Those who reincarnate must die.

"This is the First-Class Armory! It contains the finest weapons and armor of Sunset Fortress!"

Feng Xi led Zhang Lang to a massive, nailed wooden door in the fortress: "Only elite troops and officers are qualified to select equipment from here!"

As he spoke, Kuding unlocked the door, revealing a dazzling array of equipment inside.

Unfortunately, these things were of no interest to Zhang Lang, a master who had traversed twenty worlds.

"I'll pass on the armor, I'll just pick a weapon!" Zhang Lang walked into the storeroom, his eyes sweeping over the weapon rack.

"Are you sure?" Feng Xi asked in surprise.

"Do you know that for a warrior, a fine sword is easy to obtain, but fine armor is hard to come by! The cost and craftsmanship of a suit of armor are far greater than those of a sword. Moreover, on the battlefield, a good sword can only help you kill a few more enemies, but fine armor can help you save your life!"

"Armor is just a burden to me!"

Zhang Lang flatly refused. To be honest, weapons were unnecessary for him. His bare hands were better than any divine weapon. He was most comfortable killing insects with his bare hands...

"Arrogant fellow!"

Feng Xi shook her head, realizing she couldn't persuade him, and picked up a single-edged sword from the weapon rack:

"The Green Steel Silver-Backed Saber is three feet six inches long, weighs two pounds six ounces, and is incredibly sharp, capable of cutting through iron like mud. It is especially suitable as a personal sword!"

Zhang Lang took it, looked at it, shook his head, and put it back.

Feng Xi picked up another longsword: "The Purple Light Azure Dragon Sword, three feet eight inches long, weighing two pounds and three ounces, with a thick spine and a sharp tip, is suitable for assassination and is remarkably effective against the exoskeletons of insects!"

Zhang Lang shook his head again...

"What about this one?"

Feng Xi was very patient. She picked up another knife, but before she could introduce it, Zhang Lang shook his head.

"The swords are too light and don't feel right in my hand..."

Feng Xi was taken aback, then slapped her forehead. She had forgotten that this was a strongman who could overpower Karl Han. How could he be interested in these light weapons?

Then she picked up a steel mace: "This black mace is forged from meteorite iron from outer space. It's incredibly hard, thick, and heavy. It's four feet two inches long and weighs sixteen pounds and eight ounces!"

"It's not a matter of weight..." Zhang Lang shook his head. "To deal with those insects? These things are too light... Your iron spear is more like that, isn't it? Don't you have one of those?"

"That?" Feng Xi shook her head: "That's a mounted combat weapon, meant for charging, and it's too long to be easily wielded on the city wall..."

Zhang Lang nodded: "That's exactly what I want—heavy and long! Otherwise, I'm afraid it'll spoil..."

As he spoke, Zhang Lang's eyes lit up when he spotted a large knife in the corner!

This knife is made entirely of fine steel. It is over eight feet long, with a handle and blade each accounting for half of its length. It is shaped like a broadsword. The handle is as thick as an average person's wrist, and the blade is nearly a foot wide and thicker than a palm. Look at the handle standing on the ground; it has even cracked the floor tiles!

Feng Xi noticed his gaze and followed it, her eyes lighting up: "This...it's still here?"

Kuding, standing nearby, explained, "General Feng, we also wanted to take this away, but it's too heavy, and it doesn't take up much space, so..."

"I'm not blaming you!" Feng Xi laughed. "Luckily, it wasn't disposed of!"

Zhang Lang walked over, grabbed the knife handle, lifted it with one hand, and casually swung it around, creating a whooshing sound that frightened the warehouse manager into retreating!

"That works!"

Zhang Lang smiled with satisfaction. Feng Xi, standing to the side, swallowed hard, then clapped her hands involuntarily…

"This is a failed product created during previous research into weapons against the Zerg..."

On the way out of the warehouse, Feng Xi introduced it to Zhang Lang:

"We had a meeting to come up with a weapon to fight the insects. Because the insects are big and have shells, the weapon had to be big and heavy. After finalizing the dimensions, the finished product was over 400 pounds. Only Karlhan could wield it properly, but he also said it was too heavy for practical use, so it just ended up in the armory!"

As she spoke, she looked at Zhang Lang: "I didn't expect that after lying here for so long, this knife would still find a suitable master! It seems that it will be your companion in all your future battles..."

Zhang Lang glanced at the broadsword in his hand and shook his head: "I only ask that it lasts for six days!"

"Huh?" Feng Xi didn't quite understand.

Zhang Lang didn't explain further, but gently flicked the palm-thick blade with his finger, producing a crisp ringing sound...

"I estimate it will be difficult even in six days..."

After becoming an officer, Zhang Lang could no longer live in the barracks below, but instead entered the fortress as Feng Xi's personal guard, living with the warriors of the other cavalry units...

Here, Zhang Lang didn't face the same ostracism he experienced with the other reincarnators. On the contrary, these warriors, who had witnessed his heroic battles during the day and even had their lives saved by him, welcomed him warmly, throwing him a small celebration. Some even sought his advice on training, making the dormitory quite lively. But despite the merriment, when it was time to sleep, everyone had to obediently go to bed!

Based on experience, the insects only attack during the day, but just in case, the city walls still need to be on guard 24 hours a day. When there are no enemies, you must ensure that you get some rest!

And so, on his first night in this world, Zhang Lang and the other reincarnators in the camp managed to get a good night's sleep.

However, the peaceful times in the altar world did not last long. The next morning, the insects launched their second attack.

As the war horns sounded, the reincarnators gathered their equipment and climbed the city walls.

Having learned from their first experience, the new recruits were much more skilled this time. Moreover, due to their special status as former subordinates of General Yuan, the army gave them some special treatment. Not only were the equipment provided better and more suitable, but they were also allowed to choose their own.

Liu Xingwei received a specially sized full suit of armor, while Le Xinyi and Sun Ye, the new archer, each received an exquisite recurve bow and enough arrows.

Even though we have the composite bow that we can exchange at the altar, we still need to be careful with our own things!

As for Zhang Lang, he also carried that large sword and followed Feng Xi to the city wall. Apart from him, all of Feng Xi's personal guards were fully armed, riding fine horses and carrying large spears. Only he was practically bare-chested, carrying only a large cleaver!

Zhang Lang even gave this thing a name: Slaughter, which is quite menacing.

…………

Yellow sand rose again on the northern horizon, this time with even greater force, quickly reaching within range, and catapults on the city walls fired fireballs one after another.

This time, however, the insects immediately sent out those large golden beetles to spread their elytra to block the boulders, while the mantis monsters and jet bugs quickly approached the city wall under the cover of the beetles.

"This time it's for real!" Fang Tianhua laughed, while a blond young man in the team couldn't help but chatter: "Compared to this, yesterday's was practically a tutorial!"

"This isn't a game!" a companion retorted.

Liu Xingwei tightened his grip on the heavy shield: "Trying it like a game might make it easier! Don't be nervous, just go for it!"
