"By your human time calculations, we've been fighting for two weeks now."
High in the sky, the youth's posture remained elegant, and his gorgeous clothes were without a single wrinkle, making him appear even more composed.
Lu Xingchuan swung his halberd to block his attack with exceptional skill: "Your men are running to their deaths on the border of the Dragon Kingdom. I think this kind of thing can happen a few more times."
In this direct battle, the Dragon Kingdom achieved a near-total victory.
Although it wasn't a complete rout yet, the situation quickly changed after the initial stalemate.
When did it start?
It probably started when the guerrilla groups were always able to complete their missions very quickly.
During this time, Lu Xingchuan did not leave the high altitude, but the ground command would report the situation on the front line to him at any time.
The guerrilla group is one of the strongest teams in the entire Abyss region's military. With their rapid support, many emergencies can be dealt with and resolved at the fastest speed.
That's how advantages are gradually accumulated.
——
Finally, amidst the sounds of war filling the sky.
The horde of monsters announced its retreat.
Amidst billowing dust, the beast horde, now nearly half its original size, retreated into the distance.
Jiang Wuyuan narrowed his eyes to calm his rapid breathing, and a belated sense of joy at the victory in the war welled up in his heart.
Although the emotion wasn't particularly strong, it unconsciously brought a smile to Jiang Wuyuan's face.
"We won?" Si Kai asked blankly, holding up his shield.
Xu Angran grabbed the big guy's shoulder and patted him hard on the shoulder: "Yes! We won!"
Xi Yang had experienced this situation many times before, but she still happily raised her head, waved her slender hand, and said loudly, "I'll treat you to drinks when we get back to the city!"
"Okay!"
Amidst laughter and cheers, the soldiers returned to the city one after another.
——
The military camp was extremely lively tonight.
The officers turned a blind eye and let them cause trouble.
The campfire was burning brightly, and a vast expanse of green had gathered around it.
Qi Anlan pulled Jiang Wuyuan to sit down next to him and handed him a large glass of beer: "Kid, you've been drinking before, haven't you?"
Jiang Wuyuan swallowed the words "never drunk it" that were about to slip out, nodded slightly, and accepted the bubbling beer, which was taken as an admission of Qi Anlan's words.
"Come on, bottoms up!" Qi Anlan laughed, clinked glasses with Jiang Wuyuan, and then gulped down the wine in his hand.
There aren't many days in the military where drinking is permitted, and every soldier cherishes this opportunity.
Sitting with a group of good brothers who have been through life and death together, around a campfire, bathed in the night sky, feeling the gentle evening breeze, and drinking strong and spicy liquor.
Who can say that this isn't a scene that everyone has longed for in their hearts?
Jiang Wuyuan made no attempt to be reserved and, imitating Qi Anlan, gulped down large mouthfuls of wine.
Although it was his first time drinking it, Jiang Wuyuan really liked the spicy flavor.
"good!"
Seeing the young man drink the entire glass of wine in one go, Qi Anlan liked his straightforwardness even more and brought over a bucket to refill Jiang Wuyuan's glass.
"Come on, try Xiao Yang's cooking." Qi Anlan put down the wine barrel and handed Jiang Wuyuan a plate of roasted meat.
The deer meat sizzles and drips with oil when roasted, with a crispy outer layer and a tender inner layer.
Jiang Wuyuan acknowledged the female soldier's culinary skills.
Not far away, Ruan Kongyin was with his hunting party members. When he saw Jiang Wuyuan's gaze sweep over him, he raised his hand and waved the vegetables in his hand.
Jiang Wuyuan immediately understood.
"Commander Qi, I'm going to my classmate's place now." Jiang Wuyuan stood up to say goodbye.
Having shared two drinks with Qi Anlan, it was time for him to leave.
"Okay, go ahead." Qi Anlan nodded with a smile. "If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Qi. Contact me anytime using the bracelet if you need anything."
Jiang Wuyuan knew that Qi Anlan wanted to repay a debt of gratitude, so he did not refuse: "Okay."
After saying that, he walked towards Ruan Kongyin's direction.
"Xiao Yuan's here! Come on, have a drink with us!" Si Kai had gotten to know Jiang Wuyuan better these past few days and had started calling him by the same name Ruan Kongyin used. "At least half of our hunting team's results this time were thanks to you. You're a big hero!"
Jiang Wuyuan didn't take credit: "It's a collective achievement. Cheers."
"cheers!"
Qin Tianan also came over and secretly clinked glasses with Jiang Wuyuan.
Ruan Kongyin watched their actions with amusement, and sipped her wine with composure.
Students and teachers from the four universities, along with support teams from other universities, will depart tomorrow to return to their schools.
This is mainly because the border is located in the outer region of the abyss, where it is still susceptible to the corruption of dark forces.
Although they have purification orbs, it's not good for them to stay here for too long given their cultivation level.
The troops guarding the border will also rotate shifts on schedule.
"Do you like life in the military?" Ruan Kongyin asked with a smile as she looked at the young man who sat down next to her.
"This place is very nice."
But Jiang Wuyuan never wanted to peacefully guard a region; he wanted to always be at the forefront of battle, no matter where.
Therefore, he will not become a border guard.
Ruan Kongyin understood Jiang Wuyuan's unspoken meaning and changed the subject: "You also received the invitation to the ancient secret realm from the military, right?"
Jiang Wuyuan nodded.
There's no need to hide this. He was one of the men who intercepted the Night Owl with Ruan Kongyin, so he had already guessed that Ruan Kongyin would also receive an invitation.
"After testing, it was determined to be the dwelling place of an ancient major sect, and there should be some kind of opportunity for inheritance within it," Ruan Kongyin shared the information she knew. "Most of the people exploring this time are from the military. The advantage of traveling with the military is that we don't have to worry too much about killing and stealing treasures. However, we should still be cautious and wary of others."
