Chapter 700: Iron Blood City
"You need to pay twenty spirit stones to enter Iron Blood City."
The guard on duty reminded Jiang Chen and let him pass.
Jiang Chen took out twenty spirit stones and handed them over, then entered the Iron Blood City.
The Iron Blood City is very vast, with wide streets and a constant stream of pedestrians. The streets are filled with stalls displaying a dazzling array of goods.
"This is Iron Blood City."
Walking on the street, Jiang Chen looked around and sighed.
Compared to the outside world, Iron Blood City is more like a small town.
In addition to the pedestrians on the streets, one can also hear the uniform sound of trumpets echoing throughout the Iron Blood City.
"Are you new here?"
Suddenly, two men in blue came over and looked at Jiang Chen curiously.
"Um."
Jiang Chen nodded slightly.
"You're too late." The man in green shook his head and sighed.
They thought they would run into someone they knew, but it turned out to be a stranger.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Chen asked puzzledly.
"The battle held every three years in Tiexue City is about to begin. We are all rushing to Black Wind Village, and you have to go too." The man in green explained.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen suddenly came to his senses.
No wonder these people are in such a hurry.
He couldn't help but feel curious and asked, "What is the scale of this battle?"
"Every five months, the Iron Cavalry and the Black Wind Village will each send out 100 people to engage in a melee."
"The winner will become a member of the Iron Blood Legion."
After the man in green finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Chen, as if to say, "Now you know, hurry to Black Wind Village and don't waste everyone's time."
Jiang Chen smiled brightly. This kind of competition was simple and crude.
All the people in Iron Blood City rushed to the battlefield, leaving only a small number of people to protect the villagers.
"Come on, I'll take you in."
As he spoke, the man in blue led Jiang Chen to the door of a building.
Pushing the door open, the room was empty. Apart from tables, chairs, benches and a few wooden tables, there was only an old man.
"The deputy commander of the Iron Cavalry Army, Xu Wenyuan." Shen Hao introduced.
"Commander Xu."
Jiang Chen clasped his fists and saluted.
Xu Wenyuan squinted his eyes and looked at Jiang Chen, but did not speak immediately.
After examining Jiang Chen's strength and seeing it clearly, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he was not that strong.
"Jiang Chen, Tiexue City is recruiting soldiers for the first time. Can you join us?" Xu Wenyuan went straight to the point.
Jiang Chen was shocked. This Xu Wenyuan was so smart.
Knowing that Jiang Chen was unwilling to join the Iron Blood Army, he deliberately used provocation to provoke him.
As expected, Jiang Chen was silent for a long time before slowly saying, "Commander Xu, I don't want to join the Iron Blood Army."
Xu Wenyuan was delighted. Jiang Chen's words confirmed that the latter was not a crazy cultivator.
"But..." Jiang Chen changed the subject, "I can help you defeat Black Wind Village. In exchange, I want to join the Iron Blood Army."
"Really?" Xu Wenyuan asked in surprise.
"Of course." Jiang Chen said, "But I have a condition. You must arrange for me to join the army before the war starts."
Xu Wenyuan thought about it for a moment, agreed, and invited Jiang Chen to join the Iron Blood Army.
The Iron Cavalry was founded by Shen Hao. Although they do not belong to any force, they are qualified to recruit Jiang Chen.
Moreover, there are various positions in the Iron Cavalry Army, and Jiang Chen can choose the position he wants to hold.
Of course, Jiang Chen didn’t just want to join the Iron Cavalry Army, he had deeper considerations.
By joining the Iron Cavalry, you can get one step closer to investigating the secrets of Black Wind Village.
"Okay, then when the battle starts, you follow me." Xu Wenyuan said.
Jiang Chen nodded in agreement.
Then, Jiang Chen stayed in Tieqi City for a while and visited other people.
In their impression, Jiang Chen was just an ordinary person and did not arouse suspicion.
"Are you Jiang Chen?"
At this moment, a cold voice was heard.
Jiang Chen looked up and saw a tall young man walking towards him. He had a thin face and sharp eyes, which gave people a sense of oppression.
"yes."
Jiang Chen nodded and guessed his identity.
"Come with me."
The young man glanced at Jiang Chen coldly and walked forward.
"Let's go."
Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment and followed the young man out.
Under the guidance of the young man, they came to the training ground of Tiexue City.
Looking around, quite a few people had gathered in the martial arts arena.
Jiang Chen looked around but didn't see Shen Hao.
He judged from the aura of these people that they were all practitioners.
As for how powerful he is, it depends on Jiang Chen himself to judge.
"Brother Jiang."
Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded.
Following the sound, a middle-aged man with an elegant appearance walked towards Jiang Chen.
"Who are you?"
Jiang Chen frowned.
"My name is Zhao Hailong. I am the deputy commander of the Iron Blood Army and I am responsible for managing Iron Blood City."
The middle-aged man smiled.
Jiang Chen suddenly realized that it was Shen Hao's father.
He should have expected that Shen Hao must have an unusual background.
"Shen Hao told me everything about your situation."
Zhao Hailong smiled and said, "This battle is very important to Iron Blood City. I hope you can help the Iron Cavalry win. I thank you on behalf of everyone in Iron Blood City."
"You're welcome." Jiang Chen waved his hand.
"Now that you are here, let's join the battle."
Zhao Hailong pointed at the arena and said, "Every member of the Iron Cavalry Army has fought on the battlefield and has extraordinary strength."
"Um."
Jiang Chen nodded and followed Zhao Hailong to the front of the ring. He looked at the people around him and did not rush to go on stage.
Because he discovered that there were two people on the stage, one was Shen Hao, and the other was Qin Lie, the leader of the Iron Cavalry.
"This Qin Lie is very powerful, he is in the late sixth stage. You are no match for him."
Shen Hao saw the solemnity in Jiang Chen's eyes and whispered, "The best way is to give up."
Jiang Chen ignored him and noticed that Shen Hao's expression darkened.
He understood that the leader of the Iron Blood Army had a great influence on the Iron Blood Army.
"If you feel embarrassed, you can quit."
Shen Hao continued: "I'm here, so I don't need you to be a hero."
"Don't worry, Commander Shen."
Jiang Chen patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "I'll go get ready first."
"Yeah." Shen Hao sighed lightly and didn't try to persuade her any further.
Afterwards, Jiang Chen walked towards the ring and saw a burly man, who was Qin Lie.
"Qin Lie, I don't want to fight with you. If you insist on fighting, then let's fight." Jiang Chen said calmly.
"Haha, who do you think you are? How dare you threaten me!"
Qin Lie laughed in anger, his eyes filled with hostility.
"Qin Lie."
At this moment, a strong man in armor flew to the ring and shouted, "Stop!"
"Commander Shen."
Qin Lie stopped attacking Jiang Chen, restrained his arrogance, and said respectfully.
"You go down and rest first." Commander Shen waved his hand.
Qin Lie nodded, leaped off the stage and sat in the audience seats.
"Commander Shen, I don't accept it. Why does he want to interfere in the war?" Qin Lie's cold eyes fell on Jiang Chen.
Commander Shen’s words just now made him angry, but he did not dare to disobey the order.
