Three days later.

The news of the Baoxue Empire’s downfall spread throughout the entire Blue Star.

Accompanying it was the news of the Desperate Great Wall’s fall and the invasion of the mysterious races of the heavens...

It couldn’t be concealed at all.

The Great Xia Empire and the Land of Light immediately began conscription, and the elite soldiers previously used to guard against the Land of Light and the Baoxue Empire were swiftly transferred to the borders... to defend against the invasion of the mysterious races of the heavens.

Such a large mobilization, how could it be hidden?

And the elders who learned that the barriers had been broken, each wore a worried face, sighing all day long.

Some of them, having lived a long life, had once witnessed the difficulties of Blue Star...

Back then, Blue Star was completely defenseless against the mysterious races of the heavens, they came and went as they pleased.

To drive these rampant mysterious races out, no one knows how great of a price was paid during those dark years...

Some of the veterans who could hardly stand steadily, but participated in Blue Star’s defense war back in the day, took out their weapons at home and silently sharpened their knives.

If the enemies really came.

They couldn’t run anymore, all they could do was crush their last tooth and tear the enemy to pieces, not hoping for gain, just to break even by killing one.

There were also the fearful ones who, after hearing the news, became restless day and night, ultimately unable to bear the psychological torment...

With war nowhere near, they couldn’t suppress their inner fear and directly hanged themselves.

War hasn’t come yet.

The whole of Blue Star, the Land of Light, and the Great Xia Empire were in chaos...

For a time, panic reigned.

Even Han Xu Yang couldn’t help but become greatly alarmed.

Others were just spreading rumors, but Han Xu Yang had access to the real documents and information.

Perhaps only he truly understood how dark those years were... how much sacrifice humanity paid to successfully drive the enemies out of Blue Star,

and successfully establish these three fortresses, guarding all the Star Rings.

But now...

Because of Baoxue Empire’s self-destructive actions.

Could it be that after a century of stability on Blue Star, it has to return to those dark, lightless conditions?

He had begun to consider pulling some reinforcements from the Polar Star Battlefield, since the warriors left behind, while not lacking combat experience, might not be as experienced in handling the mysterious races of the heavens as the soldiers of the Nine Major Military Regions at the Polar Star Battlefield.

Unfortunately, this thought was stopped by Xu Lingjun, who hurried back...

The fall of the Desperate Great Wall, surely the focus of the Great Xia Empire would be on defending against the enemies behind them, likely leaving the defense of the Polar Star Battlefield unprecedentedly weak.

The mysterious races of the heavens do not refer to a specific race, but to all civilizations with ill intentions toward Blue Star.

With the fall of the Desperate Great Wall, the Polar Star Battlefield might also face extremely difficult challenges.

Fortunately, the previous expansion of the Polar Star Battlefield had almost encompassed the entire Star Ring within its territory, and with the enemy losing their foothold, invading Blue Star became considerably harder than before. As long as it’s dealt with cautiously, the likelihood of problems isn’t high.

But trying to mobilize troops from the Polar Star Battlefield would merely be like robbing Peter to pay Paul, rendering it completely pointless.

Han Xu Yang is extremely shrewd, but he doesn’t quite understand battlefield matters...

But fortunately, he’s skilled at knowing when to delegate, avoiding doing things like ordering professionals what to do.

And seeing Xu Lingjun at such a critical moment.

Han Xu Yang had somewhat of a feeling of seeing a savior.

He said with joy, "Lingjun, you finally returned, quickly, tell me about the situation, I can’t get in touch with the small towns, after the Baoxue Empire was destroyed, I immediately deployed troops to the border, but I don’t know what kind of danger lies on the opposite side..."

He sighed, "Now the entire Great Xia Empire is in chaos, once the war starts, all sorts of demons and monsters will reveal themselves. In the past few days, I’ve already dealt with more than two hundred incidents of cult manipulations, arson, looting, and vandalism, yet the public remained panicked, so I had to bring you out to stabilize the situation."

Xu Lingjun said in surprise, "I have that function?"

"Don’t forget, you are the great hero who destroyed the Chi Yu mysterious clan, surely you know about the grievances and grudges between the Chi Yu clan and us over the years?"

It was evident, that after Xu Lingjun’s return, Han Xu Yang’s mood improved considerably.

This extended to being much more talkative in front of Xu Lingjun, he laughed, "To those people, Commander in Chief Xu, you are the nemesis of the mysterious races of the heavens, in fact, I do indeed have this notion, previously I wanted you to guard the Nine Major Military Regions, but now it seems, I’m afraid..."

As he said this, Han Xu Yang felt slightly embarrassed.

The former Qisha Military District, now the Western Realm crisis.

He has always sent Xu Lingjun to the most perilous spots... Xu Lingjun didn’t say anything, yet he felt a bit embarrassed himself.

Xu Lingjun nodded and said, "That sounds reasonable, concerning the situation, no one might understand the Western Realm’s circumstances better than me."

"How is the situation? Although I’ve received intel, it always feels not quite as direct..."

"Don’t worry, Your Majesty, it’s far better than you imagined."

Xu Lingjun said, "Regarding the mysterious races of the heavens’ invasion, the first wave of the advance troops indeed were the most elite forces, though there seems to be a suspicion of inside cooperation, being able to take out half of the Desperate Great Wall’s military in just a day shows their prowess, it’s a pity they miscalculated one thing."

He sneered, "The nuclear bombs of the Baoxue Empire were not actually under their control. With this explosion, though the Baoxue Empire vanished without a trace, it also simultaneously sent off at least tens of millions of the vanguard elite with it, which delivered a hefty blow to them. While it may not stop their tentacles, it did buy us the crucial time we needed."
