Chapter 329 - 306: Incorporating the Fountain of Youth into Military Supplies
Rachel Angelo was a burly man, akin to a lion in strength.
All who met him were deeply impressed by his bushy red hair, dense like a lion’s mane, and when coupled with his sturdy frame, it often led people to unconsciously neglect his advanced age of eighty years.
The iron-blooded lion had spent forty springs and autumns guarding the frontier for the Empire, earning a resounding reputation.
There used to be a buffer zone between the Impure Chant and Laine, inhabited by various races such as Goblins, Undead, Lizardmen, and the Jackalwolf People.
Tiflin used these races as a shield to isolate themselves from Laine.
However, since Rachel Angelo took over the city lord position of Flow Flame City, he had nearly eradicated these races.
The vast Goblin tribes, numbering tens of thousands, were trampled into mud by Rachel Angelo’s iron cavalry, and the Legendary Rank Goblin Magician had his head chopped off by Rachel Angelo, which now hung in his bedroom.
Rachel Angelo’s dominance was one of the reasons why Tiflin was wary of Laine. All Tiflin knew that if this Ironblood General launched an attack, Tiflin could face the risk of extinction.
As such, the necessity of more Gates of Hell became apparent; they would rather be killed by the gods than be slaughtered by this dreadful executioner.
The Gates of Hell were a significant nuisance to the Laine People, as once opened, monsters from Hell would surge out. Given a single day, the Gates could unleash an army of hundreds of thousands, and even if Laine attacked with all its might, the losses would be devastating.
