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

The wind suddenly stopped, and the patrolling soldiers all stopped in their tracks, staring in surprise at the newly enlisted soldier.

Even the two soldiers were incredibly surprised.

Qin, the centurion, was a fierce general in the army, and his men had killed a total of eighty-six enemies!

Most newcomers wouldn't even last a single move against Centurion Qin.

This new soldier dares to be so provocative!

"You really want to compete with me?"

Qin Hao was also stunned. He was known in the army as the invincible Silver Spear, and was skilled in using Wu Yue Double Hooks. He was tall and strong, and his moves were flexible and varied, making him virtually unbeatable.

At this moment, this soldier who dared to challenge him was nothing more than someone who didn't know his own mortality.

Qin Hao held Wu Yue's double hooks crossed in his hands, smiled slightly, and said, "Alright, let's have a match. If you can beat me in one move, the tent is yours!"

As he spoke, Qin Hao assumed a horse stance, focused his energy in his dantian, crossed his two hooks in his hands, and placed them above his head to protect his face.

"Li Tian, ​​come here! I'll let you go first! Don't say I'm bullying a newbie."

Seeing the other party's arrogance, Li Tian grinned, said nothing, took a step forward with his right hand holding the broadsword, twisted his waist, and slashed the broadsword down fiercely.

Seeing that Li Tian had no fighting skills and just chopped down without any technique, Qin Hao's last bit of respect disappeared. He could easily take on ten laborers with his bare hands.

He has a hundred ways to counter such a direct attack, and a dozen ways to kill instantly.

The broadsword came crashing down with a sharp whistling sound!

Wait, something's not right!

The fierce and powerful sword strike caused Qin Hao's expression to change.

One-handed horizontal block transforms into a double-edged parry!

next moment,

Swords clashed!

Bang!

A deafening roar shook everyone's eardrums.

An immense, irresistible force suddenly struck.

Qin Hao felt a numbness in his arms, and the two hooks in his hands vanished without a trace. Immediately afterward, a chill swept over his entire body.

The enormous shadow of the blade rapidly expanded in his eyes.

"Ah! Spare...my life!"

Overwhelmed by the fear of death, Qin Hao couldn't help but shout out.

brush!

The giant sword in Li Tian's hand came to a steady stop three inches above Qin Hao's head.

The soldiers around them were all dumbfounded.

Fast! Too fast!

No one expected that Qin Hao, the centurion known for his bravery in the army, would have his weapon knocked away and lose in a single move.

"You lost! Give us back our tent!"

When Li Tian uttered those words, Qin Hao felt as if his whole body had collapsed, and he sat down on the ground with a thud.

"I...lost!"

Qin Hao muttered these words to himself, his eyes filled with disbelief, as if he had been stunned by Li Tian's strike.

Despite the unbelievable fact.

But a loss is a loss.

Two soldiers immediately helped Qin Hao sit on a small stool next to him and asked him with concern.

"Centurion Qin, are you... alright?"

Qin Hao simply shook his head indifferently.

"Captain Qin, don't forget my tent!"

Li Tian coldly uttered a sentence, turned around and left. He hadn't gone far when he suddenly encountered a soldier.

"Li Wuzhang, wait!" The soldier blocked Li Tian's path.

Li Tian asked, "What do you want with me?"

"General Chen requests your presence in his tent!" After delivering the message, the soldier hurriedly left.

General Chen is looking for me again!

Li Tian frowned slightly.

I have no idea what it is about.

With hurried steps, Li Tian headed towards General Chen's tent.

General Chen's camp,

When Li Tian entered, General Chen had his back to him, so he couldn't see any expression on his face.

"Li Tian greets General Chen!" Li Tian bowed.

General Chen turned around abruptly, his face serious, and asked, "Li Tian, ​​did you hit Commander Zuo's nephew today?"

Li Tian didn't hide anything and recounted the events of the forging camp's competition with Sun Baichuan and its encounter with Chen Xinchang.

I thought General Chen would scold me.

Unexpectedly, General Chen suddenly slapped Li Tian hard on the shoulders with both hands.

"Well done! Well done!"

"Li Tian, ​​you really made me proud today!"

"I beat Zuo Lianfeng's nephew so badly he wet his pants, and even defeated his fierce general Qin Hao. Let's see how he dares to be arrogant in front of me now!"

General Chen laughed loudly, a triumphant expression appearing on his usually imposing face for the first time.

Li Tian's victory clearly struck a nerve with him.

"Thank you for the praise, General Chen. Captain Qin underestimated the enemy; I was merely lucky!"

Li Tian said modestly, then cautiously probed for a question.

"I've heard that the Fengzi Battalion is an elite force under our Loyal and Righteous King, invincible in battle. Why are you so invigorated today, General, after suffering a setback?"

"Sigh~" General Chen sighed heavily.

"You are unaware of this, although the Fengzi Battalion is the elite force of the Loyal and Righteous King, it is actually one of the troops under the command of General Wang Jingzhong!"

"And this Zuo Lianfeng is the commander of the Fengzi Battalion!"

"They were only temporarily assigned to our right wing to provide support."

"Zuo Lianfeng is extremely arrogant. My Right Army gave the best supplies to the Feng Battalion, but they obeyed orders but not orders. Every time we ordered them to attack cities and capture strongholds, they were always the last to appear and got the benefits for free."

"But the imperial armored forces are watching us closely, and I dare not drive them away."

"You really gave me a good vindication today!"

Upon hearing this, Li Tian understood and gave a wry smile.

It's another battle between the left and right generals.

It seems that the two generals under the Loyal King are now at odds.

Or, to put it another way, Wang Jingzhong is clearly more powerful, but Chen Nian'an is able to contend with him. This General Chen might be a henchman supported by the Loyal and Righteous King to check and balance Wang Jingzhong!

Neither possibility is something a lowly soldier like him can handle.

Li Tian wasn't stupid, so he could only agree, "Really? What a coincidence!"

Li Tian did not offer much opinion, but felt that the situation within the rebel army was quite complicated.

The struggle between the left and right armies has become irreconcilable.

I should make plans as soon as possible.

General Chen grew increasingly satisfied with Li Tian, ​​but then suddenly remembered something and asked, "Now that you've obtained the Grand Forging Master's token, are the craftsmen in the camp convinced of your worth?"

Li Tiandao said, "I only showed them a little bit of my skills, and they all want to become my disciples."

General Chen appeared extremely excited and clapped his hands together. "In this way, the foundry camp is finally under the control of my right army. You don't know, this foundry camp was originally under the control of the left army."

"The main reason is that the master blacksmith was sent by Zuo Jun!"

"When we ask them to build or repair weapons, they always drag their feet!"

"Now it's all good, the entire Third Casting Battalion is at the command of my Right Army."

With that, General Chen asked expectantly, "Can the crossbow you designed be put into production immediately?"

Li Tian thought for a moment and said, "If there are enough materials, the forging battalion can probably forge about ten swords a day!"

"However, due to limitations in materials, the quality deviates somewhat from what I submitted!" Li Tian said truthfully, explaining that he only intended to use extraterrestrial meteorite iron in critical areas.

"It's fine! It's enough for us!"

General Chen shouted loudly.

"If anything happens in the future, report to this general immediately. Within ten days, you must make one hundred crossbows for me."

As he spoke, General Chen took out two pieces of gold from a box and handed them to Li Tian.

"Since you're new to the army, your expenses must be considerable. Here, I'll give you these two ingots of gold."

Li Tian naturally accepted the gift with a smile. He was already short of gold and silver, and with this gold, he could buy jewelry and rouge for his four wives.

"Thank you, General!"

Li Tian stepped forward, accepted the gold with both hands, and turned to leave the tent.

In this way, both matters today have been resolved satisfactorily.

The foundry has been taken over by me, and the production of crossbows is now urgent.

Any enemy is merely a stepping stone for him to gain merit.

When Li Tian returned to his camp, he found a newly built tent standing there.

Zhao Erbao, Wu Tian, ​​Chen Jing, Sun Sanqiang, Wu Laoliu and several of his men were busy setting up the new tent.

"Old Wu, who delivered this tent?" Li Tian asked with a smile.

Wu Laoliu turned around and said with delight, "Squad Leader, you're back. It's really strange today. Not long after you left, the Fengzi Battalion brought us a new tent and twenty taels of silver for medical expenses."

"Isn't that strange!"

Li Tian laughed heartily, "It was simply the will of Heaven."

Of course, he didn't mention that he beat Qin, the captain of the Fengzi Battalion, so badly that he wet his pants.

Before long, everyone finished their work, washed up, and went to bed.

Soon, night fell.

Inside a large tent located on the north side of the military camp, candlelight was burning brightly.

A tall, imposing man in golden armor sat in the main seat. He appeared to be in his fifties, with a beard and piercing eyes, exuding a fierce and powerful aura.

He was none other than Zuo Lianfeng, the commander of the elite Fengzi Battalion!

Sitting at the lower end of the table was a young man with a bruised and swollen face.

It was Chen Xinchang, the nephew of Bai Lianfeng, who was forcibly driven away from the foundry camp by Li Tian today.

At this moment, Chen Xinchang frowned deeply and looked at the man sitting in the main seat, who was his uncle, and complained.
