The rebel army's foremost master craftsman forged a million iron pylons!

Su Santao was wearing heavy iron armor, and her face looked somewhat pale, but only half of her face was visible, with the other half covered by a ferocious bronze mask.

Li Tian's gaze lingered on the other person's breastplate for a moment before shifting away with some regret.

Alright! Grandma has hidden herself.

Behind her stood two fierce-looking guards, also clad in iron armor, who looked incredibly imposing.

"So it's Commandant Su! Your subordinate pays his respects to Commandant Su!"

Luo Yong turned around and saw that it was Su Santao. His expression changed slightly, and he quickly bowed and paid his respects.

The official positions in the rebel army were modeled after those of the Great Wei.

From squad leader, centurion, chiliarch, colonel, general, grand marshal, lord.

Luo Yong, though only a centurion, had to pay his respects to Su San Tao.

"Centurion, you may dispense with the formalities."

"What just happened?"

Su Santao was always aloof in the army, even her voice was icy.

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Santao suddenly saw Li Tian standing behind Luo Yong.

A faint blush appeared on her pale face.

Although she was unconscious at the time, she still remembered some of the process of Li Tian saving her, and she felt both ashamed and angry.

she,

Su Santao!

The most beautiful woman in the Loyal Army!

Unparalleled in martial arts.

I have never been treated so lightly by a man before.

But when she thought of that incident, Su Santao forcibly suppressed the shame and anger in her heart.

This matter concerns the future development of the entire Loyal Army.

What do a few personal honors and disgraces matter?

However, this is not the time to ask questions.

"Centurion Luo, what exactly happened just now?" Su Santao suppressed her embarrassment and anger and asked again.

"It's Su Can and Wang Meng."

"Those two bastards actually dared to accept bribes from the hunters in the neighborhood."

Luo Yong angrily recounted what had just happened, and then emphasized...

"Don't worry, Lieutenant Su. I have already followed military regulations and ordered these two to be given thirty lashes before being driven out of the rebel army."

When Su Santao heard that the troublemaker was Li Tian, ​​and that he had single-handedly defeated four or five rebels, her eyes lit up.

He glanced at Li Tian.

The rebel army consisted mostly of farmers, hunters, and refugees.

Very few people truly understand martial arts and strategy.

This Li Tian is indeed a rare talent.

Li Tian responded with a friendly smile.

Possessing the strength of a dragon and the ferocity of a tiger, he could even kill a tiger.

Not to mention a few mere mortal soldiers.

However, Su Santao's gaze quickly swept past Li Tian and landed on Su Can and Wang Meng, her eyes turning cold.

She was originally the daughter of a general in the imperial court.

Because his father was framed by the imperial court, his entire family was executed.

She was the only one who escaped unharmed because she was out running errands.

That's why she joined the rebel army; her hatred for the imperial court was as deep as a raging sea.

But she has always been kind-hearted and can't stand the oppression of the good.

"You two heartless bastards, have you forgotten where you came from?"

"How dare they bully the common people!"

"Kicking them out of the military camp is too lenient. Let them return the money they owed the hunters first."

Su Santao shouted loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the two guards behind him rushed over like wolves and tigers, and Wang Meng began to beat Su Can mercilessly.

"Ouch, ouch, we know we were wrong, General Su, please spare us!"

Su Can and Wang Meng were immediately beaten until they cried out in pain.

Then two bulging money bags were thrown on the table.

With a loud bang,

Some copper coins and loose silver coins flowed out.

"Fellow villagers, our righteous army is the people's army, and we will not take a single tael of silver from the people."

"Now, whoever had their silver withheld by these two beasts, take it back."

"A living Buddha!"

"Thank you, General."

The hunters cheered and swarmed forward, quickly looting all the silver and copper coins on the table.

Li Tian frowned inwardly as he read this.

In fact, the rebels paid silver for their mountain goods, but these two men withheld ten copper coins from their payment. They were clearly taking advantage of the situation.

However, this was a chaotic world, and Li Tian couldn't be bothered to care about such things anymore.

The hunters took the silver, thanked Su Santao, and left in twos and threes.

Li Tianzhi felt unlucky; everyone else's prey had been sold, but his hadn't.

He reluctantly slung his hunting bag over his shoulder and prepared to leave when a voice sounded behind him.

"Young man, please wait a moment!"

The voice was clear and crisp; it wasn't Luo Yong, but Su Santao.

Li Tian turned around: "I wonder what business General Su has with me?"

Since Su Santao didn't bring up the matter of saving his life, he felt embarrassed to bring it up either.

After all, Su Santao was a military general, and if this matter were to spread, it would not be good for Su Santao's reputation.

As if on the same wavelength, Su Santao looked at Li Tian gratefully and said softly.

"It seems this young man left something with me. Meeting you here is a good opportunity to return it to its rightful owner."

As she spoke, Su Santao took out a short, black arrow from her quiver and waved it in front of Li Tian.

"This is a weapon that you made yourself, young man."

"That's incredibly sharp!"

"Even the iron armor of the Great Wei infantry could not withstand it."

hiss!

Standing to the side, Luo Yong gasped, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards the iron arrow in Su San Tao's hand.

Do such powerful weapons really exist in this world?

He knew about the iron armor of the Wei army.

Even the bravest soldiers in the rebel army could only manage to leave a white mark on the iron armor when they raised their long swords.

Therefore, as soon as the rebel army saw the Wei's armored troops arrive, they turned and ran.

Although the rebel army had a resounding reputation, it was only large in number.

There's a saying that ten rebels could be exchanged for one armored warrior when facing truly elite, heavily armored troops.

Now, Captain Su says that Li Tian actually possesses a magical artifact capable of breaking through the rebel army's iron armor.

This is truly astonishing.

Luo Yong's gaze involuntarily turned to Li Tian.

Li Tian smiled slightly.

"General Luo has a good eye."

"These are crossbow bolts that I made myself."

"And then, paired with my own homemade crossbow!"

"Within a hundred paces, one can pierce iron armor!"

As he spoke, Li Tian removed the crossbow from his arm and presented it to Su Santao with both hands.

Hand crossbow?

Luo Yong and Su Santao's gazes involuntarily fell on the crossbow in Li Tian's hand.

"Can this thing really penetrate iron armor?"

"Young man, I'm not well-educated, so don't try to fool me."

Luo Yong asked with some curiosity.

"certainly!"

"I originally intended to offer this to the rebels."

"But we just don't know how."

"Since General Luo has asked..."

"Let's try it out on the spot!"

Li Tian remained calm and composed.

He originally planned to join the rebel army ten days later.

Then present this item to General Chen, and you may receive some reward money or an official title in return.

Unexpectedly, this happened ahead of schedule.

Upon hearing Li Tian's words, Su Santao's eyes lit up, and she resolutely replied.

"Alright, let's try it out on the spot!"

"If your crossbow bolts can pierce iron armor."

"I'm appointing you as a squad leader right now!"

Luo Yong had the same idea and immediately gave the order to his men.

"Find a set of armor, and a wooden stake."

Soon, the items Luo Yong needed were brought to him.

A set of iron armor seized from the imperial army.

Two thick wooden stakes.

"Bury the wooden stakes a hundred paces away, and put the iron armor over them."

"Let the young man try out his crossbow!"

Luo Yong gave the order.
