Chapter 761: Chapter 468 The Call of Ten Thousand People! (Fast Read)_3

When the decision was made, under Chen Yuan’s command, Lady Xu immediately had people purchase a large batch of fruits, vegetables, and meats to prepare a comfort package for Chen Yuan to take to his loyal troops.

That afternoon, Du Ming began his journey, laden with a large load of supplies.

Chen Yuan disguised himself such that no one could recognize him.

This army still had no name; it was always an invisible presence. Placing the meat and produce outside the Tangshan mountain range, Du Ming then instructed the wagons to return.

After waiting for almost a quarter of an hour, a rumbling sound like a mountain collapse began to thunder forth.

Du Ming bowed deeply and said,

"My lord, this is the cavalry that I have forged. Though they are few in number, each one possesses Bone Refining Cultivation on par with the Heavenly Patrol Guard, and the steeds they ride

are exotic breeds brought from the border..."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly. Martial Artists, especially those with high Cultivation, didn’t ride ordinary warhorses. Many elite forces rode exotic breeds.

Like the guards of East Sea Martial Emperor City.

Like the renowned Iron Cavalry of Beiliang in Jianghu, who also rode exotic horses, possessing extraordinary combat power.

Some say that below the Core Realm, no matter how strong a Martial Artist’s strength and Cultivation are, they could never withstand the charge of a thousand riders on exotic horses, with their ferocious Evil Qi.

Soon, the thunderous rumble drew closer, and dust filled the sky. Then, Chen Yuan saw nearly a hundred cavalrymen clad in dark, deep armor thundering towards him.

At about thirty yards from Chen Yuan and Du Ming, the nearly hundred cavalry drew rein in unison, forming a disciplined array, exuding an aura of ruthless efficiency.

The nearly hundred cavalry dismounted and saluted in unison:

"Greetings, Capital Commandant!"

"Greetings, Capital Commandant!"

Du Ming stepped forward and declared in a solemn voice,

"This is our master, Chen Yuan, the Green Envoy!"

The nearly hundred cavalry focused their gazes, immediately fixing their attention on Chen Yuan, who met their stares with calm composure.

"Greetings, my lord!"

"Greetings, my lord!"

"Rise," said Chen Yuan.

With a wave of his bare hand, an invisible surge of Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy enveloped the nearly hundred men, instantly straightening their stances involuntarily, their gazes towards Chen Yuan filled with fervor.

As his glance swept over them, there was not a single change of expression out of place, which pleased Chen Yuan greatly.

Du Ming did indeed have some skills. With the substantial resource support obtained after Tangshan Prefecture was on the right track, he had managed to assemble a formidable cavalry force for him.

Although it was still too early to judge their strengths and weaknesses, at the least, their spirit was extraordinary and their discipline strict.

"Return to camp!" Chen Yuan commanded aloud.

"By your command!"

"By your command!"

As the Iron Cavalry made way, Chen Yuan and Du Ming traveled by air, and in approximately half an hour, they finally entered deep into the Tangshan mountain range.

That was also where the military camp was located.

In Chen Yuan’s perception, numerous strands of Qi were circling around the camp, which clarified things for him, because Du Ming had mentioned that in order to prevent intelligence leaks, precautions had been taken to prevent information from getting out.

It could be said that the camp was guarded as tightly as a sealed iron barrel.

Moreover, there were many concealment formations from Array Masters nearby, preventing anyone who didn’t intentionally come to this place from discovering that within a seemingly ordinary valley, a grand army of ten thousand men lay hidden!

As Chen Yuan stepped into the military camp, he heard a cacophony of shouts. Walking along, Du Ming also briefed him on some detailed information regarding the camp.

He said the army was not yet ready for large-scale battle because it had not yet endured the baptism of war. To maintain the soldiers’ fearlessness towards killing,

every seven days, a batch of death-row inmates was brought from the prisons of Tangshan Prefecture for the soldiers to practice on.

If one were victorious, they were rewarded with money and women; if defeated, their life and death were of no concern - and the death-row inmates would in turn be conscripted.

Survival of the fittest was a principle thoroughly enacted here!

The camp was a medley of people: noble sons, Heavenly Patrol Guards, death-row criminals, and elderly veterans from the Military Equipment Army.

In order to forge a force ready for battle in a short time, Du Ming had also discussed with Han Yu and used many methods to integrate many elite troops from the border regions.

Mixing the seasoned soldiers with the new ones enables the army to become battle-ready more swiftly.

Chen Yuan offered a few words of encouragement, and the moment he entered the military camp, he sensed an ominous and murderous Qi. The Emperor Slaughter Saber even trembled as if expressing its excitement.

As he walked, a multitude of voices reached his ears.

An instructor with Heavenly Gang Cultivation was questioning loudly.

Chen Yuan looked up, taking everything in.

The instructor barked out a question:

"Whose clothes are you wearing?"

"Lord Chen’s clothes!"

Hundreds of voices responded in unison.

"Whose food are you eating?"

"Lord Chen’s food!"

"Whose weapons are you using?"

"Lord Chen’s weapons!"

"Who provides for your families?"

"Lord Chen provides for us!"

"So, what should you do?"

"Die for Lord Chen!"

"Die for Lord Chen!"

"Die for Lord Chen!"

The chorus of voices grew louder and more forceful, stirring the hearts of all who heard it.

Chen Yuan nodded slightly; naturally, he trained the soldiers for his own purposes. Should he really endeavor to conquer the realm in the future, these troops would be the ones to defend and keep the peace. Jianghu martial artists were too scattered and unruly to manage.

Not as loyal as an army.

And these words were all part of the ceremony he had already established beforehand.

Du Ming followed them to the letter.

"My lord, should you make an appearance?"

"Since we are here, let’s meet them!"

Chen Yuan declared in a deep voice.

At his command, Du Ming naturally complied and immediately ordered his deputy to gather all the soldiers in the camp.

Rows upon rows of neatly organized soldiers began to gather at the training ground, and within merely a quarter of an hour, everyone was present. Looking out, he saw a sea of heads standing tall.

Not a single person dared to whisper among themselves, all eyes were focused on what lay ahead.

Du Ming was the first to step forward, proclaiming loudly:

"Soldiers, this is Lord Chen Yuan, the man who provides for your families, clothes you, and feeds you, allowing you to step onto the path of martial arts!"

The speech was succinct, because... today was not his stage.

With one step, Chen Yuan emerged, and the wind and clouds in the void converged around him, as if heaven itself were tilting. He looked down upon the assembled armored soldiers below and said in a deep voice:

"I am Chen Yuan!"

There was no need for a grand introduction, just this simple statement, yet it was laden with formidable power.

Tens of thousands looked up to Chen Yuan and kneeled on one knee in unison:

"We will die for our lord!"

"We will die for our lord!"

"We will die for our lord!"

....

It seems everyone is quite... fond of the ’Legacy of Wei Warriors’....
