Chapter 417: Chapter 275 Military Armament Department

This situation gave several little monsters a sudden sense of immense pride, each one standing tall with chests puffed out.

It was just a pity that they were somewhat small in stature, and hardly any monsters took notice of their presence.

"To establish such a grand city in such a short time is indeed awe-inspiring!" remarked the Green Ox Demon as he walked among the crowd.

He had never imagined that the Demon Clan could still unleash such formidable power.

After all, he was a figure who had lived from ancient times to the present, witnessing the history of the monster race, as well as their downfall.

Because of this, he had grown disillusioned and stopped concerning himself with the affairs of the Demon Clan, devoting himself to serving the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord.

However, today he discovered that the current Demon Clan had already undergone a transformation, with a vigorous vitality blooming within this ancient race, inciting an exhilarating emotion in any onlooker.

"It’s all thanks to the Demon Master’s planning, every brick and tile here is imbued with his dedication," Lin Fang touched a nearby wall.

The bricks and stones were dotted with starry lights, mysterious and enchanting. Lin Fang could feel that every corner of the city was part of a huge Array, and this was not just a city, but also a growing Magical Treasure with terrifying potential.

"It’s just a shame that the Demon Master is now preoccupied with affairs in Luzhou in the North and has no time to come and see the city he built with his own hands," Lin Fang sighed.

What’s so great about fighting and killing? Wouldn’t it be better if everyone developed peacefully together?

Perhaps this was also why others were Masters of the Three Realms, while he was just a salted fish.

The crowd followed the main road and soon arrived at a heavily guarded place with three large characters above the gate: Military Armament Department.

Inside, one could faintly hear the hammering sounds, and Lin Fang said with a smile, "The Military Armament Department is finally shaping up, but it still has a long way to go to catch up with the Heavenly Forge Bureau."

The monsters guarding the Military Armament Department were very respectful upon seeing Lin Fang, saluting before opening the gates.

Lin Fang led the people into this military hub, where inside the high walls there was a scene of bustling activity, with the noise of countless voices mingling in the air.

The hammer striking the weapons released dazzling sparks, each monster engrossed in their work, not even noticing Lin Fang and his companions’ arrival.

Lin Fang curiously surveyed his surroundings. Having never returned here since he first visited and talked nonsense, he was now impressed by the incredible objects these folks seemed to have created according to his earlier ramblings.

He gently picked up a square box adorned with mysterious runes, feeling the terrifying power contained within.

"What is this?" Lin Fang asked, intrigued.

The busy monster beside him seemed not to hear Lin Fang’s question, not even lifting his head.

"I asked you, what is this?" Lin Fang had no choice but to raise his voice.

"What’s all the fuss? Don’t you know I’m busy!" the working monster shouted back irritably, hopping up and down.

Upon recognizing the visitor as Lin Fang, the angry expression on his face vanished without a trace, smilingly he said, "So it’s Mr. Lin who has come."

Then, sizing up the box in Lin Fang’s hand with some surprise, he asked, "Isn’t this the grenade you mentioned before?"

"A grenade? This?" Lin Fang, clutching the square box in his hand, said in disbelief.

How could this thing look like a grenade? What on earth had these guys created? He suddenly regretted mentioning those things.

"That’s right, this is made exactly according to what you described, sir. You throw it, and it explodes with tremendous force, it’s simple to use," the monster stated matter-of-factly.

Lin Fang took another look at the strange form of the grenade in his hand and finally sighed, "Alright, if you say it’s a grenade, then it’s a grenade."

"What else have you made?"

"We’ve also made the mortar you talked about," the monster said proudly.

"Brothers, Mr. Lin is here." A loud shout, and all the monsters stopped their work, turning towards Lin Fang.

"Mr. Lin is here, help me see what’s wrong here, why I can’t seem to get the desired effect," they clamored in a cacophony of voices, all wanting Lin Fang to take a look for them. In an instant, the whole Military Armament Department turned into a hubbub, a scene of lively commotion.

The rest of the people had never seen such a spectacle and stood with their mouths agape, not knowing what to do.

"Silence!" A furious roar echoed, and the excited monsters instantly fell silent.

Everyone looked towards the source of the voice, only to see the Iron Demon glaring at them furiously and saying, "My lord has a body worth its weight in gold, stand back from him. Moreover, if you have questions, you should ask them one by one, not in such disorder."

As the current head of the Military Armament Department, the Iron Demon naturally commanded the respect to chastise the crowd. With his deep understanding of both forging and the Way of Runes, he was considered a teacher by most people there and was genuinely respected and obeyed.

After scolding the crowd, the Iron Demon turned to Lin Fang with a smile and said, "Lord, how come you didn’t inform me before coming here?"

If it wasn’t for Ghost Spider following Feng Jiu to Luzhou in the North, he would have been shocked to see his usually impassive friend in such a nearly sycophantic state.

"You’re so busy, how could I presume to disturb you?"

The two chatted casually on the side, and the Iron Demon took the opportunity to ask his own questions, to which Lin Fang patiently responded.

"Right, we need to speed up military preparations, the war between the Heavenly Court and the Demon Clan has started. We need to prepare a large number of weapons to support the effort; let’s have everyone work a bit harder during this time," Lin Fang said.

"Rest assured, lord, we understand the importance of the matter. Ever since we received the news, we’ve been working day and night. We’ve already rushed out a batch of weapons, enough to last the front-line soldiers for a while," the Iron Demon confidently stated.

In the Demon Realm, where they were undisturbed by the outside world, they could focus on what they wanted to do in a relatively free atmosphere. This greatly motivated their initiative, making them work with twelve times the enthusiasm. With Lin Fang broadening their horizons, a range of new-style weapons continuously came out of the Military Armament Department during this period.

Many weapons were prepared to be tested in the upcoming great war, to see their effects.

"Good to have confidence. I’ll transport the weapons you’ve crafted to His Majesty right now; the front-line is waiting for this batch of weapons to address an urgent need," Lin Fang said with a pat on the Iron Demon’s hand.
