Seeing that Xue Chuxin was about to take off, Chen Xiaojun hurriedly asked, "Senior Chuxin, are you leaving in such a rush because things outside the mountain are urgent?"
Xue Chuxin nodded, her expression turning grave. "Over in Heavenly Wolf County, the Wolf Bandits broke through the outer forging market at the foot of Heavenly Wolf Mountain. The Heavenly Wolf Three Passes were breached one after another, and even the core area at the summit was infiltrated."
"Fortunately, Heavenly Wolf Mountain's terrain is steep and treacherous, allowing us to rely on the mountain's layout for defense. The Heavenly Wolf Three Passes and the summit plaza didn't fall completely, and in the end, they held out until our forces arrived."
"However, the local garrison suffered heavy casualties, and your Chen Clan's Brocade-Clad Guards lost more than half their number as well."
She paused, then continued, "More seriously, the Wolf Bandits seized a great deal of weapons and military supplies. This incident has already caused an enormous uproar and impact."
The moment those words were spoken, everyone present paled, their hearts shaken.
Chen Xiaojun murmured even more quietly, "As expected, things are even worse than I imagined."
Heavenly Wolf Mountain had previously been chosen as Heavenly Wolf Gate's headquarters. The mountain itself possessed an Earth Fire Vein, with North River Creek to its north, and many mines nearby, making it highly suitable as a forging site. Thus, back then, Heavenly Wolf Gate forged and sold weapons on its own.
After Heavenly Wolf Gate was breached, the Chen Clan and the authorities converted it into the Heavenly Wolf Mountain Forging Market, and took over many of the smiths and other forging craftsmen who had once belonged to Heavenly Wolf Gate.
Now, the forging market was an extremely important source of ironware and supplies
