190: Chapter 190 A Million-Dollar Epic!

Nearly three million new recruits, like three million newly sown seeds, were densely scattered across the vast, newly designated area outside Lin Tian City.

The sound of voices was faint, converging into a low wave.

"Not enough!" Lin Tian took a deep breath, suppressing the slight dizziness caused by the massive number in his heart, and instructed the messenger beside him.

"Notify the warehouse to transport all stock of Fusion Materials to the largest drill ground in the outer city. For the part that is not enough, use the mirror of replication to replicate them with the highest priority; there are plenty of five-element spirit crystals!"

"Yes!"

Soon, that giant drill ground in the outer city, which was large enough to accommodate a million-strong army for drills and had its ground reinforced by Earth Spirit Guards skills, turned into an incredibly busy open-air "workshop" and "furnace".

On one side were mountains of various Materials: Refined Iron, black-yellow stone, Moon Birch wood, healing potion...

On the other side were three million new recruits standing solemnly, waiting as far as the eye could see.

Lin Tian walked to the high platform in the center of the drill ground.

He did not start immediately, but closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment, then opened them abruptly, with countless streams of runic light seemingly flashing and passing through his eyes.

"Fusion Evolution!"

He first targeted the existing major epic core troop types.

His Mental Energy, like the most precise tentacles, guided the corresponding five-element spirit crystal energy, turning it into a five-colored torrent that surged into the veteran troops who had already reached the promotion threshold and performed outstandingly in yesterday's battle.

"Hum!"

The first patch of brilliant radiance lit up on the drill ground!

The golden armor became more brilliant, the moonlight more condensed, the power of the earth heavier, the Holy Light purer, and the flames more violent... A million epic units were achieved just like that!

Like sharp blades that had been re-tempered, their Aura suddenly soared, and the energy fluctuations above the drill ground stalled for a moment.

This was not the end. Lin Tian's face was already slightly pale, but his eyes remained as sharp as before.

"Second batch, target the newly recruited three million ordinary troops, divided equally among the five major categories, evolve!"

A more massive project began. It was as if dozens of small energy suns of different colors rose on the drill ground at the same time, their light intertwining and roaring in waves, which was quite spectacular.

The sounds of various evolutions mixed into a grand and primitive symphony of evolution.

Countless new recruits underwent a rebirth in the light, their breath becoming powerful and refined at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, guiding the Fusion Evolution of two million units simultaneously, even with platinum rank strength, was a terrifying drain on Lin Tian's Mental Energy and his own energy.

His face turned from slightly pale to deathly pale, large beads of cold sweat seeped from his forehead and slid down his cheeks, and his body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.

His vision went dark in waves, his ears were ringing, as if countless needles were stabbing his brain at the same time.

"The last... batch..."

He gritted his teeth, his gums almost bleeding, forcibly squeezing out the last bit of Mental Energy to complete the guidance for the last few phalanxes.

When the last ray of evolutionary light slowly dissipated and merged into the body of a newly promoted Blazing Fire Mage, Lin Tian only felt the string in his mind that had been taut all along snap with a "pop".

A violent sense of dizziness and weakness engulfed him like a tsunami.

His vision went black, the world spun, his legs gave way, and he fell forward, losing control of his body.

"Brother Tian!"

A clear cry filled with rare panic rang in his ears.

Immediately after, a pair of arms steadily and timely supported his falling body.

It was Lin Yin. She had arrived under the high platform at some point and had been paying attention to Lin Tian's condition.

Lin Tian felt himself fall into a warm and firm embrace that carried a faint, clear fragrance of moonlight.

He managed to open his eyes a crack, his vision blurred, and he could only see Lin Yin's beautiful profile close at hand, filled with anxiety and heartache.

"I'm... fine," Lin Tian wanted to force a smile to reassure her, but found he didn't even have the strength to twitch the corners of his mouth, his voice as weak as a whisper.

"Just... a bit overdrawn... rest for a while... and it will be fine..."

He could feel the arms holding him trembling slightly; it wasn't out of weakness, but out of fear and heartache.

"Don't talk anymore!"

Lin Yin's voice carried a hint of suppressed choking; watching the deathly pale face and sweat-drenched forehead of the person in her arms, her heart felt like it had been severely twisted.

Without any hesitation, she gritted her teeth, her arms passing through the back of Lin Tian's knees and his back, exerting force from her waist and abdomen.

A standard "princess carry" with an irresistible force.

She steadily carried Lin Tian, who was much taller than her, horizontally!

"!" Although Lin Tian's consciousness was blurred, he was still stunned by this sudden action, and a hint of an extremely subtle, almost absurd blush even appeared on his pale face.

But he didn't even have the strength to lift a finger at this moment, let alone resist, so he could only let Lin Yin carry him.

Lin Yin's cheeks were also slightly hot, but she forced herself to remain calm, avoiding the startled, curious, and quickly turning-to-understanding-and-admiration gazes of the surrounding soldiers.

Carrying Lin Tian, she walked steadily yet quickly through the drill ground, through the streets of the inner city, straight back to the Lords Mansion, and arrived at the bed in Lin Tian's spacious bedroom.

She carefully placed Lin Tian on the soft bedding, her movements as gentle as if she were placing a fragile treasure.

She also carefully took off his shoes and socks, pulled up the quilt, and covered him.

After doing all this, she sat down by the bed, looking at Lin Tian's tired sleeping face with his eyes closed and brows slightly furrowed, her cold voice becoming gentle, carrying an unquestionable tone:

"Brother Tian, you should rest well first. We will talk about the rest when you have rested enough. Or... if you have anything to instruct, tell me, and I will go help you convey it."

Lin Tian struggled to lift his eyelids, looking at the irrefutable concern in Lin Yin's eyes, knowing he couldn't win against her.

He concentrated his last bit of clear thoughts, his voice still weak, but clear and logical:

"Tell Lin Feng... let him select the one million with the highest Rank from the two million veterans, and then take the two million new recruits newly fused today..."

"Immediately go through the passage to the different dimension. There is only one task: use those monsters to train the new recruits' Rank and combat experience for me as fast as possible..."

He took a breath and continued:

"The remaining troops... stay behind first, guard the home, consolidate the city defense... wait for me... wait for me to recover, then continue the Fusion Evolution..."

"Okay, I have noted it all down. Sleep peacefully, I will go make arrangements now."

Lin Yin listened carefully, gently held Lin Tian's cold hand, tucked the corner of the quilt for him again, then stood up, took one last deep look at Lin Tian who had fallen into a deep sleep on the bed, turned around and silently exited the room, gently closing the door behind her.

Lin Tian's sleep was not deep; it was more like his consciousness had sunk into a warm sea of darkness, undergoing mandatory repair and buffering.
