Chapter 2624: So Passionate! Confidence!
Moon, Silver Moon City!
This place has already become so prosperous it looks nothing like its former self, with towering skyscrapers everywhere, having transformed into a city of science and technology!
Looking from afar, one can faintly see the sky-piercing Moon Laurel Silver Vine standing tall, no longer the desolate appearance of the past!
And the only thing unchanged is the statue of Jiangnan’s Moon Exploration Team at the center of Silver Moon City’s Silver Moon Plaza, still standing tall!
Silver Moon City is the first city humanity jointly established in the starry sky!
It represents humanity’s first step into the starry sky and is highly commemorative!
Even now, as humanity’s footprints have spread across the Milky Way Star Domain, the burning passion in their hearts when they set foot on the moon and personally built Silver Moon City remains unchanged!
Today, the moon has long turned blue, but the city’s name has not changed.
Is it also to commemorate that silver moon that will never return?
And at this moment, on Silver Moon Plaza, a million-strong army of Spirit Martial warriors is gathered, arrayed in neat and orderly ranks, their hearts burning with fervor!
In the coming period, they will represent humanity on an expedition, conquering the starry sky!
For everyone, this is supreme glory!
To fight alongside the Southern God is something they never dared to dream of, and now it is about to become reality!
And they heard that the Southern God would come to speak later, filling everyone with great anticipation!
Just then, a spatial fluctuation flickered, and Jiangnan and Wang Youzhi’s figures suddenly appeared in front of the podium on Silver Moon Plaza!
Yang Jian had been waiting here for a long time. As soon as he saw Jiangnan, his face darkened. He also couldn’t figure out how Jiangnan managed to pull off that sudden thunder-clap and the deity’s vulgar words just now!
But he had long stopped being surprised by such things!
As Jiangnan arrived, no one spoke. The entire Triumph Group Army stood in unison, bodies straight as rods, looking like they were waiting to be addressed, but the fire in their eyes could not be hidden!
Yang Jian rubbed his nose:
(٥͡°ก͡°) “That’s all of them. What do you think? We’ve practically scoured humanity clean and barely scraped together this many…”
“Mostly Dao Heaven and Star Glory levels. Anything lower won’t work—the gap with Diamond is too big, and they can’t make it on the starry sky battlefield!”
Jiangnan looked a little surprised: (*ﾟﾛﾟ) “That many? More than I expected. Not bad, not bad~”
But Yang Jian covered his forehead with some shame.
(ﾉ)´-﹏-`)
Not bad my ass! Stop comforting me!
Such a small number? Probably less than the reconnaissance company of some insect race!
And the levels…
It couldn’t be helped. Humanity had experienced the World Purification Plan, and the population had been slashed by nearly half, leaving only three or four billion!
Although the crisis was later resolved, humanity stepped into the starry sky, obtained sequence qualifications, and the situation improved. People have been frantically making babies!
But even now, the population base has only just broken through the ten-billion mark, and most of the new additions are newborns who haven’t grown up yet!
To usher in explosive population growth, time is needed!
However, humanity’s cultivation conditions have become incredibly good, no longer like the old days!
Maybe the number of Transcendents isn’t very high, but it’s really true that Star Glory cultivators are everywhere, and Dao Heaven cultivators are as common as dogs!
But Jiangnan didn’t expect to gather so many Star Glory and Dao Heaven cultivators!
Yang Jian smiled bitterly: “It’s like this. Star Glory and Dao Heaven aren’t fully adapted to the starry sky environment, but with advanced technological support and equipped with weapons and armor, survival and combat are not a problem!”
“Also, everyone has contracted a dimension creature, so they can attack or retreat, which provides some guarantee!”
But compared to the major races, this Triumph Group Army humanity has assembled is not just a little weak—they are outnumbered, out-leveled, and outmatched in strength…
It’s conceivable that if the Triumph Group Army enters the Star Sea, with their scale and strength, they probably won’t even make a splash and will be ground into the dirt!
But Jiangnan never expected the Triumph Group Army to contribute much; he just brought them up for training!
Being exposed to starry sky affairs early, familiarizing themselves with space combat, and honing their fighting skills—all of this is beneficial without any harm!
They might not be impressive now, but what if all one million of the Triumph Group Army become Transcendents?
Imagine what a spectacular sight that would be!
Maybe in others’ eyes, bringing these people to the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle battlefield is just sending them to their deaths!
But since Jiangnan chose to bring them, he has the confidence to bring them back!
The Netherworld race is the backbone!
At this moment, the Triumph Group Army, listening to Yang Jian and Jiangnan’s conversation, also felt somewhat ashamed!
They knew the situation in the starry sky. How could they not be clear that they were not up to par?
In the Cosmos Grand Hunt, the Southern God and his team performed so brilliantly, shining across the starry sky. But when it came to the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle, when everyone needed to contribute…
This was all they had. Even though everyone had worked hard in cultivation, wanting to be useful!
But the reality was right in front of them. The gap in foundation between them and the major races couldn’t be closed in a short time!
The Triumph Group Army lowered their heads in shame, hating that their levels weren’t high enough!
But Jiangnan still smiled. Wasn’t this the perfect moment to try out the functions of the War Horn?
Only by knowing its effects and usage in advance could it be used effectively in battle!
Wang Youzhi, who was beside him, was also curious about what magical functions this big horn had besides amplifying sound!
Jiangnan then looked around the venue. He saw Xiao Zhen, Mo Tian, and other seniors in the Triumph Group Army, as well as Qin Shou, Qi Yu, Ye Xinghe, Yu Qingqing, and other old classmates!
Even the Bad Beast Group, MC Big White Goose, and A Tang were among them!
Jiangnan cleared his throat, raised the War Horn, and switched it to war mode!
As soon as he switched, he was stunned for a moment. So it had a range selection function?
In war mode, only selected personnel could receive buffs or debuffs?
So convenient!
Then Jiangnan pointed the horn’s opening at the one million Triumph Group Army and selected them all!
Everyone was stunned. What was going on?
With the Southern God’s strength, why would he need a loudspeaker to speak? Wasn’t that like taking off pants to fart?
Then they heard Jiangnan say:
Σ(((＞(°᷄口°᷅ꐦ) “All of you! Raise your heads! Look at me! Why are you lowering your heads? Because you feel ashamed? Because the starry sky races are too strong? Because you think you’re not worthy as members of the Triumph Group Army?”
Jiangnan’s words, transmitted through the War Horn, struck deep into their hearts and resounded in their ears!
It seemed to have a particularly direct effect on stirring emotions!
Everyone raised their heads, their eyes dodging. Although they didn’t want to admit it, it was the truth!
Jiangnan squinted: “Are you underestimating yourselves too much? The fact that you stand here today already makes you the best among the ten billion humans!”
“I have already shown the entire starry sky what humans are capable of! Humans are never weaker than any race! In the Cosmos Grand Hunt, our group of over three hundred people wiped out over ten million elites from the starry sky races without a single casualty! We are all humans. If we can do it, why can’t you?”
“We humans fight elites, damn it! Maybe you aren’t strong enough now. But what about the future? You have the potential to surpass any race among the starry sky races! Isn’t that enough?”
The resounding words echoed across the plaza. At that moment, the eyes of everyone in the Triumph Group Army lit up!
Yes! If the Southern God can do it, why can’t everyone else?
Was the potential for human overlordship a joke?
As emotions surged, orange-yellow light began to glow on everyone’s bodies!
Jiangnan’s eyes lit up. Here it comes, here it comes!
“Think of your legion’s name! Triumph Group Army! You are to bring victory to humanity and return in triumph! You are to make the starry sky races see clearly the strength of humanity!”
“You are humanity’s sharp blade. Your task is to cut open the enemy’s throat and drink their blood! I ask you, can you do it? Speak!”
At this moment, the Triumph Group Army on the plaza shouted in unison:
∠(˵¯͒口¯͒˵) “Yes!”
Jiangnan glared:
Σ(((＞(・`口´・ꐦ) “Are you all still asleep? I can’t hear you! Louder! Can you do it?”
The entire Triumph Group Army shouted at the top of their lungs:
∠(˵≥口≤˵) “Yes! Definitely yes!”
And with their roars, emotions were fully ignited!
The light on their bodies converged and directly formed an orange and a red halo above their heads!
The buff effect immediately kicked in!
Ye Xinghe pounded his chest, making a sound like striking iron, his face red as he shouted:
(งᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌)ง⁼³₌₃ “The Southern God and the others already showed off in the Cosmos Grand Hunt! This time, it’s our turn!”
“Hiss—is it just me? I feel like my physical strength has at least tripled!”
Xiao Zhen’s eyes blazed with fighting spirit: “I’m already fired up! This is humanity! We are inferior to no one, never give up, never retreat!”
“I’m so fired up that I want to tear open manhole covers and crack refined gold with my head! I will make my name Xiao Shengxian resound across the starry sky!”
“Hmm? Wait, how did my attack power... increase so much? These halos above our heads...”
Jiangnan’s voice, amplified by the War Horn, became particularly infectious, stirring everyone’s emotions in the Triumph Group Army!
Yang Jian was dumbfounded. What was going on here?
After one speech, he had put two halos on the heads of the million-strong army? They all looked like they had been injected with chicken blood!
Jiangnan was also extremely excited. Wasn’t this happening?
With his encouragement, the Triumph Group Army became confident and passionate. Every time he successfully ignited an emotion, a corresponding buff halo appeared above their heads? Continuous buffs?
A passionate halo buffed attack critical hits? A confident halo buffed physical strength and defense?
Keep in mind that positive emotions aren’t limited to these!
Excitement, happiness, pride, being moved—these were all possible!
If he could hang all of them on them, would there be a spring above their heads?
The Black God was also stunned. Damn! That works?
Not only can it broadcast speeches, but it can also provide group buffs?
This really is a War Horn!
But looking at the extremely confident, fully fired-up Triumph Group Army, Jiangnan’s smile gradually turned devilish!
The functions of the War Horn... weren’t finished being tested yet!
