Chapter 405: Expedition (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In a private room at a restaurant in Green Cloud City, a handful of individuals donned their representative attire. On the wine table before them, White Jade Lotus Wine bottles exuded a distinct and enticing fragrance. “Old beggar, it seems you’ve been doing well for the past two years.” A man in a Daoist robe said to Hong Qigong with a smile.
“Why? Why wouldn’t I wear new clothes when I have them? Hmph.”
Hong Qigong glanced at the bearded Wang Chongyang and couldn’t help but snort.
“Hahaha, beggars aren’t welcome in the dynasty. The term ‘beggar’ has nearly vanished!”
One of them sported a white Daoist robe with white sideburns framing his face. A black and white taichi symbol adorned his chest.
This person was Zhang Sanfeng.
After joining the Green Lotus Dynasty, within a short period, their Wudang Sect could rival the Beggar’s Sect, Quanzhen Sect, and others. Their strength even surpassed that of Wang Chongyang and his peers.
“Old Zhang, others might be afraid of you, but I’m not!”
Hong Qigong gazed at Zhang Sanfeng in disbelief. Despite his fairy-like appearance, Zhang Sanfeng’s words had managed to evoke a strong dislike in him.
“Alright, everyone.”
At that moment, a voice sounded. Everyone looked at the man in black who carried a huge sword on his back.
“Dugu Qiubai, did the Martial Arts Tower have an important mission for you to ask us out this time?”
Lin Chaoying was dressed in a Red Robe. She looked at Dugu Qiubai, who had restrained his aura and asked.
Under Lin Chaoying’s guidance, the Ancient Tomb School, though not boasting a large number of disciples, comprised individuals clad in white who seemed like ethereal beings. Within the Martial Arts Tower, they stood out as distinctive and unique.
Most importantly, her two disciples were not weak either.
One was Xiao Longnu, and the other was Li Mochou.
The two girls had long entered the Transcendent realm, and they had many suitors in the martial arts sects.
“That’s right.”
“Mr. Guo sent a message that the Green Lotus Dynasty will attack the depths of No Man’s Land soon. The various martial sects have to be prepared.” Dugu Qiubai’s eyes remained calm, devoid of any discernible aura. Yet, his words resonated like thunder in the ears of everyone at the table.
“Are we finally going to attack?”
A strange look flashed across Zhang Sanfeng’s eyes. Ever since he joined the Green Lotus Dynasty, he had understood this world quite a bit.
The magical treasures, the many foreign races, and the endless path were all telling him the future.
“Once this matter is settled, the Martial Arts Tower will also issue missions. Therefore, shortly, the contribution points for missions will increase by 20%.”
“Increase by 20%?”
When Hong Qigong heard this, his eyes lit up. “My Beggar’s Sect agrees to this matter.”
Hong Qigong agreed without any hesitation.
“Quanzhen Sect will also take note.” Wang Chongyang nodded.
“Okay.”
Dugu Qiubai nodded subtly. His invitation aimed to ensure that no one would feel slighted over a minor issue.
After all, this time was different from the past in the depths of No Man’s Land.
Not only would the soldiers be deployed but the Martial Arts Tower would also carry out unique missions in the depths of No Man’s Land.
For example, decapitation, destruction, and other missions.
As Guo Jia disseminated the news, the Green Lotus Dynasty maintained a calm exterior, yet beneath the surface, it appeared to be consolidating strength across the mainland, poised to erupt at any moment.
After all, the dynasty had been silent for two years. It was time for everyone to see it.
Three days later.
Most of the officials of the dynasty were gathered in the Green Cloud Palace.
“Your Majesty, all departments are ready!”
Guo Jia was wearing an official uniform and had a serious expression on his face. He cupped his hands at Mei Changge and asked.
“Let’s move out!”
Mei Changge’s expression was calm as he said softly.
“Zhong Kang, Lu Shan!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Xu Chu and a burly man more than 6 feet tall walked out of the crowd with excited expressions.
Lu Shan was a general of the Mandrill Guards. Although he was slightly weaker than Xu Chu, his strength could not be underestimated.
“Do the two of you dare to be the vanguard?”
Mei Changge’s gaze landed on the two of them and he asked solemnly.
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
The two of them knelt on one knee and shouted with serious expressions.
Their voices echoed in the hall.
In the crowd, Song Yubai and the other soldiers looked at the two of them enviously.
While their strength was commendable, the soldiers under their command fell slightly short compared to the prowess of the Golden Crow Guards and the Mandrill Guards.
“Sure!”
“For this expedition, the two of you will be the vanguard.”
“Feng Xiao is the military advisor overseeing all matters related to this expedition! He holds the Green Lotus Token, and seeing the token is equivalent to seeing me.”
Mei Changge looked at Guo Jia again and nodded slightly at him. Then, he threw a token to Guo Jia.
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Guo Jia took the token with both hands and bowed to Mei Changge.
“The rest of the soldiers will listen to Feng Xiao’s commands!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Song Yubai, Yan Zhen, Li Xiang, and the others replied loudly. Although they had lost their position as the vanguard, it did not mean that they did not have a chance to go on stage.
Moreover, they also understood that they would at least fight two foreign races in this war. Their chances of making contributions were very high.
“All departments in the dynasty have to focus on this war.”
Mei Changge looked at Huang Yaoshi, Zhao Decai, Xu Changqing, and the others.
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Everyone replied excitedly. After all, they had prepared for this war for two years. It was time to raise the name of the Green Lotus.
As the arrangements were completed, many departments began to operate at full capacity.
Like a war robot that had been silent for a long time, it began to operate.
In the Creation Workshop, cannons were placed into spatial bags one after another. A large number of Flame Summits were also taken out.
Green Cloud Pavilion, Registry Hall, and so on were not combat divisions, but they were also preparing in advance for the territory they were about to attack.
For example, the selection of officials and the dispatch of the population were all things they needed to do.
On the other side, Xu Chu and Lu Shan gathered the Golden Crow Guards and the Mandrill Guards.
A hundred thousand soldiers gathered together.
Many of them had successfully entered the Transcendent realm, and most of them were at Innate Level 9 or above.
Of course, this was only the beginning.
There were more than 100,000 soldiers in the entire Green Lotus Dynasty.
Song Yubai, Lin Zifeng, and the other generals gathered the Mystic Yang soldiers, the Red Lotus soldiers, and so on. They were prepared at any time.
The number of soldiers was more than 10 times that of the Golden Crow Guards.
Outside Green Cloud City.
Guo Jia’s expression was solemn. He was wearing the official uniform of the 9 Green Lotuses and holding the Green Lotus Token as he stood on a high platform.
“Golden Crow Guards, Mandrill Guards, listen up!”
“Yes!”
Xu Chu and Lu Shan were wearing Dao armor exclusive to the soldiers. Weapons hung from their waists as they took a step forward and replied respectfully.
“Golden Crow Guards, take on the Demon Bug race!”
“Mandrill Guards, the Beaming race is yours!”
“As the vanguards, the other soldiers will appear on the battlefield after you!”
“Are you ready?”
Guo Jia said to Xu Chu and Lu Shan with a serious expression. “We will ensure the name of the Green Lotus spreads across No Man’s Land!”
“Green Lotus will set forth, and the foreign races will bow down!”
The two of them shouted with serious expressions.
“Your Majesty, please descend the door of light!”
When Guo Jia heard Xu Chu and the soldiers’ roars, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. Then, he bent down and said to the sky.
“Let’s move out!”
A dignified voice sounded in everyone’s ears. Then, a huge door of light appeared in front of everyone.
“Soldiers, this is where we will make contributions! Let’s go!”
When Guo Jia saw the appearance of the door of light, he shouted at Xu Chu and the other soldiers below. Even though he was a scholar, his blood couldn’t help but surge at that moment.contemporary romance
“Golden Crow Guards, follow me!”
“Mandrill Guards, come with me!”
Xu Chu and Lu Shan looked at the soldiers behind them with determination in their eyes and stepped into the door of light.
On the other side of the door of light was the Green Lotus Great Wall.
As for Guo Jia, he bowed to the sky and put away the Green Lotus Token. A book quietly appeared in his hand.
A scholarly aura quietly bloomed on Guo Jia’s body.
Guo Jia also left through the door of light, leaving behind a huge door of light. It did not disappear with Guo Jia.
“Dark Northern race and Celestial Feather race?” Green Cloud Palace.
Mei Changge sat on the throne, deep in thought. Below, the four of them stood quietly in the hall.
“Boss?”
Ye Yan said to Mei Changge curiously.
“Hmm?”
When Mei Changge heard Ye Yan’s voice, he could not help but stop thinking.
Then, he looked at Ye Yan and the others.
“Are you going deep into No Man’s Land?”
Mei Changge looked at the four people in front of him and asked..
