Chapter 748: Chapter 162 Golden Substitute_2

"We mean no offense! We merely wish to hunt some magical beasts through the Salino Swamp for their crystal nuclei!" As the commander, the Dark Night Demon Hunter Jalincha had to step forward, her face unchanging as she spun her lies.

Jalincha used her corner of her eye to glance at Mistress You Yue’er while she stalled for time. The expeditionary force had gathered Drow warriors from eight main cities, each overseen by a priest, but now their organization was disrupted. Only the Mistress had the authority to decide whether to retreat first and then summon a larger army to hunt, or to concentrate the remaining forces for another surprise attack.

Looking at it now, if this Beamon Overlord did not intervene, their chances were nil. This was what Jalincha was hinting at with her glance towards the Mistress.

"The Salino Swamp is a forbidden place in the Furious Flame Continent, your words reek of deceit! As for hunting, if you weren’t residing in the Black Domain Continent, I might fancy a visit to your elven territory!" Flame Lord sneered as he extended his webbed huge claw.

"We have to fight, we can’t afford to provoke the Evil Eye and Black Dragon!" Prince Benitez growled at Mistress You Yue’er.

You Yue’er bit her lip, then turned to Richard hidden behind the slope. "My esteemed Lord Richard, with our current strength, even if we successfully hunt the Flame Lord, we will inevitably fall short in tackling the Six-winged Flame Demon. Gathering more troops will take at least a month for coordination and preparation, this will delay your return to the surface..."

"Birdwing Crossbow Car... Heart of Blood Feather... War Ancient Tree... Vine Tree House..." Richard muttered to himself.

"I will give you ten Hearts of Blood Feather! I can take over the four Birdwing Crossbow Cars here, if we can take them back, they all belong to you!" said Mistress You Yue’er seriously. "The main attack will still be carried out by us elves, I need your powerful warriors to help me hold the front line, our formation still exists, as long as the formation is intact, your two magical pets can..."

"You should have said that earlier," Richard suddenly stood, patting the virtual dust off his knees.

All the restless elven warriors also stood up, this time not only the core centaurs, but also two hundred of the strongest antelope warriors under Duncan’s leadership, as escorts for four priests, participated in the demon hunting operation. The battle hearts of each warrior were highlighted by their newly-distributed Crown Thorns Armor, created by the Difeng Giants.

In the times after the phased-out heavy sickle equipment and silver baseplate armors, Earthcore Cold Alloy-made Crown Thorns Armor became the third generation standard armor in the city of elves. This armor was number three in a lineup from a Goblin shop 10,000 years ago; the blueprint of which may now only still be passed by word of mouth among the Difeng blacksmiths.

Due to the complexity of crafting the Crown Thorns Armor, only the most exceptional blacksmiths dared to make it. After the Goblins left the underground, this armor became a work that every Difeng giant had to complete as part of their coming-of-age ceremony.

Because of their habit to preserve steel strength by forsaking quenching, the Difeng Giants, as well as the antelope warriors preserving the old Beamon traditions, do not like to wear armor in battle. Such fine armor pieces became like oriental porcelain. They were originally made for practical use but ended up stored in secret rooms as antiques, forgotten not only by others, but also by their own owners.

Upon the introduction of Lord Richard’s weapon and armor production plan, some Difeng Giants thought of the four hundred pieces of ceremonial armors they had collected over time. This good news almost made Ruona, the taskmaster of weapons and armors, swoon with excitement.

The design of Crown Thorns Armor was very unique. Each joint and vital part was studded with a cluster of half-inch pointed cones circling around a twelve-inch three-pronged spike, making it look like a steel hedgehog. Apart from this, the joints also cleverly enhanced mobility. Secondary weapons included a swan-shaped arm shield, two armor-breaking war hammers, and a sealed Gemini Crown helmet. Elsewhere, such might raise some eyebrows, but in our lands, we call this individuality.

The heavy full-body armor designed by the great wise Goblin was significantly modified by Difeng Giants, with a special focus on reinforcing the chest area. They added Grind Magnet technology to the armor, creating a certain magnetic pull on the enemy’s weapon on close contact. The arm shield was designed similarly. The cruelest part was that the Difeng blacksmiths, inspired by the gravity-repelling property of the Earth’s Sun, used an infusion method to inject stone powder from the Earth’s Sun into the inner layer of the armor. This practically reduced the weight of the heavy armor by seventy percent without the assistance of a Wind Magic Formation. This allowed the Difeng blacksmiths to freely increase the armor’s thickness to enhance its defensive capacity.
