Galaxy Domination Guide-Chapter 518 - 506 Army Million
Only one week remained until the onset of the Era of the Dragon, and the astronomical observation Enslaved Beasts established by Zero still could not detect any signs of the approaching dragon swarms. That was normal, however, as the dragon hordes were led by the Rapids Dragons, so they likely weren't within the observable surface layer of the material world.

An impressive army was on its way to the [Altar], which was precisely where the Rapids Dragon Yi Angde had instructed all the Lords to bring the populations they were to offer when the Era of the Dragon began. No one knew when the grand yet dilapidated Altar had been built, perhaps hundreds or even thousands of years ago. Some speculated it was constructed by the dragon swarms, but Bai Zhongqi did not believe that the dragons, which lacked a spirit of labor and were even clumsy with their limbs, would build such a huge edifice.
He led his army here with a single purpose: to fight a decisive battle against the dragon swarm that was preparing for a feast. This was not what he considered an intelligent strategy, as better concealing the army and attacking the scattered dragon swarms might be more advantageous. But if that were the case, the dragon swarm would wreak havoc across the entire planet, leading to a catastrophe for all living things.
Bai Zhongqi, who had now made Yimoduoya his new base of operations, would not stand idly by and let such a thing happen.
The main force of this military operation was still various Enslaved Beasts. Ever since Bai Zhongqi had coaxed Zero into transforming the Enslaved Beast army from the terrifying appearance of the great bugs of the previous few generations of the Swarm Empress into the nearly unrecognizable weaponized Enslaved Beasts of today, the combat capability of the Swarm at the same level had actually increased dramatically. Especially at lower levels of civilization, the striking power of human-made weapons was indeed more impressive than the versatile monster-type Enslaved Beasts.
The scale of the Enslaved Beast army that Bai Zhongqi was leading at this moment had reached an impressive level of 600,000 infantry, tens of thousands of ground vehicles, and over 5,000 warplanes. Although individually these Enslaved Beasts were definitely no match for dragons, Bai Zhongqi's pursuit was the superiority of systemic combat.
Beyond just the Enslaved Beast army, Bai Zhongqi had also selected surrendered private armies of the former Lords, ultimately arming up to four hundred thousand troops. This four-hundred-thousand-strong army came from two continents and even conscripted a significant portion of young adult males.
Bai Zhongqi also specially created a propaganda Enslaved Beast, which was essentially a big screen with storage capabilities, towed by large animals to various territories.
Bai Zhongqi recorded a speech of his own, which said:
"For uncounted times, Yimoduoya has been plagued by the dragon swarm, and each Era of the Dragon nearly spells doom for the humans on this planet. For this reason, we cannot keep complete historical records, and our culture and technology cannot fully develop. Countless people tremble at the onset of the Era of the Dragon, and as the Evil Dragons manipulate Lords in order to survive dragon-slayer assaults by having them betray their own people in exchange for their craven lives, these domineering Lords do not value human life, and almost none would hesitate to trade the lives of seventy percent of their subjects to save their own. How much longer must Yimoduoya languish in such darkness? Are humanity destined to live under the shadow of fear instilled by the Evil Dragons forever?
No! Of course not! Humans are the vanguards of all beings on this planet, possessing wisdom and industriousness. We can create tools to sustain our families and offspring; we can create weapons to protect our lives and future. Humans cannot stand against Evil Dragons because we have yet to grasp the knowledge and weapons needed to confront them. But now, I, Bai Zhongqi, the ruler of Yimoduoya, the king of humanity, am here to offer you weapons that can easily penetrate Evil Dragons, knowledge that allows you to lead better lives. What I ask of you is your loyalty to me, your faith in human civilization, and your courage to fight."
"I will lead you, with our sharpest weapons, to break through this dark sky and truly open a path for Yimoduoya to safely develop and pursue the truths of the Universe and a better life. I will stand at the forefront, thrusting my sword at the Evil Dragon, and as long as I do not fall, Yimoduoya will not perish, humanity will not perish. This is our homeland, and it is our era, victory is predestined, just needing to be plucked. Now, follow me to war!"
One could say that after so many years on Earth and having seen countless video editing techniques, Bai Zhongqi completely used mixed-cutting method and an unprecedentedly magnificent speech to inspire those who were originally living in fear. Especially because he included footage in the video of anti-aircraft guns shooting down False Dragons at Mount Ranji, which most people didn't realize were False Dragons, but naturally thought were real Evil Dragons. Seeing Bai Zhongqi's weapon taking down the Evil Dragons as if reaping wheat, every person's heart wavered with boundless enthusiasm and lofty sentiments.
"This is a war that can be won!"
This thought began to sprout in the minds of countless individuals, and after Bai Zhongqi's powerful Humanoid Beast army arrived, many youths abandoned their farming tools and joined Bai Zhongqi's army. They were issued military uniforms and crammed into large transports, sent from all over the world to the training camps established by Bai Zhongqi. After an extremely brief training period, they were sent to the battlefield.
Obviously, these people could not possibly form any particularly strong combat force, and even more likely, they would become casualties or cause chaos once on the battlefield. But Bai Zhongqi knew that to forge a new planet and establish a new civilization, to unite a nation through blood and fire, was the best way.
The image of Bai Zhongqi swept through the hearts of every Yimoduoyan like a whirlwind, a "Great Lord" willing to fight for his people, eliminated all the other lords and became the sole sovereign of this world. He intended to use his powerful military might to eradicate the Evil Dragons and secure a better future for the Yimoduoyans.
Such propaganda was undoubtedly very effective, and the recognition of Bai Zhongqi was gradually strengthening.
Even Lang Rishong, who had thought about fleeing at the beginning, was now looking rather spirited every day. Bai Zhongqi allowed him to select the most outstanding soldiers to form the Chancellor's trusted aide, and Lang Rishong soon chose over three thousand excellent young men. Although their combat capability could not be guaranteed, their appearance was absolutely the best.
While other soldiers were outfitted with standard camouflage military uniforms, Lang Rishong's subordinates donned a set of Silver Armor and wore white capes, looking very imposing.
When the shape of the Altar had been fully revealed before Bai Zhongqi's million-strong army, Lang Rishong holding a camera (in reality, an Enslaved Beast) approached Bai Zhongqi, "Chancellor, please take a photo with the elites who triumphed in this grand contest among the trusted aides."
