Chapter 44 Duan Kuan’s Knife
In the early morning, the sun shines brightly.
It heralds another sunny day.
After breakfast, Zhang Yang solemnly announced that he would build a more solid castle based on the original fortress.
Because all the conditions for construction are ripe and ready.
Speaking of which, he was quite proud of himself. From the time he came to this damn fantasy world to today, it had only been thirty-seven days.
But now,
He already has a quasi-hero and forty-two infantry captains under his command, all equipped with five spears of confinement.
Twenty-four archer captains, all equipped with 35 golden eagle armor-piercing arrows or wolf-tooth arrows.
Thirteen elite infantrymen.
One special soldier (ghost priest).
One special profession (mountain god).
One full-time craftsman (Zhao Tiezhu).
Ten craftsmen (three generations of residents) with secondary skill proficiency of 200 points.
Eight ordinary craftsmen (second-generation residents) with secondary skill proficiency reaching 80 points.
One instructor (Qin Ge).
There are 34 farmers.
2 cooks.
8 lumberjacks.
2 butchers.
There is one priest in the mountain temple.
There are 55 ordinary villagers.
There are also level 2 Wood Demon Tower, level 1 fortress, level 3 mountain temple, level 5 houses, 3 level 3 houses, 22 level 5 farmlands, level 3 training ground (expanded), level 3 barracks (expanded), and level 3 granary (newly built).
The stockpiled building materials include 5,000 logs and 1,500 units of stone.
Several tools.
Villager loyalty 59, village prosperity 125, livability index 12.5. (This data is updated at any time)
The village construction order reserves 16,000 units of monster meat and a number of various materials.
The blood of various monsters exceeds 800 units.
There are also 100 units of mountain monster blood containing a large amount of magical power, 200 units of giant horned deer blood, and 500 units of giant horned deer flesh and blood.
Finally, there is a reserve of 35,000 energy points.
It can be said that he is quite wealthy.
"start!"
With Zhang Yang's order, the construction of the castle officially began. There were four craftsmen in charge of the main construction: Zhang Chunlei, Wang Qiuyu, Chu Beifeng, and Zhao Tiezhu.
The first three people have built a total of three level 3 houses, a level 3 granary, and expanded the training ground and barracks in the past twenty-two days, so the proficiency of the secondary skill of building construction/repair has long exceeded 200 points, and is currently 225, 220, and 215 points, which is very strong. If it were not for the shortage of materials, they could all build level 4 houses.
As for Zhao Tiezhu, Zhang Yang trained him as an all-rounder and let him change jobs every five days. So although his secondary skills are not high now, they are the highest on average. His current proficiency in building construction/repair is 125 points, his proficiency in bow and crossbow making/repair is 125 points, and his proficiency in mining/smelting is 75 points.
This has resulted in his main skill proficiency reaching 75 points. If he continues to do so, it won't be long before he can create items with attributes.
So this time when building the castle, Zhang Yang also asked Zhao Tiezhu to participate. The most important thing is to improve his proficiency.
In addition to these four craftsmen, there were ten soldiers doing hard labor. The work of the rest remained unchanged, especially the mining of stone, which could not be interrupted because the construction of the castle depended entirely on this material.
"Village Chief?"
Just when Zhang Yang was about to find a place to start studying the Iron Wall Battle Pattern, Duan Kuan, one of the four members of the Violent Bear Group, came over with a sly look, looking quite nervous and uneasy.
"What's going on?"
Zhang Yang asked hurriedly. To be honest, among all the soldiers now, except for Wu Yuan, the quasi-hero, he valued the Violent Bear Quartet more. Although the four of them were classified as infantry captains, in fact, their personal combat effectiveness was about 20% higher than that of ordinary infantry captains.
And this is when they are fighting alone. If the four of them join forces, without using the Spear of Confinement, they can easily defeat ten infantry captains of the same level on the opposite side.
Even Wu Yuan himself admitted that if he faced the Violent Bear Four, the only outcome would be either surrender or escape.
However, among the four members of the Violent Bear Group, the one that Zhang Yang values the most is not Song Dachui with violent hands, not the dull and silent Wang Mumu, not Zhou Datou with a sinister and evil temperament, but Duan Kuan.
The reason is that Duan Duankuan is very responsible and smart. The previous mountain god haunted incident almost allowed him to find out the truth of the matter.
Therefore, Zhang Yang himself felt that among all the captain-level soldiers, the Violent Bear Quartet had the best chance of becoming heroes, but among the Violent Bear Quartet, Duan Kuan had the best chance of becoming a hero.
"Village Chief, please forgive me!"
Duan Kuan was still hesitant. After hesitating for a long time, he took off his long sword and handed it to Zhang Yang with both hands. "I dare to ask the village chief to nurture my long sword for me, just like you can turn ordinary trees into ironwood by nurturing them."
At this point, Duan Kuan's gaze was already quite hot, and Zhang Yang instantly understood his thoughts.
But this guy has an amazing imagination, even Zhang Yang himself didn't think of it.
"Are you sure this will work? You should know that your sword is of captain-level white quality, and it also has a sharpness +3 attribute. This is something that other people's captain-level swords can't compare to. What if I break it?"
Zhang Yang asked carefully, yes, because the weapons of the four violent bear gang were strengthened by the mountain monster's sledgehammer, Duan Kuan's sword was definitely the best sword in the village.
Normally, Duan Kuan treasured this long sword like his grandson. No, he treasured it like his wife or lover. He never left its side, whether eating, sleeping, or going to the toilet.
She would take it out and wipe it repeatedly when she had nothing to do. Her gentle, focused, and intoxicated expression made everyone feel jealous.
Sometimes when Zhang Yang asked Duan Kuan to cut down the ironwood that had been grown for a long time, this guy felt extremely distressed.
Why did he suddenly want to take such a risk this time? "Village chief, I have confirmed that I have been paying attention to the iron wood you have been nurturing these days. You really have the ability to turn decay into magic, so you will definitely be able to nurture my knife."
Duan Kuan simply knelt down and spoke very sincerely, but he didn't say that he would not blame him if the knife broke.
Zhang Yang's mouth twitched, and he wanted to ask, "What would you do if I broke this long sword?" However, considering that this sentence was too cruel to Duan Kuan, he didn't say it.
"I'll try. I can give you an answer before noon today. Now go do your work."
Zhang Yang finally agreed.
"No, Village Chief, I will protect you." Duan Kuan looked like an extremely loyal lackey.
Zhang Yang curled his lips, ignored him, and went straight to the Wood Demon Tower. Duan Kuan followed him closely and stood guard outside the Wood Demon Tower, his eyes wide open with a fierce look. If you didn't know him, you would think this guy was very loyal.
“Nice knife!”
Sitting in the Wood Demon Tower, Zhang Yang looked at the long sword carefully and couldn't help but admire it.
This long sword is too long and too heavy for people of average height, weighing a full thirty kilograms. Only the four members of the Violent Bear Group can wield it with ease.
Moreover, this long knife is really sharp. The hardness of the iron wood that Zhang Yang has been nurturing recently has almost reached the level of gray cast iron, but he can still use this long knife to cut and chop easily.
It is no exaggeration to say that one can cut iron like mud.
A few minutes later, Zhang Yang gathered his thoughts, cleared his mind of distractions, and then activated his soul force field.
At this moment, everyone within a radius of sixty meters shuddered and the hairs on their bodies stood up.
However, this feeling only lasted for a moment, and Zhang Yang retracted the soul force field in an instant and controlled it with ease.
This is the effect of rubbing the wooden spear every day for the past twenty days.
Practice makes perfect! When the soul force field shrunk to a diameter of five meters, Duan Kuan, who was standing outside and still thinking about protecting Zhang Yang, suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his heart began to beat uncontrollably, like a drum. He only endured it for a few seconds before he felt a lot of illusions in front of him. He quickly left the range, and then his face was full of fear. It was too horrible.
At the same time, the ghost priest living in the Wood Demon Tower also fled into the ground, thinking that a disaster was about to happen.
Even the exterior of the Wood Demon Tower began to tremble slightly.
Fortunately, a few seconds later, Zhang Yang further shrunk the soul force field, forming a range with a diameter of 1.5 meters, completely wrapping and covering the long sword.
Only then did everything return to normal.
In fact, Zhang Yang himself did not know that compressing the soul force field would have such an effect. In the past, he did not need to nurture the Spear of Confinement. A normal soul force field was enough.
But who can blame Duan Kuan for giving him a difficult problem this time? So he wanted to try a different approach to see if he could nurture the child successfully?
