Chapter 966 - 53: Old-School Trump Card, A New Opportunity for the Crusade

Within the same tier, attempting to single-handedly defeat a Giant Dragon is exceedingly challenging.

However, Zong Shen can certainly lead his warriors.

And meticulously prepare some items with control effects.

It should be sufficient to deal with the Giant Dragon!

Jiang Yi lacks a strategy and doesn’t know much about the Giant Dragons of this world.

She is unaware that Giant Dragons are divided into Solitary Dragons and Lord Dragons.

The followers and clans beneath those Lord Dragons do not idle either.

Her understanding of the Giant Dragon’s strength is only superficial.

But this does not hinder her from making serious analyses and considerations.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yi believes that Zong Shen truly has the potential to subdue the Black Dragon in the Poison Swamp.

She quickens her pace towards Zong Shen while caught up in her musings.

When Jiang Yi arrives before Zong Shen, she tucks away the chaotic thoughts in her mind.

She proactively bows to Zong Shen in salutation.

"Lord Zong."

"I report with forty-two Legion members to you!"

"The remaining Legion members are scattered throughout the regions."

"They are all heading this way."

She routinely reports the gathering of Legion members.

Zong Shen lazily yawns.

"Ptooey!"

He spits out the bitter chewed grass bud from his mouth.

His lips curl into a smile, nodding gently.

Seemingly carefree in demeanor.

Yet Jiang Yi understands well that Zong Shen indeed has this confidence.

"I understand."

"Before the Flame Demon Boss thinks of attacking."

"Hurry and lead the Legion members and warriors to launch an attack."

"It is the best time to acquire points now."

Upon hearing Zong Shen, she wastes no time.

She nods once more in acknowledgment to Zong Shen.

Then returns to the team.

"All members prepare for free attacks!"

Aside from Zong Shen, Jiang Yi has considerable authority within the Legion.

Yet Zong Shen remains indifferent to this.

Nearly ninety-nine percent of Lords joining the Guides Corps.

Do so in pursuit of him, Lord Zong.

As Deputy Legion Commander, Jiang Yi’s strength is decent among Lords in the region.

But compared to Zong Shen, the gap is extensive.

As long as Zong Shen consistently maintains a lead in strength.

He need not worry about Jiang Yi’s betrayal.

Any betrayal has its motives.

With Zong Shen in control of the dominance of power, even if Jiang Yi harbors ulterior motives, it won’t yield consequences.

These Legion members are no fools.

All Lords surviving in this world till now are slick operators.

They know how to choose what best suits their interests.

This world is survival of the fittest, where strength is revered.

Whoever’s fists are mightier, whoever’s head is clearer, is the ruler!

Strength is the foundation of all.

Zong Shen twists his neck, then stands upright.

He casually pulls the Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword stuck in the ground.

During his resting period.

The remaining pool of water near the Flame Demon has been completely evaporated.

The steam has vanished as well.

Its body holds a vast amount of Fire Element.

The Fire Element is the most active and manic among all Magic Elements.

When these Fire Elements reach a certain degree, they appear like red sparks.

Interacting with the outside world, they burst forth a string of sparks.

Simultaneously releasing heat.

Therefore, the Flame Demon Boss itself is akin to a perpetual furnace.

During the previous time, it evaporated all the lake water Zong Shen had released.

This situation was anticipated by Zong Shen.

Hence, he remains calm-faced.

Originally, before this round of the Boss battle, he intended to upgrade the Legion by another level.

Currently, the Legion upgrade requirements are satisfied.

However, he forgot to upgrade the Legion,

But it’s not a big deal.

Since during the challenge period, recruitment isn’t fitting.

After upgrading the Legion, he plans to subject new members to an appropriate review.

And set a strength threshold.

Ensuring priority in recruiting more potential Lords in the region.

He can no longer recklessly recruit, regardless of strength.

Legion members will be his strongest asset in future regional dominance.

And the current Legion members will constitute the backbone and framework of future Legions.

They must possess certain strength.

Thus can bear the heavy responsibility of supporting the Legion’s development.

Zong Shen already has a clear plan and arrangement.

After the Legion upgrades, corresponding positions will open gradually.

He will consider promoting more Legion members to suitable positions.

This will enhance the function of each position, establishing the management layer within the Legion.

Moreover, it acts as a subtle balance against Jiang Yi.

Although he doesn’t worry about Jiang Yi’s betrayal, power balance remains essential.

A complete management layer incites competition awareness, promoting Legion development.

Currently, Zong Shen’s strength starkly differs from ordinary Lords.

He well understands many things, having no need for concern.

Ultimately, wanting to survive safely in this world, the root lies in strength.

With enough strength, he can fear no plots.

Turning hands for clouds, reversing palms for rain, smoothing out any upheavals and waves.

Watching Jiang Yi and company enter within a hundred-meter range of the Flame Demon Boss, leading their warriors in attack.

Zong Shen turns himself to one side, surveys the surroundings.

With the continual increase of arriving Lords at the campaign site.
