Chapter 218: White diamond arrowheads

Leaving Fire Axe Mountain, the soldiers were stationed outside Silver Fir City, but this time Lin Mu Yu had Feng Xi lead five hundred Dragon Courage Camp mercenaries into Silver Fir City. They could communicate with those outside at any moment and could rely on Silver Fir City, being able to defend using the walls of the city. Although Silver Fir City's walls weren't considered thick, there was at least enough food and water.

When it was dusk, the setting sun sprinkled over the barracks. The Spiritual Medicine Department had already cooked some meat stew, while also slightly frying the marching pancakes, making them a bit more delicious for the soldiers.

Inside the main tent, Luo Yu, Qi Ying, Wei Chou, and the others were sitting around a sand table. Although this table was crude, at least it demonstrated the entire situation of the Cangnan Province. Wei Chou was very careful as he placed little blue flags onto the table, while he spoke, "In the Cangnan Province, there over five thousand soldiers in the Swordsmen Hall main headquarters, which have already been eliminated by us. There are still forty seven other branches. Based on distance, the Yun Zhong County one is the closest with around five hundred and fifty people. The next closest is the branch to the east of Silver Fir City with around four hundred people. We don't need to fear any of them."

Xiahou Sang said, "Sir, if we eliminate them one by one, it will take too much time. This subordinate suggests we divide our forces. We can have units of one thousand soldiers and divide into ten units to attack at the same time. What does sir think?"

"Un."

Lin Mu Yu nodded and said, "Then pick ten intelligent and strong thousand man commanders. Everyone remember, try to recruit them first before attacking them. Try to reduce our losses when eliminating Swordsmen Hall."

"Yes, this subordinate understands!"

Lin Mu Yu looked at Wei Chou and said, "How is setting up the Divine Bow Camp going?"

Wei Chou revealed a faint smile, "Reporting to sir, this subordinate has already picked out a hundred mercenaries from the Dragon Courage Camp with exceptional archery skills. With time, these people will be able to shoot accurately from a hundred paces!"

"Un, that's good."

Lin Mu Yu let out a breath before saying, "Alright, everyone must be tired after working hard all day, go rest early. We'll set off tomorrow morning! Other than that, set our scouts a bit further out and pay close attention to the movements of Five Valleys City's army."

"Yes!"

After everyone scattered, Lin Mu Yu sat on his bed. He used his Dragon Forged Bone Tome to recover his battle qi and strength before getting off the bed. Taking out the Qiankun Bag, he took out a crystal, which was a white diamond. This crystal was around a meter long and ten centimeters in width. It was exquisitely carved, glossed with a glistening glow.

Looking at the door, he gave an order, "Without my orders, no one is allowed in."

"Yes, sir!" The guards seriously answered.

Lin Mu Yu raised his hand and offered a sacrifice to the alchemy cauldron. It was time to confirm if the legends were true, could white diamond really penetrate battle armour? If it was true, he had gained quite a bit from Fire Axe Mountain. If it wasn't, he could only feel let down.

"Shua, shua….."

The Heavenly Flame lingered around the crystal and began to refine the firm stone. His spiritual sense slowly entered the crystal and began analyzing it by layer. The Heavenly Flame used every chance to penetrate through and quickly refined it. Not long after, grains of white diamond began to move out of the iron slurry. These things were the real white diamonds.

Lin Mu Yu knit his brows and sent in more Heavenly Flames to refine it, but he couldn't melt these grains no matter how hard her tried. These grains were exceptionally hard. The only thing Lin Mu Yu could do was reconstruct the shape of these grains. He immediately came up with an idea. Perhaps these grains could be gathered on the blade of his sword, that way the sharpness of his sword could be greatly increased!

He immediately brought out the Dragon Spirit Sword and put it into the cauldron, causing the roars of the Dragon Snake to ring out. Lin Mu Yu spread his fingers and controlled the white diamond grains to move onto the sword blade, quickly changing the blade's edge. This would not affect the Dragon Spirit Sword's sharpness and would instead greatly increase it!

An entire white diamond crystal could only refine a fist sized white diamond. Half of it was cast over the Dragon Spirit Sword and the remaining half could be used for something else.

"Weng!"

He held the recast Dragon Spirit Sword in his hand. There seemed to be a layer of silver light over the sword blade, sparkling with light. Lin Mu Yu was overjoyed and he felt the joy of the sword spirit from his palm. The strength of the recast blade of the Dragon Spirit Sword had been greatly increased!

The Dragon Spirit Sword slowly returned to its sheath and he had a look of satisfaction. He took a bunch of arrows from the side that had been refined with firm iron. They were very sharp, but they couldn't pierce through shields and armour, so these arrow could only cause fatal wounds to light armour soldiers. When met with heavy cavalry like the Flying Mount Camp, it wouldn't have any use at all.

But that changed today.

"Shua……"

He threw the first arrow into the cauldron and the flames instantly turned the wooden shaft into ashes. The arrowheads quickly turned red, but without waiting for them to melt, Lin Mu Yu quickly used his battle qi and controlled the grains of white diamond onto the arrowheads. His spiritual sense permeated the edge and not long after, a silver plated arrowhead appeared in front of him.

"This toy, can it really shoot through battle armour?"

Lin Mu Yu held the warm arrowhead with a doubtful expression. He didn't think much about it as his left hand came to his chest while his battle qi quickly condensed. He forcefully stabbed it with the arrowhead in his right hand and instantly a sharp pain came from his left hand. As expected, the white diamond arrowhead cleanly penetrated his battle armour and left a wound on his arm.

"God……"

Lin Mu Yu was shocked. After he stepped into the 2nd Heaven Tier, he thought that normal weapons wouldn't be able to injure him. This kind of thought was a joke, the things in this world all interacted with each other and this white diamond was the natural energy of battle armour. It was like fire meeting water, the white diamond arrowhead would immediately destroy it.

Using his battle qi to stop the bleeding, he placed the arrowhead to the side. He threw all the arrows in and refined them one by one with the white diamond. There were over a hundred arrows and half the white diamond crystal was only enough to refine fifty of them. He had no choice, he could only refine a second white diamond crystal. After the hundred arrows were refined with the white diamond, he also refined the Pear Flower Spear and the Demonic Sound Blade with the white diamond. If he met a 2nd Heaven Tier expert, his white diamond weapons would show their effects!

Actually there was only one reason Lin Mu Yu was in such a rush to refine all these white diamond weapons, it was to deal with Saint Realm experts!

After Zeng Yi Fan killed Song Han Yuan in the Ze Tian Palace, who didn't fear the Saint Realm strength? Even Qin Lei, Feng Ji Xing, and the others couldn't fight back against Zeng Yi Fan, not to mention others. Moreover, no one knew how many experts were hidden on the continent. There wasn't just Zeng Yi Fan, Qu Chu, and Lei Hong in the Saint Realm, this was already a fact.

Lin Mu Yu ordered Wei Chou to build a Divine Bow Camp mainly to have an army to deal with Saint Realm experts! That's right, when meeting a group of divine archers shooting white diamond arrows, even a Saint Realm expert would be in a hard position, right?

Putting aside the group of white diamond arrows, Lin Mu Yu finally calmed down and fell asleep. It's been several days since he had slept and being in the center of an army of ten thousand, there was no need to mention his safety, so he could have a good rest.

The night flew by and it was morning in the blink of an eye. The sound of hoofbeats outside woke Lin Mu Yu and he came out after washing up. Wei Chou already had his Demon Devouring Bow on as he said with a smile, "Sir, did you sleep well?"

"Very good."

Lin Mu Yu said with a faint smile, "Wei Chou, bring the arrows out of my room and let's go to the training grounds to test them out."

"Oh?"

Wei Chou didn't ask any questions as he carried the arrows out. Seeing the glow on the arrows, his heart trembled and he said, "Sir, these arrows…..This strangely sharp feeling….."

"Un, let's go."

Coming to the training grounds, there were soldiers from the Divine Bow Camp training there. The targets were filled with arrows and their horses went all around, but there was also a group of Heaven Charging Army heavy cavalry chatting to the side. Among them, Qi Ying held his spear as he said with a smile, "No matter how good one's archery is, it can't beat the armour of heavy cavalry. It is all in vain….."

Wei Chou was a bit dissatisfied, "That is not certain. As long as it is accurate, an arrow can kill in one strike,"

Qi Ying laughed, "Only, can any archer reach the same realm of archery as sir Wei Chou? General Lin, what do you think?"

"That is not certain."

Lin Mu Yu said with a mysterious smile, "Qi Ying, place your Heaven Charging Army's shield onto the target. Wei Chou, fire an arrow and see if it can penetrate the shield."

"Alright!" Qi Ying went over in an unyielding manner and placed a dark shield on the target. He said with a smile, "The Heaven Charging Army's Black Stone Shield is over a hundred pounds and is three centimeters thick. See if you can shoot through it!"

Wei Chou didn't say anything and nocked a white diamond arrow to his Demon Devouring Bow. He slowly pulled back and let it loose with a "sou" sound. There was a "dang" sound and it pierced right through the shield!

Qi Ying couldn't close his mouth and stood there in a dumbfounded manner, "How…..How is that possible…..This, it must be because sir Wei Chou;s arm strength has reached a shocking realm that something like this could happen! It wouldn't happen if it was someone else!"

Wei Chou knew the secret, so he said with a faint smile, "Then let's change people…..Sun Hu, come and shoot an arrow!"

After saying this, he gave him a white diamond arrow.

The Dragon Courage Camp mercenary took this arrow and fired it, penetrating the thick shield with a "dang" sound.

Qi Ying was completely shocked, "This…..This has to be a trick! Our Heaven Charging Army's equipment is not shoddily made, how is this possible?"

Wei Chou patted his shoulder with a smile, "Alright, let's prepare to carry out our morning tasks!"
