(Apologize to all readers, Kawen. The chapters in the past few days have turned and turned, and I am going to be surrounded by them.)

"Iron Legion?" Wu Fanghai thoughtfully, looking at a small piece of steel plate placed on the table by Zhang Hao and a knife made of steel and meditating slightly.

Although Wu Fanghai had heard of this new "steel", he had first contacted it.

I slowly looked up at the bustling town outside the window. This is Changshan Town; three months ago, Changshan Town was a small town, a remote town, and it was not as prosperous as it was. But today's town is crowded with people.

Of course, Changshan Town now has become part of the Zhang family’s fiefdom.

These days, Wu Fanghai did not approach the Zhang family, but stationed in the town, including his 10,000 elite troops. This period was Wu Fanghai's relatively leisure time, and because he had close contact with the Zhang family, he considered a lot of things.

Wu Fanghai vaguely saw a new development direction, but it was hazy and unreal. Until today, after Zhang Hao proposed the concept of the Iron Legion with two steel samples, Wu Fanghai suddenly realized!

Yes, this is my own idea - completely use black iron to arm every soldier to his teeth!

"The cultivation level is not enough to supplement the magic weapon!" This sentence has been circulating for a long time in this prosperous era of practice, but in the past, this statement was mostly directed at individuals; and for soldiers, this statement is a bit far away - because no country has the financial and material resources to arm every soldier.

To equip all soldiers with magic weapons or "top magic weapons" with magic weapon capabilities, a massive amount of black iron is required, more than 90% of the black iron. The amount of this black iron will definitely make people desperate.

Even an ordinary casual cultivator in the Golden Elixir stage does not have enough financial resources to buy "a complete set of magic weapons".

However, the emergence and development of the Zhang family have changed the situation. However, Wu Fanghai has always been unaware of the cost of the Zhang family's black iron, and is embarrassed to speak in this regard. The 5,000 tons of black iron supported by the Zhang family have already made Wu Fanghai a little embarrassed.

Looking down at the small steel plate on the table and the knife made of steel, Wu Fanghai asked carefully: "This thing is cost... well... the Zhang family really has the ability to arm the 10,000 elites here?

These ten thousand elites are at least in the foundation-building stage, and require magic weapons!”

"Editant father, don't worry, the Zhang family is capable of doing things like weapons and armor, and the Zhang family already has the technology of mass production.

But there is a characteristic of steel weapons, and the adoptive father needs to know about it."

"you say."

"The adoptive father, the steel is very hard, and only the Nascent Soul stage can have the ability to carve the formation on it. Therefore, we can provide every soldier with weapons and armor made of steel, but we cannot carve the formation on it.

Therefore, the weapons and armor we can provide... do not come with any magical powers. In other words, we can only provide whiteboard equipment! But this whiteboard is not a wooden board, but a steel board."

Wu Fanghai was stunned, "If you don't have magical powers? Is it still useful?"

Zhang Hao gently pushed the steel plate and knife on the table to Wu Fanghai: "Entertainment Father, you can try it."

Wu Fanghai thought for a while, pulled out the sword from his waist and slashed at the steel plate.

"Sharp!"

Sparks were everywhere, and amid the trembling sound, the steel plate was embedded in the table, with almost no trace on the surface, while the long sword in Wu Fanghai's hand had been curled.

"This..." Wu Fanghai was really shocked when he looked at the long sword that was obviously sunken.

"Entertainment Father, this is steel." As he said that, Zhang Hao picked up the knife on the table and stabbed it at the steel plate. After a harsh sound, the knife actually pierced through the steel plate.

Zhang Hao said lightly: "This steel plate is ordinary steel; and this knife is high-end steel after folding and forging."

Wu Fanghai pulled out the knife hard, thought for a while, and gritted his teeth and slashed at his sword; but when he heard a dull sound, there was a dull sound of the knife slashing the wood, and the long sword was cut off directly!

But Wu Fanghai did not stop. He suddenly activated a little defense on the broken sword, and a layer of formation light appeared on the surface of the broken sword. When the knife fell down again, it was blocked by the formation.

Wu Fanghai looked at Zhang Hao and shook his head slightly: "Xiao Hao, if we only talk about the material, the steel is indeed very good and very excellent. However, if the seal carving formation cannot be engraved on it, then... it is flashy!"

Zhang Hao frowned, were he taking it for granted? The world of practice... the world of practice...

"Wait...Entertainment Father, we can be on the steel surface...I have a way! But we need some formation masters to guide."

“What method?”

"Entertainment Father, have you heard of 'burning porcelain'?"

"Oh...I understand, your idea...maybe you can try it. I have a master of formation here. Come and call Cheng Tao."

After a cup of tea, a calm, ordinary-shaped middle-aged man came. He came to Wu Fanghai and greeted him softly: "Master."

"Come on, Cheng Tao, come here.

Xiaohao, let me introduce you to Cheng Tao, who is in the early stage of the Nascent Soul, has been with his foster father for hundreds of years. He is the best formation master around him. Moreover, Cheng Tao is most familiar with some formations used on the battlefield.

Perhaps Cheng Tao is not a top formation master, but he is the formation master who knows the battlefield best in Qixia Country."

Turning his head, Wu Fanghai said to Cheng Tao: "Cheng Tao, this is Zhang Hao. Go to Zhang Hao to help you, let Zhang Hao introduce it to you in detail."

Zhang Hao looked at him, but Cheng Tao had a firm face and a bright and sharp eye. His eyes were full of scrutiny, suspicion, etc.

Zhang Hao looked in the other party's eyes and spoke directly about what had just happened.

Cheng Tao first looked at the knife and steel plate on the table, frowned and thought for a moment: "Mr. Zhang, I am a straightforward person and I don't like to waste time around the bush.

The method you mentioned is afraid that it won't work! Because as far as I know, the royal family has tried this idea, but it has not succeeded.

Not to mention anything else, just saying that if you want to 'burn porcelain', you need to continue and stable, large-scale strange fire. This is difficult to achieve!"

Zhang Hao smiled: "Then Master Cheng, is it helpful for your current national situation?"

"……No!"

"So, come with me and give it a try, how about it?"

"Haha... it's interesting and interesting. I was thinking just now, what method do you plan to convince me. Okay, I'll go with you.

However, judging by the current situation, the Grand Marshal may leave at any time. And I will definitely be with the Grand Marshal! In other words, I may not be able to stay here for a long time."

"I understand. Zhang Hao thanked the master first." Zhang Hao did what he said and stood up to thank him.

Cheng Tao sat generously. As an excellent formation master in the Nascent Soul stage, he had his own pride.

Wu Fanghai smiled faintly and looked at the scene in front of him. To be honest, at the beginning, he accepted Zhang Hao as his adopted son, and was a little helpless and even a little angry; but at this time, he admired Zhang Hao...

This boy is really extraordinary.

Cheng Tao is decisive in his work and is about to leave.

"Wait, I have another question. Adopted Father, I have always had a question, why do I see you and many military personnel rarely use flying swords, etc. Do you prefer to use top magic weapons?

Whether it is the princess, the guards around the princess, Hu Yinglan, etc., or even many palace guards, as well as the adopted father and the guards around them, they all use top magic weapons."

"This...haha...this is really a good question, but it cannot be explained in just a few words. Let's do it, and you and Cheng Tao go as you go."

Well, Wu Fanghai said this, so Zhang Hao had to say goodbye and leave with Cheng Tao.

Along the way, Cheng Tao began to explain: "Young Master Zhang, the reasons for the use of magic weapons on the battlefield are quite complicated.

First of all, the magic weapon is connected to the aura of the practitioner. If the magic weapon is damaged, it will inevitably affect the practitioner himself. Do you know this?"

Zhang Hao nodded.

"So you think, the battle situation on the battlefield is so fierce. If the magic weapon is broken, won't the practitioner lose his combat power? After a war, the ground will be covered with broken swords and swords. You can't use magic weapons alone."

Zhang Hao suddenly realized.

"If you don't use magic weapons, you can only choose magic weapons, top magic weapons.

Moreover, magic weapons are simple to make, and can exert the power of spiritual materials to the extreme; there is no need to use precious star essence gold. Therefore, compared with magic weapons, the power is increased and the cost is lower. This can be used on a large scale.

Also, it is normal for a master to lose three or five swords after a battle. The swords on the male commander are generally no less than ten."

"Also, you have also seen great battles between cultivators. Most of the battles between masters happen at close range, which is the so-called hand-to-hand combat.

During melee battles, the speed of drawing the sword is far longer than the time when the magic weapon is sacrificed. If two people take action at the same time, they are afraid that the ones who use the magic weapon have just been sacrificed will be beheaded."

At this moment, what Zhang Hao thought of was the battle between Princess Liu Xinyu and He Dong-yi:

He Dongzhi's flying sword was constantly being flung by Liu Xinyu, and then He Dongzhi could only fight with empty hands awkwardly. As a result, He Dongzhi, who was in the late stage of the Nascent Soul, was chased and beaten by Liu Xinyu in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

At this moment, Zhang Hao's understanding of this world became even deeper. After hearing Cheng Tao's words, Zhang Hao nodded suddenly: "Thank you Master Cheng for solving the doubts. It turns out that the right one is the best."

Cheng Tao looked at Zhang Hao in surprise and nodded: "Yes, the right one is the best. Just like your steel, if it is purely the spiritual material itself, it is indeed the best spiritual material I have ever seen. However, it is also the most useless spiritual material I have seen!

But I think your spiritual material can be used as shields, armor and other defenses, and will have unexpected effects."

Zhang Hao shook his head: "The Zhang family has worked so hard and was extremely lucky to invent steel. I am unwilling to do just defense! Master, defense... cannot save the country!

The best defense is attack.

If you keep it for a long time, you will lose it!"

Cheng Tao suddenly fell silent. After a while, he sighed slowly: "You are right, you will lose if you keep it for a long time!"

"So, please be sure to find a solution to the steel seal carving formation."

"I'll do my best!" Cheng Tao said the three words "She" very heavy.

Zhang Hao smiled faintly and pointed to the distance: "I'm going to the Zhang family soon..."

"My little brother!" A loud shout came, and Zhang Han rushed over, "My little brother, I found a dragon bloodstone mine vein in 'Da Gu Town'. Dad asked me to come to you."
