Chapter 392 Departure
The Polar Star Battlefield is divided into nine major military regions.
Named after the Beidou Nine Stars.
The nine major corps each have their strengths, supporting and assisting each other, and have contributed blood sacrifices for the continuation of the Great Xia Empire's civilization…
In fact, in recent years, there has been a Tenth Legion outside of these nine major corps!
The Baoyan Army Legion.
It is a corps almost assembled solely relying on the personal charisma of Feng Zhichen.
It is said that Feng Zhichen once spent his entire fortune to adopt thousands of orphans, and he trained them in martial skills for almost no charge, and taught them literacy.
The only condition was that before learning martial skills, they needed to sign a contract.
Upon reaching the Huichuan Realm, they must serve three years in the Polar Star Battlefield.
If they survive after three years, they can obtain their freedom and do whatever they want thereafter.
If they wish to stay in the Wind Fist Style, they can stay; if they wish to leave, they are not hindered.
Moreover, Feng Zhichen imparted all his martial skills without reserve and did not prohibit them from spreading these skills in the Polar Star Battlefield, which led to the establishment of the Tenth Legion, the Baoyan Army Legion.
Although Feng Zhichen had no military rank on the Polar Star Battlefield, undoubtedly, the entire corps can be considered his direct line...
It can be considered as belonging to the Wind Fist Style.
Sun Lingli gave Xu Lingjun this token with a very clear intention; as long as he took out this token, he would be the future Stream Master of the Wind Fist Style. At that time, even if those people were not directly under his command, as long as they had a slight sense of belonging to the Wind Fist Style, Xu Lingjun would not be without backing.
"I really have to thank her a lot when I get back."
Xu Lingjun murmured, feeling somewhat complex in his heart... Sun Lingli evidently learned that he was going to the Polar Star Battlefield, and immediately came to the Imperial Capital to give this jade pendant to Han Yun City.
She truly put a lot of effort into him.
He realized he owed a huge favor.
He had no idea how to repay it in the future.
"By the way, there's also a protective talisman she wore since childhood, said to be protected by Heroic Spirits, which helped her through many crises. She also asked me to give it to you."
Han Yun City handed Xu Lingjun a small box and said, "She said this protective talisman shouldn't be touched by a third party, so I didn't touch it. Keep it close to you."
"Alright."
Xu Lingjun took the box.
He carefully stored it with the token.
Han Yun City clapped his hands and said, "Alright, my task is completed. Now, are you ready? If so, we can depart."
"I've been waiting here for you all."
Xu Lingjun seriously said.
Li Jingjun curiously glanced at Han Yun City, then at Xu Lingjun, realizing these two should have been rivals... but there seemed to be an unspoken understanding between them.
She opened her mouth but ended up letting out a sigh.
She told Xu Lingjun, "Xu Tongxue, be careful on the road."
Although she wanted to go with him, her cultivation technique fusion was at a critical point, and now was not the best time.
Besides, Li Fufeng had warned her about this matter.
Wanting to temper oneself in the Polar Star Battlefield was fine.
But never with Xu Lingjun.
On the battlefield, sometimes sacrifices must be made... if two people who care for each other are together, it's not a good thing.
So, all her words were condensed into a single advice.
"Don't worry, I will."
Xu Lingjun held Li Jingjun's hand, turned to Li Fufeng, and seriously said, "Old Madam, I'm going to the Polar Star Battlefield now. Don't worry; I will become Jingjun's hero in the future, wearing a military uniform and coming to marry Jingjun on a starship."
"Then I look forward to seeing that day."
Li Fufeng nodded with gratification.
Han Yun City looked at Xu Lingjun, then at Li Jingjun and Li Fufeng, and couldn't help but click his tongue secretly. He felt that wherever he saw Old Xu, there were always various adorable girls around him.
Rumor had it that the Old Madam of the Li Family was the most traditional and stubborn person, and yet she seemed unaffected by such matters?
Or perhaps even someone as traditional as Old Madam Li couldn't dislike Old Xu?
Remarkable.
"Let's go. If things turn out well this time, it will be a tremendous merit, at least ensuring that your rank as Deputy Commander won't be criticized."
Han Yun City patted Xu Lingjun's shoulder.
Xu Lingjun nodded, telling Li Jingjun, "Things change rapidly on the battlefield, unlike within Blue Star. I'll leave Daxiong here for you to take care of."
Li Jingjun said, "Don't worry, I'll make sure it's well-fed and healthy."
"Make it slim down!"
Xu Lingjun said with a dark face, "It's a leopard; if it eats more, it'll be a tiger, and if it gets fatter, it'll be a pig. How will it hunt in the future? Fortunately, the Li Family lives in the forest; push it to the mountain and let it hunt by itself, so it decides whether to be hungry or not."
"Alright then."
Li Jingjun said.
At this moment, a white shadow flashed through the forest, and a giant beast jumped out, nuzzling up to Xu Lingjun, as if to say, "I'm not fat."
Xu Lingjun cuddled with Daxiong affectionately, then indicated to Li Jingjun to hold it back so it wouldn't follow him.
.........
The luggage had long been packed.
Li Fufeng had no intention of entertaining Han Yun City and others, realizing they had a critical mission on the Polar Star Battlefield, and no time should be wasted.
So, the five people directly rode a special vehicle towards Biluo City.
The distance from Yu Mountain City to Biluo City was only a few hundred miles, taking just over an hour.
As the mountains began to wane, the special vehicle entered the plains again.
Ahead, the majestic Biluo City emerged distantly before everyone's eyes…
Unlike other places Xu Lingjun and others had visited, Biluo City sounds elegant, yet in reality, it was named so because within a hundred-mile radius of Biluo City, there were no clouds and an endless expanse.
In fact, it was a fortress!
Almost the entire population was soldiers, living in homes similar to air-raid shelters. Here, they were already infinitely close to the battlefield, and if the Polar Star Battlefield was lost, Biluo City would be the first line of defense.
Casual people were certainly not allowed to live here.
As the five approached Biluo City,
they could see a starlit passageway leading straight up into the sky…
Like a space-time tunnel.
Star Ring!
Starships had to pass through this Star Ring for entry and exit, counted as Blue Star's final barrier.
The three Star Rings were respectively guarded and used by the Three Great Empires; any starship not passing through a Star Ring to enter or exit Blue Star would face the strictest penalties, with virtually no chance of landing safely.
The five proceeded into Biluo City.
After enduring heavy inquiries, they reached near the Star Ring.
A mini starship was already waiting there.
"Vice Commander Han, the Watcher Battleship is ready. Please board, fasten your seatbelts, and do not move around. The warship will take off in half an hour."
A fully armed warrior saluted Han Yun City respectfully and said.
"Thank you!"
Han Yun City returned the salute, his eyes showing a hint of... excitement and fervor.
Here was his realm; he felt suffocated in the Imperial Capital.
Xu Lingjun glanced around with a curious excitement, noting the massive mechs quietly standing in the cabin, ready for deployment at any moment!
Seeing these mechs, Xu Lingjun felt a stir of excitement; indeed, all men have aspirations to serve their country.
