Lin Feng shifted his thoughts slightly, and an attribute panel that only he could see appeared before his eyes.

Four hundred infantry, one hundred Crossbowmen, all level 13, well-equipped, and strictly disciplined.

Lin Feng slowly withdrew his gaze and looked again at the four hundred silent-as-iron infantry phalanxes within the city.

Under the glow of the firelight, the tips of the halberds were like a forest, and every face seemed to be carved from the same mold.

It was not that their features were similar, but that their temperament—silent, {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} resolute, and obedient—was identical.

From the beginning at Black Wind Camp, all the way to today.

From being alone, to five hundred elite soldiers.

From a wandering bandit whose life was uncertain, to a town-level Lord with a regular army.

Lin Feng clenched his fists, and an indescribable sense of pride surged in his chest.

This was his Beacon Guards.

This was the iron-blooded army he had built with his own hands.

Tomorrow, they would become the sharp blade that trampled Baigui County; in the future, they would become the unshakeable cornerstone of Beacon Fire Town.

"Good." He said the word in a low voice; it was not loud, but it seemed to fall into everyone's heart.

Then, he turned around and looked toward the outside of the West Gate.

The plains under the night were boundless, shimmering with a faint silvery-gray under the moonlight.

No one could see what was hidden in the depths of the darkness, but everyone knew that something was brewing there.

Behind him, Shadow Snake, Zhao Hu, Tie Dun, Wang Wu, Arrow Eye, Su Yurou, A Wang, and Scarface Liu lined up in a row.

Everyone was fully armed, their eyes sharp, staring at the plains outside the city that were about to welcome a bloody battle.

"Lord." Zhao Hu walked to his side, battle intent flickering in his eyes, "This wave of Nightmare Tide tonight, the intensity shouldn't be low, right?"

Lin Feng nodded slightly: "According to the patterns, our territory has developed too quickly; what comes tonight will definitely be the peak of a Level 2 tide."

"Peak Level 2 tide?" Tie Dun scratched his head, "Doesn't that mean there will be rare bosses above level 15?"

"It's possible." Lin Feng said indifferently, "But no matter what comes, tonight is just an appetizer."

He paused, his gaze becoming deeper: "The main course is for tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, fiery light flashed in everyone's eyes.

Tomorrow—the decisive battle with Baigui County.

Tonight's Nightmare Tide is nothing more than the final drill before the battle.

Lin Feng looked toward the plains outside the city again.

In the distance, the night was churning even more violently. The unsettling energy fluctuations in the air were so intense they could almost be touched by hand.

9:50. 9:55. 9:58. 9:59. 10:00 sharp!

Boom!!!

Five hundred meters outside the West Gate, space was violently torn apart as if by an invisible giant hand, and a huge fissure suddenly opened!

Gray-black necromantic energy gushed out like a tide, instantly dyeing that area a deathly gray-white.

Then, they came.

Blue Star, Great Xia, a certain city.

In a slightly messy apartment, Chen Hao had climbed out of bed early.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes, grabbed the immersive glasses from the bedside table, and impatiently put them on.

7:15 AM.

In the retinal display projected by the lenses, the popularity of the 【Beacon Fire Town - Lin Feng】 official livestream channel was jumping wildly.

【Popularity: 320 million】

【Great Xia Region Lord Channel Popularity Ranking: 1st Place】

Chen Hao was stunned for a moment, then grinned. Ever since the news spread that Beacon Fire Town had taken the initiative to launch a territory war against Baigui County of Sakura Country, the popularity of this livestream channel had skyrocketed.

Today is the monthly Nightmare Tide, which pushed the heat to a new high.

He quickly glanced at the bullet chat area.

Good heavens, it was overwhelming, colorful, and in languages from all over the world.

【USA Netizen】: Crazy! A town declaring war on a county?

【Europa Netizen】: It's been thirty years, and I've never heard of such a crazy thing. Is there something wrong with this Lord Lin's brain?

【Korea Netizen】: Even our great Korea wouldn't dare to play like this; Great Xia people are truly ruthless.

【Sakura Country Netizen】: Baka! A small Lord who just upgraded to a town dares to provoke our Baigui County? Family Head Umekawa has a rare Lord template!

【Sakura Country Netizen】: Just wait and see, tomorrow we'll let him know what a gap is!

【Great Xia Netizen】: Bullshit! What is Baigui County? Our Lord Lin can take on ten at once!

【Great Xia Netizen】: Exactly! Sakura dogs, get out of the livestream! 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

【Great Xia Netizen】: Asking timidly, am I the only one who noticed that Lord Lin's back is very handsome? I want to marry him!

【Great Xia Netizen】: Wake up, upstairs, he's eighteen, you're thirty-eight!

【Great Xia Netizen】: So what if I'm thirty-eight? A woman three years older holds a gold brick; I'm holding six and a half!

The bullet chat was in an uproar, but most people thought Lin Feng was crazy.

A town-level declaring war on a county-level; in the thirty years since the Nightmare descended on Blue Star, there has indeed never been a precedent.

Only a small portion of rational netizens believed that as the world's youngest town-level Lord, Lin Feng must have some unknown trump card.

Chen Hao watched the bullet chat while casting his gaze toward the livestream screen.

In the picture, on the wall of the West Gate of Beacon Fire Town, a tall and straight figure stood proudly.

Dark red leather armor, a long spear slanted across his back; although his face could not be seen, that figure standing there was like a mountain.

Above and below the city wall, four hundred soldiers dressed in dark brown leather armor and holding bronze halberds were lined up neatly, the halberd tips like a forest, motionless.

Chen Hao narrowed his eyes, looked carefully at the attire of those soldiers, and then his fingers tapped rapidly.

【Am I seeing things? Why do the professional soldiers of Beacon Fire Town look like the Wei Wu Soldiers of our country's ancient times?】

As soon as the bullet comment was sent, it immediately sparked a heated discussion.

【It really is! That leather armor style, that halberd, that standing posture, it's definitely Warring States style!】

【It's not like, it is! Could it be that Beacon Fire Town possesses the heaven-defying existence of a low-level special barracks?】

【Low-level special barracks? What is that?】
