Chapter 129 Upgrading the Glaive Thrower
Today is the third update, this is the first chapter.
—————————————————————————————————
By the way, the Glaive Throwers! Neither the elite nor the four ordinary Glaive Throwers have been upgraded yet, and they cannot gain experience by killing wild monsters - Yu Fei can't see the experience bar on the Glaive Throwers like on other units. Maybe we can try to let these dwarves try to transform the Glaive Throwers? Combining some "common sense" in the novels I have read, Yu Fei thinks this is a promising thing.
Well, we can give it a try~~ However, the specific treatment of Gargantuan and the other dwarves depends on how well they transform the Glaive Throwers. If they don't do anything. Considering that they have contributed a lot of information, they should be placed under house arrest. They can't be allowed to go out and reveal the existence of the night elves and themselves - although they should take the initiative to expand outward soon, it is not good to disrupt the plan.
Yu Fei has always been an activist and does what he thinks. Through Tyrande, he asked several dwarves to come to the place where the Glaive Throwers were placed. In fact, the Glaive Thrower is not completely a mechanical body. Mechanical bodies cannot move forward, load ammunition (blades), and fire by themselves like the Glaive Thrower. The Glaive Thrower can be said to be a dead object that has been animated. It is the dense runes on the Glaive Thrower that make it alive.
In the Warcraft Mountains, due to the terrain, the Glaive Thrower is inconvenient to move. In addition, the Warcraft is generally agile, so the Glaive Thrower's attack is probably difficult to hit, so Yu Fei has always placed the Glaive Thrower under his tree to bask in the sun and did not let them participate in the battle.
It seems that the Glaive Thrower is simply a useless thing and is difficult to use. However, Yu Fei has his own ideas. In the Warcraft Mountains, the Glaive Thrower cannot be put into battle due to the environment, but when he expands outward, especially when fighting against humans, the Glaive Thrower will be of great use.
Humans generally rely on fortifications to fight. In particular, the walls of human cities and the magic towers in some cities are the most headaches for some alien races that attack humans. With the Glaive Thrower, the city wall may not bring any obstacles to the Night Elves. Apart from other things, an elite Glaive Thrower can blast a hole in the general city wall with a charged blade.
The most important thing is that the Glaive Thrower has a very long attack range. The enemy's long-range attack, whether magic or bows and arrows, can hardly attack the Glaive Thrower that throws blades from a thousand meters away - even with the height advantage of the city wall. This makes the Glaive Thrower a siege weapon in Yu Fei's hands, which is of great help to him in launching wars.
The moment he saw the Glaive Thrower, Gargant and several other dwarves couldn't help but rush up and carefully observe every part of the Glaive Thrower. Then, there was a series of exclamations. Yu Fei was immune to these bloody plots. He directly asked Tyrande to ask several dwarves if they could transform the Glaive Thrower to a higher level.
After Tyrande asked this question, Gargant and several other dwarves showed difficulty on their faces. Hmm? No? Yu Fei was a little disappointed, but he still waited patiently for the dwarves to tell Tyrande the answer. In the end, it was Gangji, not Gargantu, who spoke on behalf of the dwarves. This surprised Yu Fei a little, but thinking that this was a forging problem, Gangji was more professional than the other dwarves, so Yu Fei was relieved.
According to Gangji's meaning, the dwarves do have the ability to transform the glaive throwers, but it is limited to transforming ordinary glaive throwers to elite level - this is because there is already an elite glaive thrower as a reference. As if not wanting Tyrande to think they are too incompetent, Gangji added some more explanations.
The casting and components of these glaive throwers are not a problem for the dwarves, but they involve knowledge of magic movement, which only high-level goblins are proficient in, and the dwarves are not familiar with these. It should be noted here that after the extermination of the human race five thousand years ago, most of the goblins lost their wisdom and became beast-like creatures.
However, there are also some goblins who did not live in the sphere of human influence, and they have inherited the goblin clan's knowledge of machinery and magic movement. In order to distinguish these rare goblins who have mastered advanced technology from those who have fallen, the various races on the continent call these goblins high-level goblins.
According to Gangji, if high-level goblins optimize the magic runes on the glaive thrower, and then combine them with the casting skills of the dwarves, the glaive thrower can definitely be upgraded. But at this time, there are no high-level goblins. The dwarves can only do their best to follow suit and upgrade the ordinary glaive thrower according to the structure of the elite glaive thrower. And even then, they must be careful not to destroy the original rune structure.
According to Gangji proudly, if you want to structurally transform the glaive thrower without destroying the original magic runes, only the dwarves can do it. Even if there are high-level goblins in the future to upgrade and optimize the elite glaive thrower to a higher level, the dwarves' craftsmanship cannot be missed. The two must cooperate to complete this work.
High goblins. Yu Fei thought of the goblins in Warcraft, as well as the goblin shop and goblin laboratory. Well, the goblins in Warcraft also seem to have high attainments in magic. The structures of goblin tearers and goblin airships are probably much more complicated than blade throwers. If the high-level goblins on the Eslazer continent also possess this level, they may be able to optimize and upgrade the blade-throwing vehicle.
Um! When he meets a high-level goblin in the future, he will try his best to rescue one, and Yu Fei secretly makes up his mind. But are these lovers still useful? Although they cannot go further, it is also a good thing to modify all blade-throwing vehicles to the elite level. In future wars with humans, the night elves will probably need to use blade-throwing vehicles in many places. Later, they can produce more blade-throwing vehicles for the dwarves to modify. By then, the night elves' siege advantage will also be established. .
Now, let Gargant and the others transform the existing ordinary-level blade-throwing vehicles into elite-level ones~~ Tyrande made a request to several dwarves. Gargant and Gangji naturally had no objections, and soon started to move and began to upgrade the ordinary blade-throwing vehicles.
Compared with the ordinary level, the elite level blade throwing vehicle actually only has a few more parts and the structure is more complicated. Several dwarves, under the command of the forger Gangji, each began to look for suitable things for processing, and soon installed these components on four ordinary-level blade-throwing vehicles.
It didn't take much effort, and the four ordinary-level blade-throwing vehicles were upgraded. What surprised Yu Fei was that the skills of these newly upgraded blade-throwing vehicles were the same as those of the first-generation blade-throwing vehicles, which were all charged-up swords.
Charged Blade: The Blade Throwing Cart consumes a small amount of magic value and performs a powerful projection after charging for up to five seconds. The attack is enhanced by one star for every second of charging. If the attack target moves while charging, it can only attack to the predetermined location. The interval is 2 minutes.
Maybe it's because the blade thrower, unlike other types of arms, doesn't have life in the true sense. Yu Fei guessed that if there is no life, it is a mechanical body produced on an assembly line. Naturally, there will be no difference in potential like a living unit. Then, the skills of the later upgraded blade throwing vehicles and the first batch of blade throwing vehicles The same can be understood.
Yu Fei was quite satisfied with the contributions of several dwarves. The roles of ordinary-level blade-throwing vehicles and elite-level blade-throwing vehicles in siege warfare are completely different. With the skill of charging blades, the blade-throwing vehicles can leisurely charge up the enemy thousands of meters away. , and then destroy the enemy's defenses with one blow.
Thinking that the subsequent blade-throwing vehicles would need to be upgraded by Gargant and the others, Yu Fei decided to arrange these dwarves properly, after all, they would be used in the future. Uh, right! Yu Fei suddenly thought of some metal veins he had discovered while searching for energy mines.
This situation was negotiated by Tyrande and Gargant. They heard that there were several metal veins around, and the dwarves were a little excited. In fact, Gargant can already predict the future for himself and his subordinates - these night elves obviously don't want the outside world to know their information, so he and his four subordinates may not have the opportunity to contact the outside world for the time being.
But you can’t just sit idle and do nothing all the time, right? With these metal veins, if nothing else, it can be used to kill the dwarves. Gargant also has an idea in his mind, which is to find more hill dwarves to join them. If there are too few people, the work efficiency will be improved. will drop. Moreover, he was definitely not the only dwarf from the Solid Stone Tribe who escaped from that disaster. Gargant also made this request like Tyrande with the thought of saving one of them.
After pondering for a moment, Yu Fei asked Tyrande to agree to this request. But Tyrande also clearly told Gargant that the night elves would not specifically look for dwarves, but when they went out to search for ancient trees and energy mines, if they met the escaped hill dwarves, It will definitely come to the rescue.
In fact, Yu Fei also hopes that the number of dwarves under his command can reach a certain number. There are still plenty of ores in the Warcraft Mountains, but these metal ores are not what Yu Fei needs. Then it might be a good idea to have the dwarves forge weapons or something. After all, if we trade with outside races in the future, we can’t only trade enchanted equipment, right? Ordinary equipment made by dwarves can also be exchanged for magic crystals, gold coins, etc. to be converted into energy.
Moreover, this also provides a reason for the origin of the night elves' enchanted equipment, which can be regarded as killing multiple birds with one stone.
