Merging with Demon Spirits-Chapter 525 - 374: Entering the Land of Chaos

The shouts swept over Shangjing like waves, with one familiar or unfamiliar name after another echoing across the country simultaneously.

Time ticked to 8:30, half an hour before entering the Land of Chaos.

By this time, eight or nine hundred people had gathered around Lin Feng, with more continuously joining in.

In front of them stood fifty thousand soldiers.

They wore crisp military uniforms, their postures were upright, their eyes resolute, and their expressions solemn and stern, each with a weapon belt strapped to their waists and holding a submachine gun.

Due to the instability of the Space Gate, weapons like rocket launchers couldn’t be used, but submachine guns and grenades could.

In this large-scale war, there were no longer restrictions on weapon usage.

Of the fifty thousand soldiers, the vast majority were Intermediate Martial Artists, with very few Advanced ones, and Demon Spirit Masters were even rarer.

The capability of these soldiers was not strong, but they were well-trained and coordinated with each other.

They fought in a team manner, and even if a group like Lin Feng’s encountered them, they could only avoid them.

Not that they couldn’t be defeated, but there was no need.

Because it would waste a significant amount of Soul Power.

Looking at the densely packed soldiers before him, Lin Feng sighed softly in his heart.

Having participated in the Key battle before, he knew what these soldiers were for.

With the strength of soldiers, they are simply unable to seize the Key.

Their role is that of cannon fodder!

Very cruel, but indeed the truth.

Besides protecting them, the main task of the soldiers was to use their lives to weaken the enemy’s numbers and Soul Power.

The soldiers clearly knew their role and duty, and their eyes were filled with determination and ferocity, already prepared for death.

War is very cruel, out of fifty thousand soldiers, less than a tenth might survive.

In the face of real war, life is fragile and cheap, and the war between two different worlds is even more bloody and cruel, with no room for compromise.

As the time approached, the atmosphere grew more oppressive, with a sense of sadness permeating the air.

Representatives of the Glory Race, as well as previously registered and rewarded talents, came forward, as well as some who volunteered despite not having received any rewards.

At 9:00, the number of volunteers, including Lin Feng and others, exceeded a thousand.

"First group, in!"

Accompanied by a furious shout.

The soldiers, originally standing motionless, began to step onto the high platform, moving in groups of a hundred, slowly but firmly stepping into the Space Gate.

Before Lin Feng and others could enter, they needed to first clear obstacles and deplete the enemy’s numbers.

"Glory!"

The moment the soldiers entered the Land of Chaos, the crowd suddenly erupted in a furious roar, everyone standing straight, eyes resolute, expressions solemn and respectful, with their right hands over their hearts.

And as this roar began, it instantly spread throughout the city, even nationwide, with everyone watching in front of their TVs also standing upright, right hands on their hearts, shouting.

Lin Feng did the same, shouting loudly.

The soldiers deserve the respect of everyone.

No matter when, those who rush to the front lines to defend the country are always the soldiers.

These soldiers have already embraced the thought of certain death, compared to them, the chances of survival are even lower.

The words "glory" echoed across the nation.

The soldiers entered the Space Gate in silence, and when all the soldiers had entered the Land of Chaos, Hong Tao stepped slightly forward and said:

"Since you are here, you have already prepared to sacrifice."

"You are all heroes! The pride of the nation! The pride of your parents and loved ones!"

"You all know the importance of this Key! Its ownership will determine whether the second Elemental Space Gate will appear!"

"To a certain extent, it will also decide whether the war will come sooner!"

"Regardless of the outcome, whether or not you obtain the Key, you must make the Alien Race understand the cost of invasion."

There was no pre-battle inspiration, nor unnecessary words; these held little significance for Lin Feng and the others.

Hong Tao merely emphasized the importance of the Key once more.

"These words leave no room for retreat."

Yu Qiao whispered with slight dissatisfaction.

The others too looked solemn.

Lin Feng remained silent; although Hong Tao’s words were cruel, they were truthful.

If the Key retrieval failed, causing heavy casualties to the enemy would undoubtedly bring fear, which was also a way to prevent the next Space Gate from merging.

Cruel, but a method nonetheless.

Everyone’s expressions were solemn as they started to orderly enter the Land of Chaos.

At this moment, truly stepping onto the high platform, even though they were prepared, there was still some hesitation and fear.

In front of Lin Feng, a young man in his twenties trembled slightly, his face somewhat pale.

He seemed to want to take a step forward but his body was somewhat stiff.

"Haha."

Seeing the young man’s appearance, a teammate beside him couldn’t help but laugh.

The young man wasn’t alone; some even collapsed to the ground, trembling in fear.

Soldiers had no choice, but volunteers did.

Faced with the imminent slaughter, some began to fear, and not just a few, with over a hundred choosing to give up, including some of the rewarded talents and representatives of the Glory Race.

Even some Kings!

"A bunch of cowards!"

Yu Qiao laughed, with a hint of sarcasm.

Lin Feng watched the scene silently, looking at the shame and paleness on the faces of those fleeing, he didn’t ridicule.

Those able to stand there were already much braver than the majority.

They had the courage to fight against the Alien Race.

But not everyone had embraced the resolution of certain death.
