"Buzz!"

The Oath Base suddenly shook violently, and the artifact tablet standing in the center of the base disappeared in response, turning into a black iron plate lying quietly in Jiang Yuan's palm.

"Get up, go and see what happened!"

"alert!"

The noise from the artifact woke everyone in the covenant. One by one, they rubbed their sleepy eyes, put on their armor, and ran out.

"I never imagined it would take four hours to forge a weapon!" Jiang Yuan looked at the horizon, where light had already appeared, though it wasn't very bright.

"Boss, it's you!"

When the Oath Reserves arrived, they saw Jiang Yuan, and the leader, Zhu Zi, looked at Jiang Yuan with admiration.

"I just broke through, and the commotion I caused may have startled you all!" Jiang Yuan nodded slightly to express his apology.

"Congratulations, boss!"

"Our leader will definitely be the strongest in South City!"

The reserve soldiers were even more excited when they heard Jiang Yuan say he had broken through than when they themselves had.

Jiang Yuan looked at his brothers in front of him and felt a pang of sadness. Most of the reserve soldiers were refugees who had lost their homes. The largest number of refugees came from Changgan County. They had gone through countless hardships to finally settle down in the oath, but now they were facing a life of displacement and even uncertainty.

"Boss, why aren't you happy about breaking through?" Zhu Zi stepped forward and asked with concern.

"Has Little Fatty told you about the Demonic Bloodstone?" Jiang Yuan asked, looking at everyone.

"Boss, we've already discussed it last night. We'll follow your orders!"

Zhu Zi took the lead, and then the others began to echo him.

"Yes, the oath took us in during our most difficult time, so we cannot abandon the oath even in our most difficult time! So what if we don't use the Demonic Bloodstone? Our oath can still dominate South City!"

"Looking down on the southern city!"

Looking at the enthusiastic reservists before him, Jiang Yuan felt a surge of pride. This was the team he had led, and it would be again.

"Brother Yuan, you're up so early!" Little Fatty arrived late, but he wasn't sleeping in; he was leading a patrol.

As the situation in the southern city becomes increasingly tense, even the oath-taking ceremony requires constant vigilance throughout the night.

"You've worked hard!" Jiang Yuan gave him a look that only his brothers could understand. Although Xiao Pang had many flaws, he was serious about being a brother.

Little Fatty just smiled sheepishly and then stood behind Jiang Yuan.

Just as Little Fatty stood still, Ning Yanlan and the others arrived one after another. After exchanging glances, they all stood together, marking the first time the oath had truly come together.

The plan that had been brewing in Jiang Yuan's mind for a long time resurfaced, and he said in a deep voice, "Brothers, I want to tell you something!"

"Boss, just give the order if you need anything. The reserve is willing to go through fire and water for the oath!"

The reserve members shouted in unison, and the core members of the oath also demonstrated their stance through their actions.

Jiang Yuan said arrogantly, "All along, we have been living quietly in Nancheng, only seeking survival, and have never had the ambition to dominate!"

The crowd fell silent. Their oath to survive was a vow they had made together, and they had never fought for territory like other factions.

"But now, the situation has changed!" Jiang Yuan's gaze deepened, and he said in a deep voice, "More and more forces are turning their swords against their own kind in order to gather the blood of the Demon God! If this continues, Nancheng will cease to exist, and countless humans will cease to exist!"

"Therefore, it's time for us to stand up and fulfill our vows!"

At this moment, a long dragon of fortune rose from the ground along with Jiang Yuan's words, and its roars resounded throughout the entire southern city.

Listen to the dragon's roar, and watch as you rise.

The goal of the pledged reserve force is more aligned than ever before!

"We pledge to protect our community and uphold our beliefs!"

"We pledge to protect our community and uphold our beliefs!"

The reservists unanimously shouted the pledge.

“I know that prohibiting the use of demon god blood will hinder the development of the Oath!” Jiang Yuan took a deep breath, glanced at Ning Yanlan and the others, and then said solemnly, “Therefore, in order to enhance the strength of the Oath, I plan to establish an exchange warehouse, which will provide various elixirs, weapons, skills, bloodlines and other treasures for everyone to exchange!”

"Of course, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Each reserve member initially only has three free exchange opportunities. After that, if you want to exchange for supplies again, you'll need to use points. As for how to obtain points, there are many ways: you can exchange Magic Bloodstones, Holy Spirit Stones, cores, or even unused treasures for points!"

Does anyone have any objections?

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he waited for the reserve members to give their opinions.

"I have!"

When the voices of opposition arose, Jiang Yuan frowned, because the voices of opposition did not come from the reserves, nor from Ning Yanlan and the others, but from behind them.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass on my sworn territory!" Little Fatty urged his injured body to charge at the newcomers.

"Don't be nervous, they're friends, not enemies!"

Jiang Yuan recognized the person as Liang Yuquan, whom he had dealt with before.

"I have a problem with this!" Liang Yuquan walked over slowly, followed by five men whose murderous intent had not subsided.

“Sir, isn’t it rather impolite of you to enter my sworn territory like this?” Jiang Yuan turned around, unaware of Liang Yuquan’s purpose.

Liang Yuquan didn't care about Jiang Yuan's words and calmly said, "The oath is strong, but don't you think something is missing?"

"Lotus, what do you think is missing?" Jiang Yuan asked, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

"Intelligence system!" Liang Yuquan adjusted his glasses, meeting Jiang Yuan's gaze without flinching.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan did not refute it, but simply smiled and said, "Then what do you think we should do?"
