Chapter 447: The Military Parade 2
One thousand people moved in perfect unison, lifting their legs and landing their feet at the same time, causing the earth to boom like the surface of a drum; their uniform pace and rhythm displayed the discipline and inviolable majesty of the Salvation Army.
All the commoners watching were filled with burning passion, cheering and rooting for these soldiers; the entire training ground was surging with enthusiasm.
"Double time, march! One-two-one, one-two-one..." Zhang Shagen commanded again, and all the Salvation Army officers and soldiers marched forward, still in straight lines and perfect unison.
The Salvation Army drill concluded, and Zhang Shagen shouted: "Attention!"
All the Salvation Army officers and soldiers once again held their heads high and chests out, standing on the ground like javelins, their gazes fixed on Meng Yifan upon the high platform.
"Look quickly, there are people flying in the sky."
"That is our air force; my cousin is in that unit."
"Damn, they are also holding AK47 Assault Rifles; if they encounter avian Demon Beasts, our air force will definitely be able to blast the avian Demon Beasts to pieces when they open fire in the sky."
The commoners of Luolong County discussed it heatedly, looking up at the sky to see an aerial flight formation of one hundred people flying in from the east in a neat formation.
They were the Vampire Flight Formation led by Kong Sanqiang; Kong Sanqiang was now a Fourth-Grade Vampire, and he had also developed ten Level 3 Vampires, while all the other vampires were of Second Grade Xuegui strength.
Vampires are considered mutants; they are very special, as they can rapidly increase their strength as long as they have fresh blood, and the blood of Demon Beasts contains rich energy; after absorbing the blood of these Demon Beasts, their strength can advance by leaps and bounds.
Regarding this expedition to fight a great war against the Demon Race, these vampires were the most excited; to them, those Demon Race powerhouses were their blood banks, and after a great battle, their strength could all rise to a higher level.
The Vampire Flight Formation wore leather jackets made from the hides of Fifth-grade Beasts, which had strong defensive capabilities; every Second Grade Xuegui was armed with an AK47 Assault Rifle, and vampires of Level 3 and above not only carried AK47 Assault Rifles but also shouldered PF98 120mm rocket launchers, with all vampires having a ring of Hand Grenades wrapped around their waists.
The AK47 is for Demon Beasts below Level 3, the PF98 120mm rocket launcher is for Demon Beasts Level 3 and above, and the Hand Grenades can blast the Demon Beasts on the ground; this Vampire Flight Formation could be considered armed to the teeth, with very formidable combat power.
When the Vampire Flight Formation flew to the high platform of the training ground, Kong Sanqiang shouted: "Salute!"
"Swish!" All one hundred vampires hovered in the air and saluted Meng Yifan.
Meng Yifan returned the salute, and then Kong Sanqiang commanded: "Attention!"
All the vampires held their heads high and stood at attention in mid-air, waiting for Meng Yifan to issue the order to set out.
Next, a series of shaking sounds suddenly came from the ground as the Zombie Troop led by Meng Shuangdao walked over slowly.
These Zombie Troop members were each broad-shouldered and thick-waisted with immense strength; they wore full-body steel armor 30 centimeters thick, revealing only a pair of scarlet, Bloodthirsty eyes; when they looked at the crowd, many people felt a chill shoot from their heels to their crowns the moment they made eye contact, and some timid people were even trembling with fear.
"Zhao Sanlang, look at your cowardly appearance; these Zombie Troop members have all been subdued by Lord Meng; they will not harm the commoners of our Luolong County, but will instead protect our safety."
"That's right, everyone need not be afraid; the Zombie Troop all obey Lord Meng's orders and will not harm us."
The arrival of the Zombie Troop caused a stir among the commoners, but this stir soon subsided because the omnipotent Lord Meng Yifan was still standing on the high platform; with him there, these zombies would not harm people indiscriminately.
Zombies are terrifying; in myths and legends, they are the embodiment of evil, but this group of zombies had been subdued by Lord Meng Yifan to fight for Luolong County, which made the commoners admire Meng Yifan even more.
The Zombie Troop also numbered one hundred; Meng Shuangdao is a Fifth Grade Zombie whose body is no different from an ordinary person's, but the other zombies' bodies remained very stiff; they could not march in step or march in perfect unison like the Salvation Army, but their momentum was majestic as they moved, making people tremble with fear.
The Zombie Troop was like a moving steel fortress; their weapons were heavy weapons like maces and Green Dragon Crescent Blades, each weapon weighing at least two hundred kilograms; when swung, they were unstoppable.
These were the three units under Meng Yifan's command: one thousand Salvation Army, one hundred Vampire Flight Formation, and one hundred Zombie Troop.
All three units stood at attention looking at Meng Yifan on the high platform, and all the commoners in the audience also consciously stood at attention, looking at Meng Yifan.
At this very moment, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Luolong County looked at Meng Yifan, waiting for his command.
Meng Yifan's heart surged with emotion; these were his soldiers, the iron-blooded troops he had built with his own hands; on Earth, he was once just a mercenary working for money, and he had never imagined that one day, more than a thousand formidable troops would be waiting for his command.
"The Demon Race is ravaging Dongzhou, killing our humans and eating our flesh and blood; many of you have had relatives eaten by Demon Beasts; they are a pack of beasts and have an irreconcilable hatred with us humans."
"Now I want you to use the weapons in your hands to tell the Demon Race that humans are not their food, that we humans are not to be bullied."
"If the enemy can go, so can I!"
"The Demon Race dares to come to human territory to kill and eat meat, so we also dare to go to the Ten Thousand Mountains to kill demons, eat meat, and seize their Spirit Stone Mine."
"This battle must make the Demon Beasts never dare to enter the territory of Dongzhou again, and make the Demon Beasts retreat three times over just hearing our human name." Meng Yifan focused his Qi into his dantian and said loudly, so that the tens of thousands of people in the audience could hear his voice clearly.
"Victory in this battle!" Meng Yifan shouted.
"Victory in this battle!"
"Victory in this battle!"
"Victory in this battle!"
All the officers and soldiers shouted in unison, and then the commoners of the whole city followed suit; the shouting of tens of thousands of people was earth-shattering and filled with heroic spirit.
Then Meng Yifan drew his Ghost Head Blade and pointed it in the direction of the Ten Thousand Mountains: "Set out!"
Amidst the reluctant gazes of the city's commoners, the three units walked out of the city gates and marched in the direction of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Luolong County had sent out its troops, and this news soon spread throughout the entire Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty.
In recent years, due to natural and man-made disasters, the humans of the Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty had been living in dire straits, and the Demon Race, the Barbarian Race, and the Yi Race had all invaded the Central Plains on a large scale, slaughtering a large number of the commoners of the Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty.
The commoners lived very stifled lives; anyone could come and bully them, and they had thought about resisting, but the Demon Race and other alien races were truly too powerful, and they were powerless to resist.
Never did they expect that Meng Yifan and his group of former rebels would be the first to launch a counterattack, going to the lair of the Demon Race to kill Demon Beasts and avenge humanity, which left the commoners of the Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty filled with deep emotion.
