Chapter 964: Chapter 627: Half a Year, Four Symbols Legion (Part 2)
Upon hearing the news, Liang He didn’t hesitate for a moment and immediately booked a ticket to Mingwang Planet.
Nine-Star Martial Arts Competition, Celestial Stele Baptism.
This might be his only chance in life. If he could seize it, he would be able to escape his mediocre talent, break through to Tier Six, and truly rewrite his destiny.
"Ah He, come on, let me show you around and help you get a good understanding of Ice Extreme Pass."
Kernis patted his shoulder, took him aboard his private flying device, and amidst the roaring engines, the device slowly ascended, flying toward the main city area of Hanshuo City.
"This is Hanshuo City, the 34th city under the jurisdiction of Ice Extreme Pass."
Kernis pointed downward and slowly introduced.
Through the window of the flying device, Liang He looked down. The entire city was enveloped in a giant light blue thermal shield, isolating the harsh cold and ice from the outside. The city was meticulously planned, with wide and flat streets bustling with vehicles and crowds. Various flying devices and airships continuously traversed back and forth. Although some areas still appeared slightly empty, vitality and vigor permeated everywhere.
Is this the appearance of the first province of Mingwang Planet...
Before coming to Ice Extreme Pass, he had specifically looked up related information.
Recently, in the past six months, Mingwang Planet has undoubtedly been the hottest planet in the entire Empire, with numerous citizens eager to immigrate here just to gain citizenship of The Ring Royal Star Belt and enjoy favorable welfare benefits.
And among the entire Mingwang Planet, Ice Extreme Pass was the brightest jewel.
It is the only S-Class city cluster that the Empire has prioritized for support, enjoying the highest level of policies and financial backing. Besides, top forces and institutions such as the Mercenary Association, Dan Tower, Empire Central Hospital, and Royal Military Academy have established branches here. Among the top 500 enterprises and consortia of the Empire, one-fifth have decided to settle here.
With the joint promotion of multiple forces, the development speed of Ice Extreme Pass has skyrocketed like a rocket. In just half a year, from an initial main city and Eight Satellite Cities, it has swiftly expanded to a province with fifty cities, firmly occupying the first province’s position on Mingwang Planet.
And the Hanshuo City under his feet at this moment is the 34th of these fifty cities.
"Ah He, the Seventh Brigade of the Azure Dragon Army where I serve is stationed in this city."
Kernis’s voice rang again, with a trace of pride in his tone, "Our Legion commander, Xue Wuyang, is a Tier Six Seven-Star Spiritualist, possessing Cyan Dragon bloodline, known for his fairness and strictness, loved by his subordinates. If you intend to join the army, my top recommendation would be our Azure Dragon Army."
After pausing, he added, "Of course, I’ll introduce you to the other Legions under Ice Extreme Pass as well, but the final choice is yours, I won’t force you."
"Ice Extreme Pass has a total of five major Legions, namely the Four Symbols Legion—the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, along with the Military Lord’s Guard Army, Extreme Corps."
"I’ve already introduced you to the Azure Dragon Army, Legion Commander Xue Wuyang, with a total force of eighty thousand, mainly responsible for guarding the ten cities including Hanshuo City, with a wide defense range and many opportunities for meritorious service."
"Next is the White Tiger Legion, which after the establishment of Ice Extreme Pass was directly assigned by the Military Department as an old Legion. The Legion Commander Ran Tu is a member of the Ran Family, a Golden Family. Before merging into Ice Extreme Pass, the White Tiger Legion was already a well-structured and battle-ready Legion. They haven’t absorbed new recruits on a large scale recently, with a rigid internal promotion system. If you join them, it might be difficult to get promoted quickly, and achieving enough war merits will also be more challenging." Kernis’s tone carried a subtle hint of criticism, as he still hoped his brother could fight alongside him.
He continued to introduce: "Then there’s the Vermilion Bird Legion, a very unique Legion in Ice Extreme Pass. Unlike the other three Legions, it’s not part of the Empire’s regular forces, more akin to a Mercenary Legion. The Legion Commander Kane is a Tier Six Four-Star Spiritualist, possessing Phoenix bloodline, primarily in charge of icy wilderness exploration, vein mining, and armed escort, rarely participating in frontal defense missions. If your goal is to join the army for merit accumulation and resource acquisition, the Vermilion Bird Legion can basically be ruled out."
In a few words, Kernis helped Liang He eliminate one option, then solemnly slowed his speech: "Next is the Black Tortoise Legion, with a Legion Commander named Xiong, a Half Beastman with formidable strength, having reached the Tier Six Nine Stars Spiritualist level. Commander Xiong has been a capable subordinate of the Military Lord since their early beginnings, earning deep trust from the Military Lord. He is assisted by strategist Zhuge Mubai from the Zhuge Clan, and the two complement each other perfectly. In just half a year, they have built the Black Tortoise Legion into an elite force. Setting aside my personal preference, the Black Tortoise Legion is also a talent-centric place, just like the Azure Dragon Army, making it a suitable choice for you."
"The last one is the Military Lord’s Guard Army—Extreme Corps. The Legion Commander is named Terreda, a veteran who has followed the Military Lord for many years. He is a Barbarian Warrior, fundamentally different from the Empire’s Spiritual Ability System. He doesn’t cultivate Spiritual Energy, but he has developed an invincible physique, with astonishing Physique and enigmatic and powerful abilities granted by his Barbarian Battle Pattern. In terms of combat strength, he’s no less impressive than Commander Xiong, and he’s one of the Military Lord’s most trusted people. However, in the Extreme Corps, more than 80% are Barbarian Warriors. They have their own tribal habits and interaction modes, so for an outsider like you, the chances to stand out might be hard to come by."
Kernis paused, placed a hand on Liang He’s shoulder, and looked into his eyes with utmost seriousness: "Alright, I’ve introduced all five Legions. My personal suggestion is, if you decide to join the army, choose between the Azure Dragon Army and the Black Tortoise Legion. Of course, as a member of the Azure Dragon Army and your closest roommate, I still hope you can join us, so we brothers can fight side by side and forge merits together!"
Liang He glanced down at the warm and strong hand on his shoulder, shaking his head helplessly but couldn’t help but smile slightly: "You’ve already brought me here, do I have any other choice? Lieutenant Kernis, in the future, Private Liang He will rely on you to watch over me."
Hearing this, Kernis burst out laughing, "Ah He, I knew you would choose our Azure Dragon Army! Let me tell you, our Azure Dragon Army is the top among the Four Symbols Legion, and the name ’Azure Dragon’ sounds much cooler than White Tiger or Black Tortoise!"
Liang He glanced at him and suddenly asked, "Did you choose the Azure Dragon Army just because of the cool name?"
Kernis’s laugh got caught in his throat, his face slightly flushed. He cleared his throat twice, pretending to be calm as he defended, "Am I that hasty? Of course, it was after thorough consideration, realizing that the Azure Dragon Army had the most promising prospects that I chose it!"
Heh, as expected.
Liang He couldn’t help but twitch his mouth slightly; he knew this roommate of four years inside out.
Kernis was straightforward, loyal, ready to stand up for those around him, but at the same time, he was also scatterbrained, often making decisions impulsively.
His most often-quoted saying was: "Strength doesn’t matter; style is for life."
He’s sure that when Kernis chose the Azure Dragon Army, the cool and stylish name accounted for at least half of the decision-making.
"Why are you looking at me like that, don’t you believe what I said?" Kernis raised his eyebrows.
"I believe, I believe~"
Liang He smiled and said:
"Lieutenant Kernis, please hurry and take me to the recruitment center. From what you said, the internal selections are about to begin, and I don’t want to waste any time."
"Alright, we’re almost there."
Kernis accelerated the flying device, and soon, they arrived at the recruitment center of Hanshuo City.
As they got off the flying device, both Liang He and Kernis suddenly paused their steps, simultaneously looking towards the massive figure standing at the forefront with a hint of surprise in their eyes.
That was—one of the nine Beastman Royals
Eternal Ice Silkworm
How did they appear here?
