In the room, Sardis sat on a bench.

One leg rests on the knee, one hand rests on the side cheek.

The loose top exposed his strong, wheat-colored chest, which sloped down to his tight wasp waist.

Fragmented blond hair fell down from the side of his pitch-black mask, and the corners of his eyes slightly raised sharp arcs, slanting towards Antiste who was talking to Mia not far away.

His lips were pursed, showing obvious displeasure.

The gaze that glanced at Antiste was a little depressed, but more puzzled.

He was ready to meet someone's mental attacks such as cold eyebrows, sarcasm, sarcasm, and other mental attacks, but all the scenarios he expected did not appear.

Although Antiste's eyes did make him feel dangerous when he saw him for the first time, but after that one glance, Antiste completely ignored him.

Therefore, Sardis' plan to attract firepower so as to induce Mia to defend himself failed.

What made Sardis even more depressed was that he was still waiting for Antiste to reprimand Mia, so that he could sneak in to comfort others.

To let Mia know that she is much gentler than his teacher.

Unexpectedly, Antiste did not play cards according to common sense, which made all the plans that he secretly pondered in his heart fail to succeed.

At this moment, looking at the eyes of Antiste looking down at Mia softly, seeing the soft smile that Mia raised her head to Antiste, and the intimacy between the two...

I don't know if it's an illusion, but he always has a feeling that he seems to have lost again.

…………

and many more.

Why did he say 'again'?

A certain big lion was lost in thought here.

Over there, Mia has already briefly told Antiste about her experience of this month.

After listening, Antiste glanced at Sardis indiscriminately.

It is undeniable that the prince's talent in war is indeed amazing.

At the beginning, King David came up with a way to deal with the enemy army only after he fought with the sea nation's army and was defeated twice.

However, Prince Sardis quickly discovered the weakness of the sea people based on some information obtained from past wars without even fighting against them, and thus laid traps for them.

Perhaps, this prince is even more powerful than he and King David imagined...

"teacher?"

The boy's voice woke him from his contemplation.

Antiste came back to his senses and looked at the little apprentice in front of him.

His little disciple raised his head, his pale golden hair softly scattered around his fair cheeks.

The sapphire-like eyes that seemed to be condensed by a puddle of sea water blinked slightly, as if wondering why he suddenly stopped talking.

The look of looking up at him with his head up and his eyes open is really cute as hell.

Antist's heart moved, and he couldn't help but raised his hand to rub the little apprentice's soft blond hair.

Although Prince Sardis is very powerful.

But to be honest, Mia, who dug out Sardis, who was considered a waste by everyone a long time ago, and personally transformed it into what it is today, is even more powerful.

To sum up, his little apprentice is the best.

Antiste thought happily in his heart while touching his head.

Mia who was suddenly stroking her head with the teacher's smile: "???"

He looked up at the smiling Antiste, and after a while, he suddenly asked: "Teacher, do you really plan to appear only as General Antiste in the future?"

He frowned and said, "That would be a pity."

Antiste smiled.

"Perhaps in the eyes of others, the supreme status of the high priest is simply unmatched by an ordinary general, but for me, this is better."

He said, "Fish and bear's paw, although I lost the more precious bear's paw, I got the fish I wanted more, so I don't feel sorry."

"No, no, teacher, I didn't mean that."

Mia reached out and touched Antiste's face.

he muttered softly.

"I just think it's a pity that teacher, you can no longer show your good-looking face, and you can only bear this ordinary face in your next life."

Antiste: "..."

Sardis: "Pfft."

He couldn't help laughing out loud.

Laughing and gloating.

He is very clear that this guy Mia has liked good-looking people since he was a child, and he can tell from the people around this guy now.

When I was young, I was kind to him because of his face.

Later, because his mother, Opelila, was prettier than him, she directly moved on.

It almost didn't blow him up.

Therefore, when he was fighting these years, he was very careful not to hurt his face.

Thinking of this, Sardis raised his head and first glanced at Antiste's plain face.

Then, he recalled Antiste's original handsome face.

Finally, compare both faces with your own face.

Very well, he won.

The big lion who felt that he had won a game this time was satisfied.

………………

The joy of defeating the invaders for the first time gradually dissipated, and the city of Schulte quickly regained its former calm, and it was more vibrant than before.

More and more people are pouring into the city.

A larger population brings more labor and consumption power to the city, and such a virtuous circle makes the city more prosperous.

Business is becoming more and more prosperous. According to Mia's arrangement, after more than half a year of trials, the fat businessman who has been his adoptive father for dozens of days has officially become a member of the subordinates of the City Lord's Mansion, responsible for the business of Schulte City.

And a new organization affiliated to the City Lord's Mansion, the Chamber of Commerce, has also been established and is in operation.

The old areas in Schulte are still being demolished continuously, and neat new houses are built in the original areas.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

No one noticed that a new construction site was built in a secluded place behind the City Lord's Mansion.

On the construction site, huge stoves burning with raging fire can be seen everywhere.

Metal knocking sounded one after another.

The firelight reflected the dark skins of the shirtless men who were beating hard.

The old blacksmith who was brought back from the royal city by a strange thief was shuttled back and forth among the crowd, instructing the blacksmiths how to forge iron.

When he learned on the way back that the prince of this country had repelled the army of the sea people, his originally cloudy eyes shone with hope.

In his opinion, the Portoyas can defeat the Sea People even when they are at a disadvantage in weapons. Then, after the Portoyas have a sharp weapon that is not inferior to the Sea People, they will definitely be able to completely defeat the Sea People!

Therefore, after coming to Shult City, he did not hesitate to teach the Podoyas people the technology of making iron weapons from their tribe.

He bowed his knees to his enemies, and he forged weapons for his enemies, so that he was able to survive like an ant until now.

And the biggest belief that has supported him for more than ten years is to live to see the day when the brutal nation that destroyed countless tribes will be wiped out.

He wants to see it with his own eyes, in order to commemorate his exterminated tribe and the people who died tragically!

After more than ten days of hard work day and night, after refining countless pig irons, a sharp steel sword was finally successfully forged.

Afterwards, the sword was quickly sent to the City Lord's Mansion.

On the training ground of the City Lord's Mansion, Sardis pulled the sharp sword out of the scabbard.

The sharp blade of the sword reflected a clear light on his face.

Throwing the scabbard aside casually, his fingertips slowly slid across the smooth blade.

The unique coldness of metal seeped into his fingertips.

He looked up, and Nadia who caught his gaze nodded, pulled out the dagger in his hand, and walked into the training ground.

What Nadia is holding in his hand at this moment is not the giant sword he is famous for, but a short dagger.

The small blood groove on the blade of the dagger is dark red, which is the dark color left after the blood deposits have dried up.

Obviously, this sharp weapon has killed many people.

This is a dagger captured from a warrior of the Sea People.

Although it is not amazing in appearance, it is extremely sharp.It can easily cut a hole in the standard weapon of the Portoyas warrior, and if it is used a few times, the weapon will be completely useless.

Nadia slashed at Sardis with a dagger.

Sardis raised the long sword in his hand to meet him.

They are all doing their best, without mercy.

The long sword and dagger collided fiercely.

The sound of metal rubbing suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

Sparks caused by intense friction exploded in the air.

The two passed by.

Sardis raised the long sword in his hand, and everyone present stared at the sharp sword in his hand.

Under the sun, the light refracted by the sharp sword reflected in Sardis' scorching eyes.

It is still intact.

The violent impact just now did not leave a gap on its body, let alone the slightest crack.

Everyone's eyes lit up instantly.

Sardis looked at the sword in his hand, thought for a while, turned around and fought Nadia again, and stopped after a while.

He raised his sword again and looked carefully against the sunlight.

During this period of time, the longsword, which had collided violently with the daggers of the Sea People many times, was still intact.

Sardis's strangely colored eyes reflected the sharp sword blade, as if a sharp blade pierced through his eyes.

At this moment, the corners of his lips were raised high.

Whether it was Nadia who was facing him, or Antiste who was standing outside the training ground, they couldn't help showing excitement.

Even Faer, who was always expressionless, was staring at the sword intently at this moment, with glints flickering in his black eyes.

Mia was the only one on the scene who was relatively calm.

However, he was also quite emotional in his heart.

He looked at the sword and thought: In a sense, that sword means that Portoyas has officially entered the Iron Age from now on.

The glorious Bronze Age is coming to an end.

A new era is about to be born.

Except for him, I am afraid that everyone present would not have thought that this ordinary martial arts training ground is the opening of a new era.

Mia thought again.

On the other hand, the crisis of Portoyas may also be an opportunity.

For Portoyas now, it is cruel and painful.

But from a historical point of view, it was precisely because of the invasion of the sea people that the iron-making process of forging iron weapons was introduced to Portoyas, allowing Portoyas to transition to the Iron Age before other countries in throes.

Mia's deep eyes fell on Sardis.

And this is one of the most important factors for Sardis to be able to unify the continent in the future and accomplish the great cause of a generation of great emperors.

Not noticing Mia's gaze, Sardis was asking the old blacksmith who sent the sword.

"According to the current scale of the construction site, how many such iron swords can be produced in a day?"

The old blacksmith thought for a while and replied, "No more than five."

Sardis frowned: "It's too slow."

The old man shook his head.

"Forging technology is not simple, it is very time-consuming, there are many steps in the process, and each step is indispensable, and each blacksmith's craftsmanship is different, so there is no guarantee that it will be successful in the end. The five I estimated are already the highest output, Probably not even five."

He thought for a while, and added, "As these people become proficient in their craft, the output will slowly increase."

"Why don't we call more blacksmiths?"

Nadia suggested.

He was impatient, looking at the long sword in Sardis' hands, he wished he could immediately replace the entire army with this kind of iron weapon.

"With more people, won't the production increase?"

"No, most of the blacksmiths with good craftsmanship in Schulte City have already been summoned, and the rest are people with poor craftsmanship. If blacksmiths are summoned to the outside world on a large scale, it is easy to attract the ideas of various forces. We are forging iron The matter of making weapons will soon be exposed."

Antiste shook his head and rejected Nadia's suggestion.

"Moreover, the more people there are, the more difficult it is to monitor, and the more likely the ironmaking technology will be leaked."

The output of iron weapons is too low. With such a low output, it will take a long time to equip the entire army.

If you also want to change the armor from copper to iron, it will take longer

However, Portoyas is now in danger, and the sea people who have invaded one-third of the territory are watching from the south of the Fadagaro River, and they will invade the inland again at some point.

Portoyas didn't have much time to waste.

The training ground, which was filled with excitement and joy just now, suddenly fell silent.

Sardis thought for a while, but couldn't think of a solution, and threw the long sword to Nadia with some annoyance.

"Go back first and build as many weapons as possible."

He gave instructions to the old blacksmith.

The old man lowered his head, responded respectfully, and then turned to leave.

"and many more."

As soon as the old man turned around, he was stopped.

Mia, who was standing by the side of the training ground, stopped him.

Mia has been quietly listening to the conversation among the people since just now. As he listened, a thought came to his mind.

He stopped the old man and asked, "You just said that making an iron sword requires many processes, right?"

"Uh... yes, yes."

The old man replied with a little panic.

The young man smiled slightly.

He said: "Assembly production, understand?"
