Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 1448: Chapter 1447: Soldier’s Spirits Head West, Never to Fade!

The venue for the opening ceremony of the War Department’s grand competition was Dragon Country’s largest training hall.

This training hall had been constructed with sixty large arenas and seating for eighty thousand spectators within the venue. Spanning an area greater than Dragon Country’s largest stadium, it covered 300,000 square meters.

Its shape was akin to a bird’s nest.

In front of the training hall, there was a large square, and standing atop that square were nine golden dragons.

Moreover, if one looked down from the sky, they could see that the large square was shaped like a Yin Yang Tai Chi symbol.

As for the nine golden dragons, they were positioned at nine spots within the Yin Yang Tai Chi layout.

This was a geomancy pattern known as ’Nine Dragons Suppress Yin and Yang,’ capable of drawing spiritual energy from all directions and suppressing malevolent influences.

At the moment, everyone was gathered at the door of the training hall.

Once the opening ceremony officially began, they would enter in an orderly formation.

As for the order of entry, the Martial Arts Special Combat Teams would go in first.

The higher the ranking, the earlier they would enter!

At this time, the Martial Arts Special Operation Teams and Regular Special Operation Teams from Dragon Country’s Thirty-Six Major Battle Zones were all standing on the large square outside the training hall, led by their instructors.

Additionally, the Martial Arts Special Operation Teams and Regular Special Operation Teams from the War Departments of Yingjiang Country, Xiong Country, Yinghua Country, and Nanyang Jade Country’s major battle zones were also prominently present.

Such an opening ceremony for the War Department’s grand competition did not cater to ordinary spectators.

It was an internal competition and would not be announced to the public.

Nor would it be broadcast or recorded for transmission.

At that time, a host appeared on the high platform.

This host, meticulously selected by the Dragon Country War Department, not only possessed the strength of a Sect Master but also had the utmost professional hosting proficiency.

After climbing onto the high platform, he laughingly said, ”Today, our Dragon Country’s annual War Department grand competition officially raises the curtain.”

”For the next fifteen days, our Dragon Country’s Thirty-Six Major Battle Zones, as well as the Four Great Overseas Battlefields, will undergo a fifteen-day-long War Department grand competition.”

”During these fifteen days, we will determine the ultimate champion through group matches and knockout rounds.”

”Warriors, please expend every ounce of effort in the next fifteen days to defend the flags in your hands!!”

He spoke with impassioned ardor.

And below, the Team Leaders of the Thirty-Six Major Battle Zones of Dragon Country, at that moment, raised the flags belonging to their various Special Combat Teams!

Tang Jun also raised the flag of their Piranha Special Combat Team.

The flag of the Piranha Special Combat Team featured a school of piranhas, a group unafraid of death.

Everyone shouted with vigor:

”Wind, wind, wind! Great Wind!!”

In an instant, a great wind arose, and the clouds scattered!

The roar of the soldiers echoed mightily through Jiuxiao!

This motto, inherited from the Qin army’s Iron Cavalry, is still used by the military of Dragon Country’s War Department.

The Iron Cavalry’s thousands of years of heritage imparted more than just the ’Great Wind’ motto; it conveyed Dragon Country’s millennia of military prowess, dominance as fierce as the tiger consuming miles of terrain.

The soldiers of the Four Great Overseas Battle Zones, upon witnessing this scene, also felt their blood boiling.

Soldiers all have their homelands to protect and their civilians to guard. However, a soldier’s spirit knows no bounds!

A soldier who adheres to the principles of defending their country, staying strong without overbearing the weak, and remaining fearless before the mighty is admirable, regardless of their country of origin. Such a soldier is indeed the embodiment of the warrior spirit!

Even Lin Dong was moved by the atmosphere of the place, feeling his blood surge within his chest.

”Then next, let our Dragon Country War Department’s Four Great War Gods jointly announce the official start of this War Department grand competition!”

Upon this declaration, the Four Great War Gods of Dragon Country made their way to the high platform.

First was Dragon Country’s First War God, safeguarding the capital, the War God of the Nation!

He jumped into the air, like a Golden Buddha, and landed stably in the central position on the high platform.

Following was Dragon Country’s Second War God, whose legend endures despite falls from grace, the Dragon King War God!

Who can forget the one clad in blood-stained clothes hemp, repelling an army of a million?

Who can forget his utter devotion to his country, putting his life on the line?

A god who fell from the peak only to climb up again—who would dare say he couldn’t reach even higher summits?

The Dragon King War God once again radiated with vitality, stepping across the void and descending next to the War God of the Nation.

Then came the Third War God, who had defended the frontier for two decades, the Black Dragon War God, Xiao Yaowang!

The Xiao Family, with three generations of staunch loyalty, had buried bones three hundred strong, filling a hall with honours.

The surname Xiao marked tombstones replete with valor, covering the extensive Martyrs’ Park at the frontier.

He soared into the air, like a dragon from the ninth heaven, exuding carefree elegance as he landed beside the War God of the Nation.

Last came Lin Dong!

Becoming a War God at twenty-one, with no predecessors and no parallel since.

Though his laurels no longer adorned him, who dared to smirk at a future without a true man?

If ever he let the tiger descend the mountain, the sky would surely be painted with blood.

If ever he aspired to reach the clouds, he would surely ascend Dragon Country to its pinnacle!

Like the other Three Great War Gods, Lin Dong too jumped into the air, subsequently landing firmly beside the Dragon King War God.

Hence, the Four Great War Gods ascended the platform.

All the soldiers’ blood boiled even more.

At that moment, the host spoke, ”Would the Four Great War Gods please announce together that this year’s Dragon Country War Department grand competition officially begins!”

With that, the Four Great War Gods jointly declared:

”I, the War God of the Nation, announce that Dragon Country’s War Department grand competition officially begins!”

”I, the Dragon King War God, announce that the War Department’s grand competition officially begins!”

”I, the Black Dragon War God, announce that the War Department’s grand competition officially begins!”

”I, the Asura War God, announce that the War Department’s grand competition officially begins!”

After the Four Great War Gods declared the official start of the Dragon Country War Department’s grand competition, all soldiers’ blood boiled. All Team Leaders raised the flags in their hands once again.

With the flags fluttering, all Dragon Nation Warriors at that moment again roared:

”Wind, wind, wind! Great Wind!!!”

The Iron Cavalry, with a thousand-year legacy, the steel steeds, the might swallowing miles like a tiger, the scenes of warriors battling fiercely upon the battleground—it was as if they crossed thousands of years, spanning time and space, descending once more upon this very land.

When the great wind stirs, the clouds disperse,

May fierce guardians watch over all sides,

Dragon Soul returns, shaking Jiuxiao,

Soldier’s spirits remain, never to vanish!
