Bronze door through time and space

Chapter 493: There is no Princess in the World Who is Years Old
Yan Xu had someone deliver a katana, which was a standard weapon mass-produced by the Moroboshi family. The details were not very well handled, after all, the goal was to produce in large quantities, but the fairly good steel quality and the way the broad blade was polished made the knife very sharp, and it could easily cut through flesh, the kind that a slight scratch would reveal the bone, and the bleeding alone could be lethal, but the armor-piercing effect was not very good, and the blade was prone to chipping.

Of course, the katana itself is not positioned as a primary weapon. Firearms take priority on the battlefield, followed by spears. Swords will only be drawn out when they have no other choice but to fight to the death.

However, the suppression of firearms in this world is higher than Yan Xu imagined, and they cannot be used on a large scale. In addition, as pioneer explorers, light swords are more convenient than spears, so most samurai will choose a katana or a katana as weapons.

But the problem still exists. Even the heavier and more lethal sword does not have much armor-piercing effect. According to Andre's description, the black orcs are about two meters tall, with thicker bones and more developed muscles than humans. Even well-trained knights cannot confront the brute force of the black orcs head-on and can only rely on skills to kill them.

Yan Xu frowned. If Andre was not lying, then the fighting power of the black orcs was indeed a little beyond his expectations. Even if they did not have decent weapons, they could beat the Japanese warriors all over the ground like playing whack-a-mole with just wooden sticks.

But it doesn't matter. The Japanese warriors are eager to gain rewards through war, and Yan Xu is just satisfying their needs. As long as they have enough military achievements, they can have as much land as they want in this vast land.

Andre had already found out the way from the caravan, so he led the way. However, since they had never been there before, the road seemed a bit off the beaten track.

Fu Ji rubbed the hilt of the knife, her sword-like eyebrows slightly raised, as if the blade was raised but could fall at any time, making Andre, who was holding the map he had searched from the caravan, sweat profusely.

"Found it. We are now in the Beast Foot Forest. If we just turn a corner and walk a little in this direction, we will reach the Low Hill Ridge!" Andre said quickly with a long sigh of relief. Fu Ji then let go of the knife handle with some regret, but turned around to look at the dense forest behind her before leaving.

"Is there something in the forest?" Yan Xu, who was busy trying various things, raised his head and looked at the forest beside him, and said after a moment.

"Don't worry, if you dare to come out, I will kill you."

"Hi." Fu Ji nodded and asked the soldiers to speed up their march.

The Low Hills are the territory of the dwarves. These dwarves are not as short as imagined. They are about the same height as the civilians in Japan, about 1.4 meters tall, but they weigh three or four times more than humans of the same height. This is because their skeletons are very strong and their bodies are covered with large muscles. They look like logs formed by muscles. They are one of the few races that can rival the orcs in strength.

In addition to their strength, dwarves are also famous for their construction and forging. On this continent, except for the elves, almost all large buildings of other races have dwarves, and 80% of the famous weapons and equipment are made by dwarves.

The amazing strength and sophisticated equipment allow the dwarves to protect this enormous wealth. However, in order to avoid trouble, the dwarves will still stay away from the most greedy race on the entire continent, that is, humans, and build tall and majestic buildings to isolate the greedy people with ulterior motives.

But dwarves also need to communicate with the outside world, such as food, wine, cloth, etc., which can only be brought by caravans.

However, Yan Xu and his group of hundreds of people, all carrying weapons and equipped with armor, said that they were a caravan, and even the stone-headed dwarves would not believe it, so their current identity was mercenaries. "The Great Snake Mercenary Group from the Japanese islands came here at the request of the Silver-haired Princess and is willing to contribute to the cause of restoring the country!" Andre puffed up his chest and shouted loudly to the 15-meter-high rock wall.

On the high city wall, the short and strong dwarf wore heavy armor, holding a battle axe in one hand and a large shield in the other. He was as cold and ruthless as a thorny rock, but when he heard the silver-haired princess, he suddenly showed a strange expression.

"Only three people are allowed in." A dwarf with armor inlaid with gold edges spoke after a moment's silence. Then six shirtless dwarves plucked up their muscles as strong as mountains, groaned, and pushed the heavy winch with all their strength to open the iron-clad gate and the iron gate one by one. Then, under the supervision of the dwarf holding a heavy crossbow, Yan Xu took Fu Ji and Andre into the Short Hill City.

Short Hill Ridge is Short Hill City. These dwarves carved out a mountain and built a city. The city is full of large rocks and armored dwarves that could cause fractures to ordinary people if they were touched.

This is no joke. Dwarves use weapons as skewers and wear armor as casual clothes. In addition, they are too strong, so if ordinary people collide with them, the chances of breaking bones are very high.

The dwarves do not like humans. The tall Andre does not like them, the hairless Yan Xu does not like them, and the too thin Fu Ji does not like them. But as long as the silver-haired princess is mentioned, these dwarves, whose expressions cannot be seen at all because of their overgrown hair and beards, will always raise their hands to show them the way. It is obvious that the other party is a celebrity here.

"Of course. The Silver-haired Princess is not only a princess, but also a legend. She left the kingdom at the age of thirty and traveled for twenty years, leaving behind countless legendary stories. Later, she stayed in the dwarf dungeon for ten years to learn forging. She is a famous forging master. If the kingdom had not fallen, I'm afraid she could have made further progress." Speaking of the Silver-haired Princess, Andre said with great interest.

Yan Xu nodded when he heard that, then snapped his fingers. Fu Ji drew her sword instantly, and the blade appeared on Andre's neck in the blink of an eye. He was interrupted halfway through his words and almost suffocated to death.

"According to what you said, this princess went out traveling at the age of thirty. After traveling for thirty years, she was busy for the restoration of the country for another ten years, a total of seventy years. No wonder she is called the Silver-haired Princess. But at this age, she doesn't find a place to retire and wants to restore the country? You are fooling me! So have you thought about how to die?" Yan Xu was almost laughing out of anger. He had only heard of princes who lived for seventy years, but had never heard of princesses who lived for seventy years.

"No, no, the silver-haired princess is a half-elf, and she just reached adulthood at the age of seventy!" Andre said hurriedly after realizing the problem.

"Really? Then let him go first. If you find out he is lying, just kill him." Yan Xu waved his hand, asking Fu Ji to put away the knife, then gave Andre a warning look, making him want to cry but unable to. But who could he do that since he couldn't beat the other party.

Did Yan Xu really not expect this? Of course he had some guesses, but this guy was a little bit arrogant after arriving in Short Hill City, so he just gave him a warning.

However, he was also very interested in the seventy-year-old princess. After all, she was an elf, even if she was only a half-elf, and he could not hide his curiosity. He was especially interested in the elf's long ears, and he always had the urge to bite them a few times.
