Chapter 861 (2/2)
Mu Chen looked at their faces, scratched his head, and said, “There are a lot of drawbacks to this. If you are not satisfied with it, then we can forget about it…”
“No!”
Lord Mountain Cracker, Lord Spiritual Sword, and Lord Hongya shouted in unison. As soon as they spoke, they looked at each other in dismay. Lord Mountain Cracker laughed and said, “Lord Mu is too modest. Although the Pseudo Spirit of Fighting Intent is not as miraculous as the true Spirit of Fighting Intent, I am afraid no army would forgo such treasures. Thus, I would have to trouble Lord Mu to assist our three armies, too.”
Lord Hongya, who was usually silent, also clasped his fists and said, “This kindness will be remembered in our hearts. If Lord Mu needs anything in future, do let us know.”
Mu Chen waved his hand and said, “It is natural that all of us should help each other as members of Daluo Territory. If the three lords are willing, I will try my best to condense the Spirit of Fighting Intent for your armies over the next two days. But I also have a request and need your consent.”
“Lord Mu, please!”
“I just want to borrow some of your troops at critical moments,” Mu Chen said, smiling.
Mu Chen now knew that he could resonate with other armies. That is, he could control other armies’ fighting intent at a critical moment. Of course, it must be with the consent of the four lords, who would be recognized by the warriors of the four armies, and then he could put them under his control. After all, some of the troops were neither Nine Nether’s nor belonged to him.
The lords looked at each other with a smile and said, “No problem, and I think if we did reach that point, we would all be in danger. So long as Lord Mu has the ability, our armies would be in your control.”
They also agreed readily because they knew that Mu Chen could only borrow their troops, and could not take them away. After all, these troops were trained by their hard work, and the soldiers only obeyed their orders. As long as they refused, no matter how brilliant Mu Chen was at controlling fighting intent, he could not trick them and take control over their armies.
Thus, at that time, handing over control of their armies to Mu Chen was also in their scope of acceptance. In any case, they could treat it as reciprocity towards Mu Chen, who helped them condense the Pseudo Spirit of Fighting Intent.
When Mu Chen saw their agreement, he smiled and nodded. He really didn’t have any other ulterior motives. He just wanted to take control of the other troops at the critical moment and improve their combat effectiveness.
Since he became aware of the fact that among other top forces, they also had a prodigy of fighting intent who could condense the Spirit of Fighting Intent, he had increased his vigilance. After all, the Nine Nether Troop had developed rapidly this year, but there was still some shortage in its number and scale. Generally speaking, much of the strength of the Spirit of Fighting Intent depended on the size of the armies on both sides.
However, at a time like this, it was clear that there was no chance of expansion for the Nine Nether Troop, and that the army could not be trained to be more skillful in a short period of time, so Mu Chen had to turn his mind to the elite armies of the other lords.
Although it may have seemed more difficult and troublesome to control other troops, there was obviously no other way for Mu Chen. In this crisis-ridden battlefield, one had to depend on oneself for everything.
Mu Chen looked at the crowd and said, “During the next two days we will slow down a little in our search for relics so that I can condense the Spirit of Fighting Intent for the other three armies. Then we will continue our search.”
Lord Mountain Cracker nodded and paused before stating, “I have received news regarding the prodigy of fighting intent from Tian Xuan Hall.”
Mu Chen’s gaze turned somber upon hearing this.
“That guy has a reputation in the Meteorfall Battlefield lately, because all who encounter his forces are ultimately massacred, and less than ten percent managed to escape alive…”
Lord Mountain Cracker turned to Mu Chen and said, “According to our information, this guy seems to be looking for you.”
“Tian Xuan Hall is it…”
Mu Chen’s gaze was calm, and he nodded slightly. He had a deep grudge with Tian Xuan Hall. Since the man hailed from there, it was no wonder that he would come out to deal with Mu Chen.
“In addition… We also got news that the prodigy of fighting intent from the Divine Pavilion managed to defeat many elite first-class troops recently. According to my instincts, it is very likely that they are coming for you.”
Mu Chen’s eyebrows knitted together in a frown. Getting targeted by two prodigies of fighting intent was troublesome indeed but…
Phew.
Mu Chen breathed softly, laughing faintly, but confidence surged in his calm voice, which made people look askance.
“If they are really coming for me, it’s up to them. I don’t mind letting them know what it’s like to fail.”
Over the years, he had seen too many brilliant geniuses, but he had never been afraid. He never was and never would be.
