Chapter 66: The Base

  In the eastern part of the Ga Mountain range, a group of men with tattered clothes gathered together in a small forest on a mountain slope. Each man held a long sword issued by the military, and their bodies were covered in bloodstains.

  "Brother Tiger, Little Lin is almost done for." A man rushed hastily to a one-armed man and exclaimed urgently.

  Zheng Xiaohu's face changed upon hearing his subordinate's words, and a look of anxiety appeared on his face as he said, "Let's go take a look."

  Zheng Xiaohu grasped the arm of a pale and frightened young man, his eyes reddening as he shouted: "Xiao Linzi, hold on, we'll be out of this forest soon. Once we reach Shanhai City, you'll be saved, just hold on!"

  "Kobayashi, hold on, we can get out of this haunted place tomorrow." Hanye comforted the young man, grasping his other hand.

  "Captain, it's no use, I've never regretted anything. If there's a chance, please take my ashes back to Hu Men, that's where our roots are." The young man said intermittently, his face filled with resentment, his eyes wide open as if blaming the heavens for being unfair.

  "Little Linzi, Little Linzi......" Zheng Xiaohu and others shouted in unison.

  Xing Zixue let out a soft sigh, shook his head and stood up, revealing a painful expression. Of the forty-seven brothers who had rushed out of Hu Men, fifteen had already sacrificed their lives at the hands of the demon beasts along the way. Including Xiao Lizi, sixteen brothers now lay sleeping in the earth.

  Zheng Xiaohu gently helped Xiao Linzi close his eyes, stood up and roared at the sky: "Damn it, Wu Tian, you dog, next time don't fall into my hands, otherwise I will definitely tear you to pieces."

  ——————————————————————————————————

  In the southern direction of the Ga Mountain Range, a team of over ten people rode horses and continued on their journey. The leader was none other than Feng Tianming, the person in charge of the casino. As for the person behind him, it goes without saying that it was Leng Xiao Yao.

  Leng Xiangyao originally thought that the Gaiya Mountain Range was just a mountain range, but when he personally entered the mountain range, he realized that he had been wrong. The Gaiya Mountain Range, although named as such, was not simply a mountain range. Its territory was no smaller than that of the four major human nations. No wonder the four major nations had offered huge incentives to try to recruit the four major legions, only to be ridiculed and rejected by them. If it were his own words, he would also not want to submit to others.

  "Whoa!!!" The groom stopped the horse and said with a hint of reverence, "Young master, we can only go this far on horseback. We'll have to proceed on foot from here."

  "Alright." Leng Xiao Yao nodded and immediately dismounted his horse.

  "Go!" Feng Tianming and others tied their horses to the trees, and led the group of more than a dozen people including Leng Xiao to walk into the forest.

  An hour later, Feng Tianming brought Cold Xiao and others over a mountain peak, and then stopped in the middle of another towering mountain peak.

  "Who's there? Report your name!" A loud shout rang out.

  "Who is on duty today in the army? I am Commander Ming of the Third Legion."

  "Isn't the captain of the Third Battalion on duty in Shanhai City? What's going on?" A low murmur came from the stone wall, followed by another voice: "Wang Ming, that's right. It's Captain Feng. Open the door."

  A loud rumbling and screeching sound began, and on the half-mountain stone wall where Leng Xiang and others were standing, a huge boulder slowly rose up, revealing a long tunnel.

  "Master, please follow me." Feng Tianming led Cold Skye and over a dozen others into the tunnel. After ten or so minutes, Cold Skye suddenly felt a bright light in front of him, and before his eyes appeared an enormous canyon, with birds singing and flowers blooming all around. In the center was an enormous training ground, where tens of thousands of soldiers were currently training.

  Looking at the dull expression of his young master, he felt a sense of pride in his heart. The base of the Tianjun Army was the best among the four major armies in the Gaoshan Mountains. Every soldier of the Tianjun Army treated their residence as their own home. When he first arrived, this valley was only slightly opened up, but now it had been continuously expanded by them over the years to become what it is today.

  "Master, please follow me, I'll take you to meet General Huang."

  "Good."

  Feng Tian Ming stopped in front of a stone house in the middle of the canyon with Leng Xiao and others, because more than ten men were standing in front of this stone house. Each man had a strong and fierce aura on his body, especially the leader in the middle, who had an air of majesty around him.

  Leng Xiao Yao caught sight of the man in the center and thought to himself: "A master, this man must be the leader here. Huang Tao."

  Tianming stepped forward and saluted the leading man: "Tianming has seen the general."

  "Alright, thank you for your hard work." Huang Tao nodded and then swept his gaze over the group of people with Cold Skye before focusing back on him. He spoke seriously to Cold Skye, "Please show me the Cold Family Order."

  Leng Xiao Yao nodded slightly and then pulled out that metal card with no special properties from his bosom.

  Huang Tao glanced at Leng Xiao Yao and then quickly knelt down on one knee, saying: "Huang Tao has seen the young master."

  Huang Tao knelt down, and the ten men following behind him also knelt down shoulder to shoulder: "We have seen the young master."

  Leng Xiao rushed forward, stretched out his hands to help up Huang Tao and said: "General Huang, please get up. I dare not accept such a great courtesy from General Huang. Everyone, please get up."

  "Thank you, young master." Huang Tao stood up and made a gesture of invitation: "Young master, please come in to discuss business."

  "What? Liu family actually dared to lay hands on the master of the house?" Huang Tao looked at Shang Leng Xiao with a surprised expression.

  "No," said Leng Xiao Yao with a faint shake of his head. "For the time being, they don't dare to make a move, but it's hard to say what will happen in the future."

  Huang Tao heard his young master say this, and after a moment of contemplation, he raised his head and said: "What instructions does the master have?"

  "Huang Dage has thought too much, this time I came to Xiangyang is to deal with some private matters, and also want to stay here for a year or so, to broaden my horizons."

  "Oh! Young master, what private matter do you have? Is there something that requires my attention, please give me an order."

  Huang Tao's words had just fallen when Feng Tianming, who was beside him, immediately picked up the conversation and said: "General, it's like this..."

  "What? The Māo Hǔ Tuán is gone?" Huang Tao's face was the same as Feng Tianming's when he first found out, and after being shocked for a moment, his face tightened up, with a worried expression asking Leng Xiao: "Young Master, what about Shi Hu and Yan Menggui of the Māo Hǔ Tuán now?"

  "Uh." Leng Xiao Yao heard Huang Tao's question and was taken aback for a moment, then asked with a hint of curiosity: "Brother Huang, do you know General Shi and Captain Yan?"

  Huang Tao's face showed a hint of emotion, and before he could respond, Feng Tianming jumped in to say: "Young Master, you probably don't know yet! Shi Hu that kid was originally just a small team leader under the General's command."

  "Oh!" Leng Xiangyao's eyes lit up with a smile: "So Brother Huang is also from the Ferocious Tiger Squad!"

  "Few masters, subordinates are not only from the fierce tiger team, but also from the Hu Men. And here, most of the brothers are from the Fierce Tiger Team." Huang Tao sighed.

  "Report!" Suddenly, a soldier rushed into the stone house and knelt down on one knee in front of Huang Tao, saying: "General, the enemy troops have started to mobilize."

  Huang Tao heard the news from the scout and his face changed slightly: "Got it, continue to explore."

  "Yes, General." The scout responded with a single word and swiftly ran out of the stone house.

  Leng Xiao has just captured the moment when Huang Tao's expression changed. As for the Law Enforcement Team, he also understands a lot along the way. Among the four major legions in the Gaoshan Mountains, the Law Enforcement Team is the first legion, with a large army of 800,000 people. It seems that these four major legions are not as harmonious as the outside world has heard.

  "Damn it! Does this law enforcement team really think we're afraid of them? General, don't hold back anymore, declare war!" a battalion commander said with a furious expression.

  "Feng Tianming also spoke up at this moment: 'That's right, General. Although the Law Enforcement Army has an army of 800,000, only about 500,000 can actually fight, which is not enough for us to slaughter. Please give the order, my third division is willing to be the vanguard.'"

  "Then, General, let's declare war! We are not afraid of war." The rest of the battalion commanders also asked for orders.

  "Shut up." Huang Tao shouted, his eyes scanning his ten subordinates before smiling at Leng Xiao Yao: "My subordinates are being unreasonable, making our young master laugh."

  Leng Xiao Yao smiled and waved his hand: "Huang Da Ge, it seems that I've come at the wrong time. But what's the reason for this law enforcement team?"

  "The young master, it's like this. One of the team leaders from the Law Enforcement Team was drunk in Shanhai City and tried to rape a poor girl. Coincidentally, Tianming happened to pass by and didn't like what he saw, so he taught him a lesson. But unexpectedly, that team leader returned to the Law Enforcement Team and turned things upside down. The team leader is very protective of his own people and arrogant, so they sent someone over to demand that I hand over the culprit for them to deal with. Of course, I refused, so it's been dragging on like this. Now, I'm afraid that Yang Jie, that scoundrel, can't hold back anymore and wants to declare war!"

  Feng Tianming heard these words from his own mouth and a hint of shame appeared on his face, lowering his head.

  Leng Xiao Yao listened to Huang Tao's words and finally understood the whole story. A smile appeared on his face as he said, "In that case, why didn't you fight back, Big Brother Huang?"

  Huang Tao heard his young master's words and his eyes lit up: "Young Master, what do you mean?"

  "If we're going to fight, then let's fight! Since the Tianlong Kingdom's Měng Hǔ Tuán is gone, we can't let this banner fall. " Lěng Xiāo Yō said calmly, but his heart was filled with joy. He had been worried about where to absorb so many souls' power, and he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived at the Gé ā mountain range, he would encounter such a good opportunity. On one hand, he could train his troops, on the other hand, he could cultivate his powers, killing two birds with one stone, why not fight?

  Huang Tao heard the last sentence of Leng Xiao Yao's "Mighty Tiger Squad" spirit, and his face showed a wave of excitement. He quickly stood up, saluted with one hand on his chest, and said: "Subordinate received the order."
