Chapter 313: Chapter 130 Monster Wailing Blade! Forging Monster Soldiers!_2
Not only was this rugged and burly man extraordinary, but so were all the others near the carriage.
Even in the distant dense forest, Su Changkong could feel sharp gazes. This seemingly casual place concealed so many elite fighters?
âMa Hong, the master blacksmith your leader asked for, Iâve brought him,â
Chai Zheng said indifferently to the rugged and burly man.
âHuh? This kid is a forge master? So young?â
The man known as Ma Hong was quite surprised when he looked at Su Changkong, this handsome and simple-looking young man.
âYes, heâs called Su Tailai, the most outstanding forge master in the Casting Department, with extraordinary skills,â Chai Zheng nodded affirmatively. He had been surprised by Su Changkongâs youth as well, but Geng Zheng, the manager of the Casting Department and a professional, had praised him highly, confirming he wasnât mistaken.
Ma Hong nodded upon hearing this, âThen I thank you, Lord Chai Zheng, for your help!â
Chai Zheng, however, asked in return, âWhat kind of weapon does your leader want to forge that he needs me to personally find a master blacksmith from the Casting Department?â
âHow would I know something concerning our leader?â Ma Hong said with a slight smile, but did not answer. Chai Zheng frowned slightly but did not press further.
âWho is their leader?â Su Changkong was somewhat astonished. Ma Hongâs strength was extraordinary, and as for Chai Zheng, he was even one of the Deputy Commanders of the Dafeng Iron Cavalry, with very few as his equal in strength and status. The leader he mentioned must be extraordinary to be able to command a person like Chai Zheng!
Chai Zheng said, âThen give my regards to your leader for meâI wonât come in and sit, Iâll be heading back now.â
âLord Chai, safe travels!â Ma Hong did not try to retain him, aware that Chai Zhengâs identity was sensitive, and it was best for fewer people to know.
âCould it beâŠâ
Su Changkong had a vague realization. Ma Hong and his companions were burly and did not seem like good people, and they were hidden in this barren forest valley as if to avoid the light. Could these people be part of the rebel forces?
In Dafeng State City, things were not peaceful, not only guarding against the attacks of the Ferocious Wolf Clan but also dealing with rampant rebel forces within the state.
These rebel forces did not submit to the rule of the Great Flame Empire, constantly stirring trouble in the dark, and one of the main tasks of the Dafeng Iron Cavalry was to suppress the rebels!
Huangfu Honglang, who was dealt with earlier, was implicated with the rebels, leading the entire Iron Sword Sect to be taken down by the Dafeng Iron Cavalry.
Now coming to this place, with Ma Hong at the helm, each one was a capable fighter. Coupled with the many watchful eyes and guards hidden in the dark, it was not difficult to guess their identity!
The corners of Su Changkongâs mouth twitched slightly, as he roughly understood. Those in need of a master blacksmith werenât from the military side of the Dafeng Iron Cavalry, but the rebels!
What kind of divine weapon did this group of rebelsâ leader want to create that required a master in forging?
Chai Zheng, the Deputy Commander of the Forest Frag Camp of the Dafeng Iron Cavalry, was likely colluding with the rebels or might even be an undercover operative planted by the rebels within the Dafeng Iron Cavalry!
Chai Zheng glanced sideways at Su Changkong, who looked completely bewildered, and said indifferently, âJust do as they say, and when the job is done, Iâll come to get you.â
âYoung man, follow us. Donât worry, we wonât eat you.â
Ma Hong, the rugged and sturdy man, looked at Su Changkong with a smile and spoke.
âJust leave by starting a fightâŠâ
Su Changkongâs thoughts raced, but he quickly dismissed the idea.
Ma Hong alone, with that rich Qi and Blood in his body, was most likely a high-level martial artist in the Qi-Blood Long Dragon realm. Not to mention his other companions, and the martial artists hidden in the shadows and vigilantly observing the area, even Chai Zheng himself was not an easy opponent!
As Deputy Commander of the Forest Frag Camp, Chai Zheng was ranked within the top ten in the entire Dafeng Iron Cavalry, most likely even stronger than Mu Jin, or perhaps even above him!
At that moment, everyoneâs attention was on Su Changkong. Even if he suddenly attacked, he might catch them off guard, but it was uncertain whether he could escape unscathed, especially when there was still an inscrutable âleaderâ they mentioned in the mix!
âMy advantage is the strength I have concealed, and since their leader needs me to craft something, they wonât harm me before that. Itâs better to figure out these peopleâs details first,â Su Changkong thought quickly.
Escaping by fighting was too risky!
It would be better to understand the situation before making other plans. Also, fury swelled in Su Changkongâs heartâChai Zheng had sold him out!
In the Casting Department, Su Changkong was known as a âmasterâ with superb forging skills, but in Chai Zhengâs eyes, he was just an item to be traded, not taken seriously at all. If Ma Hong and his leader needed a master blacksmith, then Chai Zheng simply brought Su Changkong to them, giving them a favor.
And what if a blacksmith disappeared from the Casting Department? It was a trivial matter, and even if someone in the Casting Department asked Chai Zheng about Su Changkongâs whereabouts, Chai Zheng could easily brush it off with any excuse!
Superficially, Su Changkong put on a particularly timid face and said softly to Chai Zheng, âDeputy Commander Chai Zheng⊠you must come back for me!â
âDonât worry, I will,â Chai Zheng said nonchalantly.
Afterward, Ma Hong and his companions turned away, and Su Changkong hesitantly followed.
As Su Changkongâs disappearing figure faded away, Chai Zheng let the carriage curtain fall and instructed the coachman, âFirst, take a trip to Backwind Town. Enjoy a few days of sightseeing, then return to Feng State City.â
âYes,â
The coachman replied, driving the carriage carrying Chai Zheng away from the place.
