"Tens of thousands of Martial Artists dead? And there’s significant heavy ion activity?"
"What on earth is Star Tower City battling against?"
Yino’s report left Diroya puzzled for a mont, wondering if Yino had gone to the wrong place.
As a frontline strategic town between Star Tower City and Chasing Light City, the military strength amassed at Ragewind Town is beyond doubt, not inferior to Fenglin Town.
But to think that such a Ragewind Town suffered the loss of tens of thousands of Martial Artists and even used heavy ion bombs, ending up with the town being lost — who would believe that?
Even if Chasing Light City attacked Ragewind Town with all its might, it wouldn’t necessarily be able to take it down. It was utterly unbelievable that any force could have annihilated Ragewind Town.
"We found no people or creatures from outside Star Tower City," Yino explained hesitantly. "Based on our preliminary investigation in Ragewind Town, the people from Star Tower City likely withdrew voluntarily from Ragewind Town. Not only was everything in the town cleared out, but no corpses of Apprentices or Quasi-Martial Artists were found."
"Are you saying that there’s a force capable of heavily damaging Star Tower City without losing a single soldier, compelling it to voluntarily retreat?" Diroya regarded Yino’s hesitation, his expression growing increasingly grave.
An unexpected force erging that even Star Tower City chooses to retreat from is bad news for Chasing Light City.
If they could heavily damage Star Tower City, they could naturally do the sa to Chasing Light City.
If they accidentally provoked this force, it would be a complete disaster.
"Did we gather any intelligence from Star Tower City?" The tall young man with one eye and one arm sitting next to Diroya suddenly asked.
As the tall one-eyed, one-ard youth spoke, Yino dared not delay and promptly replied, "So far, we have not obtained any useful information from Star Tower City. All we know is that Star Tower City has ordered all personnel at the frontline to retreat. Our intelligence personnel have already headed to Star Tower City, and I believe we’ll soon know the related news."
The one-eyed youth before them was a distinguished guest invited by City Lord Diroya from Domain City. Despite being from the One-Eyed Race and being relatively small at just two ters tall with only one remaining arm, he is a super genius whose ability rivals the Blood Coagulation Realm. Even in Domain City, no one dared to neglect him.
"Fan Sen, have you got any information on this matter?" Diroya inquired curiously of the one-eyed, one-ard youth.
Fan Sen, as one of the top twenty contestants in the Four Domains Youth Competition organized by Domain City, even though he’s only in the Bone Forging Realm, his actual strength is no less than Diroya’s. His status in Domain City is quite high, and the secret information he can access far surpasses that of a City Lord like Diroya.
The one-eyed, one-ard Fan Sen shook his head, "I don’t have any information on this either. That’s why I wanted to ask who on earth could heavily damage Star Tower City."
"Even you don’t know who did it, Fan Sen?" On hearing this, Diroya’s expression beca even more grave.
In this era, the most terrifying thing in the Mist Mountain Region is not the three untouchable entities but those formidable forces whose nas are utterly unfamiliar.
The three untouchable entities are undoubtedly recognized as powerful, but each follows its clear set of rules. As long as those rules are not violated, there’s nothing to fear.
However, with unknown forces, you have no idea what their rules might be. Accidentally crossing their line might inexplicably get you an unyielding enemy, leading to wrongful disaster.
Especially soone like him, at the Blood Coagulation Realm Initial Tier Martial Artist, who, in the eyes of others, is a City Lord, a prominent figure throughout the Mist Mountain Region.
Yet, only he knows that, although the Blood Coagulation Realm is indeed a formidable force in the Mist Mountain Region, there are plenty of masters at this level, many of whom remain unknown.
As for forces organized by Blood Coagulation Realm masters, they outnumber the cities in the Mist Mountain Region many tis over. The differing agendas of these forces are the only reason he beca a City Lord. Were it purely about seniority, he’d never have beco a City Lord.
That’s also why cities vehently cultivate talent, especially geniuses sent to Domain City for developnt.
The geniuses reaching Domain City are connections and resources in themselves.
Even if they might not beco Blood Coagulation Realm masters, their re return to the city would serve as a guarantee. After all, these contemporaries inevitably et so geniuses who ascend to the Blood Coagulation Realm and, at that point, they can establish connections with these Blood Coagulation Realm entities.
If the sent geniuses advance to the Blood Coagulation Realm, it’s akin to hitting the jackpot.
Firstly, geniuses who advance to the Blood Coagulation Realm at Domain City absolutely would not return to beco a City Lord. These individuals pursue loftier ambitions. Given the nurturing from their hotown cities, they hold a certain bond, and in tis of city crisis, would indeed not turn a blind eye. Consequently, a city might have two Blood Coagulation Realm masters safeguarding it, which forms a city’s greatest foundation, more beneficial than any weapon or resource.
Unfortunately, despite leading Chasing Light City for many years and even expending his resources to train talent, none of the talents sent had advanced to the Blood Coagulation Realm.
In contrast, talents like Fan Sen, in whom he originally invested, have achieved great success in Domain City, possessing a position higher than most in the Blood Coagulation Realm.
