"Heavy cavalry? That's just a product of a bygone era."
Lava General's voice showed no fluctuation: "The times have changed. Cavalry will gradually be phased out by the era."
"They'll no longer be the major consumers of steel. But in this new era, their steel consumption can basically be ignored."
"How much steel do those new-style buildings I asked you to construct require?"
"How much steel do our magic-powered armor suits need?"
"How much steel do our war chariots need?"
"How much steel will future mine carts need? Factory construction, mine planning, rail transport from mines to various areas, all kinds of new mining machinery—so many areas need steel."
"The future is an era of magic-tech and steel. Even if current production capacity expands by a thousand times, ten thousand times, it still might not meet the demands of the new era."
When Lava General spoke, he was extremely calm—so calm it was like he was stating something that had already happened.
