Swamp Lord with an Intelligence System

“The blacksmith shop will become the most important department in Weilu City for the foreseeable future, without any doubt.”

“I will provide you with the best resources, so you must produce results that satisfy me.”

Lear looked at the excited leader of the Fray people and threw a dampener on the enthusiasm.

“If the final results disappoint me, then the blacksmith shop may not enjoy its current treatment for long!”

Bulin, covered in black stains and looking filthy, lifted his head with confidence and determination in his eyes.

“Your Majesty, if the blacksmith shop fails to produce results even with this support, I would have no face to see you!”

“The Fray people will definitely make you satisfied!”

Lear nodded.

“That’s the best… How is the research on the modular armor design I mentioned to you last time?”

“Your Majesty, it’s taking shape, and the initial armor can be produced early next month, though it may take some time to perfect it afterwards…”

While modularization seems simple, considering the multitude of races on the Main Plane involves a lot of details. Luckily, the Fray people have enough knowledge reserves to proceed swiftly.

“Good, this aspect cannot be relaxed. Our army will continue to expand, and the races will not be limited to what we have now; re-developing for each new race is too inefficient. Once the modular armor is developed, we can immediately start production as we expand the new army!”

In this regard, the Alchemy-Activated Armor does best, adapting perfectly to the user’s physique.

However, the Alchemy-Activated Armor has a drawback—it doesn’t compare to normal heavy armor in terms of defense.

The various traits of Rock Heavy Armor can surpass Alchemy-Activated Armor by a large margin.

A large part of its attributes are placed on adaptability, leading to deficiencies in other areas, even if it can enhance defense by absorbing blood.

For ranged units, the demand for armor isn’t that high, and the Alchemy-Activated Armor suffices.

But for units like the Cold-blooded Cavalry, which engage head-on, it’s far from enough.

So Lear thought about making Rock Heavy Armor into a state similar to the Alchemy-Activated Armor, killing two birds with one stone.

“Yes!”

Bulin, full of confidence, could easily obtain anything he needed with the entire territory’s support, advancing research at a rapid pace.

There’s no way to fall behind!

“Additionally, research on obsidian must be accelerated, to be applied to armor as soon as possible.”

“In up to three days, the research on obsidian will be complete, and by then, we’ll be able to immediately conduct a secondary enchantment on all Rock Heavy Armor, giving it extremely high magic resistance!”

Previously, by using Magic Mercury for enchantment, the Rock Heavy Armor was upgraded from 3 Stars to 4 Stars, with a significant increase in overall attributes.

If it also has strong magic resistance, this set of armor can truly be called perfect.

The strongest support for the Cold-blooded Cavalry during the Tyrant Monarch’s previous attack on Katana was this powerful armor.

“Very good… How is the production of the Meteor Bow going?”

“Your Majesty, the Meteor Bow’s level is as high as 5 Stars, making it extremely difficult to handle. Just the first step of soaking the raw materials takes 7 days, and production is expected at the end of the month.”

“However, we have already begun mass processing of raw materials, with the first batch expected to produce five thousand bows!”

Using Spiritual Trees as raw materials, combined with the Elves’ unique inscriptions, is the only way to produce these 5-star longbows.

Producing such a high yield at once is no simple feat.

If not for acquiring a large number of Ancient Trees from that nascent plane, we would still be producing only three to five trickle pieces.

It’s not easy to obtain Spiritual Trees, which must be at least millennial Ancient Trees with both age and spirituality… If not for the Spiritual Pointing from Grandma Green Grass, it would truly be difficult.

After conversing with Bulin for a few moments, Lear left the blacksmith shop in high spirits.

Currently, the blacksmith shop in Weilu City alone employs over ten thousand people, with a daily output of five hundred sets of Rock Heavy Armor.

Additionally, it produces five hundred matching 4-star weapons—the Shattered Steel Blade.

Even with this, there is still some capacity left for the production of other equipment.

In the past few days, the blacksmith shop has been working around the clock, stockpiling up to twenty thousand sets of Rock Heavy Armor and Shattered Steel Blades.

Once the last batch of Wetland Lizard-men is fully transformed into Cold-blooded Cavalry, this batch of weapons can instantly arm them.

In the future, raising new Cold-blooded Cavalry won’t require waiting for equipment. Once promoted, they can be fully equipped immediately.

This is what’s called having a foundation, the foundation accumulated through hard work during this period!

Moreover, the Alchemy Workshop is also crazily producing Alchemy-Activated Armor.

Under the guidance of the Ancient Goblin God, thousands of Goblins created a semi-automatic production line, greatly boosting production efficiency.

Allowing the production of Alchemy-Activated Armor to explode to thousands per day.

However, those produced are all at the 3-star level, requiring the blacksmith shop’s enchantment to be upgraded to 4 stars.

The Half-Elf Crowned Eagle-horned Beast Knights who were just promoted all received 4-star Alchemy-Activated Armor.

Some of the 3-star Alchemy-Activated Armor is temporarily stored, while some are used in exchange with the Holy Song Clan’s Dark Night Elves for precious mineral resources.

The two major weapon factories—the blacksmith shop, and the Alchemy Workshop, are both thriving, to Lear’s delight.

However, relying on just this, facing the upcoming cataclysm is not enough, far from enough!

We can still speed up…

Store more weapons and equipment before the great upheaval on the Main Plane arrives!
