Chapter 223: A Trip to Gengxin City
With respectful shouts of "Holy Maiden", Qian Yuelong came to the outside of the Martial Spirit Holy City.
The two teams of five hundred Holy Soul Knights rode on the backs of armoured horses, their uniform Mithril armor shining sharply in the warm sunlight.
"Yuelong, you're here."
A female voice wrapped in a deep smile sounded.
Qian Yuelong took the leash from the hand of the knight leading the horse, turned over and got on the horse neatly, her slender and powerful legs slightly clamped the horse's belly, and the war horse shook its head, facing another horse approaching with its hooves at the signal of the owner on its back.
"Nana, are you all here?"
Qian Yuelong asked as usual.
Hu Liena, who was approaching on a war horse, nodded, more feminine than before, and with a hint of sharp facial features, she revealed a bit of blood-stained slaughter: "It's all here." ”
The softness and steel of contradiction appear in a person's body at the same time, but it is not at all contrary to harmony.
"Then let's go, go to Gengxin City."
Qianyuelong turned the horse's head and led the team to gallop at the head.
Hu Liena followed, followed by five hundred Holy Soul Knights.
The reason why they want to ride horses is because this group of Holy Soul Knights is not a soul master, but an "ordinary person" who is really proficient in various weapon moves and body techniques.
Although with their current physical strength, they can keep up even if they move quickly, but there is no need to spend important physical strength in irrelevant places.
Gengxin City is the location of the General Association of Blacksmiths, and it is also the largest metal ore trading market on the Douluo Continent, with the title of "Metal Capital".
It is located within the territory of the Star Luo Empire, which is partial to the inland area of the Star Luo Empire. Although it is one of the main city-level cities of the Star Luo Empire, compared to other famous towns, it is very low-key and not taken seriously, because the membership status of the Blacksmith Guild is the same as that of civilians in the Star Luo Empire.
To become a blacksmith, you don't need to be a soul master, you can also be an ordinary person, but you need a lot of strength to be able to move the iron.
Back then, Tang Hao, who was in seclusion in the Holy Soul Village, relied on his position as a "blacksmith" to eat in the village without arousing the suspicion of others.
The base camp was originally in the Martial Spirit Holy City in the area between the two empires, and it would take five days to travel to Gengxin City on horseback.
Qian Yuelong went to Gengxin City because their Wuhun Empire expanded its territory to the location of Gengxin City, and under the three iron laws of Qianyuelong's strong decree that those who surrender should not be killed, soldiers must not kill civilians indiscriminately, and civilian property was looted, the blacksmith association in Gengxin City stubbornly refused the Wuhun Empire's recruitment.
The city lord of Gengxin City, who had already promised to surrender: "."
He wanted to curse, but many people in the Blacksmith Association were diehards, thinking that the Wuhun Empire was a strategy to slap a sweet date.
The so-called slap is to mention the person in charge of the Martial Soul Branch Hall who was originally stationed in Gengxin City.
During his reign, he bullied men and women, took advantage of his position and background, and often threatened the blacksmiths association at auctions jointly organized by the blacksmith association, saying that it was "credit", but in fact he prostituted all the auction items for nothing, which was notorious in the city, and the whole thing was a moth.
After receiving the information that Gengxin City was seriously divided and had not returned for a long time, Qian Yuelong investigated the personnel of the Martial Spirit Branch Hall who were originally stationed inside.
After finding out this reason, she directly threw the original person in charge to the "killing capital" that has now become a special prison, and other knights who aided in the abuse, those who committed serious evil deeds were treated equally, and the knights who were light or had hidden secrets were taken to the knight camp to be punished and reformed, and also cleaned up the entire Wuhun Empire, and strictly forbade any soul master in the Wuhun Empire to do anything that corrupted and dragged down the reputation of the empire.
The original head and one of the cardinal bishops at the top were nepotistic.
But when he learned that it was Qian Yuelong, he didn't dare to raise any objections, and he didn't go to plead.
Today's saints are different from the gentle and pure saints of the past.
Time changes a person.
The current saint seems to be gentle, but her wrists are tough.
He didn't dare to touch the saint's head, and he would let himself sit together.
Wuhun Palace, ah no, Wuhun Empire, there has never been a shortage of powerful soul masters.
To be able to sit in the position of cardinal, of course, he has the vision.
Five days later, the tall iron-gray walls could be seen in the distance.
The entire city of Gengxin is like a steel beast that envelops itself and arms it, and it is strictly guarded.
Although the pace of war is approaching and the city is full of rumors, there are still many people walking around the city, full of compact life.
There are thousands of blacksmith shops in Gengxin City, not to mention the number of blacksmiths, and there are even blacksmiths who come from other cities to assess and learn.
The army's armament, farm tools, buildings, furniture, etc., are inseparable from the participation of blacksmiths.
However, it is such an atmosphere where life is inseparable from blacksmiths everywhere, whether it is the Star Luo Empire or the previous Heaven Dou Empire, they don't pay attention to blacksmiths, and if the situation is bad, there will even be nobles who belittle and expel blacksmiths.
What Qian Yuelong couldn't figure out was that even if Tang San's Tang Sect Elder and the Titan of the Force Clan were the second-in-command of the Blacksmith Association, and the president, the Divine Craftsman Lou Gao was an iron buddy, but this kind of refusal to accept the decision to submit to submission would cost tens of thousands of blacksmiths their lives if it was not done well.
Or does the other party think that their Gengxin City is an iron plate, and they can't kick the Martial Spirit Empire?
Qian Yuelong didn't know.
She decided to talk to the current head of the Blacksmiths Guild in person.
After all, in the current war, blacksmiths are in demand.
The presence of a blacksmith means that there is a supply of various military equipment.
Receiving the news early in the morning, the city lord of Gengxin City, who had been notified in advance, welcomed Qian Yuelong and Hu Liena into the city in a cold sweat, and took the two who entered the city alone to the headquarters of the Blacksmith Association.
The face of the city lord is still somewhat useful in the Thorn Blacksmith Association.
Silong, a high-ranking disciple who came to lead them to see the president, quietly looked at Qian Yuelong and Hu Liena, who were calm and relaxed behind the city lord, and the muscles all over their bodies were tense, ready to guard against the two of them at any time.
The city lord of Gengxin City, who was sandwiched in the middle, wiped his sweat bitterly.
The three of them followed Silong to the door of the cloth alloy on the fifth floor of the association, raised their hands and knocked rhythmically on the door.
It's not a coded notification, it's a deciphering mechanism.
A total of thirty-six strokes seem to be the same landing point, but in fact, Silong's fingers fall at a different point every time, and the strength is also different.
With a click, the heavy alloy door made a slight baffling sound, and a special material reception room suddenly appeared in front of them.
Inside sat a stocky old man, dressed in a wide robe, with some metal powder on his chubby face.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he stood up, and the five Soul Emperor-level blacksmiths behind the sofa chair also looked at him with blazing eyes.
"I didn't expect that the old man's blacksmith would let Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden of the Wuhun Empire come in person. It's really brilliant. ”
The loud and majestic voice of the short and fat old man sounded, and his eyes stared directly at Qian Yuelong beside Hu Liena.
