386: Rescue? The belated arrival of the Martial Gods

Inside the virtual space.

Yan Qiushui, Dragonwill War God, and Ocean War God were holding a round table meeting.

The three of them looked at the empty seat, their expressions solemn.

"Jiang Fan hasn't appeared. Could something really have happened in the Northern Border?"

Dragonwill War God said with a worried expression.

"What do you mean? Six ultra-high-risk Secret Realms having problems simultaneously is indeed unusual. I also had a hard time suppressing the Secret Realm's riot here."

Yan Qiushui looked at Dragonwill War God across from her with a slight hint of confusion.

"I had a friendly conversation with the Beast God in the Secret Realm. It deeply realized its mistake and stated that it was instigated by the aliens to cooperate in causing trouble."

Dragonwill War God shared all the information he had obtained with the two of them.

The reason for this impromptu meeting was that he realized they might have fallen for a diversion tactic.

With three War Gods simultaneously called away from the Northern Border, it was highly probable that something had gone wrong there.

Jiang Fan's continued absence confirmed his suspicion.

"It seems we've fallen for it. Have the Secret Realms where your two main bodies are located already calmed down?"

Ocean War God spoke.

Yan Qiushui: "It has temporarily calmed down."

Dragonwill War God: "It's handled."

"How about we trouble Sister Qiushui to work a bit harder and teleport our main bodies to the Northern Border? We can go check the situation together."

Ocean War God said truthfully.

...

Northern Border Great Wall.

The setting sun cast its orange glow upon the vast white snow, a beautiful sight.

Uncle Huang Zheng and his nephew did not participate in this operation. As the remaining personnel, they were glumly gazing towards the Exploration Base from the Great Wall.

Earlier, the sky over there had suddenly turned black, and the battle light streams in the air had gradually ceased.

They wondered about the outcome of the battle.

"Uncle, do you think Jiang Fan and the others can take down the aliens this time?"

Huang Huairen turned and asked.

"Who knows? If they take them down, then this battle has nothing to do with us.

If they don't, the aliens will definitely attack our Dragon Country, and the Northern Border will bear the brunt. Our Huang family's base will likely be in peril..."

Huang Zheng looked worried.

Suddenly, Huang Zheng turned his head to look at a certain spot in the sky.

A spatial fluctuation occurred there.

The next moment,

The three War Gods of Dragon Country appeared in Huang Zheng's vision.

Huang Zheng was startled and quickly stepped forward to salute:

"Greetings, three War God s."

Dragonwill War God scanned the sparse defensive personnel on the Great Wall, feeling a sense of unease. He couldn't help but frown:

"Titan Huang, why are there so few defensive personnel today?"

"Reporting, War God Xiao, the Supreme Commander led the main force to attack the alien's base..."

Huang Zheng replied respectfully.

"What?! Actively attacking the aliens?!"

Dragonwill War God was greatly alarmed.

He had been in charge of the Northern Border's defense before, and he knew the alien's combat strength in the Northern Border best.

The presence of one War God and over twenty Titans could basically rival the combat strength of a strong nation on Blue Star.

What made him most apprehensive was the alien's starship. Once a conflict broke out with the aliens, the firepower from the starship would surely be despair-inducing.

Against such an opponent, Dragonwill War God had always defended cautiously.

Why would Jiang Fan choose to attack proactively?

"What exactly happened?"

Dragonwill War God asked impatiently.

"It is said that the Supreme Commander's sister was captured by the aliens..."

Huang Zheng said honestly.

"The aliens are indeed cunning. First, they instigated the Beast Gods in the ultra-high-risk Secret Realms to riot, drawing all of us away.

Then, they captured Jiang Fan's sister to threaten him.

Jiang Fan is probably in danger now..."

Dragonwill War God's face was ashen.

"Let's go, we must hurry over. Maybe we can still make it in time to rescue them."

Just then,

Huang Huairen, who had been standing with his hands at his sides, pointed north and shouted:

"Three sirs, someone is returning."

Yan Qiushui and the others looked in the direction Huang Huairen was pointing.

They saw scattered Dragon Country personnel trudging with difficulty towards the Great Wall amidst the vast white snow.

Seeing them supporting each other in twos and threes, it was clear that many were injured.

The three War Gods exchanged glances, and worry was visible in each other's eyes.

A bad thought surfaced in everyone's minds:

"Is this a return in defeat?"

Yan Qiushui strained her eyes and saw Yuan Nanwei and Qiu Nanfeng at the back of the team.

"Good, Titan Yuan and Old Qiu are back."

Yan Qiushui's heart settled slightly.

However, Ocean War God's words instantly plunged her mood:

"There's still no sign of Jiang Fan or Huang Qianyu."

Yes, Jiang Fan hadn't appeared. Could something unexpected have happened?

Just as she was feeling anxious, a group of Snow Country powerhouses appeared in Yan Qiushui's vision.

Instantly, Yan Qiushui's pupils constricted:

"That's Hilkin from the Snow Country. Could it be that they're in cahoots with the aliens, planning to take advantage of the situation to attack our Dragon Country?"

"Go! Let's go check it out!"

As soon as Dragonwill War God's voice fell, his figure shot up, rushing over like a meteor.

Seeing this, Yan Qiushui and Ocean War God quickly followed.

In the blink of an eye, the three had arrived in front of Yuan Nanwei.

"Why are you here?"

The sudden arrival of the three War Gods startled Yuan Nanwei.

When she saw them staring at the Snow Country people as if facing a formidable enemy, she was even more stunned.

"Alas, Titan Yuan, we still arrived a step too late... Where's Jiang Fan?"

Dragonwill War God scanned the wounds on Yuan Nanwei's body, his voice filled with deep apology.

If they had anticipated the alien's ambition earlier, so many people wouldn't have been injured.

"The Supreme Commander is still at the Exploration Base..."

Yuan Nanwei was about to explain when Dragonwill War God anxiously interrupted her:

"What?! How could you abandon Jiang Fan?!"

Seeing their anxious expressions, Yuan Nanwei quickly explained:

"Sirs, you might have misunderstood. We have already achieved a great victory. Jiang Fan is currently handling the mop-up work."

Great victory?

Mop-up work?

The three War Gods exchanged glances. Dragonwill War God pointed at the Snow Country people not far away and said:

"Then what about these Snow Country people?"

Yuan Nanwei smiled faintly:

"Those are... followers that War God Jiang recruited."

Since the Snow Country people were very close, Yuan Nanwei hesitated for a moment regarding their true identity, but still used 'followers' to refer to them.

This sounded a bit better.

War God?

Followers?

The three War Gods were even more confused.

Dragonwill War God was even more impatient:

"War God? Followers? What exactly is going on with all this? Explain it in detail!"

Only at this moment did the three War Gods' suspended hearts finally settle.

With their minds relaxed, Dragonwill War God also noticed the changes in the aura of the two.

So, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed in surprise:

"You've advanced to Great Master Peak?

Old Qiu..., how did you also Breakthrough to Titan!

Quickly tell us what happened!"

So much had happened in just a few days, making Dragonwill War God overly excited for a moment.

He rattled off questions like a machine gun, non-stop.

Yuan Nanwei smiled faintly and quickly explained the entire sequence of events, afraid that Dragonwill War God would urge her if she spoke too slowly.

A moment later.

"Jiang Fan, this kid is something! He actually Breakthrough to Origin realm War God.

Oh, what a pity, I wasn't there at the time and missed this grand Heavenly Dao baptism."

Dragonwill War God gesticulated wildly, his eyes brimming with laughter.

Yan Qiushui was even more stunned, her face full of disbelief.

Jiang Fan only went into seclusion for a few days, and after coming out, he Breakthrough to an Origin-level War God?

And he even gave everyone present a consolation prize.

Unbelievable, truly unbelievable!

Breaking through to War God was one thing.

He even charged into their base alone to rescue someone, and casually took a War God as a subordinate.

It sounded like something out of a fantasy, even novels wouldn't dare to write it like that!

Ocean War God let out a long sigh, his eyes filled with envy, jealousy, and even hatred.

Truly, comparing oneself to others can be infuriating!

Dragonwill War God, however, didn't have as many emotions as the other two.

With an old enemy present, how could he not seize the opportunity to suppress him?

He clasped his hands behind his back and paced in front of Hilkin.

"Old fellow, from now on, you'll have to call me Big Brother, understand?

Don't be unconvinced, even Jiang Fan has to address me that way.

Come on, say 'Big Brother' and let me hear it!"

Dragonwill War God had many conflicts with Hilkin in the Northern Border. Now that he finally had the chance, he naturally wanted to show off fiercely.

Hilkin's face was dark, and he said nothing. Being taken advantage of by his old rival like this, in the past, he would have at least fought back.

But now, he could only endure it.

Seeing Hilkin's deflated expression, Dragonwill War God immediately felt much more pleased.
