My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World-Chapter 558: Shocking Discovery

Closing his eyes instinctively, Wu Ruizhan’s hand instinctively grabbed the hilt of his sword.

Standing beside him, Feng Xiyan said calmly, "General Wu, this is the dining area. This general has prepared a seat at the front for you and the generals."

Hearing this, Wu Ruizhan opened his eyes, only to be stunned by the dazzling, shimmering lights illuminating the entire area.

Coming back to his senses, Wu Ruizhan turned to look at Feng Xiyan and saw that he did not even bat an eye at this magnificent scene.

Watching everything from her hidden position, Bai Hanyun smiled in satisfaction. Raising the walkie-talkie in her hand, she pressed the talk button and said, "Bring out the canopy tents we prepared beforehand."

Waiting in the back area, the captain responsible for setting up the canopy tent heard the order. Pressing the talk button, he replied, "Roger that."

Turning to his subordinates, the captain ordered, "Begin to set up the canopy tents."

"Yes, Captain."

Accepting the order, more than two thousand soldiers carried the canopy tents and marched toward the dining area.

Before Wu Ruizhan and his men could recover from the shock of the glass tables, they saw Feng Army soldiers carrying some kind of metal sticks and thick fabric walk out from the back area.

Without needing further instructions, the soldiers set up the canopy tents at remarkable speed.

In less than ten minutes, the once bright, iridescent lights disappeared as the canopy tents blocked the sunlight from falling onto the glass tables’ surface. After completing their task, the soldiers left the dining area in an orderly manner.

Seeing that the second phase of her plan was complete, Bai Hanyun pressed the talk button on her walkie-talkie and ordered, "Kitchen staff, prepare to serve the dishes."

Receiving her command, the captain waiting outside the kitchen responded, "Roger that."

While the kitchen staff awaited Bai Hanyun’s signal, Feng Xiyan turned to Wu Ruizhan and said, "General Wu, this way, please."

Although he was still shaken by the grand display of wealth and discipline, Wu Ruizhan showed nothing on his expressionless face. Nodding slightly, he followed Feng Xiyan to the main seat, with the generals following closely behind.

After everyone took their seats, Feng Xiyan looked at the Wu Army soldiers and said, "Today’s welcome banquet is specially prepared for all of you. Please, everyone, have a seat."

The Wu Army soldiers hesitated briefly, then looked toward Wu Ruizhan. Seeing him calmly drinking the water poured by a Feng Army soldier, they finally clasped their fists and said in unison, "Thank you, Great General, for your generosity."

After expressing their gratitude, the soldiers sat down on the long chairs made of steel and soft leather.

Moments later, a captain under Chi Minghao suddenly sucked in a sharp breath.

Sitting beside him, another captain asked in a low voice, "What’s wrong? Why do you look like you have lost your soul?"

Regaining his composure, the captain touched the long chair with trembling fingers, then knocked on it a few times.

Watching his actions, the second captain asked curiously, "Brother, what are you doing?"

Ignoring the question, the logistics captain’s expression grew paler with each passing second.

Sensing something was wrong, the second captain grabbed his hand and asked urgently, "Why aren’t you saying anything? Did you discover something?"

Just as the second captain was about to lose his patience from waiting, the logistics captain finally swallowed hard and stammered, "T–this chair is actually made of fine steel."

"Not only that, even the seat is made of mysterious materials. Not only does it feel soft, but it actually is not hot despite its thick appearance."

The moment his words fell, the surrounding captains were struck into silence.

After a long pause, the second captain looked at him doubtfully. "Brother, don’t joke with us. Are you sure this chair is made of fine steel?"

Another captain shook his head and asked, "How could someone use fine steel to make chairs? Fine steel is not only expensive, but it’s practically unobtainable. Where did the Feng Army get so much of it?"

Questioned by his comrade, the logistic captain said with certainty, "I won’t be wrong. I once heard about it from a master blacksmith in the past. Fine steel is basically a legendary material because the method to create it is unknown to this day."

Hearing this, another captain suddenly recalled something. Leaning forward, he lowered his voice and said, "That might actually be possible."

At his words, the others turned to him with curiosity and confusion.

Under their gazes, the captain asked, "Do you all remember the rumors about the Feng Army that spread across the Central Continent these past months?"

"You mean Heaven’s blessing?" another captain asked.

Nodding at him, the captain continued, "If the Feng Army truly received Heaven’s blessing, then it’s not strange that they keep winning battles or receive the method to create fine steel. Besides—"

Tapping the glass table with his fingers, he asked quietly, "Have any of you ever seen something like this before?"

Faced with his question, the captains fell into thoughtful silence.

While secret discussions spread through the dining area amongst the Wu Army’s soldiers, Bai Hanyun’s smile widened. Pressing the talk button, she ordered, "Serve the dishes and wine."

"Roger that." Receiving the command, the kitchen captain shouted, "It’s time! Serve the dishes and bring out the wine!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Soon, thousands of soldiers carried large steel bowls and plates filled with food, while others pushed carts loaded with jars of high-quality wine.

Watching the grand scene, Hua Yuyu, Wu Jun, and Ouyang Zhuangyu glanced at Bai Hanyun. Seeing the satisfied smile on her lips, the three exchanged meaningful looks.

Standing beside her, the Yang Mirror clicked his tongue and praised, "Girl, this move of yours is truly smart and effective."

Bai Hanyun raised her chin slightly and replied, "Of course. The saying that money can make even ghosts turn the mill isn’t nonsense after all. I bet that after the generals and soldiers finish this meal, their loyalty will soar to the sky."
