Global Card Master: Start Awakening the Classic of Mountains and Seas

Chapter 273 The Ghostly Light Clan Reappears!
The audience fell silent instantly.

"I have always been just a reckless man who is used to showing off his personal bravery."

"If we want to talk about the promise, it has to be made by the old Speaker of the Parliament and the two commanders of this expedition."

"But I think they can't make a promise either."

"haha, yes."

"No need."

The veterans responded one after another, saying that this was a rare scene and picture in the Blue Army’s departure ceremonies of all generations.

Jiang Ming waited patiently until the scene calmed down before continuing to speak:
"Now, here, I can only promise you one thing."

"In this expedition, from beginning to end, regardless of victory or defeat, as long as I am not dead and can still move, Jiang Ming will stand in front of all the seniors and fight to the last moment."

He finished his words.

Amid the noise at the scene, he bowed slightly, then turned around and walked to the corner of the back row of the rostrum with Fan Huai and others.

This was the first time in history that Jiang Ming had spoken in a manner that completely supported the Federation.

As a result, as Fan Huai and the other two walked forward, they frequently looked towards Jiang Ming.

"If I say I got drunk accidentally, would you believe me?"

Jiang Ming scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

The four of them had already been bound together, and when Jiang Ming said this, it also meant that the same was true for the three of them.

However, they did not keep looking at Jiang Ming because of this idea.

"letter"

Fan Huai nodded.

"But you were so handsome just now, Brother Ming."

Xiang Yao and Shen Meng immediately nodded.

Apparently they both thought so too.

After they went down, old General Gerard was still standing on the podium. He walked out from the inside of the podium.

Standing up behind him were Deputy Commander Xu Chongshan and other federal high-ranking officials of this expedition.

According to the general process and people's speculation, what will follow will probably be a long speech, one after another.

But, no.

These people walked out together and stood beside the podium.

"Thank you."

Said General Gerard.

After saying this, he stood aside with an upright military posture.

Then, "Thank you." Xu Chongshan also walked out, like a guilty man, bowed deeply, and bent his upper body towards the veterans.

In sync with him, a group of federal high-ranking officials also said thank you and bowed their heads like guilty men.

"Thank you."

A voice began to be heard among the crowd watching and seeing off the farewell at the square.

then
"Thank you", "Thank you".
On the square and in front of the TV, countless people from all over the world, of different races, spoke with countless voices.

The federal top brass did not say even one more word. The oath-taking ceremony went through the fixed procedures as per the procedure and was then announced to be over. It ended faster than anyone had imagined.

Perhaps, the Federation also wants to give the expeditionary warriors a little more time to say goodbye, to their families and friends, and to temporarily say goodbye to humanity.

In fact, if we say too many words before parting, it is easy to touch upon something unlucky, so today, everyone deliberately tries to avoid this point.

After all, the psychological obsession of people in the Asia-Pacific region with "Geely" has been deeply rooted in their hearts.

It was five minutes to four in the afternoon, and the clouds in the sky caused by the red thunder had begun to dissipate slowly.

The old soldier's posture relaxed.

The crowd around watching the farewell began to applaud, shout and chat casually.

In people's common subconscious, this seems to be the real sign of the end of the ceremony.

The situation after the oath-taking ceremony was almost completely disorderly.

All the veterans can go as they please, with plenty of time. They even have time to visit a hotel, a restaurant, or go shopping with their wives and children.

This was the first time in the history of the federal army that such an almost complete lack of restraint occurred.

because
"It doesn't matter. They all know where the assembly point is anyway. We have guide points set up on every street here. Also, don't forget that each of them is an experienced veteran in the military."

In the chaotic square after the ceremony, General Gerard stood at the edge of the stage and patiently explained to a familiar federal reporter.

In fact, during the internal discussion among the core senior officials before the ceremony, the old speaker of the parliament had another, more truthful statement about the "arrangements for the adjournment".

"If someone changes their mind at the last minute and decides not to go, or decides to leave, we should use this method to let them leave quietly."

"This is not their obligation. They have done enough for the world in their past lives."

For this purpose, the federation has prepared a waiting list to avoid insufficient number of people to go on the expedition.

At the scene, Jiang Ming and his group walked past General Gerard and prepared to leave.

Because of their appearance, the official reporter who was talking to General Gerard under the stage immediately turned around. All the reporters standing near the stage like him turned around and then swarmed over carrying equipment.

Whether they were federal reporters or reporters from private media, they all crowded together, competing with each other in speaking loudly and asking their questions.

You should know that Jiang Ming and others have never been interviewed by anyone in public.

This rare opportunity must be seized!

"Excuse me, Lord Jiang He, what happened to the last online rumor that you were dead?"

"Are you stronger than before?"

"Excuse me, Lord Fan Huai, how confident are you in this expedition?"

"Lord Jiang He, what do you think of this expedition? Why did the Federation suddenly organize manpower for the expedition in such a hurry?"

"."

There were so many questions that Jiang Ming and the others couldn’t hear them all.

But there was one person who kept asking and shouting.

"Master Jiang He, is there really still hope for the future of human civilization!!!"

The man was holding the microphone and almost stuffing it into Jiang Ming's mouth, with despair and some madness on his face.

Jiang Ming and his friends had no intention of answering any questions at the beginning, so they kept walking outside, but when they heard this man, they kept shouting loudly.

Jiang Ming raised his hand.

"Wait."

"You tell me."

The direction the finger was pointing was actually the reporter who kept asking questions.

The people nearby were reluctant to give way at first, but the federal staff nearby immediately stepped forward to separate the reporters.

This allowed the man to successfully break away from the crowd and come in front of Jiang Ming and others.

He first took a few breaths and straightened his clothes.

Then he solemnly put the microphone in front of Jiang Ming and asked the question again.

"Master Jiang He, is there really still hope for the future of human civilization!!!"

His eyes were filled with anticipation, and he continued after asking.

"You know, in the copy."

Jiang Ming raised his hand to interrupt it.

Sure enough, this person also knew about the World Boss in the dungeon.

And like those who knew about this expedition, they held a pessimistic and skeptical attitude.

He also understood what Jiang Ming meant.

This news has not been exposed yet, so I will stop here.

"The hope of the Federation has never been in you, nor in me."

Jiang Ming shook his head slightly, turned around and looked at the countless cameras that were broadcasting live. Jiang Ming didn't say anything else and walked away with Fan Huai and the others.

but
Everyone understood what he meant.

The hope of the Federation lies in every person, not just one individual.

The reporter who kept asking Jiang Ming questions did not continue asking.

The waiting list of candidates prepared by the federal government was ultimately not used.

It's just that when the veterans came back, they brought back so much wine and so many cigarettes that they couldn't even fit under their armpits, which was a bit speechless and helpless.

night.

Longyuan Square.

The huge venue specially cleared for this expedition, the moonless night, the endless sky was pitch black, covering and oppressing everything.

Hundreds of searchlights were set up on all sides of the site, shining over, forming a network in the air near the ground. The light dispersed like fog, and the red lights on the ground used to mark the location of the source energy warships were set off, making them look weird and full of murderous atmosphere.

Sixty-six aircraft with different shapes and cold appearances are quietly lying on this land where light and darkness are intertwined.

Four of the aircraft were as huge as four black mountains, and the others were like lakes, buildings, reefs, houses, and prehistoric beasts...

But they all have one characteristic, that is, they are big!

The photographer shot this from a high altitude, presenting all of this to the world. However, it was only a distant view. And this time, there was no introduction or explanation from beginning to end.

Just like this, they simply, quietly and plainly present this Arctic expedition team and the last hour before they set off.

In front of the TV, people all over the world watched all this quietly and attentively, this fixed, almost motionless picture.

In the high-altitude long-range lens, the huge expedition site looks like a prehistoric wasteland in a foreign land, and the tiny figures of 100,000 expedition soldiers silently shuttle between light and darkness, and their shadows are vague...

The largest aircraft.

Jiang Ming and others were sitting in a conference room.

There are many familiar faces here.

Zhang Daoling, Zhang Shouyi, Mo Guan. Even Lucifer.
Many revived characters, many high-end combat forces that I had seen before at the Federal University.
None of them showed up at the departure ceremony.

But stay here quietly.

When he saw Jiang Ming and others coming in, he greeted them warmly.

"Haha, Lord Jiang He is so handsome!!!"

This is what Lucifer, the street urchin, said.

"Lord Jiang He, you said you would stand in front of us!" Zhang Shouyi said this with a teasing look.

They all watched the entire process of the oath-taking ceremony.

Jiang Ming's mouth twitched slightly as he took Fan Huai and the other three to sit on the chairs.

Experiencing this long-lost feeling of social death.

Blame it on the old man
Not making things clear in advance caused him to get carried away in front of the veteran and say something so immature.

"So what's going on?"

Jiang Ming looked at Lucifer standing aside.

It seemed as if everyone knew the whole story, except for them who were kept in the dark.

You have to know that they are the first ones to discover the world boss.

And it only took one night to discover the BOSS.

The old man's speed was a little scary.

Da Da Da~
Footsteps were heard outside, and the discussion in the conference room gradually quieted down.

The old man and Gerald Xu Chongshan and others walked in.

Several of them had smiles on their faces, and seemed to be full of confidence in the upcoming expedition.

"hehe."

As soon as the old man came in, he saw Jiang Ming and the others looking a little confused, and he couldn't help but laughed out loud.

But before he could say anything, a few more people walked in from the door behind.

The Light Tribe
This was the first time Jiang Ming saw them in real life.

And it feels kind of weird.

The two parties who had been fighting to the death suddenly reconciled, and in response to Jiang Ming's gaze, they nodded kindly.

The person taking the lead even has information on top of his head.

【Light Lord】

[Level: Gold Lv.5]

Including the other members of the Youguang tribe behind them, they were all dressed in gold.

Just relying on these seven or eight people, they form a very powerful fighting force.

"Cough cough."

After everyone was seated, the old man coughed twice, drawing everyone's attention to him.

"This time, our allies from the Phantom Tribe will also join us on the expedition. They have contributed a lot in terms of both manpower and material resources. Let us applaud and welcome them."

There were still only a few people entering the dungeon, and they treated the Youguang people with a relatively kind look.

Although there is a saying that those who are not of my race must have different hearts.

But in troubled times.
The saying that the enemy of my enemy is my friend is even more applicable.

The leader, Lord Phantom Light, also stood up and signaled to everyone.

"Thank you, everyone. I'm glad to have the opportunity to work with you from the Federation this time. We may have had some misunderstandings in the secret realm before, but we actually have a common goal with you all."

"That is to survive!"

“I hope we can work together!”

I don't know when this Lord of Phantom Light learned the federal language. Although he has a slight accent, his words are still very clear.

Applause suddenly broke out in the conference room.

"Um"

"I believe everyone should know about the appearance of the World Boss in the dungeon."

"This was something we didn't expect, but the expedition was prepared in advance and will not be interrupted by any unexpected events."

After the welcome, the old man continued speaking above.

really
Jiang Ming felt at ease immediately.

This was not a spur-of-the-moment expedition, but one that had been planned in advance.

"The number of gold-level combat forces in the Arctic will be distributed to everyone present later. Everyone must remember to watch it so that they can understand their own tasks based on the information."

“Everyone can rest assured.”

“This time, we have enough people.”

"I won't let you risk your life."

At the end of the story, the old man even made a joke.

Jiang Ming was a little confused when he heard this.
If there are enough people, why do we need those old soldiers?

However, the old man continued to explain: "This time the battlefield is divided into internal and external forces."

A physical projection began to appear on the table.

The nest that Jiang Ming saw last time appeared in front of everyone completely realistically.

"You have only one battlefield. That is to prohibit any alien beasts from escaping outside the North Pole!"

"As for the strange beasts trapped in the Arctic, they will be taken care of by the allies of the Phantom Tribe."

"Where is the battlefield?"

Jiang Ming pointed to the continent with countless exotic beasts.
