Chapter 175: The War King’s Gate (4)
From the next day onward, I frantically scoured every corner of Nine Dragon City.
Finding armor and warhorses for seven hundred warriors was no ordinary task.
Especially warhorses—before the imperial power weakened, acquiring them would have been a crime in itself.

I’d made up my mind, so I had to see it through.
The first place I sought out was Huilong Hall, which operated numerous mines and forges.

“…Well, it wasn’t exactly wrong.”
