At the border of Great Xia…
It had been several months since Yin Wuyou returned to the Ten Nations Continent.
Back then, the Demon Realm army that had invaded the Ten Nations Continent had been trapped in the capital of Great Wei by the Ten Nations. Because of Zhou Shu’s appearance, their escape route had been cut off, and they had been completely wiped out.
Since then, the Ten Nations Continent temporarily regained its previous peace. But beneath the calm water, all the nations were carrying out military preparations.
Back then, Yin Wuyou had said in front of the emperors of the other nations that Great Xia’s Forging Division was open to all nations. As long as they had enough money, any nation could purchase the weapons of Great Xia’s Forging Division.
In the past few months, the Great Xia Forging Division had received more orders than in the past few years.
As the person in charge of Great Xia’s Forging Division, Yin Wuyou was naturally extremely busy.
But there were benefits to being busy. If she wasn’t busy, she was afraid that she would miss Zhou Shu so much that she would go crazy!
“Grand Minister, the three thousand Hundred Refinements Ring Pommel Sabers have been handed over to Great Liang,” a middle-aged man in his forties said respectfully to Yin Wuyou.
Zhang Yibei had never thought that he could still achieve meteoric success at his age.
Thinking of the scene of forging with Zhou Shu back then, he still felt as if it was yesterday.
At the time, he was only a Forging Apprentice, and Zhou Shu was also a Forging Apprentice.
In the past, he had only dared to dream that he would one day become a true Forging Master and change his fate.
But the more he interacted with him, the further he felt from becoming a Forging Master.
He was already prepared to be an ordinary Forging Apprentice for the rest of his life. He didn’t expect such an opportunity to fall from the sky. He was appointed as the superintendent of the 0th Workshop and was in charge of overseeing the forging of all the standard weapons in Great Xia’s Forging Division!
He was nominally a superintendent, but his authority was definitely much greater than that of a superintendent.
From an ordinary Forging Apprentice, he had become the top superintendent of the 108 workshops of Great Xia’s Forging Division. Zhang Yibei knew that all of this was because he had once worked for Zhou Shu!
What he had to do now was to do the job well. The emperor and the grand minister had made him the superintendent on account of Zhou Shu. He couldn’t embarrass him.
“Okay.” Yin Wuyou nodded. “Great Qin wants five thousand Horse Slaying Sabers. Speed up the workshops’ progress. Everyone has worked hard these past few days, and the remuneration of all Forging Apprentices will increase by fifty percent.”
“Thank you, Grand Minister,” Zhang Yibei said seriously.
He was about to report the consumption and profits of the workshops when someone suddenly rushed in.
“Your Highness, please return to the capital quickly!”
The person who came was the Divine Constable Bureau’s commander, Ma Fengzhang. After the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, Great Xia was short of manpower. Now, when Yin Wuyou went to the various nations to discuss the weapons business, Ma Fengzhang would personally lead people to protect her.
Ma Fengzhang’s third-rank cultivation was already very powerful back then. But now, Yin Wuyou was already a first-rank martial artist, while he was still a third-rank martial artist…
It was only because he had more life experience. Otherwise, he didn’t know who was protecting who.
“What happened in the capital?” Yin Wuyou said in surprise.
“The cultists of the Demon God Sect have gathered at the border of Great Xia to attack us,” Ma Fengzhang said solemnly. “There’s an army of the Demon God Sect a hundred kilometers away from us. We have to leave this place as soon as possible!”
They had come to the border this time to deliver a batch of weapons to Great Liang. There were only a few thousand soldiers accompanying them, but they couldn’t stop the crazy Demon God Sect.
“Demon God Sect?” Yin Wuyou frowned. “Is it those beasts who worship demonic beasts and have appeared recently?”
“It’s them,” Ma Fengzhang said. “Actually, the Demon God Sect has always existed. In the past, our Fiend Eradication Army existed to deal with them. But before, the various nations didn’t pay enough attention to it. I didn’t expect the Demon God Sect to have secretly accumulated such power.
“A month ago, they took down three cities of Great Wei and have already gathered a million soldiers! Now that they’ve bared their claws to Great Xia, I’m afraid things are a little troublesome.”
Ma Fengzhang’s expression was very solemn.
Before the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, even if the Demon God Sect had a million soldiers, Great Xia wouldn’t be afraid at all.
But in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, the elites of the three armies of Great Xia had all entered the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield and never returned.
Right now, it might not be able to gather a million soldiers from all of Great Xia. Facing the Demon God Sect, they might not have much of an advantage.
“His Majesty has already mobilized the army. Your Highness, we have to leave the border as soon as possible, or we will be surrounded by the Demon God Sect army—”
Before Ma Fengzhang could finish speaking, he saw smoke and dust soar into the sky in the distance. Then the ground shook.
“Oh no!” Ma Fengzhang’s expression changed drastically. “Protect Her Highness!”
In the distance, the Demon God Sect army had already appeared in his field of vision.
The Demon God Sect believed in the Demon God, and they colluded with the demonic beasts on the Ten Nations Continent. In the distance, the troops of the Demon God Sect rode on demonic beasts and waved their weapons. They completely combined the strengths of humans using weapons with the strengths of demonic beasts.
This was a demonic beast cavalry!
Their combat strength was much stronger than that of ordinary armies of the Ten Nations!
“The people from Great Xia’s Forging Division are ahead. Kill them all and snatch their weapons!” A loud shout came from afar.
No matter how slow Yin Wuyou’s reaction was, she already understood that this Demon God Sect army was coming for them!
Their goal was to snatch the weapons they were delivering to other countries!
