Judging from the team's appearance and the atmosphere between them, Yang Yu's first impression of them was quite good. As long as their strength was decent, joining their team was a good option.

In any case, it doesn't matter to Yang Yu which team he joins. Once he completes the Military Merits missions assigned by the army, he can act freely and choose to complete the missions assigned by the Virtual Universe Company.

"Leidian, Lancelot, just listen to me. Joining our Blood Saber Squad is the right choice. Our squad is definitely among the top three in the entire First Battlefield Barracks Base No. 001. With you joining, we'll be at full strength, and after a short rest, we can go out on missions."

"Immortal Xius, clad in Blood-colored Armor, spoke."

"Captain Xius, we don't know the specifics of the team yet," Yang Yu asked with a smile, not giving a direct answer.

Lancelot, standing to the side, seemed to regard Yang Yu as the leader.

Seeing this, Xius didn't hold back and said directly:

"I am Xius, the captain of the Blood Saber Squad, number 001-1995496. I specialize in the Fire Origin Law and Space Law. My current strength is at the peak of the High-ranking Army Lord, just a hair's breadth away from breaking through to the Marquis!"

As Xius spoke, he stretched out his right hand, palm open, and a ball of illusory flame suddenly appeared. Although he could not feel the temperature, the space itself was burned and trembled, as if it would explode completely in the next second.

Yang Yu took one look and realized that Xius's strength was indeed not weak. It was clear that he was only one step away from condensing Undying Body. He had reached a good level in terms of fire and Space Strangulation, and was estimated to be at the level of the 14th level of the Heavenly Bridge.

However, Yang Yu remained relatively calm; in his eyes, such strength was only considered decent.

Lancelot was shocked. He hadn't expected that such a powerful immortal would personally come out to invite new recruits. He was flattered and overwhelmed.

The other Blood Saber Squad members also showed pride upon seeing this. Their captain's strength was indeed well-known in this area, and most importantly, he was a righteous person.

Seeing that the demonstration went well, Xius continued:

"The man sitting next to me is our squad's vice-captain, Kahn. He comes from the 'Shui Ze' clan and specializes in the Water Origin Law and the Space Law. His strength is quite good among High-ranking Army Lord immortals, and he is especially skilled at Entrap Enemy with his domain."

"Leidian, Lancelot, hello." Kahn, handsome with silver scales between his brows and a height and build similar to Earthlings, stood up and said with a smile, "Our captain is a very nice person; you definitely won't regret choosing our team."

"Haha, next up is Freyzer, Peak World Lord from the renowned Blade Race. He also holds the authority of a World Lord War General and is a powerful Spirit Reader. When he unleashes his full power, he can rival an ordinary Immortal Spirit. He specializes in the Wind Origin Law and wields the 'God-Splitting Weapon' among the Controller Divine Weapon."

"Hello." The Blade Race man Freyzer Frazier was noticeably quiet; he stood up, nodded in acknowledgment, and then sat down.

Xius continued the introduction.

"Next is Nubis, who comes from an ordinary race, cultivates the Earth Origin Law, and is also a powerful Spirit Reader."

"The 'Luyi' of the Snake Woman clan is skilled in the Light Origin Law and is a powerful illusionist."

"Luo Sen of the Dragonfolk Race is skilled in the Wood Origin Law and the Space Law, and is also a powerful illusionist."

"Finally, there are the Cruz brothers. Both of them are proficient in the Gold Origin Law and are powerful Martial Artist."

After the introductions, Xius and the other members of the Blood Saber Squad looked at Yang Yu and his companion expectantly.

For World Lord has been recognized as World Lord War General as soon as they enter the Outer-Domain Battlefield, after further training, they will definitely be a great help to the team.

"Let's introduce ourselves," Yang Yu said with a smile. "I specialize in the Lightning Origin Law, I'm a Spirit Reader, and I wield the Thunder God Weapon."

Yang Yu said simply.

"I, Lancelot, specialize in the Earth Origin Law, and I am a Martial Artist," Lancelot continued.

"Great! With the two of you joining, our team is even better. Leidian, would you like to join our team?" Xius asked expectantly.

"It's an honor to join Captain Xius' Blood Saber Squad," Yang Yu said with a smile.

This team is indeed quite strong, with two Immortals, Spirit Reader, an Illusionist, and Martial Artist. Their teamwork in battle will be excellent.

"I, Lancelot, am willing to join as well!"

"Haha, great!" Xius laughed, standing up with his glass in hand. "Come on, let's all raise a glass to welcome our two new teammates!"

"Welcome!" Kahn and the others said with laughter.

Yang Yu and Lancelot also stood up and raised their glasses.

He downed a glass of wine.

Yang Yu and his companion were now officially members of the Blood Saber Squad.

After submitting their applications to the military system, Yang Yu and Lancelot officially joined this Elite Squad, numbered 001-1995496.

During the rest period that follows.

Yang Yu and Lancelot, the two new recruits, often listened to the guidance of the veterans. Although both of them had some backgrounds, they listened carefully.

While strength is undeniable, experience can be crucial in the cutthroat world of tribal warfare.

After all, the number of immortals and World Lord who die from arrogance on the Outer-Domain Battlefield is astronomical.

Sometimes, a careless mistake can lead to ruin.

This is also why Yang Yu plans to join an Elite Squad to gain combat experience.

After completing the tasks assigned by the military, I should have mastered these experiences.

During their conversations with the veterans, Yang Yu and Lancelot learned a great deal about the common knowledge of the Outer-Domain Battlefield and the roles they played in combat.

Their tactics were simple.

Captain Xius was responsible for the frontal assault and was the main source of firepower.

Vice-captain Kahn was responsible for overseeing the overall situation, assisting Xius, protecting the two illusionists in the team, and influencing the enemies.

Other Spirit Reader and Martial Artist assisted Xius in battle from the sidelines or acted according to circumstances.

Overall

The Blood Saber Squad's configuration is standard.

With the addition of the support-oriented Immortal Kahn, this squad maintains the initiative in both combat and retreat.

Even on the most dangerous First Battlefield, as long as the squad is cautious enough, they can earn decent Military Merits every time they go out.

Five days later.

After resting and briefly practicing together on the Virtual Universe Battle Platform, the Blood Saber Squad embarked on their first mission!

"There are so many people!"

"So many spaceships."

New recruit Lancelot stared in amazement at the scene before him.

This is a hall with a diameter of over 30,000 kilometers. If such a massive hall were filled with people, it would be enough to accommodate billions of space warriors.

"That must be millions of people."

Yes, definitely.

"There are thousands of spaceships lined up ahead of us."

Spaceships were parked in the hall in an orderly fashion. Some of these spaceships were thousands of meters in diameter, while others were only a hundred meters in diameter. The number of space warriors they carried also varied. Some spaceships could accommodate a million space warriors, while others could only accommodate a few powerful individuals.

"Don't just stand there, everyone get on the spaceship!" Captain Xius shouted, and at the same time quickly released a triangular spaceship with a diameter of three hundred meters and a blood-red body from the World Ring he was carrying.

A blood-red spaceship appeared out of thin air in the hall.

"Yes."

"They've arrived."

Xius was the first to board the spaceship, followed by Kahn, Yang Yu, Lancelot, Freyzer, and others.

"Everyone's here. Let's all come to the lounge. The spaceship is controlled by Smart Brain," Xius said with a smile.

This was said to Yang Yu and Lancelot; the other team members all tacitly headed towards the lounge as soon as they arrived.

After everyone sat down in the lounge, which was thirty meters in diameter and ten meters high.

Xius continued, "Leidian believe you and Lancelot have both noticed that my ship is a standard E9 Grade alloy ship."

"That's right, Captain Xius, as a powerful Immortal, getting a decent spaceship shouldn't be difficult for you," Lancelot said upon hearing this. He himself was using a high-quality spaceship made of E9 Grade alloy with some F-grade Metal.

"Haha, Lancelot, you don't understand," Vice Captain Kahn laughed. "After leaving the Barracks Base, we could encounter combat at any time, and our spaceships could be damaged. So even if we use a good spaceship, if we're unlucky, we might not even make back the cost of the spaceship in one mission."

"Even if we lose 1,000 of these cheap, standard E9 Grade alloy spaceships, the total value would still be less than 1 Hunyuan. Naturally, we'd use these spaceships for traveling. As for the Rest Cabin, that's where the boss really spent money to build them."

"This Rest Cabin is really nice. If I'm not mistaken, it should be made of F9-grade Metal Azure Flame Stone Mother," Yang Yu suddenly said.

Looking at the familiar material, Yang Yu was reminded of the standard F9-class spaceships in the Virtual Universe Company, which used materials such as Azure Flame Stone Mother.

However, its overall performance was inferior to the Thunderclap, which is why Yang Yu not buy it in the first place.

"Oh?" Xius and the others looked over in surprise. Those who could be recognized at a glance must have extraordinary backgrounds.

"Haha, yes, Leidian has quite the insight. This Rest Cabin is indeed made of Azure Flame Stone Mother." Xius laughed. "The entire spaceship is made of F9-grade Metal. It's certainly good, but the Hunyuan is astronomical. Only a King Level Immortal can afford that. I'm still far from that level. However, building a safe house to deal with emergencies is no problem."

"That's pretty good. At least we have some reaction time when we encounter a sudden attack," Yang Yu said with a smile.

"Haha, that's right."

Amidst the laughter and conversation, the crimson spaceship had already started up.

"External Scenery Virtualization!"

Xius gave the command to the spaceship's AI.

Drop!

Although Yang Yu and the others were sitting on the sofa, they could no longer see the sofa or the floor with their naked eyes. They could only see the vast hall outside and the spaceships lined up in a row.

As time went by, spaceships rapidly flew into the passageway.

Soon, the spaceship carrying Yang Yu and his group also flew into the passageway.

After flying along the passage for approximately hundreds of thousands of kilometers in a straight line, the spacecraft began to turn and fly along an arc-shaped passage.

All spacecraft fly along this curved passageway.

Just a moment!

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The gates along that straight passage, hundreds of thousands of kilometers long, slammed shut with a deafening roar.

At the same time, the outermost gates of the entire massive Barracks Base began to open. Of the tens of thousands of passages, only a few hundred gates were opened.

"Activate energy defense."

"Set off."

Captain Xius gave the order.

The spaceship that Yang Yu and his group were on instantly flew out from one of the passageways of the huge Barracks Base.

"Whoosh!"

They flew out of the massive Barracks Base into the Void in an instant, causing all ten members of the Realm World Lord Squad to turn their heads and look at the massive Barracks Base behind them.

Even veterans who had been out in battle many times couldn't help but turn back to look, and even Yang Yu, with his exceptionally high standards, was no exception, because...

That's spectacular!

"This is the Barracks Base," Yang Yu exclaimed, clearly seeing the enormous Barracks Base floating in the Void through the External Scenery Virtualization.

According to Yang Yu's visual estimation, the entire Barracks Base has a diameter of at least several million kilometers!

In other words, this is a war base larger than the sun!

At the same time, this massive war base is completely covered by a layer of colored energy shield. This energy shield covers the war base, which is millions of kilometers in diameter, and appears enormous to the naked eye.

How breathtaking it would be to see the sun up close!

Not to mention seeing such a gruesome war base up close.

"Colored energy shield", "mysterious and powerful solidification Law Secret Pattern", "mechanical cannon muzzles with diameters of hundreds of kilometers", "densely packed channel points", "countless energy points".

This is a perfect example of elevating the violent war machine to the level of 'art'!

"It's magnificent," Immortal Xius exclaimed.

"Look at that cannon muzzle, it seems outdated, but when it really unleashes its power, one shot wouldn't be enough to blast dozens of ordinary immortals. Without Undying Body, if you're hit, there's no chance of survival. Even the Void itself will be reduced to nothingness under the violent energy."

A hint of fanaticism flickered in Vice-Captain Kahn's eyes.

The new recruit, Lancelot, was completely stunned.

Even with his high standards, Yang Yu was still in awe when he first saw such a war machine.

"Divine Spirit Base? What kind of Divine Spirit Base is this?" Yang Yu asked curiously.

Although he could find out through his access permissions, Yang Yu wanted to ask directly.

"AAA Divine Spirit Base." Freyzer, Spirit Reader strength rivaled that of an ordinary immortal, spoke softly, his eyes glazed.

"The Outer-Domain Battlefield is a war between races. The entire First Battlefield only has One Hundred Barracks Bases, which are the main bases of humanity on the battlefield, and are of course the highest-level Divine Spirit Base. Even a powerful being like the Universe Country Lord would not be able to destroy AAA Divine Spirit Base."

Yang Yu nodded slightly upon hearing this.

He had previously used his access privileges to investigate some of the Machine Race's terrifying weapons. Some of the super-large weapons were very expensive, like the 'Star Fortress,' which was ridiculously expensive, but those were just some fortresses.

The 'Divine Spirit Base' is the ultimate super-large weapon, and each Divine Spirit Base is extremely expensive!

After all, it's a weapon at the Venerable level, its value comparable to some Heavy Treasure.

It's normal for it to be expensive.

The AAA Divine Spirit Base- Divine Spirit Base is the highest-level Divine Spirit Base.

Therefore, the Barracks Base is the safest place. Each barracks war base is AAA Divine Spirit Base. No matter how many powerful beings come, they can probably turn the vast starry sky around them into nothingness in an instant.

"The Barracks Base is a haven for space warriors." The snake woman in Luyi lay on the sofa, exuding an alluring charm, her dreamy green eyes captivating the eye.

"The Barracks Base is the safest place; you don't need to worry at all. But once you leave the Barracks Base, it's fraught with danger. After all, this Universe Secret Region, with a diameter of over a million light-years, is a battlefield."
