Early the next morning.
When the first ray of sunlight filtered through the cracks of the stone house's windows, illuminating the dust in the room.
Wu Liang opened his eyes from a deep sleep, feeling refreshed and energetic.
Feeling warmth and fullness pressed against his chest, Wu Liang looked down.
Akomann was curled up in the crook of his arm like a docile cat, sleeping soundly.
Those long legs, still clad in those black silk stockings, were draped casually over him.
After just one night of entanglement, the stockings were riddled with holes from the intensity of the 'warfare.'
"She's really sleeping soundly..."
Wu Liang smiled, gently pulled his arm out, and carefully got out of bed.
He clenched his fists, feeling the explosive power within his body.
With a thought, he pulled up his personal attribute panel.
[Host: Wu Liang]
[Race: Human]
[Level: LV60]
[Talent: Infinite Bloodline Proliferation Troop Explosion MAX (Passive)]
[Skill 1: Beast Blood Burning LV10 (Active)]
[Skill 2: Earths Grace LV6 (Active)]
[Skill 3: Bloodthirsty Berserk LV9 (System Optimized Version) (Active/Passive)]
[Technology Tree 1: industrial technology tree (Basic Module Unlocked)]
[Technology Tree 2: military technology tree (Junior Module Unlocked)]
His gaze immediately fell upon the newly added skill and technology tree.
[Bloodthirsty Berserk LV9 (System Optimized Version)]: Can be activated manually or triggered passively when life is threatened.
Upon activation, all attributes increase by 90%, pain perception is reduced by 90%, and the user enters a berserk state that ignores pain, lasting for 10 minutes.
Cooldown: 24 hours.
System Optimized Side Effects: After the state ends, only moderate fatigue occurs; there are no negative effects such as decreased intelligence or inability to distinguish between friend and foe.
Wu Liang sucked in a breath of cold air.
Perverted!
This skill is simply too perverted!
A 90% increase in all attributes!
This almost doubled his combat power on top of his LV60 base!
And there were no serious side effects.
Wu Liang immersed his consciousness into his mind again, eager to check the newly unlocked military technology tree.
Unlike the simple and unadorned interface of the industrial technology tree, the military technology tree's interface was filled with a murderous aura.
The background was a crimson battlefield where countless blurred phantoms of weapons drifted.
Currently, only the lowest-level Junior Module was lit up.
Wu Liang's consciousness touched it, and four brand-new branches instantly unfolded in his mind, turning into four crystal-clear 3D structural diagrams.
[Powerful Composite Bow]: Made by composite pressing various types of wood, animal tendons, and horn pieces.
It possesses range, precision, and power far exceeding ordinary single-piece wooden bows. Comes with a full set of manufacturing processes and detailed material requirements.
[heavy crossbow]: A simplified version of a ballista made of hard wood and metal parts, operable by one or two people.
Equipped with a bolt magazine that can hold ten bolts, it uses a lever principle for rapid cocking, allowing for high-speed continuous firing in a short time.
Possesses immense power, capable of penetrating conventional leather armor within fifty paces. Comes with a full set of manufacturing processes and detailed material requirements.
[tower shield]: 1.5 meters high and 0.8 meters wide, made of multiple layers of pressed hardwood, covered with tough beast hide, and reinforced with iron plating on the edges.
The shield is curved, effectively blocking arrows and impacts.
There are slots on the sides, allowing it to form a solid shield wall with adjacent shields.
Comes with a full set of manufacturing processes and detailed material requirements.
[Two-Wheeled Chariot]: Pulled by two sturdy draft horses, the body is made of wood and leather, accommodating one driver and one combatant.
The axles are reinforced, and the wheels are wrapped in iron, allowing for high-speed charges on flat terrain to break enemy formations or pursue foes.
Comes with a full set of manufacturing processes and detailed material requirements.
Wu Liang looked through them one by one, his heart pounding wildly.
Composite bows, heavy crossbows, tower shields, chariots... any one of these things, if brought out, would be enough to change the nature of warfare in this world!
The composite bow meant his army would have a range advantage, allowing them to strike enemies from where they couldn't be reached.
The heavy crossbow was practically a machine gun of the primitive era!
Imagine hundreds of heavy crossbows firing simultaneously—what kind of death barrage would that be?
Any charge made of flesh and blood would become a joke in the face of such firepower!
The tower shield was the core of a heavy infantry phalanx!
With it, he could build a mobile Great Wall of Steel, crushing all enemies head-on!
As for the Two-Wheeled Chariot... although it had high terrain requirements, in open areas, it was a ruthless killing machine!
Fantastic!
In Wu Liang's mind, he had already begun conceptualizing a brand-new army.
An indestructible defensive line formed by tower shield heavy infantry, with heavy crossbowmen providing terrifying fire suppression from the rear.
Composite bow light cavalry harassing and pursuing on the flanks, and Two-Wheeled Chariots serving as the decisive shock force... such an army, even if all the Tribes of the Great Desolate Mountain joined together, wouldn't be enough to fill the gaps between his teeth!
Under his leadership, the Black Rock Tribe would have no equal in the Great Desolate Mountain!
Wu Liang's breathing grew heavy, his eyes flashing with the light of excitement.
Thinking this, he looked back at Akomann, who was sleeping soundly on the bed.
Akomann, the former leader of the Bloodfang Tribe, had rich combat experience.
Furthermore, she possessed the Bloodthirsty Berserk skill; such terrifying combat talent absolutely could not be wasted.
With just a little bit of training, having Akomann command and train this new army was simply perfect!
This way, by promoting her from a loser to the commander of the new army...
...this trust and glory would be enough to make her completely devoted to him, with no second thoughts.
Having her lead would also perfectly help in winning over the surrendered soldiers of the Bloodfang Tribe, thoroughly converting them into his own strength.
Killing multiple birds with one stone!
"Akomann..."
Wu Liang walked to the bedside, looked at her sleeping face, and whispered to himself.
"Your value is far more than just being my woman."
Wu Liang wanted her to become the sharpest blade in his hand!
Having figured all this out, Wu Liang could no longer stay in bed.
He put on his clothes and strode out of the stone house.
The Tribe had already awakened in the early morning, with busy figures everywhere.
Spinning and weaving, repairing houses, making tools—it was a scene of thriving prosperity.
But Wu Liang knew that all this peace and prosperity would be fragile without the support of powerful military force.
He had to strengthen the Black Rock Tribe's armaments as quickly as possible and turn his ideas into reality!
Wu Liang strode toward the Tribe's Artisan district.
In the Artisan district at this time, the furnace fires were burning brightly.
Since the textile plan began, this had become one of the busiest places in the entire Tribe.
Dozens of ingenious tribespeople, led by a woman named Chief Steward Wula, were constantly manufacturing new spinning wheels and looms every day.
Their status had also risen, making them highly respected technical personnel in the Tribe.
When Wu Liang strode in, everyone stopped their work and bowed respectfully to him.
"Lord Wu Liang!"
Wu Liang waved his hand, his gaze sweeping over the textile tools that were already taking shape, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Chief Steward Wula, gather all the best Artisans. I have new things for you to build."
Wu Liang's voice was filled with unquestionable authority.
"Yes!"
The old Artisan Chief Steward Wula did not dare to delay and immediately blew a bone whistle.
Soon, over a dozen of the most skilled female Artisans gathered before Wu Liang.
