Since arriving in Great Moon, Wei He had actually never truly witnessed the power of an army.
Great Moon differed from Great Yuan. This was a mighty empire centered on True Blood.
Those capable of commanding troops were without exception battlefield monsters with Copper Skin Iron Bones and boundless strength.
Compared with the Great Yuan of old, Wei He wanted even more to see just what level Great Moon's army had now reached.
This expedition to encircle and suppress True Beasts also gave him a chance to seek suitable hearts for practicing the Three Hearts Art.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
Three days later, outside White Elephant City.
By the Jade Orchid River.
On a relatively broad stretch of open ground beside the river.
Squad after squad of elite soldiers clad in pale silver armor stood holding enormous shields, combination spears slung across their backs.
Every one of these soldiers was powerfully built and sharp-eyed. Those towering shields, as tall as a person, seemed remarkably light in their hands.
Moreover, every helmet and suit of armor bore the flame pattern of the Burning Heaven Army Department.
Around two hundred soldiers had gathered here, yet there was scarcely any noise.
Everyone silently arranged their equipment, checked their condition, or placed healing medicine where it would be easiest to reach.
Not far away, Marshal Li Rong approached on horseback, accompanied by several army commanders, all clad in armor as well.
"Dismount," Li Rong said gravely.
When encircling a lord-class True Beast, no horse, regardless of its bloodline, would be of any use.
She immediately stepped forward and casually asked a few questions of one of the leaders among the soldiers.
Then all the soldiers formed ranks and raised their shields in unison toward Li Rong as a salute.
