Outside the Imperial City.
On the spacious open ground, a group of armored soldiers gathered together like a black cloud pressing down on the city, and their imposing manner shot into the sky like a rainbow.
"These are the reinforcements? Looks like there's only around 10,000 people … It seems to be a bit too little, right? "
Xiao Yu frowned as he gazed at the group of soldiers that stood in neat rows in the distance.
"Soldiers are valued for their quality, not their quantity."
Duan Lingtian spurred his horse to walk beside Xiao Yu and lightly smiled.
He was able to discern that these soldiers were different from ordinary soldiers. Every single one of them emitted a valiant aura, and their cultivations were obviously not low.
"Xiao Yu, don't underestimate this 10,000 man army. Even if they were besieged by an ordinary army of a few hundred thousand, they would still be able to easily charge out of the encirclement!"
Xiao Xun's eyes focused as he slowly spoke.
"Could it be that this is the Crimson Wyrm Army under the command of the Divine Might Marquis, Grand General Nie Yuan?"
Xiao Yu glanced at the group of soldiers that led them out of the city, and only now did he notice that the armor of these soldiers was inscribed with the pattern of a Crimson Wyrm.
This type of armor was precisely the symbol of the Crimson Wyrm Army!
"You only noticed now?"
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled, as he'd noticed this long ago.
The Crimson Wyrm Army was one of the three elite armies under the command of the Divine Might Marquis and Grand General Swift Cavalry. These three elite armies only had 10,000 soldiers each.
These 10,000 soldiers were generally martial artists at the seventh level of the Core Formation Stage or above.
Some of the Decurions and Centurions were even existences at the Origin Core Stage …
As for the Chiliarchs, they were all existences at the Nascent Soul Stage!
Before long, the group of Paladin Academy students, including Duan Lingtian, gathered together with the other soldiers of the Crimson Wyrm Army.
Right at this moment, a tall young man in silver light armor spurred his horse forward.
His gaze was cold as it swept past the group of Paladin Academy students, and his tone was calm. "Hello, I'm the commander of the reinforcements heading to the northwest border battlefield this time. I'm called Nie Fen!"
Nie Fen!
The son of the Divine Might Marquis, Nie Yuan!
An existence like a proud son of heaven.
The eyes of most of the Paladin Academy students shone when they heard Nie Fen's self-introduction.
"He's Nie Fen?"
"As expected of the son of the Divine Might Marquis, his bearing is extraordinary. Supposedly, this Nie Fen only graduated from our Paladin Academy a few months ago, and he was already a fifth level Origin Core Stage martial artist when he graduated. "
"26 years old, fifth level of the Origin Core Stage …. With such natural talent, I'm afraid only Duan Lingtian and Xu Qing are able to surpass him in the younger generation of the Crimson Sky Kingdom."
"This time, Duan Lingtian and Xu Qing have also joined the reinforcements. The three great geniuses of the Crimson Sky Kingdom's younger generation have gathered together!"
…
The group of Paladin Academy students whispered amongst themselves.
Duan Lingtian raised an eyebrow. Xu Qing was here too?
Looking around, he also found Xu Qing in the crowd.
The current Xu Qing had lost his former sharpness and had become more steady. He seemed to have changed a lot.
"I'll say the ugly things first! Although all of you are students of Paladin Academy, from this moment onwards, you can be considered to have joined our Crimson Wyrm Army. You must obey military orders, and if you violate military orders, you will be punished according to military discipline! Now, someone will distribute the armor of the Crimson Wyrm Army to all of you. Change into it as soon as possible. "
Nie Fen's loud voice continued to sound out.
After he finished speaking, he spurred his horse and left.
Beside Nie Fen, an old man in casual clothes sat astride his horse as well, and his eyes narrowed as he followed Nie Fen like a shadow.
It was as if he was Nie Fen's shadow.
Not many people noticed that at the instant Nie Fen turned around and left, Nie Fen's gaze seemed to be able to penetrate through the layers of obstructions and descend onto the violet colored figure within the group of Paladin Academy students.
Noticing Nie Fen's gaze, Duan Lingtian lightly nodded to him.
In next to no time, Duan Lingtian, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Xun had changed into the armor of the Crimson Wyrm Army.
The armor seemed to be cumbersome, but it was actually light and convenient. When worn, it didn't affect one's movements in the slightest. Moreover, it was able to play a protective role to a certain extent.
"The two of you do look quite decent when wearing this armor."
Duan Lingtian glanced at Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun and lightly smiled.
When the two of them wore the armor of the Crimson Wyrm Army, they really did look quite decent.
"Aren't you the same?"
Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun looked at Duan Lingtian as well.
Presently, Duan Lingtian's sword-like eyebrows were tall and straight, and his handsome face revealed a trace of coldness. After wearing the fitting armor, his entire person seemed to be awe-inspiring and had an extraordinary bearing.
Duan Lingtian's eyes focused and a heartfelt smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.
Even though he'd lived two lifetimes and had seen many grand scenes in his previous life, he still couldn't help but be slightly excited in his heart.
A strong wind rises and clouds soar. A warrior leaves and never returns!
"Depart!"
Right at this moment, Nie Fen, who was the commander of the Crimson Wyrm Army, suddenly gave the order.
His loud and clear voice was like a thunderclap that entered into the ears of everyone present.
Subsequently, the army that was formed from over 10,000 people spurred the steeds beneath them to gallop out with a momentum like thunder!
Everywhere they passed, the earth quaked and the mountains swayed.
They set out early in the morning and stopped at noon to rest for a while before continuing on their journey. Only when the sun set in the west did the Crimson Wyrm Army stop their footsteps under the command of Commander Nie Fen and set up camp in the wilderness for the night.
Under the illumination of the bonfire, tents rose up one by one, forming a dense mass.
Duan Lingtian, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Xun were currently working together to build a small tent.
This would be the residence of the three of them tonight.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian frowned, as his acute Spiritual Force told him that a gaze had just descended onto him.
With a glance, what entered his eyes was a group of Crimson Wyrm Army soldiers, and he was utterly unable to discern who was looking at him.
"This gaze seemed to have descended onto me this morning at the moment I changed into the Crimson Wyrm Army armor … Who exactly is it?"
Duan Lingtian was slightly puzzled in his heart.
He was sure that the owner of this gaze wasn't Nie Fen, nor was it a student of Paladin Academy.
Meanwhile, the tent had been built. Duan Lingtian didn't think any further and sat around the bonfire in front of the tent with Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun.
Presently, the group of Crimson Wyrm Army soldiers and some Paladin Academy students had all taken out their rations and were gnawing on them.
Xiao Xun took out his rations as well and gave some to Xiao Yu and some to Duan Lingtian.
"Eating this thing isn't nutritious."
Duan Lingtian didn't receive it and had a face full of disgust. Then he raised his hand and withdrew a large square block of ice from his spatial ring …
Under the puzzled gazes of Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun.
Duan Lingtian placed the block of ice beside the bonfire.
The ice quickly melted, and the suckling pig within it revealed its true appearance.
"F * * k! Duan Lingtian, how big is the space in your spatial ring? You actually brought this thing with you. "
Xiao Xun couldn't help but curse and was dumbstruck.
Xiao Yu was stupefied as well.
As far as they were concerned, an ordinary spatial ring only had a space of one cubic meter, and it simply couldn't contain more than a few of these chilled suckling pigs.
"Hurry up and help break it down! You're talking so much, do you not want to eat anymore? "
Duan Lingtian threw the suckling pig in his hand to Xiao Xun as he glared at him.
Xiao Xun received the heavy suckling pig and grinned. "Of course I want to eat! If there's meat to eat, who would eat that crappy rations! "
Meanwhile, Duan Lingtian took out a few long iron skewers and a pile of seasonings and salt.
Om!
Duan Lingtian's hand swiped past his waist and the Violet Myrtle Flexible Sword whistled out. With the help of Xiao Xun, he quickly broke down the processed suckling pig.
"Duan Lingtian, you don't look like you're going to war, but instead like you're going on vacation."
Xiao Yu used an iron skewer to pierce through a large piece of suckling pig and placed it on the bonfire to roast. He sprinkled salt and seasonings on it as he shook his head and laughed.
"It wasn't easy to come out, so I can't wrong myself. Where would I get the strength to eat those rations? "
Duan Lingtian rotated the iron skewer in his hand as he roasted the meat and laughed.
Soon, the fragrance of the roasted suckling pig in the hands of Duan Lingtian's group of three pervaded the air …
"F * * k! Where's the fragrance coming from? "
"Isn't this fragrance from roasted suckling pig? Who's eating roasted suckling pig? "
"It's Duan Lingtian's group! They really know how to enjoy themselves, they actually brought out suckling pig to roast. "
"As expected of the genius disciples that the Duan Clan values highly. It's so convenient to have a spatial ring."
...
The group of Paladin Academy students all looked enviously at Duan Lingtian's group as their saliva dripped all over the ground.
Compared to the group of Paladin Academy students, the group of Crimson Wyrm Army soldiers were much calmer. They minded their own business as they roasted the bonfire and ate their rations. After they finished eating, they entered their tents to rest.
"Satisfying!"
Xiao Xun gnawed on the roasted suckling pig and his face revealed a satisfied smile.
Duan Lingtian and Xiao Yu were also eating meat with large mouthfuls with expressions of satisfaction.
"It would be great if we could have some wine at this time."
Xiao Xun's eyes shone.
Some of the nearby Paladin Academy students were completely speechless when they heard Xiao Xun's words.
A man whose heart is never content is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant!
We don't even have roasted suckling pig to eat, yet you're still not satisfied and still want to drink wine?
Don't be so infuriating!
However, in the next moment, these Paladin Academy students were stunned once again.
They saw Duan Lingtian stretch out his hand and three jugs of wine appeared out of thin air …
"Wine naturally can't be lacking when eating meat. Come, drink!"
Duan Lingtian said with a smile.
"Duan Lingtian, you really brought wine!"
Xiao Yu fiercely swallowed a mouthful of saliva and had a pleasantly surprised expression. Shortly after, he and Xiao Xun took the jugs of wine and started drinking in large mouthfuls …
Under the attentive gazes of a pack of hungry wolves, the three of them ate meat and drank wine at the same time. They wolfed down the food and only stopped after a long time.
"So full!"
Soon enough, the roasted suckling pig was finished by the three of them, and the three empty jugs of wine were also thrown to the side.
"I'm going to relieve myself."
Xiao Xun said before running into the distant forest to relieve himself.
After Xiao Xun and Xiao Yu successively went to relieve themselves and returned, Duan Lingtian walked out as well …
However, just as Duan Lingtian stepped into the bamboo forest, his Spiritual Force became vigilant. He could feel a wave of danger gradually approaching, as if it would descend at any moment.
Taking a deep breath, Duan Lingtian's figure moved and directly flashed forward.
Spirit Serpent Movement Technique!
And right at this moment, a wave of scattered sounds came from behind. A robust figure flew over and surpassed Duan Lingtian in the blink of an eye, blocking Duan Lingtian's path.
