NOVEL NEXT Chapter 135: I Have Decided to Abandon the Northern Territory
At the same time.
Under Shen Ruoxue's talent function, the three appeared at the Void Gate behind the northern defense line of Longxia Country.
This Void Gate connects the native world of Blue Star with Alternate Space.
It's just that...
At this moment, leadership level powerhouses are continuously stepping from the native Blue Star into the Alternate Space.
Seeing Gu Xing and Ying Bing's puzzled expressions, Shen Ruoxue explained:
"For the past period, Longxia Country has entered a level one war readiness state. Except for leaving the most basic defenses in the native world, all leadership level and above beast masters must go to the frontline!"
Hearing this, Gu Xing frowned slightly.
The native Blue Star only leaves the most basic defenses, if the Demon Race takes the opportunity to attack...
Shen Ruoxue seemed to see his concern and spoke again:
"This Void Gate can only be passed through by the Human Race."
"Perhaps it is the reason this world favors the Human Race; even alien races must contract with the Human Race before they can enter the native Blue Star world."
"As for the Demon Race, it is even less likely to enter the native Blue Star world!"
Upon hearing Shen Ruoxue's explanation, Gu Xing nodded slightly.
The relationship between alien races and the Human Race now can be described as a rope scorched by fire, ready to break at any time!
As long as alien races leave the Northern Territory, then capable of resisting the Demon Race would be...
Only Longxia Country and the council's two forces!
As for the Blood-colored Church...
Gu Xing was unsure!
After all, that country is governed by the Blood Race, and this Blood Race as a species....
Seems to be a presence of both good and evil towards humans!
Though they feed on blood, they protect the safety of the entire church populace!
Therefore, Gu Xing is also uncertain whether this group of Blood Race would stand with the Human Race!
Thinking of this, Gu Xing now somewhat understands why Long Zhenguo made such a decision!
Now, the Human Race seems to have reached the edge of a cliff, a single mistake...
Could lead to utter disaster!
If they can't withstand the Demon Race's attack...
The Northern Territory will inevitably fall!
By then, not only the Star Stone mine in the Northern Territory, but also...
Those two unopened Divine Secret Realms will become possessions of the Demon Race.
Thinking of this, Gu Xing's heart tightened.
He must enhance his power quickly!
Currently, he is only at the peak of the Extraordinary level.
He must break through to leadership level——
Only by reaching leadership level can he have the qualification to stand on this battlefield!
So he hesitated no more, exchanged a glance with Ying Bing and Shen Ruoxue, then the three stepped into the Void Gate simultaneously.
He must return to the National Academy at the fastest speed!
According to Long Zhenguo's arrangement, he must leverage the power of the Holy Pool to complete his breakthrough.
A glimmer of expectation flashed in Gu Xing's eyes.
His all attributes had long surpassed human limits and he possessed dual talents...
This breakthrough, what sort of domain will awaken?
And his contracted four Myth level guardian beasts——
If they grow to leadership level, what heights will they reach?!
...
Edge battlefield of the Demon Realm.
Lei Zhan brought the group of demigod level alien race captives of Gu Xing to the battlefield, and reported all situations in the Divine Secret Realm to Long Zhenguo.
After Long Zhenguo learned everything, he decisively made a decision:
Direct retreat!
Hold the northern defense line of Longxia Country.
As for the Northern Territory, it can be reclaimed when there's an opportunity in the future.
The alien races that entered the Divine Secret Realm almost perished, surely they won't easily give up.
To prevent these alien races from backstabbing...
They must plan in advance!
Soon, a meticulous plan took shape in Long Zhenguo's mind.
He dared not delay, urgently contacted Verocan and the Church Court Empress...
Inside the temporary meeting room, the atmosphere was heavy.
The three sat across from each other, expressions solemn.
Long Zhenguo was the first to break the silence:
"Regarding the matter of the Divine Secret Realm, I deeply regret the Blood Race's ordeal."
He slightly bowed to the Blood-colored Church Empress to show his apology.
In the Blood-colored Church, though civilians are considered food sources by the Blood Race, more often they are raised, causing little harm.
Even so, these Blood Race indeed guard the entire church's safety.
Overall, this blood-feeding species is considered friendly towards humanity.
Because of this, Long Zhenguo gave the Empress plenty of face at this moment.
Upon hearing Long Zhenguo say only the Church Saintess survived out of the entire team that entered the Divine Secret Realm...
The Empress's pupils shrank, lips trembled, leaving her momentarily speechless.
She knew very well who from the Blood-colored Church went into the Divine Secret Realm this time!
This time almost all the young generation of demigod level Blood Race was mobilized.
Beyond that...
Blood Ancestor Lilith herself participated!
How could they fail?
How could Blood Ancestor's clone fall in mere Divine Secret Realm?
As a former Totem level powerhouse, Lilith's blood clone may only hold an Extraordinary Tier Ninth status, but her true combat power reaches at least commander middle tier, even high tier.
How could such an entity fall in a Divine Secret Realm, restricted to Extraordinary level at most?
Seeing the Empress's disbelief, Long Zhenguo signaled Lei Zhan to bring in the surviving Church Saintess.
When Cecilia walked in, she was still in a dazed state.
To this day, she couldn't accept the fact——
The invincible Blood Ancestor...
Actually lost!
The Empress gazed at Cecilia's soulless appearance, her last hope shattered.
Blood Ancestor really lost!
She suppressed her surge of emotions and tried to calm her own feelings.
The fallen Blood Race?
She did not care!
Blood Ancestor also did not care!
Blood Ancestor Lilith alone executed more of her kind than this number.
Most crucial now...
Blood Ancestor's clone fell, then the next instructions from the Church...
At this time, she also did not know how to proceed.
However, before Lilith entered the Divine Secret Realm, she was instructed to cooperate fully with Longxia Country and the council.
Therefore, she could only continue with this instruction now!
But before that, she must understand Long Zhenguo's intentions!
"Long Zhenguo, you summoned us, it's not just to inform us of the Blood Race's deaths, right?"
Facing the Empress's burning gaze, Long Zhenguo slowly nodded.
"This time I've called the two of you to discuss another important matter."
He took a deep breath, each word firm:
"I decided, to abandon the Northern Territory!"
"What?!"
Kaven slammed the table, making the solid wood meeting table buzz.
"Abandon the Northern Territory? Have you gone mad! What about the Star Stone Mines? What about those two Divine Secret Realms?!"
Losing Star Stones means extraordinary level beast masters will lose their foundation for advancement.
This is self-sabotage!
The Empress also cast a questioning look.
Long Zhenguo's expression unchanged, he asked sternly:
"Without alien race support, do you think... we can block the Demon Race?"
This sentence was like a bucket of cold water, instantly silencing the two.
The heavy reality lay before them...
This time the Demon Race was serious.
Even with alien race assistance, they barely resisted the Demon Race's offensive.
And this, under the premise of the Demon Race not giving their all.
If the alien races withdraw, for the Human Race to resist the Demon Race....
As impossible as reaching the heavens!
"Alien races leaving is a foregone conclusion."
"The Star Stone reserves we've accumulated over the years are enough to sustain for a while."
"As for the Divine Secret Realms..."
Long Zhenguo's voice is extremely serious:
"One day, we will reclaim them ourselves!"
Kaven and the Empress fell into a long silence.
Finally, the two exchanged a look and had to accept this bitter decision.
"Alright!"
At least leaving now...
Can prevent the alien races from putting a knife in their back!
