Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

The day after Cheng Xiao returned to the Yunqi Army camp, the promised reward and supplies from General Huaiyan were delivered.

Jing Yuan was quite curious about this: "Even General Teng Xiao found it strange that General Huai Yan would provide Luo Fu with 80% more supplies and weapons. Did Uncle-Master do something big again during his trip to Zhu Ming?"

"It's nothing serious, just helping General Huaiyan out."

"Great! I'm going to install two more armor-piercing cannons on the Starship!" Bai Heng didn't think much about it; all she knew was that she could spend money lavishly now.

Jingliu tapped the fox's head: "Your Star Chariot has already been modified beyond recognition. Don't let small things cause you to lose big. Besides, the weapons and equipment are for arming all the Cloud Cavalry, so don't even think about it."

"Sigh~ How could this happen?"

Cheng Xiao seized the opportunity to claim credit: "Actually, General Huaiyan also promised to forge two more powerful weapons for me, so you can switch between them with Jingliu."

Upon hearing this, Jingliu lightly brushed his hair aside, feeling somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.

"They're causing trouble. I'm already eyeing the Frost Sword. Instead of wasting materials, we should exchange them for more supplies."

That's what he said, but Jingliu's eyes were full of anticipation. Just as Huaiyan said, which swordsman isn't a collector?

Danfeng, who was standing to the side, immediately became unhappy.

"What do you mean by that? General Huaiyan has agreed to forge two precious swords for you?"

"Yes, yes."

"What about mine?"

"what?"

Danfeng was furious and grabbed Chengxiao's chest in dissatisfaction.

"To this day, I do not possess a suitable spear; the collection of the Vidyadhara clan cannot withstand my power. Have you never considered asking for a renowned spear for me?"

"Ah! Actually, General Huaiyan wants to forge a sword for me. It's mainly the sword. If I have the chance next time, I will definitely come to ask you for a spear."

Danfeng narrowed his eyes, his face darkening.

"Very well, I'll accept this excuse for now, but you'll have to come to my camp tonight as compensation."

Jingyuan wanted to raise her hand to indicate that she wanted it too, but Jingliu obviously wouldn't indulge her willful behavior.

"Zhu Ming's supplies have arrived. Let's go receive them." Jing Liu received the message, got up, and went out.

However, Cheng Xiao regretted it as soon as he arrived at the port where supplies were being transported.

Because the person Zhu Ming sent to be in charge of the supplies was actually Ying Xing! In addition, there was also a patrolling knight-errant responsible for escorting them.

Seeing Yingxing again just two days later, Cheng Xiao felt somewhat embarrassed and troubled, regretting that he hadn't made things so sentimental back then.

Jingliu was unaware of this. She was supposed to hand over the duties to Yingxing according to military procedures, but she found that Yingxing ignored her and walked directly to Chengxiao.

"Xiao, I've come to see you. Two days have passed, but it feels like three autumns. Have you missed me?"

Mirror Flow: "?"

Jingyuan: "?"

Danfeng: "?"

Bai Heng: "?"

Cheng Xiao: "If time could turn back, I wish I could have another chance."

Aha: "Hahahahahahaha!"

......

"So you are General Huaiyan's esteemed disciple. Please forgive any rudeness I may have displayed."

Jing Liu's words were polite and indifferent, but out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but want to stab Cheng Xiao to death.

Danfeng was even more outrageous; he practically faked a dragon's rage and dragged Chengxiao back.

Bai Heng was carefree, but Jing Yuan was lost in thought.

Yingxing displayed the proper etiquette expected of a general's disciple, and his composure in speech was completely different from what Chengxiao knew.

"Mirror Flow Sword Master, I have long admired your name. As a blacksmith, you are like a close friend. If no one can bring out the sharpness of the famous swords you forge, it would be a waste of resources and a disservice to the masterpiece of a master craftsman."

Yingxing's words were not flattery, but a sincere and earnest praise and appreciation. At this moment, she was like a student who was eager to learn and had come to the vast world to broaden her horizons.

"You flatter me. For a person, the sword is simply the result of the mind following the spirit. To be honest, I am finding myself becoming less and less dependent on the tangible sword. For me, every thought and every branch of my mind is my sword."

Yingxing tilted her head in confusion. She couldn't understand what Jingliu was talking about at all. How could a swordsman kill enemies without a sword? Could one's thoughts really form a sword? That was simply a fantasy.

However, Jingliu's strength was undeniable, and there was some truth to what she said, so Yingxing carefully recorded it.

Half of the supplies Zhu Ming brought were given to Luo Fu, while the other half were to be provided to the patrolling sea knights.

The sought-after sea patrolman was named Tiernan. Jingyuan didn't sense any chivalrous spirit from him; instead, he exuded a sense of gloom and desolation.

Out of curiosity, Jingyuan had some conversations with him.

"The Sea Patrol Knights and the Immortal Ship have a close working relationship, so why go to such lengths? Is there some big plan going on recently?"

"We uphold justice, and naturally there is an evil stirring up the world that requires all the heroes to step forward."

"I see. Then why not seek help from the Celestial Ship?"

"These supplies are the best help the Immortal Ship can offer. You are preoccupied with the invasion of the Abundant People, how can you possibly have the energy to spare for anything else?"

"It's funny, I don't think you're like a sea patrolman at all."

"What do you mean?"

"Because you speak in a rather literary way, hahaha."

Jing Yuan cleverly made a joke. She had secretly gone to interview for the position of the Sea Patrol Knight behind her uncle's back, but she failed. It wasn't because she wasn't good enough, but because she failed the oral exam.

"Alas, I also wish to be like you, to roam the stars and be a chivalrous hero who upholds justice in my heart."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you have this awareness, then no matter what position you hold, you are the embodiment of justice in the hearts of others."

Cheng Xiao overheard their conversation, greeted Jing Liu and Ying Xing, and then approached Tie Ernan.

"Jingyuan, you actually did this behind my back?"

"Uncle-Master! I was just kidding~"

"I'll settle the score with you later."

Then Cheng Xiao looked at Tiernan, a name he was very familiar with.

"You're a member of the [Pioneering] Path, Tiernan, the guard on the Star Train?"

"You know me? How come..."

"I am Cheng Xiao. Your train's think tank should have my information stored in it."

Tiernan scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

"Sorry, I don't usually read think tanks. Only Mikhail likes to read these kinds of written materials."

Cheng Xiao sighed softly, "Alright, then why did you become a sea patrol knight? And what about Falken?"

Ternan lowered the brim of his hat, his tone filled with helplessness and regret.

"Former navigator Falken Amundsen, I also boarded the train when he was alive. There were more than two hundred people on the train at the time, but unfortunately... he died in a rescue operation."

It seemed that Cheng Xiao had started the conversation, and Tiernan unconsciously began to reminisce about the pioneering journey they had taken.

"I come from the border world of Flatti, where the legend is of Oakley, the quick-draw gunman of the Star Train. I got on the train because of her story."

"Looking back now, I realize I've come a long way, seen so many people and things, experienced both joy and sorrow."
