Crunch—
The doors of the Terracotta Warriors Museum slowly opened, making a grinding sound that made teeth ache, like an ancient painting slowly being unfurled.
Following that came the sound of the powerful and mesmerizing footsteps.
Boom—Boom—Boom!
Every step of the fifty thousand Qin army carried an aura of destruction. Wu Liang and Director Long, leading the advance, felt their eardrums ache from the thunderous sound.
Yet their faces were filled with uncontrollable joy.
These soldiers are truly those who hold the crumbling building, turning the tide of chaos!
Besides General Bai Qi of Qin, whom they had already seen, four others were riding on horseback with stern faces, marching side by side.
They were Li Xin, Meng Tian, and the father and son Wang Jian and Wang Ben, all famous generals of history! Now they could march together!
"Young Master Long, where do these fifty thousand soldiers head to? Please give the order!" Bai Qi asked, cupping his fist in salute.
Director Long turned around to look at the mighty Great Qin army behind him, each carrying weapons or crossbows capable of harming the Red Robe.
With a grand gesture, a transparent mirror about five meters high and tens of meters wide appeared at the front of the museum entrance. Up close, faint ripples like those on a lake surface could be seen on its surface.
"The army will first pass through this space barrier, instantly reaching the Capital City. I ask the five generals to wait a moment. I will notify the officials before I trouble you to clear out the Fierce Ghosts throughout the city."
"Then, using the Capital City as the center, the army will split into five paths spreading across the country, cleansing every city they pass through and leaving soldiers behind to help guard them."
"The number of soldiers each city needs will be adjusted and distributed tonight according to the awakening forces in each area. We plan to clear the nation within ten days!"
Director Long's voice was strong and commanding.
He had considered all this while waiting for the army to be ready after consuming the Immortal Pill of Undying.
Once the Qin soldiers guarded each city, the officials would then gather the newly Awakened, like registering residents, making files for each and creating training camps to help them quickly master their powers to face the Supernatural Calamity.
Of course, their character and temperament must be tested, which would require Professor Guo's mental scan device!
It was the device that Wu Liang encountered the first time he went to the Capital City, when Professor Guo asked him to visualize an object, he recreated the Ghost Compendium and detected anomalies in his memory.
Nowadays, Professor Guo had refined the earlier design.
Now, Awakened or Symbionts no longer needed to visualize objects themselves; it could directly scan and detect objects that matched their mental intent.
For example, a blood-dripping knife revealed that a person harbored violent and bloody desires; books or pencils indicated a desire for knowledge, etc.
Though it couldn't yet ensure complete precision in assessing a person's essence.
At least those who manifested weapons or some monstrous image wouldn't inherently be good.
This device would soon become a necessary step for everyone entering the training camp in the future!
"Yes! The army of Great Qin, follow my direction! March forward!"
"Face the national crisis together! Face the national crisis together!"
With several generals pointing their swords forward, the entire army advanced smoothly as one, entering the unknown flowing mirror image.
Wu Liang watched Director Long's handiwork from the sidelines, marveling at how amazing he was after taking the pill.
He effectively opened a stable two-way space portal between Capital City and Chang'an, sufficiently supporting fifty thousand Qin army crossing without any issues.
It was far more impressive than when he initially carried out a space jump to Chang'an with him.
Even though Wu Liang hadn't sensed Director Long's aura rising from City-Destroying Level to Nation-Destroying Level, he could clearly see that his abilities had greatly enhanced.
Moreover, this enhancement seemed to be steadily growing, with the drug effect not yet fully absorbed, likely requiring another ten days or so.
We'll see how things turn out then.
The army moved rapidly, and soon everyone had entered the space portal, leaving only Director Long and Wu Liang outside.
"Come on, do I need to invite you?" Director Long quipped, seeing Wu Liang immersed in thought.
However, Wu Liang shook his head and said, "I'm not going. Strategizing and commanding is your duty, not mine. We each have our tasks that must be done, and I need to tend to my own affairs."
Hearing Wu Liang's words, Director Long was initially stunned.
Then he smiled wryly and asked, "Still about the Promised Land? Haven't they been suppressed so thoroughly that they can't cause much trouble anymore?"
Honestly, both from an official leadership perspective and personal concern, Director Long very much wanted Wu Liang to stay in the Capital City to help.
Having someone like him, a nuclear-level presence, guarding the Capital City would ease the burden on his shoulders considerably.
"The Promised Land organization is nothing to worry about; the biggest issue is still the Pioneer. The threat isn't from thieves stealing, but from thieves plotting. As long as he lives, human civilization faces threats beyond natural disasters." Wu Liang said with the same helplessness.
