 ### Chapter 1708: His Life or Death Has Nothing to Do with Me

Xiang Xiaoxing, who had been silent all along, widened her eyes at this moment.

Xiang Yan actually said that he could allocate a ten-thousand-strong army for Lin Moyu to command. Commanding an army is no small matter, especially a ten-thousand-strong army.

Even she did not have the qualifications to command such a large force.

What qualifications did this person from Divine City, number 1003, have?

Just when she thought Lin Moyu would readily agree, he shook his head and declined, "Thank you for your kind offer, Commander, but I plan to act alone."

Xiang Yan was slightly taken aback, not immediately understanding Lin Moyu's intention.

Lin Moyu added, "You don't need to worry about me. I have my own methods. You should continue with your plans as usual. Just inform the commander of Fortress No. 2 to allow me some freedom of movement."

Lin Moyu's choice surprised Xiang Yan, "Sir, your choice seems a bit unwise. The battlefield is very dangerous."

Lin Moyu smiled but spoke with a slightly serious tone, "I am well aware of the dangers of the battlefield. You mentioned you would do your best to cooperate with me, and I hope you will keep your word."

Seeing Lin Moyu's insistence, Xiang Yan no longer tried to persuade him, "Since that's the case, I won't say more. Please take care, sir."

"Then I will take my leave," Lin Moyu nodded slightly and turned to leave.

Xiang Yan signaled to Xiang Xiaoxing, who immediately went over to guide Lin Moyu.

After all, this was the core area, and there were many restricted zones.

Xiang Yan sat back down, his fists clenched, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Moments later, Xiang Xiaoxing returned.

Xiang Yan asked, "Where did he go?"

Xiang Xiaoxing shook her head, "He took the teleportation array to Fortress No. 2."

Xiang Yan nodded, "It seems he is a man of action."

Xiang Xiaoxing, puzzled, asked, "Father, why did you want him to command a ten-thousand-strong army? That's not something just anyone can do."

"Even though he is from Divine City, we've seen many people from there. How many of them have the ability to command?"

"And from what I sensed, he seems to be just a God King."

Xiang Yan replied, "No need to guess; he is indeed a God King, and only at the sixth rank."

Xiang Yan, being a sixth-rank God Sovereign, could see through Lin Moyu's hidden information.

Xiang Xiaoxing frowned, "Why would Divine City send a sixth-rank God King here? What's the use? Is he here to die?"

Xiang Yan shook his head slightly, "I don't know the specific reason. We just received a task from Divine City and are following the rules."

"But since he is from Divine City, whether he is useful or not, we must do our best to protect him."

"Do you think I would give him a ten-thousand-strong army without a deputy?"

Xiang Xiaoxing began to understand Xiang Yan's approach. On the surface, it seemed like Lin Moyu was given command of ten thousand soldiers.

In reality, these soldiers would not fully obey Lin Moyu's orders. The true commander would be the deputy assigned to him.

The purpose of the ten-thousand-strong army was actually to protect Lin Moyu.

After all, he was from Divine City. If he had an extraordinary background and died here, it would be troublesome.

Xiang Yan preferred to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Xiang Xiaoxing said solemnly, "But he refused."

Xiang Yan nodded, "Yes, he refused. Since he refused, it has nothing to do with us."

"Even if something happens to him, it won't be our responsibility."

"Even the high-ranking officials in Divine City must follow the rules of the human race. That's the bottom line."

Xiang Xiaoxing slowly nodded, fully understanding now.

If Lin Moyu had accepted, the ten-thousand-strong army would have ensured his safety.

Even if he disobeyed orders, it wouldn't matter.

After all, Lin Moyu was not part of the military and had no authority over military matters.

Now that Lin Moyu chose to act alone, he was completely detached from the army. His life or death had nothing to do with them.

Neither Xiang Xiaoxing nor Xiang Yan knew Lin Moyu's specific task.

Their orders were simply to cooperate with Lin Moyu as much as possible.

Now, this arrangement suited everyone. They wouldn't interfere with each other, and everyone could go about their business.

Lin Moyu used the teleportation array to reach Fortress No. 2.

The battlefield token served as his temporary identification, granting him both significant and limited authority.

His authority was significant in that he could move freely within the areas of Fortresses No. 1 to No. 3.

He could even receive some assistance from the military to a certain extent.

However, his authority was limited in that he could not enter areas beyond Fortress No. 4, and his activities were strictly confined.

But this didn't matter as long as it didn't affect his task completion.

The atmosphere in Fortress No. 2 was even more tense than in Fortress No. 1.

Not only the military but also the cultivators here wore solemn expressions.

The human race was united. When war broke out, the cultivators didn't retreat but instead flocked to Fortress No. 2.

Currently, besides the fortress's own army, there were over 100,000 cultivators who had come to join the fight.

The weakest among them were God Kings. True Gods were no longer qualified to appear on such a battlefield.

The human race needed warriors, not cannon fodder.

Lin Moyu observed the hurried cultivators on the streets, reflecting on the recent events.

"Xiang Xiaoxing and Xiang Yan share a similar appearance and temperament. They must be father and daughter."

"The father is a legion commander, and the daughter is a captain. This is a military family."

"Giving me ten thousand soldiers seemed like granting me authority, but it was actually to protect me. The real power wouldn't be in my hands."

"It seems the Human Emperor Network didn't tell them my true task."

"They might think I'm some big shot's son from Divine City, here to gain some experience."

Lin Moyu found it amusing, "Since I'm here, let's end this war."

With this thought, Lin Moyu returned to the teleportation array, selected his destination, and headed to Zone 2-102.

Zone 102 was not close to the Golden Eagle Clan's fortress.

According to the battlefield map, Zone 102 was already behind the Golden Eagle Clan's fortress.

There weren't any significant tasks here, so human cultivators rarely ventured into this area.

However, Zone 102 produced a mineral called Golden Light Stone.

This mineral was not very useful to the human race but was valuable to the Golden Eagle Clan.

By absorbing Golden Light Stone, the Golden Eagle Clan could enhance their speed.

Speed was the Golden Eagle Clan's advantage, and they would spare no effort to maximize it.

Therefore, encounters with the Golden Eagle Clan were frequent in Zone 102.

A few minutes later, Lin Moyu emerged from a shattered asteroid.

In the silent starry sky, such asteroids were countless, numbering in the trillions.

The human race had built the teleportation array within the core of a shattered asteroid, without stationing any troops, making it almost impossible to detect.

This was the edge of Zone 102, nearly a billion kilometers from the Golden Light Stone production area.

At Lin Moyu's speed of 150,000 kilometers per second, it would take just over ten minutes to reach.

Lin Moyu transformed into a stream of light, streaking through the dark starry sky.

Ten minutes later, he saw specks of golden light in his vision.

These golden lights were Golden Light Stones.

Among the Golden Light Stones, there were even more dazzling golden lights, belonging to the Golden Eagle Clan.

"Found them!" Lin Moyu smiled coldly and shot forward.
