Protect Our Clan Leader-Chapter 2458 - 43: The Immortal Clan Surrenders! Hua Rui’s Azure Dragon Corps

...

Time flies, and another half a year has passed.

Early spring of the year 3537 of Great Qian Longchang.

Great Qian National Capital, Return to Dragon City, [Hua Rui Princess Mansion].

This Princess Mansion was specially constructed for Princess Hua Rui by the Great Qian Imperial Household, a project that began at her birth and took thirty years to complete.

The Princess Mansion is situated in the precious and limited land of Return to Dragon City, covering a vast area. The architectural style is luxurious, solemn, and majestic, with specifications even surpassing many Prince’s Mansions of Great Qian, fully demonstrating Princess Hua Rui’s status in Great Qian.

At this moment.

Inside the Princess Mansion, the white silk symbolizing the passing of family elders still hung under the eaves of the corridor, but the entire Princess Mansion had already returned to its busy operations.

Some time ago, the senior member of the Emperor Zi’an lineage, Prince Dede, exhausted his lifespan and passed away. The Return to Dragon City was enveloped in mourning white, and prominent families nationwide sent representatives to pay their respects.

As an in-law family, the Wang family also sent a considerable number of people, led by Wang Anye, who had just returned from the Sacred Domain, along with his two wives from the Great Qian Imperial Household and some juniors with bloodline connections to the Imperial Household.

Wang Jidie was bestowed the title [Hua Rui Princess], not merely as an honorary title.

Since childhood, she exhibited remarkable talent and received meticulous nurturing from both the Wang family and the Great Qian Imperial Household. In terms of bloodline talent alone, she was slightly inferior to Wang Fugui, the direct long line member of the "Rich" generation from the Wang family.

Now, at the age of only two hundred and fifteen, not only has Wang Jidie reached the Divine Power Territory, but due to her exceptional talent in military development and leadership in battle, after graduating from the Wang Family School, she joined the Da Qian Military for further training.

Over the years, she ascended through the military ranks and now stands as a key leader in charge of building Great Qian’s powerful military.

Hua Rui Princess Mansion—inside the council chamber.

Princess Hua Rui had already changed out of her mourning attire, wearing only a touch of white on her arm. Her blue military uniform highlighted her heroic and upright demeanor, exuding extraordinary authority.

Looking closely, there was a little green dragon lazily entwined around her arm.

In her younger days, Princess Hua Rui was not one to rest easy, frequently getting into various troubles. Over the years, the once carefree and willful little princess had grown up, taking on the heavy responsibility of Great Qian’s military development. Her temperament had matured significantly, bearing the demeanor of a significant leader.

The talents under her Princess Mansion were also abundant.

With the extensive development over the years, Great Qian’s current talent reserve was no longer comparable to that of the past. The young talents under the Princess Mansion, in terms of quality alone, were on par with the Princess Mansion of the Su Yun era, slightly surpassing it due to the inclusion of some young elite members of the Wang family.

Young talents from various prominent families across Great Qian gathered here, nearly filling the entirety of the large council chamber.

"Your Highness, the Princess." Standing at the forefront of the crowd, the elite from the Imperial Household, Wu Zhixing, bowed with cupped hands, "After more than a hundred years of development and transition, our Azure Dragon Corps has been honed into a sharp blade. It is time to venture into the exterior demonic world and make significant achievements."

Wu Zhixing is around the same age as Wang Shouzhe. Back during Wang Liyao’s sword trial in the Imperial City, which struck through the younger generation of Return to Dragon City, he had also fought against Wang Liyao. He was slightly less skilled than Liyao at the time, but over three hundred years, the gap between him and Liyao had grown immeasurable.

Nevertheless, although he could not compare with those top-end prodigies of the Wang family, across the Divine Martial World, he was considered an elite among the young human generation.

Currently, Wu Zhixing serves at Hua Rui Princess Mansion, holding the position of the first battalion commander of the Azure Dragon Corps.

Princess Hua Rui nodded slightly, "The sharpening of the sword for a hundred years indeed means it is time for our Great Qian’s Azure Dragon Corps to emerge and test their edge."

Upon these words, the young people in the council chamber immediately became excited, each showing a high fighting spirit, eager to make meritorious achievements.

Many of them were young lords or ladies from prominent families, enlisting in response to the call, naturally seeking to achieve major accomplishments.

Today’s Great Qian was no longer the Great Qian of the past.

Emperor Zi’an heavily invested in infrastructure and civilian development while pouring vast resources into military construction, especially the elite Azure Dragon Corps under the direct command of Grand Marshal Hua Rui Princess. The soldiers were valiant, with even the weakest logistics personnel possessing Spirit Platform Realm combat power.

Evidently, the Azure Dragon Corps presently matched up to the elite combat units of the Immortal Dynasty, with the configuration of Hua Rui Princess Mansion directly paralleling the Su Yun Princess Mansion of the Immortal Dynasty.

But that is just for now.

In Hua Rui’s plans, the current strength of the Azure Dragon Corps is not its limit. In the future, it will unquestionably become a top-tier corps capable of matching elite armies from the Divine Martial Era.

To achieve this, talent selection, material supply, and subsequent training plans are the top priorities.

Under Hua Rui’s leadership, the young elites of the Princess Mansion expressed their views freely, earnestly discussing the ensuing strategic deployments.

After half a day, the meeting concluded. Most people dispersed to attend to their tasks, but Princess Hua Rui retained some confidants, seemingly to discuss some confidential matters further.

The head of the household at the doorway perceptively closed the doors to the council chamber once more.
