Seeing how determined Liu Xian’er was, the golden-armored commander could not say anything.

He was just being kind.

After all, back then, Divine Blacksmith De Lu had an extremely respected status in the City of the Great Emperor and had helped countless people.

Commanders like them had more or less received the favor of Divine Blacksmith De Lu.

Seeing that the token had changed owners, he was worried that the successor of Divine Blacksmith De Lu was bullied.

He took another look at Liu Xian’er’s long dress and took a deep breath.

“When the battle begins later, don’t be too far away from me. I will protect you. It can also be considered as repaying Lord De Lu for his kindness back then…”

The golden-armored commander promised.

Clearly, he did not want Lord De Lu’s only successor to be hurt.

Before Liu Xian’er could react, Chu Feng hurriedly said, “Thank you, Commander!”

The golden-armored commander glanced at Chu Feng and said indifferently, “I am the commander of the Second Regiment of the Third Garrison Army of the Great Emperor’s City. You can call me the Second Commander.”

“Yes, sir.”

Chu Feng responded obediently.

Seeing how obedient Chu Feng was, this Second Commander simply did not even have the chance to find trouble with him. Forget it, I’ll let him off.

After all, Chu Feng could not be blamed for this.

“Follow me. Do you know what the mission is?”

Chu Feng nodded.

“Understood, defend the eastern district! Don’t let the Netherworld Spirit Army take a step beyond!”

The second commander nodded and said, “Remember, don’t underestimate the enemy. They… are very strong! Do you understand?”

Chu Feng continued to nod.

He felt like he was about to become a nodding machine.

But who asked him to be under their roof?

He knew when to yield and when not to.

Soon, Chu Feng and the others left with the golden-armored commander.

Only the hundreds of confused faces in the arena were left.

There were a small number of second-rank sergeants, and most of them were third-rank sergeants or even ordinary soldiers.

They were all people who had not been chosen by the sergeants major.

At this moment, they were at a loss.

They had already been taken away by a divine-grade expert. What about them?

Why didn’t their armor mention any missions?

Dongfang Hu turned around.

He had almost become a member of this confused group.

He could not help but ask.

“Second Commander, what will they do?”

The golden-armored commander glanced at Dongfang Hu coldly and was about to reprimand him when he suddenly heard Liu Xian’er ask in confusion, “Yeah, where will they all go? I want to know too.”

The golden-armored commander’s aura fluctuated.

In the end, he could only look at Liu Xian’er helplessly and explain, “They’re… in danger.”

“They will first be brought to the vanguard camp for training. Then, they will be organized into dozens of vanguard teams. They will be in charge of going out for reconnaissance and carry out some military missions outside the city… In short, they will be doing the most dangerous jobs. There’s a slim chance of survival!”

Chu Feng curled his lip.

“Isn’t that just cannon fodder… As long as one or two of these people can complete the mission, the City of the Great Emperor won’t lose out.”

The golden-armored commander glanced at Chu Feng but did not retort.

That was the truth.

The Great Emperor’s City was not a charity. It had naturally attracted many experts here for a reason.

The strongest of these outsiders had already been chosen by the sergeants major. Even if the rest died, the Great Emperor’s City would not feel the pinch.

Chu Feng and the others were not too moved.

The weak were prey to the strong since ancient times.

Since these people were not strong enough and could not suppress the greed in their hearts, they had to be responsible for their actions.

Of course, if they successfully completed their mission, the Great Emperor’s City would not break its promise!

They would also be rewarded with huge military merits!

To ordinary warriors, this was an opportunity to soar into the sky!

It was up to fate.

On the other hand, Dongfang Hu, who was walking at the back of the group, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

That was close!

He was almost sent to the suicide squad! Fortunately, he had shamelessly come to find Chu Feng!

Otherwise, who knew what would happen.

Even now, as long as he was close to Chu Feng, Dongfang Hu still felt uncomfortable.

But at least it was not that dangerous!

Subconsciously, Dongfang Hu would try his best to stay away from Chu Feng.

Every time he recalled the feeling of being controlled by someone, he would feel lingering fear.

And what terrified Dongfang Hu the most was…

He felt that he was being affected deeper and deeper!

Otherwise, with his personality, how could he have taken the initiative to ask for help during the formation!

It was because he felt that Chu Feng was amiable…

Damn!

This wouldn’t do!

So terrifying!

Dongfang Hu felt a chill run down his spine.

He made up his mind.

“After this is over, I’ll die of old age in the Demondawn Palace and never come out again!”

Chu Feng naturally did not know that Dongfang Hu was so dramatic.

To him, it was good to have this guy joining him, but if not, it was nothing.

Don’t be so dramatic every day!

Who cares about you!

Seeing that the golden-armored commander was easy to talk to, Chu Feng began to get closer.

Perhaps because of the token of the Divine Blacksmith, the golden-armored commander was not too impatient. At the very least, they could communicate normally.

On the other hand, the other teams were scolded.

Huangpu Ming had just been kicked by the golden-armored commander in public, but he did not even dare to breathe loudly.

The others were not much better.

How miserable!

On the other side, Chu Feng and the others chatted along the way.

After making many turns, they had traveled an unknown distance.

Suddenly, the golden-armored commander ahead stopped.

Chu Feng and the others hurriedly stopped.

In front of everyone was a huge military camp!

He did not expect such a place to exist in the City of the Great Emperor.

In the military camp, countless armored soldiers came and went. Most of them were ordinary black-armored soldiers, and a few were silver-armored soldiers.

They were all well-trained and had powerful auras.

When everyone saw that the golden-armored commander had returned, they all stopped what they were doing and bowed respectfully.

The golden-armored commander nodded in satisfaction.

He introduced them to Chu Feng and the others proudly.

“This is my second regiment. The entire regiment has a total of 1,279 people. There’s one golden-armored commander, ten silver-armored sergeants-major, 30 first-rank soldiers, 300 second-rank soldiers, and the rest are all third-rank soldiers. There are no ordinary soldiers.”

“With you guys, there are exactly 1,300 people in the entire team. As for you martial artists from the outside world, under the same military rank, you’re generally stronger than us guys who only have soul armor left.”

“But… you guys… Sigh!”

The golden-armored commander was clearly helpless.

The guys he had brought back this time seemed to have been promoted as exceptions!

This meant that these people might only be talented and did not have the corresponding strength…

In reality, they were not that useful for the entire regiment that was about to face a fierce battle.

The golden-armored commander shook his head helplessly. He was unwilling to say anything else to dampen the confidence of these new recruits.

He merely mentioned it.

“Hmm… I don’t expect you to be of much help. At the very least, don’t drag us down.”
