NOVEL NEXT Chapter 269: Steady Improvement.
```
In Great Russia, within the Supreme Council.
The top echelons of power were seated in turn around a circular conference table.
The seat of honor was occupied by none other than Emperor Pu, positioned at the pinnacle of power in Great Russia.
Emperor Pu's physique at the moment was only just over three meters, which didn't necessarily represent immense strength, but there was an incongruous pressure emanating from him.
This pressure made everyone present feel a slight heaviness in their chest.
Next, after Emperor Pu gestured with his hand, detailed analysis charts related to the three lists were displayed in front of everyone.
A white man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, clearly a profound scholar, pointed to the huge screen in the meeting hall and began to introduce the analysis charts to the assembly of top power brokers in a grave tone.
"These are the analysis charts of the three lists. After working overnight, we've organized and analyzed the Mutated Creatures Threat Index, identifying just over fifty that could threaten the interior of Great Russia,
among which the most formidable is the Apocalyptic Level Arctic Wolf King, who resides deep in the Arctic. We are currently unable to track him or contend with him. Therefore, if we wish to uphold Great Russia's prestige, we can start by dealing with several High King Level creatures in the inland. With our current strength, eight Perfect Level Mech Armored Warriors should suffice to restrain and slay High King Level creatures."
The gold-glasses wearing scholar, while presenting the analysis charts to the gathering of influential figures, also strategized.
After all, as the think tank, their role was to solve problems for the powerful individuals present.
Ordinary citizens, seeing so many King Level creatures on the Mutated Creatures List, would almost feel utterly hopeless, as if the world was on the brink of destruction.
But after their concise analysis, it was clear that only just over fifty posed a threat to Great Russia.
These King Level Mutant Creatures within the borders of Great Russia had always been under military surveillance and monitoring; with a significant sacrifice, most of them could be eradicated.
After all, in the years since the great changes, it wasn't only the mutated creatures that had made rapid advances.
Human technology, on this knife-edge of existential crisis, had also undergone several leaps in quality.
Seventh Generation Warplanes, Perfect Level Mecha, Super Ionic Annihilation Cannons, and more could all inflict effective damage on King Level Mutant Creatures.
The current greatest difficulty lay in the Arctic Wolf King and the two ghostly wildcats near the Capital City.
The Arctic Wolf King needs no further explanation, being the closest Apocalyptic Level Exotic Beast to Great Russia.
One howl of the Wolf Howl, with the boundless might of the Nine Cycles Silver Moon spread across the sky, left a vivid memory in the minds of the high ranks of Great Russia.
As for the two ghostly wildcats, they were lurking near the Capital City.
These two cats had troubled the Capital's security for a long time, never eradicated, posing a continuous major security threat.
On the newly released Mutant Creatures Threat Index, these two ghostly wildcats were also prominently listed.
Moreover, their strength reached Extreme King Level, not inferior to the Purple Lynx that once fought a bloody battle with the Arctic Wolf King.
Up next,
in an eloquent exposition, the scholar with the gold-rimmed glasses plotted a strategy for Emperor Pu and the assembly of powerful individuals: to engage distant threats and attack close ones!
It was decided to send Marshal Bolton to the Arctic to negotiate with the Arctic Wolf King.
Even ordinary Elite Level Mutated Creatures possess intelligence not inferior to humans, let alone the Apocalyptic Level Arctic Wolf King?
Intelligent species can be negotiated with. As long as a thorough negotiation with the Arctic Wolf King is achieved, then they would have eliminated the greatest threat looming over them.
At the same time, they could mobilize all their forces to confront and eradicate domestic Mutant Creatures.
However, as the learned scholar finished speaking, Marshal Bolton, known for his hardline stance, clearly displayed displeasure.
Anyone could see that this Marshal, renowned for his military exploits in Great Russia, was not inclined to negotiate with an alien race.
But with humanity's very foundation teetering, with the threat of faith from the Theological Alliance and Jerusalem ahead and countless Mutant Creatures looming behind,
it was urgent to eradicate a few heavyweights to stabilize public sentiment.
Otherwise, once public confidence truly collapsed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
At that point, it might truly be the moment when humanity would step down as the dominant species on Earth!
Under this unprecedented threat, despite Marshal Bolton's displeasure, Emperor Pu still finalized the strategic decision to engage distant threats and attack nearby ones!
However, the chosen emissary for negotiation was not Marshal Bolton, but another Marshal Donaldson, Commander of the Capital City Defense Army.
This Marshal Donaldson, who was over fifty years old with a benign smile on his face,
but the vacant flicker in his eyelashes and the fleeting spark in his eyes suggested he was no simple character.
Experience more tales on empire
Marshal Donaldson didn't know whether the negotiation with the Arctic Wolf King would go smoothly, nor did he even know if once he headed to the Arctic, he would have a chance to return alive,
but in the face of humanity's fight for survival, someone had to step forward!
At that moment, not only was the Capital City of Great Russia engaged in a top-level secret conference, but other major powers were as well undergoing secret deliberations.
....
Across the ocean!
In the White Palace, a congregation of New Humans' top warriors, a host of dignitaries, and leading figures of power had all gathered.
Now within the White Palace, a fierce debate was ongoing, with many participants arguing heatedly until their faces turned red!
"Those not of our kind must have a different heart! All Mutant Creatures must be eradicated! Not a single one should be left! All of you advocates for peace are cowards! Cowards!"
