100: Chapter 100: An army of over 60,000!

They were dressed in crisp, uniform white chef's uniforms, wearing iconic tall hats, with clean aprons tied around their waists, and holding spatulas and iron pots.

The morning sunlight shone on their snow-white uniforms, reflecting a soft halo.

Compared to the surrounding warriors with their menacing armor and chilling weapons, they seemed so "out of place," yet they strangely exuded a sense of reassuring domesticity and professionalism.

Lin Tian paced in front of this special unit, his gaze sweeping over faces that were either dazed from gaining new power or slightly awkward due to their peculiar attire, and an undisguised, extremely satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Not bad, truly not bad!" he then laughed aloud, his voice filled with the joy of discovering a treasure.

"Although you cannot directly charge into battle to kill enemies, your abilities are no less important to our Lin Tian City than any elite combat unit!"

Recalling the skill descriptions for the "Royal Chef" he had just seen, the more he pondered, the more he felt that this "pitfall item" from the Gold Treasure Chest was actually a massive surprise gift for him!

"With Spirit-Rhino Ingredient Identification, from now on, whether the ingredients collected or hunted in our territory are good or bad, poisonous or not, and how to best combine them, you will know at a glance! We will no longer fear being deceived or accidentally consuming poisonous items!"

"With Cook's Heavenly Craft, look at this craftsmanship; in the future, what the brothers eat won't be some chaotic stew, it will be art! It will be an enjoyment!"

"With Thousand-People One Taste, this is the key! We have over sixty thousand people now, and there will be more in the future!"

"With you here, no matter how many people there are or how many stoves are lit, I can guarantee that every person's meal will have the exact same taste and level of doneness! What is this called? This is standardized logistical support! It is the foundation for maintaining the army's morale and combat effectiveness!"

"And then there is Food Connects the Heavens..." Lin Tian's tone became exceptionally solemn, his gaze deep.

"Being able to eliminate fatigue after the brothers are full, make them happy, and even soothe the fear and pain brought by battle when needed... how is this just cooking? This is clearly forging the heart! It is our Lin Tian City's unique 'morale armor' and 'spiritual potion'!"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, as if he could already see the scene in the future barracks where soldiers, after finishing a day of grueling training or brutal slaughter, returned to a tidy cafeteria to enjoy hot meals meticulously prepared by the Royal Chef, which were not only delicious but also capable of soothing the body and mind, sweeping away their fatigue and restoring their high morale.

These five hundred Royal Chef, their strategic value is immense!

"Products from a Gold Treasure Chest truly live up to their reputation, no matter how unreliable they may seem."

Lin Tian sighed with emotion again, feeling incredibly fortunate for his "impulse purchase" yesterday.

He looked at these five hundred Royal Chef as if looking at the most precious treasures, "From now on, the logistics of our entire army's meals are entrusted to you! Make sure the brothers eat well, eat their fill, and eat with strength and morale! Can you do it?"

"Yes! We swear to serve the Lord and our brothers!"

The five hundred Royal Chef replied in unison; their voices were a bit uneven at first but quickly became synchronized, filled with the excitement and determination of being valued.

They waved the spatulas and iron ladles in their hands, and under the sunlight, a flash of metallic luster appeared, which was amusing yet deeply reassuring.

After dealing with this unexpected "surprise," Lin Tian's thoughts returned to the integration of the overall military force.

He turned around to face the army of over sixty thousand, which had finished regrouping and was unprecedented in scale, his gaze like lightning as he quickly swept over the formations of various units.

With a slight movement of his mind, he took out the one hundred space crystal that he had traded for with Lord Su Wan yesterday, which were also the remainder from his initial experiments.

These crystals contained the precious power of spatial laws; although their compatibility with the origin of the Moon Shadow Archer seemed not as perfect as the wood crystal stone, and the resulting "Void Ranger" were of slightly lower quality, the "Dimensional Rending Arrow," "Void Moon Shadow," and "Dimensional Insight" abilities they bestowed were irreplaceable in specific tactics.

"We need a more flexible and lethal 'assassin' unit." Lin Tian already had a plan in mind.

He cast his gaze toward the massive Archer formation commanded by Lin Yin and ordered in a deep voice: "Lin Yin!"

"Present!" Lin Yin's clear voice rang out immediately. Her moon-white figure stepped out from the front of the Archer formation, walking lightly yet firmly to Lin Tian, slightly tilting her head, her clear eyes waiting for Lin Tian's instructions.

"From the veteran Moon Shadow Archer under your command, select one hundred of the highest-level Moon Shadow Archer to step forward."

Lin Tian instructed, while placing the one hundred starlight-shimmering space crystal in front.

"I will use these space crystal to perform a second targeted Fusion Evolution for them, making them 'Void Ranger'."

Lin Yin's gaze swept over the space crystal that emitted alluring yet dangerous fluctuations, and a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes.

Without the slightest hesitation, she immediately turned and walked toward her own phalanx.

Soon, one hundred Moon Shadow Archer female soldiers with the most refined auras and sharpest eyes stepped out silently and swiftly, arriving before Lin Tian.

The subsequent Fusion process, although still causing small-scale spatial distortion ripples, was handled more skillfully by Lin Tian thanks to his previous experience.

One hundred space crystal were integrated into the bodies of the one hundred elite Moon Shadow Archer one by one.

Spatial light flickered on and off, accompanied by subtle spatial humming, and one by one, Void Ranger with mysterious auras, crystalline armor, and holding stringless Void bows were born.

They stood quietly in place, adapting to the newly added power within them that resonated with the void, their eyes becoming even more profound and unfathomable.

When the last Void Ranger completed the evolution, Lin Tian already had a clear blueprint in his mind regarding the current military composition of the territory.

He took a deep breath, and the crisp morning air filled his chest.

He stepped onto the high platform again, overlooking the massive legion below that had developed like a snowball from the initial few dozen people to its current scale. The sunlight cast his shadow over the neat military formations, as if crowning him.

At this point, the total military force of Lin Tian City, numbering over sixty-four thousand five hundred, was clearly divided:

Under Lin Feng: nineteen thousand eight hundred Heavy Armored Spearman, two hundred Golden Armored Spearman.

Under Lin Yin: six hundred Pale Moon Hunter, two hundred Void Ranger, nineteen thousand two hundred Moon Shadow Archer.

Under Lin Yan: ten thousand Mystic Rock Spirit Guard, ten thousand Rock Armor Soldier.

Under Commander Lin Yu: four thousand Holy Healing Priest and the five hundred Royal Chef added today.

All legions performed their duties, cooperated with each other, and initially formed a military system framework that was relatively complete in function, capable of both offense and defense, and had specialized logistical support.

The sunlight completely leaped over the horizon, spilling golden radiance over the brand-new walls of Lin Tian City, and illuminating the sixty thousand-strong iron torrent on the training field that had just finished reorganization and was surging with momentum.

Lin Tian stood on the high platform, looking at this force he had created with his own hands, his chest filled with a mix of pride and a sense of responsibility.

He knew that the real test was about to arrive with the coming of the seventh night.

But this integrated and strengthened army gave him unprecedented confidence.
