The seventy-first day of the Great Chaos.
On the training ground, the sound of drums filled the air, the drums and gongs resonated in the sky.
Hour of Si (9-11 AM).
The new Emperor Zhao Chong, Empress Dowager Xiao Yunxi of the Eastern Palace, and the Lord of Anyang, Xiao Yunqi, came with civil and military officials to send off the great army.
The Emperor and Xiao Yunqi personally offered a toast to Chen Mo, celebrating in advance the triumphant return of the army.
On the parade platform, Chen Mo donned the Celestial Spirit Heart Guard Armor, with a red plume fluttering in the wind. Standing nearly 1.9 meters tall, he appeared exceptionally gallant, with a longsword at his waist, silent but seemingly commanding the presence of the 200,000 soldiers present.
Beside him, Deputy General Dai Xishan and the First Grade Martial Artist Li Yang, sent by Xiao Yunqi, along with two Second-Grade Martial Artists, Feng Ji and Wind Well, seemed merely as background figures.
