After returning to the hall, Abel told the Knight Marshall everything that had happened and took out the parchment map.
The Knight Marshall took the map and looked at it carefully for a while. The Knight Marshall could understand part of the orc language, so the Knight could roughly guess what was written on the map.
"This is too important, Abel. With this map, we can stop the orcs from entering the human world." The Knight Marshall held the map and paced back and forth in the room, carefully thinking about how to maximize the value of this map.
"The orcs that have appeared this time are probably not low level. Although I don't know how many orcs there are, the wolf Knight I met was above level six. Our castle doesn't have enough manpower to stop them." Abel said with a little worry.
"Of course it won't be our castle that will stop them. I will give the map to the Castellan. If we succeed this time and kill enough orcs, it will be enough for you to get a noble title." The Knight Marshall said with a little excitement. Then he remembered Abel's adventure and said, "During this time, no matter what, you can't go out alone. If you want to go out, you have to take a team of guards with you."
"Don't tell anyone about that mount wolf. I will ask everyone in the castle to keep it a secret." The Knight Marshall sighed and said, "Although this mount has already recognized its master, I'm afraid that some people will not give up and try to take it back."
"I'll listen to you." Abel knew that the Knight Marshall had more to say about the character of the nobles than he did. After all, Black Wind was still young, and it would take a few years for him to reach adulthood. In a few years, he would be strong enough, and no one would be able to take his things by force. In fact, the Knight Marshall and Abel didn't know enough about the Blacksmith's Guild. If Master Bentham was here, he would tell them the price of stealing a Blacksmith's Guild from the human world to the continent.
"Do you still have that large animal trap?" The Knight Marshall was very curious about the traps that could harm the wolf riders. He knew how scary the wolf riders were.
"No, there are ten in total. They were all thrown in the forest behind the castle, but I've marked them. I'll get them back tomorrow." Abel replied. He didn't expect the Knight Marshall to be interested in large traps.
"Can other blacksmiths copy it?" Knight Marshall asked with concern.
"It's very difficult to replicate. There's a part that I forged using a special method." Abel was now very clear about the level of blacksmiths in this world. The steel that could be used to make springs was a special kind of steel. It had to go through a lot of carburizing to reduce the strength of the steel and ensure the elasticity of the steel. Apart from the Dwarven Masters, no one in the human world could make it.
"Can it be mass-produced? I think if the castle is equipped with such a large trap, it can enhance the castle's defensive ability. "
"Yes, I just need to make the key parts. The other parts have already been made by the blacksmiths." Abel explained.
"If you have time, make some key parts and equip the castle with the large trap as soon as possible." The Knight Marshall impatiently asked. He then said, "Tomorrow, you can tell the scouts the mark. You don't have to go out anymore. The blacksmiths have been moved to the castle these days. Tomorrow, you can stay in the castle and don't go out."
When he returned to his room in the evening, Steward Lindsay brought him some heated sheep's milk. Abel found a piece of gerbil skin to make it easier to feed Black Wind.
Gerbils were similar to mice on Earth. The skin of gerbils was very thin and soft. It was often made into small objects. Abel called the maid and told her his idea. Soon, the maid brought the finished product. It was an ugly, but very practical milk bottle with a nipple.
When the nipple was placed in front of Black Wind's mouth, Black Wind, who was already very hungry, bit the nipple with his little teeth and sucked the sheep's milk vigorously. His little face was full of satisfaction.
When he was on Earth, Abel didn't have a pet, so he didn't know what it was like to have a pet. But now, he finally understood the thoughts of those who treated their pets as their own children. Now, Abel felt this way.
That night, the Knight of Marshall sent someone to deliver a parchment map to Viscount Dickens. In order to gain Viscount Dickens' trust, the Knight of Marshall had to deliver the map along with the dead body of the werewolf. Originally, the Knight of Marshall should have been the one to do this, but under the current circumstances, he had to stay in the castle.
The next day, after Abel got up, he found a temporary blacksmith shop in the warehouse behind the castle.
Abel found Master Bentham and asked him to help him make the rough blanks of a hundred skills. He also gathered all the blacksmiths to make the other parts under the guidance of the experienced blacksmiths. The whole blacksmith shop began to get busy.
Abel was very familiar with making the thick compression springs used to make large animal traps. At the rate of fifteen a day, he made three days in a row. The other blacksmiths were not slow either. After three days, all the parts were ready. Under the guidance of Abel, they began to install the large animal traps.
The body of the large animal trap was made of black steel, and the sawtooth on the plywood was shining with a cold light. In order to achieve better results, Master Bentham had personally sharpened all of the sawtooth. Once the sawtooth bit into the body of the prey, it would cause a lot of damage.
Even the ten large animal traps that Abel set up in the forest were all found by the experienced scouts according to Abel's markings.
After the large animal traps were made, the Marshall Knight tested the newly improved large animal traps. He pressed a section of the tree trunk on the trigger. The tree trunk was deeply cut by the sawtooth. If this was the leg of a werewolf, then the werewolf would lose its ability to move. The Marshall Knight was very satisfied with this large animal trap.
In fact, if it were not for the fact that there were many orc squads acting together, the orc squads would not attack the castle. The high walls of the castle were not good for their cavalry. A forceful attack would only cause a large number of casualties. Even a level 6 or 7 wolf rider would not be able to cross the high walls. The orc's technical level was not enough to make sophisticated siege weapons. The castle itself was designed to defend against small scale battles like this.
The orc squads generally targeted villages that were not protected by high walls. It was easier to succeed there, and there would not be casualties.
The large animal traps were only placed to strengthen some of the blind spots of the castle's defense. All of the territory's residents were concentrated in the castle, so the Marshall Knight placed the large animal traps in the forest behind the castle. There were tall trees 30 meters away from the castle walls, blocking the view. If the orcs wanted to attack the castle, then trees were a necessary siege material. Placing the large animal traps there would make it difficult for the orcs to make siege weapons, and it would also alert the guards in the castle that there was an enemy attack.
After finishing all these things, Abel finally had a chance to calm down and think about the last battle.
For a long time, Abel thought that his strength was enough to protect himself. However, the battle with the worgen made him realize the gap between him and an official profession. A level 5 novice Knight and an official profession was only one level apart, but because of the use of combat qi, an official profession's combat qi could almost crush a novice profession.
Abel had almost no ability to resist against the worgen that was injured. In terms of speed, the worgen was faster than him even though it was injured. If it wasn't for his good luck, it would have been hard to say who would have won the battle.
Beginner official professions could use combat qi to increase their strength, and intermediate professions could add combat qi to their weapons. Just like the Marshall Knight's last battle outside Harvest City, the glowing sword was the result of adding combat qi to it. After adding combat qi, the weapon would be sharper, and the strength would be increased as well. The increase was even greater than when he was a beginner, reaching 100 points.
