Chapter 369: Witnessing Power
In Imperial City, at the Divine Marquis Armys martial training ground.
After the Divine Marquis Army triumphed over five thousand demonic creatures in the Northern Ghost Mountain Expedition, the Emperor was very pleased. He then ordered the Divine Workshop to construct this training ground, which was naturally of an extraordinary size.
Under the guidance of Ningshuang, Qin Feng entered this martial arts arena. With a single glance, Qin Feng was struck by its imposing presence.
The neatly arranged military formations were a given, and there were various training grounds for horseback shooting.
In the center of the martial arts field, there was a high military parade platform and a courtyard building. Next to the courtyard is a platform. The flag of the Divine Marquis Army is fluttering on the flagpole of the platform.
The shouts of the military exercises were uniform, even the sound of the weapons cutting through the air seemed to be synchronized.
In Qin Fengs mind, a poem by Xin Qiji came to mind: Roast beef is shared among the soldiers for their enjoyment. Galvanized beats fill the air in the borderland. In the fall, troops are inspected on the battlefield.
The scene in front of him truly matched the description in the poem!
It is indeed remarkable, Qin Feng exclaimed sincerely.
Lan Ningshuang smiled and said, The reputation of the Divine Marquis Army is echoing throughout the Great Qian, of course its extraordinary.
However, sir, you may not know that when the head of the Liu family took over this army, it had less than two thousand soldiers and was extremely lax.
If it werent for the able leadership of the Liu family head, the Divine Marquis Army wouldnt have won victory after victory and grown to its current size.
Currently, there were more than thirty thousand soldiers in this drill ground, not counting the part of the army that was engaged in external battles!
Lan Ningshuang looked around and pointed to a building, Sir, look over there, this courtyard is where new recruits are trained.
Xing Sheng came from there when he was young. Moreover, young master, you may not know, but Xing Sheng was the most outstanding among all the soldiers back then.
Oh? If I had known that, I would have brought him with me today, and he would have been delighted. By the way, where is the arranged meeting place? Qin Feng asked.
Its on the parade platform in front. Lan Ningshuang replied.
Qin Feng looked in that direction and actually saw his father-in-law.
At this moment, unlike the Liu family, the father-in-law was not wearing casual clothes, but was dressed in battle armor with a long sword at his waist, looking dignified.
Qin Feng even faintly saw a shadow of his wife from his father-in-law.
It seems that my wife inherited the charm from her mother-in-law, but this heroic demeanor was inherited from this military god father-in-law.
Could such a thing really unleash a power comparable to the full-force strike of a fifth-class martial artist?
A doubt appeared in his mind.
Yes, Chief Deng. I call it an explosive. Just light the fuse at the top, and once it detonates, it can unleash unparalleled power, Qin Feng explained confidently.
Hearing is fiction, seeing is believing. Im going to demonstrate it for both of you.
Qin Feng looked down at the audience filled with soldiers in training. He turned his head and said, Can you make room for me? Im afraid that if this thing explodes, the power might be too great and someone might get hurt.
Deng Mo raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.
Liu Tianlu pondered for a moment, then took a deep breath and shouted, All soldiers, line up on both sides!
In this drill ground, Liu Tianlus command was the highest order. The sound spread out in all directions, and in no time, all the soldiers lined up on both sides, clearing the middle.
Just when these soldiers thought that General Liu had given this order for a practical combat demonstration, they saw a handsome young man dressed in black running all the way to the center of the drill ground.
Despite the countless curiosities in their hearts, no one spoke.
Qin Feng glanced around and made sure that everyone kept a safe distance.
He took a deep breath and placed the explosive powder on the ground. He took out a match from his storage ring and lit the fuse.
Qin Feng then fled to a safe distance, covering his ears with both hands.
This series of inexplicable actions made the onlookers look puzzled.
However, just as the spark from the fuse entered the black iron orb, there was a blinding flash of light, followed by a deafening thunderclap!
Bang!
The sound came and went quickly.
As the soldiers recovered from their shock, they looked at the explosion site. A pit had been blasted into the ground, with cracks spreading like a spider web.
Countless pieces of shattered iron splashed around, with the farthest flying onto the parade ground.
Liu Tianluo gestured with his right hand, and the iron fragments swept into his hand, still carrying the searing heat.
He looked at the dark imprint on the ground, and a turbulent wave surged in his heart.
