Sage of Humanity

Lu Ye couldn't seize the Falcon's mission. All those of the 14th Dao were in hiding; to obtain the Dao Bone, one could only go to the battlefield to slay enemies.

Since he must kill enemies on the battlefield, it didn't matter to him which warzone he went to.

Zi Ying had requested help, and Lu Ye was naturally willing to respond. This Lord Governor had helped him a lot in the past.

Upon receiving Zi Ying's message, Lu Ye glanced at it, then checked the star map. Once he confirmed the location, he immediately soared into the sky.

It took him a whole ten days to reach the destination of this journey.

Huang Quan's battle planet!

It was a yellowish-brown planet, massive in size. Viewed from stellar space, the entire battle planet resembled a dusty sphere, surrounded by a ring composed of countless meteorites, like a skirt hem.

Following the direction indicated by Zi Ying's audio transmission, Lu Ye flew through the only crack in the skirt hem into Huang Quan's battle planet, feeling renewed sensory perceptions at once.

This Huang Quan's battle planet was surprisingly a rare domain where ordinary life forms could survive.

However, such a battle planet certainly wouldn't have common life forms surviving. This was already the frontline where the human race's battle alliance and the Blood Race confronted each other, and those coming and going were cultivators with cultivation.

"Lord Commander!" A voice suddenly came from the side.

Lu Ye halted his figure, turned his head, and revealed a look of astonishment.

The person swiftly approached, wearing a gleeful smile, and cupped his fists, saying, "Greetings, Commander! Hearing from Lord Governor that the Commander would come, the brothers have been waiting eagerly!"

"Wang Xun..." Lu Ye nodded slightly.

The newcomer was none other than Wang Xun of the Crane Wings Camp, also one of the few who possessed a Dao artifact at the time.

"Did Lord Governor transfer the entire Crane Wings Camp here?" Lu Ye asked, and since Wang Xun was here, he had mentioned the brothers, Lu Ye naturally had some conjecture.

It seemed Zi Ying's purpose in calling him over was for him to resume command of the Crane Wings Camp.

This was to be expected. The Power of the 14th Dao might not be weak, but its role on a real battlefield was limited. However, his command over the Crane Wings Camp was different; it was a force capable of changing the trajectory of local battles.

"Indeed." Wang Xun nodded, "However, the Crane Wings Camp has been restructured. Most of the brothers stayed, and Lord Governor also drew some elites to supplement it."

"Where is Lord Governor?"

"The lord is at the frontline stronghold, currently not in Huang Quan. The lord instructed that once the Commander arrives, the Crane Wings Camp should be under the Commander's direction, proceeding to meet her."

Lu Ye understood; it seemed the Crane Wings Camp had only arrived in Huang Quan recently, waiting specifically for him.

"Where are the others?" Lu Ye inquired.

Wang Xun took the lead, "Over here, Commander follow me."

Before long, on a spirit mountaintop, Wang Xun led Lu Ye to land, where nearly a hundred figures were scattered, engaging in lively exchanges.

"The Commander has arrived!" Someone shouted, and immediately, everyone's gaze turned toward Lu Ye.

"Commander, long time no see."

"Greetings, Lord Commander!"

A chorus of chatter ensued as Lu Ye's gaze swept across, seeing many familiar faces. Even though his time with the Crane Wings Camp was short, they had been through a bloody battle, and in that fight, the Crane Wings Camp made huge contributions, with abundant gains and low casualties. Such formidable results were, of course, attributed to Lu Ye.

However, what many cultivators lamented was that after that battle, Blue Water became peaceful, and with Lu Ye's departure, the Crane Wings Camp became a mere name.

Now that Zi Ying had transferred them here, it could be said to perfectly fit their desires, as they could once again follow Lu Ye into the battlefield to kill on all sides, which everyone eagerly anticipated.

Apart from the familiar faces, there were some he hadn't seen before.

Initially, when the Crane Wings Camp was formed, it was comprised of Blue Water's elite, but ultimately, some members were of the 8th Dao, as Zi Ying hadn't anticipated such radiance from the Crane Wings Camp in the war stories.

This time, she prepared, replacing all the 8th Dao with the 9th Dao.

In other words, the current cultivators of the Crane Wings Camp were all of the 9th Dao—this was truly an elite force. In any warzone, a team entirely composed of the 9th Dao was extremely rare.

At this moment, familiar faces displayed expressions of fervor and anticipation, while unfamiliar faces mostly showed curiosity.

They had learned about the power of the Crane Wings Array from their companions, but since it was just hearsay, without personal experience, they had no deep understanding.

Under the public's gaze, Lu Ye felt he should say something. After a brief consideration, he spoke, "I am Lu Ye, under the command of Governor Zi Ying, in charge of the Crane Wings Camp from today onward, and I hope you'll follow my commands!"

"We will look to Lord Commander," someone shouted.

Others followed suit.

Lu Ye nodded and turned to look at Wang Xun beside him: "Have the new brothers gotten familiar with the Crane Wings Array?"

Wang Xun immediately said, "Rest assured, Commander. We arrived three days earlier; everyone who's supposed to be familiar has become familiar."

The difficulty of the Crane Wings Array lies in the connection of each other's energy. Once this problem is resolved, everything else is manageable; three days is enough.

Initially, Lu Ye also spent just three days getting familiar with the Crane Wings Camp.

"If that's the case..." Lu Ye spoke to this point and suddenly turned his head to look in one direction. From there, a figure swiftly approached and soon asked, "Who here is Commander Lu Ye?"

Lu Ye stepped forward: "That would be me!"

The cultivator immediately shouted in a low voice: "I am Wang Xiu, Huang Quan's Messenger. Lu Ye of the Crane Wings Camp, hear my orders! The Fengtai Stronghold is in urgent need of support, the Crane Wings Camp must proceed swiftly to assist!"

After saying this, Wang Xiu added: "This order was issued by Governor Huang Quan and has already been communicated with Governor Zi Ying. Commander Lu, you can send a message to confirm!"

Lu Ye nodded: "One moment!"

As he said this, he picked up his Alliance Guard Token and sent a message to Zi Ying to inquire, and quickly received confirmation of the matter from Zi Ying.

Since it was Zi Ying's directive, he naturally had to comply. He put away the Alliance Guard Token, glanced over everyone in front, and shouted in a low voice: "Crane Wings Camp, follow me!"

"Crane Wings Camp, attack!" Wang Xun also shouted following him.

Shortly, a line of a hundred streams of light dashed out from Huang Quan's battle planet, heading straight in the direction of Fengtai Stronghold.

Lu Ye was at the forefront, Wang Xun closely by his side, the others followed like shadows.

Not only was there just the Crane Wings Camp, but other cultivators were also flying out from Huang Quan's battle planet, all heading in the same direction, clearly intending to assist the Fengtai Stronghold.

Wang Xun transmitted a message to Lu Ye: "My lord, have you ever been to a battle zone?"

"I have heard of it, but I haven't been there." Previously, while undertaking several code-red tasks from Falcon, Lu Ye had roamed through many battle zones, but he truly hadn't been to a major battle zone.

But he knew that the battle zones within Branlan were different, divided into major and minor battle zones.

Like Blue Water's side is a minor battle zone, while Huang Quan's side is a major one.

The distinction between them is not the range of the battle zone but the intensity of the rivalry!

Wang Xun clearly had received instructions from Zi Ying, fearing Lu Ye was not familiar with these things, so he explained carefully.

Lu Ye was not entirely ignorant, having been in Branlan for a long time, no longer in the state of knowing nothing like he was upon first arrival, but he didn't interrupt Wang Xun, instead listening attentively because more understanding wouldn't hurt.

"In major battle zones like Huang Quan, there is more than one Dao Fusion Governor. Take this battle zone for instance; the Human Race Battle Alliance has as many as eight Dao Fusion level experts. Previously, one Dao Fusion expert's death in battle led to Zi Ying being transferred to fill the vacancy. With so many Dao Fusion, apart from sitting in the battle planet, others are distributed across various strongholds in the battle zone. Some are on desolate or dead planets, some on a gigantic floating land, and even some are in a sea of meteorites. Though valueless themselves, due to their strategic significance in the confrontations, Dao Fusion must guard them."

Lu Ye nodded, indicating understanding. If these strongholds were captured, the enemy could gradually compress their cultivators' active range and then use these strongholds as stepping stones to launch a strong attack on Huang Quan's battle planet.

The current destination they were rushing to was one of these strongholds, obviously in some crisis, so reinforcements were drawn from Huang Quan's battle planet to support it.

Such a crisis likely wasn't due to a loss on the Dao Fusion level but rather a disadvantage at the Beginner level's confrontation; otherwise, the entire stronghold might be at risk if it were a Dao Fusion level loss, making troop reinforcements meaningless.

It's merely a Beginner level adversity, undoubtedly presenting a giant stage for the Crane Wings Camp.

"Commander, should we let the new brothers form the array ahead of time to get familiarized?" Wang Xun asked. Given the current situation, they'll likely enter battle soon upon arrival, so it's beneficial to familiarize themselves earlier.

Lu Ye considered for a moment, then nodded: "Indeed!"

Wang Xun, accepting the order, immediately returned to the ranks with a shout: "Crane Wings Camp, array setup!"

Under the order, nearly a hundred cultivators spread out. In no time, each took their positions methodically. Once everyone was in formation, Lu Ye, who initially led, was now in the middle position.

Lu Ye immediately constructed an As-Close-As-Siblings Dao Rune on himself and transmitted through Mental Consciousness to all directions: "Come!"

The next moment, ninety-nine streams of energy extended from all directions, landing on him and connecting and merging with the Dao Rune as the Central Hub.

A sound seemingly resembling a crane's cry arose, and the hundred people advancing forward instantly transformed into a giant bird soaring with wings spread wide.

The Divine Crane reappeared!

The veterans who had fought alongside Lu Ye were visibly excited, though it wasn't their first experience, so they managed to contain their emotions.

However, the newcomers drawn in displayed expressions filled with indescribable shock.

Even though they had heard of the Crane Wings Array's intricacies from Wang Xun and others, and despite knowing that with Lu Ye as the commander, the Crane Wings Camp could effortlessly form the array, they couldn't fully believe without experiencing it firsthand.

But now, they had truly and effortlessly formed a colossal array, magnificent in its splendor and powerful in its might, in an instant instilling each person's heart with an overwhelming sense of invincibility.
