Chapter 648: Things are done one by one
Tang Shidao and Bai Bi were building weapons, and the rest of them were also active.
Two 'fierce generals' appeared in the outer city of Hushan City, and the powerful and rich people in the city naturally received the news. However, because Tang Shidao and Bai Bi were worried that the wooden stick would be interrupted, they did not attack with all their strength, so they dropped a lot of points in the eyes of onlookers. Moreover, the people who were watching were not intelligence experts, and most of them were illiterate people who could not even write their names, so they could be expected to see much.
On the other hand.
When the powerful and rich people heard it, they were just stunned, and in the end, it was a lame old sentry who mended the knife, and their impression of the two was even lower.
The black wolves are more villains than hunters.
Can you win against such a group of people...... Well, I have a little ability, but it's not a top material. For now, just wait and see, find out the source and then make calculations. In addition, dealing with brave warriors may not be useful against youkai. In Hushan City, it is more necessary to be an expert in dealing with monsters, rather than a stunned young man 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 the war, there are very clever craftsmanship in weapons and materials here. On the other hand, the status of the weaponsmith is also quite high. In general, the ancient dynasties were literati, but this kind of war years did not take their turn. Don't talk about that kind of literati here, there is not even a system of doctrine of benevolence, righteousness and morality...... Nobody eats that.
The planet has magical energy, agriculture and cultivation are harvested almost every year, the society is relatively stable, and the most prosperous nature is industry and commerce.
“…… The way to advance civilization is not feasible. Bai Bi kept explaining the previous examples as a reference for Tang Shidao to do the task: "Someone did it a long time ago, and the result was miserable. Human mages are only limited in strength, not limited in knowledge. It's easy to invent cement, gunpowder, glass. ”
"How did it turn out?" Tang Shidao didn't read much information, but felt that this method that everyone thought of could not succeed.
"Doing so fails faster. More than a dozen people have tried, single-handedly pushing the slave society into the beginning of the industrial age, turning ancient soldiers into musket and cannon warriors. But by the time they reacted, the monsters had changed from a few meters to dozens of meters of behemoths. A group of ancients used muskets and artillery, and facing a giant beast of tens of meters was just the end of being crushed. ”
"Depending on the level of civilization, the monsters that come in are different, right?"
"Right...... Well, that's not right, it should be different according to the level of technology. Some have tried not to advance civilization and only make modern guns themselves. As a result, a very small number of giant beasts of several tens of meters appeared. It can be said that when the tasker lights up the technology, the monster will be enhanced. ”
"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 the interstellar civilization, it is useless, those things cannot succeed. Even if your method is correct and your skills are correct, what you create will not work. For example, the dark matter reactor, a number of people have tried to remake it. Obviously all the processes are fine, but they can't start. According to those who lose, it's not that the start is unsuccessful, it's that more than a certain level of energy is 'stolen'. ”
"Expected." Tang Shidao thought of the anomaly in the atmosphere and knew that there was already such a coping mechanism.
If only you could make a Star Breaker.
No matter how many monsters there are, it's all over in one shot. Even if there is a starry sky monster, everyone is just fighting for skills.
The Jade of Humanity quest will not turn into a skill match.
It definitely has some kind of meaning.
"Brother Tang, there are still some people who have tried very cruel methods. They...... Well, they join the rebels and slaughter all humans in the way of human villains. As a result, the monsters that came in again became fewer and weaker. But they couldn't succeed in the end, because the monsters that came in early were still multiplying and growing, and they still couldn't deal with them. They fail in an internal rebellion, or the beasts multiply. In short, the smaller the population, the greater the danger. ”
"These people are starving to death, aren't they?" Tang Shidao smiled, thinking that the strategy should be so simple, the jade of people has long been played with as glass beads.
"Yes. Because of the slaughter, some mages were besieged by monsters, no one helped them, and finally starved to death. ”
"I know what you mean, I'm not going to mess around. Believe me, don't worry, the human jade plane is like a delicate scale. It doesn't tilt towards monsters, it doesn't tilt toward humans. To increase portion size, we need to find something more special. Tang Shidao smiled.
Bai Bi didn't understand well.
However, it is useless to know that advancing technology and lowering the population are useless.
I thought about it.
"That...... Brother Tang, Sister Ying has successfully killed all the monsters because she has been cultivating for more than 300 years. In addition to my own strength, luck also plays an important part. The people of her time were very martial, very brave people, and it was even more rare to be very united. So, she led a group of people to win the monster. Bai Bi mentioned the sister who succeeded in killing the monster.
"Can you live so long? Like the mage itself? ”
"Yes."
"It's not necessarily a good thing. In their eyes, our 'immortality' is a manifestation of monsters. Besides, she killed all the monsters without success...... I don't think it's finished, maybe someone is hiding something from her. Or, there are monsters that are hidden and not killed. It was too reckless for her to want to enter the investigation portal. If I wanted to do that, I'd choose a way to 'drag in' by the monster, at least without suspicion. ”
"......" Bai Bi was speechless when he listened, knowing that Sister Ying also regretted it.
Unfortunately, there is only one chance per person.
In the mission of Human Jade, there are unlucky people who are accidentally shot by stray bullets, and no one can guarantee what will happen to them. In this case, the tasker naturally wants to do a little more and provide more protection.
However, if it doesn't work, it won't work, and it should be regretted while regretting it.
It took five days.
Tang Shidao and Bai Bi chatted and built at the same time, completely ignoring the outside world. Zhao Daxiong came over every day to report in detail on his 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 the defense of the city. It's just that it only happened twice in five days, and one of them was a pigtooth monster that broke into it by mistake.
"Aren't there many youkai lately?"
"Tang Gongzi, because of the good weather, the hunters' activities have been very large recently, and the monster group is relatively small. As soon as the number is small, they do not dare to come to attack the city, and when they come, they will be sent to death. "Zhao Daxiong is in excellent spirits, and he doesn't seem to be so thin.
Everything went smoothly on the surface.
But he was strange...... Tang Gongzi only focused on forging, as if he didn't care about everything.
Zhao Daxiong also salivated and asked his old friend, wanting to ask a general to come forward for inspection, so as to give Tang Gongzi a chance to use his skills to get promoted. However, Tang Gongzi refused without hesitation. In this kind of era, there are either money or soldiers, and Tang Gongzi is only obsessed with building weapons, which is really confusing.
Bai Bi also had doubts, but Tang Shidao only said: Enjoy the fun of forging, don't think too much, and do things one by one.
After that, Bai Bi didn't think much about it, and left everything to Brother Tang to decide.
Day 6.
Zhao Daxiong led the team to greet again, and the ten people in the group were much more energetic, and their bodies were no longer as weak as before. Originally, they all wondered if these two 'bosses' were serious and hid from blacksmith work all day long. Now when they see Tang Gongzi's terrifying 'horse chopping knife', they also understand that they are the ones who are cranky, and Tang Gongzi has not done anything serious.
If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.
Many people understand this truth, but there are very few people who really have a steady heart to do it.
More than five days.
Tang Shidao made every effort to create a horse chopping knife, and Bai Bi created an eyebrow knife. At the same time, the two also created two eight-sided Han swords with slightly wide blades, as well as two sets of throwing knives with different lengths and two sets of wild survival gadgets. The throwing knife and tool set are made into belt modules, the sword is on the back, and the long weapon is in the hand, except for the lack of a pair of bows and crossbows.
"Don't use a crossbow, ask for a bow. It takes too long to build a longbow and we don't do it. Big Bear, you go buy two pairs of longbows and come back, the stronger the better. Tang Shidao commanded.
Thanks to the development of craftsmanship during the war years, the blacksmith shop sold everything.
Except for ordnance.
Hunters often used ropes, traps, hunting nets, harpoons, and even wounds and poisons. In addition to food, you can buy almost all the tools you need to go out hunting at the blacksmith shop. It takes down a group of people from the Black Wolf and gets a lot of money, but it's not too much. With the right weapon, the operation to make money must begin.
"Tang Gongzi, I applied with the garrison of Hushan City. When you go out hunting, you go out during the day and return at night, and you don't wait for anyone to return late. ”
"What if you go too far?"
"Ask for a lot of blessings, no one will come to the rescue except the Alliance. If you can't come back after walking too far, try to get into the sentry fort and take shelter. However, the outpost is also a place that can be abandoned at any time, and it is not completely safe. In fact...... In these days, when the city can be invaded, there is no place that is absolutely safe. Zhao Daxiong tried to explain as much as possible, so as not to heat up his old brain.
"What happens if the city is breached?"
"It depends on luck. Once the outer walls fell, the defenders would definitely retreat to the inner city. People from the outer city had to take refuge in cellars, and some entered the public tunnels. During this time, if the yokai run away, or if they retreat, everyone will be able to live. If they can't run away, those who are hiding will either be dug up and eaten, or starve to death in the ground. ”
"The tunnel doesn't work?"
"It's easy to use, but sometimes youkai find it. Once a youkai breaks into the tunnel, most of the people inside will die. In short, if the walls can't be defended, a large number of people will definitely die. There are more than one or two hiding in the cellar, and a group of people can't eat for a few days without food. Sometimes the vent is blocked, and it is not surprising that it is suffocated to death. Zhao Daxiong said: The city is in the people, and the life of the people in the city is as thin as paper.
"Big Bear, what's going on with your participation in the defense of the city?"
"This ...... That's right, Tang Gongzi, I also have some acquaintances in the army. It's just a small soldier, but it's not a general. When it's not too dangerous, I ask them to give them a chance to practice their courage, and sometimes I can pick up some meat to eat. If it is too dangerous, hunters generally do not come to the rescue. Zhao Daxiong said that it is a good thing to take advantage of something, and ordinary people can't take their turn.
"I see, where is the most dangerous place to go out hunting?"
"By the river."
"Why?"
"Because there are often monsters lurking in the water, hunters like us don't fight monsters, only wild beasts."
"Hmm." Tang Shidao listened.
But listening is listening, and not doing is another matter.
As a veteran, Zhao Daxiong must be opposed to hunting near the river. Tang Shidao decided to do this, and he persuaded him twenty-six times. It's just that three hours later, Zhao Daxiong and his entourage dragged a 13-meter-long, 6-legged, and thorny crocodile monster back. When they entered the city, the guards were dumbfounded, and Zhao Daxiong and the other ten soldiers laughed like children with cracked mouths.
Walking past his old friend, Zhao Daxiong compared two fingers and couldn't hide his smugness: "Two arrows, just two arrows." ”
The old friend of the guards was stunned.
Take a closer look.
Only then did I find out that there were really two long arrows in the eyes of the crocodile monster, which basically did not reach the arrows, and penetrated deep into the brain. If you don't look closely, you can barely see it.
Listen to the onlookers shouting again.
The guards knew...... Hushan City, here comes the 'real tiger'.
