Legendary Armament Canon Novel - Chapter 447

“Your Highness, this cave is much larger than I imagined.”

In the karst cave that they entered through the lake, Meng Bai, Wang Mu, Tang Chengshi, Bai Qiancheng, Cao Chenyang, Zhang Wuyuan, and the other generals sat together.

The conditions in the cave were simple. There was not even a chair, so everyone sat cross-legged on the ground, looking a little miserable.

But everyone was very excited.

After eating and sleeping, everyone explored the cave.

Although Zhou Shu knew of the existence of this karst cave, he wasn’t too sure how big it was.

Back then, the Great Demon Yao Lian had discovered this place by chance, but he didn’t explore the safety of this place.

From this hall, there were many passages extending in all directions. The 30,000 people of the Ten Nations Alliance carefully explored these passages. They didn’t encounter any danger, but they hadn’t figured out how big the cave was.

After searching a whole day, they found that the tunnels in the karst cave were complicated and extended widely. This was a good thing for the Ten Nations Alliance.

If they were really discovered by the Demon Realm army, all they had to do was dive into the passageways, and it wouldn’t be so easy for the Demon Realm army to catch up to them.

“The bigger, the better.” Zhou Shu smiled. “For a long time to come, this place might be our base. If the place is small, we won’t be able to move around.”

“Your Highness, you are right.” Wang Mu nodded. “There are many passageways here. We can design checkpoints according to the terrain. Even if the Demon World army attacks us here in the future, we can still defeat them!”

“We can’t be too optimistic either,” Cao Chenyang said. He had hidden in the Demon Realm for ten years and knew the strength of the Demon Realm very well.

“It’s fine if it’s low-level demonic beasts, but it won’t be so easy to resist high-level demonic beasts. If it’s a Great Demon or even a Demon King, this karst cave won’t be able to withstand it at all,” Cao Chenyang said seriously.

“Everyone has a point.” Zhou Shu smiled. “If the Demon Realm army really attacks this place, the situation will already be at its worst.

“I don’t think the Demon Kings and Great Demons will notice so few of us.

“For now, let’s develop slowly. It’s not good to make too much noise for now.”

Thirty thousand people was a drop in the bucket for the huge Demon Realm.

Development secretly was the right choice for them.

“But we can’t do nothing either,” Zhou Shu continued. “In my opinion, in the future, we should take turns to distract the Demon Realm. It’s best to ambush their cities and tribes. This requires all the generals to plan together. I’m not good at war.”

“I have a suggestion,” Cao Chenyang said. “The most important thing now is to find a way to draw a map of the surrounding area. It’s best to determine which demon forces are around the area.”

Everyone nodded. This was indeed something that should be resolved first.

Bai Qiancheng pondered and said, “How about this? Let the army continue exploring the karst cave while the first-rank martial artists will leave the cave to check the situation nearby.

“If we really encounter the enemy, our chances of escaping are higher. However, we have to be careful not to let the enemy discover this place.”

They all agreed, and they went back to discussing the specific plan of action.

Zhou Shu listened for a while and felt that he could leave these matters to them. These people were all famous generals of the various nations, and they could completely handle such a small matter.

He walked away unhurriedly to the place where Yao Lian had stored his supplies.

The place was a stone chamber separated by a short passage from the great hall.

The supplies stored here had already been exhausted by the 30,000-strong army, and this place was used as a storeroom by Zhou Shu.

The forging materials the army had brought over from the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space had already been placed here.

Deputy Pavilion Master Shi Songtao was busy taking inventory of the forging materials.

“Pavilion Master.” Seeing Zhou Shu enter, Shi Songtao looked up from his forging materials and greeted him.

“How’s the sorting going?” Looking at the room full of forging materials, Zhou Shu had the mentality of a landlord inspecting a warehouse. He felt very comfortable. These were all his belongings.

“The forging materials everyone placed in the Cosmic Bangles have already been poured out. However, less than ten percent of the forging materials the soldiers carried are left.” Shi Songtao’s heart ached.

Along the way, there had been many battles. Even two-thirds of the soldiers had died. It was already fortunate that they still had forging materials.

Zhou Shu knew that he couldn’t expect too much. “We still have some left. We’re going to take root in the Demon Realm. These forging materials are our capital.

“There aren’t many weapons left intact. Next, we’ll have to equip everyone again. Forging is a skill of our Huaxia Pavilion. We can’t slack off when it comes to weapons.

“Are the forging materials enough?”

“We have a total of over ten million million kilograms of various forging materials. It’s more than enough to supply standard weapons, but if it’s ranked weapons…” Shi Songtao said. “We don’t have enough Heaven Refining Stones.”

Heaven Refining Stone was a necessity for ranked weapons.

In the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space, there were many ore mines for forging materials. Some of them were even as precious as Heaven Refining Stone, but there were no Heaven Refining Stone mines.
