Chapter 1429: Chapter 51: Fate, Beyond Words

Bubu Wang trotted over from afar, with only three icefield wolves remaining behind it. One of them likely died in Ambela City or on the retreat.

The small assistant on the back of the Scar Eye Icefield Wolf looked pale. Although not in great condition, she still had combat power.

Seeing Su Xiao in front of the grave, Bubu Wang ran over quickly.

Su Xiao put away the Fate Redemption, a few metal fragments slipped from his fingertips, and an additional word appeared on the Fate Redemption: Ba.

Currently, there are ten words inscribed on the Fate Redemption, which are:

Si (representing the first ghoul in the history of the Ghoul world).

Chi (Red Eye from the World of Crimson).

An (Dark King Minas from the First Trial World).

Chou (Violator from the Hunter World, Red Clown).

Shan (Hero King Golden Flash from the Holy Grail World).

Xi (Enemy Leader Xi from the War World).

Fang (One-Way Street from the Forbidden World of Magic).

Qian (First Hokage, Hashirama Senju).

Jia (Spirit of Armor in Xiya World)

Ba (Four-tier War World, Woodcutter Buck)

...

What word Su Xiao would inscribe on the Fate Redemption depends firstly on the opponent’s strength and intelligence, and secondly on his mood.

Bubu Wang looked puzzled when it saw the new grave beside Su Xiao. As far as it knew, Su Xiao seemed not to have the habit of burying enemies. Wouldn’t they usually be thrown into a river for a water burial (feeding the fish) in this kind of terrain with a stream?

Su Xiao noticed Bubu Wang’s puzzled look. He buried Buck not because he was a respectable opponent, but because he felt Buck was very persistent, especially with the two short axes he held. As Du Bo Yi Si’s guard, wouldn’t he be able to acquire luxurious clothing? Or fine cigars?

Buck wasn’t unable to acquire them, he simply didn’t care for others’ opinions. To him, clothes just needed to cover one’s body, and cigars just needed to be smokeable. What he cared about was the kind of opponents he faced and the means to defeat them. Such a person, if brought into Reincarnation Paradise, would undoubtedly be a formidable figure.

The small assistant also saw Buck’s grave. When she saw the short axes in front of it, she subconsciously shivered. So far, she feared three people the most.

Firstly, when her leader lowered his eyes, which meant she was in trouble. Secondly, when Su Xiao looked at her expressionlessly — the last time this happened, she almost died. Thirdly, when Buck bared his steel teeth at her in a small alley, which confirmed through eye contact that he intended to chop her into pieces.

"Sir, what do we do next? Continue with the enemy rear destruction?"

The small assistant was somewhat excited. This operation successfully assassinated the Divine Envoy, Du Bo Yi Si, who was equivalent to a mid-high-ranking officer.

"Return."

Su Xiao wouldn’t stay in the territory of the Sun Kingdom for long. Here, he was surrounded by enemies, and it was also the domain of the Holy Sanctuary Paradise Contractors. The fortunate thing this time was not encountering any contractors from the Holy Sanctuary Paradise during the mission.

In reality, the contractors from the Holy Sanctuary Paradise had no interest in bothering Su Xiao. The situation was becoming increasingly dire within the high ranks of the Sun Kingdom military. The newly appointed Great Envoy, meant to be a figurehead, was already gone by the afternoon of the appointment.

The contractors from the Holy Sanctuary Paradise were well aware of the internal issues within the Sun Kingdom but felt powerless to solve them. Finding that hidden ’nail’ wasn’t something that could be accomplished in a short time.

Qing Ye, the leader of the Arakawa Adventure Group, is a ruthless character. Since entering the War World, he neither took part in battles nor reunited with his adventure group members. Instead, he continuously stirred trouble within the military hierarchy of the Sun Kingdom, driving the Holy Sanctuary Paradise faction to the brink of collapse.

The information provided to the Holy Sanctuary Paradise by the Apocalypse Paradise faction was: ’The people from Reincarnation Paradise are all brutes and lunatics.’

However, the contractors from the Apocalypse Paradise were unaware that Reincarnation Paradise was not only filled with lunatics and brutes, but also with cunning individuals. With Qing Ye’s modus operandi, he definitely wouldn’t stop until the military hierarchy of the Sun Kingdom was in ruins.

...

Sun Kingdom, border, original site of Saint Limen Fortress.

When Su Xiao reached there, he discovered that the border war had already ceased. After he blew up the Saint Limen Fortress, the Geya Alliance army flooded in directly. Without the rear fortress’s artillery support, that concrete trench was nothing but a grave.

The disparity in troop numbers and the imbalance in firepower, combined with the tank division’s charge, led to the conclusion of the border war an hour after the Saint Limen Fortress’ collapse. The troops stationed there by the Sun Kingdom were completely annihilated.

The loss of the border fortress was akin to tearing open a breach on the map of the Sun Kingdom. The Geya Alliance forces marched straight in, invading the Sun Kingdom territory.

What was even more despairing for the Sun Kingdom high command was that the Geya Alliance had already constructed a temporary fortress on the ruins of the Saint Limen Fortress. Once completed, the Geya Alliance’s supplies would no longer be an issue, and the Saint Limen Fortress would turn into the enemy’s garrison. Geographically, the Sun Kingdom would find it difficult to retake the Saint Limen Fortress.

With the war reaching this stage, there was not much suspense left. Unless the Geya Alliance encountered internal problems, it was only a matter of time before they crushed the Sun Kingdom.

While the Geya Alliance and the Sun Kingdom waged fierce battles, the surrounding small nations played indifferent roles. However, one mid-sized country did have some sway. This country, named West Sisbane, did not have the economic prosperity of the Geya Alliance nor the abundant resources of the Sun Kingdom. Its land was vast, yet its population issues were always present, with severe gender imbalances.

West Sisbane was once a major power but learned the hardships of a war-torn state after confronting the Geya Alliance. Wars required men, and losses led to significant casualties among male soldiers.

Despite years of recuperation, the gender ratio problem in West Sisbane remained severe, reaching a ratio of 15 women to 1 man.

What further plunged the Prime Minister’s Office of West Sisbane into despair was the deeply rooted tradition of monogamy, ingrained in the blood of every West Sisbane native. Though the government attempted to legislate for polygamy multiple times, it was forced to relent after being besieged by enraged citizens outside the Prime Minister’s Office.

In this nation, love was sacred, and marriage came in three types. A one-year marriage, after which the couple would automatically divorce, required a fee of 1.5 million West Sisbane ls, roughly equivalent to 1.1 million RMB. A ten-year marriage required 120,000 West Sisbane ls, while a lifetime marriage necessitated a nominal sum of 0.6 West Sisbane ls (for paper costs).

To date, the Geya Alliance was uninterested in invading West Sisbane, as doing so would be akin to cruelly destroying flowers without any financial return, unable to recoup the costs of war.

The Apocalypse Paradise faction was within West Sisbane’s borders, much to their contractors’ delight. They didn’t need to engage in the hot weapon warfare; everywhere they went on the streets, there were girls in sight.

However, at noon today, contractors from the Apocalypse Paradise discovered something within West Sisbane’s territory — the World Core!

This object, fought over by both Reincarnation Paradise and Holy Sanctuary Paradise, was unexpectedly found by Apocalypse Paradise with ease. Such a serendipitous fate is beyond words.
