“You really think we can break through the Wei Ye Guan Continent?” Ah Si Ming looked at Tie Ji.

Behind them, the large army stretched out to no end. This was the Savage Continent’s largest army in history, and was the recently formed Perseus King Court, in its largest mission. Ah Si Ming could not be blamed for being worried, he had never commanded in such a large scale war before.

Furthermore, it was facing against Mu Zhi Xia’s Wei Ye Guan Continent.

The Savage Continent had no lack of proud and arrogant people, but from the beginning, the Wei Ye Guan Continent had always stood tall and imposing, like scalding hot soup, firmly guarding the major road into the Honorable Martial Continent. Ever since Mu Zhi Xia garrisoned in the Wei Ye Guan Continent, no one had ever broken through before.

Mu Zhi Xia was able to hold the Wei Ye Guan Continent firmly and at the same time infiltrate the Savage Continent not because he was an amiable person, but because he was strong. The Savage Continent worshipped the strong, and believed that the bigger fist was the right one, otherwise, why would a small tribe be willing to take advice from him? Mu Zhi Xia became the strongest outsider to thw Savage Continent, although very few people knew of his military successes, but no one had ever heard of Mu Zhi Xia losing to someone else.

People like Ah Si Ming had more knowledge on such matters, and were more clear about how terrifying Mu Zhi Xia was.

Ah Si Ming did not understand why the Queen would have the intent of attacking the Wei Ye Guan Continent. If not for his utmost trust in the Queen, he would have thought that there was a hidden motive behind.

Tie Ji objected his views: “As long as we accomplish what the Queen wants. The Queen definitely has some plan, or do you think that we are even more powerful than her?”

Ah Si Ming thought for a moment, then shook his head: “How can you say that? The Queen is our Goddess of War, she is undefeatable. Mu Zhi Xia is truly unlucky this time.”

He was rejoicing in Mu Zhi Xia’s calamity, most of the powerhouses in the Savage Continent did not have good feelings towards Mu Zhi Xia. Mu Zhi Xia had intentions on the Savage Continent and might be able to cheat the smaller tribes, but the local powerhouses would not take him in at all.

Mu Zhi Xia had secretly tried to contact a few of the powerhouses, but despite his strength and caution, he had never succeeded.

To Tie Ji and Ah Si Ming, it was a pity for him to encounter the Queen.

To Ah Si Ming, the person who could definitely defeat Mu Zhi Xia in Savage Continent was the Queen. Although to him, the Queen had no need to be anxious about it as she still had plenty of time after unifying Savage Continent. But of course, since the Queen had already decided to do so, Ah Si Ming would not refuse.

“Whether Mu Zhi Xia is unlucky or not, I do not know.” Tie Ji shook his head, but in the blink of the eye, his smile became even wider: “But I know for sure that the Honorable Martial Continent is out of luck this time, furthermore, they will have to bleed for it!”

~Tie Ji definitely knows something~, but Ah Si Ming did not ask further.

The Queen disregarded her personal safety and ran to the Honorable Martial Continent, obviously having intentions to do something there.

This hatred towards the Honorable Martial Continent made Ah Si Ming extremely happy, he felt that the Queen was displaying heroism and strength. ~The Queen is definitely not just satisfied with unifying the Savage Continent, now that she has set her eyes on the Honorable Martial Continent, she truly has the heart of an overlord.~

When the vast army appeared in the region near the Wei Ye Guan Continent, the soldiers garrisoned there were completely stupefied.

The Honorable Martial Continent was shocked, Temple was shocked.

Countless of emergency pleas for help caused Temple to fall into panic. The Clan Elders did their most to suppress the anxiousness and panic in their hearts, forcing themselves to talk cheerfully and wittily, speaking dry jokes and pulling exaggerated smiles. But their pale white faces, dark eye bags and sluggish footsteps betrayed their expressions, their lost eyes made their ruse look so much like a joke.

Temple had never fallen into such a predicament at all.

The front lines were steadily losing their ground, Gou Cheng WenDao’s plea for reinforcements came nearly thrice a day. Qiu Xu Hua had encountered heavy losses, and Mo Xin’s location was unknown.

Furthermore, the Savage Continent’s large army had appeared outside of the Wei Ye Guan Continent.

This pushed the clan elders, whose mental states were already on the brink of collapsing even further, to the point that they were about to cry.

~Since when did the simple Savage Continent join in on the action?~

The Honorable Martial Continent had intentions on the Savage Continent, otherwise, they would not have persevered with the mission on infiltrating the Savage Continent. But that did not mean that the Honorable Martial Continent dared to provoke the Savage Continent, even though they always spoke of the Savage Continent in disdain, in their hearts, they were extremely clear of their horrific strength.

The Savage Continent was like a large hornet nest, whoever provoked it was bound to die.

The countless skeletons belonging to the ambitious people in the Savage Continent proved this point.

The only thing that made the Honorable Martial Continent more at ease was that the Savage Continent had never sought to expand their continent in history, as all of their efforts were always in their internal strife. The Savage Continent’s history did not seem to have a break in the messy and chaotic wars. This was why the Savage Continent had never been unified as a whole before.

But, the Savage Continent that never took the initiative to expand, actually had a massive scale army that appeared outside of the Wei Ye Guan Continent.

Many of the clan elders could not help but recall a portion of report that Mu Zhi Xia had sent previously, with regards to a lady, a Goddess of War. Mu Zhi Xia had claimed that she had built up the Perseus King Court, and was probably able to unify Savage Continent. At that time, all of them snorted their noses upon reading the report. ~Unifying the Savage Continent? This has never been done for over ten thousand years, and a woman actually did it? What joke is he playing at!~ If the report was not sent by Mu Zhi Xia, who held an esteemed position, the clan elders would had already ordered for a punishment.

Suddenly, when many of the clan elders remembered this report, a cold chill formed in their hearts.

~Could it be…..could it be that the report was real?~

Everyone started to worry, in the few decades of infiltration, the Honorable Martial Continent had a deeper understanding towards the Savage Continent than in the past. The reason why the Savage Continent never posed a threat to the Honorable Martial Continent was because they lacked a leader.

The group of savages only lacked a leader!

To the Honorable Martial Continent, if they were to have a leader, it would be a nightmare.

And finally, the nightmare was being realized right in front of their eyes.

“Where is Master Mu Zhi Xia? Why hasn’t anyone received news from Master Mu Zhi Xia?” One of the clan elder asked.

His question aroused the attention of the other clan elders, all of their eyes settled on Sacred Son Charles. That’s right, in such a critical situation with a large army posing a threat, Temple actually did not receive a word from Master Mu Zhi Xia.

In such a dangerous time, only a Great General like Mu Zhi Xia could give them security.

Charles face was extremely ugly, he forced out a smile: “Master Mu Zhi Xia has not returned.”

The clan elders flew into an uproar, all of them had faces of disbelief, they all thought that they had misheard. With the threat of an enemy army, the great general that was supposed to defend them was not present!

That was why the clan elders were reacting in such a way. Mu Zhi Xia had a high prestige, his accomplishments were known amongst all of them, and his decades of cautious and conscientious hard work made him a model among many generals in the Honorable Martial Continent .

How could negligence ever be linked to him?

Instead, Charles was the only calm one, as he smiled: “He is now in the Savage Continent with the mission to kill the Perseus Queen, we must have confidence in him.”

Instantly, all of the clan elders revealed looks of enlightenment, ~So that’s why, how can Master Mu Zhi Xia ever neglect his work!~

All of the worries amongst the clan elders were eased. As for the clan elders who had previously seen the report, they were praising him, ~As expected of Master Mu Zhi Xia, he is able to see the most important of details.~ They had all forgotten about the time when they had snorted at the report given by him.

The atmosphere immediately eased up, they believed that with Mu Zhi Xia handling the situation, there was nothing to be afraid of.

No one doubted that Mu Zhi Xia would fail.

“I am the same with everyone here, all of us have confidence in Master Mu Zhi Xia. But, I have a piece of bad news to inform everyone.” Charles expression turned serious, where the clan elder standing closest to him noticed him clenching his fists tightly to the point that his nails were white.

The clan elders quietened down, all of them looking at Sacred Son Charles in surprise. To their impression, Sacred Son Charles had always been elegant and graceful, and never ruffled. They had never seen him so serious and anxious.

Everyone started to have a bad premonition in their minds.

“We have just received news.”

Charles spoke softly, with a trace of sadness and panic as he looked at everyone.

They were in dead silence, the bad feeling in the clan elders’ hearts grew stronger and stronger, the relaxed atmosphere a moment ago had become tensed again.

“Collin died in battle, his entire army was annihilated. Collin’s army encountered an enemy ambush, the fleet….” Collin stopped, he took a deep breath, as though he was trying to gather up some courage: “The entire army was destroyed.”

Dead silence, as though there was no living person around.

The clan elders were stunned, they held onto their heads, the expressions on their faces remained frozen, their eyes were wide opened, like fish who accidentally swam out of water.

For ten full seconds, the entire place did not make a sound.

“It is unfortunate. This was the latest news we received.” Charles face was pale white: “The enemy refurbished the Honorable Martial’s Roar and created an Ultimate Army Warship which is extremely powerful. That was how Oliver’s fleet was defeated. As for Collin’s army, we have no concrete details as of yet. The enemy cut off the Star Door between the Desolate Continent and the White Fields Continent, so no one from Collin’s Army have made it out.”

Countless of exclamations came out together, when the palace suddenly exploded, the roar causing everybody’s mind to go numb.

“Temple is at its most critical moment.”

Right at that moment, a low pitched voice sounded out from behind Charles, instantly suppressing all the hoorah. An imposing and holy aura instantly enveloped the entire place, as though a God had descended. A figure clad in gold light slowly walked out.

“Great Clan Elder!”

All of the clan elders awoke from their stupor, the panic on their faces had disappeared, replaced with respect and revere, all of them lowered their heads and bowed down.

Wherever the Great Clan Elder passed, the golden Holy Flame would flow on the ground, the Honorable Martial Palace rumbled as radiant energy started to fall from the sky.

Under the power of a god, no one could stand!

Everyone on sight immediately knelt down on the ground, their entire bodies trembling incessantly, whether it was from excitement or fear, no one knew.

The dignified and indifferent voice resonated out through the entire Honorable Martial Palace like thunder.

“Let’s go, to strike the Holy Bell.”
