I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

"Swish!"

Wide wings unfolded from the backs of Xiwat General’s deputies. It was only when they personally experienced the presence of these Energy Wings that they truly believed what Zhang Menglong had said.

For these Transcenders, the existence of such wings can greatly enhance their flying speed, and for those Beginners, these wings can genuinely enable them to fly into the sky by their own power!

Moreover, maintaining the existence of these Purple Cloud Wings does not require consuming much of their own energy. Even those Beginners can rely on the Purple Cloud Wings to soar in the sky effortlessly for one to two hours!

The most terrifying thing is, once those Beginners have the ability to fly, even among Second-class soldiers, First-class soldiers, and Elite Soldiers, there will be a stark difference in combat power. From then on, their Beginners can easily defeat those Beginners of the Hongteng Kingdom through the aerial advantage!

For a moment, they were filled with anticipation for this war. They had already imagined the scene of millions of warriors with Purple Cloud Wings overwhelming the front lines of the Hongteng Empire, and seemed to have seen the shock and despair in the eyes of the enemy.

"Now I will teach you the method to cultivate the Purple Cloud Wings," Zhang Menglong said. "First, pass this method to those Elite Soldiers, then we expand it to the First-class and Second-class soldiers. Give them some time to familiarize themselves with this flying ability, and I think within half a month, they will initially possess the aerial combat ability!"

...

The entire camp suddenly became extremely busy. To prevent enemy espionage through various methods, they classified this operation as top secret, even hollowing out the interiors of several surrounding mountains for the warriors to train.

With several million people, reducing by just about one-tenth wouldn’t attract too much attention from the enemy. They might even send some squads to feign attacks, creating an illusion that they are actively seeking solutions, but so far have had no effective offensive measures.

But who would have guessed that a strong aerial corps had already quietly formed within those mountain interiors.

...

Half a month passed quietly. In the Hongteng Kingdom’s war room, a group of people was discussing the next developments of this war.

The main general of the Hongteng Empire was named Monteli, also a second-tier Transcender. He was an old rival of General Xiwat, having faced off against him more times than he had spent with his family.

"General, they tried another probing attack today, but we’ve repelled them once again. It seems they have no effective means to threaten us."

"Hahaha, fortunately, our Empire’s ancestors had foresight and took this Duankeng City. Whether attacking or defending, we can rely on this terrain for strategic deployments. No matter how aggressively they attack, what can they do against us?"

"But I heard another Transcender has emerged in the Mansha Empire, even rising from a slave background. In that battle, we could have gained an advantage with our aerial support troops, but that damned slave turned the tide, forcing us to retreat to this Duankeng City."

"This has been confirmed. A Transcender did emerge in their Slave Camp," General Monteli said. "But you needn’t worry. Even so, our number of Transcenders is evenly matched. Them gaining an advantage in peak combat strength is impossible."

"But General, how will this war ultimately unfold?" a Deputy General asked. "Now, we can only rely on this geographical advantage to hold fast. We can’t advance any further."

"Hahaha," General Monteli laughed. "Your appetites are even bigger than mine. The Mansha Empire has grown up and is no longer the weak nation anyone could easily take a bite out of. Retaking those cities is unlikely. Even if achievable, it would be at too great a cost, offering other watchful nations an opportunity."

"The General is right, we can’t just focus on immediate gains."

General Monteli continued, "Our bottom line is just to stand firmly on these two cities. Those cities taken back by them are just worthless lands with no significant economic or strategic value to us, not worth taking back. We only need to reinforce our defense."

"And they even think they can reclaim those national treasures from us, utterly laughable," General Monteli chuckled. "In history, victors always claim the spoils. Those items, as our trophies, can’t just be taken back because they demand it, hahahaha!"

"The General is right, hahahaha, they’re too naive. Even with the Qinglan Empire backing them, behind us stand major powers too."

"Have no fear, General. Our Void Thunder System is fully deployed. Their aerial forces are almost voided. Only those few Transcenders can pass through the Void Thunder Array, but with just a few, they’d be walking into a trap!"

"Beep, beep, beep!"

Suddenly, an alarm sounded throughout the military base.

"They’re coming again?" a Deputy General impatiently stood up. "This past month, they’ve sent several teams daily to harass us without launching real attacks, utterly wasting our energy and time!"

"No, that’s not it," another Deputy General said. "This alarm isn’t for a regular enemy attack! It should be a large scale enemy assault - have they gone mad?"

"Maybe after failing to breach us, they want a last stand?"

"Let’s go, see for ourselves!"

...

Outside Duankeng City, numerous Mansha Kingdom warships hovered in the sky, packed with the densely arrayed Mansha Kingdom warriors, imposing and hovering just outside the Void Thunder Array area.

A huge projection appeared in the sky, it was General Xiwat of the Mansha Kingdom.

"Monteli, my old friend is here, why not come and chat a bit? Is this how the Hongteng Kingdom treats its guests?"

Moments later, General Monteli’s body projection also appeared above the skies of the Hongteng Kingdom. "Xiwat, long time no see. What’s this, bringing so many people today, you plan to lead them to their deaths?"

Monteli was very confident in his Void Thunder Array. Unless they had tenfold more warships, it was impossible to breach in.

"To their deaths?" Xiwat chuckled and shook his head. "Limont, we’re quite familiar by now. Actually, I’ve come to give you a chance. If you leave these two cities now with your men, I’ll spare you. But if my men capture them, the outcome won’t be as light!"
