The next day, the soldiers of the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion set out full of energy and high spirits.
The soldiers of the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion were completely different from before; the previously damaged armor had all been replaced with brand-new ones.
Their weapons were brand new, and each of their eyes radiated a powerful confidence—a confidence that came from their waist pouches.
Following Long Chen's suggestion, only ten percent of the points earned this time would be kept by the legion, with the rest distributed entirely to each Tianlong warrior.
As a result, everyone received an astonishing amount of wealth, which they used to arm themselves and purchase some auxiliary attack equipment, runes, and other survival measures.
With a fuller wallet, their backs naturally stand stronger. This battle not only vented their anger but also made them rich overnight.
From the start, everyone was full of anticipation for Long Chen, and he did not disappoint them; instead, he brought them a huge surprise.
Now, following Long Chen on another expedition, they felt their blood in their bones heating up. Each one felt their whole body filled with strength. It could be said that the entire Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation.
As the hundred thousand Tianlong Legion were about to approach the front lines, Long Chen waved his hand. Everyone stopped in their tracks and shouted loudly:
"Brothers, ahead is our position. That is where we once shed our blood. That is our glory, and also our shame.
Because countless brothers died here again, yet we lost it. We disappointed those who died, and we let them down.
Today, we must redeem our past defeat and reclaim our position. We will use our weapons to sever the heads of the demon beasts.
We offer their heads to honor our fallen brothers, their blood to write our glory, their bodies to prove to everyone that our Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion has risen.
Let those idiots who look down on and despise us know: thirty years east of the river, thirty years west. Today you ignore me, tomorrow you'll be out of reach. Brothers, we must fight for honor. Long
Chen's voice was resonant and powerful, slightly hoarse, yet especially infectious. His voice rose wave after wave, stirring the blood of the listeners, as if every blood in their body was about to be ignited.
"Fight for honor"
"Fight for honor"
"Fight for honor"
The soldiers of the Eighth Dragon Legion shouted wildly, their roars shaking the sky and changing the color of the wind. At this moment, the Dragon Legion, Like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, ready to slaughter all directions.
Shen Chengfeng also clenched his fists. The Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion was a team with unlimited potential, but it was his incompetence as commander that buried them.
Long Chen had only managed a brief battle to bring about a shocking transformation in the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion. His heart was filled with shame but also anticipation, and he joined in the shouting with everyone.
In Long Chen, he saw many qualities he lacked, and moreover, he possessed a quality that no other Tianlong Legion commander possessed—a confidence that came from deep to the bone.
Long Chen's gaze remained resolute, as if there was no problem in this world he couldn't solve. This confidence was an irresistible charm, especially deadly for men. This kind of charm would make people follow him wholeheartedly.
"Excellent, that's exactly the kind of momentum we want. When a narrow path meets the brave, the brave win, and it's the same on the battlefield. Today, I'm going to lead you to a beautiful victory. Everyone must show their best form."
Now, I'll give you half an hour to start getting ready, and once again check your body and all your equipment. Make sure everything is absolutely foolproof.
Also, send people to search the surroundings to see if there is anything suspicious, and if so, report it promptly. Long Chen gave the order.
Soon, everyone began their final pre-battle checks, and some scouting soldiers started to scan the surroundings again to confirm there were no mistakes.
Soon, the soldiers reported back without any issues. After the reports were complete, Shen Chengfeng secretly transmitted his voice:
"The device we set earlier has been triggered."
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Long Chen's mouth, but he said nothing. After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, he waved his hand: "
Let's go."
"Isn't it half an hour?" Shen Chengfeng was stunned.
"Half an hour? I said it was for others, and you actually take it seriously?" Besides, who goes out of their way to check equipment for half an hour when war is about to break out? Long Chen was speechless; Shen Chengfeng actually believed him too.
Retaking the position wasn't just playing house—it was a real bloody battle, with life at risk at any moment. Who would be careless for even a moment?
This pre-war inspection was essentially a case of taking off your pants and farting—it looked cautious but was actually meaningless.
Such behavior is illogical; in the secular world, it can be exposed instantly, and even children can't fool them.
But in the cultivation world that values strength, it's very useful. Even Shen Chengfeng took it seriously, so Long Chen had nothing to worry about.
They soon arrived at the front of the position. This was also a narrow pass-type position, with the void twisting continuously and the laws of heaven and earth roaring—a terrifying black hole.
On the other side stood a tall mountain, its summit covered in ice. The cold air gathered but wouldn't disperse. Just one glance at it felt as if your soul was frozen solid. This place was absolutely not to be approached.
Between the black hole and the rolling mountains lies a region stretching tens of thousands of li, once the base of the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion.
But now, all the city walls, arrow towers, and various defensive structures had been leveled. Countless armies of demon beasts were stationed here.
This position is a strategic chokepoint; to enter the depths of the ancient battlefield, this is the only way through this area.
Back then, the Eighth Dragon Legion held this place, keeping the demon beasts at bay. Now that their positions had been swapped, the Eighth Dragon Legion still felt immense pressure, because this place was easy to defend but hard to attack. Reclaiming it would come at a terrifying price.
"Roar!"
As the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion slowly approached, a furious roar erupted from within the position, and more and more demon beasts surged out from the formation.
"Humble humans, coming here is a death sentence. Get out of here now."
A powerful member of the Mighty Blood Ox clan stepped forward and shouted coldly.
"Long Chen, something's off. It seems there are far fewer demon beasts here, and their strength has weakened.
And this guy actually told us to get lost, instead of just coming out directly. Is there something wrong with that? Shen Chengfeng said somewhat strangely. The last time he came to secretly observe, there were far more demon beasts here than now, and their auras were much stronger.
"There's nothing strange about it. This is a game of luring enemies deep in. Even demon beasts can use cunning?" However, this strategy was somewhat too basic.
Use the formation disk to probe and see if something is hidden in the distant space around you. Long Chen said.
"Commander, there are countless terrifying auras around here, dozens of times greater than what appears on the surface. This is one—Traps. The deputy commander of the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion's expression changed.
With the money this time, Long Chen asked Shen Chengfeng to exchange for a powerful detection array that could detect spatial fluctuations from a distance. This detection revealed countless terrifying auras hidden behind the formation.
Seeing the deputy commander's expression change, Long Chen waved his hand and said, "Everything was expected. We made preparations early to retake the position, and we even sent people to scout yesterday. The enemy must have made preparations."
Why were we yelling and shouting over there before? Isn't it just to get them ready? But they actually played a trick—how wonderful! They were deliberately cooperating with us.
This way, the things he had prepared earlier would have to be changed a bit. There was no need to waste so much. After calculating the time, it was about right. Time to get started. After
speaking, Shen Chengfeng immediately gave the order, being the first to open the phenomenon and leading everyone to charge at the demon beast army.
"Boom boom boom...
Just as Shen Chengfeng and the others launched their charge, the crossbowmen behind them launched a long-range attack, striking the beast clan ahead of time and tearing a gap in the gap between them.
Those demon beasts were instantly torn apart by the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion's defenses and charged straight into the position.
Upon entering the formation, Shen Chengfeng found that these demon beasts were extremely weak, completely defenseless. As they charged in, the beasts scattered and fled in panic.
"Command the surrounding demon beasts, begin the encirclement." Someone reported to Shen Chengfeng.
"Don't worry about them. Let the people behind slow down. Those who come in first should be assigned according to the plan." Long Chen said.
The soldiers of the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion slowly poured into the position. When the first wave arrived, they immediately began digging and quickly erected a tall tower.
However, this tower was not an arrow tower, but a long-range archery platform, which was usually used to transmit signals.
On the battlefield, the situation changes rapidly. Sometimes the communication talisman is interfered with and malfunctions, making this super-long-range arrow platform a lifesaver.
The runes on this arrow platform are a special kind of rune, all condensed with power that is empowered by the Void-Breaking attribute. Therefore, the arrows can shoot extremely far, reaching over a hundred thousand li. However, these arrows can only shoot far and do not have much destructive power.
With the arrow platform completed, Long Chen stood atop it, looking toward a certain spot. At this moment, the hidden demon beasts around were slowly surrounding the position. As soon as all the soldiers of the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion entered, they would immediately surround the area.
"Why is it so slow?" Shen Chengfeng, don't let me down. Long Chen looked into the distance, but there was no movement at all, feeling a bit uncertain. Could something have happened to this guy?
"Have the soldiers come in slowly and buy more time." Long Chen had no choice but to give the order.
As long as the warriors of the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion hadn't all come in, the beasts would have to wait, so they could only stall like this.
"Not good, the demon beasts seem to have lost patience. The spatial fluctuations are intensifying. They don't plan to wait any longer." Shen Chengfeng looked at the formation disk and suddenly called out.
"Damn it, what is Ye Lingfeng up to? Can't even handle this simple matter? Hurry up and get everyone inside." With no other choice, Long Chen had no choice but to urge the rear soldiers to accelerate their entry into the position.
"Rumble rumble...
At that moment, the surrounding space exploded, and endless demon beasts roared and charged from all directions.
"Hahaha, thank goodness, thank goodness, they came too."
Long Chen suddenly looked into the distance. In the distance, space collapsed, and endless magical beasts were frantically hunting a group of people. Long Chen immediately spotted Ye Lingfeng and was overjoyed, as if he were seeing a loved one.
