Chapter 973:
Somethings coming through the portal!
A massive object!
Despite being only a small portal, barely taller than a person, an enormous rock the size of a small villa was transported through it. Several individuals with considerable mystical powers used a technique called Imperial Instrument to lift and send this rock through the portal.
At first, they too doubted that such a massive meteorite could fit through such a small gateway. However, the two captains who opened the portal assured them confidently that anything could pass through, regardless of its size. To their surprise, it actually worked.
With a thunderous BOOM, the meteorite landed on a hill behind the church. Then a large group of martial artists stepped out from the portal, looking around curiously. Incredible! Who wouldve thought such a large rock could pass through this small gate, they marveled.
Western magic indeed has its own unique attributes! But its different from our Eastern cultivation methods.
Eastern cultivation may be more powerful, but when it comes to diverse and practical techniques, magic is more convenient.
These people continued their discussions until they noticed Robb, sitting not far from them. They quickly straightened themselves and paid their respects with a bow. Its always best to show deference in the presence of a great master, they thought.
Robb smiled and said, Thank you all for helping me transport the rock.
The master cultivators quickly replied, It was a trivial matter! Also, weve brought you the jade and various other gemstones and spiritual stones you needed.
Robb couldnt help but ask, I havent been overseeing the Eastern matters for over a year; how are things going with the ghost pirates?
The masters chuckled, The threat of the ghost pirates has been largely quelled. The government has dispatched a Commander surnamed Qi, who has driven the main forces of the ghost pirates into hiding. Moreover, weve been assisting the authorities in dealing with stray bands of these pirates. The leader of the Eighteen Divinations sect, who was pardoned by the government, is now a guerrilla commander for Big Tang, effectively driving the ghost pirates from our shores.
Robb acknowledged this with a thoughtful Oh.
If Big Tang is at peace, then we should be able to allocate more masters to deal with the Black Dragon, said the Shaolin monk earnestly. This time, East and West must join forces to eradicate this great evil.
Robb smiled, Excellent! Lets unite our efforts. I was already racking my brain over equipment allocation; now that we have this meteorite, I feel a lot better about it.
He then took out a crystal ball and dialed the Queens number, as well as the Hero Kings: Hello, Hero King, come on over!
Right, I should also tell the Sphinx: Lion-dog, its time to work.
I am not a lion-dog, I am a Sphinx.
Close enough.
Its not even close.
At this moment, the power of the entire world has truly gathered. Lets go!
Onward! The whole world seemed to echo with the sound of the advance. All the cities, all the heroes, all the warriors were converging on the Jinghong Mountains.
Trains from the sprawling railway network across the Kingdom of Gran brought powerful warriors and magicians, while heroes from the Kingdom of Norma and Desert Kingdom galloped in on war horses.
Immediately, a large army gathered at the edge of the Jinghong Mountains. Everyone understood, of course, that the summit had limited space. Only the strongest among them could climb to the top to slay the Black Dragon; others would likely offer support from the lower slopes.
In fact, the best place to fight the Black Dragon would be when it attacks a citymore space to deploy troops. However, no one knows which city it would target next or if they could arrive there in time. Therefore, the best plan was to attack it while its still in its lair.
Robb stood at the forefront of the army, waving a roster in his hand. Now, he proclaimed, those whose names I call, step forward to receive the gear Ive prepared. You are the strongest individuals I acknowledge, and you have earned the honor of fighting the Black Dragon first.
The crowd was buzzing with excitement, their tension palpable.
Being acknowledged by Godfather and joining the campaign against the Black Dragon was indeed an unparalleled honor. A story worth boasting about for generations.
However, Robb added, I must remind you all: even though we are well-prepared, we cant guarantee a 100% chance of success. Many of you will die.
A look of contempt crossed the faces in the crowd: Death is but a small matter.
Robb continued, Of course, I can resurrect you. No one here fears death. But have you considered what happens if I die?
No one retreated. Those who stood here today were neither weak nor cowardly.
The Hero King stood up and declared, If Godfather dies, then let us die alongside you! Even in death, our bravery in standing up against the Black Dragon today will be recorded in history. Isnt the purpose of life to leave a mark on history? Whether in death or life after this battle, I have already written my epic. Theres nothing to regret.
The crowd burst into applause. Indeed, the King of Heroes was a man deserving of respect.
Robb smiled, Well said! I respect you as a real man. Now, lets announce the core team members for slaying the Black Dragon.
Robb continued loudly, Queen of the Kingdom of Gran, a magician of Earth and Spirit magicElizabeth VII! You will serve as the DPS in the team.
The first name called was none other than the Queen.
She stepped forward without hesitation, standing next to Robb. Robb handed her a set of pre-prepared gear.
With a smile that could captivate anyone, the Queen said, This time, youve finally got it right, not calling me Elizabeth VI or Elizabeth VIII.
Robb replied, Thats because I didnt make the list; Im just reading from it.
