"What?!"
The Dark Night Queen’s face changed dramatically, and she stepped off the bed barefoot, grasping Luo Sha’s shoulder earnestly, "You encountered Lord Xue? Who was it? Who is Lord Xue?"
Luo Sha took a mont to collect himself, his face filled with disbelief, "It’s the Dragon King, the owner of Long Yan, the Dragon King. He is Lord Xue!"
"The Dragon King?!" The Dark Night Queen’s eyes widened in shock as she asked urgently, "Are you sure?"
"Positive!" Luo Sha nodded firmly, "Today, I had a disagreent with him, and then... "
Luo Sha briefed her on what happened in the Deathmatch Hall.
The Dark Night Queen let go of Luo Sha and sat back down on the bed, her expression grave, "With the Lord Xue revealed, shadows erge, the world alters, the Saint ascends!"
With each word spoken, the Dark Night Queen’s expression grew more solemn, and upon finishing the sentence, her face held an almost pilgrim-like reverence.
"Heh heh!"
Suddenly, the Dark Night Queen laughed wryly, "Our clan has guarded this prophecy for ten thousand years, originally believing that the Blood Venerate from a thousand years ago was the true Lord Xue. Our clan surfaced, assisting him in achieving great success.
Yet, unexpectedly, we were almost completely exterminated by the combined forces of the Martial Dao World of the Fla Dragon Kingdom, with our family suffering devastating losses, and only this branch of us managed to escape.
Now, in this Era of Martial Decline, Lord Xue has appeared again, but is he the real Lord Xue? Can he lead our clan back into the light?"
"Your Majesty, whether he succeeds or not, our ancestors’ ..." Luo Sha started anxiously.
The Dark Night Queen raised her hand to stop her, speaking firmly, "I cannot gamble with the lives of our people, we have so few of pure blood left."
After hesitating, the Dark Night Queen bit her lip and said with determination, "We have already investigated Jiang Chen’s background thoroughly. Send Night Owl, Rose, and Fire Phoenix to the Fla Dragon Kingdom, to covertly protect his three won. This could also be considered as forming a good relationship with him.
He owes Huo Huade a favor from the Grand Beast Arena, and with this, we will have done enough. Even when he finds out the truth, he won’t bla us."
"Yes!"
Luo Sha nodded solemnly and turned to leave the bedroom.
She understood the Dark Night Queen’s concerns; their clan had nearly vanished a thousand years ago because they had erged without confirmation, making the Dark Night Queen fearful.
The Queen wasn’t afraid of death, but she was terrified of her clan’s lineage ending with her!
...
While Jiang Chen was leading Long Yan in battles across Changlan City, an intense military exercise was underway throughout the Fla Dragon Kingdom.
In the Fla Dragon Kingdom, the Dongfang Zone was the hub of the extensive military exercises.
Clusters of n and won in military uniform were bustling about anxiously. At the head of the long conference table sat two major generals.
"Commander Zhang, I’m afraid that this ti Dragon Tooth can’t avoid the fate of being disbanded!" one of the major generals said, looking at the other with a hint of pity.
This was the exercise command center; however, it was the Red side’s command center, and this ti, Dragon Tooth was on the Blue side.
Commander-in-Chief Zhang, as the direct superior of the Dragon Tooth, distrusted the outco of this exercise and personally rushed to the Red Forces’ headquarters to monitor the battle. But the current situation had his heart in a vice.
From the start of the grand exercise, in addition to the Dragon Tooth, there were several other teams on the Blue side.
However, by now, their air power had been completely annihilated, the Armored Division was being chased and forced into hiding by the Red’s air power, and the infantry was being suppressed.
The entire situation for the Blue side had turned into a complete rout; defeat was just a matter of ti.
"Commander Xu, until the very last mont, no one can say the outco is decided!" Commander-in-Chief Zhang said with a pained expression.
Commander Xu, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Central Defense Area, was responsible for assessing the standards of Dragon Tooth in this grand exercise. He was also the commander-in-chief for the Red Forces from the Dongfang Zone this ti.
Commander Xu glanced at Commander-in-Chief Zhang but said nothing more. He knew all too well what it felt like to see a team he had personally watched grow up, the spearhead team of his own defense area, being decimated. So, he refrained from adding salt to Zhang’s wounds.
"Report, the Blue forces’ Armored Division has been spotted by our air power. Should we eradicate them?"
A mid-ranking officer approached Commander Xu, saluted with respect, and with an expression that showed his reluctance, looked at Commander-in-Chief Zhang and spoke softly.
Commander-in-Chief Zhang’s complexion suddenly turned extrely grim. If the Armored Division were to be wiped out, the Blue side would only have its infantry left, and that would an certain defeat in this exercise.
"Damn it! What the hell are those guys from Dragon Tooth doing?" Commander Xu snapped angrily.
After the grand exercise began, the Dragon Tooth Special Combat Team had seemingly vanished without a trace, never once appearing in the exercise. Now, as the exercise was drawing to a close, they were still out of sight, leaving Commander Xu seething with frustration.
"I believe in them!" Commander-in-Chief Zhang suddenly spoke up.
Commander Xu paused, turned his head in surprise, and looked at Commander-in-Chief Zhang, "Old Zhang, you still believe in them at this point? They..."
"Do you think they would just hide away and do nothing until the end of the exercise? Don’t forget who their team leader is—the hot-tempered Shen Xiangtian. When his temper flares up, he would even dare to curse at you and . Do you really think he would hide like a turtle until the exercise ends? Hide until Dragon Tooth is disbanded?" Commander-in-Chief Zhang spoke resolutely.
"This..." Commander Xu hesitated for a mont, his eyes showing deep contemplation.
The mid-ranking officer beside him opened his mouth as if he wanted to remind him of sothing, but after looking at Commander-in-Chief Zhang, he closed his mouth again.
"Old Xu, there’s no need to delay any longer. We can afford to lose. If we really lose, I will personally skin Shen Xiangtian alive!" Commander-in-Chief Zhang knew very well that Commander Xu wasn’t actually pondering anything but was trying to delay issuing the order to annihilate the Blue forces’ Armored Division.
After looking at Commander-in-Chief Zhang, Commander Xu let out a sigh, "Order: annihilate the Blue forces’ Armored Division with full force."
"Yes!" The mid-ranking officer took the command and turned to call the Red Forces’ air force commander.
"Order: annihilate the Blue forces’ Armored Division!"
"Annihilate your hamr!" A defiant voice ca through, causing everyone in the headquarters to freeze for a mont.
Commander-in-Chief Zhang’s entire body jolted, and he jumped up from his chair, hurried over to the mid-ranking officer, snatched the phone away, and roared loudly, "Shen Xiangtian, you bastard turtle, are you really one of those turtles? What the hell are you doing skulking around? What the hell do you plan to do?"
Through the handset, Shen Xiangtian’s hearty laughter could be heard:
"Haha... Old Zhang, you’re at the Red Forces’ headquarters too, huh? I’m telling you, blowing you up doesn’t an we, the Blue side, lose. That’s because you dodged out of conflict of interest, not because you’re our commander!"
