Chapter 543: Chapter 254: Two Million War Merit, Making a Fortune (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_2
The gap between the strong ones of the Dark Realm and us is too large; I fear the other units of the Vanguard Army will not fare well either!
At this moment, Ye Hong seemed to have lost interest, and said lightly, "Knowing my name, you can die without regret."
With that, he suddenly clenched his large hand.
"Bang, bang, bang—"
The commander of the 201st Division was crushed on the spot, with hot blood spurting out, splattering over the soldiers of the 201st Division.
The entire 201st Division was shocked at this sight, their morale nearly collapsing.
"Kill them all."
Ye Hong pointed his finger, like a god of death issuing orders, sentencing the 201st Division to death.
A moment later.
Ye Hong stood atop the Earth Star Ten Thousand People Division, gazing into the distance, his expression indifferent: "Advance eastward, I am in a good mood today. If I don’t slaughter these ants from Blue Star, I’ll use you to hoist the flag."
"...Yes!"
The Earth Star Ten Thousand People Division all trembled, each person harboring a trace of fear in their eyes.
Because they knew, this master wasn’t joking; he was genuinely murderous!
Next, unless there was a sufficient killing, it wouldn’t stop!
They could already foresee that the upcoming battlefield would be drenched in the blood of Blue Star Martial Artists...
...
At this moment, Xu Zhou was unaware that a destructive Earth Star Division was heading towards them.
Because at this very moment, Xu Zhou was also wreaking havoc.
"Boom!"
The long blade moved forward, unstoppable!
Xu Zhou commanded a battle formation of fifteen thousand, transforming into the harvester of the battlefield, continuously taking out the Earth Star Army in this vast field.
Just as a moment ago, he dealt with an eight-thousand-strong Earth Star Battle Array.
Indeed, after annihilating the previous seven-thousand-strong battle array, it wasn’t long before Xu Zhou encountered an eight-thousand-strong Earth Star Army.
And in the end, without losing a single soldier, he annihilated them all.
"Mighty Xu Shuai!"
"Mighty Xu Shuai!"
After obliterating this eight-thousand-strong battle array, the fifteen thousand behind Xu Zhou erupted in cheers like mountains and seas.
Every time they wiped out an enemy formation, these soldiers earned triple war merits as well.
Although the proportion was certainly far less than that of Xu Zhou, the commander, after so many battles, the accumulated war merits were remarkable.
Upon returning, some Fourth Rank ones could rely on merits to rise to the Fifth Grade!
And those in the Fifth Grade might also rise to the Sixth Grade through merits!
This was the greatest benefit brought by war!
There was no doubt that the Military Department could provide such resources, knowing that most of the spoils obtained from each battle had to be handed over to the Military Department.
Most of the spoils were of little personal use, but with special processing and trading, they could be converted into cultivation resources.
Listening to the cheers, Xu Zhou also showed a smile on his face.
He too was genuinely happy.
After these consecutive large-scale battles, the war merits he accumulated had exceeded 1.5 million, nearing 2 million.
Even Zhong Qiang next to him couldn’t help but pat Xu Zhou’s shoulder, "Joining the Vanguard Army this time was really worth it!"
Xu Zhou glanced at him, "Who was the one who said it was too dangerous to sign up?"
Zhong Qiang said somewhat sheepishly, "I was just thinking of everyone’s safety."
This time, however, the gains were beyond his expectations, and upon returning, he could likely also achieve a major breakthrough.
The accumulation of triple war merits was just like a snowball, truly terrifying!
But Xu Zhou said, "We’ve only advanced over two thousand miles so far, it’s these remaining two thousand miles that require more caution."
Hearing this, Zhong Qiang’s expression turned serious, "Indeed, the suppression on the Earth Star Army will become smaller, and we might encounter divisions or higher-level enemy forces."
The target the Military Department set was five thousand miles; they had to occupy that location.
"Let’s go, let’s continue forward."
Xu Zhou said, intending to issue a military order.
At this moment, Qin Zhenjiang suddenly flew over and said, "Xu Shuai, look quickly, the Military Department has issued a new directive!"
"New directive?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhou immediately opened his wrist band to project the message.
Soon, his expression lifted.
Because the Military Department had indeed issued a new directive, although this directive caught him somewhat by surprise.
"Emergency redeployment order: All units of the Vanguard Army, return at full speed to support Northwest 15th District. Coordinates: North Latitude (12-35) East Longitude (45-67)"
"Northwest 15th District? What happened?"
Initially, Xu Zhou was puzzled, but after comparing the map coordinates, he was astonished.
"Isn’t this the area we are in?"
This Northwest 15th District must be a newly designated area by the Military Department, especially since this region was the first time the Blue Star Army had set foot here.
Because of this, Xu Zhou was extremely shocked.
In the area they were in, he had already swept away all enemy forces; why would other vanguard units be sent to support?
What was the Military Department doing?
At this moment, Xu Zhou’s wrist band vibrated again.
When Xu Zhou checked, he found that it was a call from Chief of Staff Chen Zhongbing of the Military Department.
When Xu Zhou was promoted to Lieutenant General, it was this person who gave the rank, and the integration of the 23rd Brigade into a composite heavy brigade was also at his hand.
"This is Chen Zhongbing, can you hear me?"
After connecting, Chen Zhongbing’s urgent voice came through the wrist band.
Xu Zhou quickly replied, "I can hear you, Chief of Staff Chen, what happened?"
Chen Zhongbing said in a deep voice, "In Northwest 15th District, an Earth Star Division has massacred our three major divisions, with nearly no resistance."
"According to predictions, that division is on your marching route; it is advised that you immediately retreat and wait for reinforcements!"
Upon hearing this, both Zhong Qiang and Qin Zhenjiang looked shocked.
"An Earth Star Division massacred our three divisions in a row?"
"Even with reduced suppression in this area, our forces shouldn’t be defeated so easily, right?"
Xu Zhou’s expression was also heavy as he quickly asked, "How far is that division from the 23rd Brigade?"
"Two thousand miles away!"
Chen Zhongbing said, "I suspect it’s the direct lineage of the Dark Realm Royal Family. If the direct lineage of the Dark Realm Royal Family is seated in the Earth Star Battle Array, our forces might need ten times the number of troops to potentially win this war."
"Ten times?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhou was slightly astonished.
He had always heard that the high grades of Earth Star suppressed Blue Star, requiring Blue Star to often send several times the number to contend with them.
Especially in the early stages of the Two Worlds Battle Array, the gap between high grades on both sides was unimaginably vast.
It even required ten times the number to barely compete.
Fortunately, over time, some fundamentally strong high grades emerged, gradually narrowing the gap.
Although a gap remained with Earth Star, it was no longer as enormous as a few hundred years ago.
But now, there is still a tenfold gap between them and the Dark Realm Royal Family?
This seemed to take them back a few hundred years, to the desperate gap when Blue Star Martial Artists faced Earth Star.
"Since the Dark Realm Royal Family is so strong, why don’t they personally take the stage to lead the Two Worlds War?"
Xu Zhou was somewhat puzzled in his heart, "If that were the case, Blue Star might not have held out, not even needing a Two Worlds passage."
Amidst the dire situation, Xu Zhou couldn’t afford to query these things.
Hearing Chen Zhongbing solemnly say, "In any case, quickly retreat, don’t engage that Earth Star Division head-on, you must wait for reinforcements!"
"Alright."
After Chen Zhongbing disconnected, Xu Zhou’s eyes flickered slightly.
Facing such a formidable enemy, the Chief of Staff didn’t let him abandon the task directly but first waited for reinforcements.
This indicated that the Chief of Staff also had a plan to kill that direct lineage of the Royal Family here.
"Direct lineage of the Dark Realm Royal Family, huh?"
Xu Zhou secretly thought, "I too really want to see how many moves this so-called direct lineage of the Dark Realm Royal Family can take from me."
However, he had no intention of direct confrontation at this moment, as he wasn’t alone; he represented fifteen thousand lives.
"Full army, retreat one thousand miles!"
Xu Zhou quickly issued the order.
