Martial Arts: I Have Diligence Reward System

Chapter 202: Chapter 121: The Storm Arrives_2

Since the Governor of Seven Provinces has not arrived, Mu Jingliang temporarily takes the place of the Governor, which some officials and grandmasters found dissatisfying.

However, at this moment, what reason do they have to be dissatisfied?

A dignified general, sacrificing without hesitation, who could not be in awe?

Li Xingpei’s eyes were red.

She understood in her heart that Mu Jingliang was merely a reflection of the Military Department. For so many years, the Divine Land’s prosperity and strength, the constant light in ten thousand homes, were all protected by these people with their lives.

All the pain, life and death, farewells... all weighed on these people’s shoulders, without even a moment to breathe.

The martial artists of the Military Department are stationed year-round in the cold mire of the Wetland, even facing sacrifice, just so that when winter comes, the people in the south of the Divine Land can stay under their blankets, making jokes on the internet, mocking the north for having heating.

They leave their corpses in the Wetland, so that the crematoriums of hospitals across the Divine Land need to send in fewer bodies.

From General Mu Jingliang to low-grade officers who have just sealed their ranks, even those engineers still desperately striving to seal their ranks.

They have long been accustomed to the Wetland.

And they have never feared the Wetland!

”Afraid of what Ning Beast, at worst, I’ll exchange for three more.”

A governor slammed the table, speaking through gritted teeth.

”That’s right, they can bring a total of over 40 grandmaster-level beasts, so we’ll exchange for 20 of them. I don’t believe Ning Beast is here to wipe us out today!”

Another governor also glared angrily!

”Our Divine Land’s advantage is unity and fearlessness in the face of sacrifice.

”While the aliens harbor their own intentions, they can never be a united front. If we can seize their weaknesses, we can shatter them.

”Do not be reckless on the battlefield; I advise everyone to stay calm, but when the time comes for me, Jiang Fuyan, to sacrifice, I will not flinch!

”For thousands of generations, the Divine Land has never lacked those willing to sacrifice...”

Jiang Fuyan also stood coldly.

”The Miracle Corps thanks all the governors, and the five hundred and seventy million people of the North District and the seven provinces thank all the governors!”

Mu Jingliang cupped his fists in salute!

”The Divine Land is the home of the Military Department and the Governor’s Mansion; defending the country, there’s no need for thanks.”

Jiang Fuyan and the others returned the gesture.

With everything arranged, the meeting adjourns!

This is also the final united front meeting before the war begins.

...

”It seems this battle will be very brutal.

”I’ve been incredibly lucky lately—can I, after all, gain some benefits on the battlefield?”

Yang Lezhi, as a supporter of West Martial, was currently mingling within the army.

Being a Wuda student, he stayed in the rearguard, the most dangerous area, as usual, in the rearguard are those students and social martial artists.

Yang Lezhi originally had no need to come.

But having broken through to the Fourth-Grade, he was still seeking a fortunate encounter.

Such encounters are mysterious and wonderful, only through the Wetland can they be found.

Advancing to an intermediate martial artist isn’t easy!

”Lately I can’t reach Xu Baiyan; I still haven’t confessed, not knowing if this overwhelming luck is still effective!

”It should be, I’m convinced, I will marry Xu Baiyan, not even the Jade Emperor can stop me.

”Overwhelming luck, come crush me!”

Yang Lezhi clenched his fist fiercely.

Opportunity and crisis often go hand in hand, wealth is sought in peril, and the chance to break through to the Fourth-Grade also lies within this battle.

On top of the city wall!

Wang Lu Feng could see Wang Nanguo bustling at a distance.

Though he wasn’t part of the Military Department, as the Director of the Investigation and Arrest Bureau, he was right behind the first line of defense.

If the Military Department’s line was breached, the next to meet the enemy at close quarters would be Wang Nanguo and the others.

Liao Ping and Liao Ji were drenched in sweat.

They saw their mother, who, despite being a woman, as an officer had to charge at the frontline.

This time, they had written farewell letters to their brothers.

Farewells to loved ones is a sorrow no one wishes to endure, yet some must bear it with tears.

This is the sorrow of wartime!

Gong Ling gazed lost into the far distance!

It’s getting closer!

The dark clouds at the edge of the sky were drawing nearer.

That must be the allied forces of the aliens.

Gong Ling’s heart was beating faster.

She knew the war was about to begin... her palms trembled slightly, wishing even to shoot an arrow to channel all her suffering to the distance.

Alas, it was just a dream.

...

The command center was in the middle of the city wall.

Having arranged everything, Mu Jingliang stood alone on the wall, where he rarely found peace amidst the bustling activity!

”Dad, can we win this battle? I heard Ning Beast is going to join the fight!”

At this moment, a tall girl with a ponytail walked over.

Mu Cheng.

Mu Jingliang’s daughter.

Though Mu Jingliang was in his seventies, he had a daughter late in life, whom he cherished dearly.

Mu Cheng also lived up to expectations.

She was starting her third year, already a Fourth-Grade Martial Artist!

Vice President of West Martial Student Union.

Lieutenant of Yan Gui Corps.

Mu Cheng, wanting to escape her father’s shadow, specifically joined the Yan Gui Corps, her merits all earned by cutting through enemies in the Wetland.

”Even if Ning Beast comes, there’s nothing to fear; they’re just a bunch of cowardly beasts, unable to stir any waves.

”With your dad here, the North District battlefield can’t collapse; Divine Land’s nine Wet Ghost Towers haven’t been breached for decades, and the Miracle Corps is guarding the North District Wet Ghost Tower, so it’s impossible to break through!”

Mu Jingliang looked at his daughter.

At the same time, he silently cursed those generals, certain they leaked the information to his daughter, prompting Mu Cheng to persuade him.

The Ning Beast issue was originally strictly confidential within the Military Department!
