Zongman: A Dimensional Journey Starting from Fulilian

"You're so smart, can't you guess it?" Shi Chen asked back with a smile.

“Could it be... a white whale?” Crusch was so excited that he almost sat up.

"Yes, I have already locked onto its location. I can defeat it anytime I want."

"Really?!"

"Believe it or not, it's up to you."

"I believe you! I will gather the troops right away..."

"No need to bother."

"?"

Chapter 535: Conquering the White Whale

"Just a few of us can go." Shi Chen said nonchalantly.

"How many of us?"

"It's just a white whale. If it wasn't for the old man's revenge, I would have solved it easily."

“Shichen you…” Crusch looked at him in disbelief.

She didn't think Shi Chen was bragging, but she was still surprised by how lightly he said it.

Did she still underestimate his abilities?

"I don't want to be so troublesome. Let's solve it earlier and leave it at night. Don't waste time."

If we go today, we can all go back to our homes in the afternoon, and Rem can have a good sleep at night.

"No...Shichen, I hope you can let me gather the troops and notify the people." Crusch suddenly became serious.

"You want to..." Shi Chen understood what she meant.

“Yes.” Crusch nodded.

"An achievement like defeating the white whale deserves to be known to everyone."

"For your fame?" Shi Chen raised his eyebrows.

“Although I have such an idea, this is not my real idea.” Crusch smiled slightly.

"How to say?"

"Notifying the public will not only let them know about the team that will defeat the White Whale, but also let them know that Emilia is involved. Don't you want to increase Emilia's fame?"

"I almost forgot about this...but you're so kind?"

"Of course not, I'm doing this just for you." Crusch stared at Shichen with burning eyes.

"for me?"

"Since you are supporting Emilia, I will help her become more famous."

“Isn’t it just this?”

"Yes, I want the people to know you, your abilities, and your strength."

This crusade against the White Whale will be a famous battle of the time. People will be able to recognize him, and she can legitimately tell others about her beloved.

"That's a good plan...I agree." Shi Chen said with a smile.

Just as Crusch said, Emilia needs merit now, and as her chief knight, he also needs merit.

I thought it was a bit simpler before.

As for what Crusch was planning, he could see it, but he didn't need to care.

An excellent hunter often appears as prey.

“That’s good.” Crusch breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then you should gather your men quickly. Can you solve it within three days?"

“Two days will be enough.” Crusch replied confidently.

"Okay, then we'll set off on the third day." After Shi Chen said this, he disappeared on the spot.

Crusch looked calmly at the empty space, lost in thought.

On the third day, when Shichen brought Emilia and the others to the Kurushi mansion, everyone was already gathered there.

They were a group of people all dressed in combat gear, with serious faces. The equipment they were wearing had been used and practiced for many years, and each of them showed rich combat experience.

It's just that they look a little bit older.

To fight against the White Whale, we naturally have to rely on elites. It is normal that there are few people, but something is wrong when they are old.

"The time, their age..." Emilia couldn't help but ask.

It was normal for Emilia to ask, as there were ten people in the team, and everyone looked to be at least fifty years old.

"Trust them." Shi Chen whispered to Emilia.

"I see."

"Shichen, you are here." Crusch, dressed in military uniform, came over.

"Lord Crusch, who are they?" A man from the team walked over.

"Yes, that's him." Crusch just nodded.

"Really? Thank you!" The middle-aged man with gray hair and beard bowed his head and thanked.

"Come on, I can guarantee that you won't die. As for the extent of your revenge, it's up to you." Shi Chen replied.

"Thank you... Thanks to you, our long-cherished wish is finally going to come true. I couldn't be happier than this."

The old man cried for joy and then returned to the team.

“So he’s someone who has a connection with the white whale.” Emilia suddenly realized.

This group of old men were all members of the crusade team in the past. Their flames of revenge and their ignited morale were in no way inferior to those of the current Knights of the Kingdom.

So does martial arts.

Of course, there are more than just these people. These are just the ones summoned by Wilhelm, and they are the ones who have the same obsession and hatred towards the white whale as him.

Anastasia was there too.

When Crusch announced the news of conquering the White Whale to the public, the merchant Anastasia came upon hearing the news.

With her business acumen, it was impossible for her to miss such an opportunity, not to mention that she knew the time was right.

This means there is absolutely no danger to life.

But I didn’t dare to do anything recklessly.

But it is enough. As one of the candidates for king, it is enough to be able to participate in this battle to conquer the White Whale.

Now that everyone was present, it was natural for Crusch to make the opening remarks.

"Four hundred years!"

Crusch stood majestically in front of the assembled soldiers, and his solemn voice reached everyone's ears.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on Crusch, who was standing straight with his chest puffed out.

Crusch propped himself up on the ground with the sword engraved with the Karlsten family crest - a lion with bared fangs, and looked around at everyone's face with a serious expression.

"Four hundred years have passed since the greatest disaster in world history, the Witch of Envy, threatened the world. The white whale created by the witch has been using the world as its hunting ground and humans as its prey, bullying the weak and acting arrogantly. Four hundred years have passed like this.

"..." All the soldiers listened with serious expressions.

Crusch continued: "The number of lives taken by the white whale is countless, and the exact number of victims is unknown, as is the vicious nature of the mist... Over the course of four hundred years, the number of tombstones with inscriptions and those without inscriptions has continued to increase."

"Well--"

The sound of veterans gnashing their teeth could be heard.

"But! Those days of powerlessness will end today."

"!" The soldiers were in high spirits.

"We will put an end to it - defeat the White Whale, put an end to many sorrows... put an end to the pathetic monsters that have lost their masters but still obey orders that have not yet ended."

"So cool..."

Looking at the majestic Crusch and the warriors who were inspired and clenched their fists, Emilia couldn't help but sigh.

This was something she couldn't do now.

It's not because she's half-elf, it's simply because she can't do it.

Therefore, only Crusch is suitable to make such a declaration.

"It's okay, Crusch is much cuter." Shichen patted Emilia's shoulder and comforted her.

"Hate it~ What's the use of being cute..." Emilia scolded.

"Of course being cute is useful. Am I not completely fascinated by you?"

"Well......"

"Shichen, Shichen, am I cute?" Rem interrupted unyieldingly.

"Of course it's cute~" Shichen rubbed Rem's little head.

"Hehe~"

"Everyone! Let's go! The location is Rufus Street, the Flugel Tree!" At this time, Crusch waved his hand and announced.

"oh--!"

The soldiers' fighting spirit burst out, and everyone was affected and their hearts were surging.

The time has been lit.

Crusch also drew out his sword, raised it high above his head and pointed it at the sky: "Today, we will use our hands to destroy the White Whale!"

Thus, the White Whale subjugation mission began, led by Duke Crusch Karsten.

This was the first large-scale battle since the great expedition fourteen years ago.
