If Heavy Armor was available, Cavalries, Navies, and such were not necessary ... But this was not possible. Heavy Armors were immensely expensive. They burnt up one box of Ziliujin within a few hours, which was the estimated amount that could light the watchtower for two whole years.

Ziliujin was the lifeblood of a nation. One or two gold bricks on the black market might not be enough to afford one or two batches of Ziliujin even with seven or eight parts impurities.

Even a great and powerful nation could only support one branch of their militia fully-equipped with Heavy Armors - for example, the Black Iron Camp led by the Marquis of Order - Gu Yun.

Hence, where did these barbarians obtain so many Heavy Armors?

The dead soldiers had no one to answer them.

The old maid, who just had stumbled out of the Xu family's house, bumped into this group of vicious murderers. She didn't have the chance to make a single sound before she was nailed into the wall.

The savage man drove straight into the inner chamber and shouted: "Hu Ge Er! Hu Ge Er!"

"Hu Ge Er" - Xiu Niang, of course, could no longer answer him.

The carved wooden door was kicked down by the warrior in heavy armor, and the shaft broke apart with a piercing noise, then collapsed completely.

The invincible barbarian's footsteps finally stopped. He stood in front of the entrance of the woman's chamber blankly.

The light smell of smoke had not yet dissipated. The room still only had the slightest bit of light, the long shadow of the tassel hanging on the bed scattered over the ground. The makeup table had been tidied up, and there was a box of lip color still open in the corner...

A teenager was kneeling in front of the bed with his back turned towards him... there also seemed to be a figure of a person lying down.

The teenager — Chang Geng — upon hearing such a big ruckus, instinctively looked back. He saw the group of savage barbarians break into his home in broad daylight, yet he did not feel the slightest hint of shock in his heart. However, he did come to a sudden realization, and could now partially understand why Xiu Niang wanted to die.

These barbarians were able to enter the city; they must have, without a doubt, had relations with Xiu Niang. Xu Baihu was still on the Giant Kite, perhaps because she was in contact with the foreigners, she learned that he had already been killed by barbarians while onboard. She had successfully avenged her country, but she had also indirectly killed the only man who treated her with kindness.

Chang Geng looked at the barbarians with indifference, then turned back and bowed to the woman on the bed, expressed his gratitude for not killing him all these years, then completely severed any ties with the deceased.
