Star Forge Titan

Attack the city of Shakara and drag that bloodless and tearless bastard, the Witch King Hopt, out to the sun and chop him into pieces!!!

Chapter 25: Iron Battle Suit

Although from a personal perspective, of course I hope to say some harsh words in the morning and chop the bastard who came to cause trouble during the day into minced meat before dinner.

But the reality is far from ideal. As the new leader of the Free Fists, although Brad is still heroic, he can no longer be as "willful" as he was in his heroic period.

While spiritual power can certainly change a person's appearance, fighters of the Fist of Freedom also need to rest and recuperate.

So before the war started, they needed to make a lot of preparations.

At the very least, the damaged walls of Nunris must be repaired first.

"Are you ready?" Alvin looked at Lucas next to him. This young man was responsible for helping him today.

"Well, I've asked other apprentices to guard the surrounding area to ensure that no unauthorized people break into the gap." Lucas nodded and said seriously:

"Relax, it's okay to treat this as an ordinary task." Alvin was not particularly used to this young man who did things in a very methodical way, but he didn't hate this style of doing things either.

After all, responsible people always make people feel good, especially when they form partners with each other.

"...Yes." Lucas nodded, his expression a little stiff.

Just kidding, this is an entire section of severely damaged city wall. It is said that the Witch King Seened's beast body crossed the wall from here and came out of the city.

Although the huge beast did not directly crash through the entire section of the city wall, when he jumped high, he only accidentally "lightly" brushed against it, leaving a huge gap in the wall with a maximum length of fifty meters.

In the opinion of Lucas, who was still an apprentice, if he wanted to completely repair such a large gap in a short period of time, the level of boxing required would have to be extremely high.

Then, Lucas and other apprentices who came to carry out the mission saw the realm reaching the sky - boxing?

The earth vein calling method is activated - activated.

Alvin took a deep breath, stood up straight, and folded his hands casually in front of his chest. The original magic power in his body began to vibrate rhythmically.

The airflow turned into an invisible wind that blew in all directions, and the fine sand, dust and gravel on the ground around the black-haired boy floated up a few centimeters.

[The leyline network is now connected. Welcome back, descendants of those who forged the stars.]

[Beginning to mobilize the earth's magical power, the connection is complete, and the magical power transmission is in progress.]

Sensing waves of pure, universal, standard magic emanating from underground, Ivan began to invoke his core talent, [Reshape the World]. He slowly opened his hands, and dark golden magic enveloped the black-haired boy like a transparent cloak of flame.

Then, this force was transmitted outward by the configuration controlled by the force string.

The ground began to tremble, the soil and rock rapidly rising and deforming as if being kneaded and shaped by a pair of invisible hands. First, the soil was shaped into a complete, high-density earthen wall, then the solid rock began to deform like the soil, until it became a huge, uniform rectangular stone brick, which overlapped one another to form the outer stone layer of the city wall.

Up to this point, it is still within the scope of understanding for ordinary people, but then the gaps between each brick begin to become undetectable until they are completely integrated.

Lucas and the other fist fighter apprentices were stunned. The defensive capability of such a one-piece wall was unimaginable. It was definitely several times stronger than the intact wall before the repair.

Moreover, although the whole process could not be completed in the blink of an eye, it always maintained a smooth speed. It took only about the time it took to eat a meal to completely repair the originally uneven damaged parts of the city wall.

Apart from some differences in color from the original wall, there is basically no obvious damage here, with the longest part exceeding 50 meters.

"Boxing, can boxing even do something like this?" Lucas couldn't help but mutter to himself:

“…” Alvin was stunned for a moment, then nodded awkwardly.

"Yes, as long as you practice the Flowing Stone Fist to a level that none of your predecessors, and even the original inventor, could have imagined, you will probably be able to do something similar."

This statement was not entirely a lie. If Lucas could truly push the Fist of Flowing Stone to an unprecedentedly high level, he could indeed achieve such near-magical results by invoking the power of elements. However, the effort required to accomplish such a thing would be so immense that it would be difficult for ordinary people to bear, and the talent requirements would also be extremely demanding.

Even if we really reach that level, the speed and efficiency of completion probably still cannot be compared with Alvin.

After all, the latter is roughly equivalent to half a GM who can operate a console. If this guy improves further, it wouldn't be surprising if he could be worth a whole one.

"Yes! I will definitely try my best! Master Elian!" Lucas stood up straight and shouted loudly with great energy.

"...I don't think I've even gotten the title of Master yet." Ivan waved his hands repeatedly in embarrassment, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

This young man is so simple and honest in some aspects that it's frustrating.

Having completed the task ahead of schedule, Alvin asked the apprentices to go back and practice. Since they didn't put in much effort today, they should of course put the remaining energy into training.

What? Why don't you let the young people have a good rest? You must be kidding. This is the Silent Desert. The next war could break out at any time. If you want to survive, sweat is a much cheaper price than blood.

In fact, even Alvin himself, after completing the work of repairing the city wall ahead of schedule, immediately went to find Brad.

On the one hand, he wanted to ask if there was anything else he could do. On the other hand, he had some ideas that needed to be discussed with his senior brother, the leader of the Freedom Fist.

As the highest official of the Fighter Council, Brad can now be called Speaker or President. If you use a more traditional and old-fashioned name, some people also call him the Fist Chief.

Of course, there are also some companions with rich past experiences who would directly call Brad "chief", "big boss" or "big brother leader" and other names full of rough and tumble flavor.

For a moment, Brad was very embarrassed.

Ivan walked into Brad's office, greeted him casually, and poured himself a glass of water in a familiar manner.

"Is the city wall repaired?" Brad asked from behind the mountain of documents without looking up.

"Ah, it's quite simple. A few apprentices also helped a lot. At least it prevented someone from being accidentally built into the wall or something." Ivan said seriously, which made Brad's forehead veins jump.

"I think it's better not to let that happen." Brad pinched his brows and sighed helplessly.

"Don't worry, at worst we can just dig it out, it'll be fine."

"By the way, last time I mentioned to you the idea of ​​using the fighting steel armor to improve boxing. How was the effect after trying it?" After making a joke, Alvin turned the topic back to business.

"Not ideal. There are so few martial artists who can understand the way you think. Those young people who have just started martial arts were considered quite capable, but after reading the new martial arts you compiled, they feel like they can't fight anymore!?!" Brad's eyes widened, and he looked very troubled.

"Several masters on the Council have expressed significant gains, with some even vaguely reaching the threshold of achieving the Steel Armor Void Form."

After saying this, Brad couldn't help but sigh. Junior Brother was good in every way, except that he always thought most people were like him.

Although those new boxing techniques help to understand the power of the fighting steel armor, they are extremely difficult to master.

"Is that so? It seems we have to try another way." Alvin looked thoughtful.

"Which way?" Brad gave him a puzzled look.

"Is it really that difficult? If this doesn't work, we can only rely on external things." Alvin sighed, and there was not much dissatisfaction in his tone, but instead revealed a bit of...confusion?

"But if that's the case, at least at the lower levels, we probably can't count on them to comprehend the power of the 'Fighting Qi Steel Armor' on their own."

"External objects, you mean..." Not paying attention to the speechless part in Ivan's words, Brad frowned and paid more attention to what his junior brother said next.

"Armor, equipment, a kind of protective gear that allows a fighter to exert the power of boxing beyond the limits of the human body without immediately damaging himself, or you can also call it-" Ivan paused.

"Douyi."

Chapter 26: Dou Yi Explodes

"A wearable device that can mimic the functions of a 'Fighting Steel Suit'."

Click!

Brad was stunned and subconsciously broke the feather pen in his hand. The splashing ink made him panic again.

Ivan rolled his eyes and was speechless about his senior brother's fussing, but what he didn't know was that Brad was also speechless and shocked about his junior brother's behavior of making big news at every turn.

It would have been fine if he had come up with a new style of boxing that no one could learn before, but it was at least a major advancement in boxing research. Although it was a pity that there was no immediate effect, it was enough to make everyone excited.

But just when everyone was feeling regretful, he said, since you can't learn the optimal solution, I have no choice but to let you use the second-best method to achieve the next level of strength.

As he said this, he was about to take out a 'new treasure' that would make people's eyes pop out.

"Tell me more about it." Brad asked anxiously without even bothering to wipe the table.

"To put it simply, it is to create armor that can allow boxers to withstand more configuration forces." Alvin nodded and began to roughly describe his point of view.

Through his previous personal experience with the closest successful version of the Dou Qi Steel Armor, he has already gained a full understanding of this skill, and has even gradually deduced a new extraordinary job introduction based on it.

Coupled with the successful trial run of the 'Shining Light Phase System' developed based on the elemental shell combat skills, which was used to instantly kill a unit of the Witch King's personal guards and one of its living incarnations, Alvin has basically finalized the initial design draft of the 'Fighting Coat'.

Oh, the Shining Light System refers to the pair of iron arms that are added with mithril, which will shine brightly and dazzle the eyes when in operation.

After a long and detailed thinking, which lasted less than five seconds, Alvin decided to name the pair of 'back-mounted external boxing-assisted bionic metal mechanical prostheses' as the 'Shining Light Phase System', abbreviated as 'Light Phase System', or simply two words - Light Phase.

After all, the glowing appearance of those two mithril iron arms, clenched into fists and put together, was too much like the ring lights and big lights that were responsible for backlighting behind the gods and Buddhas in the legends of the previous life.

Let's get back to the point. To put it simply, the most fundamental purpose of the fighting steel armor is to build a container outside the human body that can withstand the operation of the configuration force, and imitate the soul armor to make it have multiple functions such as amplifying the power of the configuration force and protecting the boxer himself.

To give the simplest example, if one simply practices boxing to reach the level of fighting spirit steel armor, it is like an athlete training his cardiopulmonary system to a capacity and strength comparable to that of a pure steel high-pressure oxygen cylinder.

In contrast, the combat suit that Alvin is preparing to make is for athletes whose cardiopulmonary systems have not yet reached this level. It will be equipped with a pure steel high-pressure oxygen cylinder that can supply oxygen outside the body, allowing them to experience similar abilities in advance.

Although the latter can easily lead to over-reliance on external objects, thus slowing down one's progress towards a higher state, most people are unable to reach that state in the first place, and becoming familiar with similar abilities through external objects can actually allow them to unleash even greater power.

Therefore, Ivan was actually a little regretful about this. If possible, he certainly hoped that everyone could reach the highest level on their own, and he was even prepared to deduce the lower-level extraordinary classes that best matched the boxer, namely the first-level boxer and the second-level fist fighter.

If these two more targeted extraordinary job introductions are promoted within the Free Fist, it will definitely increase the potential and promotion success rate of boxers.

But Alvin also knew that regardless of the fact that the deduction of the extraordinary job introduction had not yet been completed, even if it was successfully promoted, it was still unrealistic to expect everyone to practice on their own to reach the level of fighting spirit steel armor.

Even if everyone's talent allowed it, the tight time would not allow it, and the external environmental pressure brought by the remaining three wizard kings would not allow this to happen.

Therefore, he could only settle for the second best and planned to forge an external object called "Fighting Clothes" in order to quickly improve the fighting power of the Fist Fighters.

"If we can really simulate the fighting spirit steel armor, we must complete it no matter how much it costs!" After listening to Ivan's description, Brad immediately made the decision.

"Is there anything we can do to help?"

"Materials, and a model trying on the jumpsuit." In a sense, it was indeed a model. Thinking of this, Alvin couldn't help but smile, but then he immediately became serious.

"Seriously speaking, there are certain risks in this matter, so I will definitely be the first person to try on the 'fighting suit'." Hearing this, senior brother Brad immediately wanted to express his objection, but Ivan raised his hand to stop him.

Then, Brad listened to the black-haired boy, who was his junior fellow apprentice, continue to speak:

"Of course, my personal situation is rather unique and cannot represent the general situation of the majority. In other words, it is not universal enough. Therefore, the Douyi experiment will definitely require the participation of other boxers of different types and levels."

"Even so, I hope that before they officially join the experiment, they can be informed in advance about the potential risks of this work, and then suitable volunteers can be selected based on the voluntary principle."

Although he came to a different world, Ivan's morals and values ​​still made him decide to abide by higher moral standards when conducting experiments.

In his opinion, no matter how noble the purpose is, if one completely ignores the various means used in the process, the noble purpose will inevitably be stained with an indelible stain.

"Let me do it." Brad said without hesitation:

"Brother, are you stupid?" Alvin insulted directly.

"As the leader of a vibrant new social gang, how could you possibly be the guinea pig yourself?"

"How can you talk to your senior brother like that? Also, what do you mean by gang leader? We are not a desert gang!" Brad slammed the table with confidence.

"I am a boxer, and so are others. This plan was proposed by my junior brother, so how can it be someone else's turn!" The leader of the Fist of Freedom and the chairman of the Fighter Council spoke more and more confidently, his words full of Fat Tiger-like self-righteousness.

"I can't reach an agreement with you. Just provide good materials. I'll take care of the rest!" Alvin also slammed the table. It was a pity that this desk had to withstand the beatings from two top boxers at the same time. He was truly a dedicated pioneer.

In this way, the two finalized their next plan during the quarrel.

Nunnris, the city-state ruled by the former Witch King Thaned, is one of the few city-states in the Silent Desert that possesses mineral resources. Therefore, after occupying this place, the Fists of Freedom finally got rid of the embarrassing situation of not being able to obtain metal to cast weapons.

However, today's fist fighters are still more accustomed to fighting with their own hands. But the regular army composed of ordinary people has begun to mass-assemble metal armor and various swords and weapons.

So, Alvin easily got a variety of metal materials including gold.

Taking cost and battlefield conditions into consideration, he chose to use metal to make the "fighting suit" and designed it to resemble armor. To this end, Ivan also hired several dwarf craftsmen as assistants through Thorin.

Although due to his own deliberate control, the dwarves did not feel the special magical fluctuations from the descendants of the Titans, and they did not bow down immediately when they met them like the knowledgeable elder did last time.

However, the pure cheating smelting technology of [Reshaping the World] still made these craftsmen who were originally a little averse to tall people show a ghost look of "Wife, come and see God".

Alvin did not become proud of this, but instead humbly asked the dwarf craftsmen about various knowledge about metallurgy.

While his exceptional talent can certainly allow him to start his race ahead of others, his expertise can allow him to run faster and farther after the start, ultimately reaching a new realm that no one has ever reached.

Ivan has always maintained a very clear understanding of this.

Therefore, after a period of research and development, the earliest "prototype fighting suit" was successfully launched.

Well, it's just that along with the birth of the 'prototype fighting suit', a small explosion occurred...

Chapter 27: Indecision

Due to his previous experience in making the 'light phase system', Alvin already had a preliminary idea of ​​how to make the 'fighting suit', and the progress of the entire plan was therefore faster than expected.

In addition, there was another matter that he pondered for a long time and could not make a decision. That was whether to inform Elrond and Lind's people of the situation in the Silent Desert through letters or more confidential means.

In the world of Palladia, because there have been several periods of civilization interruption, relying on archaeology for technological development is no joke.

Similarly, the technological heritage of the Giant Kingdom has unparalleled appeal to any country.
