Chapter 2867 - 2870: Expedition
This night, many people couldn’t sleep, keeping their eyes open until the break of dawn the next day.
"All troops assemble!"
A loud shout echoed above the Canglan Army camp.
Swish, swish, swish!
Countless silhouettes flew out from the tents, quickly forming groups of ten thousand each.
Jiang Chen opened his eyes, glanced at the gathered Canglan Army, and shook his head slightly.
"What’s wrong?"
Tang Jie looked at Jiang Chen in confusion. Why shake his head all of a sudden?
"The Canglan Army has been at ease for too long. Most who arrived this time are new soldiers, and even with veteran leadership from before, they’re lacking a sense of urgency on the battlefield. Look at them, it’s been thirty seconds since the assembly order was given, and they still haven’t finished assembling."
Jiang Chen sighed, "Such an army might not be able to keep up with our pace!"
Tang Jie and the others’ eyes flickered. After observing the Canglan Army’s assembly carefully, they all fell silent.
The formation was loose, the attributes unbalanced. Although it assembled in large square formations, what Tang Jie and the others saw was a fragmented camp.
Swish!
Several figures leaped to Jiang Chen and the others. Si Wencheng looked at Jiang Chen complicatedly and said softly, "The battle is about to commence. I won’t obstruct you. The Canglan Army will fully cooperate with you, but now there’s a problem at hand."
"Problem?"
Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow.
"Go to the front lines, you’ll understand immediately!"
Si Wencheng didn’t offer more explanation.
Jiang Chen nodded, turned, and shouted, "Assemble!"
Whoosh!
Over ten thousand people shot into the sky, their formidable battle spirit reaching the clouds!
"Seven Prince, look at the Blade Legion, then look at the Canglan Army. What are your thoughts?"
Yue Muchen seized the opportunity to speak.
He still hoped for the Canglan Army to be better, but Si Wencheng’s conversation yesterday indeed hurt Jiang Chen. That remark, ’When are you leaving the Canglan Continent,’ directly weakened Jiang Chen’s sense of belonging to Canglan Continent significantly!
This was something everyone could see. Although Jiang Chen didn’t say anything, last night’s melancholy was noticeable to all.
Si Wencheng looked up at the imposing Blade Legion, then at the Canglan Army, and fell into silence.
"Jiang Chen, after this battle, help us lead forces!"
Si Huang’er spoke softly, her eyes filled with hope as she looked at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen glanced at Si Huang’er and shook his head gently, "After this battle, I fear I must go to the Integration Realm Domain!"
"To the Integration Realm Domain? You’re heading there as soon as you break through?"
Si Huang’er looked at Jiang Chen in surprise, her face full of astonishment.
"Little Princess, haven’t you seen clearly yet?"
Jiang Chen cast Si Wencheng a glance, "Seven Prince should know, right? The Extraterritorial Battlefield is about to merge into one. By that time, those below the Integration Realm will be forcibly removed from here. Without Integration Realm Peak strength, they probably won’t be allowed to stay.
Both the Divine Infant Realm Domain and the Virtual Refinement Realm are just training grounds. The true decider of the Extraterritorial Battlefield’s war direction is still the battle at the Unity Realm Stage!"
"What!?"
Si Huang’er and the others’ faces changed, all looking at Si Wencheng.
Si Wencheng’s eyes flickered as he sighed lightly, looking at Jiang Chen with a complex gaze, "I didn’t expect you to see so clearly!"
Taking a deep breath, a trace of admiration appeared in Si Wencheng’s eyes, "Jiang Chen, you’re a person worthy of respect. If it weren’t for the fact that my third brother and I were born of the same mother and can’t choose otherwise, perhaps we could become true friends!"
"Forget it."
Jiang Chen smiled lightly, "I can become friends with the Little Princess. Even though she is close to the Crown Prince, even the Crown Prince deliberately distances her from the heir disputes. You other princes, except the Second Prince, don’t have this entanglement. Once we become friends, it inevitably means getting involved, and I don’t want to get entangled in such disputes."
The crowd fell silent again upon hearing this, not even asking about the Domain merger issue. After all, Jiang Chen had again touched on a sensitive topic, and even intentionally changing the topic could be misinterpreted at this time.
However, there was one person without such scruples.
"Jiang Chen, make it clear, what do you mean by training grounds?"
Si Huang’er frowned, looking at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen glanced at the stretched Canglan Army beside him and spoke softly, "Little Princess, if I led the Blade Legion to charge at the Canglan Army, what do you think the outcome would be?"
"The Blade Legion would be annihilated!"
Si Huang’er said softly, "The Blade Legion is powerful, but after all, they are too few in number. The Canglan Army’s five million troops could overwhelm and kill them just by sheer numbers!"
"Haha!"
Jiang Chen chuckled lightly, "After this battle, think about how you should answer that question!"
Swish!
With his words, Jiang Chen soared into the sky and shouted, "Blades drawn!"
"Kill!"
The ten thousand strong Blade Legion roared fiercely.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
Waves of surging killing intent shot into the sky in an instant, forcing Si Wencheng and others to retreat by a hundred meters, staring in astonishment at the Blade Legion.
Under that loud shout, the momentum of the Blade Legion surged by another thirty percent, and it seemed as if the aura of tens of thousands of people had merged into one!
"Someone said that your charge into a formation of five hundred thousand would be annihilated. What’s your opinion?"
Jiang Chen turned to the Blade Legion.
"Kill them all!"
The Blade Legion shouted loudly, an overwhelming Evil Qi erupting madly, blotting out the sky!
"Today, the Blade Legion sets out, determined not to return until a million enemies are slain!"
"Determined not to return!"
The earth-shattering shouts echoed throughout the Canglan Army camp, changing the expression of everyone in the Canglan Army.
"Vanguard Army, charge with all your might, Canglan Army, charge with all your might. No matter what formation the enemy sets up, no matter the arrangement of the enemy, my Blade Legion will press forward relentlessly, never halting before the formation. We will charge directly into the enemy camp. If you can’t keep up, then join the Vanguard Army. On the battlefield, cowards are not needed. Without the heart to fight to the death, you don’t deserve to wear this military armor!"
Jiang Chen shouted fiercely, "Vanguard Army, carry out the military orders, charge with all your might, target the enemy front line, charge. Anyone who hesitates, be executed without mercy!"
"Kill!"
The Blade Legion shouted fiercely, a fierce killing intent locking onto the over forty thousand strong Vanguard Army, the Blood Fiend Aura instantly enveloping the Vanguard Army.
"Charge!"
"Hurry up!"
The entire Vanguard Army immediately felt a chilling sensation throughout their bodies, cursing Jiang Chen as a madman in their hearts, yet their bodies rushed swiftly towards the front line.
"Jiang Chen, you can’t charge directly, they..."
Si Wencheng’s face changed, urgently speaking up.
