Chapter 270: The Next Day
However, each legion had its own legion spirit, brought forth from their collective energy and discipline.
First were the Four Divine Beast Legions.
The Azure Dragon Legion.
Known for their unyielding strength, the Azure Dragon Legion, part of the Four Divine Beast Legion, is one of the first legions to be created.
This is because these four divine beasts used to be the legions stationed in the central continent\'s four directions, and the Azure Dragon legion is the northern legion.
This legion\'s cultivation focused on resilience and endurance, and each member was trained in powerful defense and relentless attacks. Their military soul, the Azure Dragon, was a massive serpent-like dragon that symbolized the legion\'s strength and fortitude.
Led by General Bai Long, the legion commander of the Azure Dragon, the Legion spent its time in intense cultivation, focusing on perfecting its connection to the dragon so that it could show its true potential.
Their synchronization drills, aimed at enhancing unity, involved powerful qi exercises that resonated through each soldier, ensuring that the Azure Dragon would be at its peak strength in battle.
Vermilion Bird Legion
The Vermilion Bird Legion specialized in speed and agility, focusing on swift attacks and evasive maneuvers. Known for their fiery energy and bold spirit, this legion\'s military soul, the Vermilion Bird, appeared as a magnificent flaming bird, embodying their fierce combat style.
Legion commander Huo Yan, renowned for his mastery over fire qi, led the Vermilion Bird Legion.
Under his guidance, the soldiers practiced high-speed coordination drills and rapid strikes, blending their individual energy into a perfect formation that could deal twice the damage.
Each member practiced their qi manipulation, creating a synchronized flow that allowed them to summon the Vermilion Bird\'s blazing wings with deadly precision.
White Tiger Legion
Known as the Xu family\'s primary attack force, the White Tiger Legion specialized in raw power and ferocity.
Their cultivation manual focused on explosive strength, and their military soul, the White Tiger, was a powerful beast that channeled their fearsome energy into focused, devastating attacks.
Legion Commander Fang Hu, a fierce strategist and swordsman, led the White Tiger Legion. His soldiers practiced powerful combat techniques, each move striking with the force of a tiger.
Their training included intense sparring and energy channeling exercises, ensuring that when the White Tiger was summoned, it would amplify their attacks, capable of shattering even the strongest defenses.
Black Tortoise Legion
The Black Tortoise Legion served as the Xu family\'s ultimate defense. Known for their resilience, they specialized in protective formations and defensive tactics.
Their military soul, the Black Tortoise, was a guardian that shielded the legion, absorbing attacks and protecting allies within its shell.
Legion Commander Xu Cheng, a master of water and earth qi, led the Black Tortoise Legion. Under his leadership, the legion trained in layered defense techniques, using qi to create protective barriers.
They focused on maintaining steady, resilient energy, enhancing their connection to the Black Tortoise so it could provide a powerful shield in battle.
These four Divine Beast Legions represented the Xu family\'s core strength, each one specializing in unique combat styles that complemented one another.
Together, they were a force that few armies could withstand.
Additional Legions
Celestial Sword Legion
Comprising master swordsmen, the Celestial Sword Legion\'s military soul was an ethereal sword that could cut through spiritual and physical defenses.
Their training emphasized precision and coordination, each member practicing synchronized strikes that resonated through the legion.
Legion Commander Jian Chen, known for his sword mastery, led the Celestial Sword Legion.
He ensured that his soldiers spent time refining their techniques, focusing on unity and honing their bond with the ethereal sword, making it a fearsome weapon in their hands.
Storm Eagle Legion
Known for aerial combat, the Storm Eagle Legion\'s military soul, an eagle, allowed them to attack from above with fierce wind qi techniques.
They trained in high-speed maneuvers, focusing on precision strikes.
Legion Commander Feng Lang, an expert in wind manipulation, led the Storm Eagle Legion.
Under his command, the soldiers practiced flight formations and storm-based attacks, training to summon the Storm Eagle with pinpoint accuracy.
As the legions prepared, their commanders ensured each unit maintained its focus. There was no open mobilization; instead, the soldiers intensified their training schedules, sharpening their skills and deepening their connection to their military souls.
Within the Azure Dragon Legion, members practiced the art of qi fortification, sitting in tightly arranged formations as they cultivated.
Their synchronization exercises involved rhythmic breathing and energy channeling, which aligned their qi and reinforced the Azure Dragon\'s power.
Each soldier was fully aware that their strength depended on their unity, and they trained with single-minded dedication.
The Vermilion Bird Legion spent hours practicing high-speed movements in unison. Each member honed their agility, working in groups to perfect their formation, ensuring that when summoned, the Vermilion Bird could launch rapid, fiery strikes.
They trained as a cohesive unit, every soldier seamlessly syncing with their comrades, creating a fiery aura that burned with determination.
In the White Tiger Legion, soldiers practiced powerful strikes, each blow resonating with the energy of the White Tiger.
They trained in pairs, sparring to enhance their attack power, building the strength needed to summon the White Tiger\'s fierce might.
Their synchronized exercises focused on power and impact, reinforcing their bond and preparing them to unleash their full potential.
The Black Tortoise Legion practiced defensive maneuvers; their energy focused on creating barriers that could withstand heavy assaults.
Each soldier contributed their qi to the collective, building a strong, unbreakable shield.
Their training was slow and steady, ensuring that when the Black Tortoise was summoned, it would protect them with impenetrable defenses.
Each of these legions has tens of millions of soldiers with multiple branches that are connected to each other to create a perfect web that can deal with anything that comes their way.
In addition, there are other legions out there, but many of them are either under creation and are not combat-ready or are part of the special group that will only respond in a dire emergency.
However, all of the legions have started to move under Xu Qianghua\'s command, waiting for him to point toward their enemies.
The Next Morning
At dawn, Xu Qianghua stepped out of the dual cultivation room, flanked by Lin Yue and An Zhihao on either side, each holding his arm as they exited together.
Xu Qianghua appeared refreshed and composed, and calm energy surrounded him as he moved forward.
Lin Yue and An Zhihao both had happy and fulfilled smiles as they had a hop in their steps after being \'cured\' by him.
And as they made their way towards the dining room, they spotted the rest of the ladies waiting near the dinning room door.
They all looked envious and jealous as all of these ladies had made a deal that they would be with him according to a schedule during the week.
But Lin Yue and An Zhihao destroyed the schedule, which made the other ladies mad and jealous.
And Xu Qianghua, who saw this, ignored it as he looked at the gathered group, acknowledging each of them with a nod.
"Thank you all for your quick response to the Level 3 notice," he began, his tone steady and direct."
The Zerg have found our planet and are on their way, although the one coming is a small advance/collection force.
It is still a threat to most of the people on this planet which is why I want to clear out the Zerg ship before they come as that would make the whole incident confusing.
And that is the best time for us as we can grow without attracting powerful Zerg which is what we need.
And with the Zerg approaching us with no idea of our true power, it should be an easy battle with not many casualties.
Our legions are preparing quietly, and we will not act until they arrive close enough to make a surprise attack."
The ladies listened intently as he continued. "We have notified all the forces under us to start the level 3 protocols, which are being carried out as we speak.
Along with the help from the legions, we have enough confidence to do it easily."
The ladies then explained some details on their forces and some of the protocols, which differed depending on the force.
And Xu Qianghua gave them an approving nod, satisfied with their readiness. "Good. Maintain your vigilance.
I want to strike the Zerg when they least expect it. Our unity will be our strength in this battle."
Then, all of them went to the dining table to talk more about this, as the ladies still needed to get a better understanding of the situation.
