Chapter 322: Chapter 256: Death under the Peony Flower, a Romantic Ghost?
“My Lord…”
Everyone in Shadier’s party dared not speak loudly.
Activating the homeland crystal had been a task assigned to Yu Gong by the dean of the freshman division of Beijing’s national university on Blue Star.
It was beneficial not only for the entire Beijing national university, but also for the entire Xia Country.
Blue Star could confront the xenobug world through the Desolate World without directly facing it.
Their idea had always been to fund the Desolate World and convert it into Blue Star’s front line.
In private.
After activating this homeland crystal, Zheng Cheng could receive many rewards, including the loyalty of many nine-star troops.
Even rewards from the dean of the freshman division.
The price paid was just the Desolate World.
If activated, the Desolate World would face the invasion of the xenobugs head-on!
“Zheng Cheng!”
“Brother Cheng…”
Chu He and Zhuang Shuai also rushed over, several people looked at each other, then all turned their gaze towards Zheng Cheng.
Zheng Cheng did not turn his head, but directly asked, “Chu He, should we activate this homeland crystal?”
Chu He shook his head and said, “Don’t ask me.”
“If it were up to me, I would not activate it.”
“The collective strength of the Desolate World can’t match our Blue Star, once this homeland crystal is activated, their world will directly face the xenobugs.”
“Even with the support of our Blue Star, they won’t be able to hold on for long.”
“At that time, it will be a catastrophe, with countless deaths and injuries…”
His loved ones had died at the hands of the different races.
That’s why he hated the different races immensely.
But at the same time, there was also a touch of kindness in his heart.
However, this kindness only arose when facing the weak.
As for the different races, he wished to exterminate their race, and cut off their progeny!
Zhuo Wen and Zhuo Wu became anxious: “Brother Cheng, you must think this through. The dean has given us orders…”
“Enough!”
Zheng Cheng interrupted their words and said, “Baker!”
“My Lord!”
Baker had been waiting for Zheng Cheng’s order and immediately replied, “I am here.”
“Yang Hou’er!”
“I am here!”
“Zhang San!”
“I am here!”
“Niu Jindao!”
“I am here!”
Command your troops to exterminate the alien beasts outside!
“In three days, I want to collect another ten thousand units of six-star alien beast soul bodies!”
“Yes! My Lord!”
The several of them took their orders and left.
Soon, a large number of griffon knights and earth dragon knights charged towards the bottom of the mountain.
Around Black Tower Mountain, there were still a large number of alien beasts being called back quickly by Zheng Cheng’s ruse.
And the target of Baker and others were these alien beasts!
Meanwhile.
In the many homeland crystals scattered on both sides of Black Tower Mountain, more than a thousand griffon knights were also rushing back quickly.
“The alien beasts are retreating! The Lord’s plan was successful!”
“Quickly! Let’s go support the Lord!”
“Damn alien beasts, finally retreated…”
“Quick! Take the homeland crystal here with us and go!”
The griffon knights shouted loudly, some turned back, grabbed the homeland crystal and placed it on the griffin, and swiftly flew towards the top of Black Tower Mountain.
On the ground, a large number of alien beasts had already begun fighting with the vanguard of the griffon knights and earth dragon knights!
With the addition of various special foods, the combined power of these griffon knights and earth dragon knights was several times, even over ten times greater than that of the alien beasts!
In an instant, countless screams of alien beasts echoed as they were immediately killed and routed by Zheng Cheng’s troops.
And Zheng Cheng, still remained at the top of Black Tower Mountain, looking up and down at this LV9 homeland crystal!
Three days later!
The main force returned.
Baker respectfully said, “My lord! The Heroic Altar already has 16,000 units of six-star level Alien Beast souls, enough to transform three ordinary soldiers into heroes!”
“Sadei.”
“Ah? My lord…” Sadei was taken aback, she swiftly said, “My lord, I’m here.”
“Calculate based on military merits, let three people go and change their profession to become heroes.”
“Yes! My lord!”
Sadei quickly said, “Based on the calculation of military merits, the ordinary soldiers qualified for job transformation are Li Youji, Leiluo, and Lex!”
Li Youji.
Originally a three-star archer who later changed his job to a six-star griffon knight.
And now, he will become a Hero Unit!
He was also one of the first followers of Zheng Cheng.
Leiluo.
Originally a six-star magician. He was a rather rare thunder magician among magicians and was very good at thunder magic.
At the same time, he was also the deputy head of Zheng Cheng’s magician army and was extremely loyal to Zheng Cheng.
Lex.
He was originally a six-star sword-and-shield soldier, and he was the captain of Zheng Cheng’s Sword-and-Shield team, as well as the captain of Zheng Cheng’s personal guard force!
Having followed Zheng Cheng for more than half a month, their loyalty had already reached 100 points.
Swearing to follow till death!
Li Youji, Leiluo, and Lex, kneeling in front of Zheng Cheng, suppressed their excitement and said, “Greetings, my lord!”
Zheng Cheng waved his hand and said, “This is the reward you deserve, go.”
“Thank you, my lord!”
The three men rode their griffins and giant eagles, quickly leaving and flying towards their homeland crystal.
There, they had the Heroic Altar they had always dreamed of!
At the foot of the mountain.
Zhuo Wen, Zhuo Wu, Zhuang Shuai, and the others who were stopped by the Earth Dragon Knights and were not allowed to go up the mountain, looked at each other.
Watching as the three silhouettes flew off into the distance.
Zhuo Wen said curiously, “What is Brother Cheng doing? Today is the last day of the secret realm, why hasn’t he activated it?”
Zhuo Wu said, “Could it be that Brother Cheng doesn’t want to activate the homeland crystal?”
“What? How is that possible?”
“The Principal’s task!”
“You guys…”
Zhuang Shuai suddenly said mischievously, “Could it be that Brother Cheng has been dazzled by that blonde Persian cat? She’s too pretty and has an explosively good figure…
“Even if I die under a peony tree and become a ghost, it’ll be worthwhile, hehehe…”
“Is a pillow more effective than the principal’s order?”
Chu He said coldly, “You all shut up, aren’t you all under Zheng Cheng’s command? How can you spread rumors like this?”
Zhuo Wu shrunk his head and said, “Brother Cheng is forgiving, he won’t take it to heart.”
Zhuang Shuai stroked his chin and said, “In my opinion…Brother Cheng is going to compete for the top ten hidden dragons. He will definitely grow into an epic level power, or even a legendary level power. How could he care about what we say?”
“By that time, he will definitely be a big figure, a strong one who keeps everyone in check!”
“Now, I just want to hold onto his coattails, hehehe…”
“Me too, me too…”
“Me too!”
Zhuang Shuai looked at Chu He again, “Hey, Little He, aren’t you following Brother Cheng? I remember you’re just a five-star profession, right?”
Chu He shook his head, a gleam flashed in his eyes, “A good bird chooses its tree to perch. Right now, he…is not worthy of my loyalty!”
“Wait until he truly obtains the position of one of the top ten hidden dragons, then we’ll see…”
Meanwhile.
Deep within the black fog on the other side of Jasha Island, that creepy figure was still looking at Black Tower Mountain from afar.
“Humans, hurry up and activate it, hurry up and activate that damn homeland crystal!”
“I need your power to connect the two worlds, hurry up…”
Under the watchful gaze and quiet whispers full of expectations, Zheng Cheng reached out to touch the LV9 homeland crystal again.
“LV9 homeland crystal, wow, having it means owning a channel that connects two worlds.”
“Not only for me but for the entire Blue Star, it has considerable benefits.”
“What a pity…”
In his murmuring voice, Zheng Cheng clenched his fist without any hesitation and punched the homeland crystal!
“Boom!”
