Chapter 452 - 447: Encircled Headquarters
Early the next morning.
Lin You quickly used his cross-border transmission ability to arrive at the Anti-Alliance base at the entrance of the Guiyuan Realm.
Though it was only morning, the base was already bustling with people coming and going.
Many Lord cultivators gathered here, setting up shops and engaging in various transactions.
Those Lords planning to explore the battle zones would also resupply and rest here, waiting for their teammates and such.
Just as Lin You arrived through the teleportation, two figures engaged in conversation at the edge of the plaza noticed him immediately.
“Lin You?”
An exclamation of surprise reached Lin You’s ears, causing him to halt as he was about to head for the high-level battlefield.
Then he saw Yan Lie and Situ Jian, whom he hadn’t seen for days, quickly approaching him.
“It’s you two. I didn’t expect to run into you here,” Lin You said in surprise.
“You’re the one who always stays holed up in the territory, it’s hard to find you,” Yan Lie complained.
“This guy just wants you to craft equipment for him, don’t mind him,” Situ Jian quickly said. “By the way, I heard you’ve upgraded to Tier Nine now?”
After speaking, he looked at Lin You in amazement.
Yan Lie’s attention was instantly drawn as well.
Consider this.
When they reached Tier Eight, Lin You was only at Tier Seven.
But now Lin You had surprisingly advanced to Tier Nine first, news which had shocked them for quite a while.
“Yes, I got lucky on the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms and acquired quite a few resources, just enough to upgrade to Tier Nine.”
With Yan Lie and Situ Jian, Lin You didn’t need to hide anything.
When they promoted to Tier Eight, they still teamed up with him, who was only Tier Seven, to hunt demons.
Just for that, they were friends worth having.
“You silently advanced to Tier Nine, just wait, I’ll take down a few more Realm Alliance figures in the Mid-level Battlefield and catch up to you soon,” Yan Lie said a bit disgruntledly.
“Me too,” Situ Jian said seriously.
As Lords of the same period, he naturally didn’t want to fall too far behind.
“Haha, alright, I’ll be waiting for you two to hit Tier Nine then.”
Lin You had no doubts about the talent of these two.
They already possessed strength far surpassing that of ordinary fellows of the same tier, so reaching Tier Nine was just a matter of time.
And just like that.
They chatted for a long time at the plaza’s edge, agreeing to meet later in the high-level battlefield before bidding farewell and parting ways.
Lin You passed through the teleportation portal at the plaza’s edge, quickly reaching the high-level battlefield.
With a quick orientation, he hastened toward the direction of the Primordial Realm’s garrison.
While roaming the garrison yesterday, he discovered a bulletin in each realm’s garrison used to post battlefield missions.
Missions like scouting enemy movements, cleaning spies, dismantling enemy outposts, raids, or even eliminating designated threat units.
All of which served to advance the frontlines and were indicators distributed by above to each realm’s garrison, seemingly with extra merit rewards available upon completion.
Fittingly, as he was preparing to explore outside, he thought he’d first check for any suitable battlefield missions.
With that thought.
Lin You quickened his pace, swiftly heading to the garrison.
Yet what he didn’t expect was that, upon nearing the Primordial Realm’s garrison, he was suddenly startled by an angry shout.
“Supreme Mysterious Realm, don’t push too far! This task for upgrading our garrison was hard-earned, why should we give it to you?!”
Is someone causing trouble at their Primordial Realm garrison?
Lin You was shocked internally and immediately rushed towards the direction of the voice.
Indeed.
The outside of the Primordial Realm’s garrison was already swarmed with a large crowd of Lord onlookers, pointing and commenting.
Even quite a few alien races from outside the Human Race joined the commotion.
“Battlefield missions are for the capable. Given the difficulty of this task, your Primordial Realm simply can’t complete it. It’s better handed to us, the Supreme Mysterious Realm, to accomplish.”
“Exactly, if the mission fails, delaying military matters is minor, while delaying our advance is major. Can your Primordial Realm bear that responsibility?”
“Hah! Such pretty words, you’re just after the task’s rewards, really think our Primordial Realm is easy to bully?”
Lin You had just squeezed into the crowd when a few angry shouts echoed from inside again.
Peering through the crowd, he saw two teams of Lords gathered outside the Primordial Realm’s garrison, confronting each other, with a heavy gunpowder atmosphere mingling in the air.
The name of the Supreme Mysterious Realm, he had only heard bits about.
It appeared to be one of the stronger realms among the Ten Thousand Realms, much mightier than the barely mid-tier Primordial Realm, with a far greater count of high-tier Lords.
No wonder they were being so audacious, shamelessly trying to steal the task right outside their garrison, and it’s a task for a garrison upgrade.
You see.
The higher the garrison level, the larger its scale, and the better the missions it issues.
This was standard on all battlefields, a method of assessing the comprehensive strength of each realm.
Seizing the upgrade task was tantamount to cutting off their realm’s resources; it wasn’t merely a simple realm conflict.
As if to affirm Lin You’s thoughts.
The elder leading the Primordial Realm side snorted coldly at this moment.
“Don’t think I’m unaware. Your Supreme Mysterious Realm has held a grudge against us ever since one of your Great Emperors was severely injured by us and you’ve been looking for a chance to retaliate.”
This elder exuded a formidable aura, the strongest among all the Tier Nine Lords from the Primordial Realm that Lin You had ever encountered, clearly a figure of considerable prestige within the realm.
And his words left Lin You in a moment of realization.
So it turns out there had been a rift between the Supreme Mysterious Realm and their Primordial Realm for quite some time, no wonder.
Indeed, the long-standing conflicts between realms are not so easily resolved.
However, since the other party had already come to bully them, as a person of the Primordial Realm, he naturally could not sit idly by. He immediately pushed through the crowd and joined the ranks of the Primordial Realm.
Yesterday on the battlefield, Lin You had collected thousands of species corpses and stored them in the Origin Space.
And the Bloody Frenzy effect of Cyan Rattan is stronger than that of ordinary Bloody Beldam species.
Devouring these thousands of corpses all at once is definitely no less than any old lord.
This was also his greatest trump card for a burst of power at the moment.
With this trump card, as long as he didn’t encounter those Tier Nine old monsters, he had enough confidence to protect himself.
And at that moment.
The Supreme Mysterious Realm on the opposite side finally grew impatient.
“Since you refuse to hand over the task, don’t blame us for teaching you a lesson. Attack!”
With a loud shout, the lords of the Supreme Mysterious Realm suddenly surrounded the Primordial Realm’s ranks.
In the battlefield zone, killing is not allowed at will, or severe punishment will follow.
But general brawls and provocations are not overseen, as long as no one dies.
This is why the Supreme Mysterious Realm dared to be so arrogant.
“Are you really planning on mutual destruction with us?” The elder at the forefront looked livid as he sized up the opposing forces outnumbering their own species troops.
The other lords also clenched their fists, veins bulging.
Being bullied at their doorstep and forced into passive defense—when had they ever suffered such humiliation?
But if they fought back, with their disadvantage in numbers, there would be no benefit to gain.
At that time, even their stronghold might be implicated and destroyed in an instant.
“Mutual destruction? With just your numbers? You’re overestimating yourselves.” The leading middle-aged man from the Supreme Mysterious Realm sneered disdainfully.
Then, with a stern look, he was about to give the attack order.
“Enough.”
Unexpectedly, a voice full of authority suddenly resonated in the void.
All the lords’ expressions changed. They quickly looked up and found the Commander had appeared from nowhere, accompanied by several strong figures.
Upon closer inspection, they were all Tier Ten Lords!
“Greetings to the Commander!”
“Greetings to the Commander!”
The lords hurried to bow respectfully, not daring to show neglect.
Even the people from the Supreme Mysterious Realm turned pale, completely caught off guard by the Commander’s personal intervention.
And those Tier Ten Lords had clearly just arrived from various realms to assist the Commander in defending the battlefield.
The Commander’s gaze swept around, then he spoke calmly: “Now is the time for all realms to unite against the enemy. We should put aside our differences and fight together.”
After finishing, he gave Lin You among the Primordial Realm ranks an additional glance, a flash of surprise in his eyes.
“Yes, yes, the Commander’s teachings are right.” The leader from the Supreme Mysterious Realm readily agreed, not daring to dissent.
This secretly relieved the Primordial Realm lords, who gradually relaxed their previously tense spirits.
With the intervention of an Eleven Tier powerhouse, the Supreme Mysterious Realm wouldn’t dare act recklessly in the short term.
“Alright, disperse. The Realm Alliance’s activities have become increasingly frequent lately, so stay alert and vigilant.”
With those words, the Commander flashed away along with the Tier Ten Lords, vanishing instantly.
The oppressive terrorizing pressure that had enveloped the surroundings dissipated with them, easing the hearts of all the lords.
No one dared to linger, and they scattered swiftly, disappearing in no time.
As for the lords of the Supreme Mysterious Realm, they reluctantly glanced at the Primordial Realm and others.
“Consider yourselves lucky today. We’re leaving!”
With that, they turned and left with their entire contingent.
An inter-realm conflict was thus hastily ended due to the appearance of the Commander.
“The Supreme Mysterious Realm likely won’t let this go so easily.”
Watching their retreating figures, a lord from the Primordial Realm commented softly.
“Indeed.” The leading elder nodded, “The overall strength of their realm surpasses ours. Everyone should be careful when venturing out, and avoid getting caught by them.”
“Also, did you notice, the Commander seems to be intentionally helping us?”
“Now that you mention it, I felt the same. Could it be he’s acquainted with some big shot from our realm?”
“It’s possible.”
The lords discussed among themselves as they walked back towards their base.
None noticed the strange expression on Lin You’s face in their group.
Just now, Lin You distinctly felt the Commander’s gaze linger on him for a moment.
Could it be because of yesterday’s battle?
