I hear Commander Huang plans to expand the Dragon Fang Army to at least two thousand men. If so, the Dragon Fang Army alone will consume over fifty thousand elemental crystals each month—more than six hundred thousand in a year!"
"The Earth Treasure Court originally controlled more than three hundred elemental crystal stockpiles.
