Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1069 - 1070: Perplexing

Captain Yan glanced at Feng Yuan and hesitated before he sighed lightly and said,

"If you don’t have any good solutions, don’t get involved in the border affairs. We haven’t fallen to the point where we need to sacrifice ordinary citizens to achieve victory."

Veronia looked at Captain Yan with some surprise. Wouldn’t Feng Yuan’s intervention be a good thing for them? Not to mention, if that guy didn’t care about the consequences and chose to simply ignore Nierlat and forcefully annihilate Xingchan, it wouldn’t be a problem at all. In fact, taking out Nierlat along the way seemed to not be a big issue either.

After all, Nierlat had seriously crossed the line this time, and both Agunas and Veronia didn’t believe those minor nations had the capability to obtain weapons that could destroy an entire border region. Modern cities’ defenses were not as strong as during the Dynasty Era.

Even with the old city defense systems, they could withstand attacks from Ultimate Moves of Legend Level Spirit Beasts or lower, especially the border cities. As for cities within the country like Maomu City, that might not be the case, but the minimum standard for border city defense systems is to withstand the onslaught of Legendary Level Spirit Beasts for five minutes.

Ordinary weapons hardly reached the power level of Legendary Level or higher. As for deploying Spirit Beasts? The Alliance strictly prohibited involving ordinary people in interstate wars. As long as no harm came to unrelated ordinary citizens, the Alliance wouldn’t interfere with your life-and-death fights. But if ordinary people were accidentally injured?

The Alliance would definitely send people to hunt you down. Furthermore, if a state did such a thing? The Alliance might even call on other countries to join in eradicating those who disregarded the lives of ordinary people.

Only by using special weapons could there be a possibility of justification, but even so, the Alliance would still impose severe punishments.

"What good does that do them?" Qi Xiaoshuang voiced her confusion. Whether intentional or not, if they created large-scale indiscriminate attacks that could threaten wild Spirit Beasts and unrelated ordinary people, the Alliance would certainly intervene, and they’d definitely not escape punishment from the Alliance. So why would they do such a thing?

"It disrupts Great Xia’s plans. After all, they’re currently restrained by Lorraine Tower and simply can’t act immediately. The longer the delay, the lower their chances of victory," Feng Yuan said offhandedly. Beside him, Guo Huai was somewhat puzzled and, after thinking for a moment, asked,

"Why is that? Aren’t they on guard during normal times?"

Glancing at Guo Huai, Feng Yuan said with some amusement,

"You’ve had peace for too long. You can’t expect all Sacred Beast Level Beastmasters to stay in Great Xia, can you? Even if you have a Sacred Beast Level Spirit Beast in the future, would you do that?"

"This..."

It was then that Guo Huai realized that this world was different from the previous one. In the previous world, even the most elite soldiers were part of a large peer group. They could take turns resting, and even if they left, others could fill their shoes. But it wasn’t the same in this world.

There just wouldn’t be that many Sacred Beast Level Beastmasters. Starting from the Legendary Level, each rank’s difference was like an Abyss. Although it wasn’t a complete crushing difference, the notion of outnumbering to win was almost impossible. Moreover, those Beastmasters couldn’t possibly stay within Great Xia’s borders at all times. Not to mention whether that would be boring, those extremely rare Spiritual Medicine and Materials wouldn’t grow legs and come to them.

As for asking others to help search? The environments where those Spirit Medicines and Materials effective against Sacred Beasts Level grew were none too simple, especially those dangerous territories. Besides those of Sacred Beast strength who could relatively safely enter and exit, those areas were certain death for Beastmasters below Sacred Beast Level.

"Currently, only about one-third of the Elders have returned to Great Xia,"

Captain Yan said with some helplessness. Although everyone was rushing back, as mentioned before, not every region had airships coming and going every day. Generally speaking, it’s not bad for each region to have one ship per month heading to the Divine Land Region. Sometimes, due to various reasons, those regional ships could be delayed. In serious cases, it wasn’t strange for a region to go half a year without a ship heading to the Divine Land Region.

Aside from Feng Yuan, who had the ability to ask Gitalien for help opening interregional Space Gates, others wanting to travel to different regions could only use high-speed air routes. Of course, illegal organizations would follow behind regional ships to hitch on the high-speed air routes as they appeared, but this method was dangerous. High-speed air routes didn’t always exist; shortly after the regional ship passed, the unnecessary part would disappear immediately.

Apart from that, there was the option of braving the Starlit Sea. As long as you had a Sacred Beast Level Spirit Beast, a forced crossing wasn’t absolutely impossible, yet the risks were extremely high, and many in illegal organizations who boldly ventured into the Starlit Sea while being pursued never returned.

Feng Yuan estimated that the people he had encountered earlier were probably planning to head to Omeilia first, taking advantage of the Alliance’s loophole, which was that besides the country where the incident occurred, other countries assisting in the capture wouldn’t be very serious, and planned to stealthily disguise themselves to use the regional ships of the Omeilia Region to leave.

However, Feng Yuan hadn’t expected that so few people would actually return, and he suspected that many might be in places where contact was impossible. The Great Xia side simply couldn’t reach them, and it was very possible that calling everyone back would take around a year.

"Are the others all out in the field? ...That’s troublesome."

Qi Xiaoshuang, who was next to him and seemingly lost in thought, casually spoke up, prompting Qi Chen to glance at her with some dissatisfaction and say,

"That has nothing to do with you, it’s not something for a little girl to worry about."

"It’s none of your business!"

Watching Qi Chen argue with Qi Xiaoshuang, Feng Yuan said with a bit of amusement,

"Actually, they should be contacting Great Xia from towns with communication facilities every once in a while, so the problem isn’t too big."

Hoping that they had some special communication methods was probably unlikely. However, Feng Yuan guessed that they should have the means to summon them in emergency situations, but the cost was too great and they wouldn’t use it unless it was an emergency. But if the opponent really did that kind of thing at the border, they would probably indeed need to use it.

"There’s no need for your help in this matter for now; you’ve already helped us enough."

Captain Yan said earnestly to Feng Yuan, indicating that if the opponent planned to strike hard at the entire border, it wouldn’t be trivial to deal with.

"What on earth... are they going crazy for?"

As he watched Captain Yan and his team leave, Feng Yuan sighed, not quite understanding why those countries would have any reason to go to such lengths. Did they think Great Xia was easy to bully, or was there some other reason?

"I don’t know, it’s not quite like a normal operation. Knowing that the loss is great, even far exceeding the benefit, they still insist on doing it, as if they were children throwing a tantrum?"

Veronia spoke with some confusion, bending down to pet a cat-type Spirit Beast passing by, which purred contentedly and flopped onto the ground, wagging its tail. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

"For now, we can only trust that they have the means to deal with it; we can’t really expect Little Crocodile to take the lead, can we?"

Feng Yuan glanced at Agunas, who was silent next to him with a sullen face. Agunas looked up at Feng Yuan, then lowered his head again, seemingly in deep thought. Veronia glanced at Agunas and said,

"Although its identity isn’t as sensitive as that of Lorraine Tower, letting this impulsive fellow defend there is bound to lead to trouble before long. Having a fight might actually not be such a bad idea..."

"Even if you win the battle, it wouldn’t be possible to occupy it for long, let alone think about rebuilding Mitradite."

Veronia started to speak, and Feng Yuan, knowing what she wanted to do, decisively interrupted, "That’s not for you to worry about." With an annoyed hum, Veronia walked off alone to play with some stray Spirit Beasts.

Watching these spirited and playful stray Spirit Beasts, everyone who had been feeling somewhat distressed because of the border issue gradually became joyful. Qi Xiaoshuang was the first to join in the fun with Xiao Bai, the White Shadow Wolf, teasing some dog-type Spirit Beasts. Guo Huai, although he didn’t say anything, had a smile on his face as he checked the bodies of those Spirit Beasts.

Without asking, Feng Yuan could guess that Guo Huai was probably comparing his observations with the system’s information. After all, if he wanted to formulate a new Potion, understanding the physical condition of those Spirit Beasts was essential—randomly mixing based on theory could result in poison or strange effects.

Just as Feng Yuan was about to step forward and ’bully’ those Spirit Beasts, a familiar voice rang in his ear.
