Chapter 593 Skeleton Cannon
"Have new special abilities been produced?" Gavin is not interested in Grace's death journey. He is now more concerned about the Shadow Messenger. This kind of contact usually ends with Demonstrate special abilities.
“Is this what the lord is talking about?” Grace showed her career panel to Gavin neatly.
Her attributes are very similar to Daphne, who did not obtain a special template. Her inner attributes are far beyond ordinary people, but they do not reach extraordinary levels.
Unless you are gifted, there are not many people who can make extraordinary attributes at the extraordinary professional level, especially the three inner attributes. The three physical attributes are easier, especially for barbarians. If you are still extraordinary, If you don't have extraordinary strength or physique, you are not considered a qualified barbarian.
His profession was a decent Necromancer, and his abilities tended towards the Necromantic system. Gavin soon found what he wanted.
Control Shadow (Special Ability) - Your shadow has been converted into a shadow. You can summon it to fight for you. After death, it will disintegrate into a shadow and cannot be used within 24 hours. When summoned, you will suffer true damage equal to the shadow's hit dice points. You cannot be healed until the shadow condenses again. The shadow heals itself after it condenses.
Your shadow has a connection with Vizeme Manor. You can send it back to the manor or recall it.
“That’s it.” Gavin couldn’t help laughing and said, “Esteler, I’ll leave the task of building the Shadow Information Processing Center to you. Do you know what to do?”
"I'm sorry, Lord Lord, I'm too stupid, I have no clue about this matter at all." Astaire said with a guilty look on his face.
She knew the meaning of every word in the Shadow Information Processing Center, but she didn't know what it meant when they were put together.
“I was too hasty.” Gavin said enthusiastically, “This matter is very simple. It is to recruit some real shadows with good brains to form an information recording team, and record every person like Ms. Grace. The identities of such shadows are clearly recorded. After they are sent back, the information they carry is recorded, and then the shadows who need to know the information are summoned back and asked to bring the information to their masters. , this is a complete information transmission.
The key to this matter is the shadow messengers. Let’s resurrect ten shadow messengers first, and I will start training with them.”
< br>This kind of brand-new thing across the ages, let alone Estelle, is completely confused. Even Daphne, who has a lot of experience, has only a partial understanding of it. She only has a general direction and doesn't have much idea of the specific operation.
Gavin at least has more knowledge of another world than they do. It doesn’t matter how in-depth it is, but there is no problem in putting it on the air. The rest is to gradually improve it in the process of use.
The Shadow Messengers do not need those drow elves, because compared to smart heads, the most important thing is loyalty, ensuring that the information conveyed in the process is accurate and there is no interpretation of it.
In this area, the kobolds actually have an advantage. However, if the kobolds are placed next to the human army as messengers, they will be too conspicuous and prone to targeted treatment.
The best way is to use people from each race and select them directly from the units that need to be equipped.
Of course, this is something that will happen in the future. Even if the carrying capacity of the Vizeme Manor allows it, the resources at hand do not allow it. Resurrection of the dead requires money, at least five thousand gold coins each time for casting materials. , everything else is easy to say, except that the core material, diamond, cannot be bought with money.
Due to the conflict with the cities on the Dragon Coast, they were unable to replenish a single diamond here. The diamonds in the hands of the entire conqueror army were not enough to resurrect a hundred people. The war is imminent, and this precious resource is Of course you can't smash them all out.
"If the lord has ample funds, you can go to the Ximen Black Market Auction to have a look. They only accept money here, not anything else, not to mention the army of conquerors. Even if the Lord of Hell comes, they will sell it. The only flaw is this Only cash purchases are accepted, barter is not accepted, of course, you can choose to auction the goods here, and then auction the goods you need after knowing Gavin's predicament.
She entered the role very quickly. She completely regarded herself as one of the conquerors' army and completely forgot about their destruction of Ivanso's original regime.
“I’ve heard of the Ximen Black Market Auction, but I’ve never had the chance to see it.” Gavin showed a hint of emotion.
Daphne hurriedly advised: "Lord, your identity is sensitive, and it is really not appropriate to go deep into the enemy's territory. Many dangers in this world do not come from the front, but from the sharp blades in the darkness, and this is Ximen What Dark Night Masks are best at is that they have no moral bottom line and will not be merciful just because the Lord comes there to make a deal."
"I know, I'm not planning to go there myself." Gavin was not complacent because he had just defeated the corpse spider elf. He thought he was invincible. Looking at the entire continent of Faerûn, he was still far behind in terms of personal strength. They are not ranked in terms of reputation, especially those of legendary spellcasters. Nine-ring spells are the limit of ordinary people, but they are not those of legends. There are legendary spells above them.
Before Gavin could give his order, Grace took the initiative and asked for orders: "If your lord is trustworthy, I am willing to go to the west gate on your lord's behalf to collect the supplies you need."
"If you can even trust me at all. There is no way to give, and the Black Wings Guild has no way to operate. I will raise money for you. Two million, you have two purchasing tasks for this trip, one is diamonds for resurrection, and the other is phase spider silk. As for the price, you can buy it as long as it does not exceed the market price by 50%. "Follow. As his own strength and wealth increased, his error tolerance began to increase, and Gavin's courage also increased.
In the past, let alone two million, even two hundred thousand, he wouldn’t be worried unless he watched it in person. Now, in the blink of an eye, he had left it to his newly transformed subordinates.
Of course, this also comes from the confidence in her own control methods. Grace is an expert in using necromancy. She is more aware of the power Gavin has in his hands, and she is also aware of the power he exerts on herself. Insurance means.
We dare not act rashly until we find a way to remove this insurance method.
As for the payment of two million, it was sent to Ximen City in a grand manner using the newly formed conquistador caravan, under a clear banner.
Not only did the dark forces along the way not dare to touch the payment, on the contrary, they also tried their best to provide protection to ensure that the money would not go wrong within their sphere of influence.
Educate others by yourself.
These leaders of the dark forces subconsciously believe that this is a bait deliberately thrown out by the conqueror's army, in order to lure them into taking action and create opportunities for the conqueror's army to take action again.
They are not fools. They will never let themselves follow in the footsteps of Arms, let alone let their city become a puppet in their hands.
This is not only true for this amount, but also for anyone who carries the banner of the conqueror army during this period.
Gavin also ignored those fake and shoddy products, because this kind of barbaric growth was an excellent opportunity to expand the influence of the Conqueror Chamber of Commerce.
Of course, this is limited to normal trade exchanges. If someone does evil under the banner of the Conqueror Army, the Conqueror Army will use actual actions to let them know what a thunder strike is and what it means to kill them all. .
For a while, the army of conquerors was in fierce flames on the Dragon Coast. In order to send them away as soon as possible, those dark forces could only turn a blind eye to what they did.
"Lord, there are still a batch of trophies that you need to decide on their use personally." Daphne pointed at the terrifying object in the center of the city hall.
This thing is one meter thick and six or seven meters long, just like a giant thick barrel. There is nothing unusual about this. But the problem is that this thing is made entirely of bones from the inside to the outside. The bones are facing towards Outside, with the head facing inward, the thick barrel was densely packed with human heads.
However, the arrangement of these bones is abnormal and mysterious, forming extraordinary lines, revealing a strange beauty.
“Skeleton Cannon?” The first time he saw this thing, Gavin recognized its origin.
It is the device that the corpse spider elf condensed on the body of the corpse spider to launch the bone bomb in order to intercept the Wu Liu super state.
This thing was not destroyed with the collapse of the corpse spider, which aroused Gavin's interest.
Although the skeleton bomb originally launched by this thing did not cause substantial damage to the complete Wuliu Super State, it does not mean that its lethality is small. When it fell on those Kuo Tao fishmen, it was an out-and-out death. Harvester.
The most important thing is that this thing has attributes. Skeleton Bomb (Special Ability) - This device can be filled with one Skeleton Bomb each round and can be launched upon command.
The skeleton bomb has an effective range of 300 meters. It will automatically explode after hitting a hard object. Those who are directly hit will suffer 10D12 impact damage. After the explosion, it will cover an area with a radius of ten meters. , the covered area will suffer 5D10 splash damage, and will subsequently cause 5D10 corrosion damage to all creatures in the area.
This thing is a typical triple attack, and its lethality is approaching the eight-ring fire storm.
Previously, when it attacked the Wuliu super-state complete body, it mainly used the first impact. The subsequent splash and corrosion damage had no chance to exert its lethality. Even the most severe frontal impact, Gavin did not have it at that time. Give it a chance to use its full potential. If the Shadow Dragon Shield blocks it, you can use the force-removing technique to knock it away or slow it down.
The most cruel thing is that this thing has a special ability, which means that like the death roar, it does not need to be loaded and will condense and refill itself.
Until he saw the last note, Gavin's pupils couldn't help but shrink. This thing requires taking up the load points of Wezeme Manor, and there are quite a few, reaching fifty points. The Shadow Dragon only has one hundred points.
They are all real bearing points. Mys Noel's amplification effect is only limited to the tower, and it will not be easy to use after it comes out.
“How many gates are there in total for this kind of thing?” Gavin asked. He remembered that there were quite a lot of corpse spider elves condensed at that time, at least dozens of gates.
"Eighteen doors remain intact, and the rest have varying degrees of damage. I am trying to repair them."
"Is it possible to open it only when the power of ghosts is poured into it? Special ability? Or is it just a pile of corpses and bones? "Everything requires energy support, and these skeletons are no exception. Previously, the energy was provided by the corpse spider elves, but this time it is probably the shadow power of Vizeme Manor.
They discovered this special ability thanks to the shadow drag. If they were simply transported back to the manor, if they wanted to discover this ability, I am afraid it would require other coincidences.
“Yes, this special ability can only be unlocked if it is infused with the power of shadow.” Daphne confirmed Gavin’s speculation.
“Can you use the corpses on hand to imitate it in large quantities?” For this kind of good thing, Gavin always thinks of mass production.
"This still needs to be tried. There are many things in it that I haven't fully understood yet, and repairing them is very difficult. If I want to imitate it, I'm afraid there is still a long way to go." Daphne replied very conservatively.
"If one person is struggling, then form a research team and brainstorm ideas. Estelle and Grace both have professional knowledge in this area and can make full use of the knowledge they have." Gavin said several dwarfs He took out the alchemy gun, threw it to Daphne and said, "When the time comes, we will not only imitate this bone cannon, but also see if we can shrink it into something similar to For this kind of shooting weapon, if those shadows hold similar weapons, their combat effectiveness will be greatly improved."
Gavin does not dare to rashly carry out the research and development of various gunpowder weapons, no. He disdains modern shooting weapons, but is afraid that after modern technology is developed in large quantities, it will be mastered by those lunatics who are afraid of chaos in the world, bringing greater chaos to the entire world.
If he had the opportunity to develop a shooting weapon that was completely under his control, he would still be happy to see it happen.
The wilderness kobolds in the Dragon Oak Territory are studying the kobold alchemy muskets. They are not using the flutter bomb alchemy technology, but the kobolds' dragon vein power. They have achieved a certain degree of results, at least when fighting with dragons. The Mother Oak existed before the isolation, but it was not ideal. Just like the original flutter bomb, it was full of kobold-specific instability, and its power was very troublesome.
Unexpectedly, there would be a breakthrough overnight on the Shadow Power side of Weizemei Manor.
It’s just that the usage of the power of shadow that they discovered at once was too much, which directly caused Gavin to fall into the trouble of happiness, and had to withdraw part of the power of shadow from Blood Horn Peak. To maintain these eighteen shadow skeleton cannons, fifty points for a single cannon may not seem very high, but once the amount is increased, it will immediately reach nearly a thousand points, directly accounting for one-sixth of the total load-bearing point of the manor.
"We will definitely try more." Daphne couldn't help but sigh in her heart. The Lord's brain circuit is indeed different from ordinary people. Every time he reports on work, he will open up new doors for himself. He opened the door and opened up new ideas for himself, "Do I need to tailor-made chariots for them? To facilitate their transportation?"
"Yes." Gavin nodded and said, " It is not only necessary to build a tank; Special holding devices must be customized for them. According to the standards of the tree people, they can be used to attack when necessary. "
For humans, it is a cannon, but for the tree people with super large size. , the Shadow Skeleton Cannon can be turned into a Shadow Skeleton Hand Cannon, which will greatly strengthen the problem of insufficient long-range attacks of the Treants, while giving these Shadow Skeleton Cannons super mobility and improving safety.
"I will immediately ask those woad tree craftsmen to carry out research and production in this area."
"Be quick and try to get the army in place before leaving Ivanso." In response to the upcoming war in the goblin frontier, It's Gavin's top priority.
“Understood.”
“Is there anything else?”
“Nothing at the moment.”
"Then let's get started."
"As ordered."
......
The Conqueror's Army already has a complete organizational structure, especially with Catherine leading the way. The strategist lady from the Red Falcon Knights came to offer sacrifices to the holy strategists. After being broken up and mixed into the entire army, their organization was directly improved to a higher level.
Even if Gavin is not in the army, the place is still running smoothly.
The delivery of war compensation with the Dragon Coast Alliance did not suffer any delay due to the extra branch at Vizeme Manor. The last delivery was completed the night before the five-day period.
Just as Gavin and the others speculated, the Dragon Coast Alliance would not admit their defeat honestly, and would make various stumbling blocks in terms of compensation.
In terms of property compensation, they did not expect that the Conqueror Army had the unique ability of shadow drag, so they stumbled and gave away a net profit of less than 3 million to the Conqueror Army.
In terms of the 10,000 migrant population, they were successful, at least they thought they were successful. Not to mention young and strong, even slaves, they were not willing to give one to the conqueror's army, all of them were The old, weak, sick and disabled were plundered from major cities, and many of them had only breath left, and were transported here.
The Conqueror's Army accepts them all as ordered. Although there is no way for these old, weak, sick and disabled people to directly transform into the strength of the Conqueror's Army, they also have their own benefits, that is, they can serve as the Conqueror's Army's treatment team and help them for free. After they heal their physical injuries, their favorability towards the conqueror's army will skyrocket, and they will not dare to say anything, at least they will not try their best to escape.
In terms of healing ability, the medical team of the Conqueror's Army has reached an unprecedented height. Not only is the holy warrior regiment led by Darnell joining, but also because of the large number of rapid healing rings and regeneration rings. When funds are not particularly tight, Under such circumstances, of course, priority should be given to equipping one's own troops with this kind of practical equipment to improve their survivability, rather than selling it on a large scale.
There is an additional benefit to this matter. When it became known that the conquerors' army treated the injuries of those migrants for free, many people who had no desire to migrate were moved by it, especially those with amputated limbs.
Not to mention ordinary people, even those extraordinary professionals, the expensive casting price of the seven-ring regeneration spell is not so easy to bear.
Now that there is an opportunity for free healing, it must be sharpened and drilled into it. Most of the people in this group are young and strong, and many are even middle- and low-level warriors. They are exposed to danger and the opportunity to fight. bigger.
The conqueror army only promised not to actively recruit immigrants from the major cities on the Dragon Coast, but it did not promise not to accept immigrants who came to their doorsteps.
