The Second Commander said in a deep voice.
Everyone was silent.
Everyone was thinking about the meaning of the Second Commander’s words.
Chu Feng took a deep breath.
He understood what the City of the Great Emperor was thinking.
It was very simple. It was to find a point of breakthrough.
It would gradually devour the enemy’s strength!
Accumulate enough spiritual substances to revive the Heavenly Tree King!
However, it was too difficult to do.
Without the support of a large army, they could only rely on their few people to infiltrate the enemy and launch a sneak attack… It was easier said than done!
Even if he could only call for backup temporarily, he had to ensure that it would not take more than two hours for the reinforcements to set off, fight, and return!
Actually, battles between experts were usually very fast and did not take long.
But the key was that traveling was too time-consuming!
They had to go back and forth in two hours. They probably wouldn’t even have time to travel to some places far away!
After all, some black-armored soldiers were only at the seventh or eighth turns. How fast could they be?
The River of the Netherworld ran through the entire Netherworld Region!
It was too big!
In other words, if they were to fall into danger, there was a high chance that reinforcements would not arrive!
Evidently, Chu Feng was not the only one who was worried.
Many people thought of this and began to hesitate.
Everyone was only here for benefits. They did not want to really lose their lives here!
The Second Commander clearly saw through everyone’s worries and said in a deep voice, “You can rest assured about the support. Our Great Emperor City has a treasure, the Exquisite World! It can accommodate living beings, like a true world!”
“Once you call for reinforcements, there will be a divine-grade commander carrying the Exquisite World and rushing over. With the speed of a divine-grade expert, there’s no need to worry about wasting too much time on the way.”
When everyone heard this, they felt slightly relieved.
At the very least, there was some safety guarantee.
On the other hand, Chu Feng raised his eyebrows.
It was not because of anything else, but the Exquisite World that the Second Commander had mentioned… A true world?
It seemed like his Silver Moon Bracelet was also a world of its own?
He had won this from the bet with Number One.
All along, Chu Feng had thought that this world that could accommodate living beings was very ordinary. After all, the bet he had made with Number One seemed to only be a few dozen drops of Star Domain Essence.
However, when he recalled carefully, he did not seem to have encountered anyone who carried a world with him.
And now, even someone of the Second Commander’s strength said that it was a treasure…
Chu Feng suspected that Number One had deliberately found a reason to throw the Silver Moon World to him.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to afford it back then!
There was a sigh.
It had to be said that along the way, everyone in the Blood Sea Space had given him too much help.
“Sigh… This is all a debt! I have to pay it back!”
Just as Chu Feng was sighing, the Second Commander spoke again.
“It’s not our wish to let you take the risk for the City of the Great Emperor. It’s just that the situation forced us…”
“Therefore, as compensation, the contribution points for the spiritual bodies you killed outside will be doubled!”
“In addition, when the mission ends, all the sergeants who return alive will be rewarded with 10,000 military merits! 20,000 for second-rank sergeants! 30,000 for first-rank sergeants! 50,000 for sergeant majors!”
“These are additional rewards. There’s no need for any battle results.”
The moment that was said, everyone exclaimed.
How generous!
Even if they worked hard in the outside world for their entire lives, they would not be able to obtain the value of 10,000 points!
Now, as long as they returned alive at the end of the mission, they would get it!
It was equivalent to giving it away for free!
To those sergeant majors, obtaining 50,000 military merits for nothing would surpass all the previous rewards!
This was much more than what everyone had gained from risking their lives twice previously!
Other than an anomaly like Chu Feng, no one would not be tempted.
Even though they knew that this was a lure! It was a method used by the Great Emperor City to prevent everyone from escaping!
Everyone was willing to take it.
Weren’t they here for cultivation resources?
As long as the benefits were great enough, they would take the risk!
At the right time, the Second Commander said calmly, “Of course, in order to be able to calculate military merits in real time and also to prevent everyone from killing each other… Later, a sub-body of the main control system will be implanted in your armor. It has the effect of monitoring!”
At this point, he could not help but glance at Chu Feng. His meaning was self-evident.
Chu Feng merely smiled faintly and did not respond.
A general outside the army would not accept military orders…
The Second Commander shook his head helplessly and continued.
“Lastly, let me remind everyone… You must act within your capabilities!”
“If possible, it’s best to set off during the day and return at night!”
“Otherwise, be careful not to be surrounded by the enemy!”
“Alright, now, Sergeant Chu Feng, Sergeant Huangpu Ming, Sergeant Yao Ling’er, and Sergeant Qiu Qianseng! The four of you, use your own teams as units. Rest for a moment and set off immediately!”
“Understood!”
The four of them immediately responded.
Then, the surrounding crowd began to disperse.
Chu Feng planned to return and tell this news to the crowd.
But at this moment, he was suddenly stopped by the Second Commander.
“Kid, stay for a while. I have something to tell you.”
Chu Feng raised an eyebrow.
What did this mean?
But before Chu Feng could think further, the Second Commander waved his hand and instantly left with Chu Feng.
When Chu Feng stood still again, he had already returned to his tent.
“What’s the matter? Why are you so mysterious?”
Chu Feng felt impatient.
He still had to prepare with the others in the team.
Time was tight!
However, before Chu Feng could complain, he received a solid slap from the Second Commander.
“Kid, you really don’t know how to appreciate kindness!”
“Hey! Take this and get lost! Don’t be an eyesore here all day!”
As the Second Commander spoke, he suddenly threw a golden ball into Chu Feng’s hand.
“Hmm? What do you mean? What is this?”
Chu Feng was extremely surprised.
But when he saw the treasure in his hand, he was suddenly stunned and could not help but exclaim, “Isn’t… isn’t this that three-stage divine-grade Explosion Yuheng?!”
“Why is it with you?”
“Is… Is this for me?!”
Chu Feng felt dizzy from the sudden surprise.
The Second Commander said angrily.
“Of course! If I don’t give it to you, who should I give it to!”
“I can’t get the golden armor. The main control system is too rigid. I can only exchange for this. Take it. It can be considered a means of self-defense!”
“Your trip will be extremely risky. It’s hard to say whether you’ll live or die. Although you can ask us for help, sometimes, once a crisis happens, help won’t come at all…”
“Although this divine-grade Yuheng can’t ensure your safety, at the very least, if you’re unlucky enough to encounter a divine-grade spiritual body, escaping shouldn’t be a problem.”
Listening to the Second Commander nagging, Chu Feng felt a trace of warmth in his heart.
Just as he was about to say something, the Second Commander said impatiently, “Alright, stop talking. I just think you’re too important to the City of the Great Emperor, so don’t flatter yourself, understand?!”
With that, he turned around and left.
When he reached the door, he stopped and snorted.
“Come back alive! Do you understand?!”
“Understood!”
Chu Feng immediately stood at attention and gave a standard military salute.
A rare bright and sincere smile appeared on his face…
