Sorcery Monarch Part 2

Chapter 244: Small Adamantine Vein?

Adamantine is as valuable as Mithril.

Each gram is worth 10 gold coins!

Whether for armor or weapons, adding just a bit of Adamantine significantly increases hardness and defense.

Its value also doubles!

Most Adamantine weapons and armor only contain less than 100 grams of Adamantine.

400 kilograms exceeded the Netheril Empire's 10-year production.

This made Copperbeard's seemingly sly demand quite "greedy."

However, as Copperbeard grew nervous, Matthew smiled and nodded in agreement:

"I'll give you 3 kilograms, but you must not only provide the smelting method, but also personally train ten apprentices."

Before Copperbeard could show his excitement, Matthew beckoned Yaya over.

Under Copperbeard's horrified gaze, Yaya reached out and easily dug out a large chunk of the extremely sturdy Adamantine ore.

Copperbeard couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and the greed in his mind disappeared without a trace as he hurriedly pounded his chest and promised:

"No problem at all! Leave it to me, and I'll even teach them blacksmithing... Ah..."

Before Copperbeard could finish, Yaya grabbed him again, and to his terrified screams, flew back toward the troll castle.

As for this location, aside from the kobolds sneaking over to mine, no one else would know about it.

Despite the high value of this batch of Adamantine, Matthew wouldn't sell it.

This type of strategic-level scarce resource usually required a hefty premium to purchase.

Additionally, such wealth would easily attract the attention of others.

If Copperbeard hadn't been smart, Matthew wouldn't have minded letting him stay in the Bay Territory for a few more years.

After all, dwarves live long!

With this batch of Adamantine, Matthew could craft better weapons and equipment for the Bay Territory's high-ranking professionals.

Maintaining a technological advantage in weapons and equipment would further improve the combat power of Bay Territory soldiers.

Of course, no one but the users would know the secrets hidden in their weapons and equipment.

Just like all the other secrets of the Bay Territory!

"Transport these trolls in batches and send someone to bring more crossbow bolts and alchemical oil."

Angela began organizing the defense while also managing the supplies.

Watching the city walls gradually being repaired and reinforced, a trace of worry still lingered in her eyes.

The troll castle's location was excellent, with steep slopes on both sides, making it difficult for enemies to launch a large-scale attack.

To the south lay the troll valley, now mostly occupied by the Bay Territory.

The city gate was strong, and the walls were high, making it relatively secure.

The only issue was the north, which had fallen into disrepair, but the Bay Territory had prepared in advance. After capturing the castle, they had 5,000 kobolds from the pit quickly rush to the site.

They were repairing the foundations of the city walls as fast as possible, followed by raising and reinforcing them.

They weren't neglecting the outer perimeter of the walls either.

A wide moat was already beginning to take shape.

Based on the design of the Murloc Castle, they would also build projecting bastions and tall watchtowers for multi-directional defense.

The castle's defense issues would be further addressed and strengthened over the next few days.

The only thing that worried Angela was the size of the troll castle.

Even with half of the 2,000 soldiers stationed on the northern wall, it felt a bit sparse.

If the Gurubashi troll tribe sent too many troll soldiers, it would be hard for the troops to defend.

Matthew was well aware of her concerns. Before initiating the plan, they hadn't discussed this far ahead.

Of course, no one had expected the plan to go so smoothly!

However, a tough battle still awaited them!
