Chapter 219: Chapter 146: The 100-Man Knight Order, Discovery of a Wandering Merchant Team

"I understand. You’re dismissed."

"Yes!"

The Bald Beastman nodded gravely.

After Hellish Roar left, Shen Xing immediately activated [Global Perspective].

HUMMM...

His vision soared like a kite, climbing hundreds of meters into the sky. From this vantage point, he could see the entire territory.

Upgraded to Level 3, the Large Campfire burned even brighter, its light illuminating a 700-meter radius as if it were broad daylight.

Surrounding the territory was a towering, grayish-white wall that reached a height of six meters.

The wall’s surface was dotted with protruding spiked nodes, hiding triggered mechanisms that dealt retaliatory damage.

If any enemy tried to climb or ram the wall, the spikes would instantly shoot out and deliver a vicious strike.

Dozens of white light towers were spaced evenly along the wall. Their blazing white beams pierced the Fog, slowly rotating to provide excellent visibility for the patrolling guards.

At the territory’s current size, they no longer needed to guard day and night against surprise attacks from the monsters in the Fog.

If any wandering monsters dared to approach, the Arrow Towers alone could pick them off long before they reached the light of the fire.

’However... I’ve heard that monster hordes appear in the Land of Mist from time to time.’

’Unlike this Rain God update, where the heavy rain just made the monsters more ferocious without changing their numbers.’

’The so-called monster hordes, on the other hand, supposedly start in the tens of thousands and are incredibly vicious.’

’So I can’t let my guard down. I have to keep developing the territory, upgrade more Arrow Towers and walls, and build more cannon platforms.’

Grand Lord Shen thought to himself.

Then he opened his inventory and took out the black metal sphere.

The sphere trembled in mid-air, then exploded with a BANG.

In an instant, a large pile of pitch-black Scrolls, Hellfire Seeds, stones, and other materials scattered across the ground.

With a wave of his hand, Shen Xing collected everything back into his inventory.

[Acquired: Black Moon Knight Recruitment Scroll x100]

[Acquired: High Level Blacksmith’s Handbook (Gold) x1]

[Acquired: Dark Steel x500]

[Acquired: Evil Energy Stone x500]

[Acquired: Hellfire Seed x500]

...

’Not bad. All 500 sets of materials and the other resources have arrived.’

’Logan is already a High Level Blacksmith, and I have all the materials. We can start mass-producing [Hell War Chariots].’

Shen Xing was very satisfied with the Anomaly Handling Bureau’s efficiency.

In just two days, they had gathered everything for him.

However... there was still one problem.

Logan had already reached High Level, so would this Blacksmith handbook still be useful to him?

Shen Xing pondered for a moment and decided to go ask him directly.

’If it’s no use to him, I’ll just sell it on... wait, no, I’ll put it on the trading platform to offload it.’

He leisurely wheeled himself toward the Blacksmith Shop.

After arriving at the entrance, he shouted inside, "Logan! Logan, come on out!"

The sound of hammering stopped abruptly. The Blacksmith Shop shook, and a huge head poked out of the main entrance.

"Oh! It’s the Lord!" Logan said, greeting him as he squeezed his body out. "Today, you..."

"Alright, shut up." Shen Xing cut him off bluntly. "How many of our Demon Cannon Platforms and practice cannonballs do we have left?"

He had given one to Xu Jiayi and one to Qin Lang yesterday, so he didn’t know how many the territory had left.

Logan replied, "We still have five Demon Cannon Platforms, and over two hundred practice cannonballs. Our reserves are quite sufficient."

"That many?" Shen Xing was a little surprised.

"Haha, of course!" Logan slapped his chest confidently. "The Lord raised my Forging Skill to High Level, so my efficiency has increased dramatically."

"Now I can forge two or three Demon Cannon Platforms a day."

Shen Xing nodded with satisfaction and continued giving orders, "Good. For now, pause production of Demon Cannon Platforms and focus all your efforts on forging a few Hell War Chariots. The materials are ready."

"No problem!" Logan agreed readily. "Forging this kind of high-level war machine will also increase my proficiency."

"But the forging speed won’t be as fast. It’ll take two days to make one."

One Hell War Chariot every two days sounded a bit slow, but it was still within an acceptable range.

After all, this was a Gold-level Transport Vehicle.

Shen Xing took out the ancient-looking red handbook and asked, "Is this still useful to you?"

"Is this... the lifetime’s worth of insights from a High Level Blacksmith?"

Logan’s single eye shifted, fixing on the handbook in Shen Xing’s hand. He said excitedly, "Useful? Of course it’s useful!"

"Even though I’m already a High Level Blacksmith, this handbook contains the unique insights of another blacksmith. It’s an invaluable reference for me."

"If I can absorb this experience, maybe one day I can break through my bottleneck and become a true High Level Blacksmith."

"Combined with our territory’s magical abilities, I might even be able to become a Master Level Blacksmith directly."

"Since it’s useful, you can keep it." Shen Xing handed over the handbook and all the materials for the Hell War Chariots.

"Thank you so much." Logan took them with both hands, his single eye filled with gratitude. "I swear, I will forge even more and stronger equipment for you in the future."

"By the way, Lord, would you like to hear my..."

"Nope, not listening."

Shen Xing couldn’t be bothered with him and wheeled himself away.

Next, as usual, he collected the water produced by the Moon Well.

Then he glanced at the Golden Ancient Tree growing quietly in the empty lot nearby.

Its forty-meter-tall trunk had already become the tallest structure in the entire territory. In the light of the Campfire, its lush branches cast deep shadows, and the tips of its leaves shimmered with a dark gold luster.
