After leaving Fire Axe Mountain, they continued to station their troops outside Silver Fir City. This time, however, Lin Muyu ordered Fengxi to lead five hundred mercenaries from the Longdan Army Camp into Silver Fir City. They would be able to coordinate with those outside the city at any time, and with their backs to Silver Fir City, they could enter the city at any time. Although Silver Fir City's walls weren't particularly thick, they at least had enough food and water.
… …
At dusk, the afterglow of the setting sun shone upon the camp. The Spirit Medicine Division was already cooking meat soup and frying the army flatbread a little so that the soldiers could enjoy it more.
Inside the central tent, Luo Yu, Qi Ying, Wei Qiu and the others were standing around a sand table. Although this sand table made of silt was simple and crude, it at least had a rough representation of the entire Cangnan Province. Wei Qiu was a meticulous man. He inserted a small blue flag into the sand table and said, "Within the Cangnan Province, the main altar of the House of Chivalry had more than five thousand soldiers. We've already eliminated them, but there are still a total of forty-seven branches left. Going by the distance, the branch in Cloud Province is the closest with around five hundred and fifty people. The second is the branch on the east of Silver Fir City with around four hundred people. There's nothing to fear."
Xiahou Sang said, "Milord, if we were to eliminate them one by one, it would take too much time. This general suggests that we split our forces. We'll split into ten groups of one thousand men and eliminate them together. What does Milord think?"
"Mm."
Lin Muyu nodded and said, "Then let's pick ten capable chiliarchs to lead the troops. Remember, we'll try to get them to surrender first. If they don't succeed, then we'll attack. Try to minimize our losses from the House of Gallantry."
"Yes, this general understands!"
Lin Muyu then looked at Wei Chou and said, "How is the establishment of the Divine Bow Battalion going?"
Wei Qiu smiled slightly: "Reporting to Master, this general has already selected a hundred mercenaries with extraordinary archery skills from the Brave Dragon Camp. In the future, these people will be able to train in the consummate skill of shooting a Poplar from a hundred steps away!"
"En, that's good!"
Lin Muyu let out a sigh of relief and said, "Alright, everyone is tired after a busy day. Let's go back and rest early. We'll set out to eliminate the bandits tomorrow morning! In addition, place our scouts further away and pay close attention to the movements of the Five Valley City's troops. "
"Yes!"
…
After everyone dispersed, Lin Muyu sat on the edge of the bed and circulated the Forging Dragon Bone Remnant Scroll to recover her dou qi and physical strength. Soon after, she got off the bed and took out a crystal from her cosmos bag. It was really a white diamond. This crystal pillar was about one meter long and ten centimeters thick. It was exquisitely carved and sparkled under the light.
Glancing at the door, he ordered, "No one can come in without my permission."
"Yes, my lord!" The guard replied solemnly.
Lin Muyu raised her hand and summoned her cauldron. It was time to verify whether the legend was true or not. Was it true that a weapon forged from white diamond could break through battle armor? If it was true, then this trip to Fire Axe Mountain was a huge profit. If it wasn't, then it would only be an empty joy.
"Swoosh swoosh …"
Strands of heavenly fire lingered around the crystal and began to refine this hard iron stone. Her spiritual sense slowly seeped into the crystal and dissected the spirit stone layer. Immediately, the fire drilled into the spirit stone layer and quickly melted the iron. Not long after, small white diamond particles like the tip of a needle floated in the molten iron. These were real white diamonds.
Lin Muyu frowned and continued to use the heavenly fire to refine the crystal. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't melt these particles. These particles were abnormally hard and solidified. The only thing Lin Muyu could do was to reshape the solidified form of these particles. Suddenly, her heart sank. Perhaps these particles could be reshaped and condensed on the blade. In that case, the sharpness of the blade would be greatly enhanced!
Immediately, she took out the Dragon Spirit Sword and placed it into the cauldron. Immediately, the Dragon Serpent Sword Spirit let out a series of roars. Lin Muyu spread her fingers and controlled the white diamonds to attach to the sword, quickly turning it into a sharp edge. This way, the sharpness of the Dragon Spirit Sword would not be affected, but it would also greatly increase the strength of the sword!
Only a fist-sized white diamond had been extracted from the entire white diamond crystal pillar. Half of it had been smelted into the blade of the Dragon Spirit Sword. The remaining half could be used in other areas.
…
"Buzz!"
Lin Muyu held the Dragon Spirit Sword in his hand again. The blade seemed to be plated with a layer of silver light and was glowing brightly. Lin Muyu was secretly delighted. He could feel the joy of the sword soul in his palm. The Dragon Spirit Sword had been strengthened after the blade was reforged!
He slowly returned the Dragon Spirit Sword to its sheath. He looked around with a satisfied expression and picked up a bunch of arrows from the side. The arrowheads of these arrows were made of hard steel and were very sharp. But no matter how sharp they were, they couldn't pierce through the defenses of heavy shields and armors. Therefore, these arrows could only cause fatal damage to some light armored troops. Once they encountered heavy cavalry like the Flying Mount Battalion, they would probably be useless.
But this situation was going to change today.
"Swoosh …"
She tossed the first arrow into the cauldron, and the wooden branch that was the arrow was immediately burned to ashes. The steel arrowhead also quickly turned red. Before the arrowhead could melt, Lin Muyu immediately activated his Battle Qi and controlled a small amount of white diamond particles to attach to the arrowhead. His spiritual perception seeped into the arrowhead and quickly sharpened the blade. Not long after that, a silver-plated arrowhead appeared in front of him.
"Can this thing really pierce through battle armor?"
Lin Muyu held the scorching arrowhead with a doubtful look on his face. With that in mind, he didn't think too much about it. He suddenly crossed his left arm in front of his chest and quickly condensed his Battle Qi armor. He then stabbed the arrowhead down with all his might. A sharp pain immediately came from his left arm. Sure enough, the white diamond arrowhead broke through the defense of his battle armor and left a wound on his arm.
"Heavens …"
Lin Muyu was completely shocked. After stepping into the second heavenly layer, she thought that ordinary weapons could no longer harm her. Now that she thought about it, this thought was laughably childish. Everything in the world had a natural counter to each other, and this white diamond was like the nemesis of battle armor. It was like fire was afraid of water. After being hit by the white diamond arrowhead, it automatically dissipated.
She used her Battle Qi to stop the bleeding and put the arrowhead aside. Then, she pulled out all the arrowheads from the cluster of arrows and smelted them into white diamonds one by one. However, there were nearly a hundred arrows in this cluster, and half of the crystal pillar was only enough to smelt 50 arrows. She had no choice but to smelt the second white diamond crystal. As a result, after tempering all 100 arrows into white diamond arrowheads, she also tempered the Pear Blossom Spear and Demonic Noise Saber with white diamonds. This also meant that if she encountered a powerhouse above the second heavenly layer, the weapons tempered with white diamonds would achieve a miraculous effect!
In fact, there was only one reason why Lin Muyu was so eager to smelt so many white diamond arrowheads, and that was to deal with a Sanctuary powerhouse!
After Zeng Yifan killed Rong Hanyuan in Ze Tian Palace, who wouldn't be afraid of the power of the Sanctuary? Even Qin Lei, Feng Jixing, and the others couldn't fight back against Zeng Yifan, let alone other people. Moreover, no one knew how many powerhouses were hiding on this continent. Zeng Yifan, Qu Chu, and Lei Hong weren't the only ones in the Sanctuary. This was already an indisputable fact.
The main reason why Lin Muyu ordered Wei Chou to build a Godly Archer Battalion for the Longdan Army Camp was to use this army to deal with the Sanctuary! That's right, under the explosive shooting of a group of Godly Archers' white diamond arrowheads, any Sanctuary powerhouse would probably fall into a desperate situation, right?
After placing this bundle of white diamond arrowheads beside the bed, Lin Muyu finally calmed down and fell into a deep sleep. She hadn't had a good sleep for many days. Now that she was in the center of an army of 10,000, there was no need to talk about her safety, so she could have a good sleep.
… …
The night passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already early morning. The sound of horse hooves outside woke Lin Muyu up. After she got up and washed up, Wei Chou had already come over with the Demon Devouring Bow. He smiled and said: "Milord, did you sleep well?"
"Very well."
Lin Muyu smiled slightly and said: "Wei Chou, carry the bundle of arrowheads in my room, we'll go to the shooting range now and try it out."
"Oh?"
Wei Chou didn't question much and went in to carry the arrows out. Looking at the luster of the arrows, his heart sank and he said: "Milord, these arrows … … have an inexplicable feeling of sharpness … …"
"Mm, let's go."
When they arrived at the shooting range, they saw a group of soldiers from the Divine Archer Unit practicing mounted archery. The target was covered with arrows, and the hooves of horses galloped back and forth. However, there were a few Tian Chong Army heavy cavalry chatting and laughing to the side. Among them, Qi Ying raised her spear and said with a smile, "No matter how good one's archery is, it is impossible to pierce through the armor of heavy cavalry. It's all in vain … …"
Wei Chou was somewhat displeased. "That may not be true. As long as it is accurate, it is possible to kill with one arrow."
Qi Ying laughed heartily. "It's just that not every archer can train their archery to Milord Wei Chou's level. General Lin, don't you think so?"
"That may not be true."
Lin Muyu smiled mysteriously and said: "Qi Ying, place your Tian Chong Army's shield under the target. Wei Chou, shoot an arrow and see if it can pierce through the shield."
"Okay!" Qi Ying spurred her horse forward, unconvinced. She placed a black heavy shield under the target and said with a smile, "The Tian Chong Army's Black Stone Shield weighs at least a hundred pounds and is three centimeters thick. Let's see how you can pierce through it!"
Wei Chou did not say anything. He raised his hand and grabbed a white diamond arrow, nocked it on the Demon Devouring Bow, and slowly pulled it back. With a whoosh, the arrow left the bowstring. In the next moment, with a clang, it completely pierced through the shield!
Qi Ying's mouth was wide open in shock. "How … … How is this possible … … This, it must be because of Milord Wei Chou's arm strength that you can do this! If it was someone else, it may not be the same! "
Wei Chou knew the secret behind this and smiled slightly. "Then let's change to someone else … … Sun Hu, you shoot an arrow!"
As he spoke, he handed over a white diamond arrow.
The mercenary from the Longdan Army Camp raised his hand and shot an arrow. Just like before, the arrow pierced through the heavy shield with a clang.
Qi Ying was completely dumbfounded. "This … … There must be something fishy going on. The shields of our Tian Chong Army are not shoddily made low-quality equipment. How is this possible?"
Wei Chou patted his shoulder and smiled. "Alright, let's get ready for the morning's mission!"
