Chapter 965
965 the nicholas military stronghold
in the tenth domain, south of the nikusan river, there was a half-open military camp in an area where plains and hills connected.
although it was only a ten-meter high fence that symbolically outlined the territory, it looked simple and mediocre.
however, at the four corners of the camp, there were four 500-meter-high stone pillars that reached the sky, like the arms of a giant.
a huge dragon, a devil crow, a golden eagle, a sparrow … four transcendent lifeforms with at least the intermediate stage of the sovereign body were looking down at the world with an indifferent and cold gaze.
on their bodies, tiny human figures could be vaguely seen. they were all wearing full sets of armor, sitting boldly and decisively, and a thick and undispersed iron-blood aura was emitted from their bodies.
in the surroundings, or a little further away, there were still monsters of various sizes flying around, acting as ‘eyes’ and ‘sentinels’, keeping an eye on the sky and the ground, not daring to be distracted for a moment.
this was the “nicholas” military base.
it was named so because it was close to the nikusan river.
it was very young and had just been built two months ago. it had only been put into use for a short time.
in terms of function, it was not the strongest battle fortress, and it had nothing to do with the defensive fortress that guarded the key positions.
xuanji was a base-type military stronghold that was more inclined to logistics. its core function was to … set up barracks!
“boom boom boom!”
the five armored ground rhinoceroses strode forward and charged towards the back door of the military camp.
the soldiers in charge of reconnaissance and vigilance had already seen it from far away.
they didn’t stop him. instead, they nimbly commanded their pets to move away. they didn’t look surprised, as if they were used to it.
“phew … so this is the reserve camp? i didn’t think that one day, we would really come here and contribute our meager strength to the safety of the dynasty …”
“this camp doesn’t even have a few defensive runes, let alone a barrier that covers all areas. compared to the few super-large fortresses i saw along the way, it’s as simple as a thatched cottage …”
“shh! be careful with your words!”
” there are countless beast kings ‘auras in this place. we’re not even heavenly masters. what right do we have to judge them? ”
……
from the back of the armored rhinoceros, one figure after another jumped down.
more than half of them were middle-aged, with an imposing appearance and a heroic bearing.
a small portion of them were middle-aged, with wrinkled skin, white hair, and unkempt hair.
they were all quickly observing the inside of the camp in their own way. some were amazed, some were nervous, some were full of fighting spirit, and some were as calm as still water … their words and actions were varied.
“my lord! when can we go to the battlefield and kill the orcs with our own hands?”
a burly man suddenly bent his back 30 degrees and looked at an armored man sitting on the back of a bandit bone-clawed dragon. he said with grief and hatred, ”
” the orcs are despicable and shameless. they slaughtered hundreds of millions of our people and used them as food. wherever they go, smoke will rise and people will die! ”
“if i don’t kill such cruel and evil people, my wife and children in the netherworld, as well as my relatives who are beheaded, will not let me go no matter what …”
“sir, i, yan wu, beg for a battle! i will use my blood to bury the enemy!”
the burly man’s suppressed roar instantly suppressed the noise of the crowd.
everyone shifted their gazes and fixed their eyes on him.
” the heart is filled with hatred. it is a fierce and fearless axe. its strength is unparalleled. ”
on the back of the bandit bone-clawed dragon, there was an armored man who clearly had a military rank. he glanced at him expressionlessly and said indifferently, ”
“but … since you’ve chosen to join the ancestral dragon court’s army system and become a member instead of an independent bounty hunter …”
” in that case, obeying orders and commands is the first thing you need to learn. ”
” calm down. new soldiers, wounded soldiers, injured soldiers … as long as they come to the reserve camp, they must be re-grouped and led by the commander before they can participate in the front line of fighting. ”
” otherwise, with just you guys, the number of pets you have will only be food for your teeth. you won’t be able to defeat the well-trained elite orcs … ”
“little brother, lord chi is right!”
an old man with a broken arm poked his head out from a tent on the side and sincerely advised, ”
“entering the military department is a completely different concept from hunting freely.”
” the rule of the ancestral dragon court is,’ten people are a team, a hundred people are a group, and there is a commander. only then can it be called a camp.’ ”
” so far, there are more than 100 active legions on the battlefield, and there are always new recruits and new commanders. ”
” it won’t take long to gather and set off. we just have to wait patiently … ”
“milord, i am the son of the duke of jiang nan, jiang nan jue.”
a long-haired man in light armor and a jade pendant on his waist had a jade-like face, and a divine light flashed in his eyes.
he suddenly took a step forward, cupped his fists, and asked seriously, ”
“may i ask, how do you fight for the commander position?”
” i’m not as talented as my father, but before the age of 50, i was a lord and controlled a sacred beast. ”
” in addition, i’m familiar with military tactics, beast books, and history books. i don’t dare to say that i know the humanities and destiny, but i’m still a little confident that i’m not weaker than ordinary people when i lead a mere hundred people … ”
“the son of the duke of jiangnan? in other words … you’re the young sect leader of the jiang-nan sect?”
in the crowd, several people were dumbfounded. they looked at the long-haired man with a hint of respect.
the jiangnan sect was a new power in the tenth domain. in terms of scale and fame, they might be in the top 100.
their sect master, the duke of jiang nan, had become a saint venerable more than 800 years ago. he was now in the late-stage of the saint venerable realm and was in the limelight.
although his son was inferior to his father, he was also a man of true talent.
with his own ability, he could sign a contract with a saint beast species and widen the gap between him and the other masters of the same generation.
for the mid-tier masters who yearned for the realm of a human lord and the bloodline of a sacred beast, they were people worthy of envy and respect.
it didn’t matter even if these surprised and lamenting people were all old men with slightly frosty hair.
in the transcendent world, only strength mattered!
becoming a lord before the age of 50 and contracting a true sacred beast, these two achievements combined were worthy of the world’s respect and admiration.
“the duke of jiangnan?”
chi shu raised his eyes, a little surprised, but mostly calm.
“if what you said is true, this kind of superficial strength is indeed qualified to wield the commander’s order.”
” but … there can’t be any mistakes in this battle. in order to prevent the occurrence of similar incidents, except for the followers, vassals, and trusted followers of the royal court, any external forces who want to take the commander’s token must participate in the battle as soldiers. only after winning enough military merits and accumulating enough trust can they wield the real commander’s token. ”
“i see …”
jiang nanjue gently nodded and took a step back, his eyes revealing a thoughtful look.
