With their last stronghold exposed and Fang Zheng's active recommendation, the resistance army had no choice but to accept Chen Luo as their new, parachuted-in leader.
To the resistance army's surprise, after Chen Luo arrived in Cape Town, although Kowloon unilaterally severed contact with the city, they took no further action.
It seemed Kowloon had tacitly accepted Cape Town's independence.
And so, a month passed in the blink of an eye…
Outside Cape Town, within a colossal circular arena,
The arena was entirely constructed from massive, pure white marble, its sheer scale so immense it seemed as if it were built by giants.
Yet, a month prior, no such structure existed outside Cape Town.
Inside the vast arena spanning tens of thousands of square meters, four colossal battle armors, each over ten meters tall, were engaged in a furious exchange of attacks.
Energy cannons and enormous cold weapons frequently impacted the sturdy arena floor, but a layer of faint white light that shimmered on the floor completely absorbed all residual energy from the attacks.
In the stands beside the arena, a large number of resistance soldiers watched the battle in the field with palpable tension.
Chen Luo, meanwhile, hovered in the air above the arena, taking in everything unfolding below.
All four battle armors were S-class Dragon Rider battle armors, and their pilots were all familiar faces.
The three Lin sisters and Fang Xue, their bodies encased within the battle armors, were stretched to their absolute limits.
They had unleashed their full combat power; even if faced with a mountain, they were confident they could shave off a layer.
But, at this moment, they felt an indescribable sense of powerlessness.
"Too clumsy!"
Hum! Amidst the dust kicked up by the battle armor's attacks, a clear, crisp voice reached the ears of the four.
The four newly appointed Dragon Riders, hearing this, gritted their teeth and accelerated the attack speed of their weapons.
For a time, a flurry of energy rounds and the swings of massive cold weapons turned the arena into a chaotic, clamorous scene.
The four appeared to have undergone numerous drills; when they attacked in unison, not only did they avoid interfering with each other, but they also sealed off the arena so tightly that not even water could pass through.
Even seasoned veterans of the Dragon Rider corps would likely be instantly defeated facing the combined assault of these four.
However, the strength of an attack also depends on the opponent!
Hum!
A tiny, ice-blue figure, amidst the siege of four massive battle armors, darted like a dancing butterfly, nimbly evading every attack coming from all directions!
Neither the high-speed energy projectiles nor the alloy longswords cleaving through the air could harm this figure in the slightest:
"Lin Qing! Your shooting rhythm is too monotonous! Failure!!" An ice-blue spear suddenly thrust directly into a battle armor, counteracting the energy cannon fired by the armor.
The immense thrust sent the battle armor piloted by Lin Qing careening to the edge of the arena, completely losing its ability to resist!
"Lin Yue! Your blade is just venting anger! I see no combat wisdom! Failure!!"
The ice-blue figure suddenly appeared before Lin Yue's battle armor, and in Lin Yue's horrified gaze, the ice-blue figure unleashed a punch!
Boom!! Another ten-meter-tall S-class battle armor was effortlessly slammed to the edge of the arena, completely neutralized!
The other two battle armors, witnessing this, showed no surprise or fear.
The moment the ice-blue figure attacked! Lin Xin'er and Fang Xue, with remarkable coordination, launched their attacks at the target!
"Lin Xin'er! Fang Xue! Good timing! I give you 59 points!"
"But still too green! Therefore, you fail!!!"
As the ice-blue figure, seemingly falling from the sky with no point of support, descended, it lightly stepped down, and the air beneath its feet solidified into tangible bricks.
The ice-blue figure instantly flashed out from between the pincer attack of the two battle armors!
Two slender, beautiful legs, encased in ice-blue battle armor, with the explosive power of a female leopard, fiercely kicked the two approaching battle armors!
With a roar, the blue and purple battle armors also became frozen sculptures, embedded into the edges of the wall.
Tap,
The battle boots lightly landed on the shimmering white marble floor, and a female warrior, encased in ice-blue battle armor, calmly looked at the few battle armors scattered around:
"Boss, are these the disciples you've just trained? They're still far from ready."
Chen Luo, who had been hovering above the arena maintaining the shield, now landed beside the female warrior, looking with a hint of helplessness at his few female disciples who were temporarily unable to get up around the arena, and at the stunned resistance fighters at the arena's edge:
"My dear Legion Commander, I only asked you to help me tell them that there are always people better than them, but you went a bit too hard."
The female warrior waved her hand casually, and the battle armor that completely covered her face suddenly dissolved into light, her long hair instantly cascading down to her waist. She rolled her gray eyes at Chen Luo with a hint of annoyance:
"Wasn't this the order from a certain Military Lord? He said his newly accepted disciples had gotten a bit too strong and were thinking of conquering the world, so he asked me to come and help them regain their senses."
Chen Luo turned his head and chuckled dryly:
"Haha, is that so? But Su Xiao, you did a great job. They should be much calmer now."
Su Xiao, however, frowned as she looked at her gradually fading hand:
"Chen Luo, the power of legions in this world has been greatly weakened. I feel like I'm about to be sent back."
Chen Luo also looked at Su Xiao's gradually fading body with some helplessness:
"The world's rules are different, but it's okay. My Legion Commander, don't forget, my strength isn't solely reflected in my legions."
The world's rejection force was becoming increasingly apparent. Su Xiao, hearing this, gave Chen Luo a deep look and said earnestly:
"I trust you completely, Boss. But when needed, don't hesitate to summon us."
Chen Luo smiled freely, "Of course! I won't be polite with you. Alright, go back with peace of mind, my Legion Commander."
Hum, the ice-blue female warrior, under a deep gaze, slowly turned into points of light and finally disappeared completely.
Chen Luo, with a hint of helplessness, clenched his fist: "Legion power is a bit difficult in this world."
After a month of adaptation, coupled with helping the protagonist group improve their strength and gaining higher recognition from the Great Source, Chen Luo's legion summoning as a "Human Emperor" profession could now be used.
However, even for Su Xiao, the Legion Commander, after being summoned, her power was suppressed to Tier 1 Nightmare level, barely matching the S-class Heart Soul Battle Armor.
Moreover, Chen Luo could feel that even maintaining the summoning of a single Legion Commander required one-thousandth of his mana recovery rate every second.
Cross-world summoning, for "Legion Descent" which had not yet advanced to the racial foundation level, was indeed too costly.
However, summoning Su Xiao brought some good news.
