously demonstrate their magical power. , when to give a devastating blow to the armies of the two countries! Of course, specific tactical details must be arranged as the battlefield situation changes. To achieve the third step of the strategy, in addition to the actions of the two countries as expected, it is more important that the Lord of Sand can arrive in time. Otherwise, the ultimate weapon alone will not be enough to threaten Photographed two countries.
Once the strategic intention is completed, a large triangular situation between the two places and the border will be formed. As long as they are properly controlled, Anmosiddu and Bell Mountain City will become two important fulcrums of the Creation Army, which can be safely backed by the desert and the The Gripen Empire can command the capital of St. Vicoa in the south, encroach on the territory of Demon Moon in the north, and engulf the western region of the Warcraft Forest and the small countries on the border between the two countries one by one.
After reviewing the overall strategic plan, Fried asked the Faradin Northern Gripen Army to contact the progress of the battle and report on the situation on his side. Of course, the above steps are only ideal situations, and war is never ideal, so he needs to polish more tactical details. Fried was very familiar with the folk customs in the northern part of Saint Vicoia. Coupled with the natural disasters and the unstable political situation in the center of Saint Vicoia, these were all areas that could be exploited. No country is monolithic. Where there are differences in interests, there is the possibility of differentiation. What he has to consider is where to break through.
He also assigned some tasks to his subordinates to handle, especially for those generals of the San Picaya army who were captured or surrendered. He had to make specific arrangements. Among these people, even if some of them surrendered, they did not surrender sincerely, and they were even less likely to rebel against Saint Biko immediately. Including what to do with the troops under their command, whether to retain or release them, or something else, they all had to be considered.
He hadn't figured out the best way to deal with it yet, so he asked someone to give the surrendered officers a batch of medicine to treat and prevent the plague. Some of these medicines were brought with the army, and more were produced during the battle after entering the territory of Saint Bikoya. Putting down these medicines could temporarily calm the uneasy hearts of Saint Bikoya.
Coming out of the room, breathing in the humid air was refreshing. Fried leaned on the guardrail and looked at the tense and busy scene in the city, which was full of depression and about to explode. This situation is unavoidable. He did not completely restrict the actions of all Saint Biko's troops. Some troops must have taken the initiative to surrender. But the generals surrendering does not mean that the soldiers and officers are convinced, and resentment will arise from this.
Suddenly there were some conflicts on the street. The West Coast troops and some defected bandits were arguing with the soldiers of Santa Vicoia. There was a fierce quarrel between the two sides, and someone was already taking action, but the nearby officers seemed unable to stop it. Freed jumped off the tall building and rushed over there.
"Get out of the way and open the door at the back. Why don't we let us take the things inside?" The soldiers on the west coast raised their knives high and waved them with great arrogance.
The Santa Bikoya officer guarding the door was very angry: "The street behind this is full of important armories. No one can open it without orders from superiors!"
"What kind of bullshit orders are there from your superiors? You guys from San Vicoia still think you are the boss? You are now prisoners and surrendered soldiers. Obediently get out of the way and open the warehouse at the back, or I will kill you!" the West Coast soldier shouted! As they stood, the bandits laughed and laughed, and the two sides were about to start fighting again. It wasn't until they discovered that Fried was watching them gloomily that they all stepped aside in fear.
Fried held the Boiling Demon's Iron in his hand and glanced coldly at the people present: "Who said you wanted to kill people just now?"
The person who said this was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. Hidden in the crowd and quietly retreated.
Fried had already taken a fancy to him. He walked over in two steps and cut him in half with a sword. He was so frightened that the other West Coast soldiers fell to the ground, not even daring to breathe.
“Anyone who wants to provoke conflicts in the army will be killed. I will never care if he is a soldier or a general. Do you hear me??”
The last sentence was shouted loudly, making everyone nod in agreement.
Fried asked again: "What are you quarreling about?"
The officer of Santa Vicoia said: "They want to open an armory, but there are several warehouses in the back. They are all... very sophisticated weapons and equipment, usually awarded to troops and officers who have made great achievements in battle." "I know," Fried waved, "Get out of the way and take the key. , let them go in and pick. They came here with me and have already made great achievements. It’s up to them to choose what they want.” From then on, the West Coast soldiers were overjoyed. After finding someone to drag away the bodies on the ground, they immediately took the key to open the first warehouse door and ran to the street behind.
Fried stopped a few people and said: "You go and notify the armies and ask them to come here to change their uniforms according to their unit numbers. The technology of the ordnance factories and refineries on the west coast is still a bit behind."
The people of the royal power Although the West Coast arsenal has been improved The level of forging weapons and armor is limited by many conditions, and the quality of the forged weapons fluctuates. This is due to the fact that the skills of the forging workers have not been improved and stabilized, and also due to the difference in the quality of the raw materials produced by refineries and alchemists. .
Fried then said to Officer San Vicoia: "Take me to see several arsenals where important equipment is stored."
We came to several rooms in a row that were obviously more solid and reliable. In the warehouse, the seal and lock on the door are still open. Pushing open a few of them, bright spears were piled in bundles against the wall. Swords of uniform specifications in the boxes were stacked in layers. Weapons and protective equipment were stored separately, including exquisite magic robes, which were neatly stacked together. They were of high quality. The magic power booster (a small magic square box that can be worn around the waist or on the wrist. Some magicians who do not have enough magic power and want to cast magic beyond their current abilities can use this small square box to enhance their magic power to complete the task. The cast of magic) also fills the shelves.
“Isn’t this just the same standard weapons and armor as other warehouses? It’s nothing special.” Some officers and soldiers from the West Coast Army who came over blocked the door, talking to each other about the warehouse. Pointing at the things inside.
Fried casually picked up a long sword and took a look: "The Saint-Southern Knight's long sword is a new century model. The handle is dark and the sword is slender. It feels good to get it."
Second place in Saint Piccolo. The officer respectfully replied: "This is the weapon that was redesigned and finalized by the Ordnance Bureau when His Majesty was still the Prime Minister. , only slightly different in appearance from the previous two types, it is the standard sword for cavalry and light cavalry.”
“I know this.”
“This one is made of. The long swords of the Southern Territory knights in the warehouse are all of the same standard. They seem to be made of ferroiron alloy and cold tempered Forged by craftsmanship, they look like mass-produced standard weapons, but are actually forged individually. The quality is close to the level of primary treasures. There are still some registered in the warehouse..." The officer flipped through the warehouse book: "...23 weapons are left. But the models are not all new century models. There are also higher-standard Hengtie forgings. The two Southern Territory Knight long swords are in another warehouse. They are spare weapons for mid-level and senior officers and generals. "
Whether it is fighting or training, the weapons will be worn out, and officers will wear them out on the battlefield. If a weapon is lost or damaged due to various reasons, it must be replaced by a suitable one. However, only a big country like Saint Vicoia can prepare a batch of treasure-level standard weapons for officers to use as backup.
Fried waved his hand: "Keep this place under guard, and then distribute all the weapons as needed." He called a West Coast lieutenant and said: "Inform the officers of each army and ask them to come here to receive weapons in order of their previous military merits and ranks. .I remember you, you were a soldier under Calasias, soon A former lieutenant who was promoted to the rank of second lieutenant. He said that you fought bravely and you can also come here to receive a set of weapons and armor. An excellent soldier like you should make greater contributions on the battlefield."
The lieutenant was overjoyed, said a word of gratitude, and immediately went to deliver the order. All other West Coast sergeants are envious.
Fried then picked up a heavy sword: "Well, this sword is not bad."
The officer next to him said: "Sir, this is not the standard sword kept in the warehouse. But...but it is intended to be used to reward military merit. The treasure has a name, it's called 'Final Rain'."
Fried ignored it: "General Calasias's demon-destroying knife was seriously damaged and couldn't be repaired for a while. Here he comes. Give him this sword.”
Seeing that Sha Jiao and the other two were also outside the door, Fried waved and said, "You guys should also come in and find something you want."
Sha Jiao originally disdained these standard weapons, but after seeing them, he still When there was a treasure like 'Final Rain', I couldn't help but feel excited, so I walked into the warehouse with the gladiator and the mummy.
