Chapter 363: Chapter 286: Alien Race and Holy Race (3)
They showed no fear of the incoming weapons, diligently dodging, blocking, and counterattacking.
The Wooden Spears that were previously semi-retired had been brought back into use.
The Blacksmiths had forged some iron spearheads and fixed them to the front of the Wooden Spears, modifying them into more powerful Javelins.
Although they were less powerful than true Javelins, their lethality was definitely much higher than that of Wooden Spears.
These women possessed great Power, so the force of their throws was not to be underestimated.
Now, each person could carry ten of them.
In future battles, they could throw a few volleys before engaging the enemy.
They had many Iron Shields now.
Although the 1,000 captured Iron Shields were mostly used, their Durability was almost full, so they could be treated as new.
Besides the Shield in their hands, the Female Soldiers also carried an extra one on their backs.
This way, during combat, they could use the Shield in their hands to defend against attacks from the front.
If an enemy attacked from behind, the Shield on their back could also provide protection.
Furthermore, during prolonged battles, if the Durability of the Shield in their hand ran out, they could just take the one from their back.
Now that their Weight stat was higher, many things had become much more convenient.
Just then, Gu Qing walked over.
She was holding a Big Iron Saber.
"My lord, take a look."
Zhao Chi took it.
[Name] Two-Handed Iron Saber
[Mass] Standard
[Durability] 400
[Attack] 38
[Destruction] 15
The saber was long and wide, even larger than a regular saber.
Since it was a Two-Handed Weapon, its Durability was also double that of One-Handed Weapons.
Its Attack Power was 38, which was 10 points less than a Steel Saber, but 14 points higher than a one-handed Iron Saber.
A Headshot would also be a one-hit kill.
If you hit the body, one strike would injure an enemy, two would critically wound them, and three would kill them.
The saber also had 15 points of the Destruction Attribute, which could deal extra Damage to the Durability of Equipment.
’As expected of a Two-Handed Saber, its Destructive Power is truly significant.’
’In terms of destroying Equipment alone, it’s already on par with a Steel Saber.’
"Where did you get this kind of Big Saber?"
Gu Qing smiled. "I had Ding Dang help me make this one. What do you think?"
"This saber’s not bad. You want to practice with a Big Saber now?"
Gu Qing smiled. "Not just me, but all of us. Everyone has Shields and Armor now, so Ding Dang and the other Blacksmiths have some spare production capacity. We can have them produce a batch of Two-Handed Iron Sabers."
Zhao Chi said, "These Two-Handed Sabers are indeed powerful, but you’d be sacrificing Defense. After all, you can’t hold a Shield if you’re wielding a saber with two hands."
Gu Qing giggled coquettishly. "Silly, have you already forgotten about the Gene Modification you just helped us with?"
Zhao Chi was stunned.
Of course he hadn’t forgotten.
But...
Gu Qing had already taken the saber back.
Then, with one hand, she swung it around wildly. SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH. Her movements were clean, crisp, light, and fast.
She could wield it perfectly with just one hand.
She could even perform flourishing slashes.
Gu Qing flipped her palm, and the Two-Handed Iron Saber came to a steady halt.
"How about it, my lord? Not bad, right?"
Zhao Chi was amazed. "So the Weight stat doesn’t just let you carry more items, it even lets you use Two-Handed Weapons with a single hand?"
Gu Qing smiled. "That’s right. I have no problem at all using this Two-Handed Iron Saber with one hand. There’s no burden, and it doesn’t affect my Attack Speed."
Zhao Chi said excitedly, "Then in that case, all the Female Swordsmen can equip a Big Saber in one hand and a Shield in the other?"
"Of course. I just had them try it. None of them had any issues."
"That’s excellent, Gu Qing. The lethality of the Female Swordsmen will be greatly increased this time."
"Hee hee, right? I’ll have Ding Dang and the others focus all their efforts on making Two-Handed Sabers then. Is that okay?"
"No problem, but you can go straight to making the Phoenix Cry Saber."
"The Phoenix Cry Saber? The difficulty will be a little higher, right?"
"Yes, but it doesn’t matter. With their Abilities, they can still do it. If they fail, they can just make another one. We have plenty of materials anyway."
"Okay, I’ll go to the Blacksmith’s Shop and let them know."
Gu Qing walked away, swaying her hips.
Zhao Chi went directly to find Tang Ruan.
When Tang Ruan saw Zhao Chi, she immediately pulled a hat out of the System Space.
"My lord, are we going to make oil again?"
"Not this time. We’re going to the Blacksmith’s Shop to make Two-Handed Sabers."
"Oh, Sister Gu Qing already talked to you, right? We all just tried it and had no problems. The only downside is that they’re hard to carry."
"They are indeed a bit more troublesome than one-handed sabers. You’ll just have to get used to it."
Of course Two-Handed Sabers were hard to carry.
An ordinary single-handed saber could just be slung at the waist, but a Two-Handed Saber basically had to be carried on the back.
However, the Attack Power of a Two-Handed Saber was 50% higher than a one-handed saber, and its Destructive Power was a whopping 200% higher!
With such a huge improvement, the inconvenience of carrying it could be ignored.
Zhao Chi slipped into Tang Ruan’s body.
Just as they reached the Blacksmith’s Shop, they ran into Gu Qing, who was on her way out.
"Hm? Tang Ruan, what are you doing here? Did you need me for something?"
Tang Ruan smiled and shook her head.
Gu Qing also smiled. "Oh, I get it. The lord is inside you. Are you here to make the Phoenix Cry Saber?"
Zhao Chi said, "That’s right. I’m leaving the territory’s affairs to you."
Gu Qing smiled. "I’m happy to lighten your burden, but didn’t you say Ding Dang and the others are perfectly capable? If you want to make them quickly so everyone can be equipped, you could actually give the Speeding Charms to Ding Dang and the others. It wouldn’t be a waste."
’That... seems to be the case.’
The reason Zhao Chi was constantly crafting items himself was, ultimately, because the things he made were too difficult for others.
The Super-Improved Fashion, as well as the Super Bright Kerosene, could only be made by Zhao Chi for the time being.
But this kind of Iron Equipment could be completely handed over to Ding Dang and the others.
Normally, their work time was 20 hours, which meant they could use two Speeding Charms consecutively each time.
They all had High-Efficiency Shirts and professional Forging Skills. With two Speeding Charms, they could produce three Phoenix Cry Sabers.
