Tang Shidao and Bai Bi were making weapons, and the others were also active.
Two 'strong generals' young men appeared in the outer city of Hushan City, and the rich and powerful people in the city naturally received the news. However, because Tang Shidao and Bai Bi were worried about breaking the wooden sticks, they did not attack with all their strength, so in the eyes of onlookers, their score was not reduced.
Few. Furthermore, the people watching were not intelligence experts. Most of them were illiterate people who couldn't even write their names. How much could they be expected to see?
on the other hand.
The powerful and wealthy people were just stunned when they heard about it. In the end, it was the lame old sentry who finished the attack, and their impression of the two of them was even lower.
The black wolves are more villains than hunters.
Being able to defeat such a group of people... Hmm, he has some ability, but he is not considered a top-notch talent. For now, just stay on the sidelines and find out where he comes from before making any calculations. In addition, a warrior who is brave against humans may not be useful against monsters.
In Hushan City, we need experts who can deal with monsters, rather than stupid people who can only deal with people.
at this time.
In the Iron Hand Shop, Tang Shidao is working with Bai Bi to build his own weapons.
Because of the needs of war, weapons and materials here have very high craftsmanship. In contrast, the status of weapon craftsmen is also quite high. Generally speaking, the ancient dynasties are all literati, but this kind of war years have not been their turn. Here
Not to mention that kind of literati, they don't even have a theoretical system of benevolence, righteousness and morality... No one accepts that.
The planet has magical energy, agricultural crops have good harvests almost every year, the society is relatively stable, and the most prosperous thing is naturally industry and commerce.
"...The method of advancing civilization is not feasible." During the creation, Bai Bi kept explaining previous examples as a reference for Tang Shidao in completing tasks: "Someone did it a long time ago, and the results were tragic. Human mages only have limited power and limited knowledge.
No restrictions. It’s easy to invent things like cement, gunpowder, and glass.”
"What's the result?" Tang Shidao didn't read much information. He just felt that this method that everyone thought of could not be successful.
"This will fail faster. More than a dozen people have tried it, single-handedly pushing the slave society to the early industrial age and turning ancient soldiers into warriors with muskets and cannons. But by the time they reacted, the monsters had already
It turned from a few meters to a behemoth of dozens of meters. A group of ancient people used muskets and cannons, and faced a behemoth of dozens of meters, they just ended up being crushed."
"Depending on the level of civilization, the monsters that come in are also different, right?"
"Yes... well, it's not right to say that. It should be different according to the level of technology. Some people have tried not to advance civilization and just make modern guns themselves. As a result, a very small number of behemoths with tens of meters of meters appeared.
It can be said that the monsters will be enhanced to the extent that the taskmaster lights up the technology."
"I see. It seems that inventing something is not a good thing, but a bad thing."
"Yes. Even if you take out the technology of interstellar civilization, it will be useless. Those things will not succeed. Even if your method is correct and your skills are correct, the things you create will not be effective. For example, the dark matter reactor, many people have tried to remake it.
Obviously all the processes are fine, but in the end they cannot be started. According to those who failed, it is not that the start-up failed, but that the energy above a certain level was 'stolen'."
"As expected." Tang Shidao thought of the abnormality in the atmosphere and knew that this coping mechanism had already been in place.
If you can make a Star Collapsing Cannon.
It doesn't matter how many monsters there are, they're all done with one shot. Even if a starry sky monster appears, everyone is just fighting for their skills.
The Human Jade mission will not turn into a skills competition.
It must have some meaning.
"Brother Tang, there are some people who have tried very cruel methods. They...well, they joined the rebel side and slaughtered all humans like human villains. As a result, the number of monsters coming in has become smaller and weaker.
But they were unable to succeed in the end, because the monsters that came in early were still multiplying and growing, and were still unable to be dealt with. They failed due to internal rebellion, or the number of beasts increased. In short, the population became smaller, and the danger became greater."
"These people will starve to death, right?" Tang Shidao laughed, thinking that if the strategy was so simple, the jade of people would have been played with as glass beads.
"Yes. Because there was too much massacre, some mages were besieged by monsters and had no one to save them. They eventually starved to death."
"I understand what you mean, I won't mess around. Trust me, don't worry, the Jade Plane of Humanity is like a delicate balance. It will not tilt towards monsters, nor will it tilt towards humans. If we want to increase the weight, we
We need to find a more special method." Tang Shidao smiled.
Bai Bi didn't quite understand.
However, knowing that advancing technology and reducing population are useless.
Think about it.
"Um...Brother Tang, Sister Ying has successfully killed all the monsters because she has been cultivating for more than three hundred years. In addition to being much stronger, luck also plays an important role. The people in her time were very martial and very talented.
It is rare for a brave person to be united. So, she led a group of people to defeat the monster." Bai Bi mentioned the sister who successfully killed the monster.
"Can you still live so long? As long as the mage himself?"
"right."
"This is not necessarily a good thing. In their eyes, our 'immortality' is a manifestation of monsters. Besides, she didn't succeed in killing all the monsters... I guess she didn't kill them all. Maybe someone did something without telling her. Or,
There are still some monsters hiding that have not been killed. She was too reckless to enter the investigation portal. If I wanted to do this, I would choose a way to be 'dragged in' by the monsters, at least without arousing suspicion."
"..." Bai Bi was speechless, knowing that Sister Ying also regretted it.
Unfortunately, everyone only gets one chance.
In the Human Jade mission, there are unlucky people who are accidentally shot to death by stray bullets, and no one can guarantee what will happen to them. In this case, the mission person naturally wants to do more things and have more protection.
However, if it doesn’t work, it just won’t work. If you should regret it, you should regret it.
Five whole days.
Tang Shidao and Bai Bi were chatting while building, completely indifferent to external affairs. Zhao Daxiong came here every day and reported in detail on recent work. In addition to spending money to improve food and restore the health of the soldiers, he also arranged for the soldiers to participate in defending the city.
Support. However, it only happened twice in five days, and one of them was a pig-tooth monster that accidentally entered.
"Aren't there a lot of monsters lately?"
"Mr. Tang, due to the good weather, the hunters have been operating in a large area recently, and the number of monsters has been relatively small. Once the number is small, they will not dare to come to attack the city, and they will die if they do." Zhao Daxiong was in great spirits,
People don't seem so thin anymore.
On the surface everything seems smooth.
But he was very strange... Mr. Tang only focused on forging, as if he didn't care about anything else.
Zhao Daxiong still asked his old friend with saliva, and wanted to invite a general to come out for a review, so as to give Mr. Tang a chance to display his talents and get promoted. However, Mr. Tang refused without hesitation. In this era, either you have money or you are rich.
Either there are soldiers, but Mr. Tang only insists on making weapons. This is really puzzling.
Bai Bi also had doubts, but Tang Shidao only said: Enjoy the fun of forging, don't think too much, do things one by one.
After that, Bai Bi didn't think too much and left everything to Brother Tang to decide.
Day six.
Zhao Daxiong led the team to welcome them again. The ten people in the group were much more energetic and their bodies were no longer as weak as before. Originally, they all doubted whether the two 'boss' were serious workers, hiding from doing blacksmith work all day long. Now
Seeing Mr. Tang's frightening "horse-cutting sword", their legs were weak and they were in urgent need of urination. They also understood that they were the ones who were thinking wildly, and Mr. Tang was not doing anything serious.
If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.
Many people understand this principle, but few actually do it with a steady heart.
More than five days.
Tang Shidao worked hard to create a horse-cutting sword, and Bai Bi made a eyebrow-tip sword. At the same time, the two also created two slightly wider-edged eight-sided Han swords, as well as two sets of flying knives of different lengths and two
Assemble outdoor survival gadgets. The throwing knife and tool set are made into a belt module. The sword is on the back and the long weapon is in the hand. It is basically the same except for a crossbow.
"We don't want crossbows, we want bows. Making longbows takes too long, so we won't do it. Daxiong, go and buy two pairs of longbows. The stronger the better," Tang Shidao ordered.
Thanks to the development of crafts during the war years, the blacksmith shop sells everything.
Except ordnance.
There are ropes, animal traps, hunting nets, harpoons, and even wound medicine and poison commonly used by hunters. In addition to food, you can buy almost all the tools for hunting in the blacksmith shop. It costs a lot of money to take down a group of black wolves.
But not too much. With the right weapons, the money-making operation must begin.
"Mr. Tang, I applied with the garrison of Hushan City. I go out hunting, go out during the day, and return at night. I will wait for no one when I return late."
"What if we go too far?"
"Ask for yourself, no one will rescue you except the alliance. If you go too far and can't come back, try to hide in the fort. However, the fort is also a place that can be abandoned at any time, so it is not absolutely safe. In fact... this
When cities can be invaded these days, no place is absolutely safe." Zhao Daxiong explained as much as possible to prevent his old brain from getting heated.
"What will happen if the city is captured?"
"It depends on luck. Once the outer city wall falls, the defenders will definitely retreat to the inner city. People in the outer city can only hide in cellars, and some people enter public tunnels. During this period, if the monsters are driven away or they retreat, everyone will survive.
.If you can't escape, the people hiding will either be dug out and eaten, or they will starve to death underground."
"Isn't the tunnel useful?"
"It's easy to use, but sometimes monsters will find it. Once monsters break into the tunnel, the people inside will basically die. In short, if the city wall cannot be defended, a large number of people will definitely die. The cellar can hide not just one or two people, but a group of people."
Food cannot be eaten for several days. Sometimes the air vents are blocked, and it is not surprising that people are suffocated to death." Zhao Daxiong said: Even if the city is full of people, even if the city is trapped, the life of the people is as thin as paper.
"Big Bear, why are you participating in the defense support?"
"This... is like this, Mr. Tang, I also have some acquaintances in the army. They are just junior soldiers, not generals. When it is not too dangerous, I will give them a chance to practice their courage, and sometimes I can pick them up.
Eat some meat. If it's too dangerous, hunters generally won't help." Zhao Daxiong said that it's just a good thing to take advantage of, and ordinary people can't get involved.
"So that's it. Where is the most dangerous place to go hunting?"
"riverside."
"Why?"
"Because there are often monsters lurking in the water, small groups of hunters like us don't hunt monsters, only wild beasts."
"Yeah." Tang Shidao listened.
But listening is listening, whether to act or not is another matter.
As a veteran, Zhao Daxiong must have objected to hunting close to the river. Tang Shidao decided to do so, and he persuaded him twenty-six times. However, three hours later, Zhao Daxiong and his party struggled to drag a 13-meter-long
, the crocodile monster with 6 legs and a back full of thorns came back. When they entered the city, the guards were dumbfounded. Zhao Daxiong and the other ten soldiers laughed like children with a split mouth.
Walking past his old friend, Zhao Daxiong gestured with two fingers and couldn't hide his pride: "Two arrows, just two arrows."
The old guard friend was shocked.
Take a closer look.
Only then did I realize that there were really two long arrows in the eyes of the crocodile monster. They barely reached the arrow feathers and penetrated deeply into the brain. If you don't look carefully, you can hardly see them.
Then listen to the roar of the onlookers.
The guards knew...that a 'real tiger' was coming to Hushan City.
