Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 561: Chapter 370: Support Assembly

The Strongest Royal Court, Huaguo Mountain, Eggshell Square.

At this very moment, the place was quite lively.

Xue Shentian, Master of the Blue Moon; Li Mingli, Master of the Red Moon; and Liu Chenglin, Master of the Silver Moon, all stood ramrod straight.

Clad in their Extraordinary Jerseys, they looked up with fiery gazes, watching the magnificent Mobile Storm Azure Dragon Flame Emperor and Mechanical Storm Demon Venerable slowly descend from the sky.

Riding the Mobile Storm Azure Dragon Flame Emperor and Mechanical Storm Demon Venerable were, of course, Jelena and Wang Bushi.

Today was the day the Royal Court was distributing aid to its affiliated territories.

This aid had been approved by the Eco-Castle and the Military Affairs Office after the three Affiliated Lords had been pleading for it for days.

A grand assembly area had already been set up on-site. Hundreds of secretaries from the Eco-Castle bustled about, while the Brocade Guard from the East and West Depots maintained order.

Xue Shentian, Li Mingli, and Liu Chenglin stood within the assembly area, heads held high and chests out, as if awaiting a medal ceremony.

They were filled with anticipation, eager to receive their supplies. Ye Qitian, who had yet to secure a territory for himself, had also rushed over to join the excitement. A large crowd had gathered to watch as well.

Jelena and Wang Bushi made their entrance. Following a brief opening ceremony, the aid conference officially began.

The conference was hosted by Li Huaizheng, the Dean of the Hundred Skills Academy. He now carried himself with a refined, scholarly air and was known for being steady and reliable. Though his combat power was low, he wielded real authority within the Royal Court, serving as Jelena’s right-hand man and possessing his own Eco Armor.

Li Huaizheng cleared his throat and announced, ”Though Hong Yue, Blue Moon, and Yin Yue hang high in the sky, they are territories of the Royal Court. They possess ecological environments identical to the Three Realms. After due deliberation, the Eco-Castle and the Military Affairs Office have approved the decision to provide aid to the three great affiliated territories of Hong Yue, Blue Moon, and Yin Yue today!”

”The first item of aid: The Awarding of Armor! Will the three Lords please come to the stage? You will each receive a set of Eco Armor, a product of the Flower and Fruit Ecosystem. This armor is not only a powerful piece of defensive equipment, but also a symbol of glory and status!”

Li Huaizheng then bowed to one side and announced, ”Let us welcome the Minister of Military Affairs, Lord Zhao Wukang, to present the Eco Armor to our three Lords!”

The crowd immediately erupted in thunderous applause.

Zhao Wukang walked onto the high platform with a smile. He had a plain appearance and wore a simple cloth robe, looking for all the world like an ordinary farmer without the slightest air of arrogance. Yet, he was now one of the titans of the Military Affairs Office, the Minister of Military Affairs himself, known by the title ”Military God.” ℯℯ𝑙.

Zhao Wukang was responsible for the ongoing war between the Strongest Royal Court and the Waga Royal Court, as well as all other external military affairs.

”Just as Dean Li said, Yin Yue, Blue Moon, Hong Yue, and any other small worlds from Beyond the Heavens that may appear in the future are the sacred territory of our Royal Court. I hope you three Lords will take this to heart and not disappoint the Great Lord’s expectations!”

With a kind and amiable expression, Zhao Wukang presented the Eco Armor to Xue Shentian, Li Mingli, and Liu Chenglin.

Xue Shentian and the other two were ecstatic, immediately donning their new Eco Armor.

They had long heard of the power of this Eco Armor. Once worn, it would bind with their territory’s ecosystem, making them virtually indestructible. It was far more powerful than their Extraordinary Jerseys.

The three immediately pledged their loyalty, talking about their future plans and thumping their chests resoundingly.

Zhao Wukang nodded with a smile and added, ”On behalf of the Military Affairs Office, I have a few more important decisions to announce to the three of you!”

”Please, tell us!”

”Lord Military God, if there’s anything, just say the word!”

”Indeed, we await your arrangements!”

Zhao Wukang said, ”Previously, the Great Lord stationed three thousand Celestial Eagle Warriors on Hong Yue, and he entrusted the Dou Shen Palace and the Saint Warriors to the Master of the Blue Moon. However, Yin Yue still has no military forces assigned to it. After consideration by the Military Affairs Office, we have decided to place the War God Camp and the War God Sparta under the command of the Master of the Silver Moon. What are your thoughts on this, Lord Liu?”

”Are you serious!”

Liu Chenglin leaped to his feet at those words.

’Could something this good really be happening?’

’I thought that since I’m not part of Wang Yi’s inner circle, I’d be pushed aside. I figured I wouldn’t get any military authority and would have to develop on my own. I never imagined the bigwigs at the Military Affairs Office would be so principled! They actually remembered me and are entrusting the War God Sparta to my command!’

’Those are Divine Soldiers with a level cap of 260! Just one of them, tossed out into the Fourth Dimension Starry Sky, could likely dominate an entire region—as long as it didn’t run into one of the powerful Royal Courts on the leaderboards!’

”Of course it’s true!” Zhao Wukang said. ”And that’s not all. In the future, you three Lords can come to Huaguo Mountain to recruit soldiers. Whether it’s Holy Fighting Gods, War God Spartas, Divine Wind Warriors, or Fist Emperor Taisens, as long as you can take them with you, the Military Affairs Office would be happy to see it happen!”

”Excellent!”

”How exciting!”

”So generous!”

Xue Shentian and the other two were overjoyed.

Zhao Wukang said no more. As the Minister of Military Affairs, he had previously discussed matters with the Great Lord, Wang Yi. According to Wang Yi’s vision, the Spirit Rhinoceros Warriors would become the Royal Court’s main combat force for external conflicts.

The forces under the Military Affairs Office’s command would henceforth be the Spirit Rhinoceros Warriors. As for units like the Heterodox Sword Immortals, Demon Gun Knights, and Celestial Sword Heirs, they could be absorbed into the military’s command structure as Grand Generals. Huaguo Mountain itself would only need to retain the Manzi Camp and the East and West Depots.

After Zhao Wukang stepped down from the high platform, Li Huaizheng resumed the conference. He announced, ”The Royal Court has a second form of aid: resources. Each of you three Lords will receive ten billion Gold Coins, one million Chaos Crystal Stones, one hundred thousand Chaos Eggs, and ten thousand Lord Experience Books! Due to the large quantity, you may proceed to the Chaos Warehouse later to collect your supplies from Lord Treasure Hunter King Pingyi!”

Upon hearing this, Xue Shentian and the other two were once again ecstatic!

”My god, ten billion Gold Coins! That’s instant financial freedom!”
