Elena took her sword and slashed at the stone platform next to her.

Bite!

Mars are on the rise.

"Good sword!"

Elena praised that the bronze sword could not be made too long because of the tenacity, and if it was to be long, it had to be widened to make up for it, so most of the bronze long swords were a palm-wide heavy sword shape.

However, the iron sword in front of him was more than one and a half meters, but the sword body was only two fingers wide, and it was extremely sharp.

"That's a defective product!"

Xia Ye smiled, the shape of the cold weapon is not what you want, you can create what you want, but also according to the quality of wrought iron, so as to achieve the strongest and sharpest.

"Defective?"

Elena frowned, in addition to its ugly appearance, this sword was not much better than that of the clansmen, and then, she became excited again.

"If it's a finished product, how great will it be?"

Elena had planned to leave for the second expedition to open up trade routes after reporting the situation, but now she was not leaving.

Forging a sword is not something that can be done overnight, and there is no hurry.

Although the productivity of this era is low, with the material of vitality, the sword-forging process is also a little different from what Xia Ye learned from film and television books.

Two days later, a long iron knife was placed in the forging room.

In the hearth, the coke burned, red, and emitted a wave of roasting heat, but everyone was unaware, and their eyes widened as they stared at the long knife on the stone table.

"Beautiful!"

It took a long time for Elena to spit out two words.

"Hmm!"

Woad nodded busily, and subconsciously touched it, but she shrank back halfway, and the little Lori, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, was also a little nervous at this time.

You know, this is the first iron tool.

"The shape is depicted by Natsuno!"

Mowu explained.

Xia Ye has an inexplicable love for Tang knives, so he chose the shape of Tang horizontal knives, the blade is narrow, straight and long, without any arc, and the tip of the blade is also made into a sharp acute angle, and the armor is sharp.

"I'll try!"

Elivie is good at fighting, and when she saw a good knife, she immediately fell in love with it, and directly grabbed the handle of the knife and pulled out a few knife flowers.

"Cousin!"

Jiaduo complained, generally speaking, this kind of thing is always the first thing that the big chief touches, and he tries it before it is someone else's turn.

"It's fine!"

Xia Ye never cared about these red tapes.

"It feels good!"

Elivi swung, slashed, picked, and stabbed, trying various movements, and found that it was very easy to use, especially when wielding, the silver blade reflected the sunlight, like a horse.

"Great Chief!"

Elivier held the Tang knife in her hand, looked at Xia Ye, and was eager to try.

"I'm coming!"

Woad couldn't wait, jumped out, and took off the tactical axe hanging from his waist.

"Use this!"

Mo Wuyu threw over a sword, which was the work of Master Hagar.

Syllable!

Xiang Guo took the sword, followed this side and sprinted quickly, and when he reached three meters in front of Elivia, he jumped up and pressed down like a tiger pounced.

"Full force!"

Woad shouted.

Elivier naturally did not retreat.

So the swords collided.

Poop!

In a piercing pop, sparks shot out.

"That's a lot of strength!"

Elivie was brave and brave, but when she was hit with all her strength, her arm was numb, which made her shocked, is this little girl a monster?

"Come again!"

The fruit attacked fiercely, moved with all his strength, and played the offensive of the mercury land.

Elivi fought back, attacking against attack, and the sound of metal hitting plantains was like rain hitting plantains, and it instantly resounded.

Mo Wuxuan held a small notebook and recorded while watching the battle.

Xia Ye and Lu Lingxi's eyesight is good, even if the blade is swung quickly and the afterimage is continuous, they can see that every time they collide, the bronze sword will knock out a small gap.

Both Woo and Elivi possessed great strength, and under the rough ravages of the two of them with all their strength, in just one minute, the bronze sword slammed, and half of it was knocked away.

"Wow!"

Woad glanced down and saw that the blade of the sword was full of gaps the size of mung beans, and then looked at the iron weapon in Elivier's hand, although it was also damaged, it was not obvious, and it did not affect its use.

"Good knives!"

Elivia stroked the blade, her eyes mesmerized.

"It's still not good enough!"

Rem muttered.

"The sword I gave to Xiangguo, although it is not the masterpiece of Master Hagar, but it was also forged by him with a lot of effort, but it was casually cut like this iron knife, if it is replaced with an ordinary bronze sword, it means that it will be broken if it can't be blocked a few times!"

Mo Wuxuan was a little shocked.

The forging of this knife, although it has also been infused with the efforts of himself and Lu Niang, but everyone is not a professional forging master after all, if Xia Jia is allowed to forge it by himself, how sharp will it be?

"What is this knife called?"

Izumi asked in a low voice, she was timid by nature and didn't like to fight, but the shape of this knife also made her want to collect one.

Xia Ye originally wanted to talk about Tang Dao, but when the words came to his lips, he was inspired and changed his words.

"Summer Knife?"

"A knife made by Natsuno?"

Izumiko guessed.

"It should be Xia's knife!"

Generally speaking, there are two ways to name the weapon, one is who created the weapon and defined it by whose name, and the other is that the weapon is named after the place where it is produced.

"Yes, this kind of knife will become the banner of the Xia clan, and as our army expands its territory, it will leave an indelible reputation on this land!"

Xia Ye wants to turn the summer knife into a spiritual and cultural symbol, just like when the Tang sword is mentioned in later generations, the Tang Dynasty will be thought of in style, and when it comes to the Japanese sword, the Japanese samurai spirit will be thought of.

A tribe should have something to pass on.

Everyone stopped talking, and they were all reminiscing about the name Xia Dao.

Jiaduo looked at Xia Ye, her eyes adoring, mixed with a hint of admiration.

Elivi stroked the blade, looked at Xia Ye's confident smile, flying eyebrows, and regretted a little, why did she target him in the first place?

"But with his mind, he shouldn't have blamed me a long time ago, right?"

Thinking of this, Elivi secretly glanced at her cousin again, hey, she seems to like the big chief too, what should I do?

Lu Lingxi savored the name and couldn't help but clap his hands gently.

"The Great Chief is wise!"

The corners of Elena's eyes moistened, and she thought that her people would no longer have to be killed or injured because of inferior weapons.

In the most miserable times of the tribe, they fought against the fiercely armored enemies with clusters of arrows made of bone and stone, and in order to make up for the inferiority of weapons, the tribe had to fill it with human lives.

"My brother is really the best!"

Summer Moon is very relieved.

"Hawkers, this name is great, it will be called Xia Dao in the future!"

Woad nodded earnestly.

"Hmm!"

Elena nodded, and then her face changed again, and she hurriedly reminded: "Save all the iron ingots, save them all, and I'll go and catch a few blacksmiths back!"

In Elena's opinion, it would be a waste to let these people with half a bottle of water forge knives.

The few people were stunned for a moment, and then they couldn't help laughing.

"What's wrong?"

Elena was puzzled.

"We have already explored, this mining area is very large, very deep, even if it is mined day and night, to supply a large tribe of 100,000 people for daily and combat consumption, it can be dug for hundreds of years!"

Woad snorted triumphantly.

"So much?"

Elena exclaimed.

"It seems that in addition to brown sugar, white paper, salt, and munitions, arms can also become the pillar industry of Chaoge!"

Xia Ye teased that as for the small industries of soap and condiments, Xia Ye can't look down on them anymore.

"You can't rush, take it slowly!"

Lu Lingxi reminded that if you are too anxious, you will attract a greedy enemy.

"Chaoge is about to rise!"

Mo Wuxuan sighed with emotion, could he be lucky enough to witness the rise of a great power? These things made by Xia Ye can amass a lot of wealth just like that.

"Cooperating with him, my father's position in the Mo family will also be more stable!"

Mo Wuxuan was a little proud, glad that he found him when he was still in the summer wilderness, and a friendship was born.

"Weapons are never sold, use them yourself!"

Elena gritted her teeth: "I also want to enjoy the thrill of crushing the enemy with my weapon!"

"Xia Daocheng, the four seas, the world surrenders!"

Lu Lingxi chuckled, and there was an indescribable emotion in his words.

Mo Wuxuan nodded in agreement, she originally thought that the Iron Age that Xia Ye said was a bit exaggerated, but now it seems that once the major tribes know this secret, it is only a matter of time before the bronze is replaced by the iron tool.

"Domineering!"

Woad fruit than a thumbs up.

"What's next?"

The ghost master groped for the cold blade: "Do you want to move the casting knife shop back, or just forge the knife here?"

The crowd fell silent.

Chaoge is nearly a day's journey away from this Red River Valley, if you cast a knife here and are attacked, then it will be a lot slower to help, but in Chaoge to cast a knife, you have to rely on manpower to carry ore, and the efficiency is too low!

"There is still a shortage of people, if only we could build a road between Chaoge and the Red River Valley!"

Jiaduo sighed, with the carriage, this distance should be able to be completed in three hours.

"I'm going to arrest someone!"

Woad rolled up his sleeves and prepared to plunder everywhere.

"Before we build the road, let's move the ore first!"

Xia Ye carefully weighed the pros and cons, if he forged a sword in the Red River Valley, he would need to send troops to garrison it, which would disperse Asaga's forces.

Whether it is a weapon or a blacksmith, it is a valuable commodity, not to mention the forging technology, once it is broken, the loss is too great, so it can only get close to Chaoge.

"Hey!"

Lu Lingxi sighed quietly, carrying ore, this is definitely a heavy job, it is estimated that many people will die every year.

Mo Wuxuan was only interested in new things, she had seen new metals, and the Xia knife had been forged, so she took a few iron ingots and returned to Chaoge to continue her research in mechanism.

After Xia Ye and Elena discussed, they just left the group of militants of Shiboya here and took charge of garrisoning, which can be regarded as out of sight and out of mind, and by the way, give full play to the surplus value.

Arranged for Elena to continue plundering, Xia Ye brought some rare supplies, and prepared to take a trip to the Wei clan first, even if it was a trip, and also planned to buy a batch of slaves.
