Gao Wu: My freshman internship was a battle on the front lines.

"Yeah! Why is Ye Feng treating us like this? We're the guardians of Great Xia City, after all!"

"We respect you as a senior figure! But is what Ye Feng did something a human being would do?"

"It's true that humanity needs unity, but it can't be this kind of unity where one person dominates the whole group!"

"So what if you're a god? Does being a god mean you can kill whoever you want?"

Cao Keyuan frowned, then raised his finger.

He wanted to say that justice resides in the hearts of the people.

But this Jiangcheng resident spent most of his life guarding the border and fighting battles.

He knew very well what was wrong with certain people.

The word "fairness" is nothing more than a fig leaf that can be torn off at will.

A sharp sword aura shot out from his fingertip.

It was just a casual strike from a level 10 god, yet it pierced through Zhao Pojun's chest without any resistance.

The burly man with a face full of scars didn't even have time to switch his expression from shouting to fear before he stiffly leaned backward.

His heart was pulverized by the sword energy.

The protective true energy of a half-step invincible realm is as thin as paper in front of a god-level being.

A collective gasp filled the air.

The martial gods who had just been shouting along with Zhao Pojun instantly fell silent, their faces as white as corpses.

Several quick-thinking individuals immediately buckled at the knees and tried to kneel down, but were pushed around by the people around them and had nowhere to kneel, so they could only shrink their necks and back away.

But there are still rebellious individuals in the crowd who are not afraid of death.

A burly martial god, who had been eagerly anticipating his fight, suddenly jumped out, pointed at Cao Keyuan's nose, and began to hurl insults.

"What's so great about being a god! They just ate the origin of a god's path! Kill them, and I'll be a god! We'll kill them and eat their flesh!"

Before he could finish speaking...

The Grand Avenue, suspended above the lobby, trembled slightly.

Then all the martial gods in the entire hall simultaneously felt their bodies being drained of energy.

It's not that power is suppressed, nor that qi and blood are sealed.

Rather, their source of power was completely cut off.

Hundreds of martial gods collapsed to the ground in unison.

Several people with shallow cultivation even coughed up blood on the spot.

The voice of the Great Xia Avenue resounded simultaneously in everyone's mind.

The voice was neither cold nor warm, yet it was more despairing than any threat.

"God-level beings are indeed nothing special. But in front of gods, you don't even have the right to choose how you die."

"And I am the Great Xia Dao, and also a divine Dao. Your cultivation levels were all bestowed upon you by me. Naturally, I can take them back at any time."

A silence, heavier than death itself, fell over the lobby.

They never expected that the Great Dao, which usually granted them blessings, would be so powerful.

They could even reclaim their cultivation levels on their own.

Those martial gods who had experienced the catastrophe of Great Xia City were even more terrified.

They experienced the helplessness of losing their cultivation.

They regret it terribly now.

If they had known earlier that Daxia Avenue had already been subdued by Ye Feng, they would have surrendered long ago.

Cao Keyuan withdrew his finger without even glancing at the corpse on the ground.

He strode into the collapsed crowd and, with one hand, dragged out the few martial gods who had been shouting the loudest earlier, one by one.

Some of the martial gods who were singled out were still struggling to try to activate their sealed origins.

But after a brief attempt, they gave up resistance completely, their faces pale as they awaited the impending judgment.

"No! We were wrong!"

"Please, please don't kill me! I'm willing to submit to Dragon City!"

Cao Zhenshou remained unmoved.

His movements were clean and efficient.

Nine sword energies pierced the air, and nine corpses fell to the ground.

There is no further explanation.

The ringleader of the upheaval deserves no last words.

The remaining martial gods cowered and knelt on the ground, their clothes soaked with cold sweat, not daring to utter a sound.

Cao Zhenshou spoke up.

"Is there anyone still dissatisfied?"

No one dared to utter a sound.

"Reorganize the troops immediately."

"We're setting off tomorrow! Destination: Dragon City!"

Two million soldiers, hundreds of thousands of experts of various ranks, more than four hundred martial gods, and the people in the city.

The next morning, they set off for Longcheng in a grand procession.

The surrounding alien races saw an opportunity to take advantage, but upon discovering the presence of a god-level combatant...

They had no choice but to retreat obediently.

The dozen or so towns surrounding Daxia City were completely deserted.

And on the city tower of Longcheng.

Ye Feng gazed at the vast crowd approaching from afar on the horizon.

He stretched out his palms.

"With this influx of people, Dragon City will no longer lack soldiers!"

After a month of massive construction, Longcheng has been completely transformed.

From the air, the entire Dragon City resembles a giant steel roc spreading its wings, lying quietly on this land beyond the realm.

The innermost layer is the core inner city, which was transformed from the original site of Longcheng.

The high-rise buildings form the city's command center and core industrial area.

The newly built outer city extends more than 100 li outwards.

A super urban area of ​​500 square kilometers, expanded from the original thousand-year-old city wall of Daxia City.

Twenty million people and millions of soldiers settled here.

Two brand-new, massive city wall defenses encircle the entire city like two giant steel dragons.

Each city wall was tens of feet high, and its interior was inlaid with dense defensive array patterns.

There is a heavy city defense turret every ten meters.

Beyond the two city walls lies a true death zone.

Seven lines of puppet defenses stretched out in layers across the open fields outside the city.

From the outermost first line to the seventh line at the foot of the city wall.

Each line of defense is equipped with automatic tracking turrets and automatic firing positions.

Three-by-three positions consisting of 1130 close-in weapon systems and heavy bunkers are everywhere.

Countless high-explosive landmines and trigger traps are scattered outside the defensive line.

The soil on the ground had been turned over and compacted countless times, and every inch of land concealed deadly danger.

This is the complete result of Longcheng's 30-day production plan.

In the council hall of the city lord's mansion, Zhao Gongming and others stood in front of the three-dimensional battle map.

Grand Secretary Zhao is reporting combat readiness data to Ye Feng.

"Lord of the city, the five million troops of Dragon City have basically completed their training and are ready to be deployed into battle at any time."

When Zhao Gongming mentioned this number, his voice unconsciously carried a hint of confidence.

Five million!

This is an unprecedented scale of human military force in the outer regions. Even at its peak, the Great Xia City had a standing army of just over three million.

In just one month, Longcheng increased its military strength to five million.

While a large portion of them are raw recruits, once they fight a few tough battles, they can become seasoned veterans capable of standing on their own.

"Regarding the army's combat strength, according to the final statistics," Zhao Gongming said, raising his voice slightly.

"Thirty-three god-level experts. All of them are from Dragon City, without exception."

"The three who broke through first, including Cao Zhenshou, have stabilized at the mid-stage of the tenth-order god level, and the other thirty newly promoted gods have also completed the consolidation of their realms."

He paused here, glancing involuntarily at Ye Feng, and sighed inwardly.

For any other force, being able to summon thirty-three god-level powerhouses from scratch in thirty days would be nothing short of a dream.

But Ye Feng wasn't excited at all; that's the demeanor of a true leader!
