The Brilliant Fighting Master

Fortunately, after the diving had stopped, the ship didn’t crash into the ground. Instead, it gradually became steadier.

The passengers suddenly found the clouds around them were gone. They felt like they had arrived in a totally new world.

The ship, after diving, was still high enough in the air to keep travelling down.

The sky was a mysterious red, as if it was dusk. Down below were grassless hills.

They were wondering whether only the place they could see was like this, or the whole world.

Something occurred to Jiang Chen. He spoke out loud without thinking.

“Is this the Alien Battlefield?!”

He had visited the Alien Battlefield 500 years ago. Everything he was seeing there seemed familiar to him.

“The Alien Battlefield where the demons are?”

“The remaining forces of the demons all over the Nine Realms were driven here!”

“What the hell are we going to do in this place?!”

All as young as Jiang Chen was, the other generals panicked. To them, such places would only appear in horror stories told to kids.

“You know a lot.”

The officer at the head of the ship looked towards Jiang Chen, giving him a mysterious smile.

“You’re right. This is indeed the Alien Battlefield, a landfill site outside of the Nine Realms. None of the big shots of the Three Middle Realms and the Three Upper Realms wanted it on their land, so they left it in the Three Lower Realms.” The officer confirmed their assumptions. He continued to explain, “But to their surprise, the Alien Battlefield also has valuable strategic resources. Now, it’s one of the main battlefields.

“The camp of the Third Legion is located here.”

The officer said everything like it was simply a matter of fact. However, it made the soldiers suspicious instead.

But with the thought that they were generals instead of average soldiers, they relaxed.

Soon, the airship arrived at a plain next to a mountain, and Jiang Chen got a glimpse of the camp of the Third Legion.

He had thought the camp would be full of tents, but he found he had thought wrong.

Forty giant warships were orderly arranged and connected to one another. All of their docks were open, which made them look like a wide expanse of flat land, even flatter than the plains.

The ships were connected by bridges. Numerous smaller ships travelled back and forth between them.

Jiang Chen didn’t know how to describe the scene. A city of ships? Or a city on ships? Neither was precise enough.

In the end, he decided to just keep calling it camp.

When they had landed on one of the warships, they felt like they were in a giant city. At the thought of the number of the warships, they were shocked.

“Follow me,” the officer told Jiang Chen and others, then he led them to the bow of the ship.

The soldiers passing by gave them curious looks.

When the officer had stopped and pointed at the place where they were supposed to stand, Jiang Chen found there were other people.

They were also newly recruited young generals, just like them. There were 40 of them. Then Jiang Chen recalled that the other eight forces had five places each, and he suddenly realized what was happening.

They were the odd ones there, since they only had four people.

“What’s wrong? The Iron Dragon Army couldn’t even finish something as simple as recruitment?”

Jiang Chen and the other three were about to join the other youngsters when a harsh voice came from their backs.

They turned around and saw a youngster in armor walking over arrogantly.

Anyone would notice that his armor was different from the other soldiers. It was gold and silver, extremely dazzling.

Although it was pretty, people couldn’t help but think that maybe it was just for show. After all, if someone went onto the battlefield in this armor, they would definitely be the most obvious target.

Beside the youngster stood quite a few guys in similar situations, with arrogant looks and in pretty armor.

Standing there, they sized up the 44 young generals, including Jiang Chen, with interest.

“So, these are the talented people from the Realm of Milky? Looks like we’re losing the tradition of putting quality before quantity.”

“They all look so weak. How funny.”

“They want to make achievements in war and become military officers of the Flying Dragon Dynasty?”

Their wanton comments sounded pretty harsh. However, except for the four new arrivals, the others seemed to have become used to them.

“They’re from aristocratic families of the Flying Dragon Dynasty. Don’t act on impulse.” The four even heard such a piece of advice.

More accidentally came to the soldier’s ears, too. The youngster who had scorned the Iron Dragon Army said complacently, “Yeah. You’d better behave yourselves.”

Just then, another group of people walked over. They all looked majestic, resolute and sharp-eyed.

As soon as they came, the other soldiers, including the arrogant ones, all greeted them with respect.

“The Third Legion is composed of the upper troop, the middle troop, and the lower troop. Each troop has eight battalions. All 44 of you will join the eight battalions of the lower troop,” a majestic general said in a high voice, without mincing any words.

“Iron Soldier Battalion, Red Flame Battalion, Fierce Tiger Battalion, North Mansion Battalion, Flying Mount Battalion, East Cloud Battalion, Fighting Demon Battalion, and Holy Arrow Battalion.

“Fall out!”

Instantly, eight battalion commanders stepped forward to come up to Jiang Chen and the others.

Eight sharp looks glanced at these 44 people.

“You’ll be their lieutenants, giving them different responsibilities according to their achievements.

“Now, pick your men.”

As soon as the general finished speaking, the eight battalion commanders told them about their test requirements.

The commander of the Fierce Tiger Battalion required them to attack his lower parts with all-out effort. Whoever made him retreat the most could join his battalion.

The Holy Arrow Battalion was more direct. The generals just needed to hit a certain target with a bow.

It was puzzling that the commander of the Red Flame Battalion was just standing there, not mentioning any requirements.

Jiang Chen noticed this, as did the others.

Perceiving their curiosity, someone from the eight battalions said, “The Red Flame Battalion had a desperate battle not long ago. They’ve suffered great losses. People are all they need now, so no test is needed to join them.”

That being said, no one wanted to join.

Since the Red Flame Battalion was short of hands, of course they wouldn’t have many chances to show their capability. Although their command was the only female commander, no one wanted to join them.

That was right. The commander of the Red Flame Battalion was a woman of around 25 or 26 years old, tall and slim. Even the armor didn’t make her look clumsy. And she was pretty, which wasn’t very common in the army.

Soon, someone finally chose to join the Red Flame Battalion.

It was Jiang Chen.

He didn’t make his decision because of the female commander, but because he had noticed this commander’s look.

It was resolute and fearless. Despite being a woman, she was standing up as straight as a javelin.

“You want to join the Red Flame Battalion?” she asked, looking at Jiang Chen. She was obviously puzzled.

“Yep.”

“Try your best to grip this for one minute,” the commander told him, throwing a stone at him and leaving him no room for doubt.

Although she hadn’t asked anyone to join her battalion, she wouldn’t skip the test when someone wanted to join. After seeing this, Jiang Chen was more certain that he had made the right decision.

However, it was ridiculous in some people’s eyes.

“Haha, how embarrassing,” said the youngster in gold and silver loudly.

“Are you from the Direct Battalion?” Jiang Chen asked the guy. This time, he didn’t choose to keep silent.
