I'll tell you all, this land is round and we can sail forward without looking back, never worrying about losing our way home—wealth and homestead lie straight ahead.
Fear no powerful enem...
"As long as we capture the Great Xia Rao camp, it will be worth it. Their silk is piled up like mountains, and they also have iron armor, enough for every Buyut to have one."
Sinruda's shouts resonated with those around him, who were either Aguwu or Buyut, all grassroots members of the Majapahit regime and among the biggest beneficiaries of the spoils of war.
"Vadana, the enemy has armor... how are we going to deal with this?"
Unlike those barbarians blinded by greed, Bolu reacted quickly. Upon hearing that the Great Xia had armored soldiers, he disregarded his own rudeness and publicly revealed his hidden worries.
"Berlu, do you know... even the King's armored army... couldn't withstand the stab of a true Kris..."
Sinruda lowered his voice, causing everyone around him to gasp in surprise.
The Majapahit people were poor in iron ore, and their iron smelting technology was still in the "lump steel method" stage. Every weapon had to be forged for a long time before it could be used, otherwise it would break.
However, they mastered the forging technology of meteorite iron. In Majapahit, meteorite iron could not be kept privately. Each piece had to be handed over to the lord to be specially forged into a battle sword. The name of the battle sword was "Kris". Its sharpness was such that it could cut through copper and iron without any problem. All the Agubu and even the Buyut had a "Kris".
The king had a hundred-strong ironclad guard, forged from refined iron over a decade, which had always been a powerful deterrent. No one knew exactly how strong they were, because there had never been a rebellion that warranted their deployment.
The shock of everyone upon hearing that their "Malay Kriss" could pierce the armor of the King's Guard was palpable.
Boru looked at Sinuda in surprise, only to meet her meaningful gaze. Boru lowered his head and remained silent. The astute Boru knew that many things were better left undiscussed.
"Sinruda, six hundred of my men have died. What bad luck! Where are yours?"
A large, fat barbarian walked over, and the crowd automatically made way for him to speak with Sinruda.
"Harumila, I lost nearly five hundred men, but at least we made it ashore. The land is our battlefield."
"That's right, the online army is all useless. Over the years, when have we not brought victory and wealth to the king?"
"No, Harumir, I want to launch an attack tonight. Do you want to come with me?"
The Majapahit people are very warlike and greedy, and it is very common for them to embezzle spoils of war. When Boru invited Harumir to join the attack, he was actually inviting him to cooperate.
“Just what I wanted!” Harumir patted his large belly, revealing a knowing look.
Malay sword... is Malay kris... kris means "sword".
