Chapter 322: Full‑Scale Mobilization

"How many Black Watch are there right now?"

"I don't know, but since the army was founded, as a Conscription World with over a hundred billion people."

"Alert Star exports tens of millions of Black Watch each year."

"Under the Internal Affairs Department, the most important and primary source of work, the Military Affairs Department corridor."

"Along the wide corridor countless Servo Skulls fly by, and silent Military Affairs officials lead mechanical servitors, cloaked in robes, bowing their heads and briskly walking past."

"In the middle of these officials' passage, a multitude of mortal auxiliary troops stand upright on duty."

"At the vast central corridor, like a plaza, facing Xisi's question, Fanluosi can only give an approximate figure."

"Luojia was busy delivering Great Demon Blessings, so Xisi temporarily reassigned Fanluosi to handle his daily duties."

"Even as Fanluosi admitted he didn't know, Xisi felt an inexplicable emotion welling up inside him."

"Although these Black Watch are not personally commanded by him, their predecessors and instructors were almost all the Thousand-battle Veterans Xisi personally cultivated back then."

"Even many veterans who have become Black Gold Forbidden Army also frequently return to Alert Star to train new recruits."

"Combined with powerful faith support and full cooperation from the Mechanical Church, Empire resources are tilted."

"The Black Watch produced by Alert Star not only matches Krig in sheer numbers but also outshines them in quality."

"Even within the brief time Xisi and Fanluosi were talking, the surrounding Terra Auxiliary Forces, whose eyes were above the top, couldn't help but glance over when they heard the words 'Black Watch'."

"Xisi gave a casual glance and saw unmistakable admiration in their eyes."

"Several Terra Auxiliary Forces who previously bowed to no one stood even more upright."

"Their attitude was even more respectful than towards Xisi."

"After all, as the First Saint, the probability that your prayers yield anything is almost none."

"But if a Black Watch unit happens to pass nearby and you request aid, there's a high chance you'll see a swarm of black‑armored maniacs performing an orbit airdrop for you!"

"\"Although Alert Star suffered heavy losses in the latest Spirit‑Driving Dead Zone campaign. \""

"\"But previously, the Black Watch possessed strong faith, top‑tier quality, and full backing from the Ustali Mechanical Church of Huangquan No. 8. \""

"\"The once scarce fully enclosed combat suits are now available one per person. \""

"\"Individual weapons have all been upgraded to heat‑shot Rifles. \""

"\"If one must describe the Black Watch loosely, they're like Krig's morale plus numbers, combined with Kashen's individual quality, and finally bearing the equipment of a 'Nobility Army'. \""

"\"And the junior officers leading this unit are uniformly comparable to Loyal‑Descendant Stormtroopers. \""

"Fanluosi gave a brief introduction; he didn't compare individual quality to 'Katachang'—after all, while Katachang is indeed ridiculously strong, its combat conditions have significant limitations, and its effectiveness drops sharply outside jungle warfare."

"Thus Fanluosi likened individual quality to Kashen, the most versatile human elite."

"Of course, whether Kashen or Katachang, their numbers can never be large, let alone compare with Krig."

"Krig can, in a single charge, dispatch a million‑strong surge army without blinking."

"Fanluosi meant that the Black Watch has already begun treating elites like Kashen as if Krig had exploded!"

"Not to mention that even the lowest‑rank officers are at the level of a single‑water Loyal‑Descendant force."

"What level is the Loyal‑Descendant force? Historically they appear in units counted by 'individuals', rarely reaching double digits."

"Now, facing the Black Watch, they are merely at the junior officer level."

"No wonder that when the Terra Auxiliary Forces heard Xisi utter the words 'Black Watch', they immediately cast respectful glances."

"Xisi never expected that while he was busy firefighting, his original legion had unknowingly progressed to this extent."

"He recalled the mobilization order he previously issued, rallying the Black Watch to assemble under his title as legion founder, and felt some anticipation for the forthcoming scene."

"Fanluosi, observing Xisi's slight emotional shift, read the situation well and gave Xisi a morale boost."

"\"Although Black Watch usually only appear on Revelation‑level battlefields. \""

"\"But any Black Watch‑deployed legion is almost always well‑structured. \""

"\"So theoretically, unlike Krig, the Black Watch's total numbers are hardly negligible. \""

"\"The Black Watch's total strength has been steadily rising over the years. \""

"\"In other words... Sir, if your Black Watch were to fully assemble, the scale might be rather unexpected. \""

"Fanluosi's words indeed made Xisi's eyes brighten; he had only been thinking of concentrating forces to give Terra a proper strike."

"As an elite unit, the Black Watch can exert a certain effect in individual war zones, since their numbers are limited."

"But now, from this implication, the Black Watch might even directly shoulder the legion's main duties?"

"\"Are they too fierce? Hence they die less? \""

"Xisi couldn't help his curiosity, and Fanluosi, upon hearing it, gave a wry smile and shook his head:"

"\"The Black Watch are indeed elite, but if they only go to Revelation, no matter how fierce, can mortal flesh withstand a Light Spear? \""

"Fanluosi paused at that point, because Xisi also froze upon hearing it."

"Fanluosi's complexion turned strange as he recalled that during the Ustali incident, Xisi actually braved a Light Spear, and it was of battleship‑cruiser class!"

"\"Um, at least under normal circumstances, mortals cannot resist a Light Spear. \""

"\"The Black Watch's consistently intact organization stems from your earlier conscription principles, which have continually influenced them. \""

"\"Thus after each war, the Black Watch recruit elite survivors who lived through Revelation, striving to keep their structure complete. \""

"\"Therefore your Black Watch have not diminished; on the contrary, many in their ranks are veterans who have survived one, even two or three Revelations! \""

"Fanluosi said this and even he was a bit tongue‑tied."

"Xisi also froze for a moment, his face showing flashes of shock."

"This isn't a case of him personally leading amplified combat; these new‑generation Black Watch survived entirely on their own."

"Thus the legion Xisi is about to witness is the galaxy‑wide legion with the most Revelation veterans, and such a legion continues to be replenished from Alert Star!"

"Soon, as the command light appeared ahead, a massive door was forcefully pushed open by the awaiting mechanical servitors on both sides."

"Sunlight from outside poured in, and Xisi saw a scene of Aolake docked on the Orbit."

And behind Aolake…

The boundless, limitless Empire fleet sea!
