331: The rear is like this
"Sky Thunder King, rest assured, we will handle it." Katusha replied respectfully.
As the Universe Alliance's Supreme Secretary-General, he appeared to hold a top position and possess an incredible status, but in reality, he had no real standing. Furthermore, he was merely a Seven-star Master, similar in strength to a frontline general.
After disconnecting, Katusha sighed.
"Secretary-General, this is too difficult," said Katusha's assistant.
"It's like this in the rear. Frontline soldiers only need to fully commit to the battlefield, follow orders, and fight bravely. But those in the rear have many things to consider," Katusha sighed.
The assistant agreed wholeheartedly.
But they still had to make contact. If they didn't, what good would the Universe Alliance be?
Katusha immediately contacted Ms. Bliss, the current clan leader of the War God Clan.
"Ms. Ms. Bliss, long time no see." Katusha did not get straight to the point but greeted her first.
"Katusha, what do you want?" Ms. Bliss, as the current leader of the War God Clan, had a decisive and straightforward personality and disliked beating around the bush.
Katusha explained his purpose.
Ms. Bliss frowned. She had some impression of this matter. As a leader and a top-tier powerhouse, her memory was exceptional, and she reviewed all matters, big and small, within the War God Clan.
"Hmph, are you joking? Did my War God Clan's sons die for nothing?" Ms. Bliss said coldly.
She didn't care much about these Stellar River Level clansmen. Although they were all Master seeds and many would later advance to Master, most were just ordinary Masters, with limited use.
Being beaten to death by others and dying in battle was a fitting end.
When a War God Clan member died in battle, other War God Clan members would naturally avenge them. This was their clan's belief.
"But Ms. Ms. Bliss, that was a pre-arranged competition, and your assassination does not comply with the rules," Katusha secretly fumed.
He knew this trip would not be smooth. He had mediated too many similar situations, and each time it was full of twists and turns.
This time was especially serious.
After all, Lin Ye had killed too many War God Clan members and ruined their plans.
"Killing so many of my War God Clan's sons and still wanting to live? Dream on." Ms. Bliss cut off the connection.
Katusha had a massive headache.
He relayed the result to the Sky Thunder King.
"Good, good War God Clan, do they really think they are invincible?" The Sky Thunder King's eyes were filled with rage, and lightning gathered within them.
"Contact the God Race, the Sea God Clan, the Void God Clan, and the Nine Kings Federation. I refuse to believe that with pressure from multiple sides, they can still defy us. If mediation fails, then from now on, let the War God Clan guard this Reception Land."
The Sky Thunder King hung up the connection.
Katusha understood the seriousness of the situation. The Sky Thunder King was thoroughly enraged, and how could someone who wielded lightning be a mild-mannered person?
So, he immediately contacted all parties.
He understood that if he wasn't careful, this matter could become the fuse for the collapse of the Universe Alliance.
The universe had been peaceful for a long time. Aside from minor skirmishes, the Faith Divine System had been stable for too long.
But their wolfish ambitions had never been abandoned. Once the universe fell into civil war and its strength was damaged, the Faith Divine System would surely make a comeback.
In fact, the Sky Thunder King was not just talking; he had already taken action. One by one, the guardians left the front lines and gathered in the main city.
If mediation failed, they would abandon the main city, and the front lines would be completely unguarded.
The guardians on the front lines were initially bewildered. After learning the cause of the matter, there was an uproar.
"The Sky Thunder King is too impulsive. If the Faith Divine System attacks, then we will be the criminals of the universe."
"What the hell are you talking about, criminals? The criminals are those people in the back, the War God Clan."
"We endure hardship and loneliness to protect the universe, while they lord over us in the rear, bullying our relatives, friends, disciples, and grand-disciples. It's better not to guard it. The country comes before the family."
"Kill, kill, kill! Kill all these scoundrels and infighting dogs clean!"
Across the Reception Land, the Faith Divine System was filled with surprise and uncertainty.
"What's going on? An empty city trick?"
"How strange, how strange."
"This matter is too bizarre; we must not act rashly."
"What a great opportunity, are we just going to give up?"
"Charge, charge, charge! Occupy it!"
All sides argued endlessly, but the Faith Divine System's overall commander still decided to wait for intelligence from their spies.
This was not wartime, and the overall commander dispatched was of the defensive type. If it were an aggressive type, they would likely have already led troops to occupy it.
It was not easy for spies to transmit intelligence; it required time.
So they waited patiently.
All parties in the universe became alarmed upon learning about the situation at the Reception Land.
Especially those Masters who had experienced battles with the Faith God.
"What is the Sky Thunder King doing? A cosmic traitor!"
"The Sky Thunder King must have lost his mind. Damn it, if the Faith Divine System attacks, it's all over!"
"Who? Who angered the Sky Thunder King?"
Since the specific situation had not been widely disseminated, and only a few, mostly high-ranking officials, knew about the news from the Reception Land, the commotion caused was not widespread.
It was basically limited to the high-level officials.
The Four Great God Races and the Three Great Noble Clans' high-level officials all sent people to investigate the cause of the matter.
After understanding...
"Damn War God Clan, causing trouble again!"
"It's about time we dealt with them. Although their strength is comparable to 1.5 God Races, if we apply joint pressure, what are they? They're nothing!"
"We must appease the Sky Thunder King and the guardians of the Reception Land, otherwise, once the Faith Divine System reacts and the front line falls, it's all over!"
Someone contacted the Sky Thunder King, asking if he could first let everyone return to their guarding posts and then discuss it.
The Sky Thunder King replied domineeringly: "No one cares about our lives and deaths, so why should we care about yours? If it's not resolved, then let's all go down together."
When your doorstep is littered with trash by a neighbor, and your appeals left and right are fruitless, it's best to have trash dumped at everyone's doorstep, so they can empathize and naturally unite to help you solve the problem.
If it's not resolved? Then everyone can enjoy it together.
All parties are indeed enjoying it now.
In fact, the best way is to learn from the War God Clan: if you violate the rules, then we will too. Kill until order collapses, and then rebuild order, and the enforcement will be stricter.
But the Sky Thunder King was still too "kind-hearted" and did not adopt this method.
Leaving the main city also left some leeway, as although they had departed, the front line's formations were sufficient to hold for a period, and returning to defend would still be timely.
Those who abide by order always suffer losses from those who violate it. If the regulatory body is incompetent at this time, then order is a joke.
Therefore, the best way is to punish those who break the rules, thereby upholding the dignity of order. Even if there is occasional wishful thinking, they will be deterred by the severity of the punishment and dare not overstep.
So, to appease the front line and re-establish the authority of order, all parties exerted pressure.
"Ms. Bliss, punish them quickly!"
"If your War God Clan dares to defy today, tomorrow, the armies of the six parties will pay a good visit to your War God Clan."
"Damn it, infighting is one thing, but you're flexing your muscles on the guardians. You truly deserve to die!"
"Abi, surrender! The outside is full of fleets!"
