Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 842: Eastpart City (3)

At the same time.

Su Yu and about twenty other individuals were led away by a few soldiers. Since Su Yu was a pseudo earth weaponsmith, the Cloudbreach leading the soldiers was very polite. He maintained an amiable conversation with Su Yu as they walked.

"Master Cui, are you from Great Ming?"

"Yes." Su Yu flashed a wide smile and looked around before saying, "This place has changed since my last visit several years ago."

"Yeah, things have changed." The Cloudbreach said, "Things are a lot more strict as of late since the battlefield has been rather chaotic recently. Things are not that bad here in the headquarters. But further ahead in the frontlines, a lot of skirmishes have been happening. I heard that dozens of experts from the Vanguard Regiment perished not long ago. If you intend to go out, I advise that you don't stray too far from the headquarters. It's too dangerous out there."

"I'll keep that in mind." Su Yu nodded, "Sir, I heard that some new minor realms have appeared recently. Do you know where these realms can be found?"

"That...is something for the higher-ups to worry about." The Cloudbreach said, "Master Cui, I don't know. But the Heavenly Wave Army of Great Song that I'm serving at seems to have discovered a minor realm recently. Maybe you can take a look at the area our army is guarding? I can make the arrangements if you're interested."

Su Yu laughed, "Brother, this recruitment pitch of yours is quite unique. I only asked a random question, but you actually tried to send me straight to your army through that question."

"Hahaha!" The Cloudbreach laughed and said, "Master Cui. Since your identity as a pseudo earth weaponsmith has been exposed, more people will try to recruit you soon. Due to my low position, I won't be able to give you a good offer. But the various armies are urgently in need of more weaponsmiths recently. You can consider our Heavenly Wave Army if you wish to join one."

Su Yu nodded, "I'll keep that in mind. But I need to settle down first. I will probably be staying here for a bit before returning to the Human Realm."

"I'm glad to hear that." The Cloudbreach was relieved. Since there was a pseudo earth weaponsmith in front of him, he had to try his luck. Even if this weaponsmith was only willing to forge some profound weapons and do nothing else, it would still be very helpful for them.

***

At that point, Su Yu stopped talking and started openly looking around.

The Allheaven Battlefield was illuminated only by the countless stars in the sky. Due to the absence of a sun, it wasn't too bright here. But it wasn't too dark either. They were walking a special passage to the city, so he couldn't see too much here.

They walked for more than ten minutes at a rather fast speed before they exited the army base. Outside the walls, a small city could be seen about a dozen kilometers ahead of them. That was none other than the Eastpart City. It wasn't exactly a metropolis, but it looked rather prosperous. Even from about a dozen kilometers away, they could hear the hustle and bustle in the city.

Outside the base, Su Yu looked around again. He saw numerous roads leading to numerous different directions. A large number of pedestrians could be seen on these roads, and most of them were soldiers. Some injured soldiers who were returning from the frontlines could also be seen on these roads.

Earthdragons were everywhere, acting as the main transportation method for the people here. An earthdragon was the most practical mount one could get in the Allheaven Battlefield. One could also drive a car here. One could power a car just with source qi. But that was pointless as these vehicles were too slow and too easily damaged.

Su Yu also noticed some communication stations in the area. These were different from the regular communication stations in the Human Realm. The stations here worked for voice transmissions rather than digital communicators. Without these stations, voice transmission talismans wouldn't work here.

After a while, Su Yu nodded. At the very least, these stations showed that there was still a reliable communication method in the area occupied by humanity. The group went into a large carriage pulled by an earthdragon. They started moving toward the Eastpart City at a rapid speed.

In only a few seconds, the city was near. The city was akin to a boiling cauldron of voices. The city gate was bustling with activity.

"Victorious Battle Army, a second-tier army of Great Zhou is recruiting! Those at the Skysoar Realm and above are encouraged to apply! We provide excellent benefits to all our soldiers! Cultural researchers will be prioritized. Weaponsmiths, pillmasters, beast tamers, and talisman masters will all receive preferential treatment."

"Great Ming's Heavenly Dao Army is recruiting. If you think you can fight well, join us!"

"Great Shang's elite army, Profound Fire Army is recruiting. If you're not afraid of death and are willing to obey military commands, join us!"

"The Devil Hunt Company is recruiting! We will go deep into the frontlines and hunt for devils. Is any warrior with at least 108 acupoints and 18 body forgings interested in joining? We don't accept weaklings."

"The Divine Butcher Company is recruiting. We will be hunting for divines and devils on the frontlines. We need warriors capable of unleashing the strength of five thousand acupoints or more. Anyone weaker than that need not apply."

"..."

All sorts of voices could be heard. Everything was new and interesting for Su Yu, but he continued maintaining a look of indifference, as though nothing could impress him. Right at that moment, someone riding a white sky horse sped over from behind them.

The moment the person on the horse noticed the carriage, he said, "Chen Long of Devil Subduing Army is here to draft Cui Lang into the Devil Subduing Army under Great Qin King's order!"

"..."

Su Yu was stunned. Someone from the Devil Subduing Army?

The Cloudbreach from Great Song who was leading the way heard that as well. His expression changed as he started scolding, "General Chen Long, don't run around with fake military orders. Great Qin King will never issue a forced conscription order."

That interaction attracted countless eyes from the surrounding people. Chen Long maintained the same expression as he loudly said, "Don't misunderstand me. Great Qin King said that the equipment of Devil Subduing Army was in bad condition. Thus, he sent me here to request for Cui Lang's help. This is not a forced conscription. But since Great Qin King has spoken, please come with me, Master Cui."

"..."

Some of the people around them started cursing under their breath.

Bullshit!

Suddenly, someone behind them laughed and said, "Chen Long, Great Qin King only told you to rope in Master Cui. But you're actually using his name to boss people around? How brazen."

Chen Long's expression did not change. He looked at the people in the carriage only to finally start feeling troubled. Which of them was Cui Lang? He didn't know Cui Lang.

And the people in the carriage were all quite weak. Excluding the soldiers who were leading the way, even the strongest among them was a Cloudbreach. And that Cloudbreach was none other than Su Yu.

Was that him? But that was way too young.

Su Yu's heart skipped a beat. Someone from the Devil Subduing Army! He was worrying about how he should get in contact with his father. But now, someone from the Devil Subduing Army was right in front of him!

Also...he did not overlook the fact that this order came from Great Qin King! Numerous thoughts rose in his mind. Did Great Qin King send someone from the Devil Subduing Army his way because the king had seen through his disguise? Perhaps the king even knew who he was.

Su Yu had no choice but to think this way. After all, this was too coincidental. He had just arrived, but the king had sent someone from the Devil Subduing Army to him right after. Why was it not someone from a different army instead?

Of course, Su Yu did not reveal any of his emotions on his face. He replied lazily, "I'm not interested in joining an army. General Chen, please move on. I have something else I need to do."

It would be suspicious for him to agree so easily. After all, he hadn't even met anyone from Great Ming yet.

He smiled at the Cloudbreach from Great Song, and said, "I wish to take a rest in the city first. I'll be troubling you, Sir."

The Cloudbreach said nothing and hurriedly drove the carriage into the city. He had to first find a place of residence for Cui Lang. Chen Long was left behind with a gloomy expression. He turned to look at the newly arrived Sunmoons. These bastards!

He was already on the verge of success when these people interupted! Damn it! Now, he would probably need to pay a high price to recruit that weaponsmith. More importantly, he was poor! Great Xia was poor! The Devil Subduing Army was poor as well.

Despite his bad mood, he still rushed into the city. No matter what, he had to give it a try. Also, that weaponsmith was still so young. Was that really a pseudo earth weaponsmith? He decided to first look into Cui Lang's background and try to find out if Cui Lang needed anything. That might help in the recruitment.

The Devil Subduing Army had its own base of operations in the Eastpart City. The senior official stationed in this base of operations was none other than his big brother, Su Long. He was recently appointed to this position. He had applied for it himself since he was getting bored of staying in the military base doing nothing.

"I can take this chance to pay Big Brother a visit."

He went straight to the base of operations. As for the recruitment of Cui Lang, he would do it after gathering more information.

***

Meanwhile, Su Yu's heart was thumping rapidly.

Devil Subduing Army...and his father. Was his father in the military base? How should he arrange for a meeting with his father?

A year had passed. How was his father now? What about his cultivation level? Sigh. He used to be an Infinite Strength cultivator with only thirty-six acupoints. Even if he was already a Skysoar, Su Yu could defeat such an opponent with one punch. This was such a dangerous place for his father.
