Dongye Yu didn't panic when he received this news. Instead, he quickly assessed the situation and reacted accordingly.
Even he found it inconceivable that the other party would place the Lingyun Shuttle in the Underworld Path. However, he didn't doubt Ye Tianze's identity.
After all, Ye Tianze's identity had been confirmed by the Star population, so Dongye Yu had made a mistake in his judgment.
No matter how capable the Desolate Tribe was, they couldn't possibly get the help of the Star population. After all, the Star population looked down on the Mysterious Underworld Race. How could they look up to a group of people that even the Mysterious Underworld Race viewed as ants?
However, this matter reminded Dongye Yu that the Desolate Tribe wasn't as weak as he had imagined.
Thus, when Dongye Yu gave the order to attack, he immediately asked the alliance's intelligence department to compile all the information they had on the previous battle.
However, what surprised Dongye Yu was that the intelligence department had very little information on the Desolate Tribe. There wasn't even a brief report on the previous battle.
What they had obtained the most was information from Masakazu Tōno, who had experienced the previous two battles.
Dongye Yu's expression turned grave after he heard Masakazu Tōno's description of the two battles. Using Masakazu Tōno as the commander had been his oversight.
The gains and losses of the two battles had ultimately revealed a huge problem. The Mysterious Underworld Race had always lost because they had underestimated their enemy.
They had also lost to the Desolate Tribe when it came to the selection of commanders. Based on the course of the battle, even though Masakazu Tōno had covered up many of his mistakes, there were some that couldn't be covered up.
There were even some mistakes that, the more they were covered up, the more confusing their logic became. Masakazu Tōno's biggest mistake was that he didn't have enough ability, yet he held a high position!
He suddenly turned to Masakazu Tōno and asked, "Do you know why you are still alive?"
Masakazu Tōno swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Even though Masakazu Tōno was clearly an expert of his age, he did not dare to look Dongye Yu in the eye. Even though he summoned his courage and wanted to regain some of his psychological superiority, he was soon defeated as their gazes continued.
"This subordinate does not know." Masakazu Tōno said.
"Because you are his mouthpiece!" Dongye Yu said, "He wants you to bring me a message, and then let me make a choice."
"What choice?" Masakazu Tōno was puzzled.
"To kill or not to kill?" Dongye Yu asked.
Masakazu Tōno immediately prostrated himself on the ground, trembling. He didn't even dare to beg for mercy. The mistake he made was enough for him to die ten times over.
"I have two choices now. Killing you is naturally the best choice. Only then will I be able to convince the masses," Dongye Yu said.
Dongye Yu said, "But this is what he wants me to do. If I do as he wants, I will be led by the nose. However, I have no choice but to kill you. This is where I am in a dilemma because killing you is the best choice. This is also the most terrifying part!"
Masakazu Tōno didn't dare to say anything.
"Do you know why you lost?" Dongye Yu asked.
Masakazu Tōno raised his head, but he quickly lowered it again. He had never thought about this question. All he thought about was how to survive.
"You and your opponent are not on the same level," Dongye Yu said.
Dongye Yu said, "This is the biggest reason. Throughout the two battles, your opponent was faster and stronger than you in terms of decision-making speed and adaptability. What I can't accept the most is that so many outstanding warriors of the Mysterious Underworld Race actually died because of a stupid person like you. They shouldn't have died."
Higashino Shinwa's face immediately turned ashen. He sank into a deep sense of guilt. Previously, it was 1 million. Now, it was 500,000. He had sent 1.5 million elites to their deaths.
"Fortunately, the Mysterious Underworld Race can bear this loss."
This was the real reason why Dongye Yu wasn't panicking. Even if they were completely wiped out this time, the Mysterious Underworld Race could still bear this loss!
This debt was very simple. The opponents Masakazu Tōno had faced during the two battles had far exceeded the upper limit of his abilities.
In comparison to the Desolate Race, the Desolate Race and the Mysterious Underworld Race simply weren't on the same level.
The Mysterious Underworld Race could bear such losses hundreds of times because they had sufficient numbers. However, given the strength of the Mysterious Underworld Race, they could completely avoid such losses.
The Desolate Race was different. If the Desolate Race lost once, their vitality would be greatly damaged and they might even be exterminated.
"However, you have to die!"
Dongye Yu said. "You have to shoulder all the sins for the army to continue marching forward."
Masakazu Tōno suddenly relaxed when Dongye Yu announced his death sentence. He hadn't felt this relaxed since the first defeat.
He suddenly stood up and asked, "Commander, what do you need me to do?"
Dongye Yu smiled. He needed Masakazu Tōno's head to do a lot of things. "The Desolate Race Master? Then let's have a real contest. I want to see how long the Desolate Race can last against the Mysterious Underworld Race! "
Masakazu Tōno's death had served his purpose. All the sins had been pushed onto his head.
He had advanced prematurely due to his greed for merit, and he had retreated before the battle. Dongye Yu had also taken his head to the school of Legalism's camp, personally coming to ask for punishment.
The one who received him was the one star spell warrior from before.
"The Legalist School of Law doesn't care what the Mysterious Underworld Race wants to do. What the Legalist School of Law wants is order!"
The spell warrior said. "The Bedlam Lands should be under the control of the Legalist School of Law and the Primal Chaos Law. Such a chaotic region cannot be allowed to exist in the myriad realms!"
"The matter of the Star Race …" Dongye Yu lowered his head.
"Star population?" The spell warrior frowned. "The Legalist School of Law will temporarily suppress this matter for you. If the Bedlam Lands are taken, the Mysterious Underworld Race will have performed a meritorious service. If not, the Mysterious Underworld Race will have to shoulder this matter!"
"One year," Dongye Yu said.
Dongye Yu said, "Within a year, I will take down the Wilderness!"
Dongye Yu heaved a sigh of relief after receiving the Legalist School of Law's approval. At the very least, he didn't need to worry about the Star population.
In fact, Dongye Yu didn't know that this was the most crucial part of the mistake he'd made.
After Dongye Yu left, an old man appeared. The one star spell warrior cupped his hands and said, "What the Mysterious Underworld Race wants is the ancient blood. Are we really going to let them do as they please?"
"Before order is established, they won't be under the Legalist School of Law's jurisdiction!"
The old man said calmly, "What the Legalist School of Law wants is order. They just happen to be able to assist us in establishing order."
"Why haven't you made a move before? Why now?" the spell warrior asked curiously.
"The time isn't ripe yet, so we can't make a move. Now is the perfect time."
The old man said calmly, "I can faintly sense that there is a power in the Bedlam Lands that threatens the laws. It is currently restless. This is our true purpose for coming here!"
