Chapter 428 Faith, Welcome to the Great Wall at Sea!
Fang Qingyu looked at Chu Kuanglan's silly antics.

A slight smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of her mouth, but she ignored him.

His gaze involuntarily swept over the crowd.

It was thrown into the unjust city below.

Those 200,000 Dawn Warriors.

At that moment, the soldiers were still looking up at him.
The deafening cheers gradually subsided.

But the burning passion in those eyes never faded.

A feeling that was unprecedented and mysterious.

It was rising up in wisps from the densely packed figures below.

Fang Qingyu still encountered this feeling.

It is invisible, but its existence can be felt.

faith.

The word flashed through Fang Qingyu's mind in an instant, carrying a hint of understanding, but also a hint of confusion.

He could clearly sense the presence of these thoughts.

Like tiny fireflies, they gathered into a river, flowing into his body, or rather, merging into his newly born Glazed Star Dao Foundation.

He could feel the surging emotions of every soldier below.

Excitement, fervent adoration, tension for the upcoming battle, and a thirst for victory.

Even an almost blind trust in him.
These emotions unfolded before his eyes like a scroll painting.

It made Fang Qingyu feel as if he had established a connection, a resonance, and an extension of perception with these 200,000 people.

"Is this the power of faith?"

Fang Qingyu murmured to himself, trying to understand this power.

It has not yet brought about a direct surge in power.

But it gave him an unprecedented sense of control over the entire legion's situation.

It was as if he himself was the center of this ocean of will.

Just then, a cool, soft hand...

She gently pinched the hem of his clothes.

Fang Qingyu's thoughts were interrupted. He turned his head and met Jiang Wei's ruby ​​eyes, which held concern and a hint of mischievous smile. She smiled slightly and said softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "What are you daydreaming about? Two hundred thousand people are watching you with bated breath. If you don't speak, they'll probably lose their voices."

The cool voice carried a hint of warmth.

This pulled Fang Qingyu back to reality from that mysterious state of perception.

His gaze swept over the faces below, flushed with excitement, and the eyes burning with anticipation and fighting spirit.

Fang Qingyu took a deep breath, suppressing the strange feeling in his heart.

Take a step forward and stand in the void.

There were no lengthy, impassioned speeches, and no complex mobilizations.

Fang Qingyu simply raised his right hand and made a pressing motion.

As if by magic, the thunderous shouts below instantly subsided.

Two hundred thousand eyes were fixed on him, holding their breath in anticipation.

Fang Qingyu's voice pierced through the sea breeze, echoing in the ears of every soldier:

"This battle."

He paused slightly and scanned the entire room.

"Must win!"

The last two words were like two stones thrown into a calm lake.

It instantly ignited the dormant volcano.

"Must win!!"

"Must win!!!"

"Victory is certain!!!!"

After a brief silence.

It was a more synchronized roar than before.

Everyone raised their right hand high and clenched it into a fist.

"We must win! We must win! We must win!"

The roar was deafening, making the entire city of injustice seem to buzz.

This sudden surge of sound.

Naturally, this also attracted the attention of the troops stationed at the nearby Great Wall at sea.

On the Great Wall's mountain-like battlements, countless soldiers in different colored combat uniforms, who were patrolling or on duty, all stopped in their tracks.

He turned his head in astonishment to look in the direction of the Dawn Legion.

"I'm super!"

A young soldier, hearing the roar, couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"The morale of Dawn City is just too high! Even from this distance, I can feel the ground shaking!"

Beside him, a veteran with a few light scars on his face and a steady demeanor crossed his arms, chuckled, and said with a hint of nonchalance in his eyes, "What's so strange about this?"

"Kid, haven't you seen that movie before? The tens of thousands of elite troops of Dawn City withstood the repeated attacks of a million-strong army of ghosts on the ice plains. Their combat power was top-notch in the entire Federation frontline legion."

He paused, his eyes revealing a hint of admiration and longing: "Moreover, and most importantly, they have never lost a single battle, big or small, since their founding. They are a truly invincible army! How could the morale of such a force not be high?"

The surrounding soldiers listened to the veteran's explanation.

They all showed expressions of sudden realization.

They had seen most of the movies, but they hadn't thought about it that far ahead.

“So that’s how it is”

A soldier muttered to himself, then suddenly a look of joy appeared on his face, and he patted his comrade on the shoulder.

"The City of Dawn is stationed right next to our A7 war zone! Holy crap! Aren't we going to benefit from this? If we can go on missions with them, the military merits will be like free money!"

These words immediately resonated with many people around them.

Their eyes lit up.

Upon hearing this, the veteran's smile deepened, revealing a shrewdness born of experience. He rubbed his hands together and said, "Logically speaking, hey, that's really true. Following a strong army means a higher safety factor and more opportunities to earn merit."

However, he suddenly changed the subject.

The smile on his face vanished instantly.

His expression suddenly turned serious as he glanced at his young comrades around him: "But!"

"On the battlefield, whether you can survive and earn military merit ultimately depends on your own abilities! When fate strikes, no one can take care of you. Relying on others is unreliable; only having strong fists, good skills, and quick reflexes can save your life and earn merit."

"Remember this, don't just think about taking advantage of others, hone your skills first!"

The veteran's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over him, instantly calming the somewhat agitated atmosphere.

The soldiers around them, including the one who had been excited just moments before, all abandoned any hope of getting away with it.

They all nodded.

"Yes! Old squad leader!"

"Yes, relying on yourself is worse than relying on anyone else!"

The veteran nodded in satisfaction and said no more.

Their gaze returned to the magnificent city in the distance, floating like a giant lotus beside the Great Wall on the sea.

A hint of expectation lingered deep in his eyes.

……

the other side.

at this time.

Several figures flew over from the direction of the Great Wall at sea at an extremely fast speed.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of Fang Qingyu and the others.

The leader was a tall and robust man, dressed in a crisp, dark blue federal general's uniform, the stars on his epaulets gleaming in the sunlight over the sea and sky.

He exuded a majestic aura, as deep as a still pool and as imposing as a mountain.

He was clearly a powerful expert at the fifth-tier Martial God level.

It was General Yu Bo, one of the bigwigs in the military.

Fang Qingyu had seen him via video during a meeting before. Behind him were two equally composed aides, dressed in the uniforms of colonels.

General Yu Bo's gaze immediately fell on Fang Qingyu.

When his senses swept over Fang Qingyu.

A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

That's already fifth rank!?

However, Yu Bo reacted quickly.

That fleeting look of surprise vanished in an instant, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

He stepped forward and gave Fang Qingyu a standard military salute:

"Welcome, General Fang! I'm very pleased that your Dawn City was able to arrive at the Great Wall at Sea A7 war zone within the agreed time!"

General?!
This form of address made Fang Qingyu pause slightly.

She subconsciously reached out and shook hands with Yu Bo.

Wasn't he a major? How did he jump several ranks to become a general?
Yu Bo seemed to see Fang Qingyu's doubts, and with a smile, he shook hands and explained, "General Fang, there's no need to be confused. Just recently, General Hong Qitian personally signed and announced the military order, promoting you to the rank of Federation General, with full authority over the defense of the Dawn Legion and the A7 war zone. However, since it's just before the big battle, everything is kept simple. The formal conferment ceremony will be held for you in a grand manner after the victory."

It turned out to be the case.

Fang Qingyu understood; Old Man Hong was quick to act.

He nodded and calmly replied, "Thank you for informing me, General Yu Bo, and thank you for the military's trust."

Fang Qingyu addressed General Yu Bo naturally and fluently, and his attitude was calm and polite.

Yu Bo was slightly taken aback, but then his smile widened.

He muttered to himself: "It seems rumors can't be entirely trusted. Everyone says this Fang Shen is aloof and unapproachable, but seeing him today, he's clearly composed, neither arrogant nor servile. Those rumors are probably just fabrications made up out of jealousy."

He felt a surge of goodwill and let go of her hand.

He turned to the side, pointing to the magnificent City of Injustice beside him and the fully equipped legion below, and said, "It's my duty, General Fang, you're too kind."

"According to the joint defense regulations of the Great Wall at Sea, your main force is usually stationed in the mobile fortress of injustice as a mobile force and a strong support point."

"But in order to ensure a rapid response and seamless transition during wartime, your soldiers also need to quickly familiarize themselves with the internal structure of the Great Wall at Sea, the passageways, and the rapid entry and evacuation routes in case of emergency."

He looked at Fang Qingyu, his tone inquiring: "I wonder if it would be convenient for General Fang to temporarily hand over the on-site command of your corps to me? I will personally lead the team to guide your troops to familiarize themselves with the internal environment of the Great Wall."

Yu Bo was very polite.

They did not put on airs at all because of their similar rank or seniority.

Fang Qingyu naturally understood that this was a necessary procedure, and immediately nodded in agreement: "Of course, it is the proper thing to do."

Then he looked at Xiao Jiu beside him.

"Pass down the order: all combat personnel shall obey the general's commands."

"Yes," Xiao Jiu replied.

Fang Qingyu then said to Bo, "Let's go and get familiar with it together. Thank you for your trouble, General."

Yu Bo was taken aback again upon hearing this.

But he quickly came to his senses.

His smile widened: "You're too kind, General Fang, please."

……

Watching Fang Qingyu and General Yu Bo fly away side by side.

Wei Banmeng, Chu Kuanglan, Qi Hao, Lin Kang, and others did not follow immediately.

Qi Hao's mouth was agape wide enough to fit an egg.

His eyes almost popped out of his head.

He rubbed his eyes violently, then looked at Chu Kuanglan beside him, pointing in the direction Fang Qingyu had disappeared and said incredulously, "I didn't see wrong, did I? Was that Qingzi shaking hands with someone and speaking so politely?!"

Chu Kuanglan also looked like he had seen a ghost.

His voice was equally filled with disbelief.

He turned to look at Jiang Wei, who was smiling beside him, and couldn't help but lean closer, lowering his voice with confusion and gossip in his tone: "Sister Jiang, tell me honestly, has Qingzi been through something lately? Or has something gone wrong with his cultivation? Or is he just a little crazy? I mean, I feel like his personality has changed a bit too much?"

These words immediately resonated with the people around them.

Even the usually aloof Wei Banmeng cast an inquiring glance at him.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wei couldn't help but burst out laughing, her ruby-like eyes curving into crescent moons.

Seeing the surprised and uncertain looks on everyone's faces, he said softly, "Exciting? Not at all. Why would you think that? Isn't this a good thing?"

She paused, her gaze softening as she looked in the direction Fang Qingyu had left, her voice tinged with tenderness.

"Don't you guys think that Aoko is more down-to-earth now?"

After saying that, she ignored the group of people who were stunned by Fang Qingyu's sudden change in style. With her skirt fluttering slightly and her bare feet lightly touching the ground, she transformed into a streak of pure white light and flew towards the connection point.

Wei Banmeng, Chu Kuanglan, and the others were left standing there, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder?"

Lu Jiuyuan rubbed his forehead, looked in the direction where Jiang Wei had disappeared, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

This filter is way too thick!
Wasn't Fang Qingyu, who used to be decisive, cold-blooded, and unwilling to say a word to strangers, alive and well enough in Jiang Wei's eyes?

Lin Kang, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

“I think Miss Jiang is right.”

Everyone's attention was instantly focused on him.

Lin Kang's face remained expressionless as he looked intently at everyone and continued, "Qing Ziqiang was strong before, but there was always something between him and me, a coldness, like a drawn sword—sharp, but lacking warmth. Now..."

He tried hard to think of the right words.

"Now, I shake hands with people, take the initiative to understand the environment, and consider everyone's needs. This makes me feel closer to people and more like a human being."

The words fell.

Wei Banmeng, Lao Qin, Qi Hao, and others have followed Fang Qingyu all the way.

The core members have gone through countless life-or-death trials.

Looking back and comparing them now, I have to admit it.

What Lin Kang was talking about was what they subconsciously felt.

In the past, Fang Qingyu was powerful and reliable, like a solitary iceberg, a pillar they looked up to and relied on.

Fang Qingyu remains incredibly powerful and unfathomable.

But it seems that a corner of that iceberg has quietly melted away.

They began to actively integrate into this vibrant, everyday world.

This change, after their initial shock, brought them a deep sense of peace that was hard to describe.

"Hey"

Chu Kuanglan was the first to grin.

"I didn't expect that you, Captain Lin, understand Qingzi better."

"Indeed." Qi Hao also came to his senses. "Like this... hmm, it doesn't seem so bad?"

Wei Banmeng and Su Wanqing exchanged a glance and saw the smile in each other's eyes.

"Let's go." A faint smile appeared on Wei Banmeng's usually aloof face.

"Don't keep the more human-like general waiting too long."

Upon hearing this, everyone smiled knowingly.

……

The point where the City of Injustice connects with the Great Wall at Sea.

Not at sea, but deep beneath the ocean floor.

Under the guidance of Xiao Jiu and Da Lei.

Fang Qingyu, Yu Bo, Jiang Wei, and Wei Banmeng and others who arrived later.

Pass through a wide, transparent corridor inside the City of Injustice.

Outside the corridor lies the deep blue sea.

At the end of the corridor was a metal gate.

Da Lei verified his permissions on the side of the door.

As the gates slowly and silently slid open to both sides.

At this moment, Yu Bo stepped to the front, turned around, and loudly proclaimed to the crowd:
"Welcome, everyone, to the Great Wall at Sea!"
