The Black Dragon King Ants were everywhere. They occupied a mountain range, but as the Mirage Sea Dragon King Ant Mother died, they kept splitting up. The overwhelming aura they had gathered together scattered into the ocean, sticking close to the boundary between the land and the ocean. They either returned to the bottom of the ocean or occupied a certain part of the ocean.
Their previous unity and coordination originated from the fact that they only obeyed the command of the mother ant. Now that the mother ant was dead, they were falling apart dozens of times faster than most of the sea demons!
…
Following the underwater river, Mofan and the others returned to the Bohai Sea. Those transparent Dragon King Ants seemed to have received the message that their queen had passed away. They were retreating from the Bohai Sea on a large scale. The surface of the Bohai Sea was much clearer and bluer than before.
Victory was a victory, but other than the smile on his face after killing the Mirage Sea Dragon King's queen ant, there was not much emotion on his face.
That was how war was. Victory was not necessarily a joyous occasion, because everyone who survived had witnessed the sacrifice of their comrades.
In order to eliminate the termite guards of the Mirage Sea Dragon King Mother Ant, none of the subordinates that General Hua had brought with him had returned alive. How could that be considered a victory? It was like exchanging every life for a chance of survival.
After arriving at the Bohai Sea, General Hua stayed alone on the Copper Bell Mountain for a long time. Pang Lai was using a simple method to record the names of the Royal Mages that had yet to return.
Mo Fan, Song Feiyao, and Jiang Yu stood at the back, waiting for the two leaders to mourn for the deceased.
Song Feiyao's face was filled with shame.
After this experience, she truly understood that Sunset Island's selfish peace wasn't because of the divine power of those special statues. In front of creatures like the Clam Sea Dragon King and the Mother Ant, the divine power of the statues couldn't even withstand a single blow. It was completely because someone in this country stood out and used their flesh and blood to block the most violent storm!
"Mofan," Chief Hua called out.
Mofan walked up and saw that Military Chief Hua seemed to have recovered a little. His mental state was also much better than before.
Mofan was a little surprised. Wasn't the Healing Scroll supposed to be useless against a Forbidden Mage like General Hua? Why did he seem to be recovering rapidly?
"We seem to be meeting more and more frequently," Chief Hua said.
"What do you mean?" Mofan didn't quite understand what Hua Jun was trying to say.
Military Head Hua smiled faintly and said, "I'm in this position. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's lonely at the top. From my height, I can see a lot of people on the mountainside, a lot of people at the foot of the mountain, and even more people in the valley. They're covered by the clouds, so I don't even have the chance to see them."
"Uh … I also hope that there will be a day when I can say something like that," Mofan said.
"I do occasionally pay attention to people with great potential, from Mages who have just Awakened to geniuses who have already achieved the Super Level at a young age. To be honest, I thought it would take you another five years before we can have a conversation like this. Meanwhile, the people that I have high hopes for are only in the early stage of the Super Level, and are gradually disappearing from my sight … "Chief Hua said.
Mofan had mixed feelings after hearing the words. How should he describe them?
To round it off, Chief Hua was praising him.
A person's strength determined the level they were in contact with.
The first time they met was on Qinhuang Island. It was an accident, as Zhang Xiaohou's sharp senses had caught Chief Hua's attention.
Even though Chief Hua was the one who had given Mofan the ticket to the national team, it did not necessarily mean Mofan could reach the level of a Forbidden Mage like Chief Hua so quickly …
It was the third time they had met, and the time was still decreasing.
General Hua did not expect Mo Fan to be able to 'help' him in the first place. General Hua had assumed it would take Mo Fan at least five years before he could 'help' him.
However, in just a few months, Mofan had helped him twice, and both times were crucial!
Chief Hua was surprised by Mo Fan's rapid growth, as he had seen plenty of geniuses in the past.
"Chief Hua, feel free to tell me what you need," Mofan said.
Principal Zhu had told every student who was about to Awaken their Magic on the first day they enrolled in the Magic High School.
When he entered the Pearl Institute, Dean Xiao had told every student that money and fame were not important. The supreme magic was what every Magician should pursue.
Most importantly, after going through so much, Mofan knew better than anyone that the peace he had when he was still weak, and the reason he was able to survive until now and become a Super Mage was because someone stronger than him had stopped the tide of beasts. He could not back down when it was time to step forward!
"Then can you promise me one thing?" Chief Hua asked sternly.
Mofan nodded without hesitation.
He was willing to do anything that was too difficult.
Chief Hua's first request was extremely important.
It might be about the survival of the East Shoreline, the rise and fall of an Emperor, or the key to the upcoming war against the sea monsters …
General Hua reached out his hand and patted Mo Fan on the shoulder, "I hope you can promise me that no matter how intense the battle is, no matter how desperate it is, you won't act on impulse. You have to survive."
Mo Fan was stunned after hearing this.
Survive??
Was this what General Hua wanted to tell him in such a serious manner?
Why??
"Chief Hua, I've always been good at that," Mofan said after a slight ponder.
"No, you don't understand what I mean," Chief Hua's eyes sharpened. He even applied more force on Mofan's shoulder.
"I want you to survive because this war doesn't belong to your generation. We are going to lose, and it's very likely that we will lose. When the time comes, I hope that my generation will be the ones that will die, not your generation. We failed to protect this era, and the calamity is because my generation and mine aren't strong enough. How could I let you and your generation bear the responsibility? "
"The reason you've come into contact with me now is because you've surpassed the people of this generation by far, far too much. Your path is still incomparably vast, and you can become even stronger. I hope that five years from now, you'll be able to celebrate the victory with your teammates when you're in my position, instead of relying on them to pave a bloody path with their lives, just to get a little bit of hope. "
Mo Fan was so shocked that he was left speechless!
Mofan felt like Chief Hua was a god when he saw him killing the Sea Dragon King and the Mother Ant. Why would such a powerful man say something like 'I'm not strong enough'!?
"Five years, in these five years, I need you to stop participating in any war against the sea monsters."
"We'll lose in these five years."
"We'll lose our Headquarter City. Our defense line will collapse completely. We'll all be driven to the cold west. We'll lose a lot."
"By then, I hope you and your generation can protect the city well. You can set up a safe zone so that the next generation can live in peace."
"You can even help us reclaim the land on the East Coast that the sea monsters have taken over!"
