"Lord Han is out! Quick! We can make our move now!"
Around the Extreme Evil Imperial Palace, countless people dressed in commoners' clothes began to gather. Some looked like peddlers, some like farmers, and some like craftsmen.
But in a very short time, they transformed into well-trained small units.
Although these small units are not particularly strong individually, they have the advantage of sheer numbers, numbering nearly 70,000 to 80,000 scattered throughout.
Taking advantage of the chaos inside the palace, they stormed in from all directions and engaged in a fierce and bloody battle with the people of the Asura Imperial Court.
"Hmm? Chen Mu, what are these...?"
Inside the warship's main control room, Mingye was greatly surprised. As the intelligence chief of Iron Soul City, she had no idea that Chen Mu had such a group of people under his command.
"Hehe, these people were all won over by Han Xiao, Gao Fenghai, and a few others. I dare not take credit for it."
Chen Mu laughed and explained.
"Them? Where did they find so many people?"
"In the past few months, our robot army has been more than capable of guarding the border, so I had Han Xiao lead the Rushing Thunder Legion to suppress bandits in various places, which also served as a kind of training exercise."
Unexpectedly, Han Xiao's efforts to suppress bandits were largely unsuccessful, but his work on recruiting and granting amnesty to the enemy was very successful.
In less than three months, Han Xiao had recruited hundreds of thousands of bandits across various regions. This was after weeding out those with too little skill or poor character; otherwise, our bandit army would surely have exceeded one million.
Chen Mu smiled, his tone somewhat helpless.
"So many? Why would they accept your offer of amnesty?"
Mingye was completely baffled.
"That's easy. I just need to supply Han Xiao with enough compressed food; the rest is up to him."
Chen Mu waved his hand and said.
"Just because of compressed food?"
Mingye's red lips parted slightly, finding it unbelievable.
Compressed food, simply put, is conveniently portable dry rations. It was developed by Chen Mu after repeatedly improving the food synthesis machine and was supplied to his subordinates as military rations.
Compared to regular food, Chen Mu's compressed foods offer a variety of flavors, have a long shelf life, and provide comprehensive nutrition and high calories, making them practically perfect foods.
In the food-scarce Netherworld, Chen Mu's compressed food caused a great sensation in Iron Soul City and has now become one of the most popular perks among the soldiers of Iron Soul City.
Han Xiao said that the vast majority of those who turned to banditry over the past few decades did so because of food shortages and desperation.
"For my automated production plant, feeding millions of people isn't difficult. So when Han Xiao placed truckloads of compressed food in front of them, they all cried and shouted that they wanted to pledge their loyalty to us."
In the end, Chen Mu couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
"So that's how it is. The Netherworld has been plagued by war for years, and in the end, it's these ordinary people without any connections who suffer the most."
Perhaps it's because he's spent so much time with the Manju Sacred King, but Mingye has now begun to care about the well-being of the people.
Seeing Mingye, Chen Mu's smile faded, and he said seriously, "Where there are people, there will be conflict; this is beyond our control. The only thing we can do is strive to become stronger. Only by becoming stronger can we have the power to change this world."
"Okay, I understand."
Mingye nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, the battle below had gradually intensified. Mingye and Chen Mu stopped chatting, opened the hatch above them, and flew out, preparing to join the battle and finish things off.
The Asura Imperial Court's army had just fought a bloody battle with the defenders of the Extreme Evil Imperial Palace and was exhausted. Now, they were ambushed by Chen Mu's bandit army. The outcome of the battle was basically a foregone conclusion, and Chen Mu quickly gained the initiative on the battlefield.
"Who exactly are you? How dare you attack our Asura Clan! Aren't you afraid that my king will eradicate you all afterward?"
A tall, slender, and fierce-looking Asura Clan man led several hundred Asura Clan warriors, forming a sizable battle formation, and they were still putting up a stubborn resistance.
He didn't recognize Han Xiao, and since the fighting style of these bandits was very different from that of the regular Imperial Court army, he assumed that the attackers were a huge bandit gang or a bandit alliance.
" The Asura Clan will only be loyal to the Asura Sacred King; keeping them alive is just a scourge. Kill them all!"
When it came to decisiveness, Chen Mu never hesitated. Having chosen to become a soldier, he was prepared to die on the battlefield.
After these days of dedicated training at the Manju Imperial Palace, Chen Mu and Mingye have both greatly improved their strength. Although neither of them has officially entered the Saint Level, they are basically invincible below the Saint Level.
Now, all the experts above the Saint Level in the Asura Imperial Court have gone to pursue the Supreme Evil Sacred King. Apart from a few small battle formations that have barely taken shape, no one on the entire battlefield can withstand Chen Mu and Mingye.
The two of them, like wolves entering a tiger's den, unleashed a bloody massacre on the soldiers below.
"Go! Dharma Aspect True Body, Five Elements War Soldiers!"
Since arriving in the Netherworld, Chen Mu has basically not used these two group combat skills that he is most proficient in. It's not that he doesn't want to use them, but that his inner world is sealed, and he simply cannot use these two skills.
Now, he has reconnected with his inner world and his strength has increased again. His Dharma Aspect True Body and Five Elements War Soldiers have become even more terrifying.
Whoosh whoosh!
Because he has opened up 108 dantian within his body, plus the original dantian of his original body, he can now summon 109 Dharma Aspect True Body.
Each of these Dharma Aspect True Body is over ten meters tall and possesses strength at the Emperor Level or above. With them joining the battlefield, it's like a devastating blow, scattering large numbers of enemies in all directions.
Although there are still only ten Five Elements Five Elements War Soldiers, these warriors are formed by Chen Mu collecting various rare and precious materials. The higher the grade of the materials used in the formation, the stronger the warriors become.
The Spiritual Power materials in the Netherworld are of a higher grade, and they can also complement the material properties of the Pan Emperor Continent. This has elevated the quality of the Five Elements War Soldiers to the extreme, making them virtually indestructible by weapons below the Saint Level.
With ten Five Elements War Soldiers and one hundred and nine Dharma Aspect True Body, this force was no less than the Maha Legion under the command of the Manju Sacred King. Soon, the Asura of the Extreme Evil Imperial Palace could not withstand it, and countless people died or were injured.
"Leave that Asura Legion leader to me!"
Mingye had barely warmed up when he realized that Chen Mu had almost wiped out all the enemies, so he could only purse his lips and go after the fleeing leader of the Asura Legion.
The Asura had just occupied the Extreme Evil Imperial Palace for some time, and this leader of the Asura Legion, as the commander-in-chief of the army, was likely to have taken away the treasures of the Extreme Evil Imperial Palace. Therefore, no matter what, Mingye would not let him escape.
