I have a magical world.

Crossbows are easier to use than bows.

Therefore, among his weapons purchases, crossbows accounted for the majority and bows accounted for the minority.

However, the native people of Naroa are martial, especially those who are adventurers and mercenaries.

The bow holding rate is still relatively high.

It is not a problem to temporarily pull out a longbow team.

When the demonic disaster broke out before, Chen Xuan was deeply impressed by the longbow throws of the defenders of Magtan City.

Before the popularity of firearms, crossbows were still the best choice for long-range attacks.

Even after firearms are fully popularized, crossbows can still be used as a reserve force for long-range strikes.

So as to be prepared.

After all, it is not easy to obtain enough firearms and ammunition to arm two to three hundred thousand people.

Even if all members have light weapons, this is not a small amount.

If you want to build several complete infantry divisions in Magtan City.

Then Chen Xuan has to make more preparations.

Forming a modern army is not just a matter of playing tricks. Weapons, armaments and training must be kept up.

On Blue Star's side, the Burmese bacteria's military strength is only a few hundred thousand.

And those civilians with a military strength of 30,000 to 50,000 are already regional hegemons.

This is why Chen Xuan actively expands international channels at Blue Star.

This includes finding international intermediaries with sufficient size and connections.

And go to Ermao's house, which is currently the most sensitive, to catch the autumn breeze.

If he doesn't do this, what should Chen Xuan use to arm the entire Magtan City?

As for establishing a large corps in the future, he needs to have enough territory in Naroa.

Just move the production line over and be self-sufficient.

Orichalcum and black iron can even be used to produce weapons instead of Blue Star's steel and copper.

The improvement of runes on weapons is also an issue that cannot be ignored.

These require Chen Xuan to realize step by step.

It can't be achieved by just turning an idea in your head.

In addition to crossbows, Chen Xuan also purchased a lot of standard equipment that specializes in defensive counterattacks.

For example, a shield with advanced design ideas is highly practical.

Not only can it be equipped as an individual soldier, but it can also be formed into a temporary formation.

The shield surface is an approximately rectangular arc surface.

The innermost layer is a layer of four-eye cowhide, which can effectively slow down the impact.

The penultimate layer is iron plow wood, soft on the inside and hard on the outside, suitable for resisting the punctures of arrows and spears.

The third layer is made of orichalcum with a thickness of about half a centimeter, and the fourth layer, which is the outer layer, is made of black iron.

The thickness is about three centimeters.

The thickness of the entire shield reaches eight centimeters.

Its width is fifty-five centimeters and its length is eighty-five centimeters.

Each layer has been reinforced with second-level runes, and the edges have been riveted and reinforced.

The black iron on the outermost layer of the shield has another secret. It can reveal spikes one centimeter long.

The overall defensive effect of this spiked shield is considerable.

It can effectively resist attacks of silver level and below.

It also has a certain resistance to magic of the same level.

Even in the face of a super-level attack, as long as it is not suffered head-on, there is a certain chance that it can be resisted.

Best of all, this thing is not expensive to repair.

Which layer is damaged should be replaced.

The engraved strengthening runes are only common runes such as [Strong], [Shock Absorption], and [Self-blunting].

The blacksmith shop in Bangcheng is fully capable of repairing it in batches.

These are just some of its advantages.

What really interests Chen Xuan is its structural design.

There are connecting holes on the top, bottom, left and right sides of this shield.

Two different shields can be assembled and combined at will from four directions.

In other words, it is not only a spiked shield, but can also be combined into a spiked shield wall.

Recalling that when the demonic disaster broke out, the shield warriors selected from mercenaries and adventurers on the outer defense line were holding various shields in their hands, and Chen Xuan felt dizzy.

The melee shield soldiers of the garrison are equipped with standard shields.

But it was just a very ordinary square shield, not even reinforced by runes.

These are all due to cost considerations.

So now that he saw the good stuff, Chen Xuan was immediately moved.

Rune equipment and armor of the same level are usually more expensive than non-alien weapons.

Because more materials are used, the process is also more complicated.

Each side of this second-level spike shield costs 1950 crowns.

Chen Xuan directly purchased 1000 noodles, and the unit price was discounted by 100 crowns, which was a good discount.

Calculated, he spent 1850000 crowns just to order the spike shield, not counting the crossbows he had ordered previously.

In addition, Chen Xuan also purchased many special-type crossbow bolts and arrows.

For example, rune piercing arrows with armor-piercing effects, or flaming crossbows that can trigger ignition after hitting.

Compared with ordinary goods, the unit price of these arrows and crossbow arrows is more than ten times higher.

Ordinary arrows can be purchased in a bundle of 60 for 30 crowns.

A bundle of these special arrows costs 830 crowns.

And the lethality is not particularly amazing.

It's just much stronger than ordinary arrows/crossbow bolts.

The things are not cheap, but they can't stand up to Chen Xuan's wealth.

There are a total of 7 kinds of special arrows/crossbow bolts, and Chen Xuan purchased 1000 bundles of each.

Here again was an expenditure of several million crowns.

Chen Xuan spent more than 10 million kroner on this forging business.

Originally he wanted to purchase more quantities.

But the store's inventory couldn't keep up.

Just for the part he ordered, he had to wait for almost ten Naraya days to complete the handover.

The same is true for other forging firms, and they will not prepare so much inventory.

However, behind such forging firms there are one or several blacksmith workshops.

As long as you place an order, under normal circumstances, it can basically be delivered as promised.

The payment method is still 3:3:4.

Chen Xuan paid 30% of the price and received the amount of inventory that could be satisfied on the spot.

After all, he still had a slight advantage.

After leaving the address of Magtan City and telling them to find Baron Bezos to hand it over, Chen Xuan left Shi Shiran.

This wave of bulk commodity purchases has basically solved the inventory problem of grain, mineral materials and standard equipment in Magatan City in the future.

Return to Black Leaf Shop No. 7.

In front of the station of the Deepwater Valley Mining Business Group.

The expected scene of enthusiastic loading did not appear.

The dwarf steward Reza Ironstone was sweating profusely and explaining something to a man wearing noble attire.

Chen Xuan approached from behind silently, just like other customers.

There was no scruple in the conversation between the two parties, so he easily heard what was said.

"I'm sorry, Lord Tris Landau."
