MARTIAL PEAK 5181

"This time, all of the Human Race's passes will contribute to the recapture of Great Evolution Pass, and Blue Sky Pass will send about five hundred people. At that time, Senior Brother Xiang Shan will lead the team, and when we arrive there, without Senior Brother Xiang's orders, Yang Kai, you are not allowed to act arbitrarily!" Ding Yao looked at him solemnly.

Yang Kai accepted the order, "Disciple understands!" He then asked, "When will we set out?"

Ding Yao said, "It won't be long, just a few months."

Shentu Mo said, "The reason I'm telling you all this today is because I want you to be mentally prepared, otherwise, you will not be able to do anything when you get to the other side. Also, your Dawn Squad's establishment is not enough, so a small team of ten people has been deployed to fill up the gap. Someone will come to hand over the information to you in a few days."

"Yes!"

"You may leave, make your preparations." Shentu Mo waved his hand.

Yang Kai cupped his fists and said, "Disciple will take his leave."

After leaving the Military Department, Yang Kai took a deep breath and calmed his surging emotions. The Human Race is going to take back Great Evolution Pass after countless years. The expedition to Blue Sky Pass had allowed the Human Race to take the initiative to take a small step forward, while taking back Great Evolution Pass had taken a big step.

Once Great Evolution Pass was settled, the true expedition would not be far off. At that time, the Human and Black Ink Clans would definitely have an earth-shattering battle in this vast Ink Battlefield. No one knew what the final result would be, but in such a vast battlefield, the strength of a single person was too small. Not to mention Yang Kai, a mere Seventh Order, even a Ninth Order Old Ancestor master would only be able to influence the flow of the battle, unable to influence the overall situation.

The only thing Yang Kai could do now was to conserve his strength and prepare for the upcoming battle.

Returning to his residence, Yang Kai went into seclusion to cultivate, doing his best to improve his Small Universe's foundation.

Several days later, two Seventh Order Open Heaven masters came to visit. One was called Ren Bingbai, while the other was called Yu Ziyou. These two were originally the Team Leader and Vice Team Leader of a ten-man team, both of them Senior Seventh Order. They had been in the Ink Battlefield for at least two or three thousand years, killing countless enemies and accumulating many merits.

Because they wanted to take back the Great Evolution Pass, the more powerful the Dawn Squad was, the better. However, ever since the founding of the Dawn Squad, their number never reach it's limit. Considering this point, Ding Yao decided to recruit a small team of ten people to fill the Dawn Squad room and increase its strength.

The team led by Ren Bingbai and Yu Ziyou was honored to be chosen.

Regarding this order from the higher-ups, the two of them didn't reject it, in fact, they were even a bit happy. Every ordinary team's wish was to develop their own team into an elite team, but unfortunately, there were only five elite teams in Blue Sky Pass. If other teams wanted to advance to an elite team, unless they performed extremely well in a certain battle and played a decisive role, it would be impossible to expand.

The founding of the Dawn Squad was also because Yang Kai was too important, so the Regiment Commanders made special arrangements. In fact, after the founding of the Dawn Squad, the achievements they had made were truly worthy of their reputation as elite squad, even suppressing the other four elite squads.

Although Ren Bingbai and Yu Ziyou's team was quite strong and had many battle achievements, they were far from being able to expand into an elite team.

Therefore, when the higher-ups suddenly ordered them to join the Dawn Squad, they didn't know what was happening, but they still happily came to report to Yang Kai.

In every battle, the Dawn Squad ranking in the War Preparation Palace had always been ranked higher than the rest, and most importantly, the Dawn Squad has always have an empty spots.

Many cultivators wanted to join the Dawn Squad and fight as a member of it, but unfortunately, after so many years, Yang Kai, as the Team Leader, had never had any thoughts of recruiting new members.

Ren Bingbai and Yu Ziyou also didn't expect that this sudden order from their superiors would actually fulfill their many years of wish.

Inside the small courtyard, Yang Kai warmly welcomed the two Seventh Order masters. Although they had never interacted with each other before, they were all allies who had fought side by side in the Ink Battlefield. Naturally, there was no barrier between them when they talked about killing evil.

During this time, the two Seventh Order masters had also asked about the reason for the higher-ups' transfer, so Yang Kai had changed the subject.

The things that Ding Yao and Shentu Mo had told him were all secrets for the time being. Although these secrets would be exposed once the battle began, in this current situation, Yang Kai couldn't say anything, at least not through his own mouth.

After chatting for a while, both the host and guests enjoyed themselves.

With the addition of Ren Bingbai and Yu Ziyou's team, the number of Dawn Squad members instantly increased to 46. Although there were less than fifty of them, it was still close, with eight of them being Seventh Order.

As time passed, some news gradually spread from Blue Sky Pass. It was unknown where this news came from, but soon, all the soldiers who had been transferred back to Blue Sky Pass learned that the Human Race was going to take back Great Evolution Pass.

Everyone was excited, all of them preparing for the day of battle!

Several months later, this moment finally arrived.

A message came through. Dawn Squad had assembled, and under Yang Kai's leadership, they headed towards Blue Sky Pass' square. At this time, from all directions inside the pass, teams of variious numbers were gathering towards the square.

When Yang Kai arrived with Dawn Squad, there were already more than a hundred people gathered here, and many more were on their way.

In less than half a cup of tea's time, about five hundred people had gathered in the square, which was the number Ding Yao had just revealed.

Although there were many people, the square remained silent. In this peaceful situation, their excitement was suppressed.

Old Turtle Squad's Team Leader Chai Fang stood not far from Yang Kai and winked at him, attracting Yang Kai's attention and sending him a sound transmission, "Brother Yang, from the looks of it, the matter of taking back Great Evolution Pass is probably true?"

When this news had spread inside the pass, Chai Fang had also come to find Yang Kai to discuss this matter with him, but Yang Kai didn't dare to say anything and simply pretended not to know.

However, no matter who it was, everyone knew that if the upper echelons didn't tacitly agree, it would be impossible for this wind to blow up, so at the time, Chai Fang had thought that the news of the recovering battle was most likely true, but now it seemed it was.

Chai Fang was very excited. After that battle more than two hundred years ago, the soldiers of Blue Sky Pass had almost become idle. Not killing enemies for two hundred years was simply unbearable. If they could take back Great Evolution Pass, they could naturally kill to their heart's content.

"It should be," Yang Kai replied.

Chai Fang said, "Over the past thirty thousand years, Great Evolution Pass has always been occupied by the Black Ink Clan, causing the pressure on the left and right of Great Evolution Pass to be very great. If Great Evolution Pass can be subdued, the pressure on those two passes will be greatly reduced."

Each human pass corresponded to a war zone, and since Great Evolution Pass had fallen, the Black Ink Clan in that war zone naturally had no more constraints, so they had the strength to reinforce the nearby two war zones. Although they were far away and the efficiency of their reinforcements wasn't high, they had suffered quite a bit over the years.

Comparatively speaking, the two mountain passes adjacent to Great Evolution Pass had more troops than the average mountain pass.

For example, Blue Sky Pass had thirty to forty thousand soldiers all year round, and most human race passes had such a large number of soldiers. Even if there were more than forty thousand, there wouldn't be too many.

However, the two human race passes each had more than fifty thousand soldiers, or else they wouldn't have been able to resist the Black Ink Clan's attack, because each of them had to deal with an enemy that was equivalent to half a war zone.

Chai Fang continued, "Just our Blue Sky Pass alone has sent out five hundred people. If every mountain pass has this number, wouldn't we be able to easily gather fifty thousand soldiers? In addition to the reinforcements sent by those two mountain passes, tsk, we're determined to win back Great Evolution Pass."

Yang Kai smiled and said, "Since we're going to recover them, the higher-ups must have their own considerations. However, our Blue Sky Pass' situation is special, so even if we send out five hundred people, other mountain pass may not be able to sent many people."

Because Blue Sky Pass battle has been settled, even if more people were dispatched, it wouldn't affect them. The other mountain passes probably didn't have the advantage of Blue Sky Pass, so although five hundred people didn't sound like a lot, it was still a number of several guards.

While the two of them were conversing secretly, a stream of light suddenly rushed over from the Eastern Army Military Department and arrived in the blink of an eye.

The stream of light dispersed, revealing the figures of Xiang Shan and Ding Yao, who were the leaders of the group.

Yang Kai could clearly see that among these Eighth Order, Troublesome Grandmaster was among them, secretly thinking that Ding Yao and Shentu Mo had finally compromised with Troublesome Grandmaster.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xiang Shan took a step forward, looked around, and said, "Recently, there has been some rumors circulating in the pass. I believe all of you have heard about it. Today, this King wants to tell everyone that the matter of subduing Great Evolution Pass is true."

Although everyone present had their own guesses and were almost certain, when they heard these words from Xiang Shan's mouth, there was still an uproar.

Ignoring the excitement of the gathered soldiers, Xiang Shan continued, "Over thirty thousand years ago, Great Evolution Pass fell, and that place has always been under the control of the Black Ink Clan. Because of this, a hole has appeared in the strong defensive line established by the ancient ancestors. The Black Ink Clan from Great Evolution Pass even dared to provoke us in the No-Return Pass. This is a disgrace to our Human Race!"

"Over the past thirty thousand years, my Human Race has been constantly thinking about reclaiming Great Evolution Pass, but the situation on the Ink Battlefield has been extremely tense, and the various mountain passes have all been divided up. Even if the Human Race wanted to, they had no way to do so. After thirty thousand years, the hard work and effort of generations has finally allowed us to have this opportunity today. The Rights and Wrongs of our ancestors cannot be judged by us. As successors, we now have only one goal."

"Take back Great Evolution Pass!"

"Today, you five hundred soldiers will accompany me on this expedition. Regardless of whether we live or die, we will not disgrace the prestige of our Human Race, we will not disappoint the efforts of our ancestors, we will not forget our original aspirations, and with the enemy in front of us, we will kill them!"

"This battle will definitely be won!"

"Victory!" The crowd cheered, their voices echoing throughout the world.

Xiang Shan nodded slightly before suddenly waving his hand again, sending several dozen streaks of light towards the crowd. These streaks of light hovered in front of each of the Seventh Order Team Leaders, and among them was a Space Ring.

"Each squad's Team Leader, collect your supplies. There are enough Expelling Black Ink Pills and a spare Battleship inside the ring, and the Expelling Black Ink Pills will be distributed accordingly."

"Yes!" All the Team Leaders nodded.

Xiang Shan nodded, "Let's go!"
