Arrival at the Bamboo Island Strait (A Two-in-One Chapter)

Commander Xin, eager to equip his army with weapons, naturally wanted a Wind-Powered Automatic Forging Hammer as well, so he accepted Elder Jin's suggestion and began negotiating with the Han Tribe's emissary group, asking them for these technologies.

The emissary group's attitude was unclear. They neither agreed to provide them nor explicitly refused, and the two sides began their usual wrangling. Naturally, all of this was cover for Beast Tooth's intelligence transfers to Elder Jin. Every few days, Elder Jin would visit the emissary group to meet Beast Tooth. His public excuse was to seek the technology for the Automatic Forging Hammer, but in reality, he was repeatedly revealing the Xin Tribe's defensive arrangements to Beast Tooth.

Elder Jin's frequent dealings with the Han Tribe's emissary group naturally aroused Commander Xin's suspicion. In truth, he was merely anxious; it was not that he genuinely distrusted Elder Jin.
