Chapter 321

Looking through the transparent shield, one could see the pitch-black sky.

The light here was extremely scarce, almost indistinguishable from the dead of night.

Usually, the entire fortress relied on various items to provide light.

But now, the light from the shield illuminated the entire fortress.

It also lit up the land for ten kilometers around.

People coming and going were in a hurry, their faces grave.

It was always like this before a major battle.

In the center of the fortress, the massive Demon Observation Eye had stopped rotating.

It was looking in one direction—the direction from which the enemy was about to arrive.

The Demon Observation Eye at Fortress No. 6 was noticeably larger than the one at Fortress No. 1.

"I heard from my teacher that the visual range of the Demon Observation Eye can reach up to 10,000 kilometers."

"That is why it can issue warnings in advance, allowing us to prepare for battle."

Bai Yiyuan had once explained the function of the Demon Observation Eye to Lin Moyu.

Its primary function was to observe the enemy's movements; even invisible enemies could not escape its gaze.

The Demon Observation Eye was also one of the greatest masterpieces of the human Alchemist.

On the command platform below the Demon Observation Eye stood a Legion Overlord in military uniform.

The Legion Overlord was a Legendary-class profession, and they were extremely rare.

However, the Shenxia Empire had a large population, so a few Legion Overlords would always emerge.

Moreover, there was no need for too many Legion Overlords; having a dozen or so was enough to support an entire war.

Like for Fortress No. 1 through Fortress No. 9, only nine Legion Overlords were needed.

The Legion Overlord present this time was not General Ni Xiong, whom he had met at Fortress No. 1.

However, his appearance was somewhat similar to General Ni Xiong; they were both from the Ni family.

The Ni family bloodline was special; they were a family of Legion Overlords.

Apart from the Ni family, he had not heard of anyone else awakening as a Legion Overlord.

This person's aura was deeper than General Ni Xiong's, and his level was clearly higher.

Lin Moyu saw his military badge.

Three-star Colonel…

Higher than his own.

When Lin Moyu looked at him, he also looked at Lin Moyu.

Clearly, he was surprised by Lin Moyu's level.

But upon seeing that Lin Moyu was a one-star Colonel, he couldn't help but nod at Lin Moyu.

Military rank was more telling than level.

Lin Moyu also nodded in acknowledgment and then stopped paying attention.

Both were Colonels, although the other was a three-star and he was only a one-star.

Their status was basically on par.

By now, he had walked up to the ramparts, his gaze fixed on the darkness outside the city, in the exact same direction as the Demon Observation Eye.

It was pitch black there, and no matter how hard he peered, he couldn't see anything.

But since the Demon Observation Eye had detected something, it couldn't be false.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for a Grade-1 military order to be issued from Fortress No. 1.

It was even possible that Fortress No. 1 was already engaged in battle.

"Legion Overlord Ni Jun, I'm here." Someone arrived beside Legion Overlord Ni Jun. "Do you know which Demon King's army it is?"

The person who arrived was a one-star Colonel, qualified to stand on the command platform side by side with Legion Overlord Ni Jun.

Lin Moyu recognized this person; it was he who had presided over the class change array when Lin Moyu changed his class.

[Array Master Zhang Qian]

At that time, he was level 52; now he had leveled up to 53.

The two clearly knew each other and had a good relationship. Legion Overlord Ni Jun gazed into the distance, "The battle won't start for a while yet. The enemies haven't arrived, and we know nothing for now."

"The enemy this time seems a bit mysterious. But it doesn't matter; I have already taken over the arrays in the city, so you can rest assured." Array Master Zhang Qian also said in a deep voice.

Although his level wasn't high, the special nature of an Array Master allowed him to exert astonishing power on the battlefield.

He was very confident about this battle.

The arrays set up in Fortress No. 6 over the years were immensely powerful.

They were enough to sway the outcome of the battle.

Legion Overlord Ni Jun looked outward for a moment, then his gaze fell back into the city.

On the city walls, various Professionals were moving quickly.

They formed teams and took their positions, their movements very orderly.

Subsequently, army units ran onto the city walls in formation and began to stand guard.

Outside of these teams, Lin Moyu stood all alone, appearing particularly conspicuous.

He stood on the city wall, his demeanor completely different from the tension surrounding him.

It was as if the impending battle was nothing in his eyes.

Coupled with his level 35 status, he stood out even more.

"What are you looking at?" Array Master Zhang Qian followed Legion Overlord Ni Jun's gaze and immediately spotted Lin Moyu.

A look of surprise appeared on his face, "It's him."

Legion Overlord Ni Jun asked curiously, "Do you know him, Array Master Zhang?"

Array Master Zhang Qian said, "I've met him once; I was the one who presided over this little guy's class change ceremony. I didn't expect that in just a few months, he's already level 35. This leveling speed is a bit too fast."

— Seeking Flowers —

"But what is a level 35 doing here? If things go wrong, he could die."

A unique profession, a brand-new profession, and that little skeleton that looked like it would fall apart in the wind at any moment.

They had all left a deep impression on him.

Legion Overlord Ni Jun was greatly astonished, "You're saying he only changed his class a few months ago? A new Professional from this year? He's only 18 years old."

Array Master Zhang Qian nodded, "Although it's only been a few months, this little guy is different. He is this year's national top scorer."

Legion Overlord Ni Jun chuckled, "A top scorer, that is indeed different. Array Master Zhang, look at his military rank."

Array Master Zhang Qian looked over and saw Lin Moyu's golden military badge.

Just like his own, a one-star Colonel.

He couldn't help but let out a strange cry, "A one-star Colonel, how is this possible?"

Legion Overlord Ni Jun laughed happily, "You were shocked, right? To be honest, I was also startled just now. A level 35 one-star Colonel has never appeared before."

Array Master Zhang Qian could hardly imagine how Lin Moyu had spent these past few months.

Leveling up so quickly was already incomprehensible.

To also be able to raise his military rank to a one-star Colonel, Array Master Zhang Qian wondered if Lin Moyu had gone to the Abyss World and was grinding demons there to level up.

… 0

And that the demons were lining up to be killed by him.

Otherwise, how could he level up so fast?

He didn't even know how many years it had taken him to reach one-star Colonel.

"A miracle!" After holding it in for a long time, that was the only sentence Array Master Zhang Qian could manage.

Legion Overlord Ni Jun suddenly thought of something, "I remember that in a major battle not long ago, the youngest second lieutenant in human history was born."

"It must be him."

Although Legion Overlord Ni Jun did not participate in the battle at Fortress No. 1, he had still heard some news.

Array Master Zhang Qian said with curiosity and anticipation, "I really want to see what kind of surprise he will bring us when the battle starts."

Legion Overlord Ni Jun felt the same, "I hope it will be a big surprise."

The teams on the city wall were ready.

Legion Overlord Ni Jun shouted in a low voice, issuing the command, "Activate Legion Mode, everyone join the Legion!"

As the commander of this war, he deservedly became the Legion Commander.

Array Master Zhang Qian was the Deputy Legion Commander.

Following that were the various teams within the Legion.

The Legion had tens of thousands of people; in terms of scale, it far exceeded the one Lin Moyu had experienced at Fortress No. 1.

Each team consisted of six to twelve people.

There was also a portion that formed teams of one.

Lin Moyu was like that; he formed a team of one.

Lin Moyu saw the information of the Legion Commander and Deputy Legion Commander, Legion Overlord Ni Jun.

[Legion Commander: Legion Overlord Ni Jun, level 63]

[Deputy Legion Commander: Array Master Zhang Qian, level 53]

When he saw the name Array Master Zhang Qian, Lin Moyu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Then he saw that it was indeed Array Master Zhang Qian, the one who had presided over his class change ceremony in Xihai City.

Array Master Zhang Qian nodded and smiled at Lin Moyu, greeting him.

Legion Overlord Ni Jun's voice boomed through the fortress, soul-stirring.

"The Legion is formed. I am the Legion Commander. Military merit will be collected centrally and distributed according to merit after the battle."

"The Legion is formed. You are all teammates; skills will not cause friendly fire, so you can unleash your full power."

"The Legion is formed. If anyone cringes or retreats during the battle, they will definitely be punished after the war."

Chapter 296 The Dragon Race Returns to the Yuan Battlefield

With the military order issued, everyone pricked up their ears, standing in battle readiness.

Array Master Zhang Qian and Lin Moyu greeted each other from a distance, without saying much.

Suddenly, someone let out an exclamation.

"How is there an extra Deputy Legion Commander?"

"Yeah, who is this Lin Moyu? Only level 35, how did he become a Legion Commander?"

"I don't know. A little guy who is only level 35, isn't this just courting death?"

"Could there be a mistake?"

"Could it be that he has some connections and is here to leech off military merits?"

In the position of Deputy Legion Commander, after Array Master Zhang Qian, a Lin Moyu suddenly appeared.

Many people exclaimed in succession, not knowing what had happened.

It was impossible for someone at level 35 to even come to Fortress No. 6; the lowest level here was a level 40 high-level Professional.

A low-level Professional coming here was definitely just here to die.
