Chapter 918 - 918 Territory Expansion
918 Territory Expansion
Putting everything else aside, the 200,000 Vermillion Bird Battle Armor made the Vermilion Bird Army Group’s energy, and spirit completely different. They emitted a blazing aura.
They looked like a sea of fire when they stood together.
Countless civilians gathered in the surroundings. Many of them were Bounty Hunters and even some sect disciples. They were all looking at the army group.
There were 200,000 soldiers there, and it was boundless. Everyone felt as if they were looking at a terrifying Vermillion Bird. Its blazing aura was blowing against their faces, making them feel like they were being roasted by flames.
The Qi dynamics of these soldiers seemed to be able to perfectly fuse and gather into a whole.
“This is one of the legendary Four Symbols Army Groups of the Dawn Dynasty’s six armies-The Vermillion Bird Army Group. Their Qi dynamics is indeed blazing like fire!”
“What a terrifying army and aura! It’s even more terrifying than the battle with the Orc Army. Every single one of them is in the Transcendent Silver realm or above. More than half of them are Gold Transcendents, and a considerable portion of them are in the legendary realm. It is too terrifying. Even a mythical realm cultivator who blocks their way would be instantly killed.”
“This is an army formed entirely of powerhouses above the Transcendent Silver realm. Such an army is unprecedented. It’s said that once one joins the army, one’s cultivation speed will be extremely fast. One can also cultivate top-notch military cultivation techniques. Such cultivation techniques can only be improved rapidly in the army. The more battles they fight, the faster their cultivation would increase. Now, it seems that it is true. The soldiers are all second-rank heavenly soldiers and a large number of them are third-rank. In the Nine-rank Military System, a third-rank heavenly soldier must at least have a cultivation of Transcendent Silver realm.”
The civilians were all discussing in low voices. Their expressions were filled with excitement.
Military cultivation techniques did not depend on one’s aptitude at all. As long as one followed the army and fought, one could absorb the baleful and killing aura to quickly become stronger.
The more one killed, the stronger the baleful aura. After each battle, one would advance by leaps and bounds.
This was the case after the battle with the Orc race. A large number of soldiers had broken through one after another, and experts kept appearing.
This also meant that the most basic selection criteria for the five legions except the Bai Hua Army Group, was to reach the Transcendent Bronze realm. In other words, one had to become a second-rank heavenly soldier and a powerhouse among the grade.
Only third-rank heavenly soldiers could have a position in the army.
The basic combat power of the army had already reached an extremely high level.
Even though the threshold was only the Transcendent Bronze realm, a great army did not care about fighting alone. Once countless Transcendent Bronze realm warriors gathered together, combined with their cultivation techniques and auras, they could even resist those in the mythical realm.
In this month, forming an army was the simplest thing. What was time-consuming was the cooperation of the various types of soldiers in battle. They constantly practiced and formed their combat strength. The army would have to face all sorts of situations in the future, so they had to be able to defend and attack.
Countless civilians looked forward to the soldiers of the Vermillion Bird Army Group.
“We Human race can also give birth to experts and have powerful armies.”
“Our Human race army is not inferior to any foreign race. They have been through the test of blood.”
Countless people felt proud from the bottom of their hearts.
Li Xiang stood on the high platform and looked at the Vermilion Bird Army Group in front. He couldn’t help but feel high-spirited.
“Zhao Yun, step forward!”
Li Xiang shouted.
“Get on the stage and present the flag!”
Zhao Yun’s body trembled, and a hint of excitement appeared on his face. He stepped onto the platform and knelt in front of Li Xiang.
“Zhao Yun, today, I’ll give you the Vermillion Bird War Flag. The Vermillion Bird is fiery in nature. I hope that the Vermillion Bird Army Group is able to invade and destroy all the enemies, expanding the Kingdom of Dawn and protecting our people.”
Li Xiang reached out and took the red flag that Alice was holding up. Then, he placed it in Zhao Yun’s hand.
“I, Zhao Yun, swear my loyalty to the Kingdom of Dawn and the king. Wherever the king looks, the Vermillion Bird Army Group will follow.”
Zhao Yun stretched out his hands to lift the crimson flag, feeling a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
With a wave of his hand, the flag unfurled and fluttered in the wind. A lifelike Vermillion Bird appeared on the crimson flag.
Beside the Vermillion Bird, there were a few ancient characters engraved- Dawn!
Zhao!
In the upper left corner was the word “Dawn”, and in the lower right corner was the word “Zhao”.
This represented the flag of the Vermillion Bird Army Group and also Zhao Yun’s identity.
The soldiers of the Vermillion Bird Army Group cast their gazes on the flag, and a strong sense of belonging instantly surged in their hearts.
“From now on, as long as the Vermillion Bird War Flag exists, the Vermilion Bird Army Group will exist. Use the enemy’s blood to make the flames on the Vermillion Bird even brighter!”
Zhao Yun shouted resolutely.
“Vermillion Bird! Vermillion Bird!”
The soldiers shouted in unison.
Their gazes toward the war flag became even more passionate.
At this moment, their hearts were filled with glory. This was the glory of the Vermillion Bird Army Group. The flag was an honor, and they wanted to use the blood of their enemies to dye this flag red.
Wherever the flag is, the people are there.
This was the belief of every soldier in the Vermillion Bird Army Group.
However, this belief was only on the surface. They still needed to use the blood of the enemies and countless victories to water this belief and make it as hard as steel.
“Good! Let’s move out!”
Li Xiang waved his hand, and the army, led by Zhao Yun, lined up neatly and stepped into the Void Divine Gate.
Jiang He bowed to Li Xiang before following the army into the gate.
He was the leader of this expansion campaign. Wherever the Divine Cities went, it was the territory of the Kingdom of Dawn. If anyone tried to stop them, it would be the Vermillion Bird Army Group’s responsibility. They would cooperate with him and suppress the area to ensure the safety of the Divine Cities.
…
“The Dawn Dynasty has made their move. They’re planning to expand outward!”
“Quick, send the news back! The Kingdom of Dawn is too ruthless. They are using their Divine Cities to suppress the wilderness. Many tribes within the Divine Cities are not living well. A Divine City can accommodate millions of humans, and it is extremely sturdy. It is easy for it to defend but difficult for us to attack. The army is also guarding it. It is extremely difficult to break through. Every Divine City is a nail rooted in the wilderness.”
“D*mn it! The Human race is going to devour the wilderness step by step until all the places become their territory. And we will all become their prey. We can’t let the Human race expand so easily. Stop them! We have to think of a way to stop them.”
The Kingdom of Dawn used the Divine Cities as its foundation. Wherever the cities went, the surrounding would be the territory of the kingdom. In reality, the wilderness was a land without an owner. Whoever had the ability to occupy it would be the owner of the land.
