Mount & Blade: Wind of War

God's Blessed City, Lonely Mountain Castle, morning.

Due to the joining of other dwarf tribes, the underground arsenal area has become more lively.

Along with the growth of the Bloodbeard Tribe of the dwarf clan, the smelting and forging technology of the Lonely Mountain Fortress has also improved.

The Bloodbeard Tribe can now forge light, thin and strong special steel, but the cost is quite high, more than ten times that of ordinary steel.

Although such special steel is not suitable for the entire army, it is still no problem to equip a few high-level knights. It can be called the best white armor. Although it has no enchanted properties, its basic defense is quite high.

In the office of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Lord Rhodes, these are dragon scales. Combined with these dragon blood, you give me your war gun. I am confident that it can be made into a legendary weapon that will be passed down from generation to generation!"

At this moment, the dwarf elder Nicolte slapped his chest at Rhodes, but Rhodes was unmoved and not tempted by him.

Having been a blacksmith for his whole life, Nicolte has never been able to create a legendary equipment. It is not because of his lack of talent or effort, but because when he was young, the magic tide had not yet risen, and he had no extraordinary power. The concentration of magic in the entire world environment was not enough, so naturally he could not create those powerful items that exist in epic myths.

When the magic tide rose, Nicolte was already old, and his blood and spirit were exhausted. Although he was still a powerful blacksmith with his extraordinary talent, he had no room for further breakthroughs and became a legendary blacksmith.

This time, Rhodes returned to the Lonely Mountain Castle. When Nicolte saw the eight-foot iron ridge steel gun, his eyes were green.

Especially after discovering that Rhodes had obtained dragon blood x26 dragon scale x59, he kept pestering Rhodes, wanting to enchant and strengthen the iron ridge steel gun.

It's not that Nicolte had never seen the iron ridge steel gun before, but at that time the war gun had not yet awakened, so he didn't see anything.

Now he can see that this is a natural thing, a high-level blacksmith's dream all his life.

Just like a painter, novelist, musician, poet hopes to leave his own works, the same is true for high-level blacksmiths. This is an almost instinctive professional pursuit.

"Don't bother. I just want a piece of light dragon scale armor. If you want to make armor, you can take these blood and dragon scales directly, but if you want to touch this gun, I tell you clearly, no! Absolutely not!"

Rhodes's stern refusal was based on two considerations:

On the one hand, the iron spine steel gun that has just partially awakened its spirituality is not suitable for enchantment. Although doing so can strengthen it in a short period of time, in the long run, it will destroy this natural Horcrux.

At the same time, Rhodes realized that the reason why Elder Nicolte wanted to make this gun so much was to use it to pass on his name to future generations.

There is nothing wrong with this, of course, but it is not good for one's own combat power.

On the other hand, Elder Nicolte was already very old. If he continued to forge the weapon at this time, this lovely old man might die on the forging table. Although he was willing, Rhode was not. After all, they had worked together for a long time and had some feelings for each other.

"Moreover, from the perspective of resource allocation, it is better to invest all resources in full body equipment than to invest all resources in one offensive equipment. Just like for a fledgling adventurer, a well-made leather armor, shield and sword is far more practical than an enchanted dagger. Although the combined value of the former may not be as good as the latter, it can improve combat effectiveness."

There may be a top-level gun saint who "has a gun in hand and is immune to wind and rain" in this world, and there will definitely be one in the future, but Rhode is sure that he is far from reaching that level now.

In this case, let's just stack the thickness of the armor honestly.

"..." The old man Nigult, who was rejected by Rhode, was a little depressed. He looked back at Rhode every few steps as he walked out, like a naughty child who wanted to buy candy but was sternly rejected by his family. However, his old face with thick beard made him look a little howling.

"Don't look at it. No one in the Bloodbeard Clan can touch this gun. Of course, I won't give it to you and I will never give it to others. If it doesn't work, can this gun be called 'Nigult' in the future?"

"Dwarves will not drink other people's wine for free, and Nigult does not need to sign his name on weapons that have not been put on his anvil."

Finally, Nigult walked out with the dragon scales and dragon blood materials.

With the current smelting technology of the Bloodbeard Dwarves, it is impossible to forge legendary equipment, even with dragon blood and dragon scales, it is not possible, and raw materials such as iron spine steel guns that are almost natural gods are needed.

As long as he couldn't forge a weapon that was handed down from generation to generation, Elder Nicolte wouldn't do it himself, and his life would be saved. There were still some younger generations in the clan whose forging skills were not inferior to his. At most, he would supervise and give instructions.

The enhanced Light Dragon Scale Armor designed based on the third-level Holy Light Armor may be very powerful, but it is undoubtedly far from the legendary equipment.

Nicolte walked out of the office, and the iron-ridged steel gun inserted in the weapon rack flashed a silver glow, as if it also breathed a sigh of relief.

When Nicolte saw it just now, the whole person was almost in a frenzy.

Shaking his head, Rhodes returned to his office and began to review the documents and materials sent from various territories during this period:

White Stone Fortress is just a garrison, and there are no livelihood activities, so there is no problem.

The blacksmith workshop and velvet factory in Redwood Town have been established. Although the business of weapon forging is greatly suppressed by Lonely Mountain Castle, due to the surge in the flow of people, the blacksmith workshop in Redwood Town can also make a lot of money by just taking on the farm tool business. Therefore, the town has developed rapidly as a whole, and the data in all aspects are satisfactory.

The situation in Redemption City is more bloody. Janice has a blood feud with the wilderness thieves. She can save children desperately, but she has some iron-blooded tactics for thieves.

Janice and Airen cooperate very well. Janice does not touch the military power, which satisfies Airen's desire to control the military power alone. In return, Airen also cooperates with Janice.

Originally, when Rhodes occupied Redemption City, he surrendered too many thief leaders. Although this was easy in the early stage, it would take a lot of political and economic benefits to settle these people in the later stage to appease and satisfy them.

Otherwise, these people have a group of thieves under their command. If the power and position given by Rhode are not enough to satisfy them, they will make trouble.

However, most of the thieves leaders were killed by Janice in various ways during this period of time.

Why is Airen willing to cooperate with Janice?

Because Janice does not touch the military power, and even gives the military power back to Airen after killing people, Airen will also spend a lot of time and energy to suppress these thieves. Of course, he can't have a conflict with Janice in a short time, because the appeasement after the suppression also requires Janice to squeeze out political and economic interests to assist and cooperate.

"It's really killing heads and blood all over the ground. Except for Blevins, she doesn't plan to leave any of the rest for me. It seems that I have to go to the City of Redemption sometime, otherwise if I let her kill so wantonly, no one will dare to surrender to me in the future."
