Chapter 906 - 533: Jiang Yi Arrives, Zong’s Leisurely Mood

So far, eighty-seven Lords have gathered on this side.

Including the warriors under Zong Shen’s command.

There are nearly four thousand warriors solely belonging to the Guides Corps.

Of course, this is a total number.

Within the Guides Corps, there are Lords with moderate to even slow development progress.

There are also quite a number of upper-echelon Lords with strength comparable to Jiang Yi.

Because Zong Shen seldom cares about the development of the corps.

So he’s not very familiar with the current members of the corps.

He only knows the veteran members who gathered during the Burrow Challenge to participate in the slaying of the Netherworld Snake Apophis.

In short, in terms of order, attendance, and gathering speed, the current Guides Corps is the best-performing group on the spot.

It is also the largest collective group.

Other Lords also grouped together as corps units.

However, none have as many members present as the Guides Corps.

The largest group only consists of thirty to forty individuals.

"Commander, long time no see!"

Jiang Yi rode her Grassland Horse to Zong Shen’s side, dismounted, and greeted Zong Shen proactively.

Zong Shen had just finished the Gem Battle Technique.

His Strength Demon Armor was stained with a lot of black ashes.

His whole body was also emitting a sulfurous smell.

These were traces left from the earlier commotion.

Zong Shen removed his battle helmet, a smile on his face.

The hair on his forehead was curled from the high temperature.

His cheeks were flushed, with a lot of gray-white salt residue remaining.

He first took out a bucket of fresh water, held it with both hands, and tilted his neck back to drink heartily.

"Whew..."

"I’m dying of thirst!"

Zong Shen put away the bucket and wiped the corners of his mouth, making a bold complaint.

Then he began to respond to Jiang Yi.

"Long time no see, Jiang Yi."

"You’ve been doing well, haven’t you?"

He grinned, his eyes sweeping over Jiang Yi’s equipment.

Compared to Jiang Yi’s politeness, he was much more generous.

Because of his thirst, his voice was a bit hoarse.

However, this didn’t diminish his aura; instead, it made his blood-and-fire warrior demeanor even more intense.

Between Jiang Yi and him, there was not only a difference in legion rank but also in strength.

In fact, among all the Lords.

Besides Zong Ze, only Jiang Yi knew him the best.

Even reincarnator Chen Rui had to fall back a little.

After all, Chen Rui’s information came from memories of the previous life.

And in the previous life, he had never even heard of Zong Shen’s name.

Let alone actually understand him.

In fact, most of the information Chen Rui mastered was based on the Territory Level Ranking.

Many things were through his own speculation and deduction.

So Jiang Yi held a very special position for Zong Shen.

She was also the first "little brother" Zong Shen attempted to recruit among the Lords.

Later, she also became the proxy for the Guides Corps.

Regarding Zong Shen’s attitude, Jiang Yi didn’t mind.

She maintained a warm smile on her face at all times.

Even looking somewhat fawning.

Precisely because she understood, she felt fearful.

Moreover, during this time, she also received numerous favors from Zong Shen.

This assistance allowed her territory to develop smoothly.

While Zong Shen was busy rushing around, she didn’t remain idle either.

She explored a small relic to the south of the area.

That relic was part of the Azshara City ruins.

The threshold for exploration was relatively low, with no complex obstacles or powerful monsters.

However, the rewards were also relatively average.

Of course, "average" is from Zong Shen’s perspective.

Since his expectations were already quite high.

But for Jiang Yi, the gains from the relic were satisfying enough.

Furthermore, a few days ago, she received a group of refugees in the wilderness.

The group consisted of seventy to eighty individuals.

Among them was a person with Hero Talent.

This group of refugees reportedly came from the neighboring Bang City to the south.

They were readily accepted by Jiang Yi and converted into subjects of her territory.

These are her major personal events recently.

It’s not just Zong Shen who is keeping up with development; everyone is making steady progress at different speeds.

"Commander, the remaining members are on their way."

"After you issued the command to all, I verified each one individually."

"Allowed those unwilling to participate to voluntarily withdraw from the corps."

"Please issue the next instructions."

Jiang Yi slightly bowed, humbling her posture significantly.

It’s been nearly a month since they landed.

Everyone has basically adapted to the life and habits of the Otherworld.

To this, Zong Shen merely waved his hand.

"Alright, I have no orders to issue."

"Everyone is free to attack."

"Pay attention to the intermittent magma sprays from that thing."

"Moreover, unless there’s something special, it’s best not to get close to the Flame Demon."

"I won’t say much about other issues, as previous announcements have been quite clear."

"Keep a close eye on its remaining blood volume."

"I don’t wish to see any casualties among us."

Zong Shen summarized the key points to pay attention to.

Don’t be misled by the fact that the legion members around him were leading warriors into attack formations.

However, when he opened his mouth, nearly all the Lords of the legion pricked up their ears.

They strained to hear what he was saying in the noisy environment.

Upon hearing Zong Shen’s words, Jiang Yi nodded slightly.

After he finished his instructions, she greeted him once again.

Then, she drew out the dual swords at her side and commanded her Ranged Warriors to launch an orderly attack.
