 ### Chapter 1707: Since It Has Been Found, Destroy It

The woman named Xiang Xiaoxing is a minor God Sovereign with the military rank of a fourth-rank captain. Lin Moyu noted that achieving the rank of a fourth-rank captain is not easy and requires completing numerous tasks and participating in many battles, both big and small.

Lin Moyu remembered that some elders in the fortresses had reached the God Sovereign realm, yet their military rank remained at the second or third rank of captain. On the other hand, some God Kings who had been performing tasks for many years had already achieved the rank of captain early on.

From the aura she exuded, it was clear that Xiang Xiaoxing had the sharpness unique to the battlefield, indicating that she was a battle-hardened female soldier.

While Lin Moyu was observing Xiang Xiaoxing, she was also scrutinizing him. All of Lin Moyu's information was hidden, revealing nothing. However, she could sense that Lin Moyu was a God King.

She couldn't help but frown slightly, suspecting that Lin Moyu might be using some treasure to conceal his aura. If he was really just a God King, what use would he be here?

Regardless, Xiang Xiaoxing knew what she had to do. "Please follow me," she said crisply, turning to lead Lin Moyu towards the core of the fortress.

Along the way, Lin Moyu sensed a somewhat heavy atmosphere in Fortress No. 1. The fortress was heavily guarded, with troops on high alert, ready to face any enemy at any moment.

Based on the battlefield's layout, Zone 2 was not far from Fortress No. 1. If the conflict escalated, it could indeed affect Fortress No. 1. The troops were on guard to prevent a sudden attack from the Golden Eagle Clan.

Lin Moyu followed Xiang Xiaoxing and asked, "Captain Xiang, can you tell me the specifics of the situation?"

Xiang Xiaoxing replied bluntly, "I'm only responsible for bringing you back. As for other matters, I am not authorized to disclose them."

In other words, she had nothing to say. From this brief exchange, Lin Moyu understood her temperament and knew he wouldn't get any more information from her. Xiang Xiaoxing was a very qualified soldier, embodying the conduct and style of a military person.

The two walked in silence, entering the core area. The overall structure of the fortress was not much different from those in the Vermilion Bird Battlefield. The buildings inside also had a military style, similar in appearance, and Lin Moyu lost interest after a few glances.

The fortress itself was a terrifying war machine, with the core area filled with formations. Once war broke out, these buildings would transform into powerful weapons, unleashing deadly attacks. Even in peacetime, these buildings exuded a strong pressure that could affect even a God Sovereign.

Seeing Lin Moyu's unchanged expression, Xiang Xiaoxing thought to herself, "He seems quite calm. I wonder if he's just pretending."

She had seen people from Divine City before, and many of them showed some surprise when they saw the fortress. But the person in front of her, numbered 1003, showed no surprise at all.

Under Xiang Xiaoxing's guidance, they arrived at a reception room where a stern-looking man was sitting. "Reporting to the legion commander, the person has been brought," Xiang Xiaoxing saluted the man and then stood aside without saying a word.

The man nodded slightly, then slowly stood up and looked at Lin Moyu, introducing himself, "Xiang Yan, Xuanwu Battlefield, Xuanwu Army, commander of Fortress No. 2."

Lin Moyu saluted back, "Hello, I am number 1003."

He couldn't reveal any information, as that was the rule. Xiang Yan looked at Lin Moyu and said, "From now on, let's address you as 'Sir.' Using numbers is too cumbersome."

"Alright," Lin Moyu nodded in agreement. Using numbers was indeed a bit troublesome.

Xiang Yan scrutinized Lin Moyu, "Sir, have you served in the military?"

Lin Moyu admitted directly, "Yes."

Xiang Yan didn't ask further, knowing that he wouldn't get any more information. As a legion commander, he understood what to ask and what not to ask.

He handed Lin Moyu a battlefield token, "This is your battlefield token."

Lin Moyu took the token, imprinted his soul mark on it, and then hung it on his waist. Without a battlefield token, moving around the battlefield would be very inconvenient. The battlefield token served as an identity verification, managed by the Human Emperor Network.

Lin Moyu's actions were smooth and natural, indicating his familiarity with the battlefield token. Xiang Yan then handed him a jade tablet, "All the information about this war is in here. You can take a look."

"Alright," Lin Moyu used his soul to communicate with the jade tablet and began to read the information.

The war between the human race and the Golden Eagle Clan had erupted a month ago. A month ago, human cultivators encountered Golden Eagle Clan cultivators in Zone 2-83. The two sides, being old enemies, immediately engaged in fierce combat.

Such battles happened daily, and with the Golden Eagle Clan's speed, they could attack or retreat at will. If they were determined to escape, the human race couldn't do much to stop them. However, this time was different. The human cultivator was a genius, not only powerful but also possessing a speed-type treasure.

The human race initially feigned weakness, lulling the Golden Eagle Clan into complacency before striking. The Golden Eagle Clan members were not killed but were severely injured and fled. The human cultivator, using the speed-type treasure, pursued relentlessly.

One fled, and one chased, eventually leading them to a mysterious place where they discovered a massive star. This was no ordinary star but one made of crystal jade. Crystal jade is a material of the God Sovereign realm, though the lowest grade, it is still a God Sovereign realm material. A star made entirely of crystal jade was of immeasurable value.

Both sides reported the discovery, and armies were dispatched to claim the crystal jade star. In the initial clash, the human army gained the upper hand. The Golden Eagle Clan army was defeated, and the human army pursued them, accidentally discovering their fortress.

The location of the fortress was highly classified. Once discovered by an enemy, the human race would do everything possible to destroy it. Now, the human race aimed not only to claim the crystal jade star but also to destroy the Golden Eagle Clan's fortress in Zone 2, uprooting their base.

Lin Moyu understood the importance of the fortress. It was a base for a race on the battlefield. To reach any area in the zone, one had to pass through the fortress. If the fortress was destroyed, the clan members in the zone would become homeless orphans. The human race could then deploy their army to sweep through the zone, eliminating most of the Golden Eagle Clan.

For the Golden Eagle Clan, the destruction of the fortress would be an unimaginable disaster. The war had been ongoing for a month, and the human race seemed to have the upper hand. To support the war in Zone 2, the human armies from Zones 3, 4, and 5 had also been mobilized to prevent reinforcements from the Golden Eagle Clan in those zones.

After reading the information, Lin Moyu had a clear understanding of the overall situation. In the Vermilion Bird Battlefield, the human race's main opponent was the Demon Clan. In the Xuanwu Battlefield, the main opponent was the Golden Eagle Clan.

"Since the fortress has been found, it must be destroyed," Lin Moyu thought to himself, slowly opening his eyes.

At this moment, Xiang Yan spoke, "Sir, do you plan to join the army and act with them, or do you intend to lead your own team?"

"If you have any requests, we will do our best to accommodate them."

"I can allocate a ten-thousand-strong army for you to command."
