Chapter 830

No question about it, I want all of them.

Then he picked another 31 Quick-Work Talismans.

"Third Brother, are these the only 31 Quick-Work Talismans left?"

Zhao Cang said helplessly, "Didn't you buy up several hundred of them before? Now everyone's busy producing and building up their strength, and they all need Quick-Work Talismans. Having these 31 left is already pretty good."

"Oh, haha, then go ahead and calculate. I'll take these."

"Hmm… even with your 19 gold coins, plus this fire oil… altogether I still owe you 581 gold coins. Take it and keep it safe."

"Alright, then I'll be off. Thanks a lot, Third Brother."

"Mm, develop well."

After bringing the female soldiers back to the territory, Zhao Chi once again entered Tang Ruan's body and headed straight for the blacksmith's shop.

Last time when making the steel swords, he hadn't yet bought the improvement manual for the Phoenix Cry Blade, nor did he know those women could wield two-handed swords with one hand.

So they were all made into ordinary single-handed steel swords.

But it didn't matter—those 4 steel swords could be given to Zhao Chi to use.

This time he'd just remake them properly.

Two-handed swords need more steel ingots, about 3 each.

Of the remaining 4 ingots, give 4 to Gu Qing to make a steel shield, and use 24 to forge 8 Chengying Phoenix Cry Blades.

Give 2 to Gu Qing—1 to use, 1 as backup.

This way Gu Qing also has a full set of steel weapons.

Give 6 blades to Qi Yue. Qi Yue holds a steel shield in one hand and wields two-handed Phoenix Cry Blades in the other three hands, with another 3 as backup.

The remaining 4 ingots go to making two steel spears for Tang Ruan.

Tang Ruan can also use the Chengying Phoenix Cry Blade, but a spear suits her better.

After all, her main task is defense.

Her enhanced stat is also defense, not attack speed.

So her attack speed is ordinary.

Although the Phoenix Cry Blade's attack power is high, it can only deal real damage to enemies after their armor has been completely stripped away.

Someone with high attack speed like Qi Yue is the most suited to use it.

Spear-type weapons have slightly lower attack power than two-handed swords, but it's still enough.

The spear's characteristic is its penetration property—it can deal damage without needing to strip the enemy's armor first.

And the spear combat art "Thrust" can further increase penetration, able to pierce even ordinary iron armor.

But the most important thing is that "Thrust" can quickly shoot forward several meters.

Not only can it rapidly charge at the enemy to deal killing blows,

it can also quickly burst out from a group of enemies to withdraw from the battlefield.

This is very suitable for defensive-type soldiers.

So Tang Ruan will use a spear for now.

In just half a production cycle, all the steel equipment was completely forged.

【Name】Steel Spear

【Quality】Standard

【Durability】600

【Attack】68

【Pierce】41

The steel spear's stats are a full 1 times higher than the iron spear's.

It's even stronger than a two-handed iron sword.

After all, the material is different.

It's two tiers higher than iron quality.

It's only natural that the stats are higher.

Besides the high attack, the pierce is also very strong.

An iron shield and iron armor each have 26 points of defense, so even holding an iron shield, one would still take damage.

However, if one holds an iron shield and wears iron gauntlets, the two 26-point defenses stack and can indeed withstand this steel spear's attack.

But this is still very powerful.

After all, the materials are a tier apart.

And the steel Phoenix Cry Blade is even stronger.
