Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible

Chapter 181 - 181 The Greatest Contributor of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty

181 The Greatest Contributor of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty

Heavenly Saint Dynasty, Northern Border.

Lin Ran rode on his sword with the empress and finally arrived at dawn.

At the northest part of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty, although it was not considered cold, it was quite desolate.

The morning sunlight coated the ground with a cold golden light, and a tall, long and majestic city wall lay on the ground like an earth-colored dragon.

In order to prevent the enemy from approaching stealthily, within a radius of nearly ten miles north of the city wall, all the vegetation and hills were uprooted, and all the gullies were filled.

!!

The sandy soil flowed on the ground like a solid flood. When Lin Ran saw this scene in the air, he couldn’t help but recall the spectacular scene in the secret ground of the Hundred Fragrance Palace.

To the north of the city wall, there were more than ten medium-sized castles. They seemed to be scattered randomly, but Lin Ran realized at a glance that the distance between each castle was basically the same.

All the castles formed an irregular circle with a green oasis in the middle. Against the earthen castle, it was as eye-catching as a high-quality emerald.

“This is the Heavenly Saint Dynasty’s military city.”

Seeing that Lin Ran was sizing up the military city on the ground, the empress took the initiative to explain, “When there was no war, these soldiers were the residents of the city. They are self-sufficient through farming in that oasis.”

“But once the war starts, they will immediately put on their armor and rush to the battlefield… These border soldiers contributed greatly to the peace of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty!”

“If they hear this, they’ll be overjoyed.”

As Lin Ran spoke, he controlled the Yin-Yang Sword to slowly descend towards the city wall.

As soon as he got closer, he saw many ant-like black spots crawling up and down the city wall, as if they were repairing the city wall that had been destroyed by the war.

The soldiers on the city wall also noticed the two people in the air.

After a series of muffled shouts, almost everyone put down the tools in their hands and took out bows and arrows.

The martial artists of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty were good at using swords, but to these soldiers with low cultivation, bows and arrows were better at long-range attacks.

“It seems that they treat us as enemies.”

The empress chuckled. From the glint in her eyes, it was obvious that she was very satisfied with the quick reaction of these soldiers.

Lin Ran took a deep breath and shouted, “The emperor is here! Hurry up and kneel.”

As he spoke, Lin Ran slapped the empress’s back and instantly activated the Regal Technique, Sovereign Descent!

The “giving” in “Sovereign Descent” could allow Lin Ran to use his internal energy to temporarily increase the cultivation of others.

The empress felt the surging internal energy and instantly understood what Lin Ran meant. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and an emperor’s aura spread out!

This aura was not powerful, but it was like an invisible mountain that slowly pressed down on everyone, making them not dare to resist.

Everyone on the city wall immediately put down their weapons and knelt on the ground, shouting in unison, “Your Majesty, all the soldiers of the Northern Garrison are at your service.”

“Rise!” The empress gave the order.

Lin Ran landed on the city wall on his sword.

With a thought, he retracted his internal energy, and the aura of an emperor dissipated.

Putting away the Yin-Yang Sword, Lin Ran looked up and saw the soldiers covered in dust and injuries. He couldn’t help but be touched.

Tears welled up in the empress’s eyes. She opened her mouth a few times and finally said, “Thank you, everyone, for your hard work…”

When the soldiers heard this, they immediately knelt on the ground and replied in unison, “For His Majesty, I am willing to risk any danger.”

“Stand up.”

The empress raised her hand and gestured for them to stand up. After adjusting her mood, she asked seriously, “Where is General Guo Fuzhen?”

“Your Majesty!”

A soldier in light armor took half a step forward and said, “General Guo was injured the day before yesterday and is recuperating in Fort Liushi.”

Just as the empress was about to ask again, Lin Ran hurriedly went forward and whispered, “Let’s go find General Guo first.”

The empress nodded and said loudly to the soldiers, “Everyone, you’ve contributed greatly to protecting the border. The people of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty and I will not forget you! All the soldiers who participated in the battle will be heavily rewarded!”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

The soldiers knelt down again to thank her, their voices louder than before.

Seeing this, Lin Ran couldn’t help but laugh in his heart. It seemed that these soldiers preferred real rewards to the empress’s kind words.

The two of them walked down the city wall and arrived at Fort Liushi, which was the closest to the city wall. Then, they successfully found General Guo Fuzhen.

At this moment, General Guo Fuzhen was standing on the observation platform on the northside of Fort Liushi, wrapped in thick gauze.

Before Lin Ran and the empress could get close, Guo Fuzhen had already discovered them. Then, he jumped down from the observation platform and ran towards the two of them.

“Greetings, Your Majesty!”

Guo Fuzhen shouted in a low voice from afar. After saying that, he ran close and knelt on the ground.

The force of this kneel was so great that Lin Ran could vaguely feel the ground under his feet tremble.

“Peak of the ninth level of the Senior Martial Master Realm.”

Lin Ran instantly sensed Guo Fuzhen’s cultivation level and began to size up this famous general.

Lin Ran’s first impression of Guo Fuzhen was that he was burly, the kind that was imposing.

Guo Fuzhen knelt on the ground with his hands cupped and his head lowered. He was shirtless, and his muscular arms were almost as thick as Lin Ran’s thigh. On the edge of the palm-thick gauze on his chest, one could even vaguely see his thick chest hair.

Although he was seriously injured, Guo Fuzhen’s voice was still as deep as a bell. “I’m injured and can’t wear armor. Please forgive me for being rude!”

Lin Ran blocked his ears unconsciously. The empress hurriedly said, “General Guo, you’re being too serious. You’ve contributed greatly to guarding the border with the soldiers of the Northern Garrison. You were injured because of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty. You are a hero.”

As she spoke, the empress took a few steps forward and personally helped Guo Fuzhen up.

Looking at Guo Fuzhen, who was standing straight, Lin Ran widened his eyes.

This person was almost three meters tall. Even the tall empress looked like a little bird in front of him… No, it should be a little worm.

Lin Ran’s expression immediately became strange. He really couldn’t imagine how this burly man, who was like a silverback gorilla, could give birth to a daughter as petite and exquisite as Consort Rong.
