161: Settle in Dingjun Mountain!

Above the city wall, a communication light screen popped up in front of Su Jin.

In the light screen appeared an old general with white hair but a vigorous spirit and astonishingly bright eyes.

"I am General Wei, the Commander-in-Chief of the Youfeng Valley War Zone!"

The old general's voice was full of vigor, carrying the crispness unique to a soldier and… an undisguised curiosity.

"Are you Su Jin, the Lord of Infinite City?"

Su Jin nodded slightly and responded with a smile, "It is I."

"Good! Good lad!"

General Wei looked at Su Jin's overly young face and couldn't help but praise him, then, as if remembering something, his expression became a little strange.

"That… your Legend named Bai Xiao… is he, is he usually this fierce?"

He really couldn't hold back and asked the question that had been scratching at his mind for a long time.

This was no longer a question of whether he was strong or not; this was simply unreasonable.

Su Jin's mouth curved into a smile upon hearing this.

"Standard procedure, I hope the General will excuse my impertinence."

Standard procedure?

One sword to instantly kill a Legend is called standard procedure?

Then what about the two on our side who risked their lives just to hold them back?

A friendly match warm-up?

He had lived for almost a hundred years and had never seen such a pretentious… no, such a calm and composed young man.

"What a 'standard procedure'!"

General Wei held back for a long time, finally letting out an exasperated chuckle.

"The world of you young people is something we old folks understand less and less. Alright, enough about that, let's talk business."

The smile on his face receded, and his expression became serious.

"Lord Su Jin, the Dark Star Empire's offensive has been thwarted this time, and they've lost two Legendary Great Generals. They should be unable to organize another large-scale attack in the short term. However…"

General Wei's voice sank.

"Youfeng Valley is an important node in the southern war zone."

"They will definitely make a comeback. And next time, their target will be very clear: it will be directed at your Infinite City, and also… Lord Bai Xiao."

The threat level of an existence that can easily annihilate a Legend of the same rank has probably instantly been maxed out in the Dark Star Empire's database.

Su Jin's expression also became serious, and he nodded.

"I understand. When they return, they will surely be fully prepared."

"Exactly." General Wei's eyes showed approval, and then he sent over a coordinate.

"So, I have a suggestion."

"Temporarily place your Infinite City at the 'Dingjun Mountain' coordinates in our Youfeng Valley."

"That place has a strategic terrain and has already constructed a super-large defensive array cluster, which can complement your city's defense system."

"Most importantly, it is the core node of the entire defense line."

Su Jin's gaze swept over the coordinates, and with a thought, Grand Void Azurewood Palace's perception network instantly analyzed the terrain and energy flow of the area with perfect clarity.

It was indeed a good place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"Understood."

Upon receiving the affirmative reply, General Wei seemed to let out a huge sigh of relief.

After a pause, his tone carried a hint of emotion.

"The Youfeng Valley defense line gathers hundreds of territories from the Blue Star Alliance here, most of which are Lords conscripted like you."

"And a small portion, like me, are war territories belonging to the military."

"We are the first and most important barrier against the Dark Star Empire's military might."

Su Jin listened quietly; this information was crucial to him.

General Wei seemed to notice his contemplation and continued to explain.

"The main forces of our defense line all start with Level 7 territories."

"Normally, a territory would have to reach Level 9 to potentially give birth to its own Legendary-tier combat power."

"For a Level 8 territory to produce a Legend is already a sign of extraordinary talent, extremely rare. For a Level 7 territory like yours… it's even more unheard of."

At this point, the old general shook his head self-deprecatingly.

"To be honest, when we received your information before, we didn't have much hope."

"After all… the gap between Legends can be very large, but we didn't expect the larger end to be on your side."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"The Legendary tier, from Tier 13 to Tier 18, each tier is a world of difference."

"The strength displayed by Lord Bai Xiao has probably already touched the mid-to-high levels of the Legendary domain. Such an existence, the Dark Star Empire will never take lightly."

"What's more, he has already 'True Name' liberated, hasn't he?"

At this point, he couldn't help but look at Su Jin again, as if seeking confirmation from him.

Su Jin met his gaze and nodded.

"Yes."

Upon receiving the affirmative response, General Wei couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Truly… incredible…"

But he quickly recovered, a smile spreading across his face, making his white beard curl up.

"Good! Excellent! With such a powerful ally, what great task can we not accomplish?"

"I won't disturb you here for now."

"After you settle your territory, come to my camp tonight. I'll host a welcoming banquet for you and also let you meet the other main persons in charge of the defense line!"

As the communication cut off.

Su Jin turned around and ordered Zhui Yun and Mu Yang beside him, "Pass the order to the entire army, prepare to land. Target: Dingjun Mountain!"

"Yes, Lord!"

A moment later, under the shocked gazes of countless Alliance soldiers in Youfeng Valley.

The majestic giant city, suspended in the sky, slowly moved, flying towards the core mountain range behind the defense line.

......

"Boom—"

A dull thud.

Infinite City's massive base embedded into the concave groove of Dingjun Mountain's body, and the earth trembled violently with it.

The next moment.

Above Infinite City's walls, countless pre-set rune arrays were activated, lighting up with brilliant golden energy streams that spiraled down along the walls.

They connected with the defensive arrays within Dingjun Mountain, and on the mountain's surface, countless silver array patterns interweaved and soared into the sky!

Golden and silver energy torrents intertwined and merged, forming a vast energy canopy covering an area of a hundred miles.

The entire Infinite City, at this moment, completely merged with this land and mountain range.
