CHAPTER 650: CHAPTER 107: WARRIORS ENTICED BY RICH REWARDS

The roar of Long Jiuzun sent a shockwave through the crowd, making the majority of Dark Practitioners feel a surge of blood and dizziness.

Except for the Unicorn next to Yue Jinghua and the Cloud-piercing Ape Cat next to Cheng Ying, all other Sixth and Seventh Rank Dark Beasts became so frightened that their limbs went weak.

Indeed, the name of the Empire War God is well-deserved, thought Yue Jinghua with a secret shock in her heart.

"The Dark Skill cultivated by Long Jiuzun is called the Mountain-opening Roar, a Dark Sound Wave martial art. It can shatter the internal organs of enemies with its Dark Sound Waves," Cheng Ying’s words timely floated to Yue Jinghua’s ears.

Yue Jinghua stealthily glanced at Cheng Ying, only to see him looking as if nothing mattered, which made her feel even more puzzled.

"What are you staring at? You’re making me feel quite embarrassed," spat Cheng Ying, "This kind of sound wave martial art only affects those with Dark Power. For someone like me who doesn’t cultivate Dark Energy, it doesn’t really affect me."

Above on the Flying Dragon, Little Jinuo towered over, holding a stare contest with Long Jiuzun.

"Young General Long’s cultivation is indeed astounding," the Dragon Knights behind Little Jinuo were all dressed and ready, exuding a formidable aura.

Seeing Little Jinuo leading the charge, behind him were the uniformly dressed members of the Imperial Dragon Cavalry Group, each riding a Sub-Asian Dragon, charging forward rapidly.

On the other hand, Zhan BeiAo also arrived with a unit of Blood Cavalry Camp members.

In stark contrast, the Southern Expedition Army appeared disordered and messy.

Witnessing such a scene, Long Jiuzun’s face lost all its glory, and after a furious roar, those dandies of the Imperial City hurriedly gathered together.

Meanwhile, Yue Jinghua took the opportunity to lead the Golden Unicorn, blending into the crowd.

The Southern Expedition and Northern Expedition Army had all assembled. As the eight ceremonial cannon shots of the empire boomed, Princess Long Xue ascended the observation platform of the parade ground.

With a vigorous wave of her arm, her voice loud and clear reached the heavens, "Valiant sons of the Empire, today, you fight for the Empire. In the name of the Imperial Family, I promise that whoever distinguishes themselves in this rebellion will be heavily rewarded by the Empire. Whichever army, Northern or Southern, that quells the rebellion first and returns to the capital will be famed as the Empire’s number one unit."

The Empire’s number one unit?

As soon as Princess Long Xue announced this, the parade ground burst into thunderous cheers.

Unconcerned with lineage or pedigree, at this moment, everyone was only thinking about the promise made by Princess Long Xue.

Both Long Jiuzun and Little Jinuo were secretly competing, both wanting to achieve victory first and return to the Imperial City.

The Northern Battle’s Dragon Cavalry Group and Blood Cavalry, leading the charge, the Sub-Asian Dragons and Blood Cavalry rose into the air, flying towards the northern front of the Empire.

Inspired by the Princess’s motivating speech, those of the Southern Expedition felt their blood boiling and, one by one, they mounted their Dark Beasts, shouting the slogan "Long Live the Empire, Long Live the Princess," and flew towards the south.

Soon, the bustling parade ground was left with only Princess Long Xue and Zhan Tian.

"What do you think, which side, the Southern or Northern Battle, will triumphantly return first?" Princess Long Xue looked up at the sky, now just a speckle of dark dots, with a surge of uncontrollable passion in her heart.

If she weren’t a princess of the Empire, she might have joined this military campaign herself. The Empire has been at peace for too many years.

It is time for the blood of the Dragon War citizens to reawaken once again.

This time fighting in the south and the north was not only a test for the young generation of the Empire but also a test for her, the future heir to the Empire.

"From the current situation, it’s temporarily unclear. However, I don’t understand why the Princess doesn’t report the latest battle situation truthfully to the generals of both armies," Zhan Tian also found it difficult to make an immediate judgment.

Just half an hour ago, Princess Long Xue received two urgent military reports from the south and north of the Empire.

In the south, Fandi Port once again experienced a large-scale riot, and this time, the instigators of the riot...

As for the battle situation in the Shang Kingdom to the north, it was also not optimistic. Just half an hour ago, Princess Long Xue learned that before the Dragon War Empire decided to quell the rebellion, the Ruison Federation had already dispatched an elite artillery team to Shang Kingdom, trying to seize it before the Dragon War Empire could react.

Little did they know, the allegedly invincible Federation Artillery Camp was ambushed by a mysterious assault team from Shang Kingdom halfway through.

Including the Xuan Crystal Cannon invented by the Helian Family of the Ruison Federation, all their sophisticated equipment was wiped out, and it is said that an important member of the Helian Family was among them.

The Shang Kingdom army, which even the Helian Family could not handle, was certainly not a weak force.

The worst part was that neither the secret agents from the Dragon War Empire nor those from the Ruison Federation were able to track down the whereabouts of that surprise assault team.

That surprise assault team was like a ghost in the night, coming and going without a trace.

"Which military unit does the Princess think will return first?" Zhan Tian countered:

Faced with the same question, others would definitely answer that the experienced Northern War Army will be victorious, but Zhan Tian thought that as the saying goes, ’a newborn calf isn’t afraid of tigers’, perhaps the Southern Expedition Army will bring greater surprises.

But without exception, both Princess Long Xue and Zhan Tian believed that victory was undoubted for the Imperial Army.

What they didn’t anticipate was that this time, the elite among the elite, the Northern Expedition Army, encountered a devastating blow because their opponent was none other than Liao, the spy king from the 23rd century, who alone could make the entire United States Air Force tremble with fear.

Similarly, the originally deemed less challenging Southern Expedition also became difficult due to one after another unexpected variable arising.

While Princess Long Xue and Zhan Tian discussed the battle situation, the Southern Expedition Army flying south had already left the vicinity of Wohua Imperial City and entered the vast southern part of Dragon War.

The Dragon War Empire, with its vast territory, mostly consisted of high mountains and ridges, with Wohua Imperial City initially being a mountain city.

The farther south from the Imperial City, the terrain is like a staircase descending from high to low.

Led by Long Jiuzun, the vast Imperial new army left the Imperial City and headed straight for Fandi Port.

The new dragon knights, acting as the vanguard, rode the Sub-Asian dragons at the very forefront.

After Long Jiuzun’s Golden and Silver Qilin were forcibly taken by Yue Jinghua, this Southern Expedition could only draw a Snow Winged Dragon Colt from his residence.

The Dragon Colt, with white fur, large and tall without a single blemish of color, wore scales the same color as its master’s Dragon Scale Armor, and among all the refined or ferocious Dark Beasts of the wealthy playboys, it stood out quite majestically.

After flying for a while, Long Jiuzun spotted a small yellowish village below, which was their first destination, an Ancient Village with a medium-sized Transmission Array, Dawo Village.

"All units pay attention, immediately slow down, descend at a low speed, enter Dawo Village, and be careful not to disturb the local villagers and livestock. Violators will be punished for violating military discipline," commanded Long Jiuzun, leading the entire Southern Expedition Army down towards that Ancient Village.
