181: Chapter 181 The Might of Great Xia! The Ultimate Overwhelming Power!

Chen Xingbian was not in a hurry at all; in fact, he reassured Li Mo, "Young man, don't worry! A fight won't break out!"

"If he really wanted to fight, that Marshal wouldn't have called for reinforcements just now! He would have engaged Morpheus directly!"

Chen Xingbian was, after all, a former General in The Military, and he was well-versed in political maneuvering.

Li Mo thought about it and suddenly realized the truth.

Chen Xingbian was right; if Zhao Zhenyuan truly wanted to fight, there would be no need to summon all the Martial Gods of the Great Xia to the scene.

After all, if the Martial Gods gathered together, the consequences of a chaotic battle would be even more severe.

It was intriguing that Zhao Zhenyuan, who could have easily settled the score with Morpheus himself, chose to summon all the Martial Gods of the Great Xia instead.

His purpose was simple: to put pressure on the Black Earth Tribe.

For the first time in one hundred and eighty years, a Martial God had broken the rules.

If Zhao Zhenyuan did not react, the Black Earth Tribe would likely believe that the Great Xia had no one left and could be bullied.

At the same time, Zhao Zhenyuan did not want a war between the Martial Gods, which is why he did not directly attack Morpheus.

If he were to fight Morpheus to the death, there would be no room for reconciliation.

Zhao Zhenyuan did not issue the Martial God Summoning Order with the intention of starting a war; on the contrary, he hoped to deter the Black Earth Tribe without actually fighting.

Over the Qiyuan Mountains, one by one, the supreme combatants of the Human Race gathered. The Martial God Summoning Order was the highest command of The Military and the government; even at the level of a Martial God, one dared not refuse without a special reason.

Although it was said that the Martial Gods would gather within an hour, in reality, thanks to their speed, the available Martial Gods within the Great Xia had already assembled in less than half an hour.

There were currently thirty registered Martial Gods in the Great Xia. Excluding those like Chen Xingbian who had been missing for a century, this represented the highest power of the Great Xia.

This Martial God Summoning Order brought twenty-four Martial Gods to the scene.

Seeing these legendary figures, the soldiers were filled with excitement.

In ordinary times, many of them might never see even one of these figures in their entire lives.

Most soldiers who joined The Military were also Cultivators pursuing the Dao of martial arts, and the figures above them represented the pinnacle of that Dao! How could they not be excited?

"Look, that's Martial God Jiang Wentian! His Great Freedom Technique became world-famous a century ago; they say he can transform into anything in the world! How marvelous!"

"Pah! It's just transformation! Jiang Wentian has fancy techniques but low combat power! He's probably at the bottom among the Martial Gods! In my opinion, it has to be the Thunder God, Sun Ruopu. His domineering Profound Thunder is mastered to perfection; he can reduce people to ashes with a smile!"

"Heh! The most powerful among the Martial Gods has to be our Marshal Yue! As the first Marshal since the founding of the New Era, he has lived for three hundred years and is the most senior! The other Martial Gods aren't even worth mentioning!"

The crowd discussed fervently, their eyes filled with admiration.

For anyone who Cultivates the Dao of martial arts, who wouldn't want to stand at the pinnacle like those figures above?

"Zhao Zhenyuan, why did you issue the Martial God Summoning Order? Do you realize how precious this is to the Great Xia?"

An elderly man with white hair in the sky questioned Zhao Zhenyuan in a heavy tone.

It should be noted that Zhao Zhenyuan was also a Martial God and held the position of Marshal of the Great Xia; even the Martial Gods gathered by the Summoning Order would typically not dare to speak to him like that.

Yet, among the twenty-four Martial Gods present, there was only one who could speak to him in such a manner: Marshal Yue Wuyun!

It was no surprise that Marshal Yue Wuyun asked this; as the first Marshal of the New Calendar, he had created the Martial God Summoning Order system.

In a sense, these Martial Gods were not giving Face to Zhao Zhenyuan, but to Marshal Yue Wuyun!

This question from Marshal Yue Wuyun was also asked on behalf of the Martial Gods present.

When Marshal Yue was in office, he had only issued the Martial God Summoning Order once, and he had vowed never to issue it again unless the nation was on the brink of destruction.

In front of Marshal Yue Wuyun, Zhao Zhenyuan dared not defy him and immediately cupped his hands, saying, "Marshal Yue, please forgive me! The Martial God of the Black Earth Tribe actually tore up the agreement and attacked our Great Xia military! This is the first time the Martial God agreement has been violated in one hundred and eighty years! That is why I dared to summon everyone here!"

Upon hearing that a Martial God from the Black Earth Tribe had attacked ordinary troops, the Martial Gods present frowned, realizing the crisis.

In such a situation, perhaps only by having all the Martial Gods present as witnesses could the matter be resolved.

The hot-tempered Martial God Qin Ming was the first to step forward. He looked down at the Black Earth Tribe's army, his eyes wide with rage, exuding an incredibly powerful Aura.

Then, his voice rang out like a great bell toward the crowd of the Black Earth Tribe.

"Who dares to attack my Great Xia military? I, Martial God Qin Ming, will be the first not to forgive them! I warn you, my great-grandson is in the army. If it's a normal battlefield fight, whether he lives or dies is another matter, but if any Martial God dares to hurt him, I will grind your bones to dust!"

Martial God Qin Ming's words terrified the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Black Earth Tribe.

Martial God Qin Ming had been a famous Martial God for many years and had a long-standing reputation in the Black Earth Tribe; he alone could indeed destroy these hundreds of thousands of troops.

In terms of top-tier combat power, the Great Xia side clearly had more presence. With twenty-four Martial Gods standing in the high sky, both the Black Earth Tribe's troops and the Baiou Empire's troops appeared like ants.

However, Qin Zhengnan below was getting a bit anxious, especially when many people's gazes involuntarily turned toward him. He flushed red and said, "Great-Grandfather, by saying that, aren't you clearly telling everyone that I'm a nepotism hire? How am I supposed to get by in the army in the future!"

Regardless, the Great Xia's troops could finally hold their heads high.

Previously, due to the disadvantage in numbers and equipment, they had been suppressed by the two countries. Li Mo leading the Independent Regiment in a counterattack had regained some Aura, and now, with these twenty-four Martial Gods present, the enemy dared not move.

Even Morpheus dared not respond. Although Martial Gods were hard to kill, that was in a one-on-one situation. Once a one-on-one fight turned into a group brawl, the immortal body of a Martial God was not so effective.

This situation continued until the Martial Gods of the Black Earth Tribe and the Baiou Empire arrived, which improved things slightly.

But even if the Martial Gods of those two countries all descended, they could not compare to the Great Xia.

The Great Xia had twenty-four Martial Gods, and each of them basically possessed extremely strong power.

The Martial Gods of the other two countries only added up to thirty in total, and in terms of individual strength, they were still inferior to the Martial Gods of the Great Xia.
