Chapter 622 - 490: Holy Shit!!! Gao Neng, You’re So Shameless!!

This is the truth!

And it’s also a truth that those in a favorable position have an advantage!

「One year later.」

The great war was about to begin.

As the major city closest to the City of Hope, Ice City’s geographical importance was self-evident.

"Our Blood Race has suffered greatly in this war. We originally intended to help the Ice and Snow Race, but who would have thought the humans would launch an attack with their Strongest? The Blood Marshal fell on the spot... What a tragedy!" As Blood Frenzy spoke, he secretly clenched his fists.

"There’s no need for that, Blood Frenzy. We will definitely avenge this!"

"Yes!"

"Rest assured, Blood Frenzy!"

"AWOOO!"

Suddenly, the Werewolf let out a beastly roar.

Then, he shot up from his seat.

"This is bad! Those two Old Bats actually dare to launch a sneak attack?!" the Werewolf roared, his eyes instantly turning bloodshot.

"What?! They dare!!" On hearing this, Blood Frenzy immediately shot to his feet.

"That’s impossible, isn’t it? We are in a bitter war with the humans. Even if the Vampire Race holds some grudge against your Werewolf Race, there’s no way they would launch a sneak attack at a time like this. Aren’t they afraid of becoming a public enemy?" the Faceless Snow Demon frowned.

"It’s bad! They’re about to break into our Sacred Land!" The Werewolf seemed not to have heard Blood Frenzy and the Faceless Snow Demon, his ears twitching nonstop.

"What?!"

"I have to leave at once!" The Werewolf made to leave.

"Wait. There’s something strange about this. The Vampire Race already has vassals. Why would they attack your Sacred Land now?" Blood Frenzy immediately stopped him.

"What if they willingly released control over their vassals? Since they dare to attack my clan’s Sacred Land at this time, they must have a scheme. No, I have to go back now."

"This is Ice City. Brother Lang, even if you rush back now, I’m afraid you won’t make it in time, right?" Blood Frenzy didn’t move out of the way.

"Blood Frenzy, move! I don’t care if there’s enough time or not, I have to go back!"

"Brother Lang, don’t be hasty. I have an idea."

"What idea?"

"The three of us—the Blood Race, the Snow Demon Race, and your Werewolf Race—will issue a joint distress signal, ordering the Strongest of the other races to rush to Greed Wolf City at once!" Blood Frenzy looked at the Faceless Snow Demon.

"That can work!" The Faceless Snow Demon nodded.

The twenty-five races of the North District had an unwritten pact.

When the North District faced an external enemy as one, if a Strongest from another district launched a sneak attack, the three major races of the North District could issue a joint command to forcibly order the Strongest from the other races to provide support.

"The Yeti Race is closest to Greed Wolf City. Have the Old Snowman rush over immediately. That will secure Greed Wolf City for now. Then, we’ll have the Ice River Race and the Glacier Race, who are near the Vampire Race, proceed to the Vampire Royal City. It’s a classic ’besiege Wei to rescue Zhao’ strategy. Wouldn’t that be better than you rushing back now, Brother Lang?" Blood Frenzy offered his suggestion.

"That makes sense!"

"If the Vampire Race dares to stir up trouble at a time like this, they’ll become the public enemy of all our races. Those few from the West... probably won’t help them!"

"Alright, I’ll have to trouble you then!" the Werewolf immediately nodded.

"AWOOO!"

"YOWL!"

The cries of the Strongest echoed through Ice City.

...

...

In the Blood Race Royal Hall, on the island in the pool.

The Blood Race King, Blood Spray, had rushed over after all.

He hadn’t found Mu Feifei. Instead, he brought urgent intelligence.

"Lord Gao Neng, a message has arrived from Lord Blood Frenzy. As per your plan, the Strongest of the other races have been dispatched to Greed Wolf City as reinforcements." As Blood Spray finished speaking, he clenched his jaw.

’So shameless!’

’How could his Blood Race help Gao Neng do such a thing?’

’But there was no other way.’

’The lives of the entire Blood Race were in the hands of Gao Neng and his people.’

’He did not fear death.’

’But the pain of his race’s extinction was something he still couldn’t bear.’

"Oh? Which races were mobilized?" Gao Neng nodded.

"According to the plan, the Yeti Race’s Old Snowman was mobilized to rescue Greed Wolf City. Additionally, the two lords from the Ice River Race and the Glacier Race were sent to the Vampire Race," Blood Spray immediately replied.

"Mm, then the next target is the Ice River Race!" A corner of Gao Neng’s mouth lifted into a smirk.

"Yes!" Blood Spray immediately withdrew to pass the message to Bloodthirst.

Fang Tangtang, however, showed a hint of confusion.

But she didn’t say anything. She waited until Blood Spray’s figure disappeared before sidling up to Gao Neng, a look of eager curiosity on her face.

"Why is the Ice River Race the next target? I thought picking the Yeti Race would be the right move. The Yeti Race is closest to Greed Wolf City, so wouldn’t it be better to occupy them? And in terms of power, the Yeti Race is stronger than the Ice River Race, right?" Fang Tangtang blinked at Gao Neng.

"Yes, the Yeti Race is indeed stronger, and also closer. But, have you considered what will happen when the Strongest from the Ice River Race and the Glacier Race arrive at the Vampire Race’s territory together?" Gao Neng nodded, then glanced at the pool’s water as he spoke.

"A vicious battle, of course!" Fang Tangtang said with certainty.

"Why a vicious battle?"

"Didn’t you say that anyone who makes a move at this time becomes the public enemy of all the races?"

"But in reality, the Vampire Race didn’t make a move. And the Ice River Race and the Glacier Race have no feud with the Vampire Race. When their Strongest arrive, they certainly won’t attack on sight. So, as soon as the Strongest from the Ice River and Glacier Races get there, this problem will be exposed."

"This... Then why did you still have the Ice River and Glacier Races go there?" Hearing this, Fang Tangtang was naturally even more confused.

"Do you know what the most unbearable hatred in this world is?" Gao Neng smiled faintly.

"What is it?"

"Betrayal!"

"Betrayal?"

"Correct. After the Strongest from the Ice River and Glacier Races arrive at the Vampire Race’s territory and discover the truth, what will they do?" Gao Neng continued to ask.

"Naturally, they’ll help the Vampire Race explain the situation and tell the Strongest of the North District that the Vampire Race didn’t actually ambush the Werewolf Race!" Fang Tangtang said with a confident expression.

"Exactly! And then, right after they’ve helped the Vampire Race clear their name, they discover that their own homelands have been attacked by the Vampire Race. What do you think... they’ll do then?"

"Then they’ll definitely try to fight the Vampire Race to the death!"

"Right. Fight to the death."

"HOLY CRAP!!! Gao Neng, you’re so despicable!!!" Fang Tangtang was stunned for a moment, then finally processed it and shouted out loud.

"All’s fair in war. Since the great war has already begun, it’s only natural to use any means necessary!" Gao Neng didn’t mind Fang Tangtang’s ’praise’. After all, he didn’t think he had done anything wrong.

The overall strength of the Alien Race Alliance Army was more than five times that of the Human Alliance!

A showdown like this was unfair from the start.

Since it was unfair...

...why bother with being open and honorable?

Seeing a weakness and not attacking it because of some so-called ’honor’—now that would be truly foolish.

Since ancient times, in any war where the few defeated the many, which one was ever won through a head-on clash of brute force?

"By the way, Fang Tangtang, you broke through to a higher rank in the Blood Pool. Was it because you drank the water from the Blood Pool?" Gao Neng glanced at the pool, suddenly thinking of the Blood Pool beneath it.

"Mhm, I drank three big gulps in total." Fang Tangtang nodded, then mysteriously leaned her head in closer. "Do you want to drink some too?"

"Can’t I?" Gao Neng pursed his lips.

"Hahaha, of course you can! Speaking of which, the water from this Blood Pool has a slightly sweet taste, completely different from the Spring of Life we drank back with the Elf Race. Oh, right, you might not believe this, but I can transform now!" Fang Tangtang pumped her fist.

"Transform? Into a Blood Rage Berserk state?" Gao Neng immediately thought of Lin Ying’s Blood Rage Berserk; he’d heard that was an ability gained from drinking the water of the Blood Pool.

"Tch, what’s so great about a Blood Rage Berserk state... Would I, Death God Fang Tangtang, get excited over a measly Blood Rage Berserk?" Fang Tangtang said with a look of disdain.
