The rebel army's foremost master craftsman forged a million iron pylons!
Chapter 16: Promoted Two Ranks, Grand Master Foundry!
The two soldiers arranged everything according to Luo Yong's orders.
Luo Yong's eyes were filled with hope as he glanced at the crossbow in Li Tian's hand and said calmly.
"Brother Li, please, let me witness the power of the divine weapon in your hand."
Su Santao had witnessed the power of this weapon; the black short arrow was one he had pulled from the body of a dead Wei armored soldier.
The thought of witnessing the weapon's power again stirred a flutter in Su Santao's heart, and she stood silently to the side.
Li Tian remained silent and attached an arrowhead made entirely of extraterrestrial meteorite iron to the crossbow.
Then he raised his crossbow, squinted, and aimed at the armor a hundred paces away.
With a gentle press of the mechanism.
A muffled thud.
A black line flashed past Luo Yong and Su Santao's eyes, piercing through their armor a hundred paces away with a hiss, and embedding itself in the wooden stake behind them.
The two soldiers in charge of checking immediately ran over and took a look, then cheered.
"It went through! It really went through!"
"General Luo, this young man's crossbow bolts can really penetrate the iron armor of the Wei army."
The two soldiers laboriously removed the armor with iron arrows attached, then carried the armor to Luo Yong and presented it to him with both hands.
Luo Yong examined the armor carefully for a while, then gripped the end of the short arrow with one hand and pulled hard.
With a hiss, the short arrow was pulled out.
Looking at the tiny hole, about the size of a thumb, Luo Yong's eyes welled up with tears.
He thought of the soldiers who had risked their lives with him.
Most of them died on the battlefield.
The lives of ten rebels are exchanged for the life of one armored soldier.
If such a divine weapon had appeared on the battlefield sooner, his brothers wouldn't have...
"Young brother, I beg you to pass on the method of making this weapon to our righteous army no matter what."
"Luo Yong knelt down before you!"
Just then, Luo Yong did something that no one expected.
He was actually dragging that suit of armor by his hand.
With a thud, he knelt down in front of Li Tian.
The eight-foot-tall man cried so hard that snot was running down his face.
"Luo Yong!" Su Santao was caught off guard and tried to help Luo Yong up, but Luo Yong refused to get up no matter what.
"Young brother, you must promise me! Our righteous army brothers cannot continue to die like this. If they die again, our cause will surely fail!"
"When will the people of this world be freed from their suffering!"
"General Luo, rest assured!"
Seeing this, Li Tian also got a little excited.
"The fact that my crossbow can penetrate iron armor is secondary."
"Most importantly, it is very easy to use, and even women and children can use it."
"General Luo, why don't you try it yourself?"
As Li Tian spoke, he walked over, placed his hands on Luo Yong's elbows, and with a slight pull, Luo Yong involuntarily stood up.
"Is it really that amazing?"
Luo Yong secretly admired him, but he was more concerned about the new weapon in Li Tian's hands, so he quickly asked.
Without saying a word, Li Tian shoved the crossbow into Luo Yong's hand.
"General Luo, this is the arrow slot, and this is the mechanism."
"To use it, simply aim the crosshair at the enemy and gently press the trigger..."
Li Tian gave Luo Yong a brief explanation of how to use the crossbow, and Luo Yong was already very excited.
Following Li Tian's instructions, he put a short arrow into the quiver, drew the bowstring taut, and aimed at a target in the distance that the army used for archery practice.
The distance was already more than a hundred paces.
With a gentle press of the mechanism.
boom!
The short arrow flew straight out.
Rings 10!
Even the target was shattered by a tremendous force.
"My darling!"
"What a wonderful baby!"
"Brother Li, you're a fucking genius."
"Just as you said, this thing is so easy to use that even a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child soldier could use it."
"Hahaha, great! This is really great!"
Luo Yong was so happy that he danced around, holding the short crossbow and spinning in place. Suddenly, he said to Su Santao, who was standing to the side.
"Captain Su, Brother Li is truly a lucky charm for our Loyal Army."
"When my Loyal Army was short of weapons, such a divine weapon was sent to us."
"I think it's best to inform General Chen about this matter as soon as possible."
"It will definitely bring Brother Li a great deal of credit."
"That's exactly what I was thinking."
This statement is exactly what Su Santao said.
Su Santao clapped her hands suddenly and turned to ask Li Tiandao.
"Brother, would you like to come with me to see General Chen?"
"My name is Li Tian!"
Li Tian first introduced himself, and then smiled slightly.
"Why not? I was just about to present this to General Chen."
"Then let's go."
Although Su Santao was a woman, she was even more strong-willed than a man. Upon hearing this, she grabbed Li Tian's arm and strode towards the military camp.
Li Tian felt as if his right arm was bound by an iron band. He thought to himself that this woman was incredibly strong. He didn't try to break free and let Su Santao drag him into the military camp.
"Greetings, Commandant Su."
Along the way, soldiers kept saluting Su Santao.
Su Santao ignored him and led Li Tian straight to a tent in the very center of the military camp, where they stopped.
This tent was much larger than the others, more than three times the size.
The tent is also made of cowhide, making it much more windproof than ordinary tents.
Soldiers stood guard all around, making the defense appear extremely tight.
"This is Commander Chen's camp."
"Please wait here for a moment while I go in and inform them."
Su Santao led Li Tian to a spot a dozen steps away from the tent and stopped there. She walked directly towards the tent and whispered a few words to the guards.
The soldier went in to report, and Su Santao then lifted the curtain and entered.
Li Tian stood not far away, watching and muttering to himself.
"I wonder what Su Santao said when she went in, and whether she was able to clearly explain my powerful weapon."
Not long after.
A hearty laugh came from inside the tent.
"Great, great, a divine artifact has fallen from the sky!"
"If this weapon is really as miraculous as General Su said..."
"Our Loyal Army has nothing to fear in achieving great things!"
"Where is that kid now?"
"I want to see him in person."
Followed by.
The tent flap was suddenly flung open.
General Chen's tall figure appeared outside the tent.
"Good lad, I thought I wouldn't see you for another ten days or so, but I didn't expect you to come to the military camp ahead of time."
General Chen clearly remembered Li Tian vividly.
After a brief glance, he strode towards Li Tian and patted him hard on the shoulder twice.
"I remember you."
"Last time we distributed wives, I made an exception for you and allowed you to take three, just because you're good at blacksmithing."
"How are things going with your wife?"
Li Tian smiled slightly.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness, it's all thanks to General Chen."
"I heard you've forged a divine artifact that can penetrate iron armor within a hundred paces. Bring it here quickly."
General Chen looked Li Tian up and down, but did not find the artifact that Su Santao had mentioned, so he frowned and asked.
Li Tian smiled slightly, took the crossbow off his arm, and handed it over, saying, "This is it."
General Chen took the crossbow and examined it closely for a while, marveling at it.
"Such a small object, yet it can penetrate iron armor."
"That's incredible."
"Li Tian! Can you give me a demonstration right here?"
Li Tian smiled slightly and nodded in agreement, thinking to himself that the rebels were much more meticulous in their work than he was.
When faced with a new weapon, every general would personally test it before he would feel at ease.
In this way, I can feel at ease joining the rebel army.
After all, they weren't the rabble that people imagined!
General Chen's method of testing was also very simple: he erected a suit of armor a hundred meters away and operated it himself.
Duh!
An arrow flew out!
It pierced through the armor with ease.
When he learned of this victory, General Chen smiled so much that all the wrinkles on his face disappeared, and he said repeatedly.
"Good, good, good! This magical artifact could save the lives of countless righteous warriors."
"Li Tian, would you be willing to join my righteous army's weapon-forging camp?"
"To forge divine weapons for the rebel army."
Casting camp?
Li Tian was taken aback; he had only heard of the Weapon Forging Camp in the army of the Great Wei.
I didn't expect the rebel army to have them too.
According to Li Tian's memory, the casting battalion, like the army, also had ranks: apprentice, iron master, junior foundry master, senior foundry master, supervisor, and battalion commander.
Apprentice means exactly what it says.
"Zhang Tie" means a skilled technician.
Junior foundry workers are special talents among master craftsmen; they are not responsible for labor, but only for giving instructions.
As for the Grand Foundry Master, he is an unparalleled talent capable of creating divine weapons and powerful artifacts.
Correspondingly, the positions in the foundry were also linked to military ranks. An apprentice was equivalent to a regular soldier, a blacksmith was equivalent to a platoon leader, a junior blacksmith was equivalent to a centurion, and so on...
"I wonder what position the general would like to offer me?" Li Tian asked tentatively.
"How about starting as a junior foundry worker?"
General Chen responded tentatively, fearing that Li Tian would not agree, and quickly added, "The Grand Foundry Master is already in office. If we rashly replace him, it might break the morale of the soldiers."
Little foundry!
Li Tian's face immediately lit up with joy.
Actually, his original intention was to start as an apprentice.
After all, the things the system gave us were too astonishing. If we didn't give them some time to be released little by little, they would be completely out of reach.
People will think he's a monster.
General Chen gave him such a big surprise.
Junior foundry worker, isn't that a promotion of three ranks?
Compared to a centurion, he received a stipend of two taels of silver a month, which was a much higher starting point than others.
The only drawback is...
After becoming a blacksmith, his vigorous and powerful physique became useless.
Li Tian understood this deeply.
In years of war,
Military merit is the most reliable path to promotion.
Otherwise, no matter how skilled one is at blacksmithing, one will still only be someone else's subordinate.
Seeing Li Tianxing's jubilant appearance, Su Santao couldn't help but feel disdain.
In this era of great strife and war, valiant men are called upon to fight on all fronts.
Upon hearing that he had become a blacksmith, Li Tian's face lit up with excitement, clearly revealing him to be a coward who feared death.
All that effort wasted.
"Li Tian, after becoming a blacksmith, you won't have to go to the battlefield most of the time, and the rebel army will protect you. You can focus on blacksmithing now!" Su Santao said to Li Tian with some disappointment.
"No! General Su, you've misunderstood me."
Li Tian suddenly took a step forward and spoke with great emotion.
"The reason I, Li Tian, joined the righteous army is to risk my life for the people and to conquer a vast empire for the Loyal King."
"In the future, whenever there is a war, I, Li Tian, will be at your service. I will not flinch even if it means facing mountains of knives or seas of fire."
"Forge iron!"
"It's just a personal hobby of mine!"
These words were originally something Li Tian learned from reading novels in his previous life.
But the rebels were all honest and kind people, and they had never heard such impassioned words before.
"Is this true?" General Chen and Su Santao were both startled.
"More real than pearls!"
"Hahaha! Good!" General Chen laughed heartily. "It wasn't for nothing that I gave you three wives. You truly are a man among men. This matter is settled then."
Su Santao went even further, asking, "Li Tian, would you be willing to become my squad leader and fight alongside me against the enemy?"
Li Tian was stunned for a moment.
If I work under you, won't you become my boss in the future?
There are many things that are inconvenient to do!
at this time,
Ding!
[The "Many Children, Many Blessings" system is now activated.]
[Su Santao: Charm Value 95]
[Su Santao's favorability +5]
[System Reward: 100 jin of extraterrestrial meteorite]
Su Santao's charm value is actually 95! It seems that the woman wearing the mask is definitely an absolute beauty!
I'm so curious!
"I'm willing!" Li Tian said immediately.
