Chapter 0
Rumble!!!

Under the dark, cloud-covered night sky, the sound of thunder and lightning intertwined with the deafening roar of countless arrows striking the defensive shield.

Jiang Xiao closed his eyes, but felt his body growing tighter and tighter, as if he was being constricted again?

Jiang Xiao: ???

Are you really that greedy for my body?

But I'm human!

I don't want a dragon rendezvous...

Well... mainly, your skin is too beautiful, I'm not worthy!

Han Jiangxue frowned, appearing genuinely angry. Her face flushed with displeasure, she slapped the Star Dragon's head heavily.

"Woof~" The dragon's tail wrapped around Jiang Xiao finally loosened a little.

In Jiang Xiao's perception world, layers of wounded tears fell like rain from the border between the two countries, continuously pushing and drenching the land within the Great Mongolia Empire.

The Arrow Mountain Clan, fleeing in droves across the mountains and plains, were truly a diverse lot!

Instantly, wails and howls echoed through the rainy night.

The Arrow Mountain Clan creatures were at least Gold-ranked and capped at Platinum. Putting aside everything else, they possessed some level of intelligence. Even the most dim-witted creatures had the natural instinct to seek benefit and avoid harm.

Therefore, the Arrow Mountain Clan charging from the north quickly halted their advance.

They didn't understand why the clan members ahead were so desperate, crying and screaming, or why they were furiously attacking indiscriminately.

But the Arrow Mountain Clan knew something was wrong in the south!

They had run all this way without incident, so why were the troops ahead suddenly going "berserk" in this area?

A Black Feather Arrow Spirit hesitantly stood its ground, carefully watching its clan members crying miserably just a dozen meters away. The Black Feather Arrow Spirit was lost in thought when it suddenly sensed something amiss with the rain. Its emotions plummeted rapidly.

Suppressing its grief, the Black Feather Arrow Spirit retreated quickly, a sentiment shared by many others in the Arrow Mountain Clan.

One... two... three...

When a group of Arrow Mountain Clan members turned and ran back, the entire momentum shifted.

As the retreating Arrow Mountain Clan roared loudly to spread the news, the rear guard quickly became the front guard. A dense, overwhelming barrage of black feather arrows shot towards the north, creating a path of escape for the Arrow Mountain Clan!

Meanwhile, in the north, within the borders of the Great Mongolia Empire, the rainy night was filled with beautiful scenes of warhorses galloping through flames.

The sound of whips cracked, and hooves thundered!

A team of twelve Star Warriors of the Great Mongolia Empire, riding high and brandishing their whips, each summoned eighteen Flame Warhorses. They frantically encircled, charged, and drove the Arrow Mountain Clan towards the southern mountains, but...

"Neigh~~~" On one of the Flame Warhorses, a rugged-faced man abruptly reined in his steed, his expression changing drastically!

He shouted loudly, "Enemy! Enemy! Flame Horses, charge forward! Team defense!"

Instantly, the twelve soldiers cracked their whips, managing to create a defensive net, whipping and knocking away the incoming arrows.

Then, hundreds of warhorses roared, their hooves ablaze, charging fearlessly into the vast horde of the Arrow Mountain Clan.

The leading soldier's face was filled with terror. "What's going on? What's happening?"

The dozen or so soldiers behind him watched as the Flame Warhorses charged into the Arrow Mountain Clan, but instead of fleeing or retreating, the Arrow Mountain Clan stared at the horse formation and continued to charge forward. This...

This didn't fit the Arrow Mountain Clan's characteristics!

The Arrow Mountain Clan were all "archers"!

That meant they were ranged damage dealers. Their first instinct when engaging the enemy was to create distance.

Normally, such a charge from the Flame Warhorse herd would cause the Arrow Mountain Clan to scatter and fight individually.

They would retreat or move to the sides, creating distance before firing their Star Power arrows, but now...

A soldier suddenly shouted, "Captain! Could there be something wrong with this rain?"

Indeed, the rain had fallen suddenly and seemingly out of nowhere. There was definitely something wrong.

However, the widespread rain was actually Jiang Xiao's "Domain Tears," so anyone drenched in it wouldn't feel anything amiss.

When the soldiers watched their summoned creatures, the Flame Warhorses, begin to turn back and run...

"Damn it, what's going on! Control your horses! Make them charge!" The captain lashed out with his whip, striking a soldier heavily, cursing in anger.

"Ah!" The soldier gasped, unable to suppress a cry of pain.

The whip tore through the soldier's clothing, leaving a bloody mark on his back.

But the captain was still not satisfied. His face filled with fear, he seemed to be using anger to hide everything. He raised his whip again, striking the soldier beside him. "Make the warhorses charge forward..."

Before he could finish, the captain's voice trailed off as he realized that even some of the eighteen Flame Warhorses he had summoned were turning back!

Those that were turning back were still lively, seeking survival, attempting to stay alive.

Those that didn't turn back were either pierced and shattered by countless arrows, or lying on the ground, devoid of any fighting spirit.

Flame Warhorses weren't real horses, but summoned Star Beasts!

Lying on the ground?

No, not lying down to sleep, but... devoid of any fighting spirit, giving up?

The captain's already terrified eyes could no longer hide his fear. Faced with the combined charge of the warhorses and the Arrow Mountain Clan, he quickly drew his bow and fired a white arrow into the sky!

As the white arrow hung in the air, countless white feather arrows rained down like bombers dropping their payloads.

Immediately afterward, the captain quickly turned his horse around and fled towards his own country.

The soldiers: "..."

The captain turned his head and yelled, "What are you standing around for!? Retreat! Retreat! Call for reinforcements!!!"

......

At the same time, on the high mountain.

Hou Mingming emerged with her three teammates, her keen senses immediately detecting the change in the situation.

Clearly, there were more Night Watch soldiers stationed on Earth, and they had even raised a defensive shield.

Hou Mingming's expression was stern. "What's going on?" she asked.

"Commander! A large number of the Arrow Mountain Clan are pouring in from the north!" a soldier quickly reported.

"Hmm?" Hou Mingming waved her hand, and a pure white Pegasus quietly appeared, its wings spreading wide, scattering flakes of ice.

Hou Mingming leaped onto the horse's back, squeezing its flanks. "Heh!"

As the White Mountain Snow Feather took flight, approaching the soldiers who were holding up the defensive shield, Hou Mingming frowned, seeing an extremely strange scene.

On the relatively flat terrain of the high mountain, groups of Arrow Mountain Clan members were sprawled out, slumped on the ground. Many others were nearly insane, attacking their companions, even killing themselves.

Hou Mingming even saw a Blue Feather Arrow Spirit fighting!

Yes, fighting itself!

The two faces on the Blue Feather Arrow Spirit's single head couldn't possibly see each other, but its four arms were intertwined!

Reversing arms, throwing punches...

The scene on the mountain was strange, but the scene at the foot of the mountain was even more interesting.

Amidst the rumble, a group of Arrow Mountain Clan members mixed with Flame Warhorses was frantically advancing north at the foot of the distant mountain!

Judging from the flames on the Flame Warhorses' hooves, this mixed army of the Arrow Mountain Clan and Flame Warhorses seemed to be chasing a dozen or so soldiers from the Great Mongolia Empire?

In the sky, a rain of white feather arrows created a bombing zone.

But even in the bombing zone, the Arrow Mountain Clan and Flame Warhorses braved the risk of being blown up, continuing to charge north!

Hou Mingming watched the figures disappearing into the distance, snorting coldly, "Sick."

Of course, this was just arrogant disdain. Hou Mingming knew that the soldiers opposite her couldn't possibly be truly sick...

What could cause the Arrow Mountain Clan and Flame Warhorses to be so resolute, even risking being bombed, to charge north?

If they weren't afraid of death, what were they afraid of?

The fact was, some things were more terrifying than death.

This rain was toxic!

She controlled the White Mountain Snow Feather, turning back and looking down. "Which company of soldiers is using this Star Technique? What Star Technique is it, and what are its effects? Report to me quickly..."

Before she could finish, she saw a familiar figure.

Hou Mingming raised her eyebrows slightly, extending her hand to her side. As the light rain fell into her palm, Hou Mingming rubbed her thumb and forefinger together, nodding slightly to Jiang Xiao in the distance.

Hou Mingming's silent gesture was enough to convey information. Clearly, she was asking.

Jiang Xiao grinned, nodded, and led Han Jiangxue back into a different dimensional space gate.

"Heh." A hint of unrestrained joy appeared on Hou Mingming's serious expression. Seeing the reinforcement Jiang Xiao in such a critical battlefield, Hou Mingming suddenly felt less pressure.

There weren't many people in this world who could put Hou Mingming at ease. In fact, there were only two.

One was her boyfriend, Zhang Ren.

Whenever Hou Mingming dragged her tired body back to the Zhuguang Army compound, back home, seeing her caring and attentive boyfriend, Hou Mingming's proud and irritable heart would quickly quiet down.

Her boyfriend was just an ordinary person, and Hou Mingming would consciously restrain her own presence and aura.

As for the fact that she would occasionally shatter the mirror while washing up in the morning, that was another story...

In life, her boyfriend, who had given up everything to follow her from the heart of the country to Dajiang Province, had given her a stable and warm home.

And in battle... the only person who could put her at ease was Jiang Xiao.

Even Er Wei wasn't qualified.

On the one hand, Jiang Xiao was a medical Star Warrior. On the other hand, strength spoke for itself!

Hou Mingming had witnessed Jiang Xiao's growth firsthand.

Every battle, every decision, every achievement and merit, was real.

Hou Mingming's character was such that she was arrogant to a certain extent, and she believed that she would never lose to anyone in her life.

But when Jiang Xiao, as a medical support, personally taught her archery skills, allowing her to transform Star Power into martial skills at the Star River Peak stage...

After that, Hou Mingming had let go of a lot of her pride when facing him.

Hou Mingming couldn't deceive herself.

When she transformed Star Power into martial skills for the first time at the Star River Peak stage, the combat skill images she had in her mind were really scenes of Jiang Xiao's battle with Neil, the Shield of Europe, at the World Cup...

Hou Mingming watched Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue disappear into the space gate and said, "A team, come with me to clean up the battlefield. Leave no survivors."

Wang Lang clearly sensed that the situation on the battlefield had changed. Everything had changed since he reported the emergency to Jiang Xiao.

The Arrow Mountain Clan in the north had stopped charging, and the number of arrows being fired had also decreased.

What was going on?

Was this some special Star Technique?

Wang Lang didn't quite understand, but there were many things he didn't understand, such as the dragon creature with the mysterious starry sky skin...

This Commander Jiang was quite interesting, huh?

Well, I'll find a chance to ask about it.

The Wei Yu team was the only numbered team in the Zhuguang Wei Yu brigade, and it was personally led by the second-in-command, Jiu Wei. Its strength was evident.

In fact, Hou Mingming also didn't understand how Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue had done it, but it didn't matter. She just wanted the result.

At this moment, the situation on the battlefield was good enough.

If she really asked... it wouldn't be very appropriate.

Jiang Xiao was not only her junior, but also her immediate superior.

If Jiang Xiao really issued an order, telling her to shut up and stand at attention...

Hou Mingming knew that her mentality would definitely explode, but she also knew that she would definitely stand at attention.

Just like when she was preparing for the Dragon Cave mission in the snowy field, Jiang Xiao had made her stand at attention with the Star Map open. Her body's reaction was almost subconscious, and she stood for a full ten minutes. She didn't have any rebellious thoughts during the process.

The reason? Naturally, Er Wei didn't tease her any less after she joined the army...

Although Er Wei couldn't give her a sense of security, she taught her what it meant to "obey orders" and "execute."

In fact, Hou Mingming also had some small thoughts in her heart. She considered herself the type of soldier who was particularly disciplined and obedient, but Er Wei always teased her for no reason.

Look at Fu Hei, the old slick, how undisciplined he was. She didn't see Er Wei give him any "special attention."

She wondered if Commander Luan was targeting her on someone's orders...
