485: Awe

Bang, bang, bang.

Wang Chen, wanting to test his hypothesis, went all out, using Immovable as a Mountain, and Xiong Hao was beaten back step by step.

In just a moment, the golden light enveloping him was shattered, and the sound of fist-to-flesh collisions echoed continuously throughout the military camp.

Amidst it,

there were also pleas for mercy, lacking in vigor.

"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!"

"Lord Commander, I, Old Xiong, submit!"

"Hiss!"

"Lighter, lighter, I can't take it anymore!"

Xiong Hao was bruised and swollen, one arm hung limply at his side, his bones broken in several places.

He looked utterly miserable, completely lacking the aggressive arrogance he had displayed earlier.

However, at this moment, Wang Chen completely ignored Xiong Hao's pleas for mercy.

Instead, encountering such a suitable sandbag, he was delighted.

After the barrage of attacks just now, he had confirmed his hypothesis.

His own strength hadn't changed at all, but when he attacked, he no longer felt the usual restraint, and the power of his skills increased by fifty percent.

After testing these various methods, Xiong Hao had no power to retaliate whatsoever.

"I was wrong!"

"I shouldn't have questioned Lord Commander!"

The miserable Xiong Hao, seeing that Wang Chen still wouldn't stop, had an incredibly bitter expression on his face.

Several thousand people in the entire military camp were watching outside; he had lost a lot of face today.

"Damn it, this Lord Commander is too fierce. He can beat me up at Rank 4. When did such a Prodigy appear in our homeland?"

"Wait..."

"When Li Yujiu introduced him just now, he said the Commander's surname was Wang?"

"Crap!"

"Li Yujiu tricked me, this Commander must be that Prodigy, Wang Chen!!"

Thinking with alarm, Xiong Zhan had no more fighting spirit at this point and simply lay down on the ground.

Anyway, in broad daylight, Wang Chen couldn't just kill him, so he might as well lie flat and let him do as he pleased.

Of course, he still had some small cleverness.

"Thank you, Lord Commander, for your guidance. My strength is low, and my stamina is exhausted."

"If Lord Commander is not yet satisfied, then Chu Dongshan and several other colleagues are all quite strong and will surely satisfy Lord Commander."

Xiong Hao knew he had run into trouble today and wouldn't get off lightly. He first said a few soft words, still trying to drag Chu Dongshan and the others into it.

This voice spread throughout the military camp, and the expressions of Chu Dongshan and the others watching outside became tense, and they couldn't help but curse inwardly.

But very quickly, they all simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.

Only to see inside the military camp.

Wang Chen heard Xiong Hao feign exhaustion to shift the blame, and a playful smile appeared on his face.

"No need for such trouble."

He looked at Xiong Hao, who was playing dead on the ground, extended a hand, and energy containing extremely strong vitality began to gather.

On the ground, Xiong Hao's heart had just filled with a bad premonition when, the next second, the energy containing extremely strong vitality landed on his body.

Like spring rain nourishing dry land, his stamina quickly recovered, and his broken arm automatically returned to its place.

In the blink of an eye, he recovered to his Peak state.

"I have healing skills that can keep Centurion Xiong in perfect condition at all times. Come, let's continue."

The somewhat dazed Xiong Hao hadn't recovered from his complete healing when he heard Wang Chen's voice, laced with amusement.

Xiong Hao was completely dumbfounded.

Damn it!

You beat me up so badly, and after healing me, you want to keep fighting?

Are you a devil?

Instantly, seeing Wang Chen already moving, Xiong Hao gritted his teeth, directly dispelled the magical defense on his body, and rammed his head into the ground, knocking himself unconscious.

"This..."

Seeing this scene, Wang Chen's raised foot silently retracted, feeling a bit exasperated.

What a talent!

He sighed inwardly, silently withdrew the Aura from his body, and turned to look around.

All he saw were gazes mixed with reverence; the contempt they had held when he first arrived was completely gone.

Especially the members of the newly formed Eleventh Thousand-Man Squad, their eyes were filled with admiration.

Previously, they worried that the new Commander's strength was low, and they would be ridiculed by brothers from other thousand-man squads when they went out.

But now, they had no such worries at all.

Xiong Hao's strength was among the best of the Centurions, arguably second only to the various Commanders.

Now, he had been easily defeated by the new Lord Commander. This terrifying strength made many soldiers' hearts surge with emotion.

With such a powerful superior officer, who would dare to look down on them when they went out? They would probably be too busy envying them!

Having dealt with Xiong Hao.

Wang Chen's assumption of command over the Eleventh Thousand-Man Squad naturally proceeded without further incident.

Afterward, he handed over some miscellaneous tasks to Li Yujiu to handle, and he and Lin Chunzhi got together.

...

...

Inside the tent.

Wang Chen and Lin Chunzhi sat facing each other.

"Ansos has sent another plea for help."

"He's asking us to send troops for rescue as soon as possible, and he's sent a large amount of resources with it."

Lin Chunzhi took out a letter and handed it to Wang Chen, saying with a faint smile:

"The Magic Tide is almost at the Earl's mansion; that guy is already in disarray."

Wang Chen read the plea for help, then sneered and nodded.

In the letter, Lord Ansuosi's words were extremely fawning, promising all sorts of benefits, and simultaneously heavily condemning Sakura Country.

According to the letter, after the Sakura Country thousand-man squad arrived in the territory, they built their camp and then made no further moves.

Lord Ansuosi's various benefits were all accepted, but there was no mention of helping to eliminate the Magic Tide.

Clearly, they intended to wait for Lord Ansuosi to be wiped out by the Magic Tide, and then make their move to completely devour the entire territory.

"It seems we should also set off."

Although Wang Chen didn't quite understand these intricate schemes, he knew that Lord Ansuosi couldn't die just yet.

Otherwise, they would have no pretext to enter his territory, let alone advance their subsequent plans.

"That's right!"

Lin Chunzhi nodded, saying with a somewhat cold tone:

"Lord Ansuosi's duplicity is certainly detestable, but we cannot let him truly be destroyed by the Magic Tide."

"We still need to use his name to deal with those scoundrels from Sakura Country."

At this point, Lin Chunzhi's expression became serious.

"I've already arranged everything with the Quartermaster's office; everything is ready."

"Then let's depart immediately."

Wang Chen stood up directly from his seat, waving his hand decisively.

"At the speed of the airship, it will take us at least half a day to reach Ansos Earl Territory."

"If we move quickly, we might be able to eliminate the Magic Tide before evening."

"Then, taking advantage of nightfall, it will be just right to proceed with the next step of the operation."

"Brother Li..."

At this moment, Li Yujiu, having finished dealing with various matters, walked into the tent. Wang Chen saw him and directly beckoned:

"Issue the order, everyone gather immediately and prepare to board the airship."

"Your subordinate will arrange it at once."

Li Yujiu solemnly accepted the order and turned to make preparations without delay.

Soon.

The members of the Eleventh Thousand-Man Squad gathered at the airship field and began boarding in an orderly fashion.
