Northern War

Northern Desert

Here, one can still vaguely see countless sands irrigated with fresh blood. These are all the blood shed by those who died on the battlefield during the Luck War.

As a seasoned veteran of the battlefield, Li Long constantly monitored the movements of the Alien Beast Alliance.

"I wonder how the battle is going over there."

He stood atop the border city, Lin Xiao's figure faintly appearing in his mind.

When he learned that Lin Xiao had been granted the title of Son of Heaven of the Dragon Country, his jaw dropped.

The Son of Heaven of the Dragon Country is a truly great figure, an existence on par with a Martial Saint.

The little guy he had once noticed and personally recruited to Military Martial University had now grown to this extent?

How long had it been?

A year?

"I can't believe that little guy Lin Xiao has grown to this extent!"

It must be said that wherever Li Long went now, he always had Lin Xiao on his lips.

He was afraid that others wouldn't know Lin Xiao was a Peerless Prodigy recruited by him.

"General Li, bad news! A small team in the south of the city just lost all signs of life!"

An old soldier rushed over to report the situation in a panic.

Li Long instantly snapped back to reality. His gaze swept towards the south of the city, his pupils seemingly piercing through the void.

"Are they preparing to make a move?"

"Notify everyone to prepare for battle!"

With that, Li Long flew to the highest command center. General Tuoba had already issued an order that any sudden situation must be reported immediately.

This battle was now inevitable!

Meanwhile, in the Dark Forest across the river!

This was the lair of the Alien Beast Alliance.

From the outside, it was a hazy expanse, nothing visible, as it was completely filled with endless Evil Qi.

"Immortal Maiden, when do you plan to make a move?"

A burly, muscular man let out an extremely rough voice. He was five meters tall, his physique incredibly robust!

He was the Alien Beast Alliance's second Martial Saint, Candle Dragon!

The Immortal Maiden he spoke of was also a Martial Saint, a Martial Saint from the Immortal Clan!

"Candle Dragon, are all your other preparations complete?"

The Immortal Maiden looked at the burly man in front of her with indifferent eyes, a hidden trace of disdain in their depths.

"My Alien Beast army has long been ravenous! Now is the perfect opportunity. All the top powerhouses of the Dragon Country are currently being closely watched by the Demon Race. As long as you and I work together to kill Tuoba Mu, our Alien Beast army will advance northward, all the way to the heartland of the Dragon Country!"

Candle Dragon grew a little excited. Destroying the Dragon Country had been the Alien Beast Alliance's long-cherished wish for countless years, and now a glimmer of hope had finally appeared!

With the Demon Race declaring war, most of the Dragon Country's combat power had been deployed to that battlefield.

The Dragon Country's interior was empty. Now, as long as they broke through this northern defense line, the collapse of the Dragon Country would be imminent!

Ordinarily, Candle Dragon would not dare to be so audacious.

Although Tuoba Mu was not a Martial Saint, his strength was exceptionally formidable. In a one-on-one fight, even a Martial Saint would be able to hold him off for a period.

And during that time, the Dragon Country's Martial Saints would surely come to support.

"No rush, there are still three days until the agreed time!"

The Immortal Maiden spoke calmly. She wasn't invited by the Alien Beast Alliance; rather, the Demon Race had paid a huge price to enlist her help.

Although she didn't know what tricks the Demon Race was playing, she didn't care.

"This... alright!"

Seeing this, Candle Dragon had no choice but to agree.

Although they were both Martial Saints, facing the Martial Saints of these Starry Sky Powerful Clan, he would still show a little restraint, as their help was needed at the moment.

Once the Dragon Country was truly destroyed, their Alien Beast Alliance would obtain what they desired.

At that moment, all the Ten Thousand Races of the Starry Sky would have to die!

Did they truly think they were just a bunch of brainless fellows?

Who was the hunter and who was the prey—no one would know until the very last moment!

Candle Dragon gradually departed, leaving the Immortal Maiden alone.

"Hmph, lowly creatures!"

Gazing at the disappearing back of Candle Dragon, the discrimination in the Immortal Maiden's eyes intensified.

She had always looked down on these native races; even a Martial Saint could not make her view them differently.

Simply because she was from the Immortal Clan!

In her bones flowed the most noble Bloodline in this starry sky.

Northern Highest Command Center

Tuoba Mu sat at the head of the table, quietly listening to Li Long's report.

"These damnable beasts, do they really think we're afraid of them?"

A Martial Venerable below cursed loudly. The Alien Beast Alliance had caused widespread panic these past few days.

To fight the Demon Race, a considerable portion of their defensive forces here had been withdrawn, leaving less than two-thirds of their defensive strength.

They had initially believed the Alien Beast Alliance wouldn't rashly attack, but they had overestimated the intelligence of these fellows!

"We don't have much time left. We must immediately prepare for a war that could break out at any moment!"

Martial Venerable Bing Li spoke coldly. She sensed the signs of an approaching storm.

After some thought, Tuoba Mu, seated at the head, looked at Li Long with incredibly sharp eyes.

"Transmit my order: enter Level One combat readiness!"

"Yes!"

Li Long immediately relayed this order to everyone.

Tuoba Mu's face was terrifyingly calm. He, too, felt a sense of unease in his heart.

As the strongest here, he could sense the terrifying fluctuations hidden deep across the river.

He had already sent his conjectures back to the country, but that battlefield was also very tight. He only hoped the situation wouldn't develop in the worst direction!

But often, events unfold exactly that way.

The more you worry about something, the more likely it is to happen!

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

The command center, which had already fully entered Level One combat readiness, instantly discovered countless Alien Beast figures appearing on the opposite bank of the river!

"Bad news! They... they're preparing to launch an attack!"

A scout immediately transmitted this message into the ears of countless people!

In his detection, countless Alien Beasts were frantically rushing towards them, a dense, dark mass stretching as far as the eye could see.

"Everyone, assemble immediately!"

Li Long stood on the city wall, his eyes incredibly solemn. He had already sensed the dense, bloodthirsty Qi.

At his command,

countless warrior teams gathered here. They had long made ample preparations.

Each person was equipped with armor, a specially made battle armor that could boost combat power by nearly twenty percent during battle, quite extraordinary.

"Rumble!!!"

At this moment, the ground vibrated with a deafening tremor. The earth itself was shaking.

"Roar, roar, roar!!!"

Countless roars came from afar. These sounds were filled with endless slaughter, as if they had been injected with adrenaline, completely frenzied.

"They're coming!"

The distant shadows grew larger and longer in their sight!

"This... this is too many!"

Some Awakened Ones were frightened by the scene before them. The sheer number was too vast; countless Alien Beasts were frantically charging towards them.
