However, since some human residents migrated to Kovil and Povis several hundred years ago and established their own kingdoms there, this special metal has gradually become more common on the market, with the quantity being more than ten times that of the past.

Not only do some wealthy businessmen have channels to purchase these precious metals, but even some ordinary people can get some through special channels.

The outflow of these magic-blocking metals threatened the status of the spellcaster class, and also gave human rulers hope of fighting against the judiciary.

The attitudes of these two parties greatly increased the popularity of this magical metal, and also allowed the kingdoms of Covel and Povis, which were rich in magic-blocking metal, to make a fortune.

According to the research of mineralogists, although the reserves of Demonic Repellent Gold are quite scarce in other kingdoms, in Coville and Povis, they have the world's largest Demonic Repellent Gold veins. About 90% of the Demonic Repellent Gold in the entire continent is stored there. This is why Demonic Repellent Gold is circulating more and more frequently in the market today.

However, even so, this is an extremely expensive metal, worth as much as an equal weight of gold, and it has always been in short supply and rarely circulates in large quantities on the market.

Even with Wayne's financial resources, he could only monopolize most of the supplies on the market, and the quantity obtained was not enough to forge armor for the giants.

Moreover, the effect of this metal is range-bound, and there is no need to integrate this metal into armor. Just wearing a magic amulet can defend against most magical attacks.

Otherwise, if you want to use this metal to forge a full body armor, the cost would probably be sky-high.

However, the Giant Heavy Armored Legion is one of the important means for the Cult to deal with large-scale armies. In order to solve the worries of this army, Julia, a little beautiful cat born in the Kingdom of Koville, has contacted many large mine owners in Koville and contracted all the ores in those mines. In the future, she will use money offensive to control more magic-blocking crystal veins.

With these mineral veins, we can independently provide more demon-blocking metal to the Demon Hunter Cult.

After all, it is not just the giant army that needs this kind of defensive equipment. If every demon hunter can have a magic-blocking gold amulet, then it will be much easier to deal with them when they conflict with spellcasters in the future.

……………………

While the three people in the sky were discussing the giant army, the battle in the forest was going quite smoothly.

The Nilfgaardian army, which had been engaged in conventional human warfare for decades, had never expected to encounter a group of armored giants.

The huge gap in size and individual combat power not only caught them off guard, but the army of tens of thousands of people was quickly defeated under the brutal massacre of these giants.

If the enemy commander had not reacted quickly and immediately issued an order to retreat, perhaps this Nilfgaardian infantry corps would have suffered heavy losses or even been completely destroyed in this war.

But even so, in less than two hours of fighting, nearly 10,000 soldiers died in this forest, and their deaths were quite miserable. Some were blown into meat paste by the giants' weapons, while others were used as human sandbags and crushed to death in the giants' hands.

Such a tragic scene directly frightened the Nilfgaardian soldiers. While fleeing, they all threw away their heavy weapons and helmets. They were like ants on a hot pan, wishing their parents would give them a few more thighs so that they could run faster.

Until only bloody corpses were left on the entire battlefield, more than 200 soldiers of the Giant Legion scattered to various places in the Hundred Flower Valley Forest and began to hunt down the fleeing deserters.

Wayne glanced at the battlefield expressionlessly, then turned to Francesca beside him and said, "The battle is over, Enid."

"I will order Berengar to control the giant army and temporarily station them in the Valley of Flowers, awaiting Nilfgaard's subsequent response."

"Although they suffered a crushing defeat this time, it is not a big loss for their overall strength."

Francesca nodded when she heard this, a beautiful smile appeared on her face, and she said to Wayne:

"Thank you for the help of the cult, Wayne. You helped us drive away the enemy and protect the home we depend on for survival."

"We the elves will become the best allies of the Demon Hunter Cult and provide you with any help we can."

After the two exchanged a few polite greetings on behalf of their respective groups, the elf sage Ada, who was flying nearby, pursed her lips with a cold expression and suddenly said to Wayne: "It was a pretty good performance, Wayne."

"But next, do you have time?"

"I would like to invite you to come to my laboratory."

Wayne raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, and looked at the beautiful ascetic face of the Elf Sage Ada. He guessed in his heart the purpose of this top spellcaster's invitation, and asked at the same time: "I'm not very busy, but Ada, you must tell me your purpose first, then I will consider whether to accept your invitation."

The elven sage's expression did not change when he heard this, but what he said almost made his jaw drop.

"It's not that difficult, Wayne."

"As the most active male owner of the Ancient Blood, I simply want you to help me and Enid conceive, so that we can carry your bloodline and give birth to a child who also has the Ancient Blood."

"I have been asking Enid to tell you this, but she doesn't seem to have explained to you the significance of this incident to the elves."

"That's why I'm taking this opportunity to formally express to you my opinion as an elf sage."

"If you wish, Enid and I can nominate you to be the new Elf King and let your bloodline become the royal bloodline of the Flower Valley elves."

"In this way, your Demon Hunter Cult and our elves will have more trust in each other, and the Demon Hunter Cult you care about will be able to develop more rapidly."

“This is a win-win situation for both of us.”

Hearing such bold words from Ada, an ascetic elf beauty, Wayne was stunned for a moment. He had just been secretly complaining in his heart, thinking about finding an opportunity to fuck up this arrogant elf sage, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually take the initiative to propose it, and the temptation offered was so great.

There was surprise on his face, and he did not answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at Francesca, whose face was slightly rosy and who did not refute Ada. He was suddenly very moved.

Although Francesca had hinted at these things before, the cooperation between the two parties was not so in-depth at that time, and the trust between them was not thorough enough, so he had not discussed these matters with the sorceress.

Now, after such a long period of cooperation, he has indeed seen the sincerity of the elves. So now, should he accept Ada's invitation?
