Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 722 704. Recasting

After understanding what level of difficulties they would encounter in the recent period and what the consequences would be if these difficulties could not be solved, the people in the investigation team became active with jaw-dropping efficiency.

The overall plan formulated by the Commander-in-Chief followed Lan En's tactical ideas.

That is to say, we do not seek to build a wall that can block the Molten Dragon on its path.

Instead, they arranged continuous attack points along the line to make the molten mountain dragon, which was already about to die of old age, feel exhausted and in pain.

According to Guy, the hunter of the dragon tribe, the Molten Dragon originally had its own route, and its final destination would be a place where its energy could be returned harmlessly to nature after death.

Now I am just confused by something, like a moth flying into a flame, heading towards the wrong place.

In general, its direction is based on a biological instinct that is neither strong nor firm.

As long as the investigation team gives it enough blows on this route, it will naturally give up this route if it feels uncomfortable.

At that time, it doesn't matter whether it wants to die in the ocean or simply die on land.

Even when you die, your energy will be detonated. But it's still better than exploding in the Leyline Corridor.

Death under ordinary circumstances is like lighting a pile of loose gunpowder in an open space. You can call it fireworks.

But if the Lava Mountain Dragon dies in the Earth Corridor, it is equivalent to pressing this pile of scattered gunpowder into a confined space, which can be called a bomb.

After clarifying the battle plan, the survey team's convoy set up camp in the wasteland of the Big Ant Mound and began intensive work.

The technology of this world relies heavily on natural products.

For example, for gunpowder and explosives, it is more convenient to use gunpowder grass grown on the land than artificial gunpowder.

By rubbing the spider webs and ivy leaves of this world together, you can easily and quickly get a strong web.

The various types of ammunition and warheads used by hunters in their light crossbows and heavy crossbows are also the products of simple processing of natural plants with different functions.

For example, the unique shape of the spiral fruit is used to create penetrating bombs, as well as poisonous bombs using poisonous mushrooms.

This time the investigation team originally moved all their own property here.

Hunters are now going around to accumulate supplies for the battle in the future.

Collect fire herbs, make healing potions, secret potions, rope ladders, nets, make crossbows from monster materials, transport and assemble cannons.

People are needed everywhere, and all kinds of materials need people to collect.

The technical staff of the second phase of the mission are now too busy to move away from the temporary furnace.

They had to create crossbow ammunition, artillery ammunition, and various steel accessories.

But even in such a busy situation, Lan En still went to the temporary furnace and placed an order there.

[Turbidity Current]'s performance is becoming increasingly incompatible with the purpose given to it at the beginning of its forging: against large monsters and powerful attacks as Lan En grows.

Although the current appearance can match the hunters' sword skills, Lan En has already had two battles with the two barbarian jaw dragons - Fiery Claw and Nergigante, because the weight and volume of the blade are not enough. It did not cause the expected lethality.

If it weren't for his solid skills and extraordinary body, he would have met the King of Hell long ago if he had made two tactical mistakes.

So before he had to fight against several ancient dragon-level creatures this time, he had to raise the [Turbid Current] to a level that he could trust.

The leader of the second group, who should have little time, personally accepted his commission because of his interest in Valyrian steel.

This was already a week ago.

Today was the time when Lan En came to pick up the goods.

But what surprised Lan En was that he did not see the one-eyed uncle beside the busy temporary furnace. Instead, it was his eldest disciple who was coordinating and managing the operation of the entire furnace.

"If you want to come get that thing, the master has opened a small workshop for himself in the west. He said that if you arrive, go find him there."

The great apprentice in the forging area said this, but his expression was very complicated.

Lan En can understand the enthusiasm and persistence of high-level and demanding craftsmen for the work itself when faced with a challenging job.

But the eldest disciple of the leader of the second group now has an expression of reluctance and fear, saying, "I really want to complete this commission, but I can't do it no matter what."

Lan En originally wanted to ask him if he felt uncomfortable, but he waved his hand very impatiently and asked Lan En to leave quickly.

It was such a fuss that Lan En thought he had invited him to drink before, but he ended up feeling bad.

Following the guidance of the senior disciple in the forging area, Lan En easily found the small one-person workshop.

The small workshop is in sharp contrast to the temporary furnace not far away that adheres to the local rough and wild style.

The leader of the second group, a man with one eye, a skin that was red and black from the fire, a bald head, and a beard like a steel brush, was sitting on a pony at the entrance of the workshop.

But it was different from the previous impressions. This time, the always energetic and bold uncle showed obvious fatigue.

"Is the work I entrusted so difficult?"

Lan En walked up to him and did not rush to look inside the small workshop. Instead, he jokingly stood with his hands on his hips in front of the leader of the second group.

"Looking at you, you look like you're about to be boiled dry."

"Are you done?" The steel-brush-like beard trembled, revealing a wry smile. "That's right if you say so."

"Um?"

Lan En raised his eyebrows with a surprised expression.

He was just complaining casually, but he didn't think that his commission would really stump the great craftsman.

And even if he is stumped, with his heroic but stubborn character, he probably won't give in.

But now

Before Lan En could ask further questions, the leader of the second-phase regiment weakly raised his hand and pointed behind him with his thumb.

The small workshop with the fire out was very dark, but there were still a few beams of light shining through the cracks in the wall.

Dust in the air danced in these beams of light.

And under the reflection of a few rays of light, a huge object leaned in the shadow of the corner of the small workshop.

A layer of dusty felt cloth covered it, and one could only vaguely glimpse its rigid outlines.

"If we talk about technical factors alone, after you explained the technology of Valyrian steel to me, there is actually nothing that can stump me. After all, this kind of alloy steel has an unusually high degree of biological integration. I You don’t even need to do anything special. But..."

"but?"

The heroic uncle hesitated in a rare tone. This sight made Lan En ask with interest.

But the next words from the leader of the second group made Lan En's face suddenly stiffen.

This master craftsman, who had been working beside the furnace all his life, raised his bloodshot eyes and looked directly at Lan En.

"You used the predecessor of this sword to cut something terrible before."

"Right?"
