Chapter 1463

"It's already exhausted."

Li Yao had a thought, "That's easy to handle; in the few days before heading to the Abyss, I will guard the Insect Mother battlefield."

"We don't need so many practitioners here."

"Let those seniors from the military accompany Benefactor Xiao Bai to other countries' battlefields."

"Exterminate all those scattered Demon race members; their energy can support Benefactor Xiao Bai for a period of time."

"With the battlefields outside the borders liberated, foreign practitioners can also enter the 【Insect Mother Battlefield】 to help me deal with the insects."

Listening to Li Yao's plan, Lin Lao's eyes widened more and more.

"It is indeed a win-win situation, but if you transfer away a large number of practitioners, you will be guarding the Insect Mother battlefield alone."

Li Yao laughed: "Did Lin Lao forget that statue in Linbei City?"

"Haha," Lin Lao laughed heartily, "It was my oversight."

Looking at this youth,

Lin Lao's eyes were full of gratification.

That saying seemed to have manifested:

If the youth are strong, the country is strong!

How long has it been since Li Yao changed his class?

He has already made the Dragon Nation leap to become the undisputed number one country of practitioners!

These were all secondary;

the key was

that the sacrifices of the soldiers had become fewer.

In the past,

a large number of practitioners were born every year during the class advancement ceremony,

yet the total number of practitioners was decreasing year by year.

Lin Lao believed that the statistics at the end of this year would definitely give him a huge surprise!

The three major Demon races of the past now only had the Insect race left.

The Heavenly Dao blessing from the border trial,

the national reward from the Abyss Bestiary—

the quality of Dragon Nation practitioners was becoming stronger before their eyes!

As long as Li Yao was there,

Lin Lao could fully believe that one day, this last Insect race, and even the Demon race behind it, could be completely wiped out!

"By the way, Lin Lao should know about the auction three days later, right?"

"Of course, these days Xue girl has been busy with battlefield matters and went to help you promote it on the Star Net; don't talk about me, practitioners all over the world know!"

The teacher had indeed helped a lot; Li Yao laughed: "Senior Hua has helped me a lot; now that she has just advanced to the Eighth Advancement, she should be short of some equipment."

"Lin Lao, help me pass a message to Senior Hua, tell her to go take a look, and if there's anything she needs, she can just keep it."

Speaking of this, Li Yao remembered the 【Tower of Breaking Limits】 and asked:

"I wonder when the second Eighth-Advancement practitioner will appear?"

Lin Lao thought for a moment, "It should be soon; the energy required to open the Tower of Breaking Limits is very high; at most one week, and the second person can enter."

"My plan now is to let Yang Donglai enter; he is the one with the highest merit and strength in our Dragon Nation."

"It doesn't matter who enters; Lin Lao can just decide."

Li Yao said casually.

As long as Eighth-Advancement practitioners could be born continuously, that was fine.

This trip to the Abyss would be longer than previous stays.

Blue Star needed strong people to guard it.

Overlord-tier combat power indeed could not enter Blue Star,

but there were still True-Name-tier ones!

The New King had to enter the Abyss from time to time to harass the Insect race,

and Senior Hua had to guard the Insect Mother battlefield.

If there could be a new Eighth-Advancement practitioner, Senior Hua would be much more relaxed.

To deal with Seventh-Advancement True-Name-tier monsters, Eighth-Advancement practitioners were enough.

As for whether there were Eighth-Advancement monsters,

at least he hadn't seen any yet.

They shouldn't appear in the short term.

The two talked for a while longer, and then Lin Lao left.

Li Yao continued to wait in the room.

Soon,

the door was knocked on again.

An old man wearing coarse linen clothes walked in.

He had a full head of white hair, his beard was unkempt, and his white beard dragged down to his chest.

He was biting on a pipe in his mouth and holding a wine gourd in one hand.

The part of his face exposed outside the beard was glowing red; it was unknown how much wine he had drunk.

"Chief General, you shouldn't mind me smoking, right?"

"I don't mind; you must be Senior Luo, right?"

"Chief General can just call me Luo Lao," Luo Cheng took a sip of wine and wiped his mouth with his other hand.

"Then Luo Lao can also just call me Li Yao."

"Alright, Li kid!" Luo Cheng was not polite either; he sat on a stool nearby and smoked comfortably, "Then I'll get straight to the point."

"Originally, when Lady Hua asked me to join your team, I could have refused."

As a rare Seventh-Advancement formation-type practitioner,

and even the world's only SSS-tier formation mage,

Luo Cheng's contribution to the Dragon Nation was no less than Hua Qianshuang's.

He had enough confidence to say this.

"But Lady Hua told me that you were looking for people, so I came."

"I only have two requests; I will absolutely assist you in exploring the Abyss with all my heart."

"Luo Lao, please speak."

Luo Cheng stretched both hands forward,

holding the pipe and the wine gourd.

"In my life, these are my only two hobbies."

"Smoking and drinking." His originally murky eyes erupted with a sharp glint at this moment, "I haven't tasted the tobacco and alcohol refined from materials in the Abyss yet."

"If we encounter materials I need, I hope you can help me collect them."

"Of course, in special circumstances, you can refuse."

"As long as the reason for refusal is reasonable, I have nothing to say."

Luo Cheng took another sip of wine.

He was old.

He had dedicated seventy years to the Dragon Nation and humanity.

He was at the age where he should retire.

Lady Hua asked him to go to such a dangerous place;

originally, he would not have agreed no matter what.

But this was Li Yao,

the Chief General.

He really had no reason to refuse.
