Chapter 627: Chapter 613: Situation in the East Region and the Imperial Command from Ancestral Court!_1

"The fact that you all have come to the Ancestral Court, I presume, pertains to the matter of the foreign clan’s counterattack. Some days ago, I returned to the Eastern Human Ancestral Palace in the East Region, to request the Ancestral Court to dispatch the Strong Ones to assist our Border Wasteland Region against external enemies. For this reason, I’ve spent some days, and I’ve already understood much about the current situation of the Border Wasteland Region," said Elder Ming He.

At this point, Xiao Chen understood why so many tribal ancestors and tribal chiefs were present upon his arrival. These people had been here for more than a day, waiting for the arrival of the Grand Elder of the Ancestral Court.

Pausing for a moment, Elder Ming He continued, "However, what I did not expect was for the invasion of the foreign races to be so rampant with the arrival of the Heavens’ River."

"Reporting to the Grand Elder, the Ghost Tribe Void Path, which my Bai Ze Marquis Division has been suppressing, has been under incessant attack these past few days. It’s as if the Ghost Tribe has gone mad, attacking our human defense lines in shifts every day. They have amassed 400,000 Ghost War Masters, including up to 50 Ghost Marshals, who are on par with our ordinary Towering Realm Human Warriors. More than a few Ghost Tribe Venerables have even appeared. Within just a month, my Bai Ze Marquis Division has suffered heavy losses of up to 50,000 War Masters, with deep injuries totaling up to 100,000. Several Towering Realm leaders have fallen. If we continue this level of attrition, my Bai Ze Marquis Division won’t be able to hold on for long," the tribal chief of Bai Ze Marquis Division stood up and addressed Venerable Minghe, "I sincerely request the Human Ancestral Court to rally the Human Tribe in the Border Wasteland Region to jointly defend against external enemies and hold the defense line of the Ghost Tribe Void Path."

"My TianTai War Department has also undergone a large number of attacks from Wind Spirit Tribe War Masters this period. These foreign races simply do not know fatigue, and wage relentless warfare day and night. They utterly disregard their own casualties, much like they have gone mad."

"The Demon Tribe Black Rock one-horned bull foreign race, which my Crystal Stone Battle Division has been suppressing, is acting similarly so. Even the old Cow Demon, who has been silent and unseen for hundreds of years, has emerged in the Demon Tribe’s possession of void. Moreover, he has clashed with me several times. Both of us can be said to be mutually wounded." A middle-aged warrior of the Crystal Stone Battle Division also stood up to speak. Xiao Chen noticed that his aura seemed somewhat unstable and his face looked somewhat pale. Clearly, he had suffered considerable injuries.

The middle-aged man was Tuoxiong Yan, the strongest of the top-grade Crystal Stone Battle Division. He was also the father of Tuo Jing Tian, a young tribal chief of the Crystal Stone Tribe who once confronted Xiao Chen in the Ghost Market.

"The Blood Race Void Path that my Sky Lake War Tribe has been suppressing has also been jeopardized by the Blood Clan," subsequently the Heavenly Lake Ancestor also stood up to speak.

The group of people who stood up all belong to the tribes that has been suppressing the foreign void paths. But the news each of them brought on was increasingly sinking for those present. However, it seems that the bad news is not over yet. At this point in the Great Hall, there are still two Venerable Powers who remained silent. Among them, an elder dressed in a grey robe stood up.

The old man in the grey robe, whose eyebrows were as sharp as a sword and with a trace of stubbornness between his brows, bowed slightly to Venerable Minghe before speaking, "Grand Elder, I am a wanderer. Most of my days are spent on cultivation and in the dangerous and secret places deep within the Wilderness. During these past few days, the foreign races hidden in the depths of the Wilderness have come out like swarming bees, massively invading our human tribes. They’ve even amassed tens of thousands of foreign race War Masters to besiege some of the remote middle-grade Battle Divisions in our Border Wasteland Region. This is what I’ve witnessed personally."

"Indeed, these foreign races are excessively rampant. They fight without considering the cost, as if they wish to perish together with our human warriors. At present, the tribes in certain remote regions of our Border Wasteland Region have suffered enormous devastation!"

Finally, another Venerable Power of the Great Hall stood up, apparently agreeing with the previous grey robed elder. It is apparent that he, too, belongs to the ranks of the wanderers.

At this moment, Xiao Chen and Blood Wind sat together on the stone chairs in the Great Hall. It can be said that the summit of strength from the entire Border Wilderness Domain resides within this hall.

"This grey-robed elder, known as Jian Feng Venerable, is respected by the vast number of wandering warriors in the Border Wasteland Region as the top wanderer. He detests evil and is merciless towards the foreign races. His black iron sword in hand is divine. Countless foreign races have failed under his blade, and he has received the blessing of human luck. His iron sword has been transformed into a Divine Weapon of his inheritance, hence the name Sword Edge."

The Sword Edge, a black iron sword, traversed the Great Wasteland for a thousand years. Once drawn, it’s like the sharp edge crying in the sky.

Xiao Chen looked at the old man and could not help feeling a sense of respect. Jian Feng Venerable’s fame has spread throughout the Great Wasteland. His peak sword, a hundred years ago, was used in the Border Wasteland Void World, where a Bone Race Venerable, who had somehow ended up in the Border Wasteland, perpetrated a large-scale massacre of the Human War Tribe.

Jian Feng Venerable fought this Bone Race Venerable for a day and a night, finally slaying him. The Bone Race Venerable’s entire skeleton was reduced to powder by the sharpness of Jian Feng’s swordsmanship.

"The other person who is also a wanderer is named Feng Ying Venerable. He has comprehended the variant mysteries of the wind, making his speed unparalleled among all the Venerables."

The Great Hall was buzzing with discussions. The Venerable Powers spoke one after another. In summary, they were all asking the Human Ancestral Court for help.

"Silence! All of you are tribal ancestors, each a significant figure. Such clamor is unbefitting!"

Suddenly, a scolding echoed across the room. Elder Shi, who was sitting nearby, reprimanded everyone. The kindly old man this time appeared somewhat fierce, "Our Human Clan has been flourishing for countless generations, passing on from one generation to another. The Human Ancestral Court has suppressed the four corners of the world. The sky of the Human Clan in the Border Wasteland Region hasn’t fallen yet!"

"Upon the arrival of the Heavens’ River beyond the Void, foreign races are now invading our Human Clan in large numbers. It is not only the Border Wasteland Region but also the nearby Ten Thousand Mountains Domain, the Eastern Wasteland South Region, and even the entire Eastern Desolate Land that are all being plagued by countless foreign races. This time, I went to the East Emperor Palace in the East Region to seek an audience with the elder of the East Emperor Palace."

"I wonder if the Grand Elder has sought aid for our Border Wasteland Region?"

"At present, the Foreign Races are rampant in the Eastern Desolate Land, and it is difficult for our Human Clan Warriors to gather a large number of Warriors in a short time. Moreover, the Hundred Clans Battlefield in the East Region is even more intense than that in the Eastern Desolate Land. The Foreign Races have gathered millions of allied forces and have been openly clashing with our Human Clan in the Hundred Clans Battlefield in the East Region. This battle has been going on for three months, and it is not yet clear who will be the victor."

What?!

"In the Hundred Clans Battlefield, thousands of War Masters are battling!"

"The Foreign War Masters who wish to annihilate our Human Clan wouldn’t die!"

The Hundred Clans Battlefield was somewhat far off for those present, but now hearing the news from it made everyone’s hearts tremble.

"The news I received from the Eastern Wasteland Palace in the East Region states that tens of millions of our Human War Masters are fighting the allied forces of the foreign clans. In a span of three months, nearly five million War Masters shed their blood on the battlefield, yet the foreigners continue to gather more War Masters for the Hundred Clans Battlefield. We have no idea when this bloody battle will end!"

"Thus, the East Emperor Palace issued an order for each major region of the Human Realm to locally recruit warriors as War Masters to eliminate the rampaging foreigners. We absolutely can’t allow the foreigners to wreak such havoc on our Human Land!"

At this point, Venerable Minghe paused before continuing, "In other words, in a short amount of time, the Eastern Human Ancestral Palace has to handle the bloody battles of the Hundred Clans Battlefield and can’t fully ensure the safety of the Human Wilderness. As such, they specifically authorized the Human Ancestral Court to locally recruit warriors as War Masters to protect the Human Realm."

"So in the short term, the safety of the Border Wasteland Region depends on us. All of you present here are the important figures of the Border Wasteland. This is the moment we need to work together to protect our region."

As he said this, a glint of killing intent flashed across Venerable Minghe’s eyes. His gaze swept over the people in the Great Hall, sending a chill down everyone’s spine.

"Anyone who plots mischief or entertains malicious thoughts with a great enemy at hand will be executed immediately without pardon!"

"Yes!"

Everyone bowed in agreement.

"After tomorrow, the Ancestral Court will issue a draft order to the entire Border Wasteland, calling on all Human Warriors to protect our people and defend our borders."

"All of your Battle Divisions may summon warriors to enter the Void Path to slay the foreigners. The Ancestral Court will bear half the cost of the resources needed."

"Yes!"

Even though they did not receive help from the warriors of the Ancestral Court, they were allowed to recruit their own warriors to defend the Void Path. This eased some pressure off the elders. With the foreigners’ relentless offensive, many tribes are losing their people each day. If they didn’t hire external warriors to help defend the Foreign Void Road, they couldn’t afford such a huge loss with their own tribe’s strength.

"Everyone, before the arrival of the Heavens’ River, we must withstand the foreigners’ frenzied counterattacks. Otherwise, we’ll find ourselves under attack from both front and back!"

"We will live up to the trust placed in us and protect the Human Realm!"

"The Ancestral Court has decided to recruit great warriors from all over to increase the number of Celestial Soldiers. Feng Ying Venerable, Jian Feng Venerable, could you both perhaps deign to join the Celestial Soldiers of our Ancestral Court and take the position of commander?"

Elder Ming He nodded in satisfaction when he saw everyone’s shared resolve to defeat the enemy. As long as the spirit of the Human Clan did not falter, how much of a wave could the foreigners possibly stir up?

"May I ask how many Celestial Soldiers the Ancestral Court intends to recruit?"

"As per the rules, our Border Wasteland can have an organization of two thousand Celestial Soldiers, but our human clan’s strength in the Border Wasteland is currently weak, and we only have three hundred War Soldiers at the moment. I plan to increase the number of War Soldiers to eight hundred, clean up the remnants of the foreign clan hidden in the depths of the Border Wasteland, and put an end to them once and for all."

Venerable Minghe, apparently after deep consideration, explained details about the Celestial Soldiers’ strength, wages, and rewards to many warriors.

"Of course, to increase the number of Celestial Soldiers by five hundred in a short time, the presently available rangers of the Border Wasteland are not enough. We further need the strong support of the major tribes of the Border Wasteland and need to recruit some of their warriors to increase the number of Celestial Soldiers."

Indeed, if one wants to recruit five hundred Heavy Tower Realm Martial warriors as Celestial Soldiers in the Border Wasteland at present, it would be hard to achieve fully. However, recruiting some warriors from the battle tribes seems to be a shortcut, which can also quickly build up the Combat Power. This will, in turn, launch the fastest campaign into the Great Wasteland to encircle and annihilate the foreigners.
