Chapter 2446 A Military Assembly

Chapter 2446  A Military Assembly

Lin Mu flew out with Crown Prince Feng Shun and Commander Dui, heading to a place he had never gone before.

The trio flew unabated through the airspace of the capital city and reached a special district located nearly a hundred kilometers from the Grand Palace. The Capital City had still not ended at this point and went on for hundreds of kilometers more, showing just how massive it was.

The District they had come to was none other than one of the Eight Military Districts of the Capital City.

Access to these districts was limited and only those part of the military or in special administrative positions could go there.

In fact, Lin Mu could feel an array scanning him when he passed through the outer boundary of the Military District. If he didn't have the right identity, he wouldn't be able to get in at all.

'Theres a lot of offensive arrays set up too. If anyone tried to sneak in, they would simply get bombarded by the arrays.' Lin Mu realized.

But shortly after, he sensed another scan from an array.

"Huh? Again?" He was a bit surprised.

"The deeper you go the higher access you need," Crown Prince Feng Shun explained. "Some of the areas and buildings are also locked down to a few personnel." He added.

"I see… That's good for security." Lin Mu replied as he looked below. "Though this is certainly quite big… This alone can be a city on its own." He could see thousands of buildings spread in the area, with them being divided into various barracks, training grounds, offices and living quarters.

"This is the biggest Military District in the city." Crown Prince Feng Shun informed. "It also has the biggest army square. That's where we're heading." He added.

Lin Mu could quickly spot it, as the place was simply too catching.

The entire army square was paved with azure tiles that were bordered by a dark green border wall. In the center of the square, Lin Mu could see the Imperial Crest of the Dao Wind Empire, having been carved out with sword strokes!

"Sword Intent?" Lin Mu could feel a tinge of sword intent coming from the crest.

"You can sense it?" Crown Prince Feng Shun couldn't help but raise his brows.

"Faintly, but yes." Lin Mu nodded his head. "That's very impressive, Lord Lin Mu." Commander Dui praised. "Only those with an impeccable proficiency with the Sword can sense it." He added.

"It's like that?" Lin Mu hadn't expected it to have a deeper meaning.

"Of course. This square isn't just an assembly or training square. It also functions as the testing grounds of the soldiers, and if any soldier is able to sense the Sword Intent, they would get promoted." Commander Dui explained.

"The sword marks you see have been carved out by one of the former Generals of the Dao Wind Empire." Crown Prince Feng Shun revealed. "As such, it is also called as the Proving Sword Square." "That's interesting… to have one's Sword Intent last all this long. The General must have been incredibly talented in the Sword Dao." Lin Mu could at least tell that they should have been better than him.

"They were indeed." Commander Dui replied. "Only the generals who've reached the peak of their weapon proficiency are qualified to leave them. This is also why we have six military districts as each of them as a square such as this." He added.

"Oh? All of them have Sword Marks?" Lin Mu was rather shocked, as having just one or two was a big thing.

"Well, only two of them have Sword marks. Theres one with Axe marks, one with Spear Marks, one with Rod marks and one with Saber marks." Crown Prince Feng Shun elaborated. "Having a ground is considered an honor and it is the aim of many soldiers to be able to create one themselves." He added.

"The Dao Wind Empire has been fortunate enough to have six such individuals in the past." Commander Dui said proudly.

Lin Mu couldn't help but marvel at the deep background of the Dao Wind Empire before they finally landed in the square.

"So, what do we do here?" Lin Mu asked, as the square was empty.

"Just a minute." Crown Prince Feng Shun said as he looked at Commander Dui.

"ALL PERSONNEL TO THE PROVING SWORD SQUARE!" Commander Dui announced, his voice booming across the entire district.

It caused a chain reaction as the cacophony of footsteps could be heard, tens of thousands of soldiers hurrying to respond. Lin Mu watched as the soldiers quickly gathered in the square, standing in perfect lines.

He also noted that the lines were ordered according to ranks, with the lower ranked soldiers behind and higher ranked officers standing at the front.

They all stood at attention, with their gazes looking straight at the trio. All of them recognized the Crown Prince as well as Commander Dui, but there was one person whom they didn't know of. There was curiosity in their eyes, but they didn't question anything, having not been allowed to do so yet.

"All personnel pay your respects to the Imperial Imperator of the Dao Wind Empire! Lord Lin Mu!" Commander Dui announced.

Hearing that, they all finally understood who the handsome man standing next to the Crown Prince was.

"WE GREET LORD IMPERATOR!"

"WE GREET LORD IMPERATOR!"

"WE GREET LORD IMPERATOR!"

A thunderous greeting was blasted at Lin Mu, leaving him a bit bewildered. 'Commander Dui had told me to get used to it, but experiencing it is still quite something.' Lin Mu thought to himself, maintaining his composure as he should.

He scanned the bowing personnel and couldn't help but sense their cultivation bases. He wasn't the only one doing this either, as the personnel were also trying to assess Lin Mu's cultivation. But they simply failed, as they couldn't feel anything coming from him, making it almost seem like he was a mortal.
