Chapter 925 - Hellfire (1/2)
Han Yuan held the blade and said, ”Sir, is this considered the privately-expanding the army? Les, Long Zhong, Qin Ye, and Xiahou Ren will badmouth you to His Majesty. They are people who support the South Protecting King — although he is at Waterfront City, he has eyes and ears all over from Tian Ling City. They have wanted to remove the Royal Army from the empire for a long time.”
I thought about it and nodded my head, ”Okay, take my token and head to the Imperial Capital to request His Majesty to expand the upper limit of the Royal Army to 200 thousand in case those old people badmouth me.”
”Yes, General is wise!”
Han Yuan led hundreds of cavalry out. Xiao Lie smiled, ”Sir, Fan Shu City is really prosperous and many commoners have moved into Fan Shu City. They probably came for the kindness and fame of the Suiding Duke.”
I turned around and looked toward him and said, ”If you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush.”
Xiao Lie laughed out loud, ”Sir, Fan Shu City being prosperous is a good thing, what I am worried about is that Sir's merits would cover that of the Emperors. If Lochlan blames you, then he probably won't fully trust Master Li, right?”
I frowned and said, ”Don't worry about that. Lochlan is a really pure person. He is originally a valiant warrior and isn't too shrewd. Even if he suspects me, it would be because of Long Zhong, Qin Ye, and the others. When that time occurs, I wouldn't hesitate to wipe them all out.”
”Sir is wise!” The respect in Xiao Lie's eyes grew by a little.
……
At this point, Li Mu was leading a bunch of [Zhan Long] Fire Dragon Cavalry to repair weapons. Seeing me head over, he said, ”You saw that kid, Wang Ze Cheng, rebuild [Rising Sun Like Blood] right?”
”Yeah, I saw it.”
”I heard that he is discussing with Free Time and Call Me Master about taking in [Thousand Burial].” Li Mu's brow furrowed as he said worryingly, ”Once [Thousand Burial] joins [Rising Sun Like Blood], Wang Ze Cheng would be in charge of 100 thousand people, even more than [Hero’s Mound] and [Legend]...”
Wang Jian laughed confidently, ”They aren't a problem!”
I agreed, ”They truly are a problem, but there's nothing to worry about.”
In truth, since Destiny began, more and more players surged in. The number of registered players in China reached close to one hundred million. There would regularly be at least 50 million online. Guilds like [Prague], [Hero’s Mound] and [Legend] didn't break 100 thousand, but if they were willing, they definitely could recruit a million. However, too many people might not be a good thing. This was the reason why Fang Ge Que, Q-Sword, and Yan Zhao Warrior didn't expand. Thinking about it, once the level 6 guilds appeared, those guilds would start to expand.
At this time, Palace Spirit was smacking a piece of iron with her hammer. She added in various gems and moments later there was a ”ding” sound. A flame-wrapped sword appeared in her hand. The crafting was a success. She looked at the stats of the sword and exclaimed, ”Brother, take a look! Such a good sword appeared...”
I excitedly walked up, smiling as I asked, ”Ling'er, what weapon did you craft?”
”Brother Guild Leader, take a look at it for yourself!”
She handed the sword over to me. I was shocked when I saw it. Tsk tsk, player-crafted weapons actually reached such a strong level; it really wasn't simple...

……
Holding onto Hellfire, I smiled and asked Li Mu, ”The attack of this Hellfire isn't much lower than Neptune’s Blade, right?”
Li Mu nodded, ”Yes, with the stack damage, it is stronger than Neptune’s Blade. But the special effect is a little weaker.”
I laughed, ”This is enough. Ling'er, can you mass produce this?”
Palace Spirit nodded her head, ”Yes, but Guild Leader, this Hellfire's stats are out of the ordinary...”
”How so?”
She pursed her lips and smiled, ”Player-crafted Hellfire attack is around 4,500-5,300. The added attack fluctuates between 40-75%. Therefore, the 5,250 and 72% of this Hellfire is the strongest out of the 100 that I crafted.”
”You have already crafted 100?” I was delighted, ”The materials needed are rare, aren’t they?”
Palace Decree said, ”Rank 14 Glare Metal, there is a large amount in Flaming God Mountain. That mine has been guarded by [Zhan Long], so no other guild members have noticed it. The other support stones are bought from the market. More importantly, only Ling'er has learnt the Hellfire blueprints. It came from a [Demon Harvest Tier] BOSS that Old K and Wolf Totem killed in the mountains. So, it is temporarily unique.”
