his eyes lit up with surprise."Haha, this woman from beyond the realm is even more noble than the Princess herself. Interesting. In that case, this prince can spare your life."Ling Yuan's face was ic..."Captain!"

Upon seeing Lu Xingling's arrival, all seventy-two members of the squad stood up.

Who would have thought that the captain of Squad 72, is actually a young and beautiful woman.

This Demon Tide is indeed formidable, so we must prepare thoroughly in advance to face it at our best.

Lu Xingling, although exceptionally beautiful, has become hardened due to her long years serving in the Border Army.

It is also what cultivated her heroic and elegant demeanor, lacking the delicate and feminine qualities of ordinary women.

Her voice was crisp and resolute.

"Understood."

The blind old monk and the one-armed monk, etc., replied.

But they all knew in their hearts that this trip might be a one-way journey.

And just then, a somewhat jarring voice suddenly rang out.

"Captain Lu, are you still here to inspire hearts Don't you want to face this cold reality"

"This time, the Demon Tide is unprecedented. Your Seventy-Two Squads may very well go without return, with the entire team wiped out."

As the sound drew nearer, several figures approached.

The man at the beginning, marked by

His aura was powerful, reaching the realm of a Divine Sovereign.

He was the deputy captain of the Ninth Squad, named Hougu.

"Does it concern you if we come back or not"

Looking at Hou Gu, Lu Xingling's pretty face was filled with indifference.

Hougu's gaze lingered on Lu Xingling, particularly on her petite waist and smooth, supple long legs.

Perhaps due to long-term training, Lu Xingling's figure is very compact and symmetrical, without any excess flesh.

"What a masterpiece..."

Hougu secretly praised in his heart.

Women cultivators were not numerous in the Zhenjie Army to begin with.

A woman as beautiful and graceful as Lu Xingling is truly rare to find.

Noticing Hou Gu's gaze, Lu Xingling's expression turned even colder.

Hougu chuckled and said, "It's nothing. I just think that a beauty like Captain Lu shouldn't die at the hands of a demon. It would be a waste."

"It has nothing to do with you. If there's nothing else, please leave. We still have to prepare for battle."

Lu Xing is very straightforward and doesn't beat around the bush. She also can't be bothered to play politics with Hou Guxu.

"Oh, come on, don't kid yourselves."

"To be blunt, your 72nd squad was always meant to be cannon fodder."

"This time, during the demonic tide, you're destined to be at the front, cannon fodder. Want to survive It's going to be tough."

Hou Gu shook his head and sighed, seemingly with a hint of regret.

Although the words were harsh, some members of Squad 72 present at the scene had grim expressions and could not find a rebuttal.

Because this is just the fact.

You know, in their heyday, this team was ranked among the top ten powerhouse teams.

The army numbered over 100,000 men.

But later, because some things happened.

This caused their team to be severely crippled and fall apart.

Now the members are less than ten thousand, and most of them are sick and injured, mostly elderly, weak, sick and disabled.

Ranking, once a top ten powerhouse team, is now a lowly seventy-second place squad.

What does that have to do with you Is it any of your concern

Lu Xing's eyes still held a coldness.

He was not swayed by Hou Gu's harsh words.

"Well, it's nothing. After all, your father and I knew each other once."

"Although he's gone, you're his daughter, and I should take care of you."

"Alright, if you are willing to pledge your allegiance to me, I will petition the higher-ups to incorporate your Seventy-Second Squad into my Ninth Squad."

This way, everyone on your team has a chance to survive. What do you say

Hougu said, a smile that was unsettling playing on his face.

Especially looking at Lu Xinglei's eyes, there was an undisguised heat.

"Dream on!"

Lu Xingling bit her lip, her eyes filled with deep disgust.

Bringing up her deceased father was a sore subject for her, a wound she didn't want to reopen.

And this Hou Gu, he was actually so vile, intentionally ripping open her scar to provoke and hurt her.

Looking at Lu Xingling's attitude, Hou Gu's smile on his face gradually subsided, and a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.

"Lu Xingling, I have shown you kindness on three occasions, but you have rejected me each time. You are being too stubborn!"

"If you don't leave, I'll call the enforcement team."

Lu Xingling said coldly.

In the Zhenjie Army, there was a strict rule prohibiting internal fighting.

If you make a move inside the Sanhuang Barrier, the consequences will be severe and the Enforcement Team will take action against you.

"Hmph, you don't know a good heart when you see one."

Hou Gu let out a cold snort.

Just as he was about to leave.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the distance, with a dense barrage of sonic booms.

And soldiers from the Zhenjiezhen were shouting as well.

"The prodigies who have come to train are here, and they will enter the teams that have been assigned to them!"

"Oh, you're here already"

Hou Gu smiled faintly.

Although these prodigies, to most teams, are more like a liability.

but ranked ninth in their squad.

Those who can be divided into their ranks should all be extraordinary figures with exceptional strength.

These prodigies are not vase fillers.

It can even be said to be a powerful boost!

"I wonder which immortal descendants and elite members of the Imperial Clan will join my Ninth Squad"

Hougu smiled.

And hearing this, many members of Team Seventy-Two sighed inwardly.

One person compared to another, it's infuriating. The gap between teams is also like heaven and earth.

The Ninth Squad is already an elite force. If more powerful prodigies join this time, it will be like adding wings to a tiger.

And what of their seventy-two divisions

Will any prodigy be willing to be a scapegoat and join them

Even if a prodigy joins, they'd probably just be like trash, weak as hell.

At this moment, in the void, a figure strode forward, powerful and majestic.

Shrouded in a veil of mist, it was unclear to see.

But it felt like a young god or demon was taking a step.

That kind of oppressive feeling made Lu Xingle feel a little suffocated.

"That is, the young king of the Xiahou Imperial Clan, Xiahou Shencang!"

"He is one of the five great Tianjiao kings, Zhong Sheng"

"Indeed, the aura is extraordinary. Worthy of being called a young king from the Imperial clan!"

Xiahou Shencang's arrival caused a stir in this area.

After all, Xiahou Shencang's name still carries quite a weight.

"Where is the 9th Squad"

Xiahou Shencang asked.

Hearing this, Hou Gu's face lit up with surprise as he exclaimed: "Young Master Xiahou, I am Deputy Captain Hou Gu of the Ninth Squad."

"Well then, I shall join your ranks and embark on this journey of training."

Xiahou Shencang said.

"With Xiahou's young master joining us, my Ninth Squad is practically invincible."

Hou Gu's face was lit up with joy, which he couldn't contain.

His eyes held a gleam of triumph and arrogance as he looked at Lu Xingling, with a hint of provocation.

"Captain Lu, how's it going I asked you to join us, but you refused. Now, do you regret it"

Hougu laughed heartily.

Just reject me!

Lu Xinglei clenched her fist.

She didn't regret it, and her mindset didn't collapse.

Because she had long known that it was impossible for any powerful prodigies to be assigned to her cannon fodder team.

Even if there are any, they're probably just small fries, nothing but a drag.

If there was no hope to begin with, then what disappointment is there to speak of

Lu Xingling's beautiful face bore determination, her brows slightly raised.

"I, Lu Xingling, would never regret anything."

"Our team, we rely on ourselves, not on heaven or earth!"

"If we die in battle, it is our fate, but also our glory, for we die for all beings of the World Sea!"

" *******, *******, I imagine that someone like you, who is so afraid of death, would never understand the meaning of this sentence!"

Lu Xingling's words were like thunder, shaking the entire military camp.

Many eyes were cast upon him.

"Lu Xingling, you..."

Feeling the weight of many eyes on him, Hou Gu's face flushed.

He also said that Lu Xingling's mentality would collapse, but his own mentality was about to collapse first.

And at that moment, a voice with a faint hint of approval suddenly came from afar.

"Well said."

When Hou Gu heard this, his anger flared even more, and he subconsciously rebuked.

“Who dares speak so recklessly!” woman would feel uncomfortable."Isn't it curious, divine child, why would Falling Snow risk so much just to meet you"Bailuoxue adjusted her mindset and said."It's just that he saw Di Haoyang's declin...
