Chapter 1034: Chapter 686: The 7th Expeditionary Group Army

When Li Changhe returned to the well, he discovered a strange change in the water level.

As he climbed out, he saw a group of Chenhai soldiers shivering and huddling around a fire for warmth in the courtyard.

They were clearly severely frozen.

Among them, Li Changhe also noticed a few warriors with bruised and swollen faces.

Particularly Yang Ming and the Thousand Cattle Guard soldier, Wu Jie.

How they managed to get their faces so bruised and swollen was anyone’s guess, but it was severe.

Theoretically, with their helmets on, the armored warriors shouldn’t have been able to injure their faces.

And the courtyard was damp, as if a torrential rain had just passed through.

"What happened to you all..." Li Changhe approached with surprise and asked, "What’s going on? Did you encounter water ghosts on your way back? That shouldn’t be, they should have been scared witless by now."

The underground river was connected to an inland lake, which resulted in a large number of water ghosts.

Although Li Changhe had eliminated a group before, he could not guarantee the safety of the waterways.

However, upon Li Changhe’s return, he hadn’t found any new signs of battle. Moreover, these guys only had some cosmetic damage on their faces, and no one was injured.

The soldiers collectively remained silent and saluted Li Changhe; it was hard for them to start explaining.

When they sent their greetings to the second and third ladies.

The temperature around them suddenly dropped by more than a dozen degrees.

Then, they were collectively grabbed by a pair of giant water hands that emerged from the well and were given over thirty consecutive slaps on their ears.

"General, so... you only have one wife?" Yang Ming finally understood and asked quietly, realizing it was a misconception.

In Chenhai, as in the Great Tang, it was customary for nobles to have three wives and four concubines. Some even had so many they created their own tribe.

As a result, they unilaterally assumed that a person of General Li Ba’s status would be the same.

Together with the incidents involving Jindeng and the misunderstandings at the inn.

The soldiers mistook Chen Yu and Qiu Wentian for the general’s wives.

The outcome was clear; they had guessed wrong. Yang Ming and Wu Jie, the ringleaders, got covered in muck.

"Indeed. Haven’t you already met her?" Li Changhe touched his chin, feeling that something was off, and his voice cracked as he asked, "Wait, what did you do?"

Li Changhe suddenly had a sense of impending disaster, the last time being when he almost got ganged up on by Brother Dong.

"They greeted the so-called second and third ladies," Xiao Nan laughed from the second-floor corridor of the inn, looking down at Li Changhe, "You really are imposing, General Li Ba~ Come up, I have something to discuss with you."

Xiao Nan’s smile carried an unusual edge, with the habitual rubbing of her thumb and index finger.

This made Li Changhe’s heart skip a beat.

Fuck, I’m dead! Li Changhe thought; these guys have screwed me over!

If it were his own apartment, Li Changhe would naturally be overjoyed at Xiao Nan’s invitation.

But at this moment... uh... Li Changhe felt a tiny bit panicky.

"No, no, no, you’ve got it all wrong! You need to hear me out; I don’t know anything about this!" Li Changhe shook his head frantically, then kicked Yang Ming in the leg and said, "You’re ruining my reputation; go and apologize now! Chen Yu, Old Qiu! Are you two trying to trap me here?"

"As long as the misunderstanding is cleared up, it’s fine. They saluted as soon as they arrived, what could I do?" Qiu Wentian was enjoying the spectacle, laughing heartily.

Chen Yu, standing next to her, nodded slightly in agreement before continuing to search for information in the Dream of the Three-Armed Girl.

However, this did not prevent Li Changhe from facing his impending fate.

Li Changhe could only mentally grumble about these guys as he made his way back to his room, step by step.

Once back in the room, Li Changhe was pressed against the wall by Xiao Nan, with the girl’s eyes firmly fixed on him. It seemed she was trying to discern something from his eyes.

"It’s really a misunderstanding, oh great heavens," Li Changhe whispered in explanation, his arms encircling the girl’s slender waist. "I’m even more wronged than Dou E. You have to believe me."

"I know, I of course believe you..." Xiao Nan murmured. They had known and understood each other for most of their lives and would accompany each other in the years to come. Naturally, she would not doubt Li Changhe. But...

"Still, you really do have a heavy burden of sin," Xiao Nan whispered, then brought her small face close. Her soft pink lips parted gently, biting down on Li Changhe’s lips, "I must punish you a little..."

"Hiss... it hurts, it hurts,"

....

’The lord returned with a mask on at that time, he said that he signed many unequal treaties to keep us safe! His tone was extremely forlorn,’ a warrior in armor recalled afterward. ’This also made us realize that the lord indeed was afraid... er, respected his lady greatly!’

A few minutes later, Li Changhe, who left the room, was donning the Mountain Pattern Armor and wearing the Azure Flame mask, fully armed, appearing in the Chenhai team’s room. Seated upon the Bronze Throne.

Yang Ming and Wu Jie also put on their helmets, fully armored, standing on both sides of the throne like the guard of an emperor.

They exuded a very strong presence. Of course, if their face guards were removed, it would be a completely different scene.

Li Changhe licked the wound on his lips, sucking in cool air from the pain. He then said to Guo Yi, "Let’s begin."

"Yes, General," Guo Yi, with his own swollen nose and bruised face, nodded. He stood up opposite the Bronze Throne, setting up that ink painting and the short flag.

As the short flag was erected, Extraordinary Cause and Effect activated like radio waves.

The unique causal communication technology connected to the entire Chenhai Empire, linked to the whole Chenhai Continent, and reached every armored warrior’s group.

"Come to my side and fight the insect god with me!"

Li Changhe’s deep voice rose, and after a few breaths, this unfamiliar command under the second Sequence Permissions echoed within the lonely communication channel.

It reverberated within the palaces of Chenhai, echoed through the tightly-guarded camps, between the silent mountains, over ships surging across the sea,

A resounding call in the ears of every armored warrior!

Unbeknownst to all, on this quiet night, countless armored warriors were startled awake.

Some were warriors of the Chenhai Empire, others were dissidents in exile, and some were veterans of the slumbering Expeditionary Army!

In a small nation’s city, a shop owner with a face full of flesh was closing up his shop.

Suddenly, his body trembled. It was not an illusion; he heard a voice coming from the woodshed!

His trembling hands pushed open the woodshed, toppling the neatly stacked wood.

Looking at the pile of wood, his eyes flickered with an azure light from the steaming armor. Tears streamed down his face...

Similar scenes unfolded across the continent.

At the same time, within a Chenhai Empire camp, the Auxiliary Army soldiers guarding the site were terrified to discover that the slumbering warriors they were watching over were all waking up.

One by one, the metallic chamber doors opened, and armored warriors arose from their thirty-year slumber!

"Seventh Expeditionary Group Army, Right Brave Guard Fourth Battalion, receives the order! Make haste toward Xuan City!"

"Seventh Expeditionary Group Army, Left Martial Guard Second Battalion, receives the order! Welcome back, General Li Ba!"

"Seventh Expeditionary Group Army, Right Leading Guard Fifth Battalion, receives the order! We will gather by the general’s side to fight the insect god with him!"

After thirty years of being disbanded, put to sleep, and dispatched,

The Seventh Expeditionary Group Army

Awoke tonight!
