Chapter 483

Lord Guchen continued to elaborate: "Ningguang, you might not know this. Yashiori Island is actually the primary source of crystal marrow. The Inazuma Shogunate needs this crystal marrow above all else to forge swords and weapons within the Mikage Furnace; it is their most crucial raw material for manufacturing. This means that if we station our troops on Yashiori Island, we can effectively choke off the Inazuma Shogunate's access to raw materials. With their raw materials under our control, Inazuma's most vital forging industry will naturally be curbed as well. Look at it this way: without needing to station ourselves in Tatarasuna, and without having to worry about sparking major conflicts with the main Shogunate Army, we can still rein in Inazuma's most critical forging industry. Isn't this a brilliant strategy?" Ningguang nearly clapped her hands in delight: "Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!" For a moment, the two of them locked eyes and broke into matching smiles. In such a dim and gloomy environment, the pair laughing in this dark manner made the atmosphere quite eerie. At the very least, Paimon, who had been listening quietly on the sidelines, felt a chill run down her spine as she watched the scene and heard their laughter.
