This is perhaps an overestimation of Ian's capabilities. If he had been given more time, he might really have been able to produce a couple of Armored Suits, but wasn't he almost rushing out of the Imperial Capital because of the Prophet's portent?
Regardless, now was the time to take advantage of Ian's lack of Armored Clothing and either eliminate him or capture him. Over in Fiery Flame Land, there was a hefty bounty on the head of this ingenious young lord!
Serpent Rock and Zhenzhou immediately took off in pursuit in their Armor Suits, and after ingesting a large quantity of potions, Chief Tiechen also set his spine right. He looked at his flattened Armor Suit with a pained expression and bellowed, "Troops! Assemble! Stop wailing like cowards. I haven't made a peep, so what the hell are you screaming for!"
"Reform the ranks, target Leyan City!"
—Since Serpent Rock and Zhenzhou wanted to capture that rascal for their merit, he would take Leyan City as his!
Meanwhile.
