Chapter 437 - 205: Cut Grass Lieutenant General_1
"I’ve heard a bit about Master Han’s feat of killing the Shadow Alliance Assassin despite being in the guise of a White Crow."
"Everyone only knows about Master Han’s Goose Immortal, but they do not know Master Han is also White Crow. If the truth comes out one day, it will definitely be earth-shattering."
Having recovered his breath after the fight, Dongfang Xu opened up.
Ye Hanjun’s battle record was too splendid.
It’s never an easy task to leap across ranks, let alone from the 3rd to the 4th Order, with the enemy undergoing transformation and possessing two all the more powerful Wheel of Life Embryos. Only absolute strength combined with absolute wisdom, indispensable and complementary to each other, can yield such a result.
"You’re impressive too, advancing from the 2nd Order to the 3rd Order right after your retake. Now, you have again reached the level you were once so close to. What are your thoughts?" Ye Hanjun asked with a laugh.
"For now, I still can’t act recklessly."
The flickering light in Dongfang Xu’s pupils indicated that he understood Master Han’s words quite well.
"I want to find a chance for a fair and square fight with Qin Tianyi and then kill him as the victor."
"He’s now at the Small Achievement level of the Jade Infant, almost reaching Great Completion."
"I’ve just promoted and need to accumulate further. I have to reach at least the same level, then after bypassing Vice President Qin Quanqin, I’ll deliver the thunderbolt strike."
"As long as you have confidence."
Ye Hanjun nodded:
"I will help you achieve the fair fight and direct revenge you want, but I will only assist and won’t intervene directly unless it’s absolutely necessary."
"Hearing you say that is more than enough."
Dongfang Xu lifted his head, exuding confidence:
"That guy, I trampled on him when I was at the 2nd Order. Now that he’s at the 3rd Order... I want to see how much he’s advanced..."
...
After checking the progress of the fifth disciple’s cultivation and learning some information about the mercenary circle, Ye Hanjun returned to Canghai Pavilion for a bath, cooked for GuaGua, then went to sleep.
The next day, while reading "Under the War," the chime echoed.
In the temporary meeting hall where over 20,000 people had gathered, it was quiet one moment and noisy the next.
"This bell sound... so solemn and serious, what happened?"
"It seems a distinguished guest has come to the academy. Who is this important figure that even requires such ceremonial sounds?"
Students and mentors whispered among themselves, their eyes constantly scanning for anything unusual.
Indeed, a few minutes later, a small group of people entered the meeting hall in a hurry.
Keen-eyed students immediately noticed Du Yuanjia and Qingyi among the seven or eight people.
They had finally returned from the Imperial City, bringing back new news?
"According to the decree given by the Crown Prince and the Prince, Grass Frog Country, with its wolfish ambition, has already instigated large-scale wars in multiple border areas, resulting in heavy casualties."
"The borders are in urgent crisis and there’s a severe shortage of soldiers. At this critical moment, the ’Forced Conscription Order’ is enacted, deploying exploitable forces from both Canghai Pavilion and Tianyafu Residence to defend Blue Mountain City and Blue Peak City."
An old man wearing a blue gold official hat poured his Soul Power into a special scroll.
For a moment, a huge curtain appeared above his head, displaying not only all of his spoken words, but also some ambiguous, fragmenting images that disappeared in a flash.
In those images, there were either dark clouds covering the sky and blood soaring to the heavens, or fallen heads and scattered corpses of beasts. Fresh students who had never seen such scenes screamed in shock, their faces filled with fear.
"Join the army? They actually need us to join the army?"
Huo Xin, with his eyes wide and mouth agape, was shocked for a while before saying:
"As the future hope and support of the country, the importance of students from the two institutions is self-evident. Has the situation become so critical already that they need to directly mobilise us to supplement the military power?"
"The situation is indeed critical!"
Du Yuanjia exhaled a long breath. Having not seen him for half a month, he seemed to have aged significantly.
"While the Red Frog Country has not openly endorsed the encroachment and invasion of the Grass Frog Country on the surface, it has not objected either. The implications of its attitude are rather intriguing."
"But the Grass Frog Country’s blatant and unpretentious hostility implies that they want to occupy our territory and divide it for their own brighter developments."
"If they truly achieve their ambitions, the day when our border defenses are breached will be the day our Blue Frog Kingdom’s millions of citizens become refugees, and the risk of the country’s ruin... is imminent!"
Hearing the words of the dean himself, the fresh students were all at a loss.
The old students of the Southern Campus were a bit more composed. They had been prepared since the fall of the King. They just didn’t expect this day to come so quickly and urgently.
"Who is in charge of the throne now, the Crown Prince or Prince?"
Linghu Fei suddenly stood up and asked loudly.
This voice was like a ship breaking through the waves, instantly piercing the noisy crowd and striking everyone’s hearts.
"This..." Du Yuanjia and Qingyi exchanged glances, their eyes filled with gloom.
The old official who announced the decree sighed helplessly and said slowly:
"Both the Crown Prince and the Prince... have temporarily given up the dispute for the throne and chosen to join hands to tide over this crisis."
"So you’re saying that the Blue Frog Kingdom is currently masterless, and any important military affairs require the consent of both the Crown and the Prince?"
Ma Nongmei, the defeated Fighter, found it absurd and couldn’t help but sneer.
"This...is beyond our capacity to intervene."
