Ninth Legion

"Given that it involves a racial war, it's no surprise the Virtual Universe Company employs ruthless methods," Luo Feng mused, observing the detailed information within the email on his screen. "Origin of the Matter: After a thorough investigation by the Virtual Universe Company, it was confirmed that Yao Hai, the patriarch of the Imperial Yao Hai family from the Dreamy Abyss Empire within the Ganwu Universe Nation, and his disciple, Jeffries—both Immortal Gods—had been subjected to soul invasion and control by powerful members of the Insectoid Race. These two Immortal Gods, Yao Hai and Jeffries, had become pawns of the Insectoid Race. The entire Yao Hai family had been exploited by the Insectoid Race, secretly infiltrated over 3.22 million years. On the outer battlefield, due to the Yao Hai family acting as internal spies, humanity suffered immense losses. Mission Overview: All suspected members of the Yao Hai family, along with 120 million elite members of 18 organizations secretly controlled by them, as well as the Immortal Gods Yao Hai and Jeffries, are to be eliminated! Target Strength Details: 1. Yao Hai and Jeffries were originally ordinary Immortal Gods of the Ganwu Universe Nation. However, after obtaining secret soul-related scriptures from the Insectoid Race, their strength greatly advanced. Yao Hai now possesses the power of a Marquis-level Immortal God, and Jeffries has the strength of a high-tier Immortal Lord. 2. Among the 120 million ordinary members, there are 39 Sector Lords, 812 Domain Lords, 91,256 Universe-level individuals, with the remainder being Planet-level and Star-level of varying numbers. Mission Details: 1. Eliminate Yao Hai (Marquis-level Immortal God): Mission completion increases by 20%. Failure to eliminate results in a 20% deduction from completion. 2. Eliminate Jeffries (High-tier Immortal Lord): Mission completion increases by 10%. Failure to eliminate results in a 10% deduction from completion. 3. Eliminate all 120 million people: Mission completion increases by 15%. If even one person is not killed, it counts as a failure, but there is no penalty for this failure. 4. Personally eliminate target Gaisili (Sector Lord First-tier): Mission completion increases by 10%. No penalty for failure. Personally eliminate target Aifu (Sector Lord First-tier): Mission completion increases by 10%. No penalty for failure. Personally eliminate target Tanbulin (Sector Lord Second-tier): Mission completion increases by 15%. No penalty for failure. Personally eliminate target Leide (Sector Lord Third-tier): Mission completion increases by 20%. No penalty for failure. Available Resources: 1. Ganwu Universe Nation's Ninth Legion (Army Group) 2. Golden Horn Clan's 'Tawen Department' Action Squad 3. Virtual Universe Company Intelligence System Mission Deadline: 1 year (Any sub-mission not completed by the deadline will be deemed a failure). Mission Reward: Total completion percentage multiplied by 200,000 equals the final reward points. Mission Acceptor: Luo Feng." "Quite a lengthy mission brief," Luo Feng remarked, smiling as he sat at his desk, gazing at his laptop screen. "At least the Virtual Universe Company isn't making me do everything myself. If I had to personally kill a Marquis-level Immortal God, I'd just give up on the mission." "Golden Horn Clan's Tawen Department?" Babata, perched on Luo Feng's shoulder, stared at the screen. The email content was extensive. Beyond the basic information, it also included introductions to the Ninth Legion and the Golden Horn Clan's Tawen Department! "This time, I need to kill 120 million people. I definitely can't do it alone, let alone ensure not a single one escapes," Luo Feng murmured. "Having the Ninth Legion take action is perfect. As for dealing with those two Immortal Gods, defeating them is easy, but killing an Immortal God is an incredibly difficult task. That's precisely where the Tawen Department Action Squad comes in." The Ninth Army Group was very powerful. The Tawen Department Action Squad, moreover, was a peak combat force Immortal God squad. "There's no time to lose. I plan to depart today for the Dreamy Abyss Empire's 'Red Dawn Star' to rendezvous with the Golden Horn Clan personnel," Luo Feng stated solemnly. ... That same day, after a brief word with his wife, son, parents, and younger brother, Luo Feng quietly departed Earth aboard the Yunmo Star Ship, accompanied by the Immortal God Dilun and five Sector Lords. ... The Yunmo Star Ship advanced through the dark universe at a constant speed of 50 times the speed of light. Inside the ship's control room. Luo Feng and Dilun both sat there. "Dilun, with your experience, how should I approach this mission to achieve the highest possible completion, ideally 100%?" Luo Feng asked, looking at the black-robed, bald Dilun before him. In terms of experience and knowledge, he was indeed far inferior to Dilun. For this first mission, Luo Feng dared not be negligent. "Among these four sub-missions," Dilun stated gravely, "the most troublesome is actually eliminating the 120 million targets. After all, there are simply too many people. Once action is truly taken, it will cause panic and flight among the target organizations. 120 million people scattering across the cosmos, trying to kill every single one, is simply an unrealistic endeavor." Luo Feng nodded slightly. The cosmos was vast. If they simply hid in some corner of the universe, finding them would be incredibly difficult. "Therefore, among the four sub-missions, eliminating the 120 million targets requires extreme caution," Dilun continued. "If you don't act, don't act at all. But if you do, you must be as swift as lightning, slaughtering all 120 million targets within an extremely short timeframe." "Understood," Luo Feng nodded. "Eliminating the two Immortal Gods, Yao Hai and Jeffries, also carries a certain degree of danger," Dilun said, his brows furrowed, his eyes cold and deep. "Any Immortal God is incredibly difficult to kill, let alone a Marquis-level Immortal God. Moreover, if news leaks and causes them to escape prematurely, they can instantly teleport to an extremely distant location in the universe via Divine Kingdom teleportation, making them impossible to find." Luo Feng nodded repeatedly. Indeed. This point absolutely could not be overlooked. "For the two sub-missions of eliminating Yao Hai and Jeffries, failure will result in a deduction from your completion," Dilun emphasized. "Failure not only means no completion percentage gained but also a negative deduction." "Mm," Luo Feng nodded. Suppose he completed the other two sub-missions. Personally eliminating the four Sector Lords would grant 55% completion, and slaughtering all 120 million targets would grant 15% completion. But if he failed to eliminate the two Immortal Gods... that would be a 30% deduction... leaving him with only 40% mission completion in the end. "Finally, there's the personal elimination mission," Dilun said, smiling. "Actually, these four Sector Lords aren't particularly important to the Virtual Universe Company, but their strength is just right for you to practice on, serving as a test of your combat abilities." Luo Feng nodded. Four Sector Lords: two First-tier Sector Lords, one Second-tier Sector Lord, and one Third-tier Sector Lord. Only the Virtual Universe Company would likely arrange for a Domain Lord-level Ninth-tier genius to undertake such a task. "Moreover, this personal elimination mission accounts for a high completion percentage. Eliminating these four alone grants 55% completion, which is even higher than eliminating the two Immortal Gods," Dilun chuckled. Neither Luo Feng nor Dilun. Regarding the Virtual Universe Company's slaughter of 120 million people, they were merely astonished and awed, without the slightest objection or dissatisfaction. This was because Luo Feng possessed inherited memories, and Dilun had lived a very long life with high status. Both were acutely aware of how brutal racial conflicts were in the vast universe! Even if some powerful individuals from other races, secretly infiltrated among humans, were exposed and couldn't escape, they would likely go on a frenzied rampage, killing trillions of people or more! Therefore! Once it was determined that someone had betrayed the entire human race and was working for other races, they were to be executed without mercy! "Your Highness, from here to Red Dawn Star, it will take approximately 16 days at the Yunmo Star Ship's speed," Dilun said with a smile. "Your Highness, you should go rest." "Mm." Luo Feng nodded and immediately returned to his resting cabin. As Luo Feng returned to his cabin, a wisp of his consciousness swiftly connected to the Virtual Universe Network, entering the Amethyst Island of the Virtual Universe. Virtual Universe, Amethyst Island. This dazzling, seemingly endless island, entirely composed of amethyst, was the Ganwu Branch's office. "Envoy." "Envoy." Luo Feng walked through the majestic main palace. Along the way, Domain Lords, Sector Lords, and even Immortal Gods respectfully saluted him upon seeing him. A moment later... Luo Feng arrived at the entrance of a reception hall. "Luo Feng, Luo Feng, come over quickly!" Purple Lightning Marquis called out enthusiastically. "The Ninth Legion Commander has been here for a long time." "Oh?" Luo Feng smiled and entered the reception hall with Purple Lightning Marquis. Inside the spacious reception hall, there was a round table made of black rock. Tall thrones were arranged around the table, and three individuals were currently seated on them: Golden Feather Marquis, Black Annihilation Marquis, and a tall, slender man completely enveloped in azure combat armor. This tall, slender man was approximately 8 meters tall, with skin the color of steel, cold, deep eyes, and purplish lips. Even seated high on his throne, he exuded a chilling aura, as if his entire being had transformed into endless lightning, making others hesitant to approach him. Behind the tall, slender man stood a dense crowd of Immortal Gods, easily numbering a hundred at a glance. "Ninth Legion Commander?" Luo Feng asked, smiling as he walked over. "Envoy," the tall, slender man also descended from his throne and approached with a smile. They looked at each other, both smiling. "By the Virtual Universe Company's command, my Ganwu Universe Ninth Army Group's million warriors await your orders, Envoy, and will not dare to disobey," the tall, slender man said in a deep voice, like the low clang of two iron blocks striking each other. "There's no 'ordering around' involved. We are all fighting for the Virtual Universe Company, for humanity," Luo Feng replied with a smile. Upon hearing this, the tall, slender man's smile widened. After all, he, the dignified Ninth Legion Commander, was also a Marquis-level Immortal God with extremely high status. So, being ordered around by a mere Domain Lord-level Ninth-tier youngster would naturally cause some displeasure. However, Luo Feng's politeness preserved his pride as a Marquis-level Immortal God. "Luo Feng," the black-veiled maiden said with a smile, "Let me give you a brief introduction to the Ninth Legion." Luo Feng listened attentively. "The Ninth Legion, also known as the Ninth Army Group, is comprised of 100 legions," the black-veiled maiden explained. "Each legion consists of one Immortal God, 100 Sector Lords, 1,000 Domain Lords, and 10,000 Universe-level individuals. The entire Ninth Legion has over a million cosmic warriors." Luo Feng nodded. Regular armies dispatched to the outer battlefield typically numbered over ten thousand per legion. Luo Feng's guard army, however, consisted of only 1 Immortal God, 10 Sector Lords, 100 Domain Lords, and 1,000 Universe-level individuals, a scale reduced to one-tenth. This was primarily because it was a guard army... emphasizing quality over quantity! Thus, every Sector Lord in the guard army was at the peak of the Sector Lord level and had received acknowledgment from the origin laws. Regular cosmic armies fighting on the battlefield, however, could not afford such luxury. In a legion with 100 Sector Lords, perhaps only a handful would be peak Sector Lords acknowledged by the origin laws.
