While Tang Shidao and Bai Bi were forging weapons, the others were also active.
Naturally, the nobles and rich people in the city received the news that two "fierce generals" had appeared in the outer city of Tiger Mountain City. However, because Tang Shidao and Bai Bi were worried that the wooden stick would break, they didn't attack with all their strength, so in the eyes of the onlookers, they were much lower. Moreover, the people present were not intelligence experts. Most of them were illiterates who couldn't even write their names, so they couldn't be expected to see much.
On the other hand.
When the nobles and rich people heard that they were only knocked out and that it was a lame old sentinel who finished the job, their impression of the two was even lower.
The Black Wolves were more villains than hunters.
To be able to defeat such a group of people … Well, they were somewhat capable, but they weren't top-notch talents. For now, they just had to wait and see. They had to figure out their background before making any calculations. In addition, it might not be of much use to deal with demons when dealing with brave and fierce martial artists. Tiger Mountain City needed more experts against monsters, not hotheads who only knew how to deal with people.
At this moment.
In the Iron Hand Shop, Tang Shidao and Bai Bi were forging their own weapons.
Because of the demands of war, the weapons and materials here were all very sophisticated. Relatively, the status of weaponsmiths was also quite high. Generally, the ancient dynasties were dominated by scholars, but this kind of war period was not their turn. Here, not to mention scholars, there wasn't even a theoretical system of benevolence and morality … Nobody would buy that.
The planet had magic energy, and the crops were harvested almost every year. The society was relatively stable, and the most prosperous was naturally the industry and commerce.
"… The method of advancing civilization is not feasible." During the forging, Bai Bi kept explaining previous examples as a reference for Tang Shidao to do missions. "Someone did it a long time ago, and the result was terrible. Human Mages were only limited in power, but not in knowledge. It was easy to invent things like cement, gunpowder, and glass. "
"What was the result?" Tang Shidao didn't read much information. He only felt that this method that everyone thought of was impossible to succeed.
"It failed faster this way. A dozen people tried it. They pushed the slave society into the early industrial era on their own, turning the ancient soldiers into warriors with guns and cannons. But by the time they reacted, the monsters had already grown from a few meters to dozens of meters in size. A group of ancient people using guns and cannons only ended up being crushed in the face of a giant beast that was dozens of meters long. "
"Depending on the level of the civilization, the monsters that come in will be different, right?"
"That's right … Well, that's not quite right either. It should be different depending on the level of technology. Some people tried not to advance civilization and only created modern guns and cannons. In the end, there were also a few giant beasts that were dozens of meters long. It can be said that the monsters will be strengthened to the extent that the person on the mission has developed the technology. "
"I see. It seems that inventing something is not a good thing, but a bad thing. "
"Yes. Even if they brought out the technology of the galactic civilization, it would be useless. Those things would never succeed. Even if your method is correct and your skill is correct, the item you create will not take effect. For example, some people had tried to recreate the dark matter reactor. There was clearly no problem with the craftsmanship, but in the end, it could not be activated. According to those who failed, it's not that the activation was unsuccessful, but that the energy above a certain level was' stolen '. "
"As expected." Tang Shidao thought of the abnormality in the atmosphere and knew that there was a response mechanism in place.
If he could create the star crippling cannon.
So what if there were more monsters? One shot would be enough. Even if the giant beasts appeared, everyone would just compete with their skills.
The mission of the Human Jade would not become a competition of skills.
It must have some meaning.
"Big Brother Tang, there were also some people who tried very cruel methods. They … Well, they joined the rebels and slaughtered all the humans in the way of human villains. In the end, the monsters that came in became fewer and weaker. But in the end, they were unable to succeed because the monsters that came in earlier were still multiplying and growing. They were still unable to deal with them. Their failure was due to internal rebellions or the increase in the number of beasts. In short, the fewer the population, the greater the danger. "
"Some of these people starved to death, right?" Tang Shidao laughed. He thought that if the strategy was so simple, the Human Jade would have long been played with like glass beads.
"Yes. Because there was too much slaughter, some mages were surrounded by monsters. Without anyone to help them, they starved to death. "
"I know what you mean. I won't mess around. Trust me, don't be anxious. The Human Jade Plane is like a delicate balance. It will not tilt towards the monsters, nor will it tilt towards the humans. If we want to increase the weight, we need to find a more special method. "Tang Shidao smiled.
Bai Bi did not quite understand.
However, she knew that advancing technology and reducing the population were useless.
She thought about it.
"That … Big Brother Tang, Big Sister Ying successfully killed all the monsters because she cultivated for more than 300 years. In addition to her strength, luck also played an important role. The people at her time were very martial and very brave. What's more, they were very united. So, she led a group of people to defeat the monsters. "Bai Bi mentioned the sister who successfully killed the monsters.
"She can live so long? Like the mages themselves? "
"Yes."
"That's not necessarily a good thing. In their eyes, us' not aging 'is a manifestation of the monsters. Besides, she didn't succeed in killing all the monsters … I think she didn't kill all the monsters. Maybe someone did something behind her back. Or maybe, there are still some monsters hiding and not killing them all. It was too rash of her to enter the investigation portal. If I wanted to do that, I would choose to be 'dragged in' by the monsters. At least it wouldn't arouse suspicion. "
"…" Bai Bi was speechless. She knew that Big Sister Ying also regretted it.
Unfortunately, each person only had one chance.
In the Human Jade Mission, there were unlucky people who were accidentally shot to death by stray bullets. No one could guarantee what would happen. Under such circumstances, the mission takers naturally wanted to do more to have more protection.
However, no was no. Those who should regret it would regret it.
For a full five days.
Tang Shidao and Bai Bi chatted as they forged, completely ignoring the outside world. Zhao Daxiong came over every day to report in detail. In addition to spending money to improve the food and let the soldiers recover, he also arranged for the soldiers to participate in the defense of the city. However, it only happened twice in five days, and one of them was a boar-toothed monster that accidentally barged in.
"There aren't many monsters recently?"
"Young Master Tang, because of the good weather, the hunters have been active in a large area recently, so there are fewer monsters. With fewer monsters, they won't dare to attack the city. If they do, they'll just die. "Zhao Daxiong was in high spirits, and he didn't seem as thin as before.
On the surface, everything was going smoothly.
However, he found it strange … Young Master Tang was only focused on forging, as if he didn't care about anything else.
Zhao Daxiong even asked an old friend to invite a general for a check, so that Young Master Tang could have a chance to show off his skills. However, Young Master Tang refused without hesitation. In this era, you either had money or soldiers. Young Master Tang was only focused on forging weapons. This was really confusing.
Bai Bi also had doubts, but Tang Shidao only said one thing: 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 let Big Brother Tang decide everything.
On the sixth day.
Zhao Daxiong led the team to welcome them again. The ten of them were more energetic, and their bodies weren't as weak as before. Originally, they all suspected that these two 'bosses' were just doing their jobs and were avoiding blacksmithing all day. Now that they saw Young Master Tang's terrifying 'Zhanmadao', they understood that they were the ones who were thinking nonsense. Young Master Tang wasn't doing anything improper.
If a worker wanted to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools.
Many people understood this principle, but there were very few who could really do it.
More than five days.
Tang Shidao used all his strength to forge a Zhanmadao, and Bai Bi forged an eyebrow knife. At the same time, the two also forged two slightly wider eight-sided Han swords, two sets of throwing knives of different lengths, and two sets of survival tools. The throwing knives and tools were made into a belt module, the swords were on the back, and the long weapons were in the hands. Other than the lack of a crossbow, there was basically nothing missing.
"We don't want crossbows, we want bows. It takes too long to forge a longbow, we don't want to do it. Da Xiong, go buy two longbows, the stronger the better. "Tang Shidao ordered.
Thanks to the development of craftsmanship during the war, the blacksmith shop sold everything.
Other than military equipment.
Ropes, traps, fishing nets, harpoons, and even medicine and poison were commonly used by hunters. Other than food, almost all hunting tools could be bought at the blacksmith shop. Taking down Hei Lang's group cost a lot of money, but it wasn't too much. With suitable weapons, the money-making operation had to start.
"Young Master Tang, I've already applied to the garrison of Tiger Mountain City. We'll go hunting during the day and return at night. We won't wait for anyone if we return late. "
"What if we go too far?"
"You're on your own. Other than the alliance, no one will save you. If you go too far and can't come back, try to hide in the outpost. However, the outpost is a place that can be abandoned at any time, it's not absolutely safe. Actually … cities can be invaded these days, there's no place that's absolutely safe. "Zhao Daxiong tried to explain as much as possible to prevent his boss from being hot-headed.
"What happens if the city is breached?"
"It depends on luck. Once the outer city wall falls, the garrison will definitely retreat to the inner city. The people in the outer city can only hide in the cellar, some will enter the public tunnel. During this time, if the monsters are chased away, or if they retreat, everyone will be able to survive. If they keep fighting and don't run away, the people hiding will either be dug out and eaten, or starve to death underground. "
"The tunnel isn't easy to use?"
"It's easy to use, but sometimes the monsters will find it. Once the monsters break into the tunnel, the people inside will basically die. In short, if the city wall falls, a large group of people will definitely die. There's more than one or two cellars, a group of people can't eat for more than a few days without food. Sometimes the ventilation vent will be blocked, suffocating people to death wouldn't be strange. "Zhao Daxiong said," If the city survives, the people will survive. If the city falls, the people's lives will be as thin as paper. "
"Daxiong, why are you participating in the city defense?"
"This … It's like this. Young Master Tang, I have some acquaintances in the army. They're just small soldiers, not generals. When it's not too dangerous, I'll ask them to give me a chance to train my courage. Sometimes, I can also pick up some meat to eat. If it's too dangerous, the hunters usually won't participate. "Zhao Daxiong said," Even if it's a good thing to take advantage of, ordinary people won't have a chance. "
"So it's like this. Where's the most dangerous when hunting?"
"The river."
"Why?"
"Because there are often monsters lurking in the water. Hunters like us don't fight monsters, only wild beasts."
"Okay." Tang Shidao listened.
But listening was one thing, doing or not doing was another matter altogether.
As a veteran, Zhao Daxiong was definitely opposed to hunting near the river. Tang Shidao decided to do so. He tried to persuade him 26 times. However, six hours later, Zhao Daxiong and his group struggled to drag a 13 meter long crocodile demon with six legs and a back full of thorns. When they entered the city, the guards were dumbfounded. Zhao Daxiong and the other ten small soldiers laughed like children with their mouths wide open.
When he walked past his old friend, Zhao Daxiong raised two fingers and couldn't hide his pride. "Two arrows. Just two arrows."
The old guard was stunned.
He took a closer look.
Only then did he realize that there were two long arrows in the crocodile demon's eyes. They basically didn't reach the arrowhead and pierced deep into the brain. If one didn't pay close attention, it was almost impossible to see.
The onlookers roared.
