Chapter 146: The General

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Mei Changge arrived at the scene and nodded approvingly as he saw Xu Ding and the other two had recruited the soldiers.

“My lord!”

Xu Ding immediately noticed Mei Changge and jumped down from the Nine Howling Wolf with a respectful expression.

Mei Changge emerged from the Green Cloud Palace in the sky. His aura was unhidden, so he caught Xu Ding’s attention.

Song Yubai and Lin Zifeng said to Mei Changge at the same time.

“Alright. Get up now.”

Mei Changge slowly descended from the sky. He knew that the three of them planned to establish his image, so he did not stop them.

“Is the recruitment over?”

Mei Changge looked behind the three of them. Everyone looked at him excitedly, their eyes filled with reverence.

The lord descended from the sky to the mortal realm, resembling an immortal.

“My lord, the recruitment has been completed. We’re waiting to enter the soldier pools to receive the baptism!”

Xu Ding addressed Mei Changge with a solemn expression. At that moment, he stood as the strongest among the three, assuming an implicit leadership role.

“Alright, let’s go to the soldier pools!”

Mei Changge nodded gently and waved his hand.

In an instant, everyone disappeared from outside Green Cloud City, including Xu Ding, Song Yubai, and Lin Zifeng.

Outside the valley of the soldier pools, a large number of people appeared.

“Xu Ding, we must have a total of 10,000 Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry today.”

When they arrived outside the valley, Mei Changge said to Xu Ding.

“Yes, my lord!”

Upon hearing this, Xu Ding’s eves briqhtened. The increase from 3,000 to 10,000 greatly pleased him.

“Zifeng, is Li Xin here?”

Mei Changge looked at Lin Zifeng and asked.

“Li Xin!

Lin Zifeng immediately shouted at the crowd. Soon after, Li Xin ran out.

“Greetings, my lord! General!”

Li Xin had a puzzled expression. He did not know why he was called out.

“Today, we will command a total of 20,000 Mystic Yang soldiers. Li Xin, are you willing to take on the role of a general?”

Mei Changge had a smile as he looked at the puzzled Li Xin.

In the past, Li Xin had followed Xu Chu and unearthed the treasure left behind by the Forest race—the Giant War Trees. Furthermore, his current strength was considerable.

“Yes, my lord! It would be my honor!”

Li Xin shouted with an excited expression.

He did not expect himself to become a general so quickly. It was unbelievable.

“Okay.”

Mei Changge nodded in satisfaction and looked at Song Yubai.

“Yubai, has Zhang Xiang advanced to the Innate realm?”

“My lord, Zhang Xiang is currently at Postnatal Level 7. In less than half a month, he will definitely be able to advance to the Innate realm.”

Song Yubai said with a serious expression.

Half a month was enough for Zhang Xiang to step into the Innate realm. Moreover, he had given Zhang Xiang a portion of his White Jade Lotus Wine.

The White Jade Lotus Wine not only enhanced one’s physical strength and facilitated healing but also harbored spiritual energy. The spiritual energy within the Spirit Wine was sufficient to accelerate Zhang Xiang’s progression from the Postnatal realm to the Innate realm.

“In that case, you will lead the Red Lotus soldiers first. Zhang Xiang will temporarily be your deputy general.”

“Yan Zhen will also be your deputy general.’

Mei Changge looked at Yan Zhen, who was maintaining order in the crowd and nodded slightly.

Yan Zhen did not expect Mei Changge to remember his name and even appointed him as Song Yubai’s deputy general.

For a moment, he became even more respectful and loyal to Mei Changge.

“Thank you, my lord!”

Yan Zhen’s face was filled with excitement, and his tone trembled as he bowed to Mei Changge.

“Rise. ”

Mei Changge smiled and an invisible force helped Yan Zhen up.

“In the Warlord Bastion, strength reigns supreme. Should any of you demonstrate greater strength than a general, you’ll be given the chance to rise to the rank of a general!”

Mei Changge surveyed the crowd. Despite his composed tone, his words ignited a deep yearning for strength in the hearts of all who heard them.

“Yes, my lord!”

“Long live the lord!”

In an instant, shouts came from the crowd, but Mei Changge did not care.

“Go on and make everyone soldiers!”

Mei Changge nodded and gestured for them to lead the people into the valley of the soldier pools.

The three of them knew about the Red Lotus soldiers, the Mystic Yang soldiers, and the Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry. Moreover, Mei Changge had already thrown in Blessed Stones to turn them into spiritual water.

Red Lotuses, Mystic Yang Grass, and Gale Wolves were also ready.

“Yes, my lord!”

The three of them were excited as they led everyone into the valley.

Mei Changge no longer had to personally organize individual entries. Song Yubai and the others were experienced in this process of entering the soldier pool. With their assistance, Mei Changge could effortlessly save some trouble.

After these people exited the soldier pools, there would be 50,000 soldiers in the Green Lotus Territory.

“The Red Lotus soldiers have to advance to Grade 6 as soon as possible.” Mei Changge stood outside the valley with a thoughtful expression.

The Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry Soldier Pool and the Mystic Yang Soldier Pool both consisted of Grade 6 soldiers. Only the Red Lotus Soldier Pool remained at Grade 8.

Unfortunately, he did not have enough destiny points.

He could only increase it when he had enough.

“After the soldiers are replenished, it’s time to let them enter the stargates.”

Mei Changge gazed down at the soldier pool valley, where Xu Ding and the others had already started admitting people. Despite occasional setbacks, they did not significantly disrupt the proceedings.

During the recruitment process, there were nearly 40,000 individuals in consideration. In terms of numbers, they could certainly sustain a force of 50,000 people.

Simultaneously, as Mei Changge commenced his soldier recruitment efforts, in another location near the Great Xia Kingdom’s border, individuals were busy cleaning up a battlefield.

It was Xia Wu’s territory—Wu City.

“Xia Wu, have you made up your mind?”

A figure stood on the city wall and asked Xia Wu, who was filled with fighting spirit.

“Hmm, I’ve decided to take over the Dark Wall after a while.’

Xia Wu nodded. The fighting spirit in his eyes did not diminish. In fact, it became even more exuberant.

“In that case, let’s go!”

After saying that, the figure disappeared as if he had never appeared. Meanwhile, Xia Wu looked into the distance with a solemn expression.

“One step at a time! I will not retreat in the Battle for Destiny!”

Xia Wu wore a solemn expression. As a member of the Xia family and hailing from the Great Xia Academy, he possessed knowledge that set him apart from the others.

For instance, the Battle for Destiny. Given his limited strength, the information he possessed was not comprehensive.

“The Great Xia Token and Destiny shall transform me into a dragon! I, Xia Wu, stand ready for battle!”

He said under his breath.

The Great Xia token in his hand seemed to have heard his words. It glowed slightly as if it was responding to him.

While he harbored the desire to seize control of the Dark Wall immediately, he understood the importance of first consolidating his power and enhancing his strength over a certain period.

He set a month for himself to strengthen his soldiers.

“I wonder how the others are doing.”

Xia Wu pondered. Ever since Green Lotus opened the virtual space once, he seemed to have disappeared.

However, he also learned from Liu Yuexi that the Path Seeking Assembly would reopen in three months.

“The new lords will fight against the foreign races and even the old lords. I wonder how many people will be able to persist in the end.”

Xia Wu gently caressed the Great Xia Token in his hand, wearing a contemplative expression. Nevertheless, he soon descended from the city wall with determination. He aimed to reach his zenith in just a month, and he expected his subordinates to exert their utmost efforts toward improvement as well. The ultimate goal was to acquire a Transcendent soldier, if possible.

This way, he would have more confidence in taking over the Dark Wall.

On the other side, Mei Changge did not know that Xia Wu had already begun to make preparations to take over the Dark Wall. At that moment, he looked at the three soldier types walking out of the valley with a satisfied expression.

“My lord! The inheritance of all the soldiers is complete!”

Xu Ding and the others arrived outside the valley and bowed to Mei Changge excitedly.

Voices sounded from behind Xu Ding and the others. Although they were not uniform, one could sense their transformation from their voices.

The Mystic Yang soldiers behind Lin Zifeng radiated intense heat, while Song Yubai’s Red Lotus soldiers exuded a suppressive aura. Xu Ding’s cavalry, the Nine Howling Wolves, appeared incredibly sharp.

“In three days, the stargate will open. Generals, prepare to lead your troops through it!”

Mei Changge looked at the soldiers behind them and nodded in satisfaction.

“Yes, my lord!”

Everyone replied in unison, their voices filled with determination.

“Go on. Use these three days to prepare for the upcoming battle.”

Mei Changge waved his hand and disappeared from the valley.

“Everyone, let’s go.”

Lin Zifeng looked at them and said with a smile.

Three days proved sufficient for Mei Changge and his soldiers to prepare. They also dedicated some time to providing basic training to the soldiers behind them, ensuring they could at least shout and participate in combat.

“Yes, let’s go.”

Xu Ding looked at the nearly 10,000 Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry behind him and could not stop the smile on his face.

The Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry was the strongest among the few soldier types. He was happy to be able to recruit 10,000 soldiers.

Moreover, every cavalry had a Nine Howling Wolf transformed from a Gale wolf.

Soon, the few of them left the valley with their soldiers, making preparations to enter the stargate.

They also knew that entering the stargate was the best opportunity for them to train.

After Mei Changge returned to the Green Cloud Palace, he did not care about the Snow Wolf wandering around the hall. Instead, he cultivated again.

He felt that he was not far from Transcendent Level 3. He estimated that in three to five days, he would have a chance to completely enter Transcendent Level 3.

Mei Changge still did not know what the level-two stargates would be like. However, judging from the heavy losses that the Gao family had suffered, a level-two stargate was definitely not as simple as it looked.

He remained skeptical that the Gao family had no Transcendents among them.

Even if there were no Transcendents, safety could not be guaranteed. Mei Changge knew he had to make thorough preparations and strive to enhance his own strength..
