From a small soldier in the frontier army, an immortal god of war was born

Chapter 12: New weapons; bandits causing trouble
As the snow fell, another three days passed.

Wu Fengdeng completely digested the effects of Zhu Yan's blood within these three days. He suddenly felt that the Qi and blood in his body had made great progress. He felt as light as a swallow and as strong as an ox.

As a result, the original spear became a little light.

A standard spear like this one, with a pointed tip and made of tough ox-tendon wood, weighs no more than thirty or forty kilograms.

In the past, he found it a bit light and airy to use, and the feel was not good. Now that his energy and blood have improved and his strength has increased, it has become even more difficult to use.

"It would be nice if it could be a little heavier."

"But with current technology, it would be very troublesome to modify it. It would be better to build a new spear."

"The gun head is made of pure steel and then enlarged. The gun barrel is still made of ox-tendon wood. A few steel rings can be put on it. While adding weight, it can also increase the hardness of the gun barrel without affecting its toughness."

Wu Fengdeng had a preliminary renovation plan in mind, and he took advantage of the day's rest to return to the blacksmith shop with his gun.

He personally carried the hammer and forged it, using three times the amount of steel as an ordinary gun head. He used all his energy and blood to forge a huge gun head, which weighed at least fifty or sixty kilograms when weighed in his hand.

This is not a simple addition. Wu Fengdeng used the Qi and blood cultivation of the early stage of the Leather Refining Realm, as well as the [Transportation] skill, to barely succeed in forging it.

If this were to be done on Blue Star, a hydraulic press would have to be used.

It was not until it was completely dark that he finally forged a brand new spear, which was longer and heavier than the previous one, especially the huge and sharp spear head, which made people shudder at the sight of it.

"Try it!"

Even though Wu Fengdeng hadn't eaten or drunk anything for a day and was already starving, he couldn't help but want to try out the new weapon.

Whoohoo!
The new gun wielded with great force in the night, flashing a cold light. The heavy feel of the gun perfectly matched his strength and felt excellent.

"Huh~Finally I have a weapon that works for me."

Wu Fengdeng looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction. He had poured his heart and soul into every detail of it. This was the weapon that suited him best!
Then he bought a few large pancakes from the mess hall and ate them while walking back to the barracks.

Suddenly, there was a burst of hurried horse hoofbeats.

Wu Fengdeng turned around subconsciously, only to see the gate of the barracks open. A messenger holding a torch rushed in hurriedly, his face covered in black dust, looking extremely embarrassed.

"Report!"

"Bandits are attacking, and the granary in the east of the city is on fire!"

"Bandits are attacking, and the granary in the east of the city is on fire!"

He rode his horse straight into the tent of the military camp, and his hysterical shouts woke up everyone around him.

Wu Fengdeng paused for a moment and subconsciously looked towards the east.

With the help of the [Visit] skill, I saw a cluster of fire at the end of my field of vision, dimly illuminated under the night sky.

Soon, a team of elite cavalry galloped out, about a hundred people, and the clanging sound of their iron horses was like thunder.

Wu Fengdeng swallowed the pancake in his mouth and frowned.

Tonight is destined to be restless.

The next morning, he learned from the coach what had happened the night before.

There are many mountains around Guyang County, and there are more than ten large and small bandits. Robbery and robbery happen frequently, and they have never been completely wiped out.

One hundred miles east of the city, there is a mountain called "Black Wind Mountain".

There was a severe famine this year and food was in short supply. All the surrounding villages had been looted, so last night they wanted to steal military rations from the granary, but were discovered by the garrison.

After a fierce fight, the fire spread and the granary fire got out of control and was not extinguished until dawn.

All the military rations have been burned.

The commander of the camp was furious and immediately ordered the recruitment of soldiers to suppress the bandits.

"This time we are recruiting 400 soldiers, 100 cavalry and 300 infantry, limited to warriors."

"Going on an expedition to suppress bandits will be rewarded with 100 coins, a piece of red blood, and there will be another reward for meritorious service. Wow, the rewards are very generous!"

"It's tempting, but that's the Black Wind Village. Rumor has it that the 200 bandits there are all warriors, and the village chief is at the Strong Bone Realm, which is equivalent to our centurion!"

"I've been to Black Wind Mountain. The terrain is complex, steep and dangerous. It's easy to defend but difficult to attack. If you want to attack it by force, you will definitely suffer heavy losses."

……

In front of the notice, many soldiers watching looked at each other, some were in deep thought, some were frowning and sighing, with different expressions.

When you join the army, military orders are as heavy as a mountain, and there is nothing wrong with that.

However, bandits were different from external enemies. They were an internal trouble of the Wei country and were not counted as military merits. The so-called reward was just money paid by the Guyang County Government.

In addition, Black Wind Village has always been strong, and most people are unwilling to take such a big risk for such a small amount of money. If conscription is forced, those who are not in high spirits may become lazy, and the bandits will not be completely eliminated. This was the case in the past few years.

Therefore, this time the commander simply recruited soldiers and asked them to join voluntarily. Those who volunteered to fight must have the ambition to suppress the bandits, and only then could the root of the evil in Black Wind Village be eradicated.

Wu Fengdeng stood not far away and watched, his eyes gradually becoming firm.

"Copper coins are secondary. The key is Zhu Yan's blood. I don't want to wait until the end of the month to get it."

"Besides, it's time to verify my current strength."

Without thinking much, he went to the recruitment office.

It was a tent located in the center of the military camp, in the drill ground. An old soldier with a gray beard was sitting at a desk, writing down the names of the soldiers who had been called up before him.

There are two accountants nearby who are in charge of copper coins and red blood. Soldiers can receive rewards after registering without any delay. This shows the commander's determination to suppress the bandits in the county government this time.

"New recruit of the Vanguard Battalion, Wu Fengdeng."

An extremely unfamiliar word made the old man pause, and then he raised his slightly cloudy eyeballs.

The young man in front of him had a childish face, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and was very out of place with the rough and weathered men around him.

The old man paused, then frowned and said, "Nonsense! New recruits should just go to training honestly, why are you running here to join in the fun!"

"Only warriors are recruited this time. With your thin arms and legs, you are not strong enough to be chopped by the bandits. Get out of here!"

Wu Fengdeng let out a light breath, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

Lift your foot and stomp on the ground!

Boom~
The air flow visible to the naked eye spread out instantly, and the snow within five meters around was swept out with a huge sound.

Even the thick roster on the old man's desk was nearly blown over, and the strong wind made him squint his eyes.

When the strong wind stopped, the faint red airflow on Wu Fengdeng's body finally converged into his body.

The old man looked horrified, and his hands hanging in the air were shaking slightly.

"Are you already a warrior?"

Wu Fengdeng nodded, which completely stirred up a storm in the old man's heart, and also caused a stir among the old soldiers around him.

A new warrior?!

Although there is no threshold for practicing Bingfa Jue, if an ordinary person wants to get started, it will take three to four months of diligent practice, which is also the result of most soldiers.

It’s been just over two months since the last recruits enlisted, and already a warrior has been born!

If he had not practiced before joining the army, he must have been a rare cultivation genius!

At this moment, a burly figure walked slowly towards them.

Wu Fengdeng took a quick look and immediately stood at attention.

"Lord Wang!"

But it was Wang Hu.

He glanced at Wu Fengdeng coldly, his expression solemn and serious.

"Xiao Wu, do you want to go and fight the bandits?"

Seeing Wang Hu who seemed a little unhappy, Wu Fengdeng was a little confused, but he still nodded and said, "My Lord, the bandits are rampant and harming the people in the village. I don't want to sit idly by and watch."

"Do you know how powerful and cruel the Black Wind Village is? Why are you, a new soldier, joining in the fun?"

Wang Hu loves talents and had a good impression of me before. After entering the vanguard camp for training, my outstanding performance made him admire me even more.

In this case, he is probably worried that something might happen to him.

Wu Fengdeng thought so in his heart, but he didn't want to lose this training opportunity.

"Sir, only real combat can hone one's abilities. I am willing to do this, and I hope you will help me."

Wang Hu's expression became even more gloomy, and his hand on the hilt of the knife clenched slightly.

After gritting his teeth for a moment, he finally left angrily with a cold look in his eyes.

"what ever!"

Wu Fengdeng bowed and looked at his back as he left angrily, feeling a strange feeling in his heart.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.
