"In the first year of the Calamity Era, on the sixteenth day of the ninth month of summer, I camped in an unnamed Ruined City on the former lands of the Great Wei Dynasty. I saw a great star fall in the north, and the Heaven-Killing Star shine in the northwest. I sighed deeply and said: Great upheaval is coming. Why has it come to this?"
"I also saw troops and beacon smoke converging in the southwest, presaging slaughter. I sighed and said: This place is most inauspicious. Why must the common people suffer so innocently?"
The sky was just beginning to brighten. Zhang Yang was dozing with his eyes half-closed when two messages suddenly appeared. The Village Building Order had once again read the Complete Records of Great Chu and the Records of Great Chu Territories on his behalf.
"What do you mean, 'why has it come to this'? Your sister!"
Zhang Yang grumbled, then looked at the twenty tall and imposing Zhang Clan Heavy Armored Demon Soldiers standing in the cave behind him.
These Heavy Armored Demon Soldiers were only about one-third as strong as the genuine version, but they were still far more powerful than the demons he had created before. Besides, their proficiency could be increased.
With twenty Heavy Armored Demon Soldiers, his proficiency in Demonic Language Secret Art: Heavy Armor had risen to 120/200.
"A new day has come. Time to grind monsters and level up again."
Zhang Yang made fun of himself, in excellent spirits.
"Mm, wait."
He suddenly stopped and thought back over those two reading impressions from earlier. He kept feeling that there was a deeper meaning to them.
He opened the large map in the Village Building Order and first marked Zhongdu Commandery. Sure enough, it was in the northwest.
