The small soldiers on the frontier at the beginning killed Liu Ye, the Han God of War, and Lu Lingqi

click!

The moment the two daggers collided, cracks appeared on the surface of the fine iron dagger made by Liu Ye.

Then it turned into pieces the size of fingernails and fell to the ground, making Liu Ye feel embarrassed.

Good guy, who is the fine iron dagger?

A pig iron dagger cut a fine iron dagger into pieces. No one would believe it.

But the facts were right in front of him, and Liu Ye could not tolerate disbelief.

It can only be said that Mr. Meng's forging skills are so superb that he can truly turn decay into magic.

"Do you understand?"

Old General Meng handed Liu Ye the fine iron dagger with only a small piece left.

Looking at the jagged fracture and the dense cracks inside, Liu Ye nodded thoughtfully: "It should be that the internal structure of the fine iron was damaged during the forging process, making it so fragile."

"Well, let's continue with the forging.

Remember, every weapon has its own forging method that best suits it. When you understand this, you will also understand the true meaning of forging. "

Throwing the dagger on the weapon rack aside, Mr. Meng took out the wine bottle and took a sip, then walked out of the casting room with his hands behind his back.

"Thank you, Mr. Meng, for your teaching."

Liu Ye didn't know that this man had heard about the problems he had in the forging process, so he came over to give him advice.

Afterwards, Liu Ye started a new round of forging.

This time, he no longer did the work perfunctorily. During the forging process, he constantly used his mental power to observe its internal changes, trying to find the best striking point and forging rhythm.

It's just that this thing is more difficult than he thought, and it can be said that one move can affect the whole body.

It took Liu Ye a whole morning to forge a total of four fine iron daggers, but none of them met the system requirements.

However, during this process, Liu Ye's forging skills also improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The forged daggers are each more sophisticated than the last.

Especially the last dagger, which can already initially hold up Meng Lao's pig iron dagger.

Dang, Dang, Dang! !

The knocking sound sounded again, and as the forging progressed, the movements of Liu Ye's hands became more relaxed and carefree.

He had a hunch that something would definitely happen this time.

Zhi~~

After the quenching was completed, a dagger with a crude but sharp edge was revealed.

The next second, a prompt from the system rang in my ears.

"Ding! You successfully forged a green quality weapon, achieved the elite achievement [Forging Elite], and received the reward: Reinforcement Stone*10"

A smile appeared on Liu Ye's face, and he picked up Meng Lao's pig iron dagger again to experiment.

Ding!

The two blades intersected, making an extremely crisp impact sound.

This time, the two daggers were evenly matched.

However, Liu Ye understood that there was still a huge gap between himself and Mr. Meng.

After all, one uses pig iron and the other uses fine iron. Liu Ye has already lost based on the material alone.

At best, he can now display the strength that fine iron should have, but he is still far away from Meng Lao's state of turning decay into magic.

Taking out a strengthening stone, Liu Ye still chose to strengthen the hand crossbow.

For no other reason than to enable it to successfully survive the catastrophe in the future.

As for the set of movable type printing tools, there is no need to worry too much.

First, it is not fully formed yet, and there are many characters that have not yet been created, so there is no need to rush to strengthen it.

The second is that the size of this thing is too big. There are thousands of characters alone. One or two strengthening stones will not play any role at all. It is better to use them all to strengthen the hand crossbow.

As the strengthening stones were integrated into it one after another, the hand crossbow became heavier and heavier, and the color became darker and darker, as if it was undergoing the baptism of time.

When all 10 strengthening stones are used up, the hand crossbow has completely changed.

There is no change in size, it is still only one foot long.

However, the appearance has changed a lot. The color has changed from maroon red to dark red now.

The originally smooth wood surface now has silver stripes, giving it an inexplicable sense of luxury.

I shook it in my hands and found it weighed almost ten kilograms.

This weight is already relatively heavy for a hand crossbow, which is known for its lightness and compactness.

But for Liu Ye, there is no difference at all whether it is 10 pounds or 20 pounds.

He stretched out his hand and pinched it until one-fifth of the strength was used, and then the hand crossbow made a faint clicking sound.

This hardness is comparable to fine iron.

With 11 strengthening stones, a piece of ordinary jujube wood has been strengthened into refined iron. This strengthening effect is simply incredible!

Although this strength is far from his Black Dragon Halberd, it is not impossible to survive the catastrophe.

The Heavenly Tribulation of the Heavenly Vein Divine Artifact is different from those of the acquired artifacts. The former contains the luck of the arts and is protected by the long river of literary Dao. Even the Heavenly Tribulation has to be a bit thin.

It's more or less what it means. You definitely can't kill it like you did with the acquired artifact.

This is called human nature.

……

After leaving Meng Lao's house, Liu Ye went to Lu Mansion.

This time I only stayed for an hour before saying goodbye and leaving.

The important thing was that Lu Bu kept watching and Liu Ye expressed that he was under a lot of pressure.

When I arrived at the military camp, I planned to ask Zhao Hong to apply for a mission to go out of the city to suppress bandits.

After all, there is still [Hundred Battles Soldier King] waiting to be completed.

But it came to nothing.

After asking, I found out that all the commanders in the military camp had been called to a meeting by Zhang Liao, and I didn't know what big move was going on.

It stands to reason that the barbarian army of 100,000 people has withdrawn from the territory of the Han Dynasty. With winter approaching, there should be no fighting in the near future.

"Forget it, if that's the case, then I'll lead my own team to patrol."

As a centurion, he still has certain autonomy in non-wartime situations, as long as he does not lead his men to do bad things.

Taking his remaining 50 or so men with him, Liu Ye began to search for barbarian figures everywhere on the grassland.

Although the army had withdrawn, it did not mean that all the barbarians had left the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Although the barbarians have achieved unification in name, in reality they still retain their tribal system.

Tribes of all sizes are scattered in the wilderness. Unless there is a large-scale military mobilization, they usually work independently and make a living by plundering everywhere.

There is no way, in the harsh environment of the wilderness, it is destined not to develop an agricultural civilization.

Half an hour later, Liu Ye discovered the first group of barbarian plundering teams.

There are not many, only about eighty.

This time Liu Ye did not choose to fight alone, but led his men to swarm forward.

After all, [Hundred Battles King] requires a battle scale of more than a hundred people, and Liu Ye obviously does not meet the requirements on his own.

The battle started quickly and ended even faster. In less than five minutes, the barbarians were completely wiped out.

As for our own side, there were no casualties.

In this kind of plain area, cavalry would be completely crushed against infantry.

Not to mention this kind of battle where the numbers are not much different, even if the number of people is 10 times different, the cavalry can still chase the infantry.

Let his men clean the battlefield, while Liu Ye wandered around on horseback, searching for the barbarians with the help of ultra-long-range sight.

It is worth mentioning that Dragonborn is still sleeping, and he is riding Lin Guang's original mount.

After a while, Liu Ye locked onto a group of targets again.

In one afternoon, Liu Ye led a team to wipe out fifteen barbarian troops, and the mission progress of "The King of Hundred Battles" reached 93/100.

There are only 7 battles left to reach the goal.

Liu Ye originally planned to take advantage of the night to go out and search, but when he conveyed this order to his men, he saw hesitation on their faces.

This left Liu Ye a little confused.

He knew very well that his subordinates were definitely not the kind of people who were greedy for life and afraid of death.

If this is the case, then there must be some reason that he doesn't know.

"But what's the difficulty?"

Liu Ye asked, but no one spoke.

"Shen Hao, you answer." This is a village chief under his command, a relatively stable type of person.

Shen Hao hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Have you not heard that it is not advisable to travel at night in the coldest month?"

Liu Ye was confused when he heard this. What is this called the end of the cold moon?

"Tell me carefully."

Although he was confused as to why his master didn't even know this bit of common sense, Shen Hao still explained it honestly.

The more Liu Ye listened, the wider his mouth opened.

There is only one thought in my mind: this world is so toxic.
