Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 314 Enchanted Blacksmith
One p.m,
The bright sunlight had completely dispelled the chill of the night, and the plants on the sunny slopes and in sheltered spots were still green and vibrant.

This even creates the illusion that winter is still far away, autumn has not yet left, life is still beautiful, and one can still take a leisurely afternoon nap or a nap.

However, at this moment, on the training ground outside the city wall, no one dared to doze off, and no one dared to blink.

This is Li Wei's special training course, and today's topic is how to deal with agile opponents.

At this moment, Li Wei, fully armed and wielding a single three-star heavy wooden sword, was facing the combined attack of Benjamin, Santiago, Grant, Mark, and Javier.

These five have now grown to the point where Thomas and Lyon can only call them brothers; all they lack is destiny, title, and equipment.

"Kakaka!"

"Mark, you were offside just now."

"Benjamin, remember to cooperate."

"Grant, your combat awareness is good. That's it. Organize another offensive. Remember, I am now a level 5 magic zombie, and I follow the agility route. Against an opponent like this, it is very important to anticipate and allow time for the enemy."

"You might think this is too difficult and that you can't keep up with the reaction, but don't think that way. Remember, everything leaves a trace. No matter how strange the attack route is, it has its own trajectory. If a magical zombie suddenly changes or moves rapidly in a way that you can't understand, remember, this may be where its life core is located."

Li Weiyi explained and demonstrated patiently.

There are no shortcuts to training; you just have to train relentlessly, over and over again.

"One more time! Ready—Go!"

Before the words had even faded, Li Wei had already launched himself into the air, charging into the formation of Benjamin and his five men from twenty meters away, and taking them all down in two seconds.

"Not bad, not bad. Benjamin hit me twice this time, Javir hit me once, and Grant hit me once. Mark's defense was good, but his reaction was too slow."

"You guys rest first, next group!"

Li Wei was full of energy and had a loud voice, as if he would never get tired. There was no way around it; after wearing the title of Flame Baron, with 540 points of physical strength and 20 points of mental strength, it would take a truly worthy opponent to make him feel tired.

There are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames.

Also, for some reason, he felt that his physical and mental strength had been recovering rather quickly these past few days.

One minute later, all five squads were taken down.

There was not a single general who could withstand the attack.

But it's okay, we can get up and try again!

"Old Zhao? Come over and practice."

Li Wei looked around and then shouted to Zhao Guozhu, who was watching the commotion from a distance.

As a result, the old guy shook his head and quickly slipped away.

That's just asking for trouble.

"My lord, all the newly arrived free citizens have been screened and are currently in the quarantine zone. Psychological counseling and investigation are underway, and they are expected to officially join the territory in two or three days."

At this moment, Isabel's mother came to report that the hundred free people sent from the western town base had been brought back around 10 a.m., but the situation was a bit bad. Many of them were injured and beaten, and they were crying like children. Their emotions were very unstable. They still believed that the Ice Duke would use them to make the Blood Plague Antidote.

Even with Grant and others sharing their experiences, it will still take some time to recover.

In short, this underground base in the west is like a troublesome cancer. Li Wei can tolerate its existence now because there are not enough places to live here, nor can it be absorbed better.

Let's wait a while.

Hey, Ah-Dai's back. He's a little late today.

"Alright, you can train on your own from now on."

After saying hello, Li Wei returned to the camp building, knowing that Liang Yuzhi must have some important intelligence to pass back.

"Pullingleng!"

As soon as Ah-Dai flew back, it perched on Li Wei's shoulder and impatiently rubbed its claws with its beak, on which something was tied.

"Hey kid, you've worked hard. Go have some fun."

After waving Ah Dai away, Li Wei carefully opened the package. Inside was indeed the brilliant plan Liang Yuzhi had given him. After reading it, he suddenly realized that there were so many twists and turns in the process.

However, Night Owl said his territory would definitely explode within six months?
This doesn't sound like something said in a fit of pique, nor is it something someone like her would say casually; it's more like a subtle reminder.

She may be bad, but she's not stupid or dumb.

So he really did block other people's way and steal their cake.

Hehe, he was actually quite looking forward to it. He casually tore the note into pieces and ate it, which was the safest way. Although someone could still recreate it if they wanted to, he had to be disgusted at least a little!

Next, Li Wei went directly to find Zhao Xuanxuan, only to find that she was not at the blacksmith shop, but had gone to the electric truck assembly workshop on the basement floor. It turned out that Nelson, Lennox and his group had indeed asked Master Zhao for help.

As he continued to chase after her, he could hear the sound of Zhao Xuanxuan swinging the hammer from afar. It was neither too loud nor too soft, but very rhythmic. A group of people were gathered around, staring at each other as if they were watching a magic trick.

Li Wei didn't disturb anyone; he just stood at the back, craning his neck to look inside.

Inside was a pre-welded truck chassis, but nothing else had been installed yet.

Zhao Xuanxuan took her four-star enchanted hammer and carefully struck it left and right, occasionally sensing it with her hand. After a long while, she straightened up and shook her head, saying, "It's far from good enough. There are loopholes everywhere. This kind of chassis is fine for driving on paved roads, but if you want to take it as a hardcore off-road vehicle, you have to use some tricks, but that's a bit difficult."

"There are two difficulties to be solved. One is the welding point. Violent bumps and impacts can cause problems with the welding point. Things are different now than before. The chaotic magical particles will accelerate the reduction of the stability of the welding point. Of course, you can also lower the standards."

"The second difficulty? Forget it, let's solve the first one first."

"Master Zhao, is it possible to use a chassis that is formed by die casting in one piece?" someone asked.

"It's not impossible, it'll be very difficult. Sigh, if only I could solve the enchanting problem." Zhao Xuanxuan said with distress. In the past month, she had conducted too many experiments, but the current progress could only be described as a long way off.

"Perhaps I can solve this problem?"

Li Wei suddenly spoke with a smile, and only then did everyone notice. Haha! He was too engrossed.

"Everyone, please continue with your work. Don't be shy. Xuanxuan, come here, I'll take you somewhere."

Li Wei then relayed the method Liang Yuzhi had told Zhao Xuanxuan.

Upon hearing this, the latter paused for a moment, then suddenly ran back and shouted at Lenos and his group, "Your design is too conservative. What we need are small armored vehicles, no, mountain armored vehicles, that can carry limited cargo and be used for patrols. They should be able to travel at 120 km/h on paved roads and 60 km/h on gentle mountain terrain. They shouldn't be too big, just two or three crew members. Leave the chassis to me!"

At this moment, Zhao Xuanxuan exuded a powerful aura, while Li Wei was less certain.

"Xuanxuan, are you sure you can pull this off? This is a post-apocalyptic setting, how can you possibly create a giant lynx?"

"Haha! Li Wei, you don't understand the power of magic at all. Normally speaking, it could even start a magical industrial revolution. I don't know why the city of Ver still uses horse-drawn carriages as a means of transportation."

Zhao Xuanxuan complained.

"Perhaps it's because magic is so hard to obtain, and the quantity is so small, so it has to be used sparingly."

"Oh yeah, I didn't think of that. Come on, let's get some enchanted iron ingots first! Ahhh, I've been dreaming of crafting enchanted equipment, my enchanted hammer has been thirsting for it for so long—"

Zhao Xuanxuan was so excited that she pulled Li Wei along and ran all the way. Li Wei cooperated with her the whole time. This kind of dedication is very meaningful, especially for improving one's destiny.

So now he's thinking about how to improve the overall combat effectiveness of the free civilian soldiers who have taken off their jobs, while also enhancing their destiny.

Of course, it's not necessary to upgrade all of them; just upgrade the fates of the two professions.

It seems we can't rush this!

"By the way, Xuanxuan, what is your current destiny number?"

"Craftsman 34, Blacksmith 44, Miner 23, not bad, right? But Li Yue suggested I bind my fourth card to the Scholar card, while my second aunt suggested I bind it to the Cavalry card. They're both rare cards. Li Wei, what do you suggest?"

"Impressive! I can't offer you advice. What are your own thoughts?"

"I don't care, I'll stick with you anyway. Whatever you need, I'll stick with you."

It looks quite natural.

Li Wei was speechless, and could only ask again, "Why did Li Yue ask you to bind the scholar card?"

"It's for the enchanting blacksmith. She said it can speed up the improvement of fate, and then I can go to the base camp to farm rare class cards."

"As for my second aunt, she said that if you don't have a mount, you can't run fast with a big hammer. If you were to switch to armored cavalry, wouldn't your big hammer be worth eighty points a hit on the battlefield? It's a pity that cavalry cards are rare. I quite like the scene my second aunt described. Forging iron in peacetime and charging around in wartime. Wow, life is pretty much perfect."

"I didn't realize you were such a violent person," Li Wei laughed. This relaxed atmosphere, where there was no need to worry about making mistakes, was just too good. Otherwise, he would have had to carefully plan his conversations before.

"Haha! I'm not a violent person, you, Li Wei, are the most violent. You're usually so quiet, but you're incredibly fierce on the battlefield. I still remember that time when I went to find bandits to make a deal with your fiancée. I didn't know you could be so powerful, but I got used to it afterward and have been used to it ever since."

Zhao Xuanxuan spoke animatedly, while Li Wei listened quietly beside her. Before them lay the magic mine, with faint blue flames dancing on the piles of iron ingots.

Their lives have indeed improved, but when they think back to that desolate valley, they don't feel that it was that difficult. They only remember the days when everyone was scheming and deceiving each other, and they miss those days quite a bit.

"Li Wei, if I have the chance in the future, I'll use the code name Peppa Pig."

"What?"

"That way, I can call you George the Pig, hahaha!"
