CHAPTER 66: Gu Duxing
“Indeed, it’s in the southeast.” The person in blue was somewhat surprised by the crown prince's reaction; could the military movements from thousands of miles away actually affect Iron Cloud?
“Tomorrow afternoon, have the generals and military ministers come here.” Tie Butian furrowed his brows and said solemnly, “The Great Zhao's mobilization this time is definitely unusual. Order the Butian Intelligence Pavilion to hurry up and collect information on this matter. Once there’s news, send it to Iron Blood urgently!”
“Yes!”
“Send the news to the prince of Iron Dragon City.” Tie Butian added, “Since he has come out, he should know. Although he could know without stepping out, he still has to let me know that he knows.” This sentence was somewhat of a tongue twister, and as he spoke, Tie Butian chuckled to himself.
“Yes.”
A glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the person in blue.
Iron Dragon City is Tie Butian’s uncle; the first prince beneath the emperor of Iron Cloud Nation. But he is not merely a pampered royal prince; he is also a general! A renowned general!
He ranks first on the continental list of renowned generals! Invincible in battle, unassailable in attack! The entire border of Iron Cloud Nation is managed by him like an iron wall! The reason Iron Cloud Nation has been able to hold on for so long, besides Tie Butian's ingenious strategies, is also due to the might of Iron Dragon City and its flying general!
The two of them, one representing civil affairs and the other military, are the greatest weapons to deter Diwu Qingrou!
After the arrangements were complete, Tie Butian waved his hand lightly and said, “You can leave now. Thank you for your hard work.”
“Yes. I take my leave.” The person in blue quietly exited.
“Southeast… Diwu Qingrou, are you starting now?” Tie Butian took a deep breath, finally pulling his thoughts back. At present, there were still matters to handle, especially concerning the Heavenly Weapon Pavilion.
“Heavenly Weapon Pavilion…” Tie Butian pronounced these three words one by one, feeling a surge of heat in his heart. With that person’s abilities, since he had mentioned such matters, it must not be mere words.
What Tie Butian lacks now is divine weapons!
Such weapons may not be of great use to ordinary soldiers or generals, but the Butian Pavilion he established urgently needs these divine weapons!
Because among them, a considerable portion consists of death warriors! Another portion comprises assassins secretly trained by the Iron Cloud royal family for years!
Carrying divine weapons when targeting assassination can significantly increase the success rate! Even if it's just a 10% increase, it’s worth Tie Butian spending a fortune to buy! However, there has never been a channel for such things.
Although the Iron Cloud Nation has many mines, high-level weapons have always been a weakness!
Moreover, such divine weapons have always existed only in legends; no one has ever seen them. Now, someone has actually opened the Heavenly Weapon Pavilion here?
Tie Butian decided that regardless of whether this news is true or false, he would go take a look tomorrow.
Assassins are indeed death warriors!
For a long time, people have confused assassins with killers. But this is a grave mistake. Assassins and killers both aim to kill enemies, but the processes are different.
Once an assassin makes a move, there must be a death result; either they die, the target dies, or they both perish together. Sacrificing their own lives comes before killing the target. Regardless of whether the target lives or dies, the assassin is doomed.
Thus, assassins often infiltrate heavily guarded enemy territories to carry out assassinations. Regardless of success or failure, once they act, they are already on a path to death. Hence, assassins are generally referred to as death warriors!
However, killers differ; they emphasize not being caught in one blow, retreating thousands of miles away, and then slowly searching for opportunities to strike. They prioritize preserving their own lives before killing the enemy. There is a fundamental difference between the two!
