Chapter 1664 - 1629: I'll Deploy Another 100,000 Troops

"What about this new Divine Hall Elder?"

Thanos Saint's gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Yang Xiao.

At this moment, Yang Xiao was kneeling in front with North Heavenly Demon and others. Thanos knew all ten Divine Hall Elders, but this Yang Xiao was an unfamiliar face, so he naturally guessed that Yang Xiao was the newly appointed Divine Hall Elder.

Thanos perceived a special aura from Yang Xiao and couldn't help but feel slightly moved inside.

Yang Xiao stepped forward and bowed to Thanos Saint, saying:

"I am Yang Xiao, paying respects to Great Chief Thanos Saint. I wish the Great Chief good health and eternal life!"

Thanos Saint looked at Yang Xiao, remained silent for a moment, and then asked in a deep voice:

"I heard you unified the Central Continent and established the Central Continent Empire. That's quite an achievement!"

"Thanks to the Great Chief's blessing, I am merely managing the Central Continent for the Great Chief. It was the people of the Central Continent who, out of gratitude for the Great Chief's kindness, reluctantly accepted me as the Great Chief's representative to help them."

"Haha, how modest!"

Thanos Saint laughed heartily,

"You are called Yang Xiao, a descendant of which tribe?"

"In response to the Great Chief, Yang Xiao's parents passed away when he was young, leaving him an orphan who does not know his own tribal origins. However, I believe it doesn't matter which tribe, as all people on Dwarf Star are the Great Chief's subjects."

"Heh, you are quite eloquent, no wonder Qing Liu is fond of you. Where is Qing Liu now?"

Yang Xiao was taken aback, realizing that although Thanos Saint had been in seclusion cultivating on the Divine Mountain, his intelligence network was very advanced, as he was already aware of Yang Xiao's relationship with Xiao Qingliu.

"In response to the Great Chief, Qing Liu is currently in Shendu College."

Thanos Saint nodded,

"Hmm, another day when I have time, I'll invite you and Xiao Qingliu to a meal."

Ying Tianmo and others, upon hearing this, looked at Yang Xiao with shock, their eyes filled with envy and jealousy.

Thanos Saint rarely invites subordinates to dinner, especially in front of so many people, inviting Yang Xiao. Clearly, Thanos Saint regarded Yang Xiao as Xiao Qingliu's boyfriend, hence the special relationship.

Currently, Thanos Saint's physical body is that of Xiao Qingliu's father through a body-seizing process, making them, biologically speaking, father and daughter.

Moreover, part of Xiao Qingliu's father's consciousness resides within Thanos Saint, adding a level of sentiment towards Xiao Qingliu.

Yang Xiao immediately said:

"Thank you, Great Chief!"

Thanos Saint turned his head to Ying Tianmo, saying:

"Ying Tianmo, Lei Tianmo, North Heavenly Demon, listen to my command!"

The three of them immediately stepped forward and knelt before Thanos Saint.

"Starting now, I order you three to lead the Divine Hall Council Elders, form a temporary combat readiness group, and prepare logistics for the attack on Witch Star. In three months, I will personally lead an army of one million to invade Witch Star. Understood?"

"Yes, we will definitely fulfill the Great Chief's decree."

"Hmm, I just came out of seclusion and am a bit tired. I will return to my residence in the Divine City. If you need anything, you can come directly to my residence."

"Yes, Great Chief!"

Thanos Saint nodded to the two Golden Armor Guards, leapt into the air, and flew towards the distance.

The two Golden Armor Guards, followed by dozens of guards, swiftly followed after him.

Ying Tianmo and the others stood up, watching Thanos Saint's departing figure, and bowed together, saying:

"Farewell, Great Chief!"

It wasn't until Thanos Saint's figure disappeared completely that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

North Heavenly Demon looked at Ying Tianmo anxiously and said:

"Ying Tianmo, what are we going to do? The Great Chief demands that we recruit 500,000 troops in three months. Where can we find so many people?"

Although Dwarf Star has a large population, in recent years, the war with Witch Star had already sent over a million Empire Level Advanced Realm Evolvers. Now to send more is increasingly stressful for everyone.

For all tribes, Empire Level Advanced Realm Evolvers are rare talents, and none are willing to send them out without consideration.

Moreover, many troops have already been dispatched, so where to quickly find such powerful superhuman forces?

Ying Tianmo looked at Yang Xiao and said:

"Yang brother, what is your opinion?"

Yang Xiao smiled and said:

"The Great Chief has given an order, can we defy it? I will follow your arrangements, however..."

Yang Xiao deliberately paused.

Lei Tianmo, being impulsive, said:

"Oh come on, Elder Yang, stop keeping us in suspense and just speak."

Yang Xiao smiled:

"I didn't hear the Great Chief specifically ask for Empire Level Advanced Realm super Evolvers, did you?"

Everyone froze and shook their heads.

North Heavenly Demon slapped his forehead in realization and said:

"Yang brother means we can recruit Empire Middle Level Realm and even Empire Level Primary Level Realm Evolvers, right?"

"It's not my idea; I just didn't hear the Great Chief specify Empire Level Advanced Evolvers. Isn't that what the Great Chief meant?"

Everyone nodded, relieving their tension.

Ying Tianmo said:

"If we recruit Empire Middle Level Realm and Primary Level Realm Evolvers, assembling 500,000 should be easy. So, how about this: we, the eleven major tribes, each contribute 30,000, totaling 330,000. The remaining 170,000 will be sourced from other tribes. How about it?"

"Our Central Continent Empire can provide an additional 100,000 troops."

Everyone was stunned, looking at Yang Xiao.

North Heavenly Demon said in a low voice:

"Yang brother, you've already sent 200,000 troops, and now another 100,000 makes it 300,000. Even with the strength of your Central Continent Empire, this will greatly deplete your resources."

"Haha, it's nothing. It's all for the Great Chief, so what does it matter? Isn't the Central Continent Empire also the Great Chief's?"

Yang Xiao's generous and bold attitude in serving the Great Chief deeply touched Ying Tianmo and the others.

Yang Xiao's straightforwardness and his focus on the greater good are truly exceptional qualities.

"Alright, since Elder Yang is willing to provide another 100,000 troops, let's respect his decision. The remaining 400,000 will be divided among the four of our tribes at 25,000 each, and the remaining 150,000 will be shared by the smaller tribes. How does that sound?"

Everyone naturally nodded in agreement.

Previously, Yang Xiao's deployment of 200,000 troops had already saved the ten major tribes 100,000, and now with another 100,000 from Yang Xiao, each tribe feels grateful to him for the additional saving of resources.

Lei Tianmo, grasping Yang Xiao's hand with excitement, said,

"Elder Yang, how can we express our admiration for you? There's just one word: respect!"

Yang Xiao paused for a moment, realizing it was indeed two words.

Everyone around burst into laughter.
