425: Chapter 425 Shi Le's Pride!

During the military exchange between the Shiyang Tribe and Great Qin, specifically during the weapon demonstration phase...

Unwilling to be outdone, the Shiyang Tribe decided to seize the initiative; before Great Qin's Black Dragon Special Forces Brigade could display their weapons, the Shiyang Tribe took the lead in presenting their own.

Most prominent was an exaggerated 1.8-meter greatbow, its body clearly textured and radiating a fierce aura.

Beside it, a scimitar glinting with a cold light was even more eye-catching, its blade like a pool of autumn water, shimmering with a piercing radiance that sent shivers down one's spine.

Shi Le stood before the Black Dragon Special Forces Brigade, his face full of smugness and ostentation.

The Black Dragon Special Forces Brigade had sent over a hundred people this time.

The Detachment Leader in charge was named Xiao Zhuang.

He looked on with curiosity.

This was the first time he had seen the weapons of a foreign army.

Pointing at the scimitar, Shi Le shouted, "Everyone, this is the latest scimitar acquired by our Shiyang Tribe, brought here from the distant Western Regions."

After casting a provocative glance at the Black Dragon Special Forces Brigade, he continued, "This scimitar is incomparably sharp and can easily snap a Bronze Sword in two!"

Shi Le's action was not unintentional; in his understanding, Great Qin held the advantage in many battles due to the sharpness and durability of their Bronze Swords.

Now that the Shiyang Tribe possessed these silver-glinting scimitars, they had undoubtedly gained a trump card for defeating their enemies.

Looking at the scimitar in his hand, he could almost see the scene of the Great Qin soldiers' Bronze Swords being easily severed, feeling secretly smug.

Unfortunately, the number of silver scimitars currently owned by the tribe was not yet enough for every man to have one.

Shi Le thought to himself, "If only we had more of these scimitars, the advantage would be entirely on our side in future battles with Great Qin! With the sharpness of these blades, we will surely show the Great Qin army the power of our Shiyang Tribe and let them know we are by no means soft persimmons to be toyed with."

At this thought, a hint of anticipation and ambition flickered in Shi Le's eyes. He knew well that weapons played a decisive role in war, and these scimitars might become the key factor in shifting the balance of power between the Shiyang Tribe and Great Qin.

Shi Le felt that he should perhaps import more of these silver scimitars from the Western Regions.

It just so happened that he had received a large amount of silver from that "Wealth-giving Boy," the Great Qin Head of State, which he could use to purchase them from the Western Regions.

Once every man in the Shiyang Tribe had one, Great Qin's Bronze Swords would be destined for nothing but being shattered upon meeting their silver scimitars!

With this in mind, Shi Le became increasingly self-satisfied.

In contrast to Shi Le's triumphant manner, Xiao Zhuang's expression remained calm, showing no sign of surprise.

Looking at Shi Le, he spoke slowly, "In our Great Qin, Bronze Swords have long been replaced by steel sabers, and now our warriors are also equipped with revolvers. As long as there is sufficient ammunition, our soldiers have no need for close-quarters combat; they can easily handle situations with their revolvers."

Hearing Xiao Zhuang's words, Shi Le was momentarily stunned, but then a sneer of disdain appeared on his face.

"Pfft!"

He gave a heavy snort, his eyes filled with arrogance and contempt.

"Stop putting on a brave front! Everyone knows that Bronze Swords have always been Great Qin's primary weapon. These silver scimitars are extremely rare; how could you possibly be equipped with them in large numbers!"

As Shi Le spoke, he lifted his chin, his gaze betraying deep suspicion.

"I think you're just putting on an act in front of me, intentionally exaggerating!"

Xiao Zhuang spread his hands helplessly. "I'm just telling the truth."

"That's impossible!"

Shi Le said, "Don't think you can scare me with made-up lies; our Shiyang Tribe isn't that easy to fool. If you have them, bring them out and let's see."

"Uh..."

Xiao Zhuang was taken aback; they were a special forces unit, and they didn't carry steel sabers—they were equipped with daggers.

Shi Le sneered; these Great Qin people were truly dishonest, still trying to deceive him!

He was a clever one; as if he'd be fooled!
