Chapter 105 Taking Over the Four Towns and Nurturing the Great Sun Brahma

Five days have passed since I had tea with Pania, and a lot has happened in those five days.

First, on the day she finished drinking tea, Panya got up early and wrote to her brother, requesting to borrow a few Brahma warriors and Brahma tea masters.

After drinking the tea, she had become more accustomed to being Li Wei's wife, both mentally and physically, and naturally wanted to help Li Wei wholeheartedly.

The Hammanto family also had no objection. With Levi becoming the lord of the three towns, they naturally wanted to win him over. In fact, Atamo generously lent Levi even more craftsmen.

That afternoon, the Brahma warrior and the Brahma healer of the Hamantuo tribe arrived at Muwei City on their Brahma horses.

Li Wei was overjoyed. He first signed a soul contract with them, and then ordered them to split up. The Brahma Pharmacist refined the Yama Pill, and the Brahma Soldier crafted the basic Brahma Armor.

On the fourth day, the Brahma Medicine Master crafted the first batch of Yama Pills, a total of three.

The medicinal materials used to make the pills alone were worth three to four hundred thousand pagos, but Li Wei thought it was worth it.

After all, one Yama Pill could create a Vanpi subordinate for him.

On the battlefield, the value of a single Vanpi general charging into battle far exceeds that of 100,000 pagodas.

Once he defeats Amir and takes over all nine towns, Pargo will have as many as he wants, won't he?

After successfully refining the three Yama Pills, Li Wei immediately summoned Tiebaha, Motuli, and one of the generals he had been observing under Andali in the past few days.

Li Wei handed them three Yama Pills, which were black pills with a pleasant fragrance.

At first, the three of them did not know what the elixir was; they only heard Li Wei tell them that it would be beneficial.

Moturi hesitated for a moment before swallowing, while Tiebaha didn't hesitate at all and swallowed it in one gulp.

After swallowing it, the three of them looked at Li Wei with disbelief, excitement, shock, and gratitude upon discovering that they had broken through the barrier of the Brahma.

Even Tebaha, who was usually silent and never uttered a word, was so excited when he discovered that he had broken through to the Vajra level that his face turned red. He even knelt down and kowtowed to Liwei several times. For someone of his low caste, the Vaishya, he had never imagined that he would one day be able to break through to the Vajra level.

Tiebaha thought this was a gift from the gods.

Moturi is in a better situation than Tebaha. He is considered a declining Kshatriya, but given his circumstances, he will likely never break through the Vatican in his lifetime. He is already forty years old.

But when he saw his qi and blood, which had been blocked for many years, suddenly reach the power of an elephant, and when he saw that he had broken through to the level of Vanpi, he bowed deeply to Li Wei.

Say no more, from now on, Moturi's life belongs to Li Weisalma.

The last of Andali's generals, named Tohu, was extremely grateful. He was originally not valued among Andali's generals and was on the margins. He never expected to be chosen by Livsarma and given such a precious elixir to become a Vajra. Tohu knelt down and shouted, "Livsarma, I will be loyal to you forever!" Livsarma nodded slightly. This was also the reason why he chose Tohu from Andali's generals.

He certainly wouldn't choose anyone from Dali's trusted confidants; he would naturally choose those who were marginalized and suppressed.

Although Dali surrendered, he still had to take the factional issue seriously.

Li Wei spoke with the three men for a while longer, then dismissed them.

These three should be considered his first batch of core subordinate generals, and they should be willing to risk their lives for him.

In five more days, I can refine another batch of Yama Pills, and then I can make three more Vanishing Skins. I'll have to carefully select the people for that.

This was the first thing that happened in the past five days: Li Wei used the Yama's Pill to create three Vanpi generals.

The second thing was the forging of the blank Brahma armor.

As mentioned earlier, Li Wei chose the white-grade Brahma Armor because of its low production cost and ease of forging.

In the past five days, with the full efforts of several Brahma warriors and hundreds of craftsmen, three hundred sets of plain Brahma armor were forged, which is quite fast.

A set of full plate armor from 15th-century Europe, produced by Italian armorers, shows that a single set of combat-ready full plate armor could be completed in just two to three days using an assembly line.

Chainmail from the Ming Dynasty, with thousands of iron rings interlocking, could be completed in a week by four people working together.

It's reasonable that Li Wei could forge three hundred sets of blank Buddhist armor in five days.

After all, there's also the speed bonus from the Brahma Soldier.

After it was completed, Li Wei immediately distributed it to the soldiers to test its power.

Experiments have shown that soldiers wearing plain armor have at least four to five times better battlefield survivability than before.

The leather armor that soldiers used to wear was like paper; it offered no protection whatsoever. Arrows could easily pierce through it, and it couldn't stop swords either.

However, this kind of white armor does have a protective function. It can block swords and arrows on the battlefield. Li Wei tested it and found that ordinary archers could not penetrate this white armor from a distance of 100 meters.

Li Wei roughly estimated that even if he recruited an ordinary, untrained farmer, dressed him in this set of plain armor, and put him in a fight against trained soldiers in leather armor, they could still go toe-to-toe.

In other words, as long as Li Wei creates a certain number of blank armor plates, he can immediately raise that many elite troops.

That's pretty terrifying.

He now commands a population of 150,000 across three towns, and maintains an army of about 2,000 soldiers, all of whom are elite troops who do not engage in production under normal circumstances.

If he had enough blank slates of armor, say, he could make 20,000 sets.

He mustered the will to conscript 150,000 men, and at least 20,000 of them would be able to form an army. They would all be dressed in plain armor, meaning that he could at most field an army equivalent to 20,000 elite soldiers.

No one had done this before because the farmers they brought out were no fighting force and would just be cannon fodder on the battlefield. But with the blank armor, it's different.

Li Wei felt that this was the terrifying aspect of a blank slate of Buddhist scriptures.

He only realized how outrageous this armor was after testing it; it truly lived up to its reputation as a panel reward, as there was no such thing as an easy one.

This is the second thing that happened in the past five days: three hundred sets of plain armor were made.

The third thing is to take over Vika and become the lord of the four towns.

In fact, it was only natural for Li Wei to take over Vika City after he conquered Mumeng City and became the lord of the three towns.

Vika City could never escape his grasp.

In fact, upon hearing that Li Wei possessed the terrifying weapon of the Black Stone Catapult and that the lord of Mumeng City had surrendered, the lord of Vika City was already considering surrendering.

However, before he could send out his surrender, Li Wei dispatched a large army to attack.

Three days after drinking tea, Li Wei ordered Andali and Pivi to lead the army with Black Stone catapults to attack Vika and take the city for him.

He felt that the greatest significance of this military expedition was to train troops and test Andali and Pivi. He did not go himself, but let the two of them lead the troops to fight.

These two men, worthy of being generals under Kaneruch in the past, knew that this was their first time leading troops under Livy, so they naturally fought with all their might.

The two veteran generals, both with gray hair, led their respective armies together and, without a word, arrived at Vika within a single day and began their siege.

Finally, Andali even climbed the city wall using a ladder to fight, which stunned Lord Vika. No, he was planning to surrender, but he hadn't written a letter yet.

How did they manage to attack?

This can only be blamed on his slow writing speed.

Finally, under the fierce attack of Black Stone's catapults and the two generals, Andali and Pivi, Vika fell.

The lord of Vika surrendered, and the city's seven hundred soldiers also surrendered.

By this time, Li Wei had nearly three thousand elite soldiers and ruled over a population of two hundred thousand.

On the third night, the Lord of Vika personally presented the Faith Stone, a symbol of Vika, to Li Wei. Li Wei used it that night, and his power increased very little, only by 0.6, from 8.3 to 8.9.

It can only be said that it becomes increasingly difficult to increase one's image power as one progresses.

Then came the last thing that happened in the past five days, which was this afternoon.

Shaha arrived at the city of Muvi with a caravan of thirty female horses.

Generally speaking, even with a horse like the Brahma that can travel a thousand miles a day, the round trip from Jiuzhen to Labdal would take ten days.

But before he left, Li Wei instructed Shahar to shorten his return journey as much as possible.

Therefore, on his return trip, Shaha rented a special transport vehicle for transporting sacred horses directly in Labdal, which made the journey quite fast.

But it's expensive, costing 150,000 pagos per session.

The price was a bit high, but the delivery was also quite fast.

Sure enough, on the afternoon of the fifth day, Shah arrived at the city of Muvi with thirty female horses.

Li Wei was delighted to hear this news, as it meant he could begin breeding the Great Sun Horse.
