On one hand, the exploration team's mission completion rate was high enough. On the other hand, they also had external support, such as the Vasilyevich Family and Tianjing's Ma Dong.
Vasilyevich originally had a family exploration team in the Holy City, but after so many years, the strength of the exploration team had never improved. It had always been at the bottom of the level-4 exploration teams in the Holy City, and it was even struggling on the verge of being demoted. Even Vladimir, the official heir, had to join the Blue Ray Squadron to obtain more opportunities for development. One could imagine the situation. Vladimir had now joined the Wanderlust Team. As the Wanderlust Team did not have the support of any other forces in the Holy City, Vasilyevich also took a fancy to the potential of the Wanderlust Team. In addition to Vladimir's status in the Wanderlust Team, his family also strongly supported the Wanderlust Team. In addition to providing a certain amount of financial assistance, they also provided support from other aspects. For example, the current second team of the Wanderlust Team was mostly selected from the Holy Disciples team that Vasilyevich had once formed.
An entire level-4 exploration team had mobilized their elites for a small team of the Wanderlust Team. It was evident how much importance Vasilyevich attached to this team.
However, Ma Dong did not have such complex energy. All he could provide was money.
It had to be said that he was a business genius. He bought and sold things at a profit between the Federation and the Holy City. He relied on his amazing bones and courage, and because of Wang Zhong's connections, he obtained the exclusive low-level agency rights for Murphy's Alchemy Workshop on Earth as a citizen of the Federation. This made him rich overnight, and his wealth accumulated at an astonishing speed. In just a short span of two to three months, he had already opened a shop in the inner city of the Holy City, selling all kinds of special materials from Earth.
Although a shop was nothing, one had to know that if a citizen of the Federation wanted to open a shop in the inner city of the Holy City, one had to at least have the authority of a teacher. Even if Wang Zhong had the title of a teacher, it was just an empty title. Of course, it was all thanks to Great Master Murphy's help.
His career in the Holy City had been extremely smooth, and his popularity had gradually increased. Coupled with the rapid rise of his relationship with Vasilyevich and the Mo Family, his status in the Earth Federation had also changed three times in a day. He had just been officially appointed as the mayor of Tianjing City a month ago, but three days ago, he had been promoted once again. He was now the youngest official member of the Federation's parliament in history.
If it was the Ma Dong of the past, he would most likely be able to blow his own trumpet. However, the current him had already completely calmed down. Power needed to be controlled, and not enslaved.
"… I want to turn Tianjing into a great city, an international metropolis!"
After being elected as a member of the Tianjing Parliament, Ma Dong gave his first speech that was filled with emotion outside the Tianjing Parliament Hall.
The young man in a formal suit with a meticulous tie on the spectator stand was no longer the lively student he used to be. Instead, he was getting more and more dignified. His voice was sonorous and powerful. "The Empire and the Federation are one family. We are all humans! Although we were once isolated on both sides of the coast because of the changes on Earth, the dark era has long passed. We should restore communication. We have gone through trials and tribulations together and faced the same enemy. The difference in skin color should not be an obstacle to our racial integration. Our future … "
Thunderous applause rang out from below the stage for a long time. Many people from the Empire, who spoke broken Federation language, were mixed in the crowd and cheered loudly. They were the first batch of people to benefit from this policy. Be it the merchants from the Tutankhamun Desert or the Amazon, Tianjing had given them the opportunity to realize their dreams. Only people from the Empire who had truly integrated into the life of the Federation could truly feel the shallowness of the past and became even more eager for the great society that Ma Dong had built in his speech.
In the past, whether it was the Federation looking at the people from the Empire, or the people from the Empire looking at the people from the Federation, they always had their own colored glasses. The people from the Federation always felt that the people from the Empire were barbaric and primitive. They advocated violence and were extremely unhygienic. They were the kind that didn't even use toilet paper to go to the toilet. On the other hand, the people from the Empire always felt that the people from the Federation were white and fat people who lived like princes. Everyone was lazy and didn't think about improving themselves. However, in reality, these views were created out of thin air by the rulers' control over public opinion and the media. People had never personally experienced it or come into contact with it. Naturally, it was difficult to discern the truth of these words. As a result, the Empire and the Federation despised each other and did not interact with each other.
However, it was different now. With Tianjing as a pilot, more and more people interacted with each other. The impression and news that the Federation and the Empire had of each other was no longer just spread through the official media. The various colored glasses were gradually broken. The rich resources of the Federation and the primitive flavor of the Empire, as well as the various local specialties, had become targets of mutual attraction. The degree of mutual acceptance increased, and more and more people from the Empire moved into Tianjing City and New World City. Even the plans for a new branch had been settled. It would be a branch set up in the Amazon that had the full support of the Amazon Empire's government and the Federation Parliament …
Everything was developing in a good direction. The Federation and the Empire seemed to be slowly moving towards unification. However, amidst all this success, what was slightly strange was that the Kaiser Empire, which had always been in close contact with the Federation, had disappeared without a trace in this great wave of cooperation with the Federation …
No one believed that the Kaiser Empire, which had once pushed for trade with the Federation, would miss such a great opportunity, allowing the Amazon Empire and the Tutankhamun Empire to take the lead.
What were Caesar and Solomon doing?
… …
Jiaozhi Mountain Phoenix Divine Hall.
It was in a secluded forest, where seven or eight human warriors were hiding.
The one in the lead was Solomon. Unlike his usual elegance, he was wearing a military camouflage that was easy to conceal. His slender figure was unusually tall. He held a telescope in his hand and was observing the situation on the plains at the foot of the mountain in the distance.
The two armies were facing off against each other, and the sounds of battle shook the sky. In the sky, there were hundreds and thousands of large wyverns from the Octopus people and small human warships attacking each other. Meanwhile, on the plains beneath their feet, there was an intense battle between more than 100,000 people.
Compared to the small skirmishes in the North District, the Southern War Zone was already in full swing. The reinforcements from the Kaiser Empire and the 200,000 soldiers that Carolyn had borrowed from the 10 Great Families allowed the southern battlefield to have an abundance of low-level soldiers. The 10 new Great Teachers from the Holy Land had also joined the southern battlefield. There were at least two Great Teachers in a group. They split up and advanced in different directions. They wanted to use multiple battles to disperse the Octopus people's forces on the southern battlefield and tear apart the Octopus people's outer defenses.
The Phoenix Shrine on the Jiaozhi Mountain was the place where the battle was the most intense.
There were many Phoenix Shrines in the Mizobudapi World. The Jiaozhi Mountain was just one of the branches, but this was where the Octopus people believed in it. The Sword Faction, which was in charge of the shrine, had the same authority as the royal family. In some special situations, they could even surpass the royal authority.
This kind of place was naturally heavily guarded. It was also the most difficult place for the Octopus people at the frontlines. At present, the humans had already invested more than 100,000 soldiers in this small area, but the continuous and intense battle had already continued for three days. Corpses had piled up at the foot of the mountain, but there was still no victor.
The main reason was that the humans were still in a state of forbidding the use of space. Large-scale warships did not dare to cross the skies of the Mizobudapi World for now. They only relied on some small warships and could only fight to a draw with the Octopus people's aerial army. They could not display their superiority in the air. On the battlefield, the humans also had an advantage in terms of military strength. The 100,000 soldiers were at least three times the number of soldiers that were guarding the Phoenix Shrine on the Jiaozhi Mountain. However, the individual strength of the Octopus people at the Heroic Soul Stage was above that of humans at the same level. Furthermore, among the main forces of the humans on the battlefield, only about one-fifth of them were elites from the original Holy City Army. Most of the rest were the latest reinforcements from the 10 Great Families of the Federation. Compared to the Holy City Army, the soldiers of the Federation's families were obviously inferior. There was a mixture of good and bad soldiers. Thus, even though their numbers were three times that of the enemy, they could only maintain an undefeatable situation.
Both sides had the combat strength of a Great Teacher, but this level of combat strength was too precious. The death of one of them would definitely be a huge loss for either side. Thus, they were extremely cautious and did not choose to directly attack on the battlefield. Instead, they watched each other from the battlefield. It was as if the existence of a nuclear bomb was deterring the other party. If the battle was going smoothly, it would be simple. However, what they were afraid of was this kind of stalemate. They could only wait while the enemy did not move. If not, whoever attacked first would be in a disadvantageous situation where they would have to reveal their trump cards first. Then, the outcome of the battle would be decided very quickly.
Of course, both sides would definitely not completely focus on the battlefield. Over the past two days, both sides had been constantly making small movements. The Kaiser Corps that Solomon was in had received a mission. They were to take advantage of the most intense moment of the battle to launch a sneak attack on the Phoenix Shrine on the mountain and shake the morale of the Octopus people.
This kind of mission could not be completed by relying on a large number of people to attack. Solomon did not even bring the elite troops from the Kaiser Corps. He only brought the six Dandelions beside him. Including himself, there were a total of seven people. Soldiers valued quality over quantity. There were 10 Dandelions, but not all of them were skilled in combat. Furthermore, they had lost Grai, whom Solomon valued the most among the Dandelions. Although he was not the strongest seed among the Dandelions, his thoughts and views were the closest to Solomon's …
Thus, at that moment, the six people beside him were Solomon's true assets. He was determined to succeed in this mission.
"Boss, are we going to attack?" Xiao Wu could not wait any longer. It had been seven or eight hours since she had snuck into this place to ambush them. However, Solomon had not given the order to attack. It was simply suffocating her.
Without waiting for Solomon to reply, Kai, who was beside her, calmly glanced at her. Immediately, the little loli's restless heart obediently shrank back and shut her mouth.
After waiting for another half an hour, when they saw a new wave of reinforcements arriving at the battlefield below from the mountainside, Solomon put away the Night Vision Telescope. "Let's go!"
Without any nonsense, the party's goal from the beginning was already incomparably clear. The others didn't have the slightest hesitation, and Xiao Wu even spat out the almost tasteless chewing gum: "Damn, it's finally time for this lady to go on stage!"
A sneak attack was a technical job. Many people might mistakenly think that sneak attacks were concealment and sneaking up like thieves to do some small tricks, but in reality, that was not the case. A sneak attack was to catch the enemy off guard. It was not to be a thief and gain the upper hand with a show of strength. Using shock and surprise to create confusion in the other party's command and response was far better than putting in effort to do some small tricks.
Other than taking advantage of the geographical location to directly enter the mountainside of Jiaozhi Mountain, the seven of them had no intention of hiding their traces at all. They followed the wide sapphire stone steps in the middle of Jiaozhi Mountain and headed straight for the outer camp of the temple on the mountainside.
"Kill!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh …
With a series of air-piercing sounds, a silver-white light shot out from the seven-man team like a meteor.
Star Piercing Arrow!
It was a man with pointy ears. He was running at the back of the seven-man team. Although his skin was slightly pale, his facial features were impeccably perfect. He had a morbid and melancholic charm. He held a massive bow in his hand. Unlike the soul tools in the Holy Land, which often paid attention to aesthetics, this pitch-black bow did not have any flowing lights or vibrant colors. It looked simple and unadorned, but every time he pulled the bowstring to its fullest, the space around the bow would faintly distort, as if it resonated with the bending of the massive bow.
In front of them, the meteor was not aimed at the Octopus people. Instead, it was aimed at the lion camel carriages that were loaded with green energy blocks, which were waiting outside the gate of the camp. Those were the energy cannonballs from the Octopus people's jar cannons. At that moment, over ten Octopus people were busy loading and unloading the cannonballs. When they saw the sudden appearance of the enemy, before they could react, the flowing light had fiercely shot the energy cannonballs.
Although the cultivation level of the Octopus people was high, they lagged behind in terms of industry. The energy cannonballs were easy to explode, and the flowing light arrows had a very strong explosive effect. Over ten energy cannonballs instantly exploded outside the gate of the camp!
Boom boom boom boom!
Over ten Octopus people, who were loading and unloading the energy cannonballs, were blown into smithereens. Even the walls of the camp were sent flying. Large sections of the wooden walls were thrown high into the air before crashing into the camp. In an instant, the people in the camp were thrown off their feet. The mountains shook, and flames soared into the sky!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! "
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
Furious shouts and sharp alarms rose and fell in the camp. Meanwhile, the wizard towers nearby had immediately discovered the seven people who had invaded.
The wizard towers were similar to the archer towers used by humans during ancient wars. However, it was obvious that the Octopus great wizards guarding them had an attack power and range that far surpassed that of human archers. The three tall and sharp wizard towers nearby reacted extremely quickly. Almost immediately, they flashed with red and green lights. Elemental power gathered in an instant. Closely after, a series of fireballs or ice arrows shot wildly at the seven people.
Da da da da!
"Pointy ears! Cover me and Wolf Cub! " Xiao Wu shouted. Her figure flashed, and with a whoosh, she left the team and disappeared from her original spot. There was no change in Holmdi's expression, but he was extremely focused. He raised the massive bow in his hand, but he did not nock any arrows. Instead, his left hand quickly pulled the empty bowstring like lightning.
Teng teng teng teng …
His movements were extremely fast. Almost as soon as the bowstring left his hand and the bowstring started to vibrate for the first time, his hand had already nocked the bowstring again. Then, he pulled the bowstring to its fullest extent! The natural and clear sound of the bowstring being pulled could not be heard at all. Instead, there was a series of muffled sounds. The speed at which he pulled the bowstring was simply heaven-defying. They could not even see the movements of his left hand when he pulled the bowstring, but they could already hear countless sounds of the air being torn apart! No real arrows were shot, but countless invisible arrows filled the air.
The fireballs and ice arrows that filled the sky instantly exploded in mid-air. None of them missed their target, and only ice and fire fragments filled the sky.
"What … the hell?!" One of the Archmages in the Mage Tower was shocked, and his mouth was wide open. He had seen humans use this kind of bow and arrow on the battlefield. To be honest, they gave him the feeling that they were weak and lowly, just like a standard small fry soldier. However, the bow and arrow in the hands of this human in front of him had instantly disintegrated the combined attacks of the three Archmages in the three Mage Towers!
The Archmage did not understand, but he felt that it was amazing. However, he seemed to have seen the massive bow in the human's hands aiming at his Mage Tower.
"Dream on!" He felt threatened and was shocked and furious. The elemental spell formation under his feet instantly shone brightly. This was one of the benefits of the Mage Tower. The elemental spell formation set up in the Mage Tower could provide the Archmages with an endless supply of elemental power to ensure that they could fight for a long time.
A sparkling and transparent protective shield immediately appeared in front of the Mage Tower, protecting the entire Mage Tower. He did not believe that a lowly human with a primitive weapon could shatter his protective shield, which had been enhanced by the Mage Tower, with one arrow.
However, the arrow that he had been waiting for did not come. A laughing voice had already sounded in the Archmage's ears. "Have a safe journey. I won't send you off."
It was human language, and it seemed to be a female. The Archmage could not understand what she was saying, and he did not even have time to react. He could not imagine how the group of people who were dozens of meters away just now had already crossed that distance in the blink of an eye and rushed to his side in the Mage Tower that was more than ten meters tall.
Just as a chill rose from his back, the Great Daoist Master felt the world spin. His head flew up and rolled down.
However, the situation on the other two mage towers wasn't as elegant. Long before Xiao Wu cut off the Great Mage's head, the smell of blood had already pervaded the air. A youth covered in sharp, thick wolf hair had already thrown the second corpse, whose neck was crooked to one side and soaked in blood, down from the mage tower.
Werewolf bloodline! It was once known as the most tyrannical physical body on Earth. Regardless of physical speed, strength, or reaction, it was above all the other known bloodlines on Earth. The Bella Dean Family, one of the 10 Great Families of the Federation, had also once possessed the werewolf bloodline. However, that was only a pirated version. It had been plundered from the Stark Family, which was also one of the 10 Great Families of the Federation. The Bella Dean Family had inherited the former glory of the Stark Family, which was why they had their current status.
