It was something that Long Qian Xing had realized from the very beginning and also the reason why he would always conduct investigation whenever he had to face against someone new.

There will always some kind of surprise that he experienced.

He himself also had knowledge regarding these kind of weapon, but he definitely couldn\'t design them. Even though he knew the basic principle, he didn\'t know the precise number necessary to make it.

It would require a lot of trials and error plus time.

Time that Long Qian Xing didn\'t have.

After thinking for a while, Long Qian Xing simply taught the basic methods to make it if it was necessary. Even if the result was not up to expectation, it was still useful from time to time.

But of course, he didn\'t use it too much because it was not that effective.

But if the catapult that Adjutant Nan made could match against those at Shi Long Kingdom and could be produced and carried easily… things will change.

"This is indeed not easy to make." Duan Shang Shao clicked his tongue. "But only a few parts are difficult. The rest could be easily made as long as you have some basic skills in carpentry."

"This still needs testing." Nan Hua glanced at Feng Ao Kuai. "The performance can still be optimized if the parts\' size is calculated properly."

"Got it." Feng Ao Kuai grinned.

This kind of thing was something that he liked to dabble in. He had been thinking of various tactics on the battlefield and adding some kind of entertainment by helping to adjust the catapult will definitely be very interesting.

If Nan Luo knew what Feng Ao Kuai was thinking, he would definitely vomit blood.

The difficult task of optimizing weapon turned out to be an entertainment for Feng Ao Kuai. If it was changed to Nan Luo, he would have long searched for a white flag, indicating that he surrendered.

"I see."

Long Qian Xing felt a bit of pity. The parts he saw in the blueprints looked very complete and if it could truly be built, it would definitely be very helpful for them.

"Would you like a cooperation instead, Young Commander Long?" Feng Ao Kuai asked. "This can take a long time and might burn a lot of money, but if the end result is good, the military will definitely want to use it on the battlefield."

Feng Family definitely didn\'t have so much money to spend.

Even the Nan Family already had so much other business on hand and could only cover the cost partially. If they truly want the catapult to be ready as fast as possible, the resources needed were enormous.

And Nan Hua definitely hadn\'t collected blacksmiths because she didn\'t know exactly who were truly good and not. Selecting them one by one took too much time and Nan Hua eventually gave up.

There were some who were good enough who worked for Dark Moon Organization or Nan Family and had been providing weapons for them.

But their number was not big.

Duan Shang Shao might just be one person, but he was also the leader of the entire blacksmith community in Da Yi City. With him working for Fei Yang Kingdom, the other people under him would be pulled along.

It was the same as recruiting hundreds of good blacksmith at once.

The demands for weapons and armor was big in this area, which was why General Duan allowed his second son to be a blacksmith. And with the talent Duan Shang Shao showed, he become the leader in this area.

Their task was naturally to provide with weapons, armors, and others to the soldiers along the border of Wei Da Kingdom and Zhang Xu Kingdoms.

Now, these people were pulled to Fei Yang Kingdom.

And Long Qian Xing himself naturally had a group of blacksmith working for him, which was why …

Feng Ao Kuai proposed this.

"I don\'t see a reason why I should refuse. However, I think we\'ll need other place to discuss the specific arrangement."

"Alright, I hope that you have some time today, Young Commander Long?"

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. He didn\'t mind dealing in terms of business and the corner of his lips curled up slightly. If he truly wanted to take advantage of other people, it was not completely impossible.

Forget it.

Feng Ao Kuai is still Nan Hua\'s cousin.

He didn\'t want to bully others too much, especially when the other party was related to his little fiancée who was still \'missing.\'

"Yes, shall we discuss this, Second Young Commander Feng?"

At the side, Duan Shang Shao\'s face was a bit dark. He\'s the blacksmith, alright? Why did they discuss about the profit without putting him into the equation? Are they thinking that he worked for free?

But upon thinking of the agreement that Long Qian Xing gave to him and he signed just now, Duan Shang Shao just sighed.

Forget it.

He knew better than anyone that it would be better for him to just give up.

"Let\'s go back, Nan?" Nan Luo asked carefully. He was not that good in terms of negotiation as compared to Feng Ao Kuai. Besides, he could sense that the of them seemed to have entered battle mode to clash against one another.

He didn\'t want to be part of it.

"Mhm." Nan Hua looked at the two young men who left and nodded silently.

The two of them left the blacksmith area.

…

With the fall of Da Yi City, there wouldn\'t be any other generals nearby who could stop the advance of Fei Yang Kingdom\'s soldiers.

Now that the south area was clear, they were going to advance towards Wei Da Kingdom\'s Capital City. General Chi alone was definitely not enough, so there were other people who were called to march into Wei Da Kingdom.

Nan Luo blinked his eyes when Feng Ao Kuai returned after the negotiation and also gave another piece of news. "Brother Ao Si will be here?"
