Chapter 535
535 Too awesome! Northern Expedition! Destructive power!
“Hu ~~ Hu ~ Hu ~”
After the supersonic flying beast rushed out of the ground, it flapped its wings desperately and kept rising into the air. After a while, it was four or five thousand meters in the air. In fact, it could fly higher.
However, there was no need to fly so high. This was its combat habit. Once it took off, it must occupy a high vantage point so that it could overlook the entire sky and find any target. Fortunately, he had the ancient king’s ring. Otherwise, Shen lang would have frozen to death at this height.
After flying high up in the sky, the ultrasonic flying beast did not immediately move forward. Instead, it first circled in the sky to observe the enemy’s situation. At this time, its eyes were actually glowing with green light, shining even in the dark night. Not only that, but its eyeballs could also rotate in the full field of vision, and both eyeballs could achieve a 360-degree vision, and they could focus separately.
Shen lang should have understood why it was a hybrid of a lizard and a bat. The lizard’s body was streamlined, its flying speed was faster, its mobility was more agile, and most importantly, its vision.
There were countless animals on earth that had better vision than humans, and geckoes and chameleons were ranked at the top. These two were lizards, and the ultrasonic flying beast in front of him had the advantages of these animals.
It was night time, and this place was more than 200 miles away from the ancient ruins of the diamond Peak. Although the snow Eagle Army of stupa mountain had controlled the sky in this area, the sky was too big. It was almost impossible to find a flying object within a few hundred miles in a short time.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
After Shen lang and the flying beast left, the entrance to the abyss closed slowly, and the ground returned to normal. Even the rocks were the same as normal ground, and no one could find them.
After making sure that the surrounding airspace was safe, the flying beast descended and used its super vision to search the ground in search of food.
But it was a pity that the entire sand primitive tribe had just suffered a destructive ecological disaster a year or two ago. Thousands of miles of primitive forest had been burned to death, and all the animals had been burned to death.
Of course, this place was close to the sea, so the temperature and humidity were high, so the burned mountains and wilderness had been covered with a sparse and faint green. It was really hard to know where the seeds of these plants came from. Their vitality was so strong, but there were basically no wild animals.
Da Chao searched for a long time but found nothing, and his stomach growled even more.
Shen lang consoled him, ” just work a little harder. You will reach the Qiang plateau 6000 miles North. There are countless cows and sheep there. You can eat to your heart’s content.
The supersonic flying beast rose into the sky again. This time, it was even more exaggerated. It rose to an altitude of 7000 to 8000 meters and then flew toward the North. Its flying speed was shocking. Shen lang calculated and found that it was flying at a speed of 1000 miles per hour, which was equivalent to 500 kilometers.
This was its cruising speed, not a high-speed sprint. Moreover, it was in a state of extreme hunger.
Furthermore, at such a high altitude, they had completely exceeded the field of vision of the stupa mountain’s snow Eagle Army. Therefore, there were no enemies at all.
Its flying endurance was extremely high, and it flew for a full six hours without rest.
Just like that, a man and a flying beast kept going north at an altitude of several thousand meters.
Shen lang could see thousands of miles of land of the sand primitive tribe. After flying for more than 4000 miles, he finally saw the dense forest. This was the last forest of the sand primitive tribe.
After flying for six hours, they finally left the territory of the sand primitive tribe and arrived at the plateau of the Qiang Kingdom.
The population of the Qiang Kingdom was also very small, but the area was also very large. Other than the tribe’s hunting ground, there were also many bison and wild sheep.
Almost as soon as they entered the Qiang country’s plateau, the supersonic flying beast let out a carefree cry. It immediately locked onto a herd of cows.
Then, like the most exaggerated fighter jet, it swooped down almost vertically.
This, this is f * cking free-falling?
Fortunately, Shen lang had the ancient king’s ring. Otherwise, he would not have been able to withstand such a terrifying dive. It was many times more exciting than the most exciting roller coaster.
A dive at an altitude of eight thousand meters was completed in just twenty seconds.
The herd of buffalos was still leisurely eating grass when a great enemy suddenly appeared.
“Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh”
When da Chao was still a few dozen meters away from the ground, he changed his direction and flew over the ground.
Did it have to be so thrilling and exciting? Shen lang really thought that it would crash into the ground. In fact, it was only less than a meter away from the ground. Its mobility was much better than any fighter jet.
The bison was eating grass when its entire body suddenly flew into the sky. The supersonic flying beast grabbed it with its other claw and flew into the sky. It was really awesome. The wild bull weighed over a thousand pounds and was several meters long, but da Chao caught it with one claw. How powerful was that?
The wild bull was dumbfounded.
What the hell, what’s going on? I was still eating grass on the ground just a second ago, and now I’m flying?
Where was this place? Who am I? Where am I going?
After flying a few hundred meters high, da Chao loosened his claws and threw the wild bull down.
“Bang!” With a loud bang, the wild bull smashed into the ground and was smashed into pieces.
F * ck, that was too brutal.
Then, it rose into the air and dived down again. It grabbed another wild bull and threw it down.
The third, fourth, and fifth.
Shen lang was stunned. How many cows are you going to catch? Do you think this is a buffet? if you can’t finish it, you’ll have to take more.
Five cows were smashed to pieces, and they were all together.
The beast found a wild sheep in its field of vision and killed it with a single grab. In the end, it descended from the sky and returned to the ground. It started to eat and even placed the dead goat in front of Shen lang.
“Uh, thank you. You’re so loyal. But I’m not used to eating raw food, there’s no fire.” Shen lang said.
The beast swiped its claws and dug out a bunch of thorns. Then, it swiped its claws across the hard black Rock. Sparks flew and the thorns around it were set on fire.
I, I’m f * cked! Shen lang was stunned.’That’s too much. As a fighter jet, your IQ is too high.’
Next, the man and the Beast began to eat dinner.
Shen lang cut off the best part of the wild goat and roasted it over the fire. He took out the seasoning and sprinkled it on top of the meat.
He still had to thank the ancient king ring, which allowed him to survive the high-temperature environment that had destroyed the special passageway.
However, in the next second, Shen lang was shocked again. This was because the ultrasonic beast did not gobble up the bison. Instead, it used its wings to cut the bison open, peel their skin, and cut them into pieces of meat. Each piece weighed about 20 catties and was placed neatly on the ground. Instead of placing them directly on the ground, they were placed under the Bison’s skin. He didn’t want his internal organs and only ate a large piece of steak. Shen lang then realized that the bone spikes on the edges of its wings were so sharp that they could easily tear the bison apart.
Then, it elegantly used its claws to Pierce a large piece of beef and put it in its mouth, chewing slowly. One piece per bite, 20 catties per piece.
He did not have a tablecloth to wipe his mouth. Otherwise, Shen lang would have thought that he was a Super Beast eating Western food. He used the bone spikes on his wings as knives and his claws as forks. He ate very elegantly, like a gentleman.
Shen lang finally understood why he had to kill five wild cows at once. It was because they were too picky and only ate the best steak.
Shen lang finished roasting the Lamb chop and took out his fork and knife to enjoy the food.
This wild goat was only a few dozen pounds. Shen lang roasted a large piece and prepared the ingredients. Then, he placed it on the cowhide and pushed it in front of da Chao, ” “Why don’t you try it?”
The supersonic flying beast used its claws to Pierce the roasted lamb chop and put it into its mouth. Its eyes immediately blurred as it enjoyed the taste. It was simply too delicious.
Therefore, Shen lang wanted to cook a second piece for it. However, the beast stopped Shen lang and continued to eat its raw steak.
Shen lang was stunned. Why was he so particular about the quality? He only ate raw steak.
However, Shen lang soon found out that the ingredients in the Lamb chop were not good for the beast, especially since there was too much salt. It might affect the beast’s vision.
Once again, Shen lang was in awe. The ancient empire had really taught these supersonic flying beasts well. They were more obedient than children. Even though they liked to eat seasoned steak, they only had a superficial taste.
A man and a beast were elegantly having dinner. Shen lang ate a pound of lamb chop while the ultrasonic flying beast ate 2000 pounds of bi an.
This ... This was too much of an appetite. Its appetite was really amazing. No wonder it wanted to catch five buffalos at once. They didn’t waste any at all.
After eating all the beef, it began to eat the heart as an after-meal snack.
At that moment, a warrior of the Qiang Kingdom walked over and was completely stunned by the scene. It was as if he had been struck by lightning and could not move at all.
What’s going on? Are, are my eyes playing tricks on me?
A person and a giant beast that he had never seen before were sitting on the ground and eating their dinner elegantly?
Shen lang looked at the warrior from the Qiang Kingdom and lowered his head.
The supersonic flying beast also took a look, then used its claws to pick up a cow’s heart and stuffed it into its mouth.
ahoho! the warrior of Qiang Kingdom finally came back to his senses and ran away. There’s a monster! There’s a monster! Ahoho!
After a few seconds!
The supersonic flying beast suddenly shot out a blast of supersonic energy.
In an instant, the Qiang warrior, who was running wildly, was crushed into pieces and scattered all over the ground.
The ultrasonic flying beast calmly picked up the last piece of cow’s heart and ate it, then let out a satisfied sound.
Finally, he was finally full.
Then, it slowly walked to the side of a pond. He closed his mouth and began to breathe gently.
W-what was he doing?
Shen lang could not help but be confused. The ultrasonic flying beast closed its mouth and continuously blew out air.
Soon, Shen lang understood. It was washing its teeth with ultrasonic waves? Humans brush their teeth after eating, but you use your ultrasonic waves to wash your teeth? The flesh between his teeth was instantly crushed. Wasn’t this a little too advanced?
Then, it dipped its head into the pond and took a sip of water. It began to rinse its mouth and sprayed the water on the ground instead of back into the pond.
After it was done, it turned its head around and bared its teeth at Shen lang. It was showing off how white and clean its teeth were.
Shen lang gave him a thumbs up and said,”you’re amazing.”
He also took out his toothbrush and fine salt and began to brush his teeth and rinse his mouth.
“Alright, I’m full. Let’s go.” Shen lang said.
The supersonic flying beast picked Shen lang up gently and flew up to an altitude of 8000 meters. Then, it flew directly to rage tide city, which was 8000 miles away.
Shen lang realized that after eating, da Chao’s flying speed did not increase, but it was definitely steadier and more elegant.
........................
The southern seas!
The Alliance Army of stupa mountain and Ying Guang had already assembled. They had a total of 100000 troops and 500 warships of various types.
Eighty thousand?
It didn’t sound much bigger than the sky-Sea Pavilion’s destruction fleet. There were even fewer ships, but they were much stronger than the Ning Han fleet.
First of all, at that time, the Ninghan fleet only had one ancient warship. This time, stupa mountain and Ying Guang’s Alliance Army had sent dozens of ancient warships.
Secondly, the sky-Sea Pavilion had only sent 500 special Warriors back then. This time, stupa mountain and Ying Guang had sent 1300.
These 1,300 special Warriors had all undergone bloodline modification and were all equipped with ancient armor, crossbows, and ancient sabers. They could easily jump dozens of meters away and dozens of meters high in an instant. The ancient saber in the nightmare stone could release a high temperature of more than 10000 degrees Celsius, which could easily cut anything.
Three hundred of these one thousand three hundred Special Forces Warriors were air Knights. They rode snow Condors into battle. This was probably the first time the eastern world had mobilized a large Air Force. The 300 Warriors in the air could easily destroy any hot air balloon in raging tide city and easily gain air superiority.
At that time, the sky-Sea Pavilion had only dispatched 30000 blood soul Army soldiers. This time, stupa mountain and Ying Guang had jointly dispatched 50000 hell Legion soldiers. As for the other super ancient crossbows, there were countless of them that could shoot continuously.
What was even more terrifying was that stupa mountain had Gu worm weapons. Once these Gu worms were put into the ancient giant arrows and shot out, they would explode. It would be a massacre.
However, this was only a small part of stupa mountain and Ying Guang’s forces. After all, the two organizations had been working together for more than twenty-five years. They had nurtured the hell Legion and modified their bloodlines for more than a few decades.
Not only that, but the ancient ruins in the southern sea that had been developed in the past three years had given them an astronomical amount of ancient equipment. This was a super ruin that spanned thousands of miles.
Therefore, in the 100000 troops that were dispatched, the proportion of ancient equipment and ancient weapons had reached a very high level. According to normal combat power, this Army was enough to destroy raging tide city more than ten times.
This was a destructive force.
........................
Neither Ying Guang nor the Lord of stupa mountain would personally lead this Army, so Ying Wuming would still be in the Yan capital. Therefore, the commanders of this Army were Ying wuque and elder Wu, the head of stupa mountain’s temple.
It wasn’t that Ying Guang and the master of stupa mountain were so arrogant that they didn’t even personally participate in a battle like the destruction of raging tide city. It was because they had a more important mission. Sect master Ren of stupa mountain wanted to monitor the energy Whirlpool in the East to prevent Shen lang from bringing his men out. On the other hand, Ying Guang had to lead his Army and block the entrance of the ancient ruins at the Vajra peak to prevent Shen lang from escaping in this direction.
for us, there is no value in destroying raging tide city. Even if we destroy it ten times, it would be meaningless. Shen lang is the most important person, ” sect master Ren said. only by capturing him can we regain our strategic deterrence against the Empire of Great Yan.
Ying Guang said,”of course. The great Yan Empire doesn’t know that we have already lost Shen Lang’s Secret.” However, if they wanted to prove that Shen lang was not lost and was still in their hands, how could they prove it? That was to completely destroy raging tide city from this world. If Shen lang doesn’t show up even after the raging tide city is destroyed, it would be telling the Empire of Great Yan that Shen lang is still in our hands and that we still have the ability to launch the Dragon’s regret.”
“Your Majesties, how far will this battle go?” elder Wu asked.
raze raging tide city to the ground, ” sect master Ren said. kill everyone inside.
After hearing that, Ying wuque’s face trembled. He was filled with joy. The day had finally come. He could finally give Shen lang a tight slap and kill all of Shen Lang’s men without any hesitation.
Elder Wu said, ” Shen lang is a sentimental person. He will definitely pay attention to raging tide city. Once the war starts, he’ll definitely find a way to get out of the Vajra peak ancient ruins. Once we successfully force him out, will the raging tide city stop fighting? Or do you want to continue?”
continue the war, ” sect master Ren said. there is only one order for this war, and that is to completely destroy raging tide city and kill everyone inside.
Ying Guang said, ” raging tide city is Shen Lang’s Foundation. It’s his so-called temporary imperial capital of the great Qian Empire. However, all of Shen Lang’s family members are in heaven Manor. After we destroy raging tide city, go to heaven Manor and capture everyone. Bring them over and use them as hostages to force Shen lang to appear.”
“Yes, your Majesties,” Elder Wu said.
“Father, sect leader Ren, there’s one more thing that’s very important,” Ying wuque said.
“The great Yan Empire, right?” Ying Guang asked.
Ying wuque said, ” that’s right. Shen lang is still hiding in the ancient ruins on the Vajra peak. He can’t leave. However, the great Yan Empire has the ability to launch Dragon’s regret. What if he fires Dragon’s regret at our Army from the sea? The consequences would be unimaginable.”
just wait, ” Ying Guang said. they’ll be here soon.
In fact, the Allied forces of stupa mountain and Ying Guang had already gathered on the sea. They still hadn’t deployed their troops because they were waiting for the emissary from the Empire of Great Yan.
A few days ago, Crown Prince Ying Wuming had sent a Memorial to the Yan capital.
In the entire Eastern world, there was only one great Qian Empire, and that was the new empire under the wise rule of His Majesty. Any other so-called great Qian Empire was illegal and against the will of the great Yan Empire.
Shen lang had used Dragon’s regret to destroy Huan Lu city. It was inhumane. In order to give an explanation to the innocent victims and to the world, the new Qian Kingdom decided to send an Army to furious tide city and destroy this City of Sin.
In order to show their respect to the Empire of Great Yan, they requested the Yan capital to send an emissary to monitor the entire battlefield.
These words were truly righteous and extremely respectful.
Ying Guang and stupa mountain had already established their own empire and were planning to leave the great Yan Empire. Ying Wuming had already represented stupa mountain to attend the meeting of the Supreme powers. Both sides had even shot Dragon’s regret at each other. In the end, Ying Guang’s attitude was even more respectful than before. He kept saying that he would support the great Yan Empire. This kind of tactic of fighting without breaking was really brilliant.
Next, Ying Guang and stupa mountain would wait for the reaction of the Empire of Great Yan and see what kind of emissary the Yan capital would send.
The great Yan Empire’s Crown Prince immediately saw through Ying Guang’s trick. They were worried that after destroying raging tide city, the great Yan Empire would suddenly send a Dragon’s regret from the sea. If a true Oriole were to appear behind them, that would be disgusting.
Therefore, by sending two Imperial envoys to oversee the entire battlefield, the Yan capital wanted to use them as hostages. If the Empire of Great Yan really fired the Dragon’s regret, the two Imperial envoys would be killed.
Of course, this was also a strategic probe. The next step would depend on the level of emissaries the Yan capital would send.
If they had only sent two cats and dogs, it meant that the Empire of Great Yan might really launch the Dragon’s regret to destroy the stupa mountain fleet. However, if the two Imperial envoys were of very high ranks, it would mean that the Empire of Great Yan had no intention of using Dragon’s regret to destroy the stupa mountain fleet.
To see the attitude of the Empire from the Imperial envoy.
“Your Majesty, the Empire’s Messenger has arrived.” A voice came from outside.
“Prepare the air guards of honor to welcome the Imperial envoy of the great Yan Empire,” Ying Guang said.
..................
Then, a magnificent scene appeared in the sky.
The newly established Kingdom and stupa mountain had deployed three hundred air honor guards. They were all gorgeous special Warriors and were arranged in an orderly manner in the air to welcome the Imperial envoy of the great Yan Empire.
In the air, the king of the newly established Kingdom, Ying Guang, brought the second Prince, Ying wuque, and traveled a hundred miles North to welcome the two Imperial envoys of the great Yan Empire.
The Empire of Great Yan was really good at keeping secrets. They had never revealed the identities of the two Imperial envoys, nor did they reveal any information.
From several li away, Ying Guang could clearly see the faces of the two Imperial envoys and immediately let out a sigh of relief.
The Lian Prince of the Empire, min Junwang.
The great Yan Empire had actually dispatched two kings, which was already a very high rank. Ying Guang and stupa mountain could finally heave a sigh of relief.
In the air, Ying Guang bowed and said, ” I, Ying Guang, greet the Imperial envoy. Long live His Majesty the Emperor.
The ice sculptures of the Imperial envoy of the Empire of Great Yan had been modified to be extremely comfortable. The seats on them were stable, and even the ice sculptures were flying very steadily, most of them at a constant speed.
Prince Lian’s hearty laughter could be heard from afar.
“Brother Ying Guang, how have you been?”
Lian Prince Consort, you’re also very realistic. Before this, no matter if it was in front of the Prince of Yue, the Prince of Wu, or the Prince of Chu, he always had a high and mighty appearance. Even though they were all princes, he seemed to be half a rank higher. However, in front of Ying Guang, he seemed to have recovered his previous humility.
“We welcome the Imperial envoy.”
“We welcome the Imperial envoy.”
The hundreds of Warriors shouted in unison.
greetings, ” Ying Guang and Ying wuque stepped forward and said, ” Imperial envoys, please inspect our air honor guards.
“That’s really eye-opening,” Prince Lian laughed,”there’s even a guard of honor in the air now.”
Next, accompanied by Ying Guang and Ying wuque, the Imperial envoy of the great Yan Empire inspected the guards of honor in the air of the newly established Kingdom. After that, they landed on the large castle on Black Rock Island and held a meeting.
........................
“This time, the meeting of the Supreme forces was a success. Prince Ying Wuming’s performance was outstanding. Brother Ying Guang, brother Ren has a worthy successor.” Prince Lian laughed.
In fact, everything in front of him was very against the rules. What was this place? Stupa mountain was located in the Black Castle at the entrance of the ancient ruins in the southern sea region. Ying Guang was supposed to receive the Imperial envoy of the Empire in Qianjing city. What was going on in stupa mountain’s territory? Wouldn’t this be telling the world that the new Qian Kingdom and stupa mountain had already become one?
This completely went against the emperor’s idea that the transcendent forces had to be completely separated from the secular world, not invading each other and not colluding with each other.
However, the Lian Prince acted as if he did not know anything.
The two parties chatted happily, and the atmosphere was even better than before. It was as if the previous Rift had never happened. It was hard to believe that these two forces had shot at each other with Dragon’s regret and destroyed one of each other’s cities.
The Empire’s min Junwang suddenly said,”Prince Ying, I heard that Shen lang has fallen into your hands?” Is there such a thing?”
“No, I didn’t,” Ying Guang said.
The second Prince of Xin Qian Kingdom, Ying wuque, added, ” “These are all rumors. Shen lang is still in raging tide city. How did he end up in our hands? This time, our Army is going on a Northern Expedition to destroy the fake great Qian Empire, to eliminate the rebels, and to unite the Empire.”
“Good, good, good,” Prince Lian of the Empire of Great Yan said, ” Prince Ying’s loyalty is unquestionable. It’s a world-shaking move. This is a just war. Prince Ying is a good example for the world.
“There can only be one dynasty in the entire Eastern world, and that’s the Great Yan Dynasty.” There can only be one emperor in the entire Eastern world, and that is the Emperor of Great Yan. Anyone who wishes to rebel will have to step over the corpses of the newly established Kingdom.”
Ying wuque was basically the one who spoke during the entire meeting. Ying Guang and sect master Ren rarely spoke. Not only in front of the Lian Prince, but even in front of the Crown Prince of the Empire, Ying Guang always had this attitude, cold and reserved.
“Brother Ying Guang, are you going to personally lead the Army for this Northern Expedition to the Furious tide city?” Prince Lian asked.
“I’m not going. Ying wuque will go,” Ying Guang said.
“Oh.” “Min Junwang, then you will follow the Army and attack raging tide city in the North,” Prince Lian said.
“Yes.” The Empire’s min Junwang said.
This world paid particular attention to equal reception. If Ying Guang personally went to the raging tide city, then Prince Lian would naturally follow. However, if Ying Guang did not go, then his status as a Prince of the Empire would not allow him to go either. Letting min Junwang represent the great Yan Empire to supervise the battle was already a very high standard.
“Then I’ll welcome Your Highness to stay in Dark Castle for a few days,” Ying Guang said.
........................
The next day!
The Lord of stupa mountain, Prince Lian of the great Yan Empire, and Ying Guang, the Lord of the newly established Kingdom, had personally sent 100000 troops to the North.
The three Giants each gave a speech.
The master of stupa mountain spoke very briefly, and Ying Guang spoke even shorter.
“Raze raging tide city to the ground.”
“Completely destroy the fake da Qian Empire.”
On the other hand, Prince Lian talked a lot. He first talked about the close relationship between the newly established Kingdom and the great Yan Empire, then about Shen Lang’s evilness, and then about the justice of the great Yan Empire. Finally, he announced that this was a righteous war, a Great War. He believed that this war could completely destroy Shen Lang’s evil forces and change the world to a peaceful one.
I’m not going anywhere. I’ll stay in this Castle and wait for your triumphant return.
“I will wait for the good news of the destruction of the fake da Qian Empire!”
“Great army, set out for the Northern Expedition!”
With the orders of the three big shots, stupa mountain and Ying Guang’s Alliance Army marched North.
More than half of this powerful fleet was made up of ancient battleships. They had destructive power and were charging toward raging tide city at a speed of 37 kilometers per hour.
King Min of the Empire, the second Prince of the new Qian Kingdom, Ying wuque, and the head of stupa mountain’s Hall of peace became the joint commander of the 100000 troops.
The words of his father, Ying Guang, and sect head Ren echoed in Ying wuque’s mind.
The purpose of this battle was to show the Empire of Great Yan a strong deterrent to the Imperial envoy. He wanted to destroy raging tide city and the fake da Qian Empire in the shortest time possible.
Without Shen lang, the Furious tide city had no way of resisting. Apart from Dragon’s regret, there was no weapon in raging tide city that could cause any damage to the Army.
The 100,000 ancient equipment Army would be able to destroy rage tide city easily.
..................
This Hurricane flying beast’s speed was too fast. From Qiang Kingdom to raging tide city, it was a full 8000 miles, but it took less than nine hours to arrive, and it didn’t rest at all along the way.
Shen lang descended from the sky!
At this time, the 100000 strong Army of Ying Guang and stupa mountain was still more than 5000 miles away from raging tide city.
Shen lang opened his mouth in the air, and so did the supersonic flying beast.
Awoo!
Ying Guang and stupa mountain’s Allied army, hurry up and come!
My Dragon’s regret is starving, and so is our super Guild. We’re preparing for a massacre.

[ note: I’ll present the first chapter. Brothers, do you still have monthly votes? ] It’s really needed now, so I’m counting on everyone!
