Chapter 786: Chapter 447 There’s an Ambush! _3
“Eh, where are you going?” Negris asked.
“Iron Sand City.” Ange replied.
“Why are you following? We have a pile of things to do here.” Negris asked, puzzled.
“If I don’t go, they… won’t obey.” Ange said.
“Ah? Can’t he control them? Can’t you just give another command?” Negris said.
Ange shook his head: “The scepter is extinguished.”
In Captain Neiwen’s Silver Scepter, the Soul Node was shattered by Ange. If Ange did not follow, these Skeleton Zombies would stop in the middle of their journey, then be confused: what am I doing here…. in the end, they would turn around and come back.
Negris was overjoyed and quickly followed. It was rare for Ange to leave his vegetable field, and no matter what it was for, he was happy to do so.
The others naturally did not lag behind. Anyway, the rapeseed cakes had already been made in advance, enough for everyone to eat for a month. The main problem with the Rapids Fortress is the food issue. As long as there is no problem with the food, the order will not collapse.
Iron Sand City was fifty kilometers away from the Rapids Fortress. Even with the tireless pace of the undead, they wouldn’t arrive until midnight, and this was because Captain Neiwen was leading the way.
Of the five Bone Dragons that came to transfer troops, only Neiwen was left leading the way, the rest had already returned ahead of time.
Neiwen rode the Bone Dragon, flying at the forefront of the tide of undead. The Bone Dragon underneath him made an occasional long soul call, urging all the undead to speed up.
Everyone started running, covering a hundred miles a day.
As they slowly approached Iron Sand City, Durken suddenly stopped, scooped up a handful of black and gray sand from the ground, rubbed it in his palm, and said: “I know why this place is called Iron Sand City, the soil here has a high iron content, there’s a rich iron mine here.”

Negris leaned his head over to take a look: “How do you know? You can tell that the soil has a high iron content just by touching it?”
“Of course.” Durken said confidently, pulling out the Gold-touch stick and touching the iron sand in the palm of his hand.
The iron sand quickly melted into a liquid, the impurities precipitated out, and the remaining liquid rolled into a drop, condensing into a silver-grey iron bead.
Negris tugged Ange and asked, “What’s the weight of the impurities and the iron bead?”
“Six grams, four grams.” Ange responded.
“An iron content of forty percent? That’s pretty high, but it’s a pity it’s iron. If it was Fine Gold Mithril, we’d be rich.” Negris regretted.
Durken and Silver Coin exchanged a look, their expressions strange.
Seeing their expressions, Negris immediately realized that he had probably made a common sense error again, and hastily asked: “Did I say something wrong?”
“Not exactly wrong.” Silver Coin said: “A ton of Fine Gold Mithril is certainly more valuable than a ton of iron, but if it’s a billion tons, you definitely want the iron mine.”
“When there’s too much Fine Gold Mithril, it becomes meaningless. It can refine gold and boosts enchantment, but iron is the foundation. Without iron, you don’t know where to attach the Fine Gold Mithril.” Durken said.
Negris got it: “So you’re saying, this iron mine is more valuable than a Mithril mine?”
Durken nodded: “With high-grade iron ore, there must be a high level of metallurgical industry. This Iron Sand City is probably not an ordinary city.”
Just as he said this, Neiwen in front suddenly screamed out: “Ambush! Everyone, be careful, it’s the Big Round Devil!”
Puff —— Big Round Devil? Negris almost burst into laughter, this name was too cute, wasn’t it? Big Round Devil for something round and rolling?
The ground started to tremble, the gravel was bouncing, everyone cast their gaze forward. After seeing what the Big Round Devil looked like, they couldn’t laugh anymore.
