"It's not that the disciples from the big sects are bad, it's just that their competition is just a shadow, and it's over in a short while. It's really boring." Perhaps because he was afraid of being misunderstood by some of the disciples from the big sects around him, he explained a little more.
"That's right, I like to see this kind of flesh-to-flesh fighting, it's powerful!" echoed the bearded burly man on the side, holding an unfinished wine gourd in his hand.
"If I had money, I'd build a ring and have fun!"
"Good idea. But it might not be easy in Luojing. Don't look at the simplicity of this arena, but it's on the street after all. An ordinary person without some connections might not be able to pull it off. They would have been kicked out by jealous colleagues long ago."
"That's true. Damn, why are there so many twists and turns?" The big man complained a little unhappy.
"Who owns this?" he asked casually.
"It seems to be a young member of the Ye family. Anyway, only the Sixth Family of Luojing has such connections and strength..."
Standing in the bustling city, surrounded by noisy voices, footsteps, and shouts, Loran Hill keenly caught the familiar words.
The Ye family? Perhaps this is the family that Ye Ling and her cousin belong to. But how should we visit them? I guess I’ll have to ask Senior Brother Gu Lie tomorrow.
As his thoughts turned, Loran Hill was no longer interested in the ring and turned around.
Looking at the dozen or so fellow disciples behind her, she was surprised for a moment, but quickly reacted.
"I'm sorry to have delayed you all."
"It's nothing, Senior Sister Luo Lan." Several girls echoed, and then the group continued walking towards the night market.
The buildings on both sides of the street are decorated with lights and long ropes connecting them. Big red lanterns are hung under the ropes, illuminating the long street of the night city and creating a lively and festive atmosphere.
The Autumn Moon Lantern Festival is coming soon.
——————
Western Continent, the Sighing Mountains north of the Apocalypse Fortress.
One by one, the knights in armor dismounted and walked forward, leading their horses. They were wrapped in gray cloaks and blended seamlessly into the environment in the snowy mountains.
"Commander, there is a hidden valley ten miles ahead that we can use for rest..." A scout covered in snow quickly rushed out of the forest and reported to the leading man.
After listening to the report, the man with a resolute face gave a few instructions, and then several people stood out from the rear team and followed the scout forward.
Then he stood on the snowy mountain, looked into the distance to the south, and continued on his way without saying a word.
Although he doesn't look very old, this legion commander was born with a kind of awe-inspiring temperament. Coupled with his extremely strong bones and muscles and powerful strength, he quickly gained the recognition of the entire legion.
This legion is an elite force directly under the royal family of the Crimson Empire. Every member of it is above Sequence 4, well-trained, and decisive in action. They are not just a bunch of show-offs made up of aristocratic children.
Most of them were born in poverty and joined the army at an early age. After being selected and surviving in the battles with the enemy, they were later recruited by the new emperor and became the imperial legion. This greatly improved their living conditions and gave them a good status. As a result, the legion's loyalty to the emperor was unquestionable.
Such a loyal and elite army must naturally be deployed in the most critical areas. They did not act with the Red Dragon Duke in the south, but were ordered to cross the Sigh Mountains and penetrate the rear of the Apocalypse Fortress, severing the logistics of this giant fortress.
The amount of food and supplies needed for over two million people was astronomical, and if they were cut off, the consequences would be catastrophic. While such a surprise attack was risky, it was still worth trying. Even if it ultimately failed, it would still cause the enemy significant headaches and divert considerable energy.
Although such a dangerous mission would bring great merit if successful, it was almost as dangerous as seeking death. Naturally, no descendant of a large family would come to participate. In the end, the responsibility of commanding this legion fell on Darcy, a rising star in the army and a man of poor background.
This outstanding graduate of Emenas joined the army directly after leaving school.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, he was short of talents and confidants. This genius with a clean background and easy to win over naturally came into the emperor's sight quickly.
From then on, he was promoted all the way from an ordinary officer to a cavalry commander, from a centurion to a thousand-man commander, and from a member of the Blood Lance Knights to the deputy commander of the Blood Lance Knights. It took him only five years to achieve this, which was extremely fast in the hierarchical empire.
What silenced those doubters was, naturally, his unrivaled, unrivaled strength. In the years following the cosmic shift, this incredibly diligent genius had advanced his strength to War Sequence 7, becoming the undisputed leader of the Imperial Army.
At the same time, he was awarded the honorary title of Champion Knight by the Emperor. Even though he had no fiefdom, his status was equivalent to that of an ordinary viscount.
Even though he came from a humble background, few in the army today disobeyed him. His unbelievably arduous lifestyle, condensed with sweat hundreds of times over, instilled awe in every soldier who interacted with him.
If you ask yourself honestly, no one can do this, so the resentment gradually dissipated.
After demonstrating his extraordinary strength and talent within the empire, this top graduate of the Bridge Pier Academy, who is well-versed in military books, will also display his amazing military command ability in this war.
There may be wrong names in the world, but there are no wrong nicknames.
Darcy, the 'Pure Iron Star General', a talented general destined to shine in the Western Continent, is rising and shining, welcoming his era.
A month later, the legion that crossed the Mountains of Sighs finally arrived at the lush green plains.
