Chapter 636 - 498: Plan Successful: The Foreign Races in Turmoil, the North District Falls

"Alright!" The Ice River Race’s Strongest immediately nodded.

But the Strongest from the Glacier Race frowned, looking somewhat worried.

"If we all charge over there, what do we do if the Human Alliance decides to launch a surprise attack on our rear?" the Strongest from the Glacier Race asked hesitantly.

"The Human Alliance? Hahaha! We’ve already suppressed them so thoroughly in the North District that they don’t dare to show their faces. How could they possibly spare anyone to attack us?"

"Hmm, you have a point!"

"Alright, even if the Human Alliance lacks the strength, what about the South District? Those few from there... they’ve always been ambitious!" the Glacier Race’s Strongest said again.

"They won’t. Don’t worry about it. The fault here lies with those Old Bats in the West District. If the South District dares to move against our North District now, it would trigger an all-out war. If it really comes to that, our three great races will join forces. Even if we can’t crush them completely, we’ll drag them down with us into mutual destruction!" Northwest Wolf said, waving his hand dismissively.

"I agree with Brother Xi Bei. There’s no way the South District would get involved at a time like this!" the Ice River Race’s Strongest said with conviction.

"Hmm... Brother Xi Bei is right. I suppose I was worrying too much." The Strongest from the Glacier Race finally nodded.

’Trigger an all-out war?’

’At a critical moment like this, it really isn’t likely.’

’The chances of the South District attacking are virtually zero.’

’And the Human Alliance is currently tied down by the Faceless Snow Demon of Ice City. It’s just as unlikely that they could spare any forces.’

’Launch an all-out attack on the West District.’

’Beat those Old Bats to a pulp, then force them to cede territory and pay reparations... It’s definitely worth a shot.’

"Then what are we waiting for? Summon them!"

"Hmph. Anyone who dares to refuse will be making an enemy of every race in the North District!" Northwest Wolf declared, finishing with a loud howl. AWOOOO!

...

「Three hours later.」

Having been notified, the remaining Strongest from every race gathered with the Werewolf Race.

Only one failed to appear.

Bloodthirst.

However, while Bloodthirst himself was absent, the Clan King and several great Elders of the Blood Race had arrived.

"Our ancestor’s wishes are that... since we are going to war, the North District cannot be left completely undefended. He will remain to guard the North District against any unexpected events. We few will march to battle in his stead!" one of the Blood Race Elders politely explained to the other Strongest.

"Hmm, Lord Bloodthirst has a point!" Northwest Wolf nodded.

Seeing Northwest Wolf agree, the other Strongest naturally had no objections. They all expressed their gratitude, agreeing to entrust the task of guarding the North District to Lord Bloodthirst.

Time was of the essence.

For all the Strongest to leave the Source of Evolution was undoubtedly risky.

Therefore, the Strongest were in no mood for chatting, feasting, or gathering for tea. Once everyone had arrived, they immediately set out for the lands of the Vampire Race.

SWISH!

SWISH!

One figure after another shot into the sky.

Naturally, Gao Neng soon received the intel forwarded by the Werewolf Race.

’The plan is proceeding smoothly.’

’No unexpected hitches.’

’Everything is under control. All the Strongest are marching on the West District. The only remaining problem is how to conquer the North District races, one by one, without arousing their suspicion.’

"We can reach the Ice River Race in another hour, but we need to wait a little longer," Gao Neng said, halting their advance just before they arrived.

"Wait? Why do we have to wait?" Fang Tangtang asked, confused.

"We need to wait until the North and West Districts start fighting..." Gao Neng said with a smirk.

"Oh, I see."

...

Time passed quickly.

One hour.

Two hours.

Three hours later...

Gao Neng made his move on the Ice River Race.

Of course, when he "made his move," it wasn’t him personally, but rather Xu Zilan, who had been waiting nearby.

The attack came from Xu Zilan!

BOOM!

The Ice River Race’s Royal Hall, which had only recently been devastated, was struck by disaster once more.

And at that very moment...

Over in the Vampire Race’s territory, the Ice River Race’s Strongest, who was in the thick of the fighting, received a message from his Clan King.

"This is bad! The Red Duke is attacking my Ice River Race again!"

"What?! Impossible! The Red Duke is at the West District’s main fortress right now, attacking the City of Hope! How could he possibly be at the Ice River Race’s territory?" the Vampire Old Duke roared.

"Stop the act, Old Bat! We’re not falling for your lies again! If you don’t give us an explanation today, we’ll flatten your Bat Cave!" Northwest Wolf bellowed, charging downward.

"No, I have to go back," the Ice River Race’s Strongest said, panicking.

"Retreat now? Old Ice River, has your brain gone rusty? Don’t you see what’s happening? Once we take Bat City, what do you have to fear from the damage one Red Duke can cause?" the Old Snowman immediately interjected, blocking his path.

The Ice River Race’s Strongest fell silent.

"Just fight! Only the victors have the right to negotiate!" the Old Snowman urged again.

"Hmph... Old Bat, I’ll fight you to the death!" The Ice River Race’s Strongest finally nodded. After all, it was already too late to turn back now.

’The Vampire Race was clearly trying to force a retreat by attacking my home base.’

’Seeing us coming to wage war...’

’...they immediately sent the Red Duke to harass our rear.’

’Such a detestable scheme.’

Just as he was thinking this, he received another message, this one from ’Bloodthirst’.

"I have reached the Ice River Race’s lands. Do not worry, my brother!"

’Lord Bloodthirst is truly a man of his word!’ After receiving this message, the Ice River Race’s Strongest finally felt relieved.

’With Bloodthirst there, the Ice River Race is safe.’

’Nothing can distract me now...’

’I have only one thought in my mind.’

’Fight with all my might!’

The Ice River Race’s Strongest dove down.

He unleashed his most powerful attacks...

On the ground, waves of frigid energy surged forth like the Galaxy itself, sealing off all roads around the Bat Royal City.

"Today, I will fight you to the death!"

"KILL!"

The Ice River Race’s Strongest was ferocious.

But in the midst of his ferocious assault... his expression changed.

He had the inexplicable feeling that his very soul was being controlled by something new.

That’s right!

The Ice River Race’s Source of Evolution.

It had been seized!

"!!!" The Ice River Race’s Strongest was completely dumbfounded.

’Didn’t Bloodthirst say he was going to the rescue?’

’Wait!’

’This isn’t right!’

’The Vampire Race already has a vassal race. Did they abandon it to take ours?’

’No, the ones controlling my race... it seems to be the Ye... Yeti Race?!’ The Ice River Race’s Strongest realized as he focused on the sensation.

The entity controlling his soul...

...seemed to be the ’root’ of the Yeti Race.

’How is this possible?’

"Old Snowman, you..." The Ice River Race’s Strongest looked toward the Old Snowman.

"Fight! Show some courage, Old Ice River!" the Old Snowman shouted back instinctively, seeing the glare from the Ice River Race’s Strongest.

He truly had a guilty conscience.

"Right..." The Ice River Race’s Strongest gritted his teeth.

’I can’t accept this!’

’I could accept being controlled by the Vampire Race. At least they’re a major race! But being controlled by the Yeti Race? What the hell is that?!’

He was furious. He was resentful.

But he couldn’t disobey...

He charged down.

His assault grew even more ferocious.

He vowed to vent all his pent-up fury on the Vampire Race.

"Old Bat, I’ll fucking kill you!!!"

"We are a noble race... Damn it all! Do you have to be so ruthless? We’re in the middle of a war with the humans, and you people from the North District gather to attack us? Fine! Then let’s fight!" The Old Duke truly couldn’t hold them off alone.

Even though he was powerful.

But facing several of the North District’s Strongest, who fought like madmen, he was still outmatched. Realizing he would be killed if he didn’t call for reinforcements, he sent out a signal.

SCREEE!!!

"Reinforcements, now!!!"

"The North District has gone mad!"
