Chapter 339: Prologue to the Expedition

Di Leina did not hesitate and immediately stated her request.

"When you attack Lieyang, could you... please not strike anyone other than Pan Zhen? They are innocent."

After hearing this, Ye Cang did not agree immediately, but instead asked Di Leina.

"Why do you suddenly have this request?"

"Do I look like someone who is bloodthirsty?"

"No... you don't," Di Leina said in a low voice. "Because just now, after you saw Pan Zhen, you brought up things from 1,400 years ago, and I was afraid that you..."

Di Leina's voice grew quieter and quieter, until it finally faded away.

Ye Cang suddenly realized.

So that was it; at that time, Di Leina heard him settling old scores and thought he would use the events of 1,400 years ago as an excuse, fearing that once he went to Lieyang, he would start a massacre, killing anyone he saw regardless of who they were.

"So that's it," Ye Cang said. "Rest assured, I will not lay a hand on the common people of Lieyang."

"The events of 1,400 years ago were not the fault of the Lieyang people."

"As for the civil and military officials, that will depend on the situation; Pan Zhen is the Regent, you should understand that."

Ye Cang's guarantee made Di Leina heave a sigh of relief.

She trusted Ye Cang.

Ye Cang's reputation and character were quite good in her eyes.

Soon, the warship returned to Earth.

After the warship landed, Ye Cang had Di Leina and Kaisha transfer to the Space Fortress, while he himself headed straight for the old man.

Going to Lieyang was such a major matter that he had to tell the old man and hear his opinion.

A moment later, Ye Cang arrived at the old man's office.

After briefly telling the old man that he was going to Lieyang to help Di Leina reclaim it, Ye Cang sat there quietly, waiting for the old man's opinion.

To Ye Cang's surprise, the old man did not offer any opinion; he simply patted his shoulder.

"Xiao Cang, stay safe. I will wait for your triumphant return on Earth."

After speaking, the old man slowly raised his hand toward Ye Cang and gave a salute.

Ye Cang raised his head and returned the salute.

Afterwards, he left the office and headed straight for the Space Fortress.

On the way to the Space Fortress, Ye Cang issued orders to the Five Great Legions.

"Qi Lin Legion, draw 1,000 men to assemble at the Space Fortress. The commanders of the other 4 legions are to each draw 10,000 men to assemble at the Space Fortress together. Remember, I want the most elite soldiers in the legions."

"I solemnly tell you all: this time we will leave the Solar System, head to Lieyang in the Tiandao Galaxy, and begin a war against Lieyang!"

"This will be the first step of our Expedition! It is also the prologue to the Expedition! I hope you all prepare yourselves!"

After finishing his words, Ye Cang transformed into a Quantum State and instantly returned to the Space Fortress.

Next, it was time to wait.

Waiting for the people from the five legions to finish assembling.

The commander of the Qi Lin Legion, Qi Lin, immediately drew the 1,000 most elite Super Soldiers from the legion and headed to the Space Fortress to assemble.

The commanders of the Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger legions were also moving quickly.

Only on the side of the Qinglong Legion did a small accident occur.

"Commander, just give me a chance!" Liu Chuang stood in front of Qing Long, looking aggrieved.

"Last time I was left to guard Earth, and the time before that I was also left to guard Earth. I've already guarded it twice; this time, let me go, Commander!"

"This time we're going to Lieyang! If it were any other place, I wouldn't be fighting for it like this!"

But Qing Long shook his head and refused Liu Chuang.

"Chuangzi, you really cannot go!"

"Don't overthink it; it's not that I don't trust you. It's mainly because among the current Five Great Legions, aside from the 5 commanders, your strength is considered second to none."

"I feel at ease with you guarding Earth. If you really feel too stifled, I'll give you leave, how about that!"

Qing Long's words made Liu Chuang unable to help but go crazy.

"Ah, Commander, Commander Qi Lin isn't going this time either. Him guarding Earth alone is enough. With his strength, to put it bluntly, anyone he can't handle, I can't handle either!"

What Liu Chuang said was indeed a fact, but Qing Long really did not want to let Liu Chuang go.

He scratched his head and looked at Liu Chuang's current appearance.

Finally, Qing Long sighed.

"Alright, alright, put away that mournful face!"

"I'll let you go, is that okay!"

Upon hearing that Qing Long was letting him go, Liu Chuang immediately became happy.

A moment later, the Qinglong Legion finished assembling and headed straight for the Space Fortress.

It took a total of half an hour for the Five Great Legions to assemble at the Space Fortress.

After everyone had finished assembling.

Ye Cang directly activated the Space Fortress, arrived in the Universe, and then activated a Wormhole, heading straight for Lieyang.

The route to Lieyang was provided by Di Leina. On the way to Lieyang, Di Leina would occasionally provide extra energy to the Space Fortress, increasing its speed significantly.

About three days later, the Space Fortress arrived within the Tiandao Galaxy.

As soon as they entered the Tiandao Galaxy, everyone on the Space Fortress saw half a planet not far away.

The sight of this half-planet shocked everyone.

Except for Ye Cang and the others, of course.

At this moment, the half-planet was still rotating slowly, its side extremely smooth, as if the planet had been born as only half a planet.

Liu Chuang looked at the planet that only had half left and muttered to himself, "Oh my goodness, this must be Na Jie's home, Lieyang."

"Good grief, was the previous Nuo Star God of War really that fierce? Could he really split half a planet with one swing of his axe?"

"I thought it was just a joke!"

Liu Chuang's muttering was not quiet, and Qing Long, who was not far away, heard it clearly.

After hearing Liu Chuang's words, Qing Long came to Liu Chuang's side.

"Splitting a planet with one axe, what is there to be surprised about?" Qing Long said with a calm expression.

After hearing this, Liu Chuang said without turning his head, "Commander, do you mean that you can also split one with a single sword strike?"

"I cannot," Qing Long said. "But the Chief Engineer can."

Immediately, Qing Long began to recount what had happened when he went to the Triangle Body Civilization galaxy.

"When the Chief Engineer was at the Triangle Body Civilization that time, he destroyed four planets in a row, one of which was a Sun. Isn't that more impressive than the previous Nuo Star God of War?"

Liu Chuang shook his head.

"Commander, that is different."

"The Chief Engineer used a Star-Extinguishing Weapon, a Light Particle."

"But the previous Nuo Star God of War used this Black Axe in my hand, and he relied solely on his own strength."

"Commander, do you understand what I mean?" Liu Chuang paused and continued.

"It's like this: you feel it's normal to fly in the sky by airplane, but if one day you can fly into the sky yourself, that feeling is completely different from sitting in an airplane."

Qing Long naturally understood the meaning behind Liu Chuang's words.
