Jianchen, the vice-commander of the Divine Sword Corps, and the two viceroys left the Qin Sky Hall together. As soon as they left, the four of them split up. Jianchen went to the Cloud Palace alone to bid farewell to Qin Ji, while the vice-commander and the two viceroys went to command the army.
Arriving at the Cloud Palace, the guards outside all bowed to Jianchen with great respect. They did not hide their admiration for him at all. They did not dare to stop him at all.
When Jianchen passed by a few guards, one of them immediately called out, "The Imperial Protector has arrived!" This was for Qin Ji. Now that Jianchen's status was extraordinary, he was very different from before. In the eyes of the guards, the fact that the Imperial Protector had taken the initiative to come to Qin Ji was already giving Qin Ji enough face. If Qin Ji did not come out to receive him personally, it would be rather rude.
As expected, as soon as the guard finished speaking, Qin Ji hurried out of the Cloud Palace. Although he was as close as brothers with Jianchen, Jianchen's status was still there. Moreover, they were in the royal palace, so Qin Ji dared not be rude.
"Haha, Jian Chen, what brings you here today? If there's anything you need, you can just get someone to inform me," Jian Chen laughed. Qin Ji laughed aloud. He felt proud that Jian Chen had come to find him of his own accord. He felt extremely proud of Jian Chen.
"I've come to bid farewell to you," Jianchen also smiled at Qin Ji as he spoke calmly.
"You're leaving so soon? Why don't you stay a little longer?" Qin Ji was very reluctant to see Jianchen leave so soon.
Jianchen became apologetic. He said, "Something has happened at home. I'm worried, so I need to leave as soon as possible. I'm afraid something might happen again."
With that, Qin Ji fell silent. He frowned and pondered for a while. Afterwards, he seemed to have made up his mind. He stared at Jianchen with shining eyes and said, "Jianchen, let me go with you."
"What!" Jianchen stared at Jianchen in surprise, "You want to go to the Kingdom of Gesun with me?"
Qin Ji chuckled and joked, "Yep. What's wrong? You don't agree? You've already come to my home. Are you not going to let me take a look at yours? "
Jianchen smiled freely. He patted Qin Ji's shoulder heavily and said, "I agree. Why wouldn't I agree? You're welcome to visit my home. I think my family will be very happy."
"That's good. I was worried that your family wouldn't welcome me. Let's go. Since you're in such a hurry to go back, let's go to the Space Gate right now. I don't have anything to pack. It's all in my Space Ring." With that, Qin Ji immediately left Cloudtraversing Palace with Jianchen.
Jianchen and Qin Ji passed through the halls of the imperial palace, heading straight for the Space Gate. From afar, they could already see a group of soldiers in silver-white armor walking out of the palace in a straight line. Their steps were orderly, without the slightest hint of disarray. Their footsteps produced rumbling noises like thunder. Although it was monotonous, there was a rhythm to it. The entire group was filled with a sharp aura of slaughter. One could even vaguely sense the stench of blood that filled the air. It symbolized that every single soldier in the group had been tempered by life and death, and their hands were covered in blood. They were elites who had emerged from endless slaughter.
"Is this the Eastern Deity Sword Legion? They really are the elites of the Qin Empire. They're much more powerful than the three thousand black-armored soldiers of the Kingdom of Gesun, "Jianchen nodded to himself as he looked at the soldiers of the Eastern Deity Sword Legion.
"The Eastern Divine Sword Legion is one of the five most elite legions of my Qinhuang Kingdom. There are a total of two million people. Every person who enters the Eastern Divine Sword Legion is an elite carefully selected from thousands of soldiers. Then they are thrown to the outskirts of the Cross Mountains to train and fight with countless ferocious Magical Beasts. Therefore, every soldier of the Eastern Divine Sword Legion has experienced countless life and death situations. Their experience is incomparably rich. Whether it is their ability to survive or their fighting strength, they are the best. In the Tianyuan Continent, the only ones who can surpass the five legions of my Qinhuang Kingdom are the elite legions of the Three Great Empires." Qin Ji explained from the side with an incomparably proud expression.
"It really is a very powerful legion. If these five hundred thousand soldiers were placed in my homeland, they would definitely be invincible. Just these five hundred thousand soldiers would be enough to wipe out any kingdom," Jianchen praised.
Qin Ji chuckled, "Let alone wiping out a kingdom, even sweeping through several kingdoms would be a piece of cake. This is because the Qin Empire provides over two hundred Human Tier Battle Skills and over fifty Earth Tier Battle Skills for each legion to learn. As a result, every single soldier of the five legions knows at least one battle skill. How can their battle prowess be compared to those of smaller kingdoms?"
Jianchen was secretly shocked when he heard that. Battle skills were extremely precious on the Tian Yuan Continent. Even if they possessed them, they would not be passed on. Even the Kingdom of Gesun did not provide battle skills to the Black Armored Army for free. Anyone who wanted to obtain a battle skill required sufficient strength and contribution. However, the Qin Empire had actually provided over two hundred Human Tier Battle Skills and over fifty Earth Tier Battle Skills for free. This was not a normal level of wealth.
"They really are worthy of being one of the eight great empires of the continent. The Qin Empire is actually much more powerful than I had imagined," Jianchen sighed inside as he recognized the Qin Empire's strength once again.
Very soon, Jianchen and Qin Ji arrived at the location of the Space Gate. The king of the Qin Empire had already been waiting there for quite some time. Five old men stood behind the king.
"Imperial Protector, this king was worried that five hundred thousand soldiers would not be enough, so I discussed with the other Imperial Advisors. Five of them have expressed their willingness to follow you back to wipe out the enemy. Let me introduce them to you. These five Imperial Advisors are Xuri, Haoyun, Lai Boer, Jiadi Lai Er, Jiadi Cai Jing," the king stepped aside and introduced the five old men to Jianchen one by one.
"Greetings, Imperial Protector!"
With the king's introduction, the five old men stepped forward and clasped their hands at Jianchen.
"Five Imperial Advisors, there's no need to be so greedy. Jianchen is very grateful for your assistance." Jianchen returned the greeting with a smile and calmly accepted the help of the five Imperial Advisors. If he could bring a few more Heaven Saint Masters back, he could prevent the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom from seeking outside help. Although there were only a few powers that dared to oppose the Qin Empire, he still had to be on guard.
At this moment, the vanguard of the Eastern Deity Sword Legion had already arrived at the location of the Space Gate under the lead of vice-commander Qin Wuming. Jianchen did not waste any more time and handed the crystal that Cao Keqin had created and the map of the Kingdom of Gesun to the Imperial Advisor controlling the Space Gate.
The Imperial Advisor in charge of controlling the Space Gate took the map from Jianchen and looked at it. He then placed the crystal in the center of the formation and stuffed Class 5 Monster Cores into the holes around it to replenish its energy. With the replenishment of energy, the formation on the ground slowly lit up and slowly formed a chaotic Space Gate. After waiting for a while, the chaotic scene within the Space Gate gradually became clearer.
Jianchen focused his gaze and saw that the scene within the Space Gate was exactly the location that Cao Keqin had set. He could even faintly see the tall and majestic walls of Lore City in the distance.
"Yes, this is the place. Let's go first!" Jianchen immediately said and stepped through the Space Gate. With this step, he had directly arrived at Lore City from the Qin Empire. It was faster than a rocket.
After exiting the Space Gate, Jianchen looked at Lore City in the distance and discovered that it was still the same as before. There was an endless stream of people entering and exiting the city gates. Everything seemed very peaceful, and there was no tense atmosphere.
Seeing this scene, Jianchen slightly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Kingdom of Gesun was still relatively peaceful while he was away.
"Jianchen, is this your hometown?" Qin Ji also came through the Space Gate and stood beside Jianchen, his eyes curiously looking at the city walls in front of them.
"That's right. My home is in the city in front of us," Jianchen replied with a nod.
Soon, the five Imperial Advisors, Qin Wuming, and his two sons also came through the Space Gate. Behind them were the soldiers of the Eastern Deity Sword Legion in silver-white armor.
As soon as they walked out of the Space Gate, they looked around curiously. They all wanted to see what kind of place could give birth to someone like the Imperial Protector.
"Lord Imperial Protector, where should we send the army?" Qin Wuming came to Jianchen's side and asked.
Hearing this, Jianchen looked around and thought for a moment, then said, "There is limited space in the city. It will be very difficult to settle down 500,000 people. It just so happens that the terrain here is spacious enough. Let's set up camp here temporarily."
"Yes!" Qin Wuming cupped his hands and then went to arrange for the endless stream of soldiers coming through the Space Gate.
Not long after, the originally spacious area was filled with hundreds of soldiers. Many of the soldiers dispersed under the orders of Deputy Commander Qin Wuming, making space for the people behind them.
Jianchen stood nearby and looked at the endless stream of soldiers coming through the Space Gate. After a moment of thought, he asked, "Qin Ji, roughly how long will it take for all 500,000 people to arrive here?"
Qin Ji stared at the Space Gate for a while, then he estimated in his mind based on the speed at which the soldiers were passing through. He said, "At this rate, we can probably get 30,000 people here in two hours. In 24 hours a day, we can send 360,000 people. It will take around a day and a half."
Jianchen nodded slightly, then he stood there quietly and watched the soldiers of the Eastern Deity Sword Legion arrive through the Space Gate. A sense of pride welled up in his heart.
In the city gate tower of Lore City, the general of the city guard was leisurely reading a book. Right at this moment, a few soldiers ran in from outside and knelt down on one knee, reporting, "Reporting to the general, we discovered a group of unknown people ten kilometers away from the city. All of them are wearing armor and seem to be part of the army. Furthermore, the number of people is still increasing. There are already several thousand of them."
