"Right now, we only have eleven arrow towers left—that's our biggest trump card.
In this battle, we lost seven arrow towers and lost 437 soldiers. If you hadn't come, our Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion would have truly collapsed this time. Shen Chengfeng sighed.
If the arrow tower is broken, you can repair it. At worst, you can just earn points, but once someone dies, they can never come back.
Moreover, to make up the hundred thousand, the Divine Clan will send fresh blood to join the Tianlong Legion, but these newcomers are not true warriors and will need to be tempered slowly to keep up.
What troubled Shen Chengfeng even more was that some powerful newcomers would rather be backup warriors, waiting for an opportunity to join other Tianlong Legions rather than join the Eighth Tianlong Legion. They all felt the Eighth Tianlong Legion had no future at all.
Those who also risked their lives and had some talent quietly waited for someone from other Tianlong legions to fall and seize the chance to join their legion.
So, every day, the Eighth Celestial Dragon Legion soldiers die, and the recruited newcomers tend to have average talent. Over time, the Dragon Legion will only grow weaker.
Shen Chengfeng was feeling hopeless. He had no power to change the current situation of the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion and could only let the team grow weaker and weaker. All he could do was struggle to hold on, but saw no hope at all.
He had tried countless times to change his situation, but with repeated failures, his willpower was worn down invisibly, and he became increasingly timid.
"Eleven arrow towers? Alright, that's fine. Let me ask you, after exchanging our gains for points this time, what useful things can we exchange?" Long Chen pondered for a moment and said.
"We've gained a lot this time. After deducting some compensation for the fallen soldiers, the remaining points can be used to restore the damaged arrow towers and add five new ones." Speaking of the gains, Shen Chengfeng finally felt a bit of spirit.
For the fallen soldiers, part of the compensation was allocated to the families of the deceased, but the remaining points remained very generous.
"What about the arrow tower? What else can you exchange? Long Chen asked.
"You can exchange many more items. I'll give you the list for you to take a look."
As he spoke, Shen Chengfeng handed Long Chen a jade token. The token lit up, and countless words appeared densely packed in the void.
This is a catalog containing armor, weapons, war tools, magical beast mounts, pet eggs, formation materials, pills, medicinal herbs, and other treasures—dazzling enough to make one's head spin.
When Long Chen saw the section on rare medicines, his heart raced wildly. The divine clan's rare medicines must be extraordinary—there must be twelfth-tier rare herbs, or even higher. These were exactly what Long Chen urgently needed.
However, Long Chen did not check the rare medicine but instead looked at the formation. Below the array directory, he searched for a long time and finally found a formation disk called Mirror Inside the illusion array.
"I need to buy some of this." Long Chen pointed at the formation disk.
"This mirror array disk is for setting up the Mazi Array. What use do we have for it?" Shen Chengfeng asked in confusion. It seemed that on the battlefield, they rarely used formations because the cost was too high and the returns were minimal.
"Buy three hundred, I need them." Long Chen said.
"Three hundred?" One 1,000 points, three hundred means 300,000 points. Half of our earnings here are spent on this. Shen Chengfeng was taken aback.
"That expensive?"
Long Chen was also shocked. All the formation disks in the Dragon Blood Legion were all handled by Xia Chen. Xia Chen had an overwhelming number of array plates, yet Long Chen had no idea they were this expensive.
You have to know, Xia Chen's formation plates were all drawn by himself, and selling them at a terrifying price would be terrifying.
Because the formation plates are very complex to carve and have a high failure rate, each one is extremely expensive.
"Even if it's expensive, I have to buy it. This is a necessity, otherwise I can't carry out my plan. Also, for this Sonic Light Bomb, I need to buy ten of them. Explosive Arrows, hmm, it will need eight thousand, right..." Long Chen listed more than a dozen items in one breath, making Shen Chengfeng's face turn green.
"Long Chen, we ... The Eighth Celestial Dragon Legion doesn't have that many points. Shen Chengfeng shook his head and smiled wryly.
"It's fine. You can talk to the brothers and have them contribute their points first. If they succeed this time, we'll pay them back double." Long Chen said with a smile.
"This... How could anyone even ask for it? Shen Chengfeng said with some difficulty.
Every Tianlong warrior can claim ten points per month from the Divine Clan, and these points are basically their lifeline.
They had to rely on these ten points to exchange for some essential items for cultivation, but in reality, these ten points were nowhere near enough.
Other Tianlong legions relied on collective battles, earning points and giving out benefits to everyone.
But the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion has been running a deficit these past few months. Not only have they not distributed benefits for months, but now they want everyone to hand over their savings. That's just too much.
"You're too embarrassed to say it? Alright then, I'll go talk. Long Chen stood up.
"Forget it, I'll talk about this matter myself."
Shen Chengfeng shook his head. Even if it was embarrassing, he had to speak up himself; otherwise, he wouldn't be a qualified commander and had no choice but to grit his teeth and go.
Half an hour later, Shen Chengfeng returned with slightly red eyes. Long Chen smiled and said, "So, how is it?" Surprising, isn't it? "
Shen Chengfeng nodded, his voice actually choked with emotion: "I was truly surprised. I didn't expect them to support me so much. Suddenly, I feel useless, that I let them down." It
turned out that Shen Chengfeng had brought up this matter and received everyone's support. They all took out all their points, and looking at those sincere faces, Shen Chengfeng almost burst into tears.
But now, with no outsiders around, Shen Chengfeng, this passionate man, finally choked up. It was both a feeling of emotion and guilt.
"I'm not a good commander, but each of them is a good warrior." Shen Chengfeng felt increasingly useless.
Long Chen smiled slightly, patted Shen Chengfeng on the shoulder, and said, "The reason they're willing to follow you on adventures is because of your unique charm. If you deny yourself, you're rejecting them." Shen
Chengfeng said a bit embarrassedly, "Sorry to make you laugh. I'm still so useless." "
You're wrong. Who says men can't cry?" I don't even know how many times I've cried. It's so infuriating that these guys are just too touching.
You and I are just like me; we both carry the future of everyone on our shoulders. Why am I fighting so hard? I'm not an idiot, after all. Isn't that just a little help? Long Chen shrugged and said.
"I'm much older than you, but in front of you, I actually seem so childish. Alright, enough talk. From now on, I'll sell my life to them."
Now, let's get to business. We've basically gathered all the things you want to buy. Next, what should we do? Shen Chengfeng took a deep breath to calm himself and said.
"From here on, just listen to me." Long Chen chuckled.
...
Three days passed silently, and this timeHeaven, Long Chen and Shen Chengfeng quietly slipped to the front of the battlefield.
Inside a huge rock, Long Chen peered out through a crack in the rock, seeing a field of ruins ahead.
"Is this your previous position?" Long Chen asked.
The stone they were on was a special tool that could conceal their presence and prevent enemies from discovering them.
However, such tools are extremely rare; the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion has only one of these, and it can only accommodate a few people.
"Yes, the original fortifications were completely destroyed, which is why they look like they are now." Shen Chengfeng nodded.
Long Chen continued watching, then suddenly chuckled and said, "Not bad. With the Mighty Blood Ox clan, plus the long-armed demon ape and wind-stepping demon beast, it's even better than I expected." "
With so many demon beasts, I'm dying of worry. I really can't see any good solution." Shen Chengfeng said, feeling a chill run down his spine.
With so many demonic beasts stationed here, relying solely on their Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion was nothing short of a pipe dream.
"If my Dragonblood Legion comes, I'll charge straight in and attack. But this time is different—I have to use my brain to solve problems. Honestly, I rarely use my brain anymore."
Long Chen pursed his lips, observed for a while longer, then asked Shen Chengfeng, "Is everything over there ready?" "
We prepared it three hours ago. Just now, I had them check again and confirmed there were no oversights. Now we're waiting for news." Shen Chengfeng said.
Long Chen nodded. It was best to be cautious. In fact, Long Chen believed that these Tianlong warriors had definitely checked countless times. After all, this was a matter of their entire fate.
Soon, Shen Chengfeng received the news and confirmed once again that everything was foolproof.
"Long Chen, what do we do next?" Shen Chengfeng said nervously at this moment; he still had no idea what Long Chen's plan was.
"What happens next will be simple." Long Chen gave a sinister smile, and the two of them slowly retreated, carrying the stone.
...
The Third Celestial Dragon Legion base: on the left was a huge spatial rift, and on the right was a bottomless crater.
Between these two natural barriers stood over thirty thousand Heavenly Dragon warriors. All of them were from the Third Heavenly Dragon Legion. Their armor was bright, their weapons excellent, and their spirits vigorous.
On the outskirts of the base, hundreds of massive magical beasts were vigilantly patrolling the surroundings. They had keen senses of smell and were extremely sensitive to the scent of demon beasts; if any beast approached, they would issue a warning.
With them present, these soldiers no longer had to patrol nervously and felt very comfortable.
"Report!"
Suddenly, someone sped over from afar, heading straight for the center of the formation. Ye Lingfeng sat inside the chariot and spoke, "What is it?" "
Reporting to Commander, the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion is besieging a group of elite beast beasts at the Ghost King Pit ahead to the right. It looks like they can be wiped out in less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick." The Celestial Dragon warrior said respectfully.
"Oh?" Looks like Long Chen still has some skills. Let's go see if this time we can drive Long Chen crazy. Ye Lingfeng's eyes lit up, and he immediately led a group of people, speeding the war chariot away.
