Protect Our Chief

Chapter 990 - 52: Wang Shouzhe! I Refuse to Coexist With You

In the military camp, soldiers in Profound Armor patrol back and forth, maintaining order with sharp eyes and a fierce presence.Their dark armor is heavy and mottled, with menacing barbs on the joints, clearly crafted for mortal combat. The armor is engraved with mysterious inscriptions, exuding a profound aura.

The strength of these soldiers is at least at the seventh or eighth level of the Qi Refining Realm, and the captains are almost all above the Spirit Platform Realm, with a cold and murderous aura. Clearly, they are seasoned veterans, the elite among the elite.

Apart from them, there are several scattered Black Tortoise Cultivators moving around the camp.

Unlike the soldiers wearing standardized Profound Armor on patrol, their clothes are clearly their own, clustering in groups of three to five, without forming a system. Yet, their aura is very strong, even those with Spirit Platform Realm Cultivation are considered low, while those in the Celestial Human Realm are not uncommon.

Even powerful figures from the Purple Mansion Realm, who hold esteemed positions within Daqian Realm and are rarely seen, appear here from time to time.

Some gather at the camp entrance to take demon heads from their Storage Rings, exchanging them for military achievements. Others stand at the warehouse entrance, exchanging achievements for rewards, while some bear injuries and head towards the Alchemy Room within the camp.

They do not belong to the Daqian Government but have voluntarily come to the battlefield as Black Tortoise Cultivators, able to exchange their captured demons for achievements. Among them, the largest group comes from the Lingyun Sacred Land.

Over the years, Lingyun Sacred Land has managed to balance with the Daqian Imperial Family and coexist by relying not only on the suppression of a Lingxu Realm Great Power but also on the unparalleled achievements earned through the strength and blood of countless disciples of Lingyun Sacred Land.

On the battlefield against the Outer Domain Demons, apart from the Daqian Military, it’s Lingyun Sacred Land that has shed the most blood and paid the most severe price.

No matter which force or country they originally belong to, on the Outer Domain Battlefield, they are comrades, companions, the common guardians of human civilization.

Of course, everyone has their own motives.

After all, they belong to different forces, and while jointly resisting external threats, secretly, they’re not immune to scheming and deceit. This cannot be avoided anywhere.

Back then, Zhou Yuhang, the Direct Disciple of Yuan Shui Ascendant from the Yuan Water Lineage of the Longzuo Purple Mansion Academy, was almost killed on the battlefield when ambushed by disciples of the Yin Sha Sect. To this day, his injuries have yet to fully recover, and he’s still in seclusion at Yuan Water Celestial Lake to heal.

However, Binglan Ascendant and Changchun Ascendant later personally went to the battlefield and exacted a heavy price from their adversaries on his behalf.

For countless years, similar incidents have occurred on the Outer Domain Battlefield, but due to the presence of formidable enemies and the top-tier human champions stationed there, even the cunning must restrain themselves and not act too excessively.

After all, upon the formation of the alliance, it was agreed beforehand that anyone who dares to disrupt the unity and stability of the human alliance shall be executed without mercy!

On this brutal battlefield, Daqian, though not the strongest, stands as one of the pillars that supports stability in the Eight Directions, holding up a sky for human civilization.

Within the Daqian camp, outside a tent bearing the general’s flag.

Four Profound Armor soldiers stand guard at the tent’s entrance, their eyes keen, aura intense and fierce, maintaining a constant state of vigilance even within the camp.

At this moment, in the distance, a troop suddenly approaches swiftly.

These people wear heavy dark armor, carrying a harsh aura, their armor stained with blood, an aura of blood lingering around them. Many bear severe injuries.

Clearly, they have just returned from the battlefield.

Compared to ordinary soldiers, their presence is more grand, their armor heavier, more refined, and their aura more profound and vast, obviously not ordinary soldiers.

The leading youth’s armor bears an Azure Dragon pattern in dark gold, signaling his noble birth from the Imperial Family.

This young man is none other than Prince Kang, Wu Chengsi, one of Daqian’s Quasi-crown princes.

Next to him is a youth not wearing armor, Gongyang Strategy, who has accompanied Prince Kang on the expedition.

His face is somewhat pale, his white robe marred with blood stains, almost dyed a dark red, but it’s not his own blood, it’s the blood of demons.

Walking along, the two excitedly discuss something.

Though this battle faced many twists and consumed considerable effort, the end result was extremely rewarding. The achievements from this battle will bring them significant benefits.

Human achievements can be redeemed for many valuable items, not all provided by Daqian—many treasures are also from the Cold Moon Immortal Dynasty and the Red Moon Demon Dynasty.

In the camp of the Immortal Dynasty, one can even redeem Ten-Thousand-Year Purple Ganoderma and Divine Power Spirit Treasure, treasures that even these Purple Mansion Realm powerhouses covet.

"Greetings, Prince. Greetings, Master Xuanmiao."

The guards at the tent entrance stiffen their gaze, immediately bowing to salute, displaying a respectful demeanor.

"At ease."

Prince Kang gestures, dismissing the soldiers behind him, telling them to rest and heal as they need, and bids farewell to Gongyang Strategy, instructing him to rest as well, before lifting the curtain and entering the tent.
