Due to the Saints' interference, the battle drill that was supposed to last for three days only lasted for one day.
Later on, the academy gave the Year 1 students a three-day holiday. There were many changes in the curriculum for Year 2 and Year 3. More than 600 teachers were killed in the operation. Many of the classes had to be replaced by teachers from other classes.
While the school was recruiting new teachers, they were also dealing with the aftermath of the attack.
Two days later, the news that the Coalition government released almost blew up the entire Heart Network in Division7.
"On the 1st of October, the underground Saints disguised themselves as the heretics and attacked 3,000 new students in the Martial Arts Academy. They attempted to take the new students in the Martial Arts Academy as sacrifices. With the two elders, Yu Wenbin and Wu Fa leading the attack, a total of 102 people attacked the Mist Forest where the Martial Arts Academy's new students were doing their battle drill. With the Martial Arts Academy and the Hunters' Association working together, 100 Saints including Yu Wenbin were killed on the spot! "
"The Saints' shameless behavior is beyond what the Coalition government can tolerate. After many discussions between the Division7 branch chairman and the 12 chairmen, the following decision has been made. "
"The Coalition government of Division7 officially announces that from today onwards, we will officially declare war on the Saints! All Coalition organizations must send at least a third of their forces to cooperate with the Coalition government's operation! "
"Any organization that colludes with, works together with, or secretly helps the Saints will be seen as the Saints' ally and will be targeted by the Coalition!"
…
At the end of the announcement, the Coalition government posted pictures of all the dead bodies of the Saints. With Yu Wenbin as the leader, there were a total of 100 of them, including Wu Tian's burnt body that was taken from Yu Wenbin's ring.
Apart from Wu Tian and a few of the severely damaged bodies, each of the dead bodies was disguised as the heretics and compared to their real appearance after being cleaned up by the forensics team.
The Union Government's tough statement caused everyone to discuss among themselves.
Less than half an hour after the Coalition government released their statement, the Hunters' Association, the Adventurers' Association, and many other allied forces also released statements of support for the Coalition government's action.
The most unexpected thing was that after the Alliance released their statements, the heretics also released a video.
In the video, the heretics' presiding judge was still wearing a black robe and a scary white mask.
"Hello everyone, I'm the Chief Inquisitor of the Heretics. Many of you should have seen my video last year. As for those who haven't seen it before, feel free to search for it … "
"Boss, let's get down to business!" A voice suddenly came from the side.
"Oh, right! The main purpose of this video was to express his gratitude to the Coalition government and the other Coalition Forces. Thank you for investigating the matter thoroughly before releasing the notice, sparing us heretics an undeserved calamity. We, the heretics, strongly condemn this attack by the Saints! Attacking civilians was a shameful act. We, the heretics, would never do such a thing! "
"We, the heretics, have discussed about the Saints' disguise. Our branch in Division7 will share the information on the Saints that we've collected over the years with the Coalition government. If necessary, we'll assist the Coalition to kill the Saints! "
"Lastly, please allow me to make another advertisement. Dear friends, if you're interested in joining us, the heretics, you can call the number at the bottom right of the screen to sign up for our assessment … "
Even Lin Huang did not know whether to laugh or cry when he saw the heretics' video. "What kind of idiotic organization is this …"
Not only did the Coalition government and the Coalition Forces release their statements on the Heart Network, but the heretics' video was also being shared by the people.
Not only did it become the main topic of discussion among the Coalition Forces, but it was also a hot topic among the people.
One must know that the Coalition government in Division7 had not released a declaration of war for over 80 years!
As soon as the declaration of war was released, the underworld organizations were in an uproar.
Many of the underworld organizations watched from the sidelines, waiting to see the Saints make a fool out of themselves.
Even a few of the Coalition Forces of the Saints gave up on working with the Saints as they were afraid that they would be implicated.
All of the organizations knew that the Coalition government would not make a move. Once they did, there would definitely be a change in the world.
"The Saints are really digging their own grave this time!"
"The Saints' branch in Division7 is going to be destroyed. Over 200 years of operation is going to be destroyed …"
"The heretics are crazy. How dare they help the Coalition Forces?"
…
At the headquarters of the Saints in Division7.
Three men in white robes stood on the high platform where the Sacrificial Pillar was. There was a golden cross pattern on their foreheads that was glowing faintly. They were completely different from the rest of the people below the high platform.
The three of them were the messengers of the Saints in Division7.
The one standing in the middle was the first messenger. He was an old man with a white beard. He was tall and skinny. He was more than two meters tall and looked like a bamboo pole. His hawk-like eyes glanced at the group of people in white robes with silver cross patterns on their faces.
"Grand Elder, is there still no news about Wu Fa?" The first messenger did not speak but his voice echoed in the air like Thunder.
"Sir, there's still no news about him … I suspect that he might have been captured alive by the Hunters' Association." The Grand Elder was a hunchbacked old man.
"Great Elder, you don't have to protect that brat anymore. I reckon that brat failed his mission and even caused the death of my grandson. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to explain himself when he returned, so he fled." The Second Elder said in disdain. He was not much younger than the Grand Elder, but he still looked like he was in his prime. This was because the Grand Elder was severely injured many years ago and his Life Wheel was damaged.
"What about the other person who disappeared with Wu Fa? Did you find out who it is?" The first messenger ignored the Second Elder and continued to ask.
"Yes, it's Han Yu. There were six women who participated in the mission. The other five bodies were in the photos released by the Coalition government. She was the only one missing. The rest of the bodies that we can't identify are all men, "the Grand Elder replied.
"Get the black market to help Granny Wu. We have to find out where Wu Fa went. He knows too much." The first messenger gave his order.
"But Granny Wu's personality …" The Grand Elder looked troubled.
"It's up to you how to deal with her. I only want the results." The first messenger did not wait for the Grand Elder to finish his sentence.
"Yes …" The Grand Elder agreed. "How should we deal with the Coalition's encirclement?"
"How can we deal with it? Are you going to fight the Coalition government? " It was the second messenger who spoke. Like the first messenger, he did not open his mouth but his voice echoed in the hall. However, his voice was hoarse.
"Then …" The Grand Elder looked troubled.
"Evacuate all the core members. The Grand Elder will stay and take charge of the situation." The first messenger gave a solution without any expression. "You were the one who suggested this. You should be the one to bear the consequences of failure. Moreover, we also need someone with some weight to calm the anger of the Alliance. The True God will forgive your sins and protect you until you reach the True God Realm. "
Great Elder's face immediately turned ashen, as if he had lost his parents. He knew that he had been abandoned.
The Second Elder on the side had a sinister smile on his face. As long as the First Elder died, his position would advance one step further.
"I've thought about it. I'm afraid you alone are not enough to calm the Coalition government. You should choose another Elder to accompany you." The third messenger's voice was heard. The other two messengers nodded in agreement.
The other thirteen messengers looked troubled.
"Then I'll choose the Second Elder. This was actually his idea. I only suggested it to the messengers because I thought it was feasible." The Grand Elder smiled and gave his suggestion.
"Gongsun Hai! You're taking revenge on me! " The Second Elder, Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat. He shouted angrily, "If you want to die, then die. Why drag me down with you?!"
The Grand Elder did not even look at him. He was still smiling.
"The Grand Elder and the Second Elder together should be enough. It's decided." The first messenger's voice was heard again. He did not care about Lu Yuan's protest.
The Second Elder, Lu Yuan, was dumbfounded when he heard the final decision of the first messenger …
The rest of them looked at the Second Elder gloatingly.
"The rest of you, go back and get ready. We'll leave tomorrow morning." The first messenger's voice was heard again. "The Grand Elder, the Second Elder, I'll have to trouble you to stay and take charge. Also, contact Granny Wu as soon as possible. Remember to contact me as soon as there's any news … "
He walked to the two of them and patted their shoulders. Then, he led the rest out of the hall …
