King of the North: My Lord's Diary Weekly Summary

Chapter 217, Traditional Martial Arts!! (Thanks to Wudong)

So, the next step is to upgrade our combat readiness and enhance the military strength of our territory!

[Generating three perfect item options based on your current situation —]

The long-lost words appeared before Wayne's eyes, along with the predictable rewards!

【Countermeasure Options - Three Ghost Soldier Summoning Cards (Epic)】: You can summon a hundred ghost soldiers to fight for you. They are fearless, have extremely high resistance, and each has Tier 1 combat power.

【Shining Option - War Growth (Shining Edition) (Epic)】: After use, your soldiers (the fewer the number, the stronger the effect) will be fully restored and their overall combat power and morale will be increased for two hours.

After the enhancement effect ends, they will permanently retain some of their recovery abilities and combat power boost! (Perfect condition! No side effects!)

[General Options - Five Fusion Cards (Epic)]: Can convert any type of journal settlement card into a "Attach Card" of the corresponding type.

Attached Card 1 can be fused with any used reward of the same rarity and type to become a more powerful reward of a higher level!

The countermeasure options remain stable, and this time the dazzling option also caught Wayne's eye—after all, it's a card that can not only influence a battle, but also has a permanent amplification effect.

However, Wayne had already planned for several days to exchange for the Fusion Card.

Five fusion cards are enough for Wayne to use for a while. He'll need them for subsequent weapon upgrades and bloodline enhancements!

"Fusion Card"

With a thought, the two purple cards on the left disappeared, while the purple card on the right transformed into five vibrant green cards, which fell into Wayne's hand.

Looking at that crystal-clear green, Wayne couldn't wait any longer.

He put four of the cards into his notebook, and then summoned the purple card of the Heavenly Pivot Ballista from his palm—

Then, Wayne focused his mind and combined them together—in an instant, a brilliant purple light shone before Wayne's eyes!

The entire basement was illuminated even brighter, and a small purple card landed in his hand.

[Weapon Attachment Card - Heavenly Pivot Ballista (Epic)]:

Weapon type: Mechanical crossbow.

Basic abilities: Long-range shooting, armor penetration, rapid fire.

Characteristic: Deformation.

Wayne looked at the smaller and more refined purple card in front of him, and without pausing, quickly summoned the second material.

Epic Weapon Card - Armor of Legacy!

His hands trembled slightly, mainly from excitement—the fusion was just too exhilarating. He had witnessed firsthand the rewards he had redeemed over three weeks, those precious cards, merging together—

As the two purple cards touched, just as Wayne expected, a brighter, denser purple light appeared in his palm—then, the purple light grew brighter and then paler—

Until, like the sunrise at dusk, a glimmer of gold gradually appeared in the hazy, pale purple light, and soon, gold took over all the epic radiance.

The card in Wayne's hand also transformed into a gilded card that shone with the brilliance of a legendary card!

Look at the panel!

【Tian Shu Dual-Phase Armor (Legendary)】: A legendary weapon with two forms, a crossbow and a ballista. It is sturdy and has a powerful armor-piercing ability. The user can freely switch between forms with their will.

Form 1: Dual-phase crossbow form - Steel armor state, with intricate patterns on the armor plates resembling a star map, and a sophisticated folding mechanism embedded in the arms, shoulder armor, and chest armor.

Absolute Protection: The armor itself is forged from iron passed down for thousands of years and tempered through all kinds of transformations, making it even stronger than the original "Inherited Armor".

Star Pivot Repeating Crossbow: The mechanism on the arms and shoulders of the armor can be deployed into the "Star Linking" repeating crossbow system at the wearer's command.

The crossbow arm is integrated with the armor, and by clenching the corresponding hand, one can continuously fire crossbow bolts with extremely strong armor-piercing capabilities!

Destroy the city: The bow arm, crossbow string and receiver have been fused and tempered, further enhancing the energy storage limit and sturdiness, allowing a single shot to penetrate most defensive fortifications.

Features: Inheritance - Solidification, Inheritance - Armor Penetration, Inheritance - Transformation.

Inheritance & Fortification: When the wielder brings this armor into contact with any other armor and maintains the thought for five seconds, that armor will gain the same level of fortification as this armor.

Inheritance - Armor Penetration: When the wielder brings this armor into contact with any other crossbow and maintains the thought for five seconds, that weapon will gain the same armor-piercing ability as this armor.

Inheritance & Transformation: When the holder brings this armor into contact with any ballista or a complete set of armor and a hand crossbow and maintains the thought for fifteen seconds, the corresponding weapon will be reforged!

Reforging allows it to inherit all the characteristics of this equipment, and increases its base stats to half of the original equipment's (for steel and above).

The strength materials will further enhance the base stats of the forged equipment. The initial twelve standard arrows can be assembled into four ballista arrows after transformation.

Once reforged, the weapon can be freely transformed simply by the user's will. (A reforged weapon cannot be inherited again.)

WC!

Wayne stared blankly at the long panel and the numerous powerful abilities.

When he came up with this plan, he thought that combining two carefully selected epic weapons would be so powerful that it would boost the combat effectiveness of his troops by at least one level.

But he never expected the fused weapon to be so powerful!

After being reforged, the weapon can be freely transformed simply by the user's will.

What does that even mean!

Now, including composite armor and iron armor, Wayne has a total of more than a dozen sets of armor and more than a dozen crossbows.

In other words, he can now have more than a dozen giant crossbows mounted on the city walls, and they can freely transform into armored warriors equipped with powerful repeating crossbows and wearing sturdy armor!

Even when wearing armor, warriors can still hold a sword or shield in their other hand!

Wayne couldn't help but imagine the scene of these weapons being issued to the wolf warriors. They were already skilled at ambushes, and now—

When fighting defensive and ambush battles, the enemy has powerful armor-piercing capabilities with ballistae on the front and wolf-type repeating crossbows lurking on the flanks. How can they defend against that?

When fighting offensive battles, each of our Tier 1 warriors is equipped with a set of armor that provides half the defense of legendary armor, and retains their original melee and ranged crossbow abilities!

These soldiers' strength was formidable, even against barbarian soldiers with special bloodlines and winter combat enhancements, and against well-equipped Northern regular cavalry with legionary magic arrays.

Even if we don't call it a complete technological victory, it's definitely a case of having the upper hand!

Invincible!

So, amidst shock, joy, and anticipation, Wayne transformed the dozen or so suits of iron armor and crossbows in the basement into one reforged version of the Celestial Pivot Dual-Phase Armor after another.

One by one, dark mechanical armors appeared and were about to be deployed to the battlefield on the northern border, wreaking havoc!
