Chapter 3121: 3121 Chapter 3121: Joining the Ninth Army, A Silent Army Comparing maps, Lin Moyu discovered some differences. The Golden Lion clan’s materials also included a map, but that map was formed by compiling information from each clan member after repeated entries. There were inevitably many errors, but these errors weren’t major and it was generally usable. However, compared to the map Lin Moyu now possessed, it was vastly inferior, far too different. The ancient battlefield’s range was far larger than what the Golden Lion clan said. From the outside, it occupied 3 million li, divided into four unequal areas. But inside, it was much more than that. Just the area clearly explored by the skeleton generals already exceeded 2 million li. And this was only part of the mid-level area. No one knew how large the mid-level area actually was. After exploring such a vast area, the skeleton generals finally found a path that might lead to the high-level area. In the Golden Lion clan’s materials, it only recorded that there were corresponding passages between different areas for travel. But specific information about the passages was very scarce. It only said the passages were dangerous and not easy to pass through. Lin Moyu had already experienced this. The previous Blue Stone Bridge wasn’t easy to cross. Those lacking strength couldn’t complete the task and would die directly during it. "Now I’m a thousand-man commander, but the task range still doesn’t involve the high-level area." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶 "Going to the high-level area now would actually hinder military rank advancement." Lin Moyu didn’t immediately head to the high-level area. The priority now wasn’t entering the high-level area, but raising his military rank. With each rank increase, available tasks would increase and the range would expand. When the task range involved the high-level area would be when he entered it. Crossing 200,000 li, Lin Moyu arrived at the new task point. He didn’t know what this task would be, but he could be certain the difficulty seemed to be constantly increasing. Descending from the sky, there was a secret realm vortex right at the task point. Lin Moyu observed the surroundings but found nothing. Within a hundred meters radius, there wasn’t even an ancient tree. Everything was clear at a glance. And the secret realm vortex was right in the center of the task point, so there was a 90% chance this task was related to the secret realm before him. "This time, do I not need to find other trigger conditions?" Lin Moyu touched the secret realm vortex with his soul power, feeling somewhat puzzled. The secret realm vortex immediately began rotating rapidly, emitting a faint light. At the same time, a message came from the secret realm vortex. [Join the Divine Rune Ninth Army, complete corresponding military orders. Completing orders earns rewards, failure receives military punishment.] The task information was very simple, simpler than before. But the simpler the task information, often the higher the difficulty. This task would also have punishment for failure. Seeing there was punishment, Lin Moyu couldn’t help but smile. Often tasks with punishments also had better rewards. Everything corresponded. Lin Moyu didn’t dislike punishment because he was confident he wouldn’t fail. The existence of punishment rules would only bring him more rewards. With a movement of soul power, Lin Moyu entered the secret realm. The sound of howling wind reached his ears, seeming to carry an endless killing aura. This aura from an army was very familiar to Lin Moyu, even bringing a hint of nostalgia. He was now standing in mid-air. Below him was a group of soldiers training. These soldiers were all fourth-level Dao Venerable powerhouses. Their training methods were naturally different from ordinary armies. They directly engaged in actual combat for training, forming battle arrays on both sides and attacking each other. Terrifying aftershocks spread outward in waves, blocked by nearby formations. There were many such training squads, densely packed, extending endlessly into the distance. Just looking at the numbers, this army exceeded 100,000, a considerable scale. But Lin Moyu was long accustomed to armies numbering in the billions. A mere 100,000 strong army wasn’t much to look at. Seeing the large-scale army, Lin Moyu’s heart was extremely calm, without ripples. What truly made Lin Moyu feel strange was that the army was training and fighting, yet the entire process didn’t make a sound. These prehistoric soldiers, revived through battle intent and obsessions, repeated their past battles endlessly. At the same time, the rules here also deprived them of the ability to make sound. Not only could they not speak, even the clash of weapons made no sound. Because of this, the entire scene gave a sense of unreality. If not for this, many people might not be able to tell if what they were seeing was real or fake. Lin Moyu descended from the air, walking along a small path laid in the military camp towards the front. In the direction he was heading was a military tent, clearly where the army officers were. There was more than one such tent in the entire Ninth Army. Lin Moyu had already seen several from mid-air. Especially one of them was particularly grand and huge, obviously where the army commander was. Lin Moyu didn’t go to find the army commander. He was just a thousand-man commander; what qualification did he have to see the army commander? Even if he had the qualifications, he should go step by step. Moreover, in the army, military discipline was strict. As a soldier, he naturally had to strictly obey. As Lin Moyu approached the military tent, armor naturally appeared on his body. The armor glowed faintly, resonating with the armor of the soldiers training and fighting on both sides. Resonance was a feature of the armor. Powerful strength could be obtained from resonance, further enhancing the armor’s effect. Lin Moyu was very curious about the armor’s forging method. This type of standard magical equipment used in the army was truly first-class. Now the armor was continuously receiving powerful strength transmitted from other soldiers. This meant that in battle, as long as the armor wasn’t damaged, one’s army would constantly provide power for the armor. Not only could the officer’s combat power be enhanced, but endurance could also be greatly increased. Several minutes later, Lin Moyu walked to the front of the military tent and then lifted the curtain to enter. A person wearing an officer’s uniform was sitting in the main seat. Lin Moyu saluted him. The other couldn’t speak, and Lin Moyu also didn’t need to say much. All words were in actions. The officer in the main seat waved his hand, and a piece of paper flew directly towards Lin Moyu. On the paper was drawn an army, clearly the Bloody Legion. The person who drew this was very skillful, drawing it vividly. The drawn Blood Rat Legion was in the center of the entire paper. On the other end of the paper was drawn a Divine Rune Army, with an arrow pointing towards the rear of the Bloody Legion. "This is asking me to lead people to ambush the rear of the Bloody Legion, cutting off their retreat route." Lin Moyu immediately understood what his task was. On this paper, besides this diagram, there were also some terrain maps with various markings. Through the terrain maps, Lin Moyu could be guided in direction and route, avoiding getting lost. From this, it could be seen that this secret realm was not small in scale. Lin Moyu’s face showed contemplation, "Is just cutting off the retreat route enough?" "If it’s only this, there probably won’t be extra rewards." "How can I get extra rewards for this task!" At this time, the officer waved his hand, indicating Lin Moyu could leave. Lin Moyu saluted again. Before leaving, he noticed the officer’s collar was engraved with his military rank. Ninth-grade general!
