There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 519, A Good Young Man from the City of Hope

There's one advantage to summoning the Chief Grand Administrator of the City of Hope.

Entrusting these miscellaneous resources to Lena is almost equivalent to giving them to the goddess of rest.

Of course, this might also be to make him feel more at ease about being a hands-off manager.

Lena was summoned.

His expression was very calm.

But it was precisely this calm that made Xiao Yang inexplicably uneasy.

Despite having just destroyed a large world, he has made a name for himself throughout the entire universe overnight.

"Of course, it's hard to say whether the reputation is good or bad."

At this moment, I felt inexplicably guilty.

"These are all yours! Um! I suddenly remembered I have some things to take care of, so I'll be going now, Lena!"

"and many more."

"My great hero!"

Calm, unwavering words interrupted Xiao Yang's escape attempt.

"I have something else to do."

………….

Outside the City of Hope, on a wide-open training ground.

A dense crowd of people gathered here.

These are the newly formed Salvation Army.

This batch of Salvation Army personnel is somewhat different from previous ones.

More than half of the staff consisted of young, somewhat inexperienced teenagers.

They were the first batch of graduates from the Extraordinary Enlightenment Class promoted by Xiao Yang.

They were also the first immigrants to arrive in this land of decay.

It must be admitted that from the moment Xiao Yang raised his banner to today, the time spent building the City of Hope from an empty, destroyed city has not been long enough.

So short that the new generation, the infants truly born in the decaying land, are only just out of the babbling stage.

Everything is different now than before.

During this period, the bureaucratic system led by Lena issued a series of preferential regulations for these young seeds.

It's just like.

"A giant, carefully, hoards an excessive amount of fertilizer, illuminating the new sprout emerging from the eggshell."

Be quiet and stealthy.

These new generation of little ones are generally overnourished.

Chubby and chubby, it ran around the City of Hope with a big smile on its face.

The city showed a special kind of tolerance towards these little ones.

At least the crooked-mouthed statue of Xiao Yang in the city center was climbed by these children.

The quiet and solemn heroes' cemetery is also left to these chubby little guys to play and frolic.

"They are the future of this world."

"But it still needs time to grow."

The current main force consists of these young boys who have completed the first batch of advanced training courses.

Their origins are all over the place.

He was probably a precocious wheat field boy who had been working in the fields for generations.

They arrived together with his hunched-over parents, whose hands were covered in calluses.

He could also be a scavenger trapped in a harsh world, wandering the underbelly of large cities.

Forced to report his name by the gang, he came into this world without knowing why.

A young nobleman practicing martial arts in preparation for a promising future.

The workshop was relocated.

Military aid...

Various reasons.

Okay, okay, they're pretty much the same anyway.

People who come to the Land of Decay are like this: a huge crowd, from all walks of life, all kinds of beings.

The only difference between them is that they are younger.

Without the numbness and vicissitudes ravaged by time.

At this moment, on the field.

At the rally before heading to the battlefield and towards that boundless wilderness.

These young people, one by one, stood tall and straight, their eyes burning, all looking ahead at the slender figure on the high platform.

Xiao Yang was somewhat unaccustomed to such intense gazes. He sensed an indescribable fervor in the eyes of these young people.

Pointing to oneself.

He didn't feel like he had done much.

These are the results.

"Resources, knowledge, and the path to climb higher."

in exchange.

"Enemies from all sides, an endless war in which there is no end in sight."

This is an exchange.

He didn't quite understand why there were so many people in front of him.

I don't understand why their eyes have such a fanatical look.

He came here.

"Because of Lena's invitation."

And Lena will extend an invitation to him.

"Because of letters of wishes."

As their training was about to end, these young men were about to head to the battlefield.

The training instructors generously made a small promise to them.

"You can make a request, but it can't be too unreasonable."

These are all minor requests.

At this point, whether you ask the instructor for a suitable weapon or some common extraordinary materials, your request will be fulfilled.

It can be considered a benefit for these greenhorns.

But no one expected it.

More than half of the new recruits shared a common, grand wish.

"They wanted to see that great hero."

That's quite a wish.

Given Xiao Yang's current status, he is comparable to a god, and gods are not easy to see.

This situation alarmed the instructors, and the report was passed up the chain of command until it reached Lena, and then Xiao Yang found out.

Finally, Xiao Yang stood here.

He wasn't wearing his signature scarlet armor.

In the previous battle, the Crimson Slayer was shattered due to oversaturation attacks and is currently in a slow repair phase.

This resulted in Xiao Yang appearing on stage without armor.

I didn't let this reason deter me from this meeting; it just felt a little strange.

Wearing armor and not wearing armor definitely feel like two different things.

Since these young men wanted to see him, Xiao Yang wasn't going to disappoint them.

No further words were spoken.

He slowly raised his hand.

In those pairs of fervent eyes.

Xiao Yang, who was invited as a special guest to the rally, spoke first.

"victory!"

At that moment, the suppressed excitement and fervor, and the originally quiet scene, erupted like a volcano.

One by one, the young figures, their faces flushed with excitement, joined Xiao Yang on the high platform in shouting loudly.

"victory!"

And so, the rally came to an end.

Given sufficient time, the newly assembled Salvation Army will conduct a period of combat training in the wilderness before finally advancing to the location where the god of war resides.

Xiao Yang had no idea whether they would regret their decision today.

Throughout the entire process, City of Hope never invoked the compulsory conscription law.

In other words, joining the Salvation Army was their own choice.

Perhaps they will regret participating in this war later.

If I can come back alive.

It's also possible that you won't regret it at all.

In their old age, they proudly preach to their children.

"That day, I met that great hero!"
