Chapter 228

Natasha once thought that Chen Ping was warning them, and had to send an explanatory letter to Chen Ping.

It was just that because Chen Ping had locked himself in the Lord's Hall, the letter sent by Natasha could not be delivered for the time being.

Just like that, the lords of the West and South Districts were the first to discover the situation.

The points of the Tianqu Alliance and the Jiuzhou Territory, which had been advancing rapidly on the leaderboard, suddenly stagnated.

The Jiuzhou Territory's points were fixed at over nineteen thousand.

Everyone speculated whether something had gone wrong with Chen Ping's side; otherwise, why would the points stop so quickly?

For a time, everyone's hearts, which had already been quiet, became active again.

Especially the Golden Alliance, which directly expanded the scope of battle, attempting to close the gap with Jiuzhou in this wave of invasion.

The Holy Spirit Alliance side also seemed encouraged, and Ai Lan was practicing over and over again on the sand table...

For a full half-month, the intensity of the invasion in the Southwest Districts was reduced.

And on the Jiuzhou side, legion after legion, solemn and majestic, gathered in the square in front of the Lord's Hall.

Waiting for their lord's inspection.

150: 【Second Update】 Jiuzhou Legion! Invincible!

Standing at the very front of the square were the thousand-man full-strength Black Tortoise Guards!

All thousand members were clad in brand-new divine metal heavy armor and shields.

Just standing there, a mountain-like momentum rushed toward them, making people look at them with awe.

Chen Wei walked past the legion phalanx, nodding with satisfaction.

The factory had rushed and rushed, finally updating the Black Tortoise Guards' equipment before the expedition.

For the sake of speed, quite a bit of divine metal was wasted, but no one cared about that now.

"Black Tortoise Guards, full strength of one thousand, one thousand present, reporting to the Lord!"

"Black Tortoise Guards!"

"Invincible!!!"

Chen Wei turned to look at Chen Ping, who was standing on the watchtower of the Lord's Hall, leading the legion to shout loudly.

Afterward, he led the legion to the side.

The second to come up was the Elite legion led by Li Xu.

After the tempering of the second wave of the invasion, half of the members had now transferred to Bai Hu Elites.

Everyone was entwined with baleful qi; compared to the Black Tortoise Guards, this legion was simply synonymous with the Grim Reaper.

Because of time, only the Bai Hu Elites' weapons were updated this time.

The original long swords were all replaced with straight blades, highlighting the Bai Hu Elites' hacking ability.

Crafted entirely from divine metal, they wouldn't fear damage even if they hacked until the end of time.

"Elite Battalion, full strength of one thousand, one thousand present, reporting to the Lord!"

"Elites!"

"Invincible!!!"

Li Xu led the Elites to form a phalanx, standing next to the Black Tortoise Guards.

Coming up after that were Chen Ya's Flying Tiger Cavalry and the Blood Spirits' Vermilion Bird Guards.

Both of these were vassal legions of the Jiuzhou Territory.

This time, Chen Ya selected the best from his own legion, pulling out a scale of eight hundred people.

Most of these eight hundred people had already gained some understanding of the Azure Dragon True Intent under his leadership.

Originally, there was hope for them to complete their transformation in the second wave of the invasion, but now it seemed they could only look for opportunities in the North District.

They formed a joint legion with the Blood Spirit Guards, joining this external expedition.

And because of Chen Ya's status as a lord, he was clearer about Chen Ping's indignation than others.

There was another joint legion, listed behind Chen Ya, which was the combination of the Divine Machine Battalion and the Centaurs.

Seven hundred in the Divine Machine Battalion, three hundred Centaurs, also a thousand-man structure.

This legion would go to war with all of Jiuzhou's heavy weapons, and the war machines had already been packed and placed on the side.

All the residents of the Jiuzhou Territory put down their work, gathering near the Lord's Hall.

They looked proudly at their own legions, their hearts full of passion.

Even the other Tianqu Alliance leaders, seeing this military might, could not help but be moved.

Especially the Black Tortoise Guards, after changing into brand-new divine metal heavy armor, were truly awe-inspiring.

The dark golden luster unique to divine metal shimmered on the surface of the armor, making those in the know tremble incessantly.

At the main entrance of the Lord's Hall, Milan, the silver-white Qilin, and Huang Qi stood there.

Huang Qi ultimately didn't have enough time to retrieve the troops lost in the mist.

He could only participate in this expedition as an individual.

Everyone looked at Chen Ping, waiting for him to give his final speech.

And Chen Ping, looking at his magnificent legion lineup from the watchtower of the Lord's Hall, looking at the excited residents.

Looking at those lords in the Tianqu Alliance who firmly supported him.

"I don't know if my expedition this time is right."

"Perhaps I should slow down, wait until I have perfected the four Jiuzhou guards, perfected all legions, and updated all military equipment."

"Then unite with the elites of the South District, perhaps that would be the safest approach."

"Or perhaps, I should ignore the North District; this is a matter concerning all trial-takers, why should only I put in the effort?"

"Behind the North District, there might be gods involved, there might be demigods plotting."

"No matter which possibility, it is not something I can bear at the current stage."

"But!"

Chen Ping said this, he walked out from the watchtower, and the silver-white Qilin stepped into the air at the right time, catching the lord.

Riding on the silver-white Qilin, Chen Ping's gaze swept across everyone one by one.

"Say a thousand things, ten thousand things, I am not at peace!"

"This time I am selfish, I have had enough of those people hiding behind the scenes."

"I work hard to develop my territory, improve my strength, not for some 'should' or 'ought to'."

"But so that when I want to flip the table, I have the power to flip the table!"

"They treat us like grass, toying with us at will!"

"I want to tell them! Since they have entered the field, the outcome of this game, I have the final say!!!"

The silver-white Qilin let out a long roar, sparks appearing under its feet, and the Jiuzhou legions slapped their equipment in unison!

"Jiuzhou is invincible!"

"Jiuzhou is invincible!"

The shouting spread from the legion to the surroundings, first the residents followed, then the lords followed.

Chen Ping waved his hand, pointing toward the coastline.

"Everyone, wait for me to cleanse the monsters, and upon my return, I will sweep the entire region, casting the great name of Tianqu Jiuzhou!"

"We will return to the Main World in the strongest posture in history!"

The Jiuzhou legion let out a final shout, immediately setting off toward the coast.

Everyone in the Jiuzhou Territory knelt down in unison, cheering loudly, waiting for their lord to return victorious.

The Tianqu Alliance lords also knelt down one by one, shouting for a victorious return.

Chen Ping could feel that, in the dark, there was a force blessing him.

This feeling was mysterious, indescribable, but real.

If not for his basic analysis of both origin and mystery being completed, he might not have been able to feel it.

At this moment, Chen Ping no longer hesitated, riding the silver-white Qilin and stepping into the air.

The Tianqu Alliance had long since built multiple large ships on the coast.

After the legion arrived here, they boarded their respective ships.

The Black Tortoise Guards were divided into four ships to load; there was no way, the weight of the divine metal heavy armor was too abnormal.

If a thousand people were squeezed together, it was feared that only a ten-thousand-ton giant ship could bear it.

Each ship was equipped with sailors who met the basic requirements, ensuring the ships ran normally.
