Chapter 145 - 144: Deep Dive_1
"People from the Divine Court of the Light God?"
The sudden retreat of the Sand Scorpion tribe left the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty startled, then excited. They had finally won this battle.
Compared to the ordinary soldiers’ excitement, Zhao Yun, Lv Bu, Bai Qi, and Wang Jian were not overly joyous. They watched the Flying Boats of the Divine Court of the Light God, their expressions constantly shifting.
They had anticipated that the Divine Court of the Light God would dispatch troops. However, for the Divine Court to move their army to the front lines without the Qin Empire’s permission was rather presumptuous.
"Let’s hope we aren’t just driving off wolves to welcome tigers and leopards!" Wang Jian muttered to himself.
Under everyone’s gaze, hundreds of Flying Boats hovered above the city. Hatches opened, and troop contingents descended one by one. All were clad in white armor, wielding battle weapons that shimmered with a precious glow.
"Gasp! They’re all equipped with spirit weapons! Isn’t that too extravagant?" one of the Qin commanders gasped, his eyes wide with admiration. Good equipment could play a crucial role on the battlefield, potentially saving a life at a critical moment.
After Qin Wudao’s ascension, he had also emphasized armament development. However, due to a lack of talent and a scarcity of resources, the spirit weapons produced were only enough to equip the generals. Ordinary soldiers still used common weaponry.
"By order of the Divine Emperor, we are here to assist the Qin Empire in repelling the Sand Scorpion tribe’s invasion! You lot, go prepare an encampment!" a Divine Army commander stepped forward and ordered arrogantly, his tone like that of a master commanding household servants.
"Do you possess a state credential?" Wang Jian asked in a deep voice.
"State credential?" The Divine Gate commander paused, then reacted with a scornful sneer. "The very name ’Divine Court of the Light God’ *is* our state credential! In the surrounding domains, who would dare obstruct us wherever we choose to go?"
