I am willing to give my blood to water my soil, the first battle of Yao Guang!

The battle on the stage was intense, and the atmosphere was lively.

Ying Changqing and Li Wu arrived, but no one paid attention to them except for Mei San Niang.

She was watching the soldiers fight, and she looked very satisfied.

Suddenly, I sensed Li Wu's presence approaching.

Mei San Niang was surprised to see Ying Changqing and Li Wu appear together.

She observed carefully and indeed could not sense Ying Changqing's presence.

This shocked Mei San Niang even more.

She was very curious about how Ying Changqing managed to disappear like the wind, completely untraceable.

But she still quickly walked down from the high platform, came to Ying Changqing, knelt down on one knee and said, "This humble general, Mei San Niang, pays respects to Prince Ying Changqing."

Mei San Niang's voice suddenly rang out in the noisy valley, and everyone looked at her.

Upon their arrival, they were told that they must pledge allegiance to Prince Ying Changqing of the Qin Empire.

They had never met him, but they knew that their food, clothing, shelter, and the well-being of their families all depended on the prince.

Therefore, he greatly admired and was also very curious about Ying Changqing.

The moment Ying Changqing's name was mentioned, the entire room fell silent.

The two people fighting on the stage also stopped.

Then, everyone saw Ying Changqing wearing a dark black robe, exuding an extraordinary air.

They immediately recalled the portrait that Lord Liwu had shown them and confirmed that the person in front of them was their master.

"Greetings, Prince Ying Changqing!"

After exchanging glances, everyone knelt down on one knee, cupped their hands, and bowed to Ying Changqing with a solemn and respectful attitude.

The sound of kneeling and bowing was deafening, startling the birds and beasts in the valley into scattering in all directions.

Ying Changqing looked at the five hundred soldiers kneeling in front of him.

Although I didn't know these people, their eyes were filled with loyalty and excitement.

This made him even more convinced of Mei San Niang's recommendation.

Ying Changqing walked over to Mei San Niang and helped her up personally.

Then, he waved to the crowd in the distance.

"Get up, everyone!"

A surge of internal energy erupted from Ying Changqing's palm, instantly lifting five hundred soldiers into the air.

The five hundred soldiers were stunned.

When they realized that everyone had been lifted up, their expressions changed from surprise to shock, and finally to disbelief.

They were not ordinary soldiers; they had all practiced the Bloodstained Battle Technique and were proficient in internal energy.

One person can instantly influence five hundred people and forcibly lift them up. What kind of level is that?

That's absolutely impossible!

Commander Mei is usually able to fight ten people at once and stand alone. Everyone recognizes him as an unparalleled master in the world.

But they knew that Commander Mei couldn't lift everyone up with a wave of his hand like Prince Ying Changqing.

The health and well-being of their families, along with their generous treatment, were all provided by Ying Changqing, for which they were deeply grateful and swore to be loyal to him to the death.

With Ying Changqing displaying strength far exceeding that of others, his image became even more imposing, mysterious, and awe-inspiring.

After a long while, the five hundred people finally recovered from their shock and bowed to Ying Changqing, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Ying Changqing nodded slightly and turned to Mei San Niang: "San Niang, you did very well."

"I've come to tell you that I'm going to take action against Lü Buwei, and your master's revenge will be achieved."

Upon hearing this, Mei San Niang's eyes flashed with joy, and she was about to kneel down to thank Ying Changqing again.

Ying Changqing reached out and supported her arm, stopping her from kneeling.

There is no need for formalities between us.

Seeing Mei San Niang's grateful eyes, Ying Changqing patted her on the shoulder and then spoke loudly to the five hundred soldiers.

"Everyone, put on your armor, take your weapons, and assemble at the training ground!"

After the order was given, the five hundred men immediately sprang into action and rushed to one side of the training ground.

They quickly put on their helmets, armor, and weapons, and then lined up neatly in the center of the training ground.

At this moment, Ying Changqing stood on the high platform, looking down at the five hundred elite soldiers.

Although the number of people is small, each one of them is a master in the martial arts world, with cultivation reaching the late stage of the Innate Realm or even the peak of the Innate Realm.

What's even more terrifying is that they've all mastered external martial arts, making them impervious to ordinary swords and knives.

These five hundred men were the most elite troops, capable of killing enemy generals amidst thousands of soldiers and escaping with ease.

Ying Changqing was very satisfied, then looked at everyone seriously and said loudly, "Brothers, we are all Qin people."

"The territory of the Great Qin is the rightful land that our ancestors won with their blood; every inch of it was bought with blood."

"I just received a message."

"A Xiongnu cavalry force is attacking Yaoguang City, intending to seize our land."

"Our parents, brothers, wives, and children are all in Yaoguang City. The Xiongnu want to harm them. Should we allow it?"

No sooner had Ying Changqing finished speaking than a furious roar erupted across the training ground: "We refuse!"

Ying Changqing said loudly again, "Since you don't agree, then the Blood Dragon Cavalry's first battle after its formation will be now."

At this point, Ying Changqing paused, then roared, "Aren't you... afraid?!"

Upon hearing Ying Changqing's question, the training ground erupted in chaos once more, with everyone roaring in anger.

"For the honor of the Empire, for my family, I will never fear death!"

"Damn those Xiongnu! Today I'll show them the might of the men of Qin!"

"The Xiongnu have harassed our borders year after year. My father died by their swords. Today, I will make them pay for their crimes in blood!"

"A blood debt must be paid in blood!"

Five hundred men roared in unison, their murderous aura soaring to the sky.

The roar echoed through the valley, lingering for a long time.

Ying Changqing looked at the soldiers.

His eyes were resolute, filled with hatred, and showed no fear.

He knew that these five hundred people had a grudge against the Xiongnu, had lived on the frontier for many years, and had lost their relatives and friends to the Xiongnu.

Ying Changqing raised his hand, signaling for silence.

The soldiers immediately stopped roaring, and the valley returned to silence.

Ying Changqing confirmed once again that Mei San Niang was indeed skilled at training troops.

He raised his finger to the sky and solemnly declared to the crowd, "I am Ying Changqing, a prince of the Great Qin Empire!"

"I led a large army to defend the land left by my ancestors."

"The Qin people and the Hu people are irreconcilable enemies; they are soldiers in life and soldiers in death."

"Now that the enemy has invaded, we must annihilate them completely, fight to the last moment, and sacrifice our lives for our country."

"I believe that Heaven will bless us who are loyal, and we, the people of Qin, will surely win this bloody battle."

"I am willing to quench my blood on this land, to restore our mountains and rivers to their former glory!"

After Ying Changqing finished speaking, the eyes of the five hundred soldiers turned red, filled with murderous intent that was terrifying.

They had never been on the battlefield before, and at this moment they felt no fear, only deep hatred for the Xiongnu.

"I am willing to quench my blood on this land, to restore our mountains and rivers to their former glory!"

The oath-taking ceremony has ended.

Ying Changqing waved his sleeves and shouted in a loud voice, "Everyone, take your warhorses and follow me into battle!"

He had barely finished speaking when he turned to Mei San Niang and said sternly, "San Niang, bring me my armor!"

Before Mei San Niang left the mountain, Ying Changqing personally supervised the production of these five hundred sets of Blood Dragon Rider Armor.

At the same time, Ying Changqing also had a set custom-made for himself, which he only used for training at the time, but he never expected to use it today.

Now that they were facing the Xiongnu army, Ying Changqing decided to lead the charge in order to boost morale.

This was the Blood Dragon Riders' first battle, and a life-or-death struggle with a vast disparity in troop strength.

The ability to inspire high morale and an unwavering belief in victory is crucial for these 500 elite soldiers.

This directly determines whether they can form an invincible army in the future.
