Lord of Riders

Is it just to prevent the Shao Ming Kingdom from participating in the war with the pirates and to let the pirates weaken the kingdoms of Swadia and Vigia? Shao Yu changed his mind and thought again. But it is not reasonable to think about it carefully. If you want to weaken the ministries of these countries, even the Shao Ming Kingdom will weaken them.

Shao Yu obviously felt that the combat effectiveness of the recently engaged pirates had greatly improved and became more organized. Relying on the remnant army of the Kingdom of Virginia and the army of the Kingdom of Swadia, I am afraid that they are really not the opponents of the Pirate Legion.

Politicians are always hypocritical, and Shao Yu couldn't figure out why King Griffith invited himself for a while. But Shao Yu felt that he could take this opportunity to visit the Kingdom of Rodok. In fact, Shao Yu has long wanted to go to the Rhodok Kingdom. The Rhodok Kingdom has the most powerful crossbowmen on the mainland, as well as high crossbow making skills. The crossbowmen are easy to train and have high shooting accuracy. I also wanted to form a crossbow force, but because of technical limitations, it has not been able to implement it. The arsenal does not produce military crossbows for the time being.

Although the war was not over yet, Shao Yu had already clearly seen the situation of the war. Sooner or later, the pirates would defeat the kingdoms of Vegia and Swadia. In addition, the Nord Kingdom next to him had been standing still, and he was definitely waiting for the opportunity.

Once the Vigia Kingdom is defeated, the next one will naturally suffer is the Shao Ming Kingdom. In order to guard against the next fierce battle, Shao Yu continued to strengthen the kingdom's armaments. At the same time, Shao Yu is already starting to transform Aichemore City.

Shao Yu’s success in the outfield warfare did not forget his research on ordnance. In his free time in combat, Shao Yu designed a small catapult, which was erected on the city wall and used to throw stones and kill the enemy in the battle of the city. This is deliberately prepared for combat against pirates.

Pirates wearing iron armor and shields are difficult to be attacked by arrows. Shields will block most of the arrows, but they cannot prevent heavy stones. With the force thrown and dropped from the air, a rock can easily kill a pirate wearing an iron armor.

There used to be large catapults on the Calradia continent, which were used to throw large stones to attack the city walls, but the siege catapults used by Calradia were huge and heavy, not easy to carry and assemble, and required manpower to launch, so they were not used much.

However, the catapult modified by Shao Yu uses a torsion spring developed by the Blue Stars, which is twisted by the elastic force of the spring. Compared with the catapult on the Calradia continent, it saves much effort. In addition, the catapult itself is only two meters high and can be launched at the same time. Several stones weighing about ten kilograms, walking with good firepower. In this era without firearms, heavy blunt weapons often hurt soldiers in armor more severely than sharp weapons.

In addition to the trebuchet, Shao Yu's most important transformation is a large-scale tunnel. Aichemore originally had a certain scale of secret envoys. Shao Yu expanded on the original foundation and dug deep holes. Shao Yu planned to make the underground tunnel system of Aichemore extend in all directions before the pirates invaded, and the entire underground All converted into a large fortress. Let Aichemore's defensive range is no longer confined to the city wall.

Shao Yu’s forces are few, and most of them are recruits with inexperience. Shao Yu believes that now we must continue to weaken the enemy through defensive wars in order to further strengthen. And Shao Yu can think of the easiest army to train than crossbowmen.

Even a peasant who doesn't know anything about combat can easily kill a knight who has been trained and well equipped from an early age with a crossbow as long as he has undergone certain training.

As the country that used the most crossbowmen in the Rhodok Kingdom, Shao Yu had long wanted to see it, but there was no chance and time.

Now the messenger of the Rhodok Kingdom took the initiative to invite him, Shao Yu wanted to take the opportunity to see the crossbow troops of the Rhodok Kingdom and see how they fight.

However, the complex international situation still keeps Shao Yu vigilant.

"King Shao Yu is a little worried about the friendship of our country. If King Shao Yu is not at ease, we can't force it." The messenger saw that Shao Yu hesitated and said

"Well, I will discuss this matter with the ministers of our country, and then make a decision, please go back first, the ambassador, thank the King Griffith for me," Shao Yu finally said

"Okay, goodbye, Your Majesty the King" the messenger respectfully saluted again and bid farewell to Shao Yu and returned to the Kingdom of Rodok.

After the messenger left, Shao Yu summoned Eleon and the others, and talked about the invitation from the Kingdom of Rhodok.

"The Kingdom of Rodok has hardly had any dealings with us. Sending an envoy to invite your Majesty to do something, I am afraid that Griffith is not at ease." Lord Ubai said after hearing this.

"Yes, Griffiths is not a credible person, although I can't think of anything, but it is better to be careful, I am afraid they have any conspiracy," Elaine also said

It seems that both of them have a bad impression of King Griffiths. Griffiths doesn't like to pick things very much, but he is an opportunist. Therefore, people like Lord Ubai who have met the world are not new to this king.

"Conspiracy?" Shao Yu muttered to himself

"What did your majesty think of?" Elaine asked

"No, but if you don't go, you won't know what other people's ideas and conspiracies are. If it happens to be a friendly invitation, it might be true." Shao Yu smiled.

Of course, I don't believe in a friendly and sincere invitation to Shao Yu, but if you don't go to the Kingdom of Rodok, you really don't know what Griffith's calculations are. Shao Yu suddenly felt that if they really had any conspiracy, hiding in Aichamore would not be able to solve the problem. Only when they went to the Kingdom of Rodok could they know what the other party was thinking.

The situation on the Calradia continent is complex and changeable~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It seems there is no harm in going there to deepen and deepen the understanding of the Kingdom of Rhodok. After much consideration, Shao Yu made up his mind and accepted the invitation of King Griffiths to go to the Kingdom of Rodok. However, before going to Rodok, Shao Yu still intends to make some preparations, after all, he is not familiar with the place.

"Yamira" Shao Yu thought for a while and called to Yamila

"Your Majesty, what's your order?" Jamila said when Shao Yu called herself.

"Your father is Veluga's big businessman, right" Shao Yu said

"Yes, your majesty, my father is a well-known merchant in Veluga, why did your majesty ask about this?" Yamila said curiously

"This time I am going to the Kingdom of Rhodok, I am afraid that it will not be smooth sailing. I want my father to be an internal response to me and prepare something for us in the Kingdom of Rhodok," said Shao Yu

"Ask my father for help?" Jamila said unexpectedly.

"Yes, I want you to go back first and help us step on it. After all, you are a Rhodok and your identity is relatively secret," Shao Yu said
