Chapter 398 397.The Riptide Knights’ Newly Arrived Knight-Hime-[Monthly Votes Plus 410

At the same time that the five collective farms controlled by the small players began to specialize in increasing their development degree, the official commissioning of the First National Arsenal of Transylvania, which had already built its factory building a week ago, was delayed by three days on the Andromeda Hills of Transylvania.

As the factory director, Brother Loyalty has been quite anxious these days, however, with his current level of engineering, he is completely unable to complete the upgrading of the old production line on his own, even with the help of “Transia’s number one engineer”, Count Sheridan, the speed of this matter is still slow to the point of being ridiculously slow.

Although Brother Loyalty has already done a simple transformation plan through the “drawings found in the office garbage can”, and also fully recognized by the small snow Lun, but the master and disciple have underestimated the difficulty of the transformation of a production line.

Even the production line in the steam era was a complex structure with several large machines connected in parallel.

What’s more, in front of the loyal brother is still a fantasy steampunk type of thing, he himself belongs to a beginner, even understand the working principle of this thing is honestly very reluctant, just a little Xue Lun casting their own workpieces and templates used to replace it took almost a week’s time.

“Now that it’s done it’s barely done, and I’m guessing it’ll barely work when it’s mounted, but it’s not an original part after all, and the wear and tear of using it is sure to be high and there will be some tolerances.”

In the arsenal, wearing a mechanic’s uniform, Xiao Xuelun pushed the windproof goggles on her forehead as she watched before her eyes as the skilled workers of the Carpe family were leading some locally recruited apprentices to replace those workpieces cast by her and her disciple, Loyal Brother, onto the original production machines.

With a worried look on her face, she said:
“We still overestimated our own abilities and underestimated the difficulties we face, this is not something we can handle by hand rubbing now, we must seek help from professionals.”

“Huh?”

Next to him, Loyal moved his cool robotic hands, wearing a “capitalist suit” with rolled up sleeves and grease stains on his face, and frowned when he heard his young mentor’s statement:
“But you’re already the best professional in this field in Transylvania, we don’t have any engineers better than you nearby, do we have to go to Genoa Peninsula to find those halflings?”

“That is indeed a solution, isn’t the Batasin Chamber of Commerce going over to make purchases next month? We can order some tools and ready-made molds from the halflings’ factories, they have that business over there.”

Little Sherron flapped her wings and levitated, checking out the whole assembly process in the air as she spoke to Brother Loyalty:
“This production line in front of you was also ordered by my father through my mother’s contacts in the Halfling’s factory in the beginning, Transylvania does not have the ability to manufacture production lines on its own.

My mother’s connections in the Genoa Peninsula should still be there, the halflings can also live for a long time and they don’t want to get involved in the continental strife, the peace there has been maintained for hundreds of years, it’s precisely because of that kind of environment that can allow the halflings to settle down and do research and improvement.”

“But in reality it’s too late, Mentor.”

Brother Loyalty immediately shook his head:

“There are only more than three months left before the arrival of the Black Plague, even if the Halflings work overtime to help us make the production lines, we won’t have enough time to start production by the time they are shipped over, and such a solution won’t satisfy Lord Murphy.

We must find another way.”

“Then go to the Dark Mountain Range!”

Sherron Jr. narrowed his eyes and spoke in a determined tone:

“Look for that crazy engineering master Thiok Flywheel! The Hungry Mountain where he is located is not very far from the Barren Mountain defense line on the outskirts of the Dark Mountain Range, so as long as our warriors and soldiers can break through the blockade of the Filthy Swamp, we only need to fast-track our way for a day or two to reach Sulphur Flywheel’s compound.

Since that crazy engineer who enjoys strife can sell the Dwarf Marshal 3,000 sets of Arithmetic Baubles, it proves that he has systematic manufacturing tools in his hands.

As long as we can strike a deal with him, we can get everything we need faster.

Halflings because of their non-involvement in the war cause this kind of military order needs to be passed by the Steam Lords Council, but any council organization’s decision-making efficiency is not too high.

Perhaps finding a more ‘adaptable’ Thiuk-Flywheel partnership would be the best way to go.”

“We can do both!”

Brother Loyal replied after a moment’s thought:

“Walking on two legs is the only way to go steady, use the name of supporting the Black Plague to ask the Steam Lords to give aid to Transylvania, and then send people to find the Thiok-Flywheel. I reckon that the arithmetic pearls in Lord Murphy’s hands might not be quite enough for him to continue replenishing this strategic material as well.”

“Well, then I’ll be the one to write the report.”

Little Earl Sherron nodded, always the decisive one, and said to Brother Loyalty in the air:
“You can just be famous after the report, you can watch over here, when they finish loading it don’t connect it to the steam engine to start production just yet, I still have to check the whole production line one last time to make sure it’s correct before I can manufacture it.

This is the only set of production line we have on hand at the moment, if we break it, we won’t have any fun.”

“Okay, Mentor, I’ll keep an eye on them.”

Brother Loyalty answered dryly, watched Little Sheridan leave, and returned his gaze to the production line that was being overhauled in front of him.

His gaze swept over the strangely shaped and intricately constructed gears and lever structures, which were very different from the fully automated military supplies production line he remembered, and it wasn’t even close to being the same.

“According to Sherron, this production line can manufacture 200 rifle parts and thousands of bullets in a day, it’s just that the subsequent polishing and assembly still needs time, and the hardwood promised by the Riptide Knights side hasn’t arrived yet .
Holy shit!

This is far from forming a scale.”

Brother Loyalty fished out his own notebook to write and draw with an egg on his face, he looked at his ambition of planning to get a semi-automatic in three months on it, and thought to himself that he was really a simple cutie before, so he closed his eyes and scratched out that wild ambition.

He looked at the current situation and rewrote himself a goal; it would be good enough to make sure that bolt-action rifles and a portion of lever-action shotguns were dispensed into the hands of the Cadmanian People’s Army before the outbreak of the Black Plague.

“But if there’s a real war, guns alone won’t cut it!”

Brother Loyalty recalled the “skirmishes” he had participated in when he was young, and he rubbed his chin with his cool robotic hand as he thought to himself:
“The command system and liaison system is a really big problem, it is said that Loren the Short is trying to build a command network in the whole army system by using the arithmetic beads together with the users, it sounds fantastical, however, this kind of command system relies heavily on the arithmetic beads.

This thing for the player to use it is okay, really want to fight the war is afraid of too delicate.

In case of encountering complex spiritual energy environment will be ineffective, or by the spiritual energy master like Mrs. Tris to throw a wide-range silence spell can be abolished a small half of the system.

We need a contact weapon that can be used by ordinary soldiers and is cheap enough to be distributed on a large scale.

A radio? Walkie-talkies? And a simple fire control system for the artillery?
Hmm.
Pretty screwed up looking.”

Thinking of this, Brother Loyalty immediately planned to go offline to search for some drawings to study, but he suddenly realized that there was absolutely no need to do this on his own.

There were now “professionals” in his group.

That said, Moe Haha has been in the game for almost a week now, and I’ve heard that she’s been hanging out with the girls every day, not to mention reporting, not even getting a report.

Let you camouflage not let you touch fish ah! Big sister, you really came to enjoy the game fun?

No way!

Have to find something to do for this physicist, otherwise she will really become a salted fish.

“Come on, come on, come on! Load up these hardwoods and send them to the arsenal! We’re a full three days behind on our orders, and I’m afraid Brother Loyalty is going to curse.”

Not too far away from the First National Arsenal of Transylvania, in the stronghold camp at the bay of the Kardman River, Tepal, who had run here from the “newbie village” to “guide the work”, had just dismounted from his horse, when he saw Uncle Fodin in front of him urgently greeting a group of lumberjacks and loading the trucks with black hardwoods that had been preliminarily processed. The scene of black hardwoods being loaded onto the trucks by a group of lumberjacks.

Not only the workers are working, the other brothers of the Knights of the Riptide are all here to help as long as they have nothing to do.

The location they chose for their stronghold was surrounded by a large area of hardwood that could be used for gun stocks and gun bodies, so the arsenal had signed a business contract with the Knights, but they didn’t expect that there would be a problem with this first delivery.

“This motherfucker’s hardwood is particularly troublesome to handle, the old local method takes a month to process, forcing me to run to our side of the wood factory to ‘learn from the past’, and as a result, I was almost arrested by someone calling the police.

What a pain in the ass!”

Seeing the leader of the first regiment, Tepal, coming over, the leader of the second regiment, Uncle Fodin, immediately poured out his grievances.

This old middle-aged, old playing party said with a sigh:
“I am not expecting that I am over forty years old, but I am still like a student with a notebook to ask those old workers for advice.

I spent a thousand dollars on cigarettes alone, but it turned out okay.”

He added, pointing smugly at the pile of hardwoods that had finished shading and drying, and said:
“The experience imparted by others is really useful, these logs can be taken over now and put into production, I just don’t know if there are any specialized craftsmen on Brother Loyalty’s side to take care of this. I’ve heard from the old workers that making a gun body out of hardwood is a really skilled job.

That said, what are you doing over here if you’re not staying in your village?”

“There’s something I need to talk to you and the other decapods about.”

Tepal said with a serious face:
“The village chief of Hidden Treasure Bay, Mr. Huo, approached me a few hours ago, and he proposed a deal to me that would directly change the industrial layout of the Novice Village and affect the future reputation of the Knights of the Riptide, and it relates to the turmoil that we Otherworlders might create in Transylvania’s political circles.

It’s not a trivial matter by any stretch of the imagination, so I can’t make a private decision.”

“Is that so?”

Uncle Ferdin frowned.

At his age, he had eaten and seen it all and naturally knew that Tepal’s concern was not an empty one, so without saying anything more he immediately sent someone to summon the ten captains who were currently still in the large camp to come to his tent for a meeting.

But just as Uncle Fudin and Tepal were about to have a conversation, a player serving as a sentry at the entrance of the camp ran over, and this guy with the ID name “Bloodstained Sacred Lance Marcus” raised his hand in salute to the two chiefs in a dignified manner, and then said with great excitement:
“There are visitors at the entrance of the camp requesting to be received! The two captains, a group of knights! Real knights! And they’re led by two female knights, the standard blonde knight-errant!

The armor, the horses, the gallantry, the long legs. Dog planning is really too good!”

“Watch your image! New recruit!”

Tepal instantly chided:

“You represent the face of the Riptide Knights and the image of the Way of the Holy Light, you cannot judge a lady so vulgarly behind her back.”

“Ah, I was wrong, Master.”

Bloodstained Saint Gun Marcus immediately apologized.

Herein lay the benefit of being an RP party, they could properly endure some demands that seemed like blowback to other players for what they were pursuing.

Tepal didn’t pursue the matter any further as he asked:

“What did that female knight want to do when she came to us?”

“Oh, she said that she wanted to come and see how we knights are doing, and also said that she would like to become one of us if possible.”

Marcus said with an odd expression, an answer that made both Tepal and Uncle Fording surprised.

In their plans, the Riptide Knights would definitely be recruiting NPCs in the future so that there would be enough there to play and feel a sense of immersion, however this would be something like having NPCs come forward to join them even before the strongholds were built, something that had never materialized even in the two guys’ fondest dreams.

“Invite her in to the camp first, we’ll have a chat before anything else.”

Uncle Fording, who was occasionally a bit amusing but mostly old-fashioned, made the decision, and so a few minutes later, in the center tent of this large camp, the two vanguard chiefs were met by Miss Bikki and her escort knight, Liwen.

Though they all called themselves knights, the meeting was a moment of judgment.

The knight’s plate armor on Miss Becky’s body was polished and glittering with a cold light, and there was also a family motto engraved on it, together with the knight’s huge sword and the sword on her waist, the whip in her hand, and the cloak behind her.

Although not wearing a helmet also reveals a “professional style”.

Li Wen knight’s dress is a little “simple”, but her full body armor still look around the small players with envy.

On the other hand, Tepal and Uncle Fudin were shabbily dressed.

Although they had also done their best to exchange the Veteran’s Suit from the People’s Army’s Quartermaster through the brush of prestige, the chainmail armor was far inferior to the two female knights in terms of appearance and quality.

Moreover, even if the playing party was more dedicated, it could only be considered as a “plaything”, whereas Becky had been trained as a knight since she was a child until she grew up.

She has a flavor that belongs to “knights” that the small players can’t show no matter what.

Therefore, in comparison, this scene was like an epic meeting between a formal knight and a wandering knight, not to mention the shame, in front of such a “uniquely modeled” NPC, even Tepal felt a little weak.

However, Ms. Becky has always been unconventional.

After meeting with the two Knight Commanders, she didn’t even say a word of courtesy before taking out a handwritten letter from her bag and handing it to Uncle Ferdin, saying with a big grin:
“I, Adeline Bikki Xavier, having finally gained the championship in Scarlet Castle’s Fighter’s Tournament and been recognized by my elders, was able to apply for membership in the Knights of the Riptide today with my squire Knight, Livin Hood, on the recommendation of His Excellency Kudel, the Bailiff Officer!

My grandfather told me that you are all warriors from the Otherworld, upholding the moral principle called ‘Holy Light’ and combining wisdom and courage in your determination to shed your loyalty and blood on this suffering land.

This is the life I have always aspired to, and the perfect starting point for me to truly live out my knightly ways!
I will command my guard knights to become honorary members of the Knights of the Riptide and join you in the war against the Black Plague.

I firmly believe that we will eventually drink the wine of victory together on the battlefield!”

Bikki spoke impassionately with her trademark exuberant stance, but Tepal and Uncle Ferdin would be dumbfounded.

Wait wait wait!

Uncle Ferdin looked at the recommendation letter from Baron Kudel in his hand and shouted in his heart:
“Wait a minute, this blonde female knight, first let’s run through what’s going on.”

He thought so, but as he opened that letter of recommendation, the vibration from the arithmetic pearl made him realize that he had triggered a random event as well as a hidden quest:
[Ding! Hidden Plot Branch Quest-‘Silver Dawn Xavier’ has been triggered!

Quest Description: A young lady from a knight family in the Anjou region chose to join the Knights of the Riptide under her grandfather’s guidance. Lord Kudel’s intention was to have his granddaughter see the cruelty of war and treat her life more rationally, instead of placing all her life’s hopes in chasing after an impossible cause.

But that doesn’t mean that Kudel doesn’t have expectations for his granddaughter, who he hopes will become the first female Grail Knight on the continent.

As the only official civil knight order that currently exists on the land of Transylvania, you may have this duty to help an innocent young girl with an ideal in her heart.

Perhaps it would be quite good to see it as the starting point of the legend of the Knights of the Riptide.

Base Goal: Help Aedryn Bikki Xavier safely survive the Black Plague and gain fame.

Advancement Goal: Help Adeline Bikki Xavier become a Knight of the Holy Grail.

Hidden Goal: Guide Adeline Bitch-Heavier to become a Holy Light Believer.

Time Limit: Lasts until the end of the Black Plague.

Quest Reward: Official Transylvanian Army Establishment, Fort Riptide Supplies Replenishment, Nantes Ranger’s Family Knight Treasure Chest Key X12.

Dev Team Tip!

The family that Miss Becky comes from is the largest military material operator in the Anjou region, and the armor and weapons produced by the Xavier family are among the truly fine products in the entire Golden Sparrow Kingdom.

Perhaps you guys can try to get some of the help you need to build the Knights from her].

“Shit! Is this the development team seeing that our Knights Order is having trouble developing so they swiped a ‘Big Daddy’ for us out of thin air?”

Uncle Fording exclaimed in his mind as he shared the quest with Tepal:
“Development Team! You are my god!”
