324: Chapter 67: Prefers Arms to Glamour_2 324: Chapter 67: Prefers Arms to Glamour_2 As it turns out, Fairy Dragon was not bluffing.
Her proficiency, gained from her many years of travel in the human world, was clearly evident.
Watching her skillfully wield the hamr and strike the anvil, she was by no ans as casual as she made herself out to be.
Seeing everyone’s shocked gaze, the Fairy Dragon gave a slight grin, “After all, I am part of the Dragon Clan and possess so strength, you can’t be that surprised.”
Who convinced that Fairy Dragon didn’t have much strength?
From the way she swung the hamr, Liu was rather upset.
To learn from Fairy Dragon’s forging techniques, Liu invested considerably, sending Vieri with a few militian to Witherspoon and hired a dozen craftsn from the Buer Tribe.
The craftsn were instructed to follow the Fairy Dragon to gain insight into the art of forging.
When Vieri returned, besides bringing back the craftsn, he also brought grim news.
In the fall campaign against the Desert People, the initial success of the fight made the Bimon Army overconfident.
So divisions of the Turen Corps sent to the frontlines were lured into the vast Takshsmago Desert.
They got lost, and to this day, there has been no sign of them — likely wiped out completely.
Witherspoon is now shrouded in a gloom of sorrow.
For this campaign against the Desert People, the Northeast Province’s Turun Corps had dispatched ten combined teams.
After prolonged combat, only five intact units remain, losing half of their troops.
“Any news from Prince Richard?”, Liu perked up.
He indeed would be glad if the prince had fallen in battle within the Turun Corps.
“No, Prince Richard, for his bravery in battle and claiming more than a dozen heads, has already been awarded the Double-headed Eagle dal by the Elder Senate.
It is said that in the spring, during the Kingdom’s Olympic Conference, he will be personally knighted by the High Priest,” Vieri hesitated as he reported.
“Just a dozen heads and he gets the Double-headed Eagle dal?
It seems rather cheap,” Liu expressed his disappointnt at this piece of news.
“Any other significant casualties in other divisions?” Cui Beixi asked anxiously.
“Aside from the Turun Corps, none were wiped out.
There were significant non-combat causalities.
The desert nights are extrely cold, and many soldiers were frostbitten.
Our logistics were stretched due to the early rapid advancent, causing a severe shortage of Witch Doctors on the frontlines,” The bear knight expressed his regret.
“We should send so monks to the frontlines,” The Female Snake suggested, “It is for the nation, the soldiers need their help.”
“Absolutely,” Liu unusually agreed without bargaining, which surprised Cui Beixi.
“Everyone has a responsibility for the rise or fall of the world,” Liu uttered this surprisingly wise phrase, astonishing those present.
The Female Snake teacher felt so solace in her heart.
“Child, you’ve grown up,” Cui Beixi mused to herself.
Andulan and the Monk Corps were sent off with a massive bonfire feast in Feliinger to serve the country.
However, rely two months later, the Monk Corps returned to Felinger.
When the Elder Andulan returned, the Felinger militia’s weapons had just been forged.
All the troops had been withdrawn to the Red Earth Highland of Feliinger to practice with new weapons.
Without even the ti to greet their lord, the Green Party monks were attracted by the shiny new weapons and cheered.
While Andulan silently resented his disciples’ impulsiveness, he smiled at the lord wielding two huge tiger head hooks.
The mammoth strongn were equipped with 2-edged long army knives.
Each carried two on their back and one in hand.
In the battle with the bandit coalition, two giant Earth Badgers and a Giant Bear had miraculously survived despite serious injuries.
Now, the greedy Lord had included them in his Cavalry with Korina training them.
This type of army knife was designed personally by the Lord, imitating the curve of the ivory machetes.
The knife’s back is thickened, and lead is poured in the handle to increase the weight.
As such, each knife weighs a staggering 120 pounds.
Upon the completion of the knives, Liu felt they bore an uncanny resemblance to cavalry war swords but far more brutal.
The curvature was more conducive for hacking, and the broadened back could be used as a blunt weapon.
A hit from a 120-pound iron rod would surely cause so damage.
Just looking at the machete, Andulan shivered a bit.
“What a beautiful blade; I’ve never seen one like this before.
What’s it called?”, the Mantis Monks, sword enthusiasts themselves, instantly fell in love with the brutal blade.
They gawked at the striking patterns on the blade, shimring slightly under the sun, as if drenched in fresh blood.
“Check out the patterns on this one.
It’s been folded and hamred 150 tis by the Buer Tribe craftsn, layer upon layer to form this beautiful cloud pattern.
They used up ten oil stones just to sharpen each blade.
It is our Lord’s unique design, called the Feliinger Dragon Slayer,” Korina, whose injuries had healed, couldn’t help boasting.
