Chapter 699 - 684: The Military Parade Ceremony

Sponsored

A major announcement has erupted in Order.

Chen Feng is preparing to hold another grand military parade in Order. Compared to the last parade, this one features a qualitative improvement in both scale and equipment. More importantly, this time, honors will be awarded to meritorious individuals, including not only wealth and glory but even Extraordinary Weapons!

Extraordinary Weapons!

This is the newly coined name for a type of weapon, and the creator is an Enchanter who has recently advanced to the Golden Tier!

Chen Feng has not solely allocated resources to the warriors. Over a year and a half, resources have also been used to enhance auxiliary professionals!

Today, the population of Order has surpassed a million, governing an area spanning over ten thousand miles of land and sea. It’s no exaggeration to say that every day, amazing resources are stored in warehouses. With these resources and individual talent, it’s natural to cultivate some powerful Golden Tier individuals.

Li Siyu is one of these auxiliary professionals. As the High Priest of the Church, she can be considered Chen Feng’s representative. With an astonishing amount of resource supplementation, she has not disappointed, strengthening the power of light ceremonies. The number of participants in the prayer ceremonies she oversees is always calculated in tens of thousands.

Moreover, an Enchanter named Jiang Sheng has stood out among countless auxiliary professionals. Compared to those surviving who lost loved ones, he is undoubtedly lucky. During the apocalypse, his entire family happened to be shopping in an underground supermarket. With few staff and no one undergoing mutations, they managed to survive on the supermarket’s food until Order was established.

As someone favored by the goddess of fortune, he not only enjoys family reunions but also awakens as an Enchanter, capable of using power to attach monster blood to items and forging weapons with elemental enhancements.

It’s perhaps related to his profession. Jiang Sheng was a somewhat famous tattoo artist during peacetime, allowing him to better explore the fine lines of enchantments. With the accumulation of countless resources, he did not disappoint and became a revered Golden Tier strongman.

Compared to previous Enchanted Weapons, which only included some monster blood to catalyze the weapons, after advancing to the Golden Tier, Jiang Sheng gained a new insight into enchantments. Through numerous studies, he finally created a new type of equipment—

Extraordinary Weapons!

Different from other Enchanted Weapons, Extraordinary Weapons include some soul entities. Jiang Sheng imprisoned these souls within the weapons through enchantment. When warriors wield these weapons, they can even borrow part of the monsters’ powers to enhance themselves.

Titan Gauntlets.

The gauntlets incorporate the soul of a Titan Beetle. When a warrior activates the soul within the weapon, they can empower themselves for three minutes, increasing their strength to 1.5 times their normal power.

Earth Dragon Armor.

The soul within the armor belongs to an Earth Dragon. In extreme danger, the Earth Dragon can be summoned for defense. In experiments, it could withstand five rounds of fire from the Demon and Martial Cannon before showing slight cracks!

The emergence of Extraordinary Weapons signals the end of one era and the birth of another!

In the wake of 90% destruction of technological power, these fantasy-infused weapons are destined to steer the world toward an unpredictable path.

However, Order as a multi-element city houses numerous Dimensional Creatures, and humans have long developed a certain resilience to this change. Thus, following the appearance of Extraordinary Weapons, a frenzy broke out immediately.

Yet currently, only Jiang Sheng can create such weapons. Despite his tireless efforts, he has only managed to forge ten weapons in two months, each being priceless and only for the truly strong to obtain.

And now, Chen Feng has declared the intent to bestow Extraordinary Weapons to those who excel on the battlefield, igniting the warriors’ enthusiasm to the peak. Even if the final owner is not oneself, just glimpsing those legendary weapons is enough!

...............

The military parade was announced a month in advance, setting a new historical record with over one hundred thousand participants!

Besides human warriors, the parade also included all creatures existing within Order, meaning that goblins and tree spirits were among the participants as well.

This was a grand ceremony, and those notified of participation undoubtedly felt great honor. As such, from the moment the order was issued, participating warriors engaged in rigorous devil-style drills.

Chen Feng is not prone to arrogance, but some things must be done!

Undoubtedly, Order has grown powerful. Even though in distant places there are so-called chosen ones who subdue surrounding areas with their formidable power, forming their own factions, Chen Feng as the leader of Order can proudly look them in the eye, as Order fears no enemies from any side.

The power gathered in Order is beyond ordinary imagination. Chen Feng acts like a voracious void, constantly encroaching outward with Order as the center.

Over the past year, countless factions have gradually been convinced to join Order, even mixing in some elements of force. But everything Chen Feng does boils down to one phrase: Those who follow will flourish, those who oppose will perish.

He doesn’t mind others’ resistance, as those who dare to resist will certainly become the nourishment for Order, fueling its robust growth.

The fundamental reason for holding the military parade is to instill an [invincible] belief in the hearts of the survivors.

At certain times, the destruction of a person can come from both external and internal sources.

[Look at that person, so fat and ugly, I definitely don’t want to know her!]

[Look at that poverty-stricken appearance, coming to this mall, can you even afford it?]

[You can’t possibly succeed, you’re just a middle school graduate!]

The confidence of ordinary people is shattered in such ways. Humans are emotional creatures, and even if they fight back after receiving some insults, part of the hurt remains within.

Though the nail is pulled out of the sand, a conspicuous scar is left behind!

For the survivors of the apocalypse, they endure the same destruction. Even if they live within Order without fear of monster harassment, in the quiet corners after midnight, they still remember the moment disaster struck.

Because the shadows of those monsters have left an indelible psychological trauma in their hearts!

And now, Chen Feng’s task is to eliminate all these so-called terrors. Born in peace, why do you not fear those so-called terrorist organizations? Isn’t it because there is an incredibly strong nation behind you as support?

You are aware that the criminals will be punished!

You have faith that someone will bear the darkness for you.

You understand even more that no country dares to truly launch an invasion because behind you, there is an impossibly strong Guardian!

But all of this was shattered by the sudden apocalypse. Even if survivors have a safe haven, sleepless nights bring anxiety over whether these monsters will return to take everything they have?

What Chen Feng needs to do now is to become the Guardian in these people’s hearts again, using strong power to tell them that Order is an invincible fortress never to be defeated by enemies!

This may consume astounding wealth, but compared to the hearts gained, it is insignificant!

Before the ceremony.

In a simple household, Sea Wolf stood in front of the mirror. Looking at his slightly groomed face, he felt a few years younger.

"Alright, the food’s getting cold, how much longer are you going to take?"

Behind him, came an urging voice, yet there was no blame in it; rather a hint of laughter.

Sea Wolf straightened his back, smiled at the mirror, then hurriedly turned and said loudly, "Coming!"

One meat dish, three vegetarian dishes.

For the apocalypse environment, this counts as a relatively luxurious meal. Given the woman’s thrifty nature, she last prepared something so grand on Yang Yi’s birthday.

The woman first fed the nearby baby a few bites, then turned to see Sea Wolf sitting on the stool watching her. She raised an eyebrow and said, "What’s with the staring? Eat!" She adjusted her posture, picked up a piece of pork, and placed it in Sea Wolf’s bowl: "Today, you’re participating in the ceremony. You probably won’t have a proper meal all day, so fill up now to avoid hunger!"

"Alright!" Sea Wolf smiled even brighter, picked up his chopsticks, and dove into the feast.

Watching Sea Wolf awkwardly use his left hand to pick food, the woman’s eyes flashed a moment of sadness. Compared to the initial clumsiness of only being able to use a spoon, he was much better now.

The woman recalled his lively demeanor as a Captain before battle, now turned into a retired Warrior missing a right arm. Tears welled slightly in her eyes, and she couldn’t help but ask, "Do you regret it?"

Sea Wolf’s body trembled slightly but quickly returned to normal. He looked up, without any hint of regret in his eyes. He simply looked into the woman’s eyes, chuckling, "The leaders told us wounded disabled folks that Order will not forget us. We are the cost for the city’s survivors. We are heroes; we saved everyone!"

The man paused for a moment, carefully picked up his chopsticks, also picking a piece of meat and placing it in the woman’s bowl, his voice softening: "At that time, I thought, I can’t control others, but for you, for the child’s safety, losing an arm is quite worthwhile..."

This was originally a joking remark. The woman couldn’t help but laugh lightly after hearing it, but the next moment, tears couldn’t be held back anymore, sliding down her cheeks.

This was perhaps the most weighty love declaration she’d ever heard in her life...
