The battle platform made contact with the ground, and Chen Zhou and his group finally returned to ground level. Only then could Chen Zhou see his surroundings clearly. When they were in mid-air, the battle platform was so large that it might have obstructed the view in some areas, but now, Chen Zhou could see everything clearly.
The first thing Chen Zhou saw was a large, orderly array in front of him, led by a woman wearing long battle armor. Behind her were also women, and all of them were wearing battle armor.
These combat armors were very similar to the ones Chen Zhou was wearing; they were practically the same model. However, Chen Zhou's armor was the men's version, while these people were wearing the women's version.
Keep in mind, each set of these combat armors costs 100 magic coins! How can these women be so wealthy? And the leading army members each have a set.
After looking at the opposite side, Chen Zhou immediately looked to both sides. Only then did Chen Zhou realize that the armies on both sides were obviously not as impressive as the army directly in front of them. First of all, they did not have combat armor like the opposing army; they were all wearing their own clothes.
Moreover, all their weapons were longswords, and they didn't have any other weapons. These weapons looked like common, readily available items, and were very likely purchased from elsewhere.
Even so, this massive army still put a lot of pressure on Chen Zhou and his group. Chen Zhou glanced at it and figured that the number of people here was definitely more than three thousand, and possibly several times that number.
Chen Zhou's side only had about three thousand people, which was obviously less than theirs.
Actually, the difference in numbers is secondary; the difference in equipment is the most fatal. Chen Zhou felt that even if neither side's army exerted any effort and just watched quietly, the more than three thousand men of the Advanced Alliance behind Chen Zhou would probably still be no match for the army directly opposite them—that army uniformly clad in combat armor and wielding superior weapons.
"Could it be someone from the tenth floor?" The leader of the army directly opposite slowly stepped forward and said loudly.
There was clearly no equipment to amplify the sound here, so only the middle-aged railway vendor and the people waiting in front could hear the man's voice.
As the leader of the Advanced Alliance, Tie Dao naturally had to be at the forefront. He slowly walked to the front and loudly replied, "Exactly."
Upon hearing the railway's words, the other side fell silent again. At this moment, the middle-aged merchant immediately gathered the people on the battle platform together. At this time, they absolutely could not be separated; their safety would be best when they were together.
"Do you know the rules of the ninth floor?" the leader continued.
As for the rules of the Ninth Floor, probably few people present knew them; their understanding of the Ninth Floor was limited to their unity.
"What are the rules of the ninth floor? Is this how you treat your guests?" The middle-aged merchant slowly walked out and said loudly. Originally, this middle-aged merchant was just a small merchant in the Tianyun Continent. If he encountered this situation, he would definitely stay far away.
However, the middle-aged vendors have been working on the tenth floor for so many years, and naturally they have changed a lot. Even if they are nervous when faced with such a scene, they will not show it.
"Hospitality? Do you really think you're guests now?" the woman in the lead said with a slight smile, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.
“Aren’t we guests? We weren’t originally from this ninth floor, but now that we’ve entered, you are the permanent residents of this ninth floor. You are the hosts, shouldn’t you welcome and congratulate us, the new guests?” the middle-aged merchant said.
Upon hearing the middle-aged vendor's words, the woman burst into laughter. She had seen countless people enter the ninth floor from the tenth floor, but most of them knelt on the ground begging for mercy. What she saw today was a scene she had never witnessed in decades. This person who entered from the tenth floor was challenging her here.
This woman had been on the ninth floor for a long time, waiting for the people on the tenth floor. She had been waiting for several years, and she never expected that they would finally arrive today. However, when she arrived, she found that this group of people were no different from the people she had met before. Just as she was about to deal with them as before, the middle-aged merchant suddenly became interested.
"So you mean you want us people on the ninth floor to welcome and congratulate you people on the tenth floor?" the woman laughed.
“That’s right. You should treat us well, because we are guests,” the middle-aged vendor continued.
"We really haven't been hospitable enough. How about this, since we can't offer you a welcome and congratulations, how about we invite you to stay at our place?" the woman continued with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhou, the middle-aged merchant, and Tie Dao immediately exchanged bewildered glances. Housing? Housing—it had been so long since they had ever been in contact with such a thing. They hadn't expected that there were houses to live in on the ninth floor. The people on the tenth floor had been inside the incineration field ever since they entered, never leaving it for even a moment. Therefore, it had been a long time since they had returned to the houses prepared for them in Shanghai.
"I have a feeling that this is ill-intentioned." Chen Zhou spoke his mind directly. When this woman said this, the army around her showed no intention of retreating. On the contrary, they became even more arrogant. Their weapons, which had been hanging down, were now slowly raised. It was clear that they were about to launch an attack.
"Do you think I'm that easy to fool? The house you're talking about, it's not a prison cell, is it?" The middle-aged vendor said the first sentence in a low voice to Chen Zhou and Tie Dao, and the second sentence to the woman opposite him.
