Great Xia Year Ten, August 10th
Just as the summer martial arts competition was unfolding with great intensity.
On the far west of Jinshan Town, within the jurisdiction of Yinhe Valley, to be precise, at the extreme north of Yinhe Valley, nearest to Bone-Eroding Path, Jinyang Village also welcomed a major transformation.
Clink clank… clang clang…
It was nighttime, and the entire Jinyang Village was ablaze with firelight.
A brief glance, and there were at least a hundred giant coal furnaces scattered throughout the village, all running at full capacity, with a few furnaces that hadn't been fitted with melting pots, with flames soaring over ten meters into the sky, signifying the intensity of the blaze.
Around those giant coal furnaces, iron ore piled up like mountains, thousands of bare-chested strapping men weaving among them, either forging, smelting iron, or molding… all busy and bustling, the sounds of piling and iron forging echoed throughout the entire village.
