Chapter 132: Special Army: Black Armor and Silver Suit

In the Temple of Providence of the Twin Dragon Mount, the yellow light of the power of providence shone brightly after the settlement upgraded to Extraordinary Rank-4.

Inside, two lines of objects were lined neatly along either side of the wall.

On the left were ten sets of almost identical Black Mountain Armors that were of almost the same size apart from minute differences. The offerings were covered with marks of the war.

On the right side were ten pieces of the Silver Liquid in the shape of balls, which were also offerings.

Apart from that, two rows of Souls of Civilization with bright white light were also suspended in mid-air along both sides.

But the light on the left was dimmer above the Black Mountain Armor than those on the right that was above the Silver Liquid.

All 10 Extraordinary Rank-0 and 10 Extraordinary Rank-1 Souls of Civilization came from the Metal Men!

The neatly placed offerings and the whole numbers were very satisfying for people with some sort of OCD, and Ji Ye had arranged them in that way for a reason.

Over ten settlement soldiers died in the battle against the Metal Men, which made him feel that he had neglected the enhancement of the soldiers.

Although the heroes of the Twin Dragon Mount were all outstanding men, they couldn’t fight every single battle themselves. Stronger soldiers could relieve them of some of their pressure so that they would have time to cultivate.

Moreover, the Rank-5 golden octopus compiled by the Metal Men had shone some light on him as well.

Men could use similar means, and the simplest way to achieve that was through combat formations.

Back in the Battlefield of Providence, 30 Black Mountain soldiers that had been weakened to Extraordinary Rank-6 had formed a battle formation that couldn’t be broken down by him, Lu Zhishen, Fatty Zhu, and Katarina, among whom three had Golden Cards and one had a Silver Card. That was how much potential a battle formation had!

“It’s starting!”

“This is the first time we ever have so many Extraordinary offerings!”

“Our settlement will get stronger again. We’ll definitely wipe out the Eagle Men, won’t we?”

“Theoretically, we’ve annihilated four-and-a-half-alien races, whereas the Eagle Men have annihilated three and a half at most… We definitely have more advantage in the resources and the number. I think we have at least a 70% chance to win!”

To most of the people of the Twin Dragon Mount, although no hero was coming this time, it was still the very first time that they would see as many as 20 Extraordinary members to be invited all at once!

Therefore, the number of onlookers outside the Temple of Providence wasn’t any less than that of a hero’s arrival. Everyone looked excited and confident, because the settlement was getting stronger, and they were very close to the end of the Ten-Species Competition.

Hum!

The bright yellow power of providence floated, forming the twin providence dragons that were over a meter long. They exhaled the power of providence to the Black Mountain Armor on the left first.

Although the Black Mountain Armors were only Extraordinary Rank-0, when 10 sets were put together, they created a small scale “battlefield”.

Ten Black Mountain soldiers that belonged to the Human race of another dimension sat silently on the back of peculiar beasts and formed a formation. They reminded one of the sharp black sabers, and as the others yelled and shouted, they charted at the 10 blurry-faced Liang Shan cavalry soldiers that were transformed from the Souls of Civilization.

Rumble…

The battle ended after the ten Black Mountain Armor soldiers used up their energy in the strike and turned into black ash.

However, the ten elite Liang Shan cavalry soldiers that were going to be summoned only had six left.

As many as four were killed in the attack, which meant that the summoning of them had failed.

They were lost in a challenge against soldiers of the same level not because they lacked capability, but as the experienced guards of Black Mountain, their real capability was above Extraordinary Rank-5, not to mention their ample experience of war. Even if they only had one chance to make the attack, they were still able to kill nearly half of the summoned soldiers.

However, it also made the remaining six summoned soldiers the real elite soldiers. They weren’t any weaker than the Black Mountain soldiers and had shown great potential!

Moreover, such a battle wouldn’t result in the disappearance of either the offerings or the Soul of Civilization. It only cost a proportion of the settlement’s power of providence, and it would be a while before they could use them for the next sacrificial ritual.

However, after rising to Rank-4, the Twin Dragon Mount had more power of providence than it could waste, and they would definitely be able to cover the expense!

“Master, please name them!”

Yang Zhi was also wearing a set of black armor, and the blue birthmark on his face seemed to be glowing when he saw the six summoned Extraordinary soldiers in their respective set of black armor, which gave them an elite-like air.

According to Ji Ye, these newly-arrived Extraordinary black-armored soldiers were all going to be under his command.

“They’ll be the ‘Black Armor Soldiers!”

Ji Ye didn’t use a name such as “Black Mountain Soldiers” because they were from a different dimension after all. However, he wasn’t good at giving names, so he also skipped fancy ones like “North Tortoise”, “Kylin”, or “Invincible Might”.

However, these Black Armor Soldiers would definitely become a trump card for the Twin Dragon Mount.

The Black Mountain soldiers in the Battlefield of Providence back then didn’t reach Ordinary Rank-6 themselves, but the Souls of Civilization of these offerings were all Extraordinary Rank-0 and would be led by Yang Zhi, the Blue Faced Beast, who had reached Extraordinary Rank-5!

It was safe to say that once they were put into the battlefield, the Black Armor Soldiers would become sharp blades that could cut through anything.

However, strictly speaking, this first “special force” should have been “Black Armor Wolf Riders”, if everything had gone as Ji Ye had planned.

“Awoo!”

Outside the Temple of Providence, the “husky”, who had grown even bigger, was trying to stick its head inside.

Behind it, a few wolf cubs about 30 cm long were imitating it and wagging their tails.

Of course they weren’t its cubs; they were young Steelback Blue Wolves!

Back then, the Alpha Steelback Blue Wolves was indeed very clever. Before the battle started, it had secretly sent some of the cubs away.

That was why they only ran into full-grown Steelback Blue Wolves outside their den.

Ji Ye only learned it later when the Alpha Wolf was subdued by the Alpha Wolf’s Mark.

Therefore, the Steelback Blue Wolf pack actually still existed, and there were nearly twenty of them. The Twin Dragon Mount had been feeding them with the Red Pip juice, Stone Milk, and other resources such as Forest Monster liquor, making them grow incredibly fast.

By now, some of them had reached Extraordinary Rank-4, and they were almost ready to be trained as mounts.

What was worth mentioning was that all the remaining adult wolves were female, so with some intervention, “husky” became the new head of the Steelback Blue Wolf pack and had been treated as the alpha!

Hum!

After summoning the 10 Black Armor Soldiers, the power of providence was still ample in the Twin Dragon Mount, so Ji Ye didn’t wait for the next round.

Right away, he let the twin providence dragons activate the Silver Liquid on the right. Metal Men of various shapes that all glowed in blue appeared in the golden light.

Unlike the challenge of the Black Mountain Armor, the Silver Liquid, which was of a higher level, passed the challenge more easily.

The Black Mountain Armor came from a Human race of an alien dimension, and the twin dragons of the Twin Dragon Mount didn’t use extra power of providence to suppress it.

However, they used more power of providence with the Silver Liquid, suppressing its resistance to the lowest level possible.

Therefore, the test generated was very simple. As long as they could withstand the blue electric current on the Metal Men and lift them up to a certain height, they would pass. To put it in simpler words, it was a test of pure strength and endurance!

All the summoned soldiers seemed to understand that. They were all tall, stalwart men with bulging muscles on their arms.

With the assistance of the inner strength of Extraordinary Rank-1, as many as 9 of them passed the test, with only one who failed.

Hum!

Because the human body couldn’t fuse the liquid metal “blood” directly, all the summoned soldiers transformed it into a combat suit in the end.

Silver light shone on them. Together with their tall and strong built, they didn’t look any less impressive than the Black Armor Soldiers.

The ability they possessed was similar to that of Tang Long. With the help of the Silver Liquid, they could, to some extent, transform metals.

They could destroy the enemy’s weapons with their bare hands, as well as temporarily fusing a lot of metals to form the armors. Apart from that, after they activated the electromagnetic power, they could throw heavy metals for a very long distance!

“I’ll name them ‘Silver Suit Guard’. Chief Lu, they’ll train their battle formation skills with you,” Ji Ye said.

The Black Armor Soldiers were the cavalry in his plan, and the Silver Suit Guards were obviously infantries.

The Twin Dragon Mount had infantry leaders that were ranked at the top two among Liang Shan heroes. With the Silver Suit Guards’ physical strength and stalwart bodies, Lu Zhishen was doubtlessly a more suitable leader and trainer for them. Once they had found the right battle strategy, this army would definitely do great things on the battlefield as well!
