The orcs surrendered, and the front door of the Southern Chamber of Commerce was lost.

More skeletons poured into the yard, and the area originally used to temporarily store goods was filled with lord troops armed with weapons.

If you observe carefully, you will find that these terrifying-looking undead creatures are not actually elite.

Many skeletons did not have decent weapons, but were advancing with sharpened wooden spears or thick wooden maces.

If the skeleton troops that had just attacked were equipped with armor and more metal weapons, Sadaka's blocking would not have been so smooth.

Even so, in order to give the troops more weapons, Vincent not only distributed all the weapons in the castle warehouse to his subordinates, but also put many decorative armor weapons into combat.

In addition to searching his own property, Schnee Kuster's Boulder Chamber of Commerce also provided some weapons.

Unfortunately, although the barbarians are proficient in combat, as merchants, they cannot prepare many weapons, and they are not suitable for skeletons.

The main business of the Jushi Chamber of Commerce is in the management of wood and paper, and there are only two blacksmith workshops.

Finally, Vincent secretly persuaded the garrison captain Essen to obtain a batch of weapons from the garrison guarding the city wall.

Since the mercenaries of the garrison decided to remain neutral in the conflict, it was best to show a harmless attitude.

But in the final analysis, although the number of the lord's troops is not worrying, the quantity and quality of weapons and equipment cannot satisfy him.

It's not like Vincent has never thought about rubbing weapons with his hands, but when he practiced it, he discovered unexpected difficulties.

Making simple cold weapons is not more difficult than making toys in terms of technology and craftsmanship?

Vincent also obtained a batch of the required metal materials and other materials through friendly businessmen.

Everything was ready. Even before Ninnia started her infiltration plan, Vincent gritted his teeth and used 2,000 points of protection to unlock the "Iron Crafts Processing Skill" and spent nearly 2,000 points to upgrade it to level 3.

Now that you have the skills to make weapons and armor, you can transform into a humanoid processing center to create a batch of ordnance for your skeleton army.

Skeletons are not afraid of pain, don't care about comfort, and don't need ergonomic equipment at all.

As long as the weapons are durable enough and the armor is strong enough, their combat effectiveness will be greatly enhanced.

These days, soldiers who can wear armor can be regarded as elite troops. Even many of His Majesty the Demon King's legions do not have a 100% armor-wearing rate.

Full of expectations, Vincent referred to the mainstream armor styles of this era, chose a simple and durable saber, and decided to use this as a model for production.

[Protection value: 9300/9300]

[Recovery time: 0.6 days]

[Next level: 10000]

[Next level upgrade reward: reduce protection value consumption speed by 10%]

Since Vincent did not actively promote small toys after the competition and only relied on some sales, the increase in protection value was limited, resulting in the value still not exceeding the 10,000 point mark.

"System, how much protection does this armor need?"

A pair of armor includes an iron helmet, an entire breastplate, and does not include the back - anyway, the skeleton will only move forward.

This level of equipment can be mass-produced by a small factory with stamping equipment.

"500 points."

"Oh, 500 points...wait a minute!" Vincent didn't take it seriously at first, but he immediately felt something was wrong. "Is this helmet made of gold, or is the breastplate made of gold?"

"Look, is there anyone in this city willing to give you armor? This is specially approved by the god. If you don't think it's too much, I think it's too much."

"Let me rub one."

"Okay. Are you sure you want to choose this style?"

"Do you guarantee this armor?"

"Do you want it..."

Of course... I don't want it!

A set of armor has 500 points of protection. Even if Vincent's protection value is full, he can wear at most a dozen sets a day.

Even if it takes a few days to prepare, you may only be able to produce dozens of sets of armor, and that is if there is no shortage of materials.

It’s not like I had thirteen pieces of armor before I dared to launch a group to slay Ming Dynasty’s wild boar skins. This amount of armament was not even enough to suppress bandits.

"How much protection does this knife cost?"

Vincent picked up a clumsy broad-bladed sword and asked, already a little suspicious in his heart.

"400 points of protection."

"Are you deliberately looking for trouble?" Vincent yelled at the system, "I picked up this broken knife in the cellar. It costs 400 points to rub it?"

"The God doesn't like war. War will only make people suffer and will not increase faith." The system was honest and told Vincent directly, "All war-related artifacts are under the hostility of the God.

"

"But weapons are also representatives of advanced technology," Vincent argued. "Weapons can protect peace, promote development, and make more people happy."

"As a warlike demon, are you qualified to say such beautiful words?" the system asked contemptuously, "The people you kill will only hate all the weapons you use."

"The Craftsman God didn't ban the making of weapons, right?" Vincent remembered something, "The 'Louis XVI Happy Table' I made didn't consume much blessing!"

"That's just a model, it's not really capable of killing people." The system replied calmly, "How about you try it for real now and see what happens?"

"In other words, if I rub the weapon with my hands, it will consume several times the protection of items with similar technical level to it, right?" Vincent thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "This does not mean it is forbidden."

"You are right. But I must remind you that if you make more than a certain amount, the consumption of protection will be greatly increased, or the skills will be directly locked, leaving you with surprises one after another."

The threat to the system made Vincent feel extremely passive.

These words were probably told directly to him by the God of Craftsman through the mouth of the system.

After all, the Craftsman God has higher authority in the system. He relies on his personal principles, likes and dislikes to set up obstacles for Vincent's army expansion plan.

He is armed with a sharp weapon and has a murderous intention.

In fact, Vincent doesn't believe that weapons can bring happiness, but if he wants to survive now, he needs weapons.

Unfortunately, even if your protection value increases, it will be difficult to break through the range limit of the God of Craftsman.

What's more, his protection value is so precious. Rather than making some instruments that do not require divine power, what he wants to do more is to unlock as many skills as possible in the early stage to enrich the categories of production.

It is extremely difficult to convince the gods. Even a down-and-out god like the Craftsman is not a being with Vincent's level who can talk to him on an equal footing.

Without finding a solution, Vincent could only give up the idea of ​​rubbing his weapons for the time being.

To deal with the merchants' armed forces, we may not need so many well-equipped troops, but if Vincent wants to counter the rebellion or deal with future threats, it will definitely be difficult to support him without powerful enough equipment.

Who knows on which day Herod's army will invade their own territory in a large scale under the pretext of recovering lost territory...

The blessing of the Craftsman God is not omnipotent. If you want to live a comfortable life of playing with things and losing your mind, it will not be smooth sailing.

If you can't make a weapon, then confiscating the merchant's workshop and raw materials to become self-reliant is the only option.

If the weapons are not produced by oneself, the god should have no control over them... right?

In order to successfully suppress the rebellion and stabilize the territory in the future, Luke must become his stepping stone.

"Follow the orcs and rush in! Anyone who doesn't put down their weapons and raise their hands to surrender, anyone who dares to resist, and anyone who runs around will be killed without mercy!"

Eager to ransack the house, Vincent commanded his troops to go on a rampage, turning the entire chamber of commerce upside down.

With harpies in the sky, devil dogs in the ground, and wraiths everywhere, Luke's mercenaries can't escape or hide.

In less than a moment, the group suffered heavy casualties, and the rest lay on the ground and surrendered.

However, there were a lot of mercenaries and gangs, and they also brought a lot of unsold weapons, so it still delayed some time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luke took his cronies and family members and fled backwards for his life.

The area outside the Chamber of Commerce has been surrounded for a long time. Vincent's territory is in the sky and on the ground. In the end, he has no way out.
