Chapter 229: Mobilizing Troops in Huangzhou
"Of course," Long Po Tian nodded.
After their conversation, Yang Chen leaped away, returning to the Shadowkill Celestial Kingdom.
"National Master, summon the Censor, Wind Carefree, to the palace," Yang Chen instructed.
"Yes, Celestial Emperor," Yi Tianzheng replied.
Moments later, Wind Carefree arrived at the palace.
"I pay my respects to the Celestial Emperor," Wind Carefree said respectfully.
"Censor, starting tomorrow, mobilize all Soldiers and send troops to Huangzhou!" Yang Chen commanded.
"Celestial Emperor? Sending troops to Huangzhou? Isn't that sending our Brothers to their deaths?" Wind Carefree countered.
"If we don't fight now, when the Western Continent attacks the East in the future, it won't just be two billion Mages or three hundred billion or four hundred billion troops! Do you understand?" Yang Chen shouted. "Only by letting them hone their skills now can we avoid being passive in future battles against the Western Continent!"
"The Celestial Emperor is wise; I understand," Wind Carefree said respectfully.
"Go then. According to National Master, do we currently have one hundred fifty billion Soldiers?" Yang Chen asked.
"Yes, this is just the surface. However, these soldiers are not very strong; there are seventy to eighty billion soldiers who are only at the Fighting King level," Feng Xiaoyao said.
"In the Celestial Kingdom, gather all those above the Fighting Saint level," Yang Chen commanded.
"The minister understands." After saying that, he turned and left.
The next day, a grand assembly of forty billion Fighting Saints gathered before Yang Chen.
"All soldiers, report!" Feng Xiaoyao shouted.
"Reporting to the Inspector, the first legion has three hundred million members at the Fighting Saint level, all present."
"Reporting to the Inspector, the second legion has three hundred million members at the Fighting Saint level, all present."
"Reporting to the Inspector..."
"Reporting to the Inspector, the twelfth legion has three hundred million members, all present. Please give your instructions!"
Feng Xiaoyao nodded and then quickly ran to Yang Chen's side, respectfully saying, "All Fighting Saints are present. Please give your instructions, Celestial Emperor!"
"Return to formation!" Yang Chen, dressed in black Demon God Armor and wielding the Yanhuang Blood Sword, commanded with authority.
"Yes, Celestial Emperor," Feng Xiaoyao replied respectfully.
"The Upper Realm bullies those of us in the lower realm. The Order of the Celestial Kingdom remains unmoved; how can I watch them slaughter our compatriots? There may be internal conflicts, but now that external enemies are invading, we must unite and resist together!" Yang Chen declared.
"Unite as One, let's stand together against the enemy!" billions of Soldiers shouted in unison.
Yang Chen pressed his hands down and said solemnly, "Then, we will attack Huangzhou! Protect our homeland!"
"Attack Huangzhou, protect our homeland!"
"Set off!" Yang Chen commanded coldly.
"Yes, Celestial Emperor!" Wind Carefree responded, then grabbed the Shadow Kill Imperial Flag beside him, raised it to the sky, and shouted, "Let's go!"
A series of horn sounds echoed, followed by the beating of war drums, "Dong dong dong."
Immediately, nearly four billion Soldiers mounted their Demon Beast steeds and, under Wind Carefree's lead, marched towards Huangzhou. Over the years, with Yang Chen's help, Wind Carefree had broken through to the peak of Eight Star Duel Saint, just a step away from Nine Star Fighting Saint.
Wind Carefree did not carry the Shadow Kill Imperial Flag because it had already advanced to a mid-grade Heavenly Artifact and could cover two-thirds of the Eastern Continent.
"Husband." Zhuque, Tian Mingyue, Xie Yao, and Roxie in her soul form called softly.
Yang Chen turned around, dismounted from Howling Sky's back, embraced each of the four women gently, and said, "Wait for me to return. It won't be long."
"Mm, we will wait for you."
Then Yang Chen mounted his horse and leaped away.
"Celesital Emperor, I have some concerns about this war," Wind Carefree said as he rode a Nine-Stage Black Wind Leopard next to Yang Chen.
"It's fine. Right now, we need the Soldiers to interact more with the Mages and understand their characteristics, so that when we fight against the Western Continent in the future, we won't fall behind," Yang Chen said.
"But those Mages are really powerful. Before the Brothers even got close, they were struck down by fire, ice, and meteors falling from the sky," Wind Carefree sighed.
"Hehe, Mages are the strongest warriors for ranged attacks. However, their physical bodies are weak. Do you understand?" Yang Chen smiled.
"Are you saying we should recklessly get close and engage in close combat?" Wind Carefree asked.
"Exactly. According to what Eagle Emperor said, Mages must chant spells to use magic. The more powerful the magic, the longer it takes to chant. However, a Grand Sorcerer can instantly cast fifth-level magic," Yang Chen explained.
"How powerful is fifth-level magic?" Wind Carefree inquired.
"It can instantly kill a fully armed Doubler or severely injure a Fighting Spirit," Yang Chen replied lazily.
"Celestial Emperor, why do you seem so unconcerned?" Wind Carefree asked in confusion.
"First of all, we have the presence of the Soul Summoning Tower. Why should we worry? Secondly, I really want to know how long they can bounce around in the Eastern Continent without any magical elements in the air," Yang Chen said playfully.
"I don't understand," Wind Carefree said bitterly.
"You will understand in the future."
A day later, all forty billion Soldiers gathered at the edge of Huangzhou.
"Celestial Emperor, what should we do now?" Wind Carefree asked.
"You all wait here. Six Sovereigns, step forward!" Yang Chen commanded. One division of Eight Sovereigns, with Yi Tianzheng handling state affairs at Shadow Kill, and both the Demon Emperor and the War Emperor still in the Wilderness.
"Your servant is here!" Six Sovereigns stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Accompany me to the battlefield in Huangzhou to assess the situation," Yang Chen commanded.
"Celestial Emperor, let My Lords go instead. Your precious body is worth gold; why take such risks?" Shadow Emperor replied respectfully.
"No, this time, I will advance and retreat together with the Soldiers!" Yang Chen said firmly, which also served to encourage the Soldiers.
"Shadow King, lead the members of Shadow Kill Pavilion to monitor the surroundings!" Yang Chen commanded. Since Shadow King Fu Tengfei was promoted to Saint of Combat, Yang Chen had entrusted Shadow Kill Pavilion to him.
"Yes, Celestial Emperor," Shadow King replied respectfully.
"Seven Princes, heed my command and set out with me!" Yang Chen shouted.
"Yes, Celestial Emperor." The eight then flew out swiftly.
"The entire army, take a rest wherever you are!" Wind Carefree shouted.
"Yes!" everyone responded. After all, in the army, Censor is equivalent to Celestial Emperor.
In Huangzhou, the battlefield was chaotic, with limbs and corpses scattered everywhere.
"Celestial Emperor?" Dragon Emperor broke the silence surrounding Yang Chen.
"This is war. Alas," Yang Chen sighed as he gazed at the two opposing forces fighting in the distance.
One side consisted of the people from the Dragon Sky Immortal Kingdom, while the other side was a group of Mages standing in the distance, holding wooden staffs embedded with gemstones. Yang Chen knew that these were the weapons of the Mages from the Western Continent, wands that amplified magical strength.
"I finally understand how they are casting spells without any magical elements in the air," Yang Chen said, looking at the magical stones in the hands of the Mages.
"Celestial Emperor, what should we do now?" Thunder Emperor asked.
"Charge in!" Yang Chen commanded.
"Charge in?" Thunder Emperor replied in surprise.
"What? Are you afraid of dying?" Yang Chen asked with a smile.
"With the Celestial Emperor's order, I will face death without hesitation!" Thunder Emperor said resolutely.
"Then go," Yang Chen instructed.
"Yes, Celestial Emperor!" Six Sovereigns replied respectfully before galloping out.
