Lord of Rot

Chapter 481 Winged Cavalry

Ding! Ding!

Hei Er glanced at the design drawing set aside, picked up the right-angled iron ruler and made two gestures, then lowered his head and continued tapping.

Soon, the iron embryo under the hammer took shape.

Finally, a pair of hollow curved iron pipes were hammered out.

The apprentice clamped the iron pipe with pliers, leaving the blacksmith free to use the chisel to knock on the iron pipe, leaving small holes one by one.

"Whoo~"

Black Ear raised his hand and wiped his sweat to prevent his eyes from squinting due to sweat and affecting his work.

The river outside had just thawed, and the water-powered forging hammers were not all in use. In addition, the recent need to make armor in batches meant that he had to forge hammers for small things like the ones in front of him himself. This was a physical job.

Even if he had a water-powered forging hammer, he couldn't use it because his work really required caution.

"Hey, Black Ears, how are you?"

"It'll be ready soon!" Black Ear waited for the iron pipe to cool to a certain temperature, then took the pliers from the apprentice and put the hot iron pipe into the oil drum.

Jab Lala! There was a burst of thick smoke, and even sparks appeared on the surface. Fortunately, the sparks were quickly suppressed and the oil drum returned to calm.

Black Ear picked up the iron pipe and squinted one eye to look at it: "It's okay, it's straight!"

"Hey, is it done?" The foreman came over and patted Black Ear's shoulder: "He is indeed the oldest blacksmith in our Porcupine, hahaha."

Black Ear heard the ridicule in the other party's words, and instead of being angry, he laughed: "Back then, the lord still needed my help to build an iron plow!"

A group of people suddenly became envious, because they came to Porcupine Collar early, and the black ears really played a lot of roles.

However, the subsequent arrival of a large number of blacksmiths and the construction of blacksmith factories made their role less and less important, and even making farm tools was not ranked among them. However, after Black Ears worked with him for a few years, his skills improved slightly and he barely got rid of his apprenticeship. The title became a serious blacksmith.

"I will send the things to you now." Black Ear wiped the iron pipe, polished it, and wrapped it in cloth: "I hope you will be satisfied this time."

"Don't forget us when you become famous!"

"of course!"

Amidst the laughter, Hei Er quickly left the blacksmith factory.

As soon as he got into the cold wind, the cold air immediately blew away the warmth from his body.

Black Ear held the iron pipe under his arm, rubbed his hands, and then took a breath of hot air into his palms, then shrunk his neck and hurried towards Porcupine Castle.

The trek from the blacksmith factory to the castle takes less than half a day.

Arriving at the gate of the castle, Black Ear was stopped as expected.

"Sir, it's me," Black Ear said, "I'm here to deliver something again."

After confirming Black Ear's appearance and identity, the guard soldiers nodded and signaled Black Ear to hurry over.

"What happened recently? Why do you feel that the contract guards are so tight?" Black Ear did not leave immediately, but approached curiously and asked.

"It's not your place to ask, don't ask randomly," the guard soldier said with enthusiasm, "Don't let your curiosity kill you."

"Yes, yes, I'm going to deliver the things right away." Black Ear nodded. After he was some distance away from the castle gate, he muttered in a low voice: "You really think I don't know? Isn't it the Duke who is dead?"

That was a big deal for another day.

As the guard soldier said, knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing, so he still likes to pretend not to know.

No matter who the duke is, as long as the lord of his family does not fall.

Hei Er entered the castle with ease, and came to a courtyard of the castle.

The lord was chatting with the carpenter, and there were fully armed cavalry and armored horses beside him.

Black Ear recognized this equipment. It was different from the standard scale armor of a porcupine collar. It was a tin can-style lobster armor. It was not a single piece of ordinary plate armor, but made up of large pieces of plate armor.

The war horse equipment is even armed to the teeth, and there are eye patches for the eyes.

When the war horses start galloping, the guy covered in thick iron skin will be unstoppable and will dominate the battlefields of the entire era.

Seeing Black Ear coming, Li Qi waved and said, "You came just in time."

"Sir, this is what you want." Black Ear spread the cloth, revealing two curved iron pipes.

Li Qi nodded: "It should be no problem this time. It's pretty much what I thought. Pointy nose, come and try it."

"Yes!" The carpenter nodded, picked up an iron pipe, and then picked up a feather from the side.

Everyone present focused their attention on the carpenter's craftsmanship.

The specially treated feathers are inserted into the holes reserved in the iron pipes and then tied with strings.

Quite time consuming.

When the carpenter stops working, the iron pipe looks like two full-fledged wings, which is very beautiful to look at.

"Little Joel!" Li Qi shouted to the dazed soldiers in the distance.

"Yes, my lord!"

Soldiers wearing brand new plate armor came over leading their horses.

When the carpenter helped, he inserted the two "wings" into the reserved grooves on the back of the plate armor, quickly transforming him into a winged knight. Little Joel's whole appearance seemed to have changed drastically.

Full of unique temperament.

Full body plate armor, wings, cloak, spear.

Like a god of war.

"Try running two steps." Li Qi looked at Little Joel expectantly.

The heavily armed heavy cavalry could not run at all with the terrifying weight of their armor.

"Yes!" Little Joel answered loudly and took a step forward.

There seemed to be wind under my feet. Although I couldn't run, my speed was obviously much faster than before.

"How do you feel?" Li Qi asked.

"Sir, it's very comfortable!" Little Joel's voice muffled in the helmet buzzed: "It seems like a gust of wind is holding the armor and pushing me forward."

"Okay!" Li Qi nodded with satisfaction: "Get on your horse and try to charge!"

"Yes!"

Little Joel nimbly turned onto his horse, and with the cry of "drive", the horse neighed and kicked, kicked its front hooves a few times, and then landed on the ground and ran.

Tapping, tapping, the sound of horse hooves is like thunder.

However, what is really concerning is the wind it drives. With the weight of the cavalry, if you want to maximize the speed for charging, you need to run on a flat road to speed up, and it also takes a long time to prepare.

However, after little Joel mounted the war horse, his speed increased beyond imagination. In the blink of an eye, he had reached the highest speed.

And when sprinting, the wings clearly made a screaming sound.

"Charge! Drive!" Little Joel shouted, quickly turned back after reaching the end of the yard, and charged three times before stopping.

Little Joel got off his horse and said excitedly to Li Qi: "Sir, these chicken feather wings are so useful! With them, our cavalry will be a nightmare for all enemies on the battlefield!"

"Take off the chicken feathers." Li Qi's face darkened. Although everyone knew that this thing was made from the feathers of the World of Warcraft Fat Chicken, it was a bit disrespectful to call it chicken feathers.

"Starting from today, I will let you be responsible for forming a team composed entirely of heavy cavalry," Li Qi said: "Soldiers will come from the Porcupine Territory, Iron Valley, desert and other places, and you will be responsible for selecting the best members."

"Yes!" Little Joel shouted excitedly.

He could imagine how terrifying the scene would be if he led such a terrifying team onto the battlefield.

"Team command horn," Li Qi said thoughtfully, "Because the biggest feature of our team is the wings behind it, so this team is called - Winged Cavalry!"
