Chapter 102 3-star Armor - Dark Rock, Exploring the Ruins (5600 words)
After the ancient tree guardians were arranged, Lear was in a very beautiful mood.
While thinking, let the others disperse and call Ishani alone.
He looked at the night elf with slight admiration.
"The secret technique works well, I'm very satisfied."
The simple compliment made Ishani feel flattered.
“It’s our pleasure”
His eyes no longer had the arrogance they had before, but were full of awe.
The person in front of her was an existence she could not imagine, and the terrifying pressure that penetrated into her soul was still in her heart.
Lear said softly.
"You said before that you control the manufacturing blueprints for 3-star armor?"
Ishaani nodded.
"Yes, sir, those are the drawings I got by chance hidden in a cave."
He spoke without hesitation, stretched out his hand, and a gray-black parchment appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Hands forward respectfully.
"grown ups."
This look made Lear look at her deeply, and he reached out to take it without hesitation.
Opening it slowly, there were only densely packed runes on it, which had nothing to do with forging.
As I watched intently, detailed panels appeared in my mind.
Dark Rock Armor Forging Blueprints
[Level]: 3 stars
[Armor Features]: 1. As solid as a rock, the armor's strength is increased by an additional 70%, and the shock caused by heavy weapon attacks reduces the damage by 60%.
2. Full-body armor. The inscriptions can spread the damage, allowing the entire armor to withstand the enemy's attack. Unless the entire armor is broken, it will not be penetrated or damaged.
3. When darkness falls, activate the inscriptions on the armor to exude a unique pressure, which can echo with the nearby dark rock armor to increase the pressure and cause additional spiritual impact on the enemy.
[Required for forging]: 300 units of steel-making, super high forging skills.
[Evaluation]: Indestructible armor, but the skill required for forging it far exceeds that of armor and weapons of the same level.
3 features? !
Lear's eyes narrowed slightly.
And these characteristics are extremely fierce and not garbage.
It is indeed a 3-star level armor.
If they were all forged, the ferocity of the cold-blooded cavalry would be even higher if these warriors were put on! !
Comfortable.
"The forging skills are hidden in these runes. You only need to drop blood on the first and last runes to get them."
Ishani said with some emotion in her tone.
"The materials required for this set of 3-star armor are not high-end. It can be cast with ordinary steel, but it requires superb forging skills."
"Our tribe does not have such talents, so they have never been put to use."
This is the tragedy of small tribes. Even if they get good things, it is often difficult to put them to use.
Lear also thought about what Bain said before, that the mire people had obtained flying dragon cubs but were unable to raise them.
However, just because the Night Elves and Miremen can't do it, it doesn't mean that the City of Dew can't do it.
"Do you know the Frye people?"
Ishani was a little surprised.
"Those races that were cursed by the God of Forging? Are they not extinct yet?"
There are not many races that can be cursed by gods. The deeds of the Fry people are quite legendary and will be mentioned more or less in legends related to gods.
Of course, more often than not, use them as negative examples.
Lear said meaningfully.
"They are in the territory and are responsible for running the blacksmith shop in Weilu City."
Ishani's heart skipped a beat and she wanted to say something, but when she thought of the scene just now, it felt inexplicably reasonable.
Lear didn't say much, waved his hand and led her straight to the blacksmith shop.
After half a month of operation, the blacksmith shop has been on the right track, and the sound of tinkling can be heard every day.
Thirty Fry people became full-time blacksmiths, responsible for forging items needed for various territories.
More than 500 cavemen are mining the iron ore, and every other week, a large amount of ore is obtained to supply forging.
When the territory was first established, everything was lacking, including more iron tools. During this period, they were too busy to touch the ground.
Breen, the leader of the Frye people, was appointed by Lear as the chief blacksmith of the blacksmith shop and was responsible for all matters of the blacksmith shop.
Armor is also being developed for the cold-blooded cavalry.
As soon as Lear entered the blacksmith shop, he immediately felt a chill coming over him.
Turning around, I saw that the surrounding vines were absorbing heat like crazy, making the temperature inside the house much lower than outside.
But take a few steps inside and the temperature suddenly rises.
Looking closely, three stoves were burning in the center area, emitting scorching heat.
You can feel the heat wave if you get a little closer.
Without the vines to absorb the heat, I might not be able to stay in this room.
Vine provides a great working environment for all.
The Frye people are almost completely satisfied with this.
Seeing Lear's arrival, Brin, who was busy, immediately put down his work, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and strode forward.
"Sir~"
After saluting, he felt himself covered in sweat and subconsciously took two steps back.
Lear nodded.
"It's been a hard day these days."
As he spoke, he handed the gray-black parchment to him, informed him of the secret information it contained, and finally signaled to the night elf beside him.
"The blueprints for this set of armor were obtained by Ishani. The forged armor has a grade of up to 3 stars and can be forged with just ordinary steel."
"The only requirement is extreme forging skills."
These words made Bryn puff out his chest.
People in Fry dare not recognize other things, but blacksmithing skills are their lifeblood.
Lear said and asked him to drop blood on the first and last inscriptions.
Brin immediately followed the instructions, and the moment the blood dripped on it, the entire inscription seemed to come to life, turning into tadpole-like fonts and all pouring into his mind.
In an instant, all the blood was gone, and the gray-brown parchment in front of him returned to its original state.
After Brin closed his eyes and digested it silently for a moment, he opened his eyes again. The bearded man patted his chest and said.
"grown ups!"
"The forging skills of this set of armor are quite exquisite. With this as a reference, within half a month, armor suitable for cold-blooded cavalry will be produced!"
These 3-star armor manufacturing drawings are only for reference.
There is strong confidence in the tone.
As for how to forge the cold-blooded cavalry's armor, after half a month of research and experiments, he already had a relatively complete plan in mind.
Moreover, after gradually acquiring the knowledge passed down by the sages in his mind, even if this was not done, the blacksmith shop would be able to start forging by the end of the month at most.
The countless years of knowledge passed down by the Fry people cannot be compared to an additional forging blueprint.
Lear nodded with satisfaction, it was just so reassuring to him.
"Very good. If you need any supplies, tell Bain directly. Everything will be supplied to the blacksmith shop first!"
"Yes, sir!"
Breen deserved it and it was straightforward.
After coming to Weilu City, whether it is daily needs, the house where you live, or the working environment, everything is first-rate.
Compared to the days when he was imprisoned by the rotten centaur in the dark dungeon forging, it was simply a dream life.
If he doesn't make some achievements, he will feel ashamed to see others.
Not to mention that adults have placed such high hopes on him!
Now that the matter is over, Lear asked Ishani to go back to the city hall first.
At the same time, summon Bain.
“How many residential vacancies are there currently?”
"There's still half of it."
Wetland lizard warriors do not live in residential areas. Currently, only marsh people, Delsa people, and Fry people live there.
"Clean out a group and let the night elves live there."
"Where are the unicorns we obtained from the blood thieves in the wilderness?"
"They are kept on the east side of the territory."
"Deploy 150 horses and give them to the night elves to ride. I will organize them into a battle sequence later."
The best way to assimilate them is to let them fight with the army. It is easier to cultivate loyalty during the war.
At the same time, it is also convenient to monitor their movements at any time.
With the divine presence, he can clearly understand his emotions, and if he has thoughts of betrayal, he can respond immediately.
"yes!"
Lear finished his instructions and continued to ask after thinking for a moment.
"Now give me an overall report on the construction status of Weilu City."
Bain immediately became serious. It would be embarrassing if he did not do well in the assessment work of his superiors.
After organizing his words, he said seriously.
"Sir, we currently have a total of 100 three-story residential buildings, all built in the previously planned ↑ north living area."
“It can be expanded later to increase the number to 300 buildings.”
“If we exceed this range, we need to move the fish ponds outward and expand the land area.”
"But there are starry sky vines, and they can be extended at any time."
Lear nodded.
There are 300 buildings, each with 6 rooms, that is 1,800 rooms. Each room can accommodate a family of four, which works out to six to seven thousand people.
It is enough to meet the expansion needs in a short period of time.
"→ To the east, in the planned military area, military camps are currently being built to house the wetland lizards and the swift lizards, and a feeding ground for the cold-blooded cavalry has been built."
"The initially constructed military camp is expected to accommodate 3,000 people and will be completed by the end of the month."
"It is also equipped with a relatively complete living area for mounts."
"↓To the south, the blacksmith shop, alchemy workshop, and tailor shop in the industrial area have been completed."
Bain reported in an orderly manner.
"The blacksmith shop is forged by the Frye people, and it can barely meet our needs at the moment."
"The alchemy workshop is managed by Doniya, but she is currently the only alchemist in the territory, so it has not officially started operation yet."
"The tailor shop has recruited more than 20 people to be responsible for the daily clothing needs of the territory, but it lacks raw materials for making cloth. Currently, it is mainly repairing. It is also responsible for the construction of some furniture and daily necessities. The work is relatively complicated."
“← To the west, in the commercial area, construction has not started yet.”
"In addition, the central area is divided into a knowledge square for theater performances and teaching."
Speaking of this, the tone was somewhat emotional.
"Sir, those swamp banshees are really a gift from the goddess. Use them to teach people knowledge, and the effect is great!"
Education has always been a long investment process, and the results may not be seen until ten or even twenty years later. But it was only half a month.
All residents of Weilu City can read and write at least 400 characters!
For daily use, there is no problem at all.
This is valuable knowledge.
Even when recruiting city hall staff these days, we can clearly feel that the quality of talent is improving.
For this reason, he gritted his teeth and slowed down recruitment. If he waits for a few months, there might be higher-level talents to choose from.
After listening to the report, Lear had a more accurate understanding of the overall development process of the territory.
Hearing the last emotion, he nodded in agreement and deeply felt the effect of the Swamp Banshee during this period.
Knowledge is the ladder to wisdom, and your cognitive abilities will be greatly improved.
It means a lot to the territory.
Knowledge is productivity.
As he thought about it, his tone became a little heavier.
"After these buildings are finished, we will build the Hall of Valor near the City Hall."
“The deeds of our fallen heroes should be known to everyone.”
"In the future, the theater troupe will also rehearse related deeds into dramas, praise the performances, and let everyone know their efforts!"
Bain nodded excitedly.
"yes!!"
The Hall of Heroes, this is a legendary thing, and it is about to take its place now, and he may even become one of them in the future and be praised by future generations.
My inner emotions rose instantly, and I couldn't control my excitement.
"The construction of the Hall of Heroes cannot be designed according to ordinary buildings. It must be serious, solemn, and at the same time full of light. When you step into it, you can feel the tragedy of the hero, and you must also feel the hope."
"Sir, I will do my best!"
Lear looked at Bain's impatient look, nodded, and without saying much, asked him to go down and make arrangements.
After a lot of work, the sky has darkened.
A bright moon hung high in the sky, and stars began to appear faintly.
Turning around to look, the starry sky vines in the territory were emitting colorful streams of light.
Dots of stars float above it.
It gives people a feeling like being in a dream.
If the entire territory is filled with buildings made of starry sky vines, then at night, there won't even be a need for lights.
This will be a city that can only be seen in dreams.
Looking at the buildings rising all around, I felt a strong sense of accomplishment.
The city of Weilu was built bit by bit by him from scratch.
It was a wonderful feeling.
At this moment, people who had finished their dinner came to the Knowledge Square in front of the city hall and began to prepare for today's study.
From rejection at the beginning to proactiveness now.
The Swamp Banshee contributed a lot to this.
No one would dislike the amount of knowledge they have gained, but most of the time, they fail because they can't learn anymore and have no choice.
But here, the swamp banshees can fully activate their wisdom and impart knowledge in the most efficient way.
This feeling of being able to feel your progress day by day is addictive.
Lear looked at the Swamp Banshee who was also enjoying it and smiled.
It is full of vitality and everything is in full swing.
Maybe that's the best description.
Early the next morning, September 13th.
The transformation of the last batch of cold-blooded cavalry is completed.
Lear watched these fierce warriors enter the battle sequence, and the sleepiness of the morning was swept away.
Full of emotions.
At this point, the half month of violence has come to an end.
And the results are exaggerated.
3-star potential, level 11, a legendary unit among the lizardmen.
He currently has 55 teams!
When all the cold-blooded cavalry are neatly arranged in the open space to the west of ←, looking at them, you can feel their fierce oppression.
Seeing this, the ordinary residents who were about to leave their territory to work felt chills running down their spines, their whole bodies became weak, and they did not dare to approach at all.
Even when we go very far away, the two waves are still fighting.
Lear could not imagine the exaggerated destructive power such heavy cavalry would cause once it charged the enemy!
That would be devastating.
The pride in my heart soared.
He took a deep breath and waved his hands suddenly.
"All troops set out!"
Today’s goal—ancient ruins!
Cyclops, Swamp Banshee, Bubble Beast, Flesh Slayer, Haggoth, plus 15 teams of night elves, and 12 ancient tree guardians all went with the team.
In the sky, the scarlet queen bee led a swarm of 50,000 bees, flapping her wings and covering the sky and the sun.
40 level 12 ancient tree guardian trees protect the territory.
This time they came out in full force, targeting ancient ruins.
He is bound to win!
Lear, who was sitting on the canopy of an ancient tree guardian tree, looked through the information triggered when he last explored the ancient ruins after the army left the territory.
The first is that the gate is ten times heavier than an ordinary gate. Only the Cyclops can open it with the power of blood. The gate will automatically close after it is opened, and it can only be reopened when it reaches the core of the ruins.
The second article is more important -
[The ruins are the remains of the goblin civilization, and they contain precious treasures, even 5-star level treasures. But again, the ruins are guarded by extremely fierce mechanical golems, with levels reaching level 10 and more than a thousand in number. The most powerful one is the level 14 mechanical golem king. 】
The enemies are fierce this time, with more than a thousand mechanical golems above level 10, and the most powerful mechanical golem king is as high as level 14.
This half month of development is to cultivate enough cold-blooded cavalry to deal with it.
Now that he has the military power in his hands, he can even launch a small battle.
Such a big movement also aroused heated discussions among the residents of the territory.
One by one, they turned to watch the army go away.
I have mixed feelings.
"The lord has set off again. The enemy this time must be very strong, otherwise the lord would not have led so many troops."
"Yes, it's a pity that I can't become a warrior, otherwise I would have to follow you into battle to kill the enemy!"
"They are all our troops. I hope there will be no casualties this time. I don't want to bury our soldiers again in the Tomb of Heroes."
"May the goddess bless you."
Under the propaganda during this period, the idea that the army fought for territory and for all residents has been firmly planted in everyone's hearts.
The cohesion of the territory became very strong.
There is no such thing as the mentality of being indifferent to yourself.
The army headed south, and after nearly a month, they once again arrived at the ancient ruins discovered by the half-murlocs.
The site of the ruins is covered by a giant tree, and countless vines are involved, forming a grid. The diameter of the tree crown covers more than a hundred meters.
Primitive, ancient, and full of life.
As soon as he got closer, the elf's eyes lit up.
Then he shook his head with regret.
"Unfortunately, this tree is controlled by magic and cannot be activated."
Lear turned to look at Ishani.
"There are still enough big trees in the wilderness for us to help."
Ishani smiled slightly happily and nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, sir."
With Weilu City as their support, they no longer fight alone before.
This feeling is great.
Leading the army through the jungle of vines that entwined from the tree crown to the ground, they came to the front of the tree trunk.
Look up.
The moss-covered, ancient relic stone door comes into view.
It grows on the trunk of a tree, with a height of more than 15 meters and a width of 10 meters. The feeling of passage of time rushes towards you.
This stone door involves the entire ruins. If it is destroyed by violent means, it will cause collapse and damage for several kilometers around it.
We can only use the most primitive method.
"Cyclops, go up and open the stone door!"
After hearing the order, the Cyclops had recovered from his injuries in the past few days and should be full of energy.
He was six meters tall, and his muscles seemed to be carved out of shape. He was filled with life that was almost bursting with power as he strode forward.
Hold the stone door with both hands and step back with one foot to form a lunge.
The muscles bulged and exerted force suddenly.
You can feel the terrifying power erupting from that body from a distance.
But Shimen remained motionless.
The whole process was in a stalemate for five minutes, just when the army thought that not even the Cyclops could push open the stone door.
A unique power quietly emerged from the opponent's body, and a faint bronze light escaped.
The next moment, the stone gate also emitted dots of light, echoing it from afar.
The Cyclops' breathing became heavier and heavier.
ah! !
A deep growl came from his throat.
The stone door clicked and moved for a moment, and then with a burst of energy and a rumble, it gradually opened inside.
Completely pushed away!
A dark doorway appeared in front of me.
Done!
Lear laughed.
At this moment, something seemed to be touched all around.
The tall tree suddenly gave off a metallic luster.
Hua la la, the branches trembled for a while.
The surrounding vines dried up instantly as if their life force had been drained, and fell from the tree trunks.
At the same time, the green leaves seemed to have been soaked in a dyeing pool, quickly turning into a metallic color.
In an instant, the vibrant tree in front of him turned into an iron tree that looked like it was made of steel, reflecting the unique luster of metal.
The entrance to the dark hole was also lit up at this moment.
Lear's breath trembled slightly, and his eyes became hot.
"Scarlet Queen, let the swarm explore the way ahead."
"The guardian of the ancient tree people will stay at the door and take root to prevent the enemy from cutting off our retreat."
"The rest of the army, follow me into the ruins!"
