Chapter 2625: Chapter 61: Black Horn Barbarian Armor (Part 3)

”All manpower and resources can be provided to you. Make sure to forge more Black Horn Barbarian Armor in the shortest time possible.”

”Yes!”

Elder Jiao Hu, full of loyalty, departed.

Mo Hua gently sighed in relief, finally resolving one issue.

If he doesn’t intervene, then for Wu Sha and the others to win battles, they can only rely on the Barbarian Armor. Even if there are only one or two sets of Second Grade Barbarian Armor, giving them to Wu Sha, a few high-caliber fighters can secure a strong enough advantage in the conquest within the Second Grade Mountain Realm.

The more Barbarian Armor, the stronger the combat power, and the higher the chances of victory.

And Elder Jiao Hu, although not necessarily loyal to him, was extremely loyal to the Black Horn Tribe.

As long as the future of the Black Horn Tribe is aligned with his grand plan, he will naturally do his utmost to forge the Barbarian Armor.

But there was one thing Mo Hua did not expect.

Although Elder Jiao Hu was loyal, and devoted all his thoughts to forging the Barbarian Armor.

His understanding, however, was not very high.

His skill in Artifact Refining was indeed somewhat behind.

As a result, the progress of armor forging and the quality of the output were not as expected.

Either the output of armor was slow, or there were flaws, making the forged Barbarian Armor easily damaged.

Mo Hua had no choice but to give the ”Sword Bone” to Elder Jiao Hu after much thought.

Elder Jiao Hu, looking at the foreboding white bone broken sword before him, felt a chill in his heart:

”Lord Shaman, this is...”

”This is...” Mo Hua was slightly dazed, contemplating for a moment before speaking solemnly, ”This is a very powerful Sword Dao Demon Venerable, who used his sword to merge with the Dao and became a Fallen Demon, later suppressed and subdued by the Divine Lord, sealed within this white bone broken sword...”

”You can inquire it about Artifact Refining and armor forging matters.”

Inside the white bone broken sword, the ”Sword Demon” Sword Bone had mixed feelings.

”A very powerful Sword Dao Demon Venerable”... is that referring to me?

It was unclear whether Mo Hua was complimenting it or mocking it.

Clearly, in front of Mo Hua, it was just a lackey.

Usually, only when Mo Hua wanted to devour a Barbarian God or actively invade an altar, would it be made to pave the way, lead the path, or watch the door.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t even dare to breathe loudly, fearing that its presence might remind Mo Hua to stuff it in his teeth when hungry...

Elder Jiao Hu, however, knew none of these details.

Overwhelmed with fear, he solemnly accepted the white bone broken sword with both hands, carefully perceiving it, indeed feeling a ”powerful” evil demon aura within, and thus becoming increasingly reverent to the Lord Shaman and the Divine Lord.

”The old servant will certainly live up to the task entrusted by the Lord Shaman and not fail the Divine Lord’s grace.”

Mo Hua temporarily gave the Sword Bone to Elder Jiao Hu.

In life, Sword Bone was the Sword Casting Elder of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, and before that, an Artifact Refining disciple of the Tai’a Sect.

Its expertise in Artifact Refining was indeed profound.

Moreover, in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, there were mostly monster cultivators, surely involving many monster beast materials in Artifact Refining.

Having Sword Bone guide Elder Jiao Hu in forging Barbarian Armor should be more than adequate.

It was also a way to let it exert some residual brilliance and heat.

And the commands of Mo Hua could not be neglected by Sword Bone.

Thus, in the mountain cave chamber of the Black Horn Tribe, a Barbarian Elder of the Black Horn Tribe and a Sword Demon residing within a white bone broken sword began to indulge in the Dao of Artifact Refining, studying the methods of forging Great Wilderness Barbarian Armor.

And with the guidance of Sword Bone, this powerful Sword Dao Demon Venerable, Elder Jiao Hu’s craftsmanship in forging Barbarian Armor steadily improved.

The forging process of Barbarian Armor also became increasingly smooth.

More and more Black Horn Barbarian Armor was being forged.

Mo Hua then attempted to have Chieftain Wu Sha of the Wulu Tribe and some Foundation Establishment Elders of the Wulu Tribe, donned in these Black Horn Barbarian Armor, to ”conquer” various fronts for him.

If they occupy new tribes, they must not massacre indiscriminately. But the Wulu Tribe Barbarian Cultivators who participate in the conquest can be awarded some extra loot.

Of course, the best ”reward” was still the Black Horn Barbarian Armor.

Rewards were necessary.

Wu Sha, in particular, was like a wild wolf; he needed to be fed ”meat” to do the work.

The Wulu Tribe was the same. In fact, not just the Wulu Tribe, but most Barbarian Tribes shared this nature.

What Wu Sha said earlier was also right; having them occupy tribes without allowing them to pillage and yet not providing them with any benefits was indeed not sustainable for long.

By the title and authority of the ”Shaman,” it might be suppressed for a time, but not for eternity.

If they were not given something to feed on, any misstep during conquest could lead to rebellion and backlash from these tribes.

But continually feeding them like this wouldn’t work either.

Wolves, in the end, are never truly tame.

Driven by profit—when there is profit, they stay calm; when the profit is lost, chaos ensues.

Building achievements solely on personal gain is prone to collapse quickly.

Therefore, the problem must be solved fundamentally.

A group of children who truly have a Taoist Heart, vision, and ambition must be cultivated from a young age. As they grow and mature, they will govern the Barbaric Wilderness, fundamentally changing the overarching landscape from the ground up.

The more such children there are, the greater the influence on the Barbaric Wilderness, and the stronger the power of change.

Of course, this is a rather lengthy process.

It takes ten years to grow a tree, and a hundred years to nurture a man.

We must not refrain from doing it because it’s slow to see results.

Quick results often only address the symptoms. Slow outcomes tackle the root causes.

And this was also what Mo Hua deemed most crucial when he retired to ”operate behind the scenes” and manipulate the overall situation.

From that point onwards, the task of forging Barbarian Armor was entrusted to Elder Jiao Hu by Mo Hua.

The external conquests were entrusted to Wu Sha by Mo Hua.

Most of Mo Hua’s time was spent ”teaching and instructing,” imparting Tao Cultivation and skills, and cultivating and solidifying the hearts of these children of the Barbaric Wilderness.

This was the principle he had comprehended through the influence of Instructor Yan, Mr. Zhuang, and Elder Master Xun from the Taixu Gate.

The Great Dao is like water, flowing without decay.

Real knowledge, learning, and truth should be passed on to more people.

Previously, others taught him, and he called them ”Gentleman.”

Now it was him teaching others, and others called him ”Gentleman.”

When Wu Sha launched his campaign, Mo Hua gave him a strict order:

Do not kill children.

Not only must they not be killed, but all the children from the tribes must be brought back and handed over to him.

Thus, with Wu Sha, clad in Black Horn Barbarian Armor on campaigns, continually expanding within the Second Grade Black Horn Mountain Realm and attacking one tribe after another.

The number of children under Mo Hua also grew increasingly larger.

The number of people who addressed him as ”Gentleman” also grew increasingly larger...
