Chapter 2940: Chapter 2943: True Soldiers

Battlefield World, Cross-Border City.

Just like in the Void Nether Realm, the city beside the teleportation array that connects to the other realm was also named Cross-Border City.

In front of Cross-Border City’s gates stood rows of warriors in blood-colored armor, and up on the gate tower, two figures in golden armor were watching that dazzling pillar of light soaring into the heavens in the distance.

"It’s connected! The two realms are finally officially connected!"

One golden-armored man sighed aloud.

"It’s been over fifty thousand years. Ever since our fathers arrived fifty thousand years ago, they’ve never gone back. Our descendants and posterity will most likely be rejected by the Void Nether Realm."

The other person spoke with some emotion.

"It’s pretty good now. We’ve formed a world of our own, our descendants can live here, and if they want to go back for a look, they’ll be given preferential treatment. This policy from the Commander has provided us with tremendous convenience! Even if the younger generation goes to the Void Nether Realm, they’ll be treated as honored guests!"

The one who spoke first showed a trace of gratitude in his eyes.

These two were the two Vice Commanders of the Blood Wolf Army, both Supreme Pinnacle experts!

Their fathers were the commanders who, over fifty thousand years ago, led the elite legions of the Five Continents to garrison the Dead Spirit Battlefield. They were the first batch of children born destined to face the battlefield, and this one battle had gone on for over fifty millennia!

Born to prepare for war, on the battlefield at sixteen, and that one war lasting fifty thousand years—the military code was already engraved in their bones!

When the great war finally ended, they were actually a bit unaccustomed to it. When they heard that the Blood Wolf Army was expanding and turning into the Enforcement Legion of the Battlefield World, almost everyone above the Unity Realm Stage from the Dead Spirit Battlefield rushed to Blood Wolf City to report.

Their whole lives had been spent campaigning, spent in the army. Asking them to return to the lifestyle of ordinary cultivators was basically impossible. The Blood Wolf Army was their best choice.

What’s more, the Commander of the Blood Wolf Army was Jiang Chen, the one who ended the Extraterritorial Battlefield war.

In their eyes, that was their benefactor. Their gratitude toward him was even stronger than the feelings of all the powers in the Void Nether Realm.

Those powers in the Void Nether Realm at most just felt that they no longer needed to be perpetually ready for war. But they were the most direct group: Jiang Chen’s appearance had freed them from a war with no end in sight. To them, that was a colossal favor that had benefited countless generations of their descendants!

Thus, they truly admired and were grateful to Jiang Chen. Even as Supreme Pinnacle experts, they were willing to serve under Jiang Chen’s banner!

Almost all of the first generation who entered the Dead Spirit Battlefield had died. Only the descendants who were born into war were still alive. They actually didn’t have much emotional attachment to the Void Nether Realm.

Born on the Dead Spirit Battlefield, raised on the Dead Spirit Battlefield, fought on the Dead Spirit Battlefield—the Dead Spirit Battlefield was their home!

Now that the Dead Spirit Battlefield had fused with the Extraterritorial Battlefield, that Extraterritorial Battlefield was their home. This Battlefield World was their true root, while the Void Nether Realm at most could be considered their ancestral land. Aside from this first generation born on the Dead Spirit Battlefield perhaps having some lingering thoughts, the others felt nothing at all.

Even for this first generation born on the Dead Spirit Battlefield, their feelings for the Void Nether Realm only came from what their fathers had told them. That was all.

They were very clear that, although in name the Void Nether Realm was their ancestral land, after so many years the Void Nether Realm most likely no longer had a place for them to set foot.

After more than fifty thousand years, their hometown might have already been wiped away in the river of history. After all, in the cultivator world, a piece of land without powerful experts sitting in town being invaded by others was far too common.

The Five Great Emperors had all gone out to war; even if their home really had been destroyed, they wouldn’t blame anyone. They were already mentally prepared when they left.

Besides, even if it hadn’t been destroyed, there wouldn’t be many acquaintances left. After fifty thousand years, anyone who hadn’t become a Saint Monarch would have already fallen. Those who had become Saint Monarchs—well, the friends and loved ones of that era were all on the battlefield too!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

A series of sounds of tearing through the air rang out. The eyes of the two Supreme Experts instantly turned cold. Someone dared to charge straight over the sky of Cross-Border City without the slightest intent to descend? Bold indeed!

They were stationed here today precisely to overawe those coming from the Void Nether Realm. Now, seeing someone offend them, they were just about to unleash their Domain when their expressions suddenly changed slightly, and both of them rose into the air.

"Up ahead is Cross-Border City. We’ll head to the City Lord’s Mansion."

In one section of the sky, Jiang Chen pointed at the huge city that had appeared ahead, introducing it in a soft voice.

"Cross-Border City—you guys really are lazy. Battlefield World, Cross-Border City... can’t you put a bit more effort into naming things?"

Tang Jie curled his lips and complained.

"It was named by the Second Prince. You got a problem with it? Fine, when we see the Second Prince I’ll be sure to tell him."

Jiang Chen gave Tang Jie a teasing look, as if he were about to go see Si Wenjun right away.

"No, no, no, I didn’t say anything. I won’t admit to it, okay?!"

Tang Jie was startled and hurriedly waved his hands to stop him.

Pfft!

"Hahaha!"

Everyone burst out laughing.

Swish, swish!

Just at that moment, two figures suddenly appeared in front of them, a majestic aura pouring out from the two.

"Greetings, seniors!"

"Greetings, seniors!"

Jian Cangqiong and the others’ expressions changed; they all cupped their fists and bowed, their hearts violently trembling.

Supreme Experts!

Two Supreme Experts!

What was going on? Had they been too presumptuous?

It had to be that. It seemed no one else was flying so recklessly like them! This was bad!

"We greet the Commander!"

Just as Jian Cangqiong and the others were getting increasingly nervous, two old voices tinged with respect rang out.

Everyone froze for a moment. When they raised their heads and looked, they were instantly dumbfounded!

Holy shit!

The two Supreme Experts were bowing to Jiang Chen!?

What the hell?! This guy Jiang Chen’s status in this Battlefield World was actually that high?

"Elder Jiang, Elder Qin, please rise!"

Jiang Chen’s figure flashed to the front of the two, and he reached out to help them up.

Although they’d willingly become his subordinates, Jiang Chen still held genuine respect for these seniors.

"Commander, Vice Commander Zhao, Vice Commander Zhu, Sword General Lord and Wine Commander are already waiting in the City Lord’s Mansion!"

Elder Jiang spoke respectfully.

"Thank you, both of you. This time I’ll need you two to intimidate the visitors from the Void Nether Realm, so they won’t dare act too overbearing toward the people of my Battlefield World."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly and softly instructed.

"We will do our utmost!"

The two elders both cupped their fists, speaking with solemnity.

"Good, then I’ll first bring a few friends over."

Jiang Chen smiled and nodded.

The two old men stepped aside to clear the way, and everyone moved, flying into Cross-Border City and heading straight for the City Lord’s Mansion.

"Holy shit! Jiang Chen, what... what’s your deal?!"

After entering Cross-Border City, Tang Jie turned to look back at the two figures who had returned to the gate tower, his face full of shock as he stared at Jiang Chen. His eyeballs were about to pop out.

Jian Cangqiong and the others were also staring at Jiang Chen in shock. Two Supreme Experts had bowed to him—this was simply beyond their belief.

"They are warriors—true soldiers."

Jiang Chen spoke softly, a trace of emotion in his eyes.

Jian Cangqiong and the others paused for a moment, then suddenly understood.

Especially Tang Jie and Xiang Wuhui—they’d been on the battlefield and personally experienced the discipline of the army.

True soldiers don’t measure by strength, they only recognize military merit!
