【Skill 6 - Exorcism (Active, 60-second cooldown)】

Effect: Immediately purifies all negative statuses upon activation.

Lin Feng's smile deepened. He truly deserved to be a captain, a position that only five thousand elite soldiers could obtain.

Equipped entirely with purple gear and possessing agility awakening, although his strength hasn't yet reached 60, with a large army by his side and the added bonus of a 10,000-strong army formation, he could hold his own even against an orc swordsman.

As far as he knew, orc warriors could not enjoy the bonus from a 10,000-strong army formation.

However, the Qin elite soldiers can do this, which means that on the main battlefield, the actual combat power of the high-ranking officers of the Qin elite soldiers in the formation will far exceed that of the orc units of the same level.

The general selection skill is still too overpowered.

After the four men stepped back, Lin Feng turned his gaze to Meng Yi, Bai Yi, and Bai Er.

"Meng Yi has made outstanding contributions as commander of the Beacon Fire Guard. Bai Yi and Bai Er have also assisted in the command without any oversights. From today onwards, the three of you are promoted to generals of ten thousand men."

The three men stood in front of the formation, their right fists pressed against their chests, and bowed their heads simultaneously.

Lin Feng didn't say much. With another thought, he used his General Selection skill to simultaneously promote the three men to the rank of Ten Thousand Generals.

Three golden lights shone simultaneously, brighter and denser than ever before.

After the light faded, Lin Feng brought up Meng Yi's panel.

After reading it, Lin Feng silently did some mental calculations. After the Terracotta Army was upgraded, the maximum number of troops would reach 500,000.

Fifty generals with ten thousand men each, one hundred colonels, and five hundred generals with one thousand men each.

With this organizational structure laid out, Lin Feng finally understood the meaning of the saying: Invincibility is truly a kind of loneliness.

He suppressed a smile and glanced at the audience: "Fight bravely against the enemy, and you too will have the opportunity to be promoted."

Five thousand voices erupted simultaneously: "Beacon fire! Beacon fire! Beacon fire!"

The shouts rose higher and higher, echoing over the training ground for a long time before slowly subsiding.

Lin Feng raised his hand to indicate the end, then turned to look at General Meng Yi: "Now, depart. Target: West Gate."

He pushed off with his feet, and his body soared into the air. Meng Yi, Bai Yi to Bai Liu followed closely behind, the eight figures forming a sharp arrowhead shape, flying towards the west gate.

On the ground, five thousand black-armored elite soldiers turned around simultaneously, marched in unison towards the west gate.

...

Lin Feng and Meng Yi, along with eight other figures, hovered above the West Gate, watching as five thousand black-armored elite soldiers surged out of the city gate like a tide.

As the last soldier stepped out of the city gate, Lin Feng had a thought and activated 【Swift March】.

A pale blue wind-patterned halo spread out from beneath his feet, spreading like ripples on water and covering the entire army's feet.

The soldiers' previously steady steps suddenly became much lighter, and their speed doubled.

Five thousand black-armored elite soldiers quickened their pace at the same moment, turning from running to galloping, yet the formation remained orderly and without the slightest sign of disorder.

"Keep up the pace, keep up."

Lin Feng said something, then turned and flew forward.

Meng Yi and the others followed closely behind, their eight figures arranged in a wedge shape, leaving a long, thin trail in the night.

The army followed behind, their footsteps creating a deep, rhythmic roar in the night wind.

Two hundred meters in the air, a silver-white figure was flying at a speed of about thirty meters per second at the forefront.

Fengxue's wings gleamed coldly in the moonlight, its flight steady and elegant, but before long, it couldn't help but begin to sway from side to side.

It glides to the left for a while, then turns to the right, as if testing the boundaries of the wind.

Sometimes it would suddenly fold its wings and swoop down, skimming close to the ground over a patch of bushes, kicking up a cloud of dust, before quickly rising back to its altitude above the formation.

It would occasionally glance back at the army behind it, as if to confirm that the slowly moving black dots were still following it and to make sure it hadn't lost its way.

As they passed through a low hilly area, Fengxue's gaze suddenly locked onto a spiny boar that emerged from the bushes.

The adult, weighing nearly 400 kilograms, had a grayish-brown hide covering its raised back, with two rows of bony spikes extending from its shoulder blades to the base of its tail. It was bowing its head and burrowing into the soil, searching for grass roots. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Fengxue slightly folded its wings, and its silvery-white body slid down from the sky, its speed suddenly increasing to nearly sixty meters per second.

Upon landing, its forepaws precisely pressed down on the spine of the spiny boar, breaking several of its bony spikes under its silvery-white claws, before it lowered its head and bit the back of its prey's neck.

With a forceful jerk, the 400-kilogram body tumbled twice in the air before landing completely silent.

Lin Feng watched from the air for a moment, just in time to see Feng Xue lower her head, tear off a large piece of meat, chew it twice, swallow it, and then continue to tear off the next piece.

In less than a minute, the spiny boar was reduced to a skeleton and scattered scraps of skin.

Feng Xue raised her head, a satisfied glint flashing in her silvery-white pupils, and then let out a loud burp.

It seemed to have finally settled down after eating its fill, stood firmly on the ground, then flapped its wings and took off again, returning to its original altitude to continue leading the flight.

Lin Feng silently withdrew his gaze. Feng Xue's physique had already broken through sixty. After her physique awakened, she could maintain peak combat power for more than a month without eating or drinking. However, hunting was more of an instinct.

It was born recently and is still experiencing everything in this world instinctively.

More than five hours later, the sky gradually brightened to gray-white, and the outline of Hangu Pass gradually became clear in the morning light.

When the army arrived at the East Gate, Lin Feng glanced at the time: 5:30 a.m.

He turned to Meng Yi and said, "At eight o'clock in the morning, we will hold a meeting in the council hall. We will invite Zhao Hu, Tie Dun, and other core members of the territory, as well as Director Liu."

Meng Yi pressed his right fist to his chest: "I obey."
