Chapter 2697

"Main Clan": 7,823 people

"Silk Clan": 2,770 people

"Jade Clan": 2,280 people

"Moon Clan": 2,220 people

"Warm Clan": 2,220 people

【Total】: 17,312 people

Among them, over 7,800 of the Main Clan are craftsmen, while the four branch clans are all soldiers.

So including the over 4,000 not yet resurrected, Zhao Chi now has a combat force of nearly 9,500 people.

But the equipment is quite lacking.

【Equipment Status】

【Extreme Heavy Standard Quality】

"Xuan Nu Set": 4,500 sets

【Extreme Heavy High Quality】

"Xuan Nu Set": 100 sets

"Feng Ming Blade": 10,000 pieces

"Zhui Yue Spear": 2,800 pieces

"Li Yu Hammer": 1,000 pieces

【Status End】

The Xuan Nu Set includes the full Xuan Nu armor, plus the Xuan Nu shield.

But crafting a full set of extreme heavy equipment really takes too much time.

After all, it is extreme heavy; such a huge chunk of metal lump must be heated and forged, then cooled, then heated again...

It really takes too much time.

And the high-quality ones require double the time.

Zhao Chi has little time, so previously he equipped the female soldiers according to "Standard Steel Quality".

After all, even like this, it has 4,800 points of durability.

After merging into the body, it becomes 4,800 points of health, which is also very high.

So after Zhao Chi previously tried crafting a batch of high-quality equipment, he gave up and turned to making standard-quality ones.

Recently, since Zhuang Ya is not here, Zhao Chi has not crafted any equipment at all.

However, those female craftsmen have started producing wildly, occasionally making one or two excellent-quality pieces; now added together there are nearly ten sets.

And good-quality ones are even more numerous, roughly appearing to be several dozen sets.

But most craftsmen are still in the practice stage, and what they produce is mostly below rough quality.

But being able to craft successfully is already quite strong, after all this is "Super-Improved", "Extreme Heavy", and "Information-Moving" triple difficulty.

Cannot be too harsh on them.

Give them some more time.

The armor is ordinary, but the weapons are all high-quality.

After all, a weapon is only one piece; even if the crafting time is not short, it can still be prioritized.

Among them, the Zhui Yue Spears are equipped by the Jade Clan; there are still 2,800 pieces now, temporarily sufficient, so no need to make more.

The Li Yu Hammers are for the Silk Clan and Warm Clan to use.

With their deaths, now only 1,000 pieces remain in stock.

But the Li Yu Hammers do not need replenishing temporarily, after all the Holy Staves are already available.

Moreover, the Spirit Staff blueprints are being collected, and 3rd-tier wood has already been commissioned to Shopkeeper Wanyan for purchase.

Later, just equip them with Holy Staves and Spirit Staves.

Of course, if there is time, more Li Yu Hammers can still be made to equip them.

After all, spiritual power is limited.

After they exhaust their spiritual power, they might still use the great hammers to smash people, which is also very strong.

The Feng Ming Blades have the largest quantity.

However, this is after losing quite a number; there are still over 2,500 good-quality pieces, all excellent-quality ones having their durability consumed so severely they were downgraded.

Although the quantity is large, it is already insufficient.

Because the Moon Clan has six arms.

Zhao Chi allows them, according to actual circumstances, to choose a versatile 5-blade-1-shield assembly, or directly a 6-blade violent output assembly.

Anyway, their load-bearing capacity is extremely strong, allowing them to carry multiple weapons and switch at any time.

2,220 Moon Clan female soldiers need at least 13,320 blades; currently there is a shortage of over 3,300.

Moreover, 20 new Moon Clan members arrive every day, requiring extra ones to be made.

Tentatively plan to craft 5,000 blades.

This time, prioritize crafting Feng Ming Blades.

After the weapons are finished, shields can be crafted.

Do not make full Xuan Nu armor sets yet; first separate and craft the most commonly used shields; the full armor sets can wait until later when there is time, or after these female blacksmiths graduate.

More shields can be made.

Ideally, allocate 2 shields per person; that requires at least 20,000 shields.

But since armor is not yet made, first craft according to 1 shield per person; once all armor is also fully crafted, more shields can be made.

This time, a total of 5,500 shields are expected to be made; the standard type will suffice.

That is the plan.

After all, there are only three days.

Moreover, since it is being made inside Tang Ruan's body, it is estimated that only the replenishment of the Phoenix Cry Blade can be completed; the Profound Maiden Shield will definitely not be finished.

Never mind.

Make one if one can be made.

Start working!

Tang Ruan's first act was to jump into the fire pit.

Plop!

Flames leaped up!

Charcoal dust flew about.

Zhao Chi felt Tang Ruan's whole body was warm, especially her pair of white, tender legs stepping on the high-heat charcoal, giving a sensation like soaking feet in hot water...

Although it was a bit hot, it was far from painful; in fact, it felt somewhat exhilarating and comfortable.

Zhao Chi actually felt a bit of pleasure.

It should be the result of the combined effects of Tang Ruan's "Flame Creature" gene effect and her "masochistic hobby."

The only downside was that after her pink-white soles stepped a few times, they were dyed black by the charcoal dust.

Tang Ruan's feet were very soft and tender; with the lubricated skin, they became even more slippery and tender, very fun to play with.

Unfortunately, the charcoal ash was ultimately stronger.

Even Tang Ruan's feet could only be covered in black.

But it didn't matter; with the gene for lubricated skin, such external dirt could almost all be washed clean with just a splash in the spring water, having no real effect.

Not long after.

The steel ingot turned red-hot; Tang Ruan gripped the large hammer and struck down hard.

Tang Ruan did not possess Zhuang Ya's "Flame Oath" ability and could not increase the intensity of the flames.

But she could work while heating in the flames, narrowing the efficiency gap with Zhuang Ya to a certain extent.

Zhuang Ya remained the irreplaceable number one in forging, far ahead of everyone else.

But Tang Ruan, relying on continuous work and the use of Speed-Work Talismans an excessive number of times, became the second person in forging.

Additionally.

Zhao Chi already had not cooperated with Tang Ruan for some time.

Previously, when piloting Tang Ruan, he could use fifteen Speed-Work Talismans consecutively; by this time, Zhao Chi discovered that when he was with Tang Ruan, the limit for both of them had also increased.

It had become a terrifying twenty-plus!
