Chapter 099: The Iron Horse Wrapped in Corpses, the Battle Robe Penetrates Armor Red!
"I really don't care for the Count of the Jia Shi Dynasty. How about this, big brother, if you become emperor, then grant me the title of Count?" Wan Sanqian said.
"Alright, if I become emperor, the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce will be designated as a state enterprise!" Yang Chen said seriously.
"A state enterprise? I don't understand," Wan Sanqian asked in confusion.
"A state enterprise is a national business, unique and unparalleled," Yang Chen explained.
"So you're saying that in the entire Empire, there will only be my Wanjin Chamber of Commerce?" Wan Sanqian inquired.
"Exactly," Yang Chen nodded and replied.
"I look forward to that day. Well then, big brother, I must take my leave. If there are any troubles, just let me know. With this token, you can mobilize any items worth up to one million from the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce," Wan Sanqian said as he took out a purple token and handed it to Yang Chen. Yang Chen took it and saw that one side was engraved with 'Wanjin' while the other side had the character 'Shang'.
"Thank you," Yang Chen said respectfully.
"Between brothers, there's no need for such formalities," Wan Sanqian waved his hand. After that, Wan Sanqian left, informing Yang Chen that the batch of goods would definitely be delivered to him within a month. After sending off Wan Sanqian, Yang Chen found Li Qi and told him that there was no need to purchase armor anymore; it was enough to urge everyone to speed up the forging of Armor-Piercing Arrows. An Armor-Piercing Arrow is simply an arrow with the Fighting Spirit of warriors below the Nine-Star Dou Huang Realm attached to it, giving it armor-piercing and barrier-breaking effects. The Zhu Ri Jian is an arrow enhanced with Fighting Spirit from Dukes and Demon Lords; as for arrows crafted by Fighting Saint Experts, they are called Break the Sky Arrows! Yang Chen instructed Zhao Yu to pass on the two manuals 'Shadow Art' and 'Blood Qi Disintegration' to everyone before returning to his room to continue inscribing his Triad Spirit Gathering Array.
Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed. One morning, "Assemble!" With Yang Chen's loud call, everyone gathered promptly. Three minutes later, all were lined up neatly in front of Yang Chen.
"The Shadow Kill Camp has a total of five thousand four hundred thirty-two members. Please give your orders."
"Starting today, we will march eastward to reclaim lost territory—Lake City! Do you have confidence?"
"Yes!"
"Good! Everyone can go to Brave Earl to receive one thousand Armor-Piercing Arrows and one hundred Zhu Ri Jian. Go to Aoying Bo to receive four-tiered Beast Unicorns. Go to Li Qi's Thousand Household for armor," Yang Chen commanded. Although Unicorns are not the best military mounts compared to Beasts, they are only second to five-tiered Beasts like Nightmares. Nightmares may not be the best mounts either, but there are far fewer five-tiered Beasts than four-tiered ones; thus, Nightmares are considered standard military mounts.
"Understood, Leader." Two hours later, everyone mounted their blood-white Unicorns, equipped with Heavenly Bows and donned in Silver Chainmail, waiting for Yang Chen's command.
In contrast, Yang the Great Leader sat on the back of a Silver Giant Wolf known as Howling Moon Wolf, his long black hair flowing in the wind. A Phantom Wing Scorpion circled around his shoulder while he carried a Blood-colored Longsword and shouted loudly:
"I am a good son, destined for the battlefield! The iron horse carries the dead, and the battle robe is soaked in red! Let's set off!"
"The iron horse carries the dead, and the battle robe is soaked in red!" Immediately, five thousand four hundred fifty-one riders urged their furious horses towards Lake City.
In ancient times, Genghis Khan led three thousand iron cavalry southward, causing the Han people to retreat; now, in another world, Yang Chen leads five thousand iron cavalry eastward to fight in the Eight Directions!
History repeats itself in another realm. This is just the beginning; in the future, there will surely be millions of heroes competing in the Eight Directions!

After two days of travel, a group of over five thousand finally arrived near Lake City. After resting for a moment, Yang Chen gathered Lin Tingting and others to ask, "With our military strength, how should we attack the city?"
"Break through the walls," Shi Heng said directly.
"Break through the walls? The city gates are not that easy to breach. Moreover, even if we do break through the gates and charge in, we might not necessarily win. We only have five thousand men, while the enemy has eight thousand," Yang Chen replied.
"This isn't just a simple charge. After breaking through the walls, five thousand arrows will shoot at once; it won't take many rounds before the city will be in chaos," Li Qi explained.
"That's right," Shi Heng said. "The enemy should only have one Dou Zun expert. I'll hold him off while Aoying Bo goes to eliminate the Dou Zun and Dou Huang experts. After that, it will be much easier."
"I have no problem with that," Lin Tingting said.
"Then we'll act tonight at midnight," Yang Chen said. "Li Qi, pass down the order to inform the soldiers to prepare everything before midnight."
"Yes, Chief."
"Everyone should adjust yourselves; we have a fierce battle ahead tonight," Yang Chen said.
"Yes, Chief."
"Chief," Tian Ci said.
"What is it, Tian Ci?" Yang Chen asked, while the others also paused and did not leave.
"The star signs tonight indicate disaster ahead, with fortune being half and half," Tian Ci said.
“Disaster Star? What does that mean?” Yang Chen asked.
“It’s a menace, a moody fellow. As for his realm, he should be at least as strong as Brave Earl,” Heavenly Gift explained.
“Oh? So he’s quite a formidable character? Is there any way to avoid him?” Yang Chen said.
“No. Even if he leaves today, he will return tomorrow when we attack Lake City. This is the calamity we must face when trying to assault Lake City. To attack Lake City, we must endure this trial,” Heavenly Gift explained.
“In that case, since we can’t avoid it, let’s do it tonight to prevent any further complications,” Shi Heng and Lin Tingting both nodded in agreement. Time slowly passed, and before long, midnight was approaching. Meanwhile, in the lord's mansion of Lake City, two Demon Lords were drinking and enjoying themselves, reveling in the dance.
“Poison Master, Senior Brother, how is this wine? It’s been treasured by me for decades, Zhuangyuan Hong,” a stern-looking man said to a small old man in a black robe with a shriveled face.
“Tang Guang, to be honest, while this wine is good, it’s really not as good as my Ten Thousand Poisons Brew. You won’t drink it even when I offer it to you; sigh, what a disappointment,” the black-robed old man, Poison Master, replied.
“Well, let’s save that for next time. We’ll drink your Ten Thousand Poisons Brew then. Cheers,” Tang Guang stammered.
“If it weren’t for our past as Senior Brothers, I wouldn’t even offer you a drink. But thinking about it, it has been decades since Old Ghost passed away; I can’t help but miss him,” Poison Master reminisced.
“Senior Brother, we are the last two of our lineage. Is there really any need to talk about the past? Have you forgotten how Old Ghost treated us? He soaked us in poison just to let the concoction seep into our flesh; our bodies have endured countless tortures!” Tang Guang said indignantly.
“And because of that, we are now immune to all poisons, aren’t we? That’s why we have achieved such heights, isn’t it? I’ve refined poison into my body and am immune to all toxins. You’ve drawn poison to refine your body into one that is impervious to all toxins. Anyone who collides with your body would probably corrode and die instantly,” Poison Master said.
