“Speaking of losses, Your Majesty, there are only a handful of ferries on the Sanggan River. Apart from the largest one, the smaller ferries can only accommodate three or four boats at a time. The Beamon of the Aquatic Race alone can ensure that the Demon Clan’s army cannot cross the river…” Rommel knew well what to say and what not to say. After thinking for a moment, he continued, “…If the Demon Clan intends to sweep through the Northern Donau Wilderness, they must first capture Feilengcui! For this, I suggest you gather elite troops to attack the Red Earth City! The red earth on the Donau Wasteland is extremely rich in metal content, and the city was previously tempered by the Three-Day Fire Enchantments, making it as solid as a city of steel…”
“Rest assured about that. The two Witch Kings are now on their way to the Southern Cross Star Forest. With the intelligence you’ve provided, we are confident of eliminating that Feilengcui Lord and his top warriors!” Queen Jiabao said proudly, “In front of the strongest forces of our Demon Clan, anyone is just a green party blocking a carriage. Even the so-called Aegean Saint Xiao cannot stand in our way! Without a supreme expert, no matter how hard that Red Earth City is, it cannot stop the advance of our Demon Clan’s army!”
“I hope so.” Rommel lowered his head deeply, his thoughts plunged into an indescribable silence.
He understood that the intelligence he had provided to the Demon Clan would undoubtedly bring disaster to his good brother-in-law.
But for some reason, at this moment, there was not even a trace of joy in his heart.
He even hoped that if only Richard could escape this calamity…
Not defeating him honorably on the battlefield, Rommel felt it would be a lifelong regret…
“Your Grace, I have one more thing to ask you about…” Queen Jiabao had an attendant hand a long, brocade box to Rommel. “…What do you think this is all about? Has the military manufacturing in Feilengcui developed to such a luxurious extent?”
Rommel opened the brocade box, revealing a dark golden arrow inside.
The arrow was about 1.4 meters long, with a shaft as thick as a big toe, entirely plated in gold from the arrowhead to the fletching, incredibly heavy in hand.
The arrowhead was a cross-triangle design, and just looking at its destructive shape, one could imagine the terrifying wound this arrow could cause piercing into the flesh.
“This is a cross-leaf heavy arrow with a Jing Gold plating, yet a religious weapon with unsharpened edges. No doubt, it’s a standard arrow used by the ministers and deputies of the Summer Palace of Feilengcui’s God of War.” Rommel weighed the arrow in his hand, silently applauding the gilding craftsmanship. With the unparalleled piercing power of Jing Gold, this arrow was practically a natural Annihilation Arrow.
“This arrow was found on the battlefield from a recent raid on the Wolf Cavalry. According to our dwarf master, the Jing Gold on this arrow has a purity of up to ninety-nine percent, which current technology cannot refine and separate.” Queen Jiabao curiously asked, “Your Grace, you live next to Feilengcui. Do you know how their blacksmiths forge weapons out of Jing Gold of such high purity? Has this Red Earth City become so affluent to use Jing Gold arrows? Even if so, where could they get bows with such high projectile force?”
“Feilengcui possesses a world underground with rich mineral deposits, where countless bare ore can be seen as frequently as shrubs on the surface! But I’ve never heard anyone in Lusen City say the Underground World has a vast amount of Jing Gold mines. Deploying this rare magical metal as standard weapons is too exaggerated!” Rommel wasn’t sure either, “I once lived in the Mulan Empire, a great metallurgy nation, and I never heard of any blacksmith ever being able to refine Jing Gold to ninety-nine percent purity. Such a purity is permanently solidified; how can it be used to make weapons? Unless you use quite powerful fire magic, but even then, large-scale weapon production is impossible!”
“How many blacksmiths does Feilengcui have?” Queen Jiabao’s brow tightened more and more. Feilengcui having the capability to standardize Jing Gold weapons was so terrifying a fact it startled even a Witch King ruling a continent into disbelief. Yet this was undeniable reality before her eyes.
“At least three thousand blacksmiths! That Feilengcui Lord, during the Desert War, managed to round up all the blacksmiths from Kalimantan City of our Mulan Empire! Mulan is the number one metallurgy nation in the desert, and Kalimantan City is the current Sultan Emperor’s land of ascension, owning by far the most blacksmith resources in all of Mulan! And he seized roughly a thousand gray dwarf blacksmiths from Lucian Elves, added to his original Typhon blacksmiths…” Rommel spread his hands, smiling bitterly, “…Even now, that Red Earth City only has about five thousand warriors, almost meaning one warrior with an exclusive blacksmith! No wonder their combat power is so strong, their weapons and equipment so excellent, it’s not unexplainable.”
“Then I must seize this Red Earth City even more!” Queen Jiabao, dazzled by Rommel’s words, saw if she could have so many blacksmiths and resources from the mineral-rich Underground World, the arms capability of the Coast Contribution Continent army would advance leagues beyond.
