Chapter 29: The Thousand Rocks Are Firm, The Heavy Barriers Do Not Move!
Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, Little Ganyu went first to find Long Wang and others to prepare for the meeting, while Jiang Yan went to the Qianyan Army training base to assemble the troops.
Nearing the Qianyan Army base, Jiang Yan could already hear the raucous sounds of training.
Countless bare-chested, burly men stood under the scorching sun, their spears either thrusting or lifting, their movements perfectly synchronized.
Another group of men ran around the entire camp, shouting continuously.
"Five kilometers!"
"I love you!"
"If you don't run for a day!"
"I'll miss you to death!"
The entire camp was divided into three sections: one for physical conditioning, one for Spear Technique, and one for close-combat skills and toughness.
Judging by their thick, bronze-colored bodies, they were all fierce men!
This was Jiang Yan copying the modern army training methods from his past life.
Although he only knew the basics, he still knew how to do things like running and standing in military posture.
Furthermore, Jiang Yan had transmitted the martial arts manuals and spear tactics and strategies he obtained from treasure chests to the army, allowing them to allocate their time and cultivate on their own.
"Qianyan Army, listen to orders!"
"All assemble!"
Outside the camp, Jiang Yan channeled elemental power, and his loud shout echoed through the clouds.
The entire camp could hear Jiang Yan's words.
Before long, a group of soldiers in armor appeared before Jiang Yan in perfect formation.
"Reporting to my lord Immortal, the full force of fifteen thousand four hundred and thirty men has assembled! Awaiting my lord Immortal's instructions!"
The leading soldier reported loudly to Jiang Yan; Jiang Yan nodded, signaling him to return to the ranks.
He gazed at the Qianyan Army standing straight; these burly men wore armor, their fierce momentum striking directly at his face.
It seems these five years of training were not in vain.
Jiang Yan's gaze fixed on everyone, and the pressure unique to an Immortal flowed out faintly, making everyone tense.
They had not seen the Immortal so serious since the Qianyan Army was first formed.
"Comrades! We have been in this mountain range for a full five years!"
After gazing for a long time, Jiang Yan suddenly spoke.
"Do you remember what I said when the Qianyan Army was formed?"
"The Qianyan Army will become the sharpest spear in the Lord of Contracts' hand, shattering all enemies who block the Lord of Contracts' steps!"
"And also the hardest shield before the people! Swearing to defend our home with our flesh and blood to the death!"
"And now! The time has come when the Lord of Contracts needs us!"
"In the north, there is a son of a bitch named Chi, an Archon! He covets our home, jealous that we can live in peace and prosperity under the protection of two Archons!"
"Now! That damn thing leads his army south! He wants to destroy our lives! He wants to enslave our families! He wants to destroy our home! Tell me! What should you do?!"
Jiang Yan spoke loudly, ensuring every Qianyan soldier could hear his voice.
"Kill!"
"Kill!!"
"Kill!!!"
The almost simultaneous roar of killing shattered the clouds; at this moment, the Qianyan Army's momentum was overwhelming!
"Come on! Comrades! The time to test ourselves has arrived!"
"This is the Qianyan Army's first battle! We are the face of the Lord of Contracts! We must let the enemies know!"
"What is a king's army!"
"What is called the Qianyan Army!"
Jiang Yan spread his upper arms and shouted loudly.
"The thousand rocks are firm, the heavy barriers do not move!"
"The thousand rocks are firm, the heavy barriers do not move!"
"The thousand rocks are firm, the heavy barriers do not move!"
Every Qianyan soldier, with frenzied expressions and flushed faces, shouted loudly.
"Very good! I feel everyone's morale!"
"All troops, listen to orders! Forced march! Coordinates: Guili Plains!"
The great army set out; the vast Qianyan Army followed Jiang Yan, carrying a magnificent momentum, heading for Guili Plains.
Guili Plains gathering place.
A group of Immortals sat around in the meeting room.
"That guy Chi!"
"Was eyeing Guili Plains covetously from the start."
Lady Guizhong slammed the table hard, her eyes full of disgust.
"Having endured for twenty years, he finally couldn't hold back?"
Xueyue Zhuyang Zhenjun spoke in a calm voice.
"Overestimating his own strength."
Long Wang did not even raise his eyes, as if he held him in utter contempt.
The group of Immortals all wore expressions of disdain.
It was no wonder they underestimated the enemy.
On their side, they alone possessed five Demon God-level powers: the Emperor, Ruotuo, Lady Guizhong, Markus, and Jiang Yan.
How dare a mere Demon God do this?
"Very well! The food problem is solved."
Morax clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.
"Qingce Village is nestled against mountains and beside waters, with a thousand li of terraced fields. This Chi is truly a bringer of wealth..."
A cold hue lingered in Morax's eyes.
"Indeed it is~"
A light laugh came from outside the door, and Jiang Yan, clad in green robes, walked in.
"Yo~ the busy one, finally willing to come home for a visit?"
Cloud Retainer saw Jiang Yan enter, gave a light snort, and teased.
"Oh my, Sister Cloud Retainer, you've grown much more beautiful these past years."
Jiang Yan awkwardly scratched his head, speaking with a hearty laugh.
There was no choice; he knew Cloud Retainer was standing up for Little Ganyu.
What decent person, having just started a relationship, hides in Dashan for five years without coming out?
"Hmph! You have plenty of pretty words."
"Stay longer this time you return, and keep Little Ganyu company properly."
Cloud Retainer spoke as if indignant, but everyone knew she was just tsundere.
And Little Ganyu, standing aside, had her small face turned red by her Master's words.
