This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick! Chapter 1558 27: Westward Campaign! Westward Campaign!

Westward expedition!

This slogan was already voiced during Emperor Hong Guang's reign, when Qin Ziheng, still a Crown Prince, expressed his ambitious aspirations to Li Fei and Ming Qi.

Now, it has been thirty-one years since the Western Continent Alliance Army invaded the Da Lan Dynasty.

The Da Lan Dynasty is finally ready for the westward expedition!

The Ninth Year of Yuanxing, May 19th.

At the grand court eting, the Emperor officially decreed—

The Western Garrison Army, the Red Qilin Army, the Savage Killing Army, and two hundred thousand elite border army troops will form the West Expedition Army!

Commander of the Savage Killing Army, Li Tianyu, is promoted to General, commanding thirty thousand Savage Killing Army troops.

Eastern Territory Admiral Ye Jingfu is appointed as Vice Commander of the West Expedition Army.

Western Territory Admiral Luo Jing is appointed as Vice Commander of the West Expedition Army.

King Xuanmo, Wang Chengze, is appointed as Vice Commander of the West Expedition Army.

Military Affairs Grand Marshal Wenren Zheng is appointed as Vice Commander of the West Expedition Army, also serving as the Commander of the Western Garrison Army.

Duke Jing'an, Li Fei, is appointed as the Commander of the West Expedition Army!

This series of appointnts imdiately sparked widespread discussion.

Although Zuo Jun and Ji Yiheng also volunteered at the grand court eting, it was impossible for the Eastern Continent to be left without strong defenders, especially during the sensitive period following internal turmoil.

Among the Five Great Imperial Camp Armies, two are dispatched for the westward expedition, and Wenren Zheng is still responsible for directly commanding one, due to the limited number of individuals with 'Marshal Level' Military Dao cultivation available.

Ji Yiheng remains stationed at the Sword Tower, while Zuo Jun leads the Sky Blue Cavalry outside.

With these two present, Lanling City is guaranteed to be safe.

The remaining White Fla Army and Green Frost Army serve as mobile forces, ready to strike and suppress disobedience wherever needed.

As for Wang Chengze, the King Xuanmo, his unique Taoism allows him to triumph over the strong with the weak. With Li Fei and Wenren Zheng absent, leaving him in Lanling City was unsettling, so they decided to bring him along.

The Emperor appointing King Xuanmo as Vice Commander of the West Expedition Army clearly conveys this intention—

Fight well, and I will give you the opportunity to earn rits!

At the grand court eting, upon hearing this appointnt, many ministers could clearly see the usually 'martially obsessed, indifferent to the world' King Xuanmo unable to hide his joy!

At the peak level of combat power, with the West Expedition Army's departure, the Da Lan Dynasty can still rely on State Preceptor Tai Yu.

In the past battle against the West Pole Country, Tai Yu chose to stand with the Da Lan Dynasty.

Now, with the Daluo Sect and the Da Lan Dynasty in a 'honeymoon period', Tai Yu can still be trusted.

With the fifth in the world stationed in the Eastern Continent, even if the long-absent Jing Heng causes trouble after Li Fei and others leave, there is no need to worry too much.

In the worst-case scenario, the situation can be stabilized until Li Fei and others return.

In addition to the two Imperial Camp Armies, Qin Ziheng dispatched the Savage Killing Army, which can be considered Li Fei's 'personal soldiers'.

He even appointed Li Tianyu, who successfully broke through to beco a Martial Arts Master this year, as the commander of the Savage Killing Army, and assigned Li Fei as the Commander of the West Expedition Army.

This appointnt, coupled with Qin Ziheng's statent a few years ago about 'bestowing kingship on those of different surnas', was understood by the civil and military officials—

The Emperor is allowing Li Fei to take his personal soldiers to expand territories, and in the future, he might directly remain in the Western Continent as a king!

Centered around Lanling City, the news of the westward expedition spread in all directions, causing great waves in the Da Lan Dynasty once more.

This ti, however, the waves surged towards the west!

...

Extre Abyss.

Dressed in a golden robe, Li Fei stood at the edge of the abyss, the fierce wind making his robe flutter.

Monts later, ripples spread through the void.

The voice of the Void Pool Clam erged from it:

"Finally taking action? You humans are really troubleso."

Li Fei ignored it, waiting for a while longer, as a massive rumbling sound like mountains moving quickly emanated from below the abyss.

Tentacles first extended from the Extre Abyss, then Bone Li's large body leaped out of the abyss.

It looked up at the sky above. After several hundred years, this would be its first venture outside the abyss.

"I heard from you before that a thousand years ago, so Ninth Grade Beasts fled to the Extre Abyss, while others fled to the sea."

Li Fei communicated with the two Ninth Grade Beasts using Heart Sound, "How many Ninth Grades fled to the sea? Have you contacted them over the years?"

"No more than five."

"No contact."

This was the reply from the Void Pool Clam and Bone Li.

The Eastern and Western continents had traded for many years, never reporting ships encountering Ninth Grade Beasts at sea. It seems those that fled overseas, like Bone Li and others in the Extre Abyss, also lurk deep in the sea, rarely encountered.

As long as they are not provoked, it will be fine.

Li Fei didn't ask more, simply saying:

"Let's go."

Then the Void Pool Clam traversed the void, while Bone Li rode the air, flying towards the Cloud Sea.

Li Fei followed Bone Li into the sky, using magic to conceal it.

Bone Li's body was too large; without magic concealnt, its presence would inevitably cause panic among the people.

This was a trump card for the West Expedition Army, thus it wouldn't be easily exposed.

Moreover, the Heaven and Earth Qi outside the Extre Abyss lacked a high concentration of Yin Sha Qi.

If Bone Li couldn't receive sufficient Qi replenishnt for a long ti, it would have to continuously consu its blood and flesh, affecting its combat power.

Li Fei had to stay beside it, absorb Heaven and Earth Qi, and use the Mixed Heaven Golden Palace to convert it into the Yin Sha Qi needed by Bone Li, replenishing its energy periodically.

Although the order for the westward expedition had been issued, the army still needed so ti to complete their assembly.

Li Fei arrived at the Extre Abyss ahead of ti, escorting the two Ninth Grade Beasts to the Western Border.
