As for the other small, scattered forces, there is no need for the main force of the legion to be stationed there.
Wherever the official proclamation of Zhongzhou reached, and wherever Zhongzhou's prestige extended, countless forces chose to submit without bloodshed.
In less than ten days, the military headquarters and Thunder Bureau awakened individuals from all over Zhongzhou were efficiently deployed to the Great Wall border like a dense swarm of ants.
At this moment, in the eyes of these soldiers who were about to embark on their journey, there was no fear of war, but rather a burning, almost fanatical excitement!
Expanding territories! A name etched in history! These two phrases are enough to ignite any passion!
Once they conquer the entire Central Continent, all of them will be remembered in the history of the Central Continent.
However, not all foreign tribes were willing to submit to the expansion of Zhongzhou. In particular, those foreign powers that actually controlled the land and population were unwilling to relinquish their power and be so easily annexed by Zhongzhou.
The edge of the Khanate region.
The First Legion's massive column has arrived at the border of Zhongzhou.
The army led by Legion Commander Bai Linzhu has more speed-type awakened individuals, making them more suitable for dealing with the fast-running Khan tribesmen.
However, the moment the First Legion of Central Plains set out and crossed the Great Wall beyond the border of Central Plains, the massive army was immediately discovered.
On a gentle slope in the far distance, in an area that should have been under the control of the Heavenly Khan, a group of foreigners with distinctly giant wolf appearances appeared strangely.
"Look, there are quite a lot of Awakened Ones in Central Continent."
A massive werewolf, its body covered in thick, gray-black wolf fur and its head almost entirely wolf-like, opened its mouth in a deep voice, its sharp fangs gleaming coldly in the rain.
Around him stood dozens of werewolves, exuding the same wild and ferocious aura, their forms almost identical to those of the giant wolf.
"Hey, you know what, these guys seem to have spotted us." A slightly smaller werewolf licked his lips, his tone flippant.
"So what if they found out? Running fast doesn't mean they're strong." A disdainful sneer came from the side.
The werewolves gazed at the First Legion from afar, chattering amongst themselves, their words filled with arrogance, seemingly disregarding the massive legion before them.
The werewolf at the head of the group was the most robust and imposing, his silver wolf hair standing upright in the rain, gleaming with a sharp, cold light. Looking at the departing First Legion, only his gaze betrayed a hint of solemnity.
His nostrils flared violently, as if he had sensed danger, and a low, excited growl escaped his throat:
"Hmm... I smell it, it's Star Lord's scent!"
Upon hearing this, the werewolves around him immediately dropped their disdain and became alert, without doubting his words at all.
Because he is not only the leader of the new generation of giant wolf clan, but also one of the twelve holy seats, the eighth holy seat Howling Moon Silver Wolf - Kerry Oldman!
Oldman's perception far surpassed that of all the werewolves present, and his sensitivity to his nemesis, Star Lord, was self-evident.
As the primary enemy of the Central Continent Star Lord, the Twelve Holy Thrones would never allow the Central Continent authorities to unify the entire Central Continent so easily.
Even if they cannot stop the army, they should at least delay it for a significant amount of time, and ideally, successfully slow down the army's advance.
Therefore, the werewolf clan reached a deal with the Khan's people to fight against the Central Plains together.
And just as the werewolf Oldman said, his judgment was absolutely accurate.
At this moment, standing beside Bai Linzhu, the commander of the First Legion, was the woman dressed in an elegant white dress with a cool and aloof demeanor—the Sixth Star Lord, Bai Ruyu.
To ensure the absolute safety of Bai Linzhu, the commander of the First Legion, and his eldest son, the Bai family actually sent Bai Ruyu, a Star Lord, to personally accompany the army on the expedition!
This seemingly extreme protection masks a deep-seated distortion within the Bai family—a blatant disregard for women and a preference for sons that has reached an appalling level!
Even though Bai Ruyu was exceptionally talented and became a Star Lord, in the eyes of the old fogies of the Bai family, his importance was still far less than that of Bai Linzhu, who was regarded as the heir.
Although the Bai family treated the brother and sister differently, Bai Linzhu and Bai Ruyu had a good relationship in private.
As the older brother, Bai Linzhu empathized with his sister's plight and naturally did everything he could to help her. He was even willing to give her all the resources that the Bai family had allocated to him.
However, the Bai family seems to only recognize male offspring. No matter how much potential or how powerful Bai Ruyu is, even though he has now become the sixth star lord, he still cannot gain the approval of the elders of the Bai family.
Bai Linzhu sadly discovered that, based solely on his personal will, he was utterly unable to shake the foundations of his family's decaying edifice.
He also realized that with his current status, there was no way he could change the Bai family unless... he could become the new head of the Bai family.
From then on, Bai Linzhu began to seriously cooperate with all the Bai family's demands, all in order to inherit the position of family head and change everything that was twisted in the Bai family.
Within the legion, although Bai Ruyu was not a perception-type awakener, she seemed to sense something and a sudden surge of hostility rose involuntarily from the depths of her heart. This feeling also made her aware of a certain gaze upon her.
Bai Ruyu looked up into the distance, her cold gaze fixed on the direction where the many werewolves were hiding.
The werewolf Oldman also felt a surge of cold hostility, but he was well aware of the huge gap between his own numbers and overall combat strength.
If we were to lead the werewolves to fight the first legion at its peak morale right now, it would be like throwing an egg against a rock. Even with their powerful regenerative abilities, they would only face certain death.
"Hmph! Retreat!" Oldman snorted and made a decisive move. The many werewolves around him immediately followed him and retreated silently into the deeper Rain Curtain Hills.
