420: situation

The first engagement between Tianhe Pass and the Wild Bone Clan at the border concluded.

The outcome was a great victory for the Human Race.

This news quickly spread back within the Pass, and everyone came to know the super paratrooper, Yama.

He single-handedly slaughtered eight teams, then cooperated with Lei Jin, and even took down a King-level individual.

Where there are people, there is Jianghu.

Tonight, in the streets and alleys, many people were discussing Yama, with smiles on their faces, but also sighs.

The sighs were because the rules had been completely broken, and what awaited the Human Race next was an unorganized chaotic battle.

To survive, relying solely on one's own ability was no longer enough; more often, one could only rely on luck.

Most importantly, after this battle, everyone understood that the Wild Bone Clan was truly very strong now.

They were already a top-tier race, and recently they had grown three points stronger, with the average strength of their entire race rising another level.

Under the same configuration, the Human Race basically couldn't defeat the Wild Bone Clan.

Although they suffered heavy losses today, it was not enough to soothe the tense hearts of the soldiers in the rear.

It wasn't until the evening of the next day that Wang Dahe suddenly announced something.

"Tianhe Pass has reached a Realm agreement with the enemy; the Taiping Divine Sect will send people to construct a Realm blockade device, covering the entire Tianhe Forest, and the construction time will be about one month."

"Strong individuals at the Martial Saint Realm and above will not be able to enter and fight within it."

This news was like a bombshell dropped within the Pass, making all the soldiers inside incredibly surprised.

"What the hell?"

"This is worse than just fighting chaotically!"

"Originally, this... it's hard enough in the same Realm, and now they've signed a Realm agreement, my goodness, I really don't know what to say."

"Don't worry! Is General Wang stupid? There's still a month, they must have made preparations long ago."

"Sigh... I'm panicking, I feel like a month from now will be my death date."

People were talking animatedly, and those sighing far outnumbered those rejoicing.

Everyone did not think this was a wise choice.

But everyone still trusted General Wang, that he wouldn't send them to their deaths for no reason.

So, despite their words, they remained calm for now, awaiting further news.

Indeed.

After a little more time.

The twenty most elite Venerable-level unit captains of Tianhe Pass, as well as Song Mingguang, were all called to a meeting!

And it was a secret meeting, absolutely no unrelated personnel were allowed to know, or they would face military discipline!

These twenty-one Venerable-level mainstays were all nervous and expectant on their way to the conference room.

They confirmed that this meeting must be related to the Realm agreement.

And it was a secret meeting, indicating that General Wang might want to give them a heads-up beforehand, to stabilize the morale of their subordinates.

In the entire meeting room, there were only twenty-two people in total.

Wang Dahe and the twenty-one captains.

Everyone, let alone being late, arrived at least ten minutes early.

After taking their seats, they all took off their military caps; although everyone's face was different, their temperaments were very similar, all being battle-hardened warriors forged in bloodshed.

At this moment, these battle-hardened warriors, though serious and stern-faced, still inevitably showed some nervousness in their eyes.

They quietly waited for the General, who was seated at the head of the table and looked calm, to speak.

Until everyone had arrived and taken their seats.

Wang Dahe looked up at the old clock on the wall and cleared his throat.

"Ahem."

The moment this sudden cough sounded.

Everyone immediately straightened their posture, sat up straight, and focused their attention on General Wang.

"Since everyone is here, the meeting will start early."

The way military personnel conduct themselves is different from the strange school leaders in various schools.

Those school leaders are like temporary workers paid by the hour; no matter how simple a matter is, they must talk for at least two hours.

Military personnel's speaking style is relatively concise and emphasizes efficiency.

Just like now.

General Wang's gaze swept over everyone, and he asked in a deep voice, "What do you all think of the strength of the paratrooper that day?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone frowned, not quite understanding what General Wang meant, or rather, they had an idea but didn't quite dare to believe it.

But they all still nodded, indicating that Yama's strength was very formidable.

At this, General Wang said indifferently, "That person's Realm is merely Martial Venerable."

As soon as these words came out, the entire room was shocked.

Even Song Mingguang's expression was a bit unnatural, and he said, "This... Sir, I admit that even if I fought with all my might, I couldn't kill as quickly as that Yama."

"He... this is a bit outrageous, isn't it?"

Song Mingguang's confusion was the confusion of everyone around him.

One must know that Song Mingguang had already stepped into the Martial Venerable Realm.

A Myth-Grade person, with such intense talent, couldn't do what that Yama did.

Then how could that Yama only be a Martial Venerable?

In the entire Federation, people of the Martial Venerable Realm with this level of strength were only those in the Super God Class.

Although some older Martial Venerables with deep foundations also had strong combat abilities, the reason they were still Martial Venerables was precisely because their talent wasn't enough, wasn't it?

So, in terms of combat power, although the Super God Class was young, they were the benchmark; their talent was there, and others couldn't compare.

Yama clearly couldn't have come from the Super God Class.

At this moment, General Wang's calm sentence completely made the atmosphere eerie.

"Who said he was Human?"

What did that mean?

Everyone looked at each other, all utterly bewildered.

Good heavens, that thing wasn't Human at all?

What was it then?

An alien race?

At this, Wang Dahe said again, "Do you remember the woman who forcefully killed Aran Hong?"

One person immediately said with a hint of surprise, "That woman's profile looked very much like Zhou Mi."

Actually, he thought she looked exactly like Zhou Mi; the reason he said it this way was because this matter was unbelievable, could it really be Zhou Mi?

"This is not important." Wang Dahe shook his head.

"You only need to know."

"Now, alien races can suddenly become powerful."

"What about the Human Race?"

"Can't we?"

"Since a strong individual who has never been seen before but can forcefully kill Aran Hong can appear."

"Then why can't a person who is only a Martial Venerable but can be so powerful appear?"

"Hmm?"

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone was speechless.

The logic behind Wang Dahe's words was absurd.

He was telling everyone that the situation was starting to become very complex, and they didn't need to try and figure out what was going on.

Because they wouldn't understand; there were many strange things happening now, and nothing was surprising.

They only needed to know that that person was a Martial Venerable, an assistant capable of helping them sweep through the Wild Bone Clan, and that was enough.

Finally, the meeting adjourned.

These twenty-one Martial Venerables were now confident about the battle a month later; they were no longer worried.

With Yama's help, killing alien races would be like slaughtering pigs and dogs.

However, none of them were complacent; being able to become the captain of the most elite Venerable-level squad might only be considered an upper-middle level figure in Tianhe Pass.

But if one looked at the entire Federation, they were the kind of Dragon and Phoenix among people, one in hundreds of thousands.

Such excellent people would naturally view things from more angles, for example, what was truly behind this era?

How did the Wild Bone Clan suddenly become so strong?

Why did the Ghost Clan in the Seventh War Zone also suddenly become stronger?

Where did that woman who looked exactly like Zhou Mi come from, and how did she also become so strong?

And what about Liu Yuan, who previously held a trident and rode a Frost Giant Dragon, like the King of Ten Thousand Waters?

At that time, Liu Yuan was too immodest.

Many people in Tianhe Pass knew his former self, and now that he had suddenly changed like this, everyone would wonder what was going on.

One thing, two things, three things, more and more strange occurrences piled up, and these border generals also vaguely smelled the coming storm.

This impending war might not be as simple as everyone thought.

The more complex it was, the less they could control, and it also meant... the smaller their chances of survival.

Therefore, while they were relieved about the battle a month later.

But what about a year later?

Would they live to see that time?

Everyone wasn't afraid of death; they just felt so powerless in this grand era.

When the storm swept in, what difference was there between the fate of small figures like them and the weeds growing in the cracks of a stone slab?
