Chapter 2903 - 2904: General Qing Teng

Chapter 2903: Chapter 2904: General Qing Teng

A full month passed before the trio completed the injection! During this time, nothing unexpected occurred, which made Ye Luo breathe a sigh of relief.

This means that the two hundred thousand soldiers have fully overcome the virus’s invasion, and thanks to the effectiveness of the serum, these soldiers will no longer be infected. Moreover, the threat level of the replicated virus has been reduced to a manageable degree! Even if a source is formed, it can no longer threaten the Demon Realm.

After learning this news, the commanders became extremely excited and unanimously proposed holding a large celebration.

Celebrations are quite popular in the military. For instance, after a victory or when certain commanders get promoted, it’s inevitable to celebrate!

This time, ridding the soldiers of the viral threat truly saved the lives of twenty-five thousand elite troops, and it was all thanks to Ye Luo.

Ye Luo naturally couldn’t refuse this; in leading troops, a balance of work and relaxation is essential, and sometimes it’s necessary to attend to the soldiers’ emotions.

Now, the barracks have been fully established, transforming into a military base, and the soldiers have moved from temporary tents into formal camps.

Additionally, with the crisis of the virus resolved, all formations have been withdrawn.

After all, few forces can threaten these twenty-five thousand soldiers.

A few days later, a massive celebration was held on the open ground in front of the camp.

A few days before the celebration, notable figures visited.

Among them were people from the Great Sects and prominent figures from the Royal Capital, but mainly, it was the nobility from the Royal City.

Clearly, these people must have heard the news of the virus’s removal; otherwise, previously, they wouldn’t dare approach the Prosperous Age Army.

According to the generals’ temperaments, they’d typically want to drive those nobles away since they had previously advocated for the execution of these twenty-five thousand soldiers.

However, Ye Luo stopped them. He knew that these nobles were merely opportunists; every world has people like them. Ye Luo wasn’t afraid of offending them, but they were like flies, and Ye Luo couldn’t be bothered to deal with them.

Moreover, Princess Qinse played a role in this. She was different from Ye Luo and those Great Generals. Ye Luo would eventually leave the Demon Realm; those generals, being in the military, could ignore the nobles. But Princess Qinse, regardless of whether she could inherit the throne in the future, would inevitably have interactions with them.

So, Ye Luo ordered that the nobles not be troubled. Even if the soldiers didn’t drive them away, they certainly wouldn’t show them any friendly faces.

Of course, many among them came specifically for Ye Luo.

The reason was Ye Luo’s method for eliminating the virus!

They had no idea what serum was, naturally assuming he used some spell to remove it, but Ye Luo didn’t provide an explanation.

On the day of the celebration, a dense crowd of cultivators gathered in front of the camp, among whom was a huge platform, temporarily constructed by the legion.

A few generals sat on it, appearing majestic. They had attended countless celebrations before, so there were no special emotions, but this time, the scale of the celebration was indeed significant.

"Everyone, this celebration is extraordinary; it marks the rebirth day of our Prosperous Age Army’s twenty-five thousand soldiers!" The old general slowly walked to the front of the stage and said solemnly.

Upon hearing these words, the nobles’ expressions naturally became unnatural, knowing full well what the old general meant.

"And all of this is thanks to the Royal Teacher’s benevolence! We humbly ask the Royal Teacher to grace us with his presence to receive the respect of us soldiers!"

Subsequently, Ye Luo slowly walked onto the stage. In fact, those generals had set up multiple segments for the celebration, but Ye Luo simplified them all; the celebration was just a formality after all, making it overly complex would merely waste time.

Other forces had long obtained the information they desired, and Ye Luo was currently in the limelight, not needing to use this celebration to gain more fame.

After Ye Luo went up, he spoke a few words indifferently; initially, everyone thought he would mock those nobles, but surprisingly, he didn’t mention them at all. After a brief speech, he stepped down from the stage.

This left some cultivators somewhat disappointed, as the celebration wasn’t as lively as they had anticipated.

"Royal Teacher, I’ve heard the Prosperous Age Army is filled with masters, why not have a martial contest so we can broaden our horizons!"

Suddenly, a middle-aged man shouted loudly from below.

Who is this?

Everyone looked towards him in confusion.

"It’s General Qing Teng from the King of Huainan’s faction!"

Suddenly, someone exclaimed.

The King of Huainan is a Great General under whom Qing Teng serves, having followed the King of Huainan in battles for over a century with rare defeats. His reputation in the military and the Royal City is quite high.

Although they were soldiers under the King of Huainan, different legions naturally had competitive relationships. Some even had old and new grudges, so occasional minor conflicts weren’t unexpected.

"Oh? General Qing Teng, what do you mean by that?" One of the generals on stage said coldly.

"Heh, it’s widely rumored that the Prosperous Age Army is extraordinarily brave, and everyone naturally wants to witness it!" Qing Teng replied boldly.

"How do you want to witness it? Our Prosperous Age Army is ready to accompany you completely!" The general immediately responded, his speech full of dominance!

Upon hearing this, Qing Teng immediately laughed loudly, "As everyone knows, military and ordinary cultivators are different, focusing on formations and group cooperation. It’s rumored that the Prosperous Age Army’s formation is refined, so this time, my Western Legion would like to experience it. Why not each side send a thousand-man legion to compete?"

Upon hearing this, many cultivators’ eyes lit up.

Originally, the army was quite mysterious to these cultivators. The unspoken rule was that the army didn’t enter the Royal City, so even the nobility rarely saw it, let alone saw it in battle.

Previous battles around the Royal City were absolute exceptions, occurrences that happen only once in hundreds of years.

Furthermore, the nobility hadn’t dared to approach for observation then.

"Haha, that’s naturally good. On behalf of the Marquis Mansion, I offer two thousand top-grade crystal stones as rewards for the victorious soldiers!" a middle-aged man suddenly laughed.

"My King’s Mansion also offers two thousand top-grade crystal stones!"

"The Duke’s Mansion offers three thousand!"

...

Immediately, the surrounding nobles called out one after another; they lacked other things but weren’t short of crystal stones. These combined could serve as several years’ worth of military expenses for the Prosperous Age Army.
