Li Xiang paid little attention to such things. As long as the loyalty of these heroes did not change, he would naturally not put in much effort to learn all the information about his subordinates. There was no need for that.

“Ye Xi, although you’re new here, the purpose of summoning you is to deal with a higher-ranked enemy that might come. This time, the Vine Whisker Demon will scout with the others. Meanwhile, you follow behind, hide, and see if the enemy has a stronger enemy. It’s best not to expose yourself if you can.”

“Yes!”

Ye Xi did not have any opinion. After receiving the order, she immediately followed behind the Vine Whisker Demon and headed in the northwest direction.

“Lys, you take the Demon Army and be on standby at the Cross-Border teleportation array.”

“Yes!”

“Zhao Sheng, lead the Human Army and follow me. We need to save millions of humans and make them obedient. Naturally, we need the Human Army to make them feel at ease.”

“Yes!”

After making some arrangements, Li Xiang led Alice and the others out of the border.

Behind him were 50,000 Human Cavalry and 10,000 Dread Fiend Cavalry.

The remaining troops were all standing by the Cross-Border teleportation array.

It was the first time Li Xiang had walked out of the border since he came to the Myriad World Continent.

Because of the Eternal Blazing Sun, the environment in the Kingdom of Dawn didn’t change much. The sky was high, and the clouds were light, and the weather was pleasant.

However, the moment he crossed the border, waves of dark and deep evil auras instantly entangled him.

Those auras were very dense and carried a strong erosive nature. It was as if they wanted to devour all living things that were exposed to the air. They were extremely terrifying.

The land was dark and desolate. Occasionally, plants would appear. But they had strange shapes and looked like ferocious ghosts that were swaying in the wind.

The sky was even darker. The Sun, Moon, and stars could not be seen. There were also no birds. Only rolling dark clouds covered the entire sky.

In the wilderness, groups of black shadows were moving. They let out waves of terrifying roars.

There were even terrifying figures as tall as mountains that could be vaguely seen in the distance.

“What a dangerous Myriad World Continent!”

Screech!

Not far away, a black vine flew out toward the warhorse Li Xiang was riding.

Flames emerged from the warhorse’s body, instantly burning the vines that were sweeping toward him into ashes.

Almost at the same time, over ten black shadows sensed the terrifying aura that Li Xiang’s group was emitting. They suddenly jumped up from the ground and frantically scattered into the distance.

However, after running for more than ten meters, they were shot by multiple sharp arrows from behind. They couldn’t be more dead.

Those sharp arrows were not common arrows. They were extraordinary arrows with special runes and power. They were standard equipment specially developed by the Sky Workshop.

Li Xiang frowned and said, “The environment in the outside world is too harsh. If we want to expand, I don’t know how to purify the land in the outside world!”

Kyla was an expert in purification, and she hated the dark and evil aura that filled the world.

“Country Lord, the dark aura here is too dense. The land has been completely eroded by the darkness. I’m afraid it’s impossible to purify it with external forces in a short period of time.”

“Is there no way at all? Such a vast land, are we going to give it up just like that?” Li Xiang was naturally unwilling, but now was not the time to expand. He would just have to pay attention in the future.

Along the way, with every step he took, he would encounter all kinds of demon beasts and evil spirits. Although they were relatively weak, for the average human, it was simply difficult for them to take even a single step.

Such a harsh environment was not suitable for humans to survive. Yet, the Alliance of Gods wanted to drive millions of humans toward the Kingdom of Dawn.

Even though it was only 93 miles away, who knew how many people would die along the way?

Soon after, the eye demon’s intelligence came from the front.

With the help of the Vine Whisker Demon and the Black Wing Demon, the effect was better, and more useful information could be found.

For example, a troop of 100,000 cavalries followed 16 miles away from the humans’ route.

Those cavalries were all above Rank 100, and their equipment was very luxurious. They were the Undead Cavalry from the Undead race.

Common armies could not withstand the charge of 100,000 cavalries at all.

However, those 100,000 cavalries were just the tip of the iceberg.

Later, the Black Wing Demon found more than 10 magic battleships flying in the air. The Three-eyed race’s warriors were on them, and their weapons and equipment were superior. They were all above Rank 120, and there were about 30,000 of them.

Li Xiang did not expect the operation to be a joint operation; he had already discovered the Underworld race and the Three-eyed race. He did not know if there were other races.

The speed of Li Xiang’s army was not fast, intentionally.

Not long after, he finally received news from the Starlight Angel Ye Xi.

“There is an army of 100,000 people on each side of the Human Army. They are all from the Wolf race of the Beast race. One of them is the Blood Moon Wolf race, and the other is the Silver Moon Wolf race. They are both the ultimate Beast King races. Their individual combat strength is extremely strong. After forming an army, their attack power is even stronger.”

“Mhm.”

“Other than that, we did not find any other experts or armies. However, if there are experts, the biggest possibility is that they are hiding in the magic battleships in the air.”

“How far away are they from us now?”

“About 68 miles!”

“Then let’s speed up! We can’t let our guests wait for too long. Oh right, Zhao Sheng!”

“I’m here!”

“You have to be on guard against the enemies who might be hiding among the commoners of the Human race! I’ll get the eye demon to cooperate with you!”

After saying that, Li Xiang pulled out his battle sword and activated the acceleration function on his equipment. He shouted, “Charge!”

Boom!

The Kingdom of Dawn’s army, which was originally moving slowly in the dark wilderness, suddenly accelerated. At the same time, three halos appeared under the feet of countless people.

Those three halos were respectively Blessing Halos, Recovery Halos, and Toxic Halos.

They were naturally the halos skills of Yang Mi and the other two.

Li Xiang originally did not want them to come, but they insisted, so he did not refuse.

As soon as the three halos appeared, the team’s status became even more harmonious.

Along the way, the dark evil creatures that kept appearing were effortlessly killed by the soldiers.

Li Xiang, observing the situation, activated the intermediate-level EXP Halo.

The EXP gained from killing dark creatures directly increased by three times. Although that bit of EXP wasn’t much, it was still something.

Chen Shu said with some envy, “You guys actually got one of these halo skills each. You guys are really lucky.”

Tong Qingya also said, “I heard that because of a low-rank halo’s skill stone, a war that affected thousands of countries started. Hundreds of thousands of people were killed or injured. It’s evident how rare and precious the halo skill stones are. Anyway, I only saw this kind of halo skill once during the trial. I didn’t expect that it to be almost wholesale by now.”
