337, Weapon-making technology that can change the world structure
In just ten days, Tongguan City was attacked by two more waves of spiritual insects.
However, the number of spiritual insects was not too large, and Ge Changlong and the soldiers from Tongguan City blocked them all.
However, after these waves of spiritual insect attacks, Tongguan City has already felt that it is struggling.
After several battles, the number of soldiers killed in Tongguan City has reached 20%.
If Jin Kui's unexpected arrival hadn't brought a Tianzun guard to enhance Tongguan City's high-end combat power, I'm afraid Tongguan City would have suffered even greater casualties.
The magic weapons promised by Jin Kui have not yet been delivered. Although he has some magic weapons with him, they will not have any effect on the war situation.
Ge Changlong now only hopes that his cheap second brother can bring him a surprise.
But he didn't have high expectations.
After all, in a short period of time, even if Zhou Shu and Jin Kui worked together, they could forge a dozen magic weapons, which would already be the limit.
How much impact can a dozen magic weapons have on a war?
Ge Changlong has finally experienced the horror of the insect plague in person. His confidence at the beginning has now been reduced by more than half.
Spirit insects are not so easy to deal with.
"City Lord, the person has been chosen."
Ma Qianli came to Ge Changlong and said in a deep voice.
"Three thousand elites are all top-notch masters. There is absolutely no problem in dealing with spirit insects one against ten."
"Very well, collect all the magic weapons in the city and equip them for these three thousand people. Make sure that everyone has a magic weapon."
Ge Changlong nodded and said.
"City Lord——"
Ma Qianli hesitated for a moment and then said, "City Lord, I counted the magic weapons in the city. After this loss, there are less than 2,000 magic weapons in the city..."
Ge Changlong frowned, the situation was worse than he expected.
The huge Tongguan City has less than 2,000 magic weapons?
He rubbed his brows. Originally, he had planned to gather three thousand soldiers and attack the enemy's base.
Unexpectedly, Tongguan City didn’t even have three thousand divine soldiers.
"The deputy city lord's side——"
Ge Changlong was silent for a moment and said.
Before he even finished asking, he shook his head.
Wu Zongquan and Jin Kui are just two people. Even if they are covered in iron, how many nails can they drive?
"Forget it, minus a thousand or two thousand people, we may not be able to wipe out the spiritual insect's nest!"
Ge Changlong said in a deep voice.
He has already obtained detailed information about the spirit insect nest from Zhou Shu. That information is all first-hand information obtained from the spirit insect in Mu Zhi Xing's dream.
There are certainly a lot of spirit insects in the spirit insect lair, but the terrain there is special and there are two to three thousand strong men. Ge Changlong has the information to fight with them.
At present, the number of spiritual insects is not too large, so it is the best time to clear them out.
"What two thousand people?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly remembered, and then Zhou Shu and Jin Kui were seen coming side by side.
"Brother, are you ready to send troops?"
Zhou Shu said, "Are you going to lead two thousand people to destroy the spirit insect nest?"
"Two thousand people are enough."
Ge Changlong forced a smile and said, "As a brother, I will lead it myself. The spirit insect nest is not suitable for too many people to attack and kill. There are two thousand people, which is enough."
"It's a pity that time is running out. Otherwise, if each of these two thousand people could hold a tiger-wing sword, I would be more confident."
Ge Changlong said regretfully.
"Two thousand people..."
Jin Kui pondered, "This is a bit difficult, it will take at least two months -"
"Yes, what we lack most is time."
Ge Changlong nodded. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. He widened his eyes and looked at Jin Kui, "How long do you think it will take?"
"Two months."
Jin Kui said, "Two months is a long time. With the reproduction speed of spiritual insects, the number may double in two months."
"Two months?"
Ge Changlong's breathing became a little heavy. Two thousand magic weapons in two months?
Isn’t this a dream?
"If we can really get two thousand magic weapons in two months, then it's not impossible to wait."
Ge Changlong swallowed and said.
He is indeed the deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion. When he talks about two thousand magic weapons, it is like talking about two thousand taels of silver.
Ge Changlong now thought that Jin Kui wanted to purchase the magic weapons from Tiangong Pavilion, but he did not expect that Jin Kui said that they would forge the magic weapons themselves.
Two thousand magic weapons can be cast in two months. Not to mention only two weapon casters, even twenty weapon casters cannot do it.
Ge Changlong didn't think about that at all.
"Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, can you really deliver the two thousand magic weapons from Tiangong Pavilion in two months?"
Ge Changlong asked with gleaming eyes.
"Two thousand magical weapons in Tiangong Pavilion? What do you mean?"
Jin Kui was stunned for a moment, a little confused.
"Tiangong Pavilion will not send magic weapons here."
"Then what you just said is——"
Ge Changlong was also puzzled.
Didn’t you just say that you could have two thousand magic weapons in two months?
You don’t admit it right after you export it?
Can the master of Tiangong Pavilion do this?
"I mean, if we have two months, brother Zongquan and I can forge two thousand magic weapons."
Jin Kui reacted and said with a smile.
"What?"
Ge Changlong's eyes widened.
Jin Kui smiled even happier. He was very satisfied with Ge Changlong's reaction and wanted this effect!
When he, Jin Kui, first saw Zhou Shu's speed in forging soldiers, he was really shocked.
Forging two thousand magic weapons in two months, let alone Ge Changlong, even Jin Kui would never believe it before.
"Brother Zongquan, let him see it."
Jin Kui turned his head, looked at Zhou Shu, and said with a smile.
Ge Changlong also looked at Zhou Shu curiously, wondering what officials the two were selling.
Zhou Shu smiled slightly and clapped his hands.
Immediately, a group of people came forward carrying a bunch of magic weapons.
Ge Changlong took a closer look and saw that what those people were carrying was a tiger-wing knife.
There are dozens of tiger-wing knives, I’m afraid I don’t have to have two or three hundred of them!
"This is?"
Ge Changlong's face was full of disbelief.
"Tiger-wing knives, three hundred."
Zhou Shu smiled and said, "Brother, fortunately, I have lived up to my mission. In ten days, Deputy Pavilion Master Jin and I made a total of three hundred tiger-wing knives, which are just enough for you, brother!"
"In ten days, three hundred tiger-wing knives were cast?"
Ge Changlong swallowed. Even though he was not a weapon maker, he knew how difficult this matter was.
If it weren't for the facts before his eyes, he would never believe that someone could cast three hundred tiger-wing knives in ten days!
"How did you do it?"
Ge Changlong asked subconsciously.
"It's very simple. Deputy Pavilion Master Jin and I worked together to transform the process of casting weapons. We created an assembly line casting method that can greatly increase the speed of casting weapons."
Zhou Shu explained and said, "Of course, it wasn't just the two of us who did it. There were hundreds of weapon-making apprentices helping us."
Ge Changlong didn't listen to Zhou Shu's words at all. It didn't matter how many weapon-casting apprentices were involved.
The important thing is that Zhou Shu and Jin Kui really forged three hundred magic weapons in ten days!
Ge Changlong was so excited that he was shaking all over. Three hundred weapons in ten days. In those two months, it is really possible to cast two thousand magic weapons!
Tongguan City is about to be launched!
This second brother said before that he wanted to give himself a surprise, but he didn’t expect that this was really a surprise!
"Is this assembly line art of war really so powerful?"
Ge Changlong is not a weapon maker, and he is not very interested in the art of weapon casting, but now he is very curious about what kind of method can allow two weapon makers to cast so many magical weapons in such a short period of time.
Soldier.
"Of course."
Jin Kui said with some excitement, Zhou Shu said that he and himself created this assembly line art of war. This is so loyal!
What is this? This is an opportunity to leave a mark in history!
From now on, no weapon-casting division can surpass the name Jin Kui!
To be honest, for Jin Kui, his status has almost reached its limit. Unless he can become the master of Tiangong Pavilion, other things will have very little appeal to him. p>
But he really couldn't refuse the honor of creating the assembly line art of war.
With this honor, he will truly leave his own name in the history of the art of weapon casting!
"Master Katsuragi, you are not a weapon maker, and you don't understand the importance of this method. Let me tell you this, this assembly line weapon casting method is one of the greatest creations since the art of weapon casting. It is enough to change the process of weapon casting.
The pattern of art!"
Jin Kui said excitedly.
"So powerful?"
Ge Changlong said in shock.
"What do you think?"
Jin Kui said, "Just look at the effect. Three hundred magic weapons were cast in ten days. Have you ever heard of anyone who has done it? Let me tell you, there are so many weapon casters in Tiangong Pavilion. Do you know that there is only one in Tiangong Pavilion?"
How many magical weapons can the moon cast?"
"A thousand pieces!"
"With the assembly line weapon casting method, a weapon casting division can cast two to three hundred magic weapons in one month!"
Simple numbers clearly explain the effect of the assembly line military strategy.
Not only Ge Changlong, but also Ma Qianli and other generals all took a deep breath.
This assembly line military casting method can make a military casting division comparable to one-third of a Tiangong Pavilion?
Tongguan City now has two weapon-casting divisions. Doesn’t that mean that Tongguan City is equivalent to more than half of Tiangong Pavilion?
Thinking about this kind of thing makes people a little excited.
"City Lord, with the help of Deputy City Lord Wu and Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, how can Tongguan City be affected by the plague of spiritual insects?"
Ma Qianli said excitedly.
Ma Qianli has also witnessed the lethality of the tiger-wing knife against spiritual insects. He can imagine that if the soldiers in Tongguan City were equipped with tiger-wing knives, it would definitely be more powerful than a tiger. Killing spiritual insects is like chopping melons and vegetables. p>
"Second brother, I regret a little."
Ge Changlong suddenly said.
"What do you regret?"
Zhou Shu said doubtfully.
"I shouldn't have left you in Tongguan City. You are a genius. Tongguan City is too small and will only hinder your progress. I am too selfish."
Ge Changlong said.
Ge Changlong's words made Zhou Shu laugh a little, and said, "Brother, you are overthinking. Tongguan City is also my home, and it is my responsibility to protect it."
"Besides, I'm not sure what will happen in the future."
Zhou Shu said meaningfully.
Ge Changlong has a deep brotherly relationship with him now, but that won't be the case once he knows his true identity.
Zhou Shu forged the magic weapon not for Ge Changlong, but because Zhou Shu himself took a fancy to Tongguan City.
Tongguan City is a checkpoint for his world to enter this world. If he doesn't control it, how will Zhou Shu bring his brothers and relatives over in the future?
Ge Changlong didn't think so much. Although three hundred tiger-wing knives were not enough, they were enough to equip an elite force.
"Second brother, since you have this ability, then I don't have to take risks."
Ge Changlong muttered, "Two months, we can wait."
"If I can have two thousand tiger-wing knives, then I will be more confident in wiping out the spiritual insects."
The spiritual insect lair is, after all, a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. Even Ge Changlong is not sure of victory. He said that before just to protect the face of his city lord and brother.
"I don't have one, but brother, we can wait for two months, but the spirit insects may not give us this time."
Zhou Shu said, "As long as that mutated spirit insect is still in the city, the spirit insects will continue to attack the city for it."
"Simple, just kill."
Ge Changlong waved his hand and said, "Throw the body outside the city. Are those bugs still thinking of revenge?"
In Ge Changlong's eyes, spiritual insects are just insects and have no emotions at all.
Zhou Shu shook his head, "I don't know whether the spirit insect will take revenge, but I think this spirit insect cannot be killed."
"We don't know how it mutated, and we don't know what kind of reaction the spirit insect will have if we actually kill it."
"I think if you keep it, it may have greater use."
"It's not important. The reproduction speed of spiritual insects is certain. Even if they keep coming, it's just a food delivery."
Ge Changlong said nonchalantly, "With the supply of tiger-wing knives, am I still afraid of them? Their coming will just give me the opportunity to practice swordsmanship in Tongguan City."
"Second brother, you don't have to worry about the spiritual insects. You just need to go all out to build the soldiers. If you are missing anything, just tell me directly."
Ge Changlong patted his chest and said, "From now on, all the weapons-making materials in the city are yours to use. Even if you demolish my city lord's mansion, it doesn't matter!"
"As for the spirit insects, that is the responsibility of us reckless men!"
"Anything is fine?"
Jin Kui pondered and said, "Lord Gecheng, I heard that there is a Yuanshi mine in Tongguan City. If there are one or two Yuanshi mines for us to learn from, maybe..."
"Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, if you want to seek death, that's your business, but don't involve me and my second brother!"
Before Jin Kui finished speaking, Ge Changlong interrupted him.
"Even if Tongguan City is completely destroyed, Yuanshi cannot move!"
Ge Changlong said in a deep voice, "Whoever moves will die!"
Ge Changlong's expression was extremely solemn, with a hint of fear.
Zhou Shu looked a little strange. After getting in touch with him these days, he knew that Ge Changlong was not a person who was very afraid of death.
When dealing with spirit insects, he has been on the front line. Although those spirit insects may not pose a threat to his life, his character can still be seen.
Ge Changlong also said before that even if he died together with the spirit insects, he would not hesitate.
A person who is not afraid of death would react like this when Yuan Shi is mentioned.
Is it possible that the consequences of touching Yuanshi are more terrifying than death?
Jin Kui snorted coldly. His original purpose in coming to Tongguan City was to contact Yuanshi.
Although he has changed his mind now and no longer wants to be the master of Tiangong Pavilion, he still wants to study Yuanshi if given the chance.
As a weapon maker, there is absolutely no one who is unwilling to study Yuanshi. Being able to use Yuanshi to forge divine weapons is the dream of all weapon makers.
But looking at Ge Changlong's appearance, it should be impossible to get Yuanshi from Tongguan City.
"If Tongguan City is really destroyed, Yuanshi will be the food in the bellies of those spiritual insects."
Jin Kui snorted coldly, "We're going to die guarding them. It's better to use them to forge magic weapons. Maybe we can still save Tongguan City."
"I said, it's your business if you want to die, don't drag us with you!"
Ge Changlong's face turned cold and he stared at Jin Kui and said, "Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, I advise you not to have Yuan Shi's ideas, otherwise I will never let you go!"
"Spiritual insects can't swallow Yuanshi. They don't have that ability. Even if Tongguan City is destroyed, Yuanshi will be fine. This is something that Deputy Pavilion Master Bu Laojin has to worry about."
"Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, you can do anything in Tongguan City, even if it's murder and arson, I can do it for you, but only Yuanshi, don't touch it, don't even think about it!"
"Otherwise, even if you are the deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion, I will kill you on the spot without any negotiation!"
Ge Changlong exuded a fierce aura. Judging from his appearance, if Jin Kui really dared to touch Yuan Shi, he would really dare to kill Jin Kui.
Jin Kui's brows also furrowed. Having spoken to this extent, his idea of contacting Yuan Shi must have been in vain.
"Brother, calm down."
Zhou Shu smiled and said, "Deputy Pavilion Master Jin didn't have any other intentions. We weapon builders are full of curiosity about the materials for weapon casting, and he is just curious."
"Everyone, calm down, we are all in the same boat now, and we still need to work together to tide over the difficulties."
"Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, if you want Yuanshi, there is no chance. As long as we can eliminate the insect plague and save Tongguan City this time, it will be a great achievement. By then, maybe the higher-ups will give you some Yuanshi?" Zhou Shu said.
Ge Changlong's face softened slightly and he said, "Yes, if we can eliminate the insect plague, I will help you apply when you submit your merits to the superiors. If the superiors agree, then you may have a chance to get Yuanshi."
"Don't worry, this pavilion master will not touch other people's things without permission."
Jin Kui also walked down the steps and said, "If we can really save Tongguan City, Lord Gecheng, I hope you won't break your promise!"
"Of course."
Ge Changlong said, "I will apply to the higher-ups, but I can't guarantee whether I can apply, Deputy Pavilion Master Jin. To be honest, I have never heard of anyone who has been rewarded by the higher-ups with Yuanshi."
"That's natural. I, Jin Kui, am not an unreasonable person. No matter what the outcome is, as long as Lord Katsuragi keeps your promise, I, Jin Kui, will accept your love!"
"Okay, that's it."
Zhou Shu clapped his hands and said, "The most urgent task is to cast more tiger-wing knives, so that our Tongguan City will be even more powerful!"
"Whether we want to save Tongguan City or get Yuanshi, the first thing we have to do is to completely eliminate these spiritual insects. If we can't do this, everything else will be in vain."
