Chapter 1382: Chapter 4: Cows and A Mu

Sitting on the bed inside the cell, Su Xiao has gained some understanding of the War World he is in.

Firstly, the camp he is in is called the Geya Alliance, also known as the Country of Freedom. The Country of Freedom consists of multiple races, and because it’s so damn free, there is no discrimination among them.

Or rather, there is simply no reason to discriminate; the citizens of the Country of Freedom are fierce, focus on military strength, and value ability.

Due to long-term external resource plunder, the Country of Freedom does not have a good reputation; they are known for military arrogance and bloodthirsty barbarism, which is how other nations perceive them.

Excessive freedom and openness have led to a unique order here. Committing minor infractions might be okay, but for major crimes, you’re basically done.

The country opposing the Country of Freedom is called the Sun Kingdom, ruled by royal authority plus divine authority. Upon seeing the keyword "divine authority," Su Xiao immediately thought of those people from Holy Sanctuary Paradise; if his guess is right, the Contractors from Holy Sanctuary Paradise should be in this camp.

The Sun Kingdom enforces strict laws; its streets are clean and tidy, virtually spotless. This nation is monoracial, somewhat xenophobic, though the degree of xenophobia is not too exaggerated.

In the past century, the Sun Kingdom’s technological level has been crushed by the Country of Freedom, allowing them to do as they please. If it weren’t for divine authority support, they would have been beaten to the ground by the Country of Freedom long ago.

This situation arises due to different attitudes towards talent. In the Country of Freedom, even a beggar can rise quickly if they have ability.

The Sun Kingdom, however, is different. It is upright to the point of obsession with cleanliness and values origin highly. Those without a good background, even if talented, can only end in depression. As for talented foreigners, they can either settle in the Country of Freedom or live a stable life in the Sun Kingdom.

Of course, joining the Country of Freedom might not be a good thing; the people here are fierce, and with excessive freedom and iron discipline, you could easily lose your life.

Both major nations have their strengths and relative weaknesses. In terms of technology and military, the Country of Freedom is stronger; in terms of resources and mysticism, the Sun Kingdom is stronger.

Interestingly, the Sun Kingdom’s religious sect worships not the Sun God but the Goddess of Dawn.

This is quite interesting; originally, the Sun Kingdom’s sole deity was the Sun God Arthur Tanner. However, something went awry, and the Sun God stopped granting ’Divine Power’ to his followers.

The royal family and the Divine Court of the Sun Kingdom are not to be trifled with. Don’t assume that the Divine Court’s power leans towards the divine. On the contrary, their relationship with the royal family is much closer than to the deity they worship. Generations of ’Great Envoys’ are clear-headed that the royal family can physically destroy them, while the god can only issue mild punishments.

After some deliberation, they decided: if the Sun God won’t give us divine power, we won’t believe in him. A war god who doesn’t help us in battles, what’s the use?

Then, the royal family and the Divine Court decided to change the deity they worship...

Never mind the bewildered, furious Sun God suffering a stroke; clearly, the newly chosen Goddess of Dawn is quite clear about what’s going on. It must be said, the gods in this world are a very peculiar ’life’, or perhaps they are high-dimensional beings, or some kind of consciousness?

No matter what the Sun God or the Goddess of Dawn really is, after the Sun Kingdom switched deities, there was a period of unrest. Fortunately, the country’s order was stable enough, and with the royal family’s and Divine Court’s promotion of how the Sun God failed to act and betrayed believers, the citizens gradually settled down.

As a result, the Sun Kingdom began worshipping the Goddess of Dawn. It’s not appropriate to casually change the country’s name, so they renamed the capital to City of Morning Light.

Aside from these two major nations, there is a medium-sized country and hundreds of small countries on Sea Blue Star.

Small countries can basically be disregarded. If Su Xiao’s guess is correct, people from Apocalypse Paradise are either in the Sun Kingdom or in the medium-sized country.

Given the current situation, Su Xiao doesn’t plan to deal with people from those two sides, or rather, he won’t even see Contract Holders from those sides in the short term.

It’s not the first time Su Xiao has fought in a World Struggle War. In the initial stage, he needs to understand this world and integrate into the forces he is in, using their power to search for the World Core.

Finding the World Core is crucial; everything else is just talk.

There are three steps to winning the war: one is finding the World Core; two is holding the World Core for a period of time; three is delivering the World Core to a designated location, where Reincarnation Paradise generates World Coordinates; the generation of coordinates marks the victory of the war.

Generating World Coordinates takes time, and it’s not a short period. During this time, the side holding the World Core is the defense side, while the other two sides are attackers. Contractor chaos is inevitable.

Before finding the World Core, Contractors must first explore this world. Without sufficient understanding of it, it’s impossible to find the World Core.

The initial stage, which is also the longest-lasting stage, is exploration. The moment any Contractor finds the World Core is when three-way warfare truly begins.

Thus, Su Xiao is not in a hurry. Before anyone finds the World Core, his task is exploration and gathering benefits. He is not adept at reconnaissance, so the mission of finding the World Core won’t fall on him.

As Su Xiao expected, Bubu Wang was once again assigned to the reconnaissance team, responsible for finding the World Core. In the last World Struggle War, Bubu Wang was undoubtedly the MVP. Not only did he find the World Core, but he also secured it.

This time, the situation is not optimistic. Bubu Wang was teleported to an icefield and mixed in with a pack of Icefield Wolves whose combat strength is exploding. As Bubu Wang put it: "Master, even though I look similar to those Icefield Wolves, I constantly feel uneasy. Waiting online, it’s quite urgent."

Upon receiving Bubu Wang’s message, Su Xiao couldn’t help but visualize the scene: on the icefield amidst the snowstorm, a pack of proud Icefield Wolves stand atop a snowy mountain, with one ’Siberian Husky’ among them, seemingly as calm as an old dog but internally frantic.

Su Xiao rubbed his forehead, unable to think more about it, as the vivid imagery was too strong.

While Bubu Wang’s side remains cheerful, A Mu’s situation is laughable. He was teleported to a farm, amidst a herd of cows...

Su Xiao didn’t continue imagining; the imagery of A Mu’s situation is equally strong. Fortunately, both Bubu Wang and A Mu have strong survival skills, and initially splitting up for exploration is an excellent choice to accelerate progress.

The most puzzling thing to Su Xiao is why he is in prison. Reincarnation Paradise has arranged his identity as a member of the Slaughter Troop, whose regular job is assassination behind enemy lines or sometimes spy work.

During war, the Slaughter Troop acts as ’rescue responders,’ deployed wherever the battlefront becomes critical.
