Zhang Yizhen, the commander of the mad knight army, received a pure gold battle axe. The letter said that the name of this axe was "Kaishan Chop", and it was a sharp weapon of the ancient gods. The shape of the tomahawk is unusually exaggerated and majestic, and it is about the same size and weight as they usually use. Zhang Yizhen liked it very much at first glance, and weighed it repeatedly in his hand, not noticing a hidden mechanism on the handle of the axe.

When he took the tomahawk and looked at it with a grin, while studying with his subordinates whether the name "Kaishan Chop" was good, he touched the mechanism of the axe's handle. Hearing only the sound of a snap, the touched Taihe Iron Power Spring burst open the end of the axe handle, and countless tiny steel needles flew up and scattered all over the sky. Accompanied by the flying needle was a puff of green smoke and poisonous smoke.

This flying needle is known as the "Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle", which is a new product that Qin Tianzhu dictates through memory, and then is jointly developed and researched by those top craftsmen at all levels under his command. Because it is a key excitation part made of Taihe iron, it is particularly powerful, the steel needle can easily penetrate the armor of the Northern Alliance heavy cavalry within twenty meters, and it can still penetrate the body protection qi of the late stage of the bone underworld within forty meters, the power is really terrifying.

All the steel needles were fed with poison, and the throat was sealed with blood. Toxic fog is also strongly corrosive.

When Luo Ming saw the effect of the test, he was very excited, and said that he would step up the development of a simple throwing device that could be used on the battlefield, saying that this was simply a "hand grenade".

Of course, no one understood what he said about the grenade, and everyone secretly laughed at how strange the name was. Blacksmiths refer to this device as a "rainstorm thunderbolt". No

It is still quite difficult to cross the distance to the extent that Luo Ming said that it can be thrown by the soldiers. Not only were there still many technical difficulties to solve, but the experiment itself was also very dangerous, and two of Jie's disciples were killed in the experiment, and another was seriously injured and disabled.

After the mechanism on the "Mountain Opening Slash" was triggered, Zhang Yizhen and his fifty mad guards with sharp axes who followed him closely and did not leave an inch, only four seriously injured survived. They were standing outside the crowd, and the poison of the poisonous steel needles was already very weak after passing through the bodies of several people.

After Zhang Yizhen's subordinates inspected, the axe was not pure gold at all, but bronze and gold-plated on the outside, and it was not worth much.

Ma Jinhuai, the commander of the Ma family, did not receive any gifts or letters. He would go to Widow Zhang's house in Xingyang Village every once in a while to stay overnight. Of course, his personal guard, the "Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry", would never leave him more than ten meters away.

Ma Jinhuai always quietly entered Xingyang Village after dark, got up before dawn, and left Xingyang Village under the cover of night. He behaves in a discreet and low-key manner.

It was a dark day before dawn that morning. Ma Jinhuai quietly got up and left Widow Zhang's house with his Yanyun Eighteen Horse. The group only lit two torches for lighting.

They had just set off when they heard a soft sound of crossbow strings, and a crossbow arrow flew out of the window of a nearby building, piercing Ma Jinhuai's head when they landed.

Ma Jinhuai flipped off his horse at that time. After a brief panic, three of his guards, Yan Yun Eighteen Horsemen, sent the breathing Ma Jinhuai out of the horse, while the others screamed and rushed bravely and recklessly towards the building they thought was suspicious. But they tossed until dawn, and they didn't find any suspicious people.

Xia Yunhua, the leader of the women's flying knife team, also did not receive any gifts or letters. She was found dead in her bed by her men the morning after Ma Jinhuai's death.

Xia Yunhua's private lieutenant was very high, and she soon found that she had been poisoned in the residue of the bowl of pheasant soup in her dinner the day before. People immediately conducted a raid on Xia Yunhua's private kitchen, and found that chef Liu Xiangyun had never returned since he went out to buy something at dinner yesterday.

The Women's Knife Team immediately chased him to his home and found that his family had all moved away two days ago, and no one knew where they had moved.

With Lin Yi's strong support, the assassination operation in the wolf's den went extremely smoothly.

After more than a month of intense preparation and planning, the Wolf's Lair Special Operations Team completed all the assassination operations within two days. After the operation, neither Luo Ming nor the father and son of the Eastern Alliance announced anything to the outside world.

There was a huge wave in the entire Eastern Alliance, but the father and son at the center of the storm, under Luo Ming's instructions, maintained a mysterious image and adopted an attitude of neither acknowledging nor denying this series of assassinations.

I just repeatedly asked everyone to maintain restraint, calmness and unity, and not to follow some people with ulterior motives to make foolish noise. This attitude of theirs had an immediate effect, and people were more worried about this mysterious and intangible, intangible, terrorist threat than those hoarse naked threats and shouts.

Almost all the faction leaders, whether they were originally hostile or neutral, have taken their own men and horses to join the ASEAN Lord and Lin Yi.

Lin Yi no longer had to train his Tempest Warriors in secrecy. He reorganized all the teams that had taken refuge in him, and the Tempest Warriors quickly grew to more than 70,000 men.

The lack of weapons suddenly became the first and foremost problem. Fortunately, Luo Ming organized all their craftsmen to himself, and carefully and systematically learned the detailed methods of creating "The Legend of Death" and "Breath of Death". After they returned, the hard crossbows made of fine iron had greatly improved their power and range.

Luo Ming only supplied a small group of dead friends from the Eastern Alliance who always followed their mother and daughter closely, as well as a small batch of hard crossbows made by real Taihe Iron from Ji Yuan's "Sunset East Field" action team, "The Legend of Death" and "Breath of Death".

The two sides agreed that the Taihe iron ore will still be mined by Luo Ming's people, and the equipment created must be strictly controlled by any unit except for the Flying Tigers, and as for the iron ore in the Wild Lands, it will still be mined by the people of the Sunset Alliance

For deuces.

The Eastern Confederacy had now secretly and completely allied itself with Luo Ming. Externally, however, the Alliance still claims to be independent, an organization that is distinct from the Black Cloud City Imperial Court.

There were still imperial troops stationed in the area of the Heishui River, but it was already symbolic, and the number of garrisons in the battalion was greatly reduced.

On this day, Luo Ming was busy in his Yelang Palace, and suddenly a subordinate reported that a guest had visited. Just as he was wondering, he suddenly saw a girl appear at the door of the house with a smile.
