"Pay no mind, we only have four hours. After four hours, we need to return to the real world to rest, and before meeting with the Commander tomorrow, we will take the Lanxing Domain!" The general of the human army, holding a long saber, commanded his hundred thousand soldiers mounted on war wolves.
He was Zhou Ningdong, a great general of the Dragon Palace, and the hundred thousand strong army he led was 'Stinger'.
"During these four hours, our purpose is singular: to kill and to plunder! Wherever we go, kill any alien race on sight! Destroy any building we encounter! Do you understand!" Zhou Ningdong's voice boomed through the army.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The roars of over a hundred thousand voices and the shouts from the City Lord's mansion were in perfect harmony.
"Damn it, these humans are like devils! Even we, known as the most ferocious demons in the cosmos, feel like innocent and kind sheep in front of them. But this kind of wanton slaughter, damn it, suits my taste perfectly, though I don't know why I feel a pang of regret." A grumbling voice came from a figure covered in black demonic energy at the forefront of the army.
"Heh heh... it's rare to see Young Master Xuanyuan speak like this. However, this humble maiden must remind you, these humans are only killing members of the Dark Race. Even the Master doesn't feel sorry, so why are you?" A flirtatious laugh came from beside the demon, revealing Ji Wumei's enchanting face amidst several swaying large tails.
"Heh heh, woman... this is the Master's future foundation, the starting point for his dominion over the Eight Divine Cities. The larger the population, the better," Xuanyuan scoffed at Ji Wumei.
"Shut up! Are the Master's decisions something you two can discuss?!" The figure encased in black armor at the very front suddenly stopped, and the hundred thousand troops behind him also halted.
"General An, why have we stopped?" Zhou Ningdong, seeing the army halt, quickly spurred his wolf forward.
"General Zhou, it's nothing. Continue!" An Chengyu replied to Zhou Ningdong, then cast a deep look at the two before turning and continuing on horseback.
However, that single glance sent shivers down Xuanyuan and Ji Wumei's spines, leaving them pale.
"See, the Master is angry. We should just follow obediently. Whether it's the Master or the Master's Master, they will have arrangements. We just need to do our part!" Ji Wumei's smile vanished, replaced by a mature coldness.
Yet, a spark of fervor could be seen deep within her eyes.
Ever since An Chengyu became Ye Yun's general, they had witnessed his rise step by step!
It could be said that An Chengyu had now reached a height they could hardly attain, a height even their own father could not compare to.
Especially after they personally saw An Chengyu instantly kill a general of the Immortal Race who had been famous for hundreds of thousands of years, they could no longer suppress their inner stirrings and bowed at his feet, becoming disciples under Ye Yun's generals.
They had originally wanted to become Ye Yun's generals as well, but Ye Yun had simply not given them that opportunity. To Ye Yun, four-star generals were not worth cultivating extensively. If not for the curiosity of his first encounter with generals, he probably wouldn't have even accepted An Chengyu.
However, after Ye Yun drew the Legion Manifestation Card, he paid more attention to An Chengyu, giving him a lot of resources, which directly filled his loyalty meter and caused his attributes to skyrocket!
"General An, do you have your own people within Dark City? We only have four hours. We must withdraw after four hours. If you have your own forces, your subsequent work will be much easier!" Three kilometers further on, Zhou Ningdong rode his war wolf, his words earnest but his expression somewhat lewd.
"General Zhou, rest assured. I sent a message to my old subordinates as soon as I returned. If all goes well, they will be waiting for us at the City Lord's mansion square in about two hours."
An Chengyu spoke little, only conversing more when facing Ye Yun and the high-ranking officials of the Dragon Palace.
"That's good. Heh heh, but brother An, if we take Dark City this time, could you give us brothers a bit more of your Dark Sacred Stones? Those stones aren't much use to you anyway." Zhou Ningdong rode alongside An Chengyu, nudging him with his shoulder. Behind them, the army of over a hundred thousand was like a swarm of locusts passing through.
"Those belong to the Master. I have no authority to handle them. If General Zhou wants them, why not ask the Master directly?" An Chengyu gazed forward. He was not a cold-blooded person. The reason he remained unmoved by the slaughter of his own kin by the army was Ye Yun's promise: forty percent of the future Dark Sacred Stones would be used to cultivate him, making him even stronger. If his own Dark Knight Legion became sufficiently powerful, Ye Yun had even given him the chance to leave the game!
This excited An Chengyu. As high-ranking officials of Divine Cities, they knew many secrets. For instance, his father had entered the Land of Awakening. Once awakened successfully, his father could shuttle back and forth between the game and reality like these outsiders, and could even revive after death!
Most importantly, outsiders could purchase their growth attributes with endless resources, making themselves stronger.
And the natives? Apart from living within the predetermined framework of the system, they had no other choice.
Take the Dark Sacred Stones, for example. In Dark Divine City, they were merely currency for transactions, but in the hands of outsiders, they were items that could directly increase strength!
During their months in Fengle City, they had witnessed firsthand how these outsiders grew step by step.
"This..."
Zhou Ningdong was left speechless seeing the serious An Chengyu. This guy, no wonder he wasn't very likable!
Zhou Ningdong grumbled inwardly but didn't pay it too much mind. After all, the army he now commanded was truly terrifying. These hundred thousand-plus troops had followed him to conquer over nine hundred star domains in the Ninth Cosmic Quadrant. Wherever they went, it was like a whirlwind sweeping away fallen leaves, unstoppable. The resources plundered reached a horrifying number!
Although eighty percent had to be handed over, even the remaining twenty percent allowed his entire army to break through to the late-stage Lord God realm!
One hundred thousand late-stage Lord Gods! While their numbers might not compare to other army groups with hundreds of millions, their combat power was enough to make them proud.
