Chapter 1526: New Moon Land War

......

Wanxiang City.

The usual Wanxiang City was always peaceful and calm. However, since some time ago, Wanxiang City’s security became extremely strict. Almost every person entering the city would be carefully checked.

Other than that, the two roads connecting New Moon Land to the outside, Eastern Wild Forest Road and Cloud Gate, had already forbidden non-New Moon Land members from entering.

In other words, New Moon Land was currently in a completely blockaded state.

Cloud Gate and Eastern Wild Forest Road had one stronghold city respectively. The cities were built when New Moon Land began interacting with the outside world. Currently, Cloud Gate Stronghold and Eastern Wild Forest Stronghold were two famous Border Cities amongst the neighbouring borders.

Between Wanxiang City and these two stronghold cities, batches after batches of troops were running along the roads. They either ran on land or flew in the sky. One could always see a large soul pet army passing by.

Currently, New Moon Land deployed most of their fighting forces in Eastern Wild Forest Stronghold and Cloud Gate Stronghold, because it would not be long before those two places become the worst battlefields.

Not only Wanxiang City, the entire New Moon Land were deploying manpower rapidly over various places. They were sending as many of their fighting forces as possible to the border areas.

New Moon Land’s geography was unique. There were only four places that connected to the outside world.

One was Windy Rain City at Dark Sky Ocean Coast; One was the Western most White Nightmare City, the last two were Northeastern Heavenly Mountain Stronghold and Eastern Wild Forest Stronghold. The other regions were Forbidden Regions. If the New Moon Land subjugation army wanted to invade New Moon Land from places other than these four locations, they would have to cross the territories of those Empires and Dynasties in the Forbidden Regions. If they were unlucky, they would be annihilated before entering New Moon Land.

Hence, if New Moon Land really entered a war with other factions, what they had to do was to defend these four crucial city checkpoints.

In geography, New Moon Land possessed the perfect defensive advantage. However, nobody would feel glad about it, because they would be facing possibly the allied forces of eight major factions as well as some other minor factions. The scale of this subjugation force had never happened within the recent hundred years!

The current Cloud Realm could be described as an army camp. More and more factions deployed their armies to this place.

These armies did not swarm here in a large wave at once. They slowly gathered at Cloud Realm after the Dual Earth Conference ended. They would camp at Cloud Realm and slowly accumulate. Currently, the size had accumulated to the point they could be seen anywhere inside or outside cities within Cloud Realm!

Liu Binglan naturally sent people to investigate in Cloud Realm and made estimations on the constantly accumulating army. When she obtained the data of the armies from the various factions and knew that this data was still increasing, she felt helpless.

There were too many enemies!

The greedy wolves desiring New Moon Land were even more than Liu Binglan’s estimation. Even some of the friendly factions also joined this greedy gang.

This was disaster stacking upon disaster.

Of course, what made Liu Binglan felt most insecure was that Chu Mu still did not return.

Chu Mu had not returned to Wanxiang City for a long time. Usually, he would go out to train for a year and half, there were also times he went out for a few years. However, New Moon Land was currently in a very dangerous period. If Chu Mu did not return, Liu Binglan would just feel insecure.

“How many had been gathered now?” asked Cloud Gate Elder with a frown.

“Dominator army probably passed 12,000, Emperor army is over 20,000,” said Liu Binglan.

Every time she recalled this data, she felt a suffocating pressure!

12,000 Dominator rank experts. Just how big of a concept this was to New Moon Land in the past? Back then, there were only a few Dominator rank in New Moon Land.

Only a short time had passed, and New Moon Land had to face 12,000 Dominators. There was also a 20,000 Emperor army!

The 12,000 Dominator rank experts had 10,000 from the six major factions. Divine Sect’s Disciple Palace had a 1,500 men Discipline Palace army; Elemental Clan Fire Sect and Wind Sect had a 3,000 men Elemental Dominator army; Demon Beast Palace’s Snake Dragon Sect sent a 1,000 men Snake Dragon army; Departed Spirit Palace had a 1,500 men Ghoul army; Mu Family Dynasty Mu Tuan clan sent around 2,000; Xuan Gate Immortal School’s Gu Xinshui and Sect Master Lü sent 1,000 Xuan Gate experts.

Amongst the eight major factions, Ning Family Dynasty and Wupan Navy would definitely attack New Moon Land from Dark Sky Ocean or White Nightmare City. They had not been able to scout how much force those two factions sent yet.

In other words, just Dominators would exceed 15,000. As for the even larger Emperor army, Liu Binglan did not dare to continue thinking.

Those were just the strength of the armies. There were also Immortal rank commanders above the armies. Each faction’s commanders were almost all Gate Master rank experts qualified to participate in Dual Earth Conference. Beneath these Gate Masters usually had twenty to forty Immortal rank subordinates.

When Liu Binglan gathered all Immortal rank fighting forces in New Moon Land, she noticed that New Moon Land could hardly match the allied force of various major factions on Immortal rank fighting force.

Without a doubt, this would be a devastating war, and an even greater disaster.

For the past few days, Liu Binglan was unable to sleep. Under the pressure of this 15,000 strong Dominator army and over 20,000 strong Emperor army, she wanted to give up on New Moon Land many times. She wanted to tell New Moon Land citizens to escape because she could not face the scene of New Moon Land dyed in blood.

However, some things could not be decided by Liu Binglan alone.

All territory lords in New Moon Land clearly indicated that they were going to fight on!

Regardless of the outcome, New Moon Land had to fight. If they did not display the courage of New Moon Land, then New Moon Land would really become a lowly coward race which could be toyed with by others!

Once New Moon Land’s people were branded with such a sigil, no matter where they migrated to, they would be endlessly bullied and humiliated after losing their resources.

Nobody was willing to live a refugee life or live under the roof of others and getting despised by those humans who thought they had a higher rank bloodline. By then, a bloody conflict would similarly break out. Rather than fighting with a refugee or exiled identity, they would rather fight to their hearts’ content right now. Even if they lost, they would let those greedy wolves know the power of New Moon Land. They would tell the world that New Moon Land was not a lowly Normal Human Subspecies, that New Moon Land was not a cowardly race!

This fighting spirit swept over every city in the entire New Moon Land. Protecting New Moon Land was no longer just the responsibility of New Moon Palace. All wandering soul pet trainers, training soul pet trainers and solo soul pet trainers, as long as their hearts belonged to New Moon Land, they would be willing to stand on those strongholds and fight against those greedy major factions.

New Moon Land had not experienced any war after independence.

Would the Normal Human Subspecies living in New Moon Land really be the dystopian Normal Human Subspecies in the past?

A war would be the best proof!

......

......

In an ocean region far away, an island wrapped in fog appeared on the ocean surface. It was mysterious and hazy.

Heavenly Realm Forest, in between tree branches that connected into roads, a black figure trailing a white-feathered tail was agility running. It was extremely fast, running from one end of the forest to another end in a blink of an eye.

“Huhuhuhu~!”

Raging wind battered Chu Mu’s clothes. He sat on Night’s back and experienced the thrill of extreme speed. That feeling opened all the pores on his skin.

On Chu Mu’s back, Ning Maner’s tender arms hugged Chu Mu’s waist. She leaned her cheek on Chu Mu’s back and produced bell-like giggles. It seemed that she really liked the feeling of dashing through the forest.

Night had been running all the time. Demonic Mound’s Heavenly Realm Forest was vast. And what Night had to do was to run one round around the forest!

“Big brother, Night is so fast, many times faster than before!” said Ning Maner.

“It can be even faster!” Chu Mu knew Night’s strength. Its speed could keep accelerating. When it was at its fastest, the surrounding trees would be uprooted by the wind pressure if he unleashed the wind barrier around them!

Night had become stronger.

Elder Li’s medicine not only removed the corpsification of Night, it also completely stimulated Night’s Nomadic Demon bloodline. Night began rapidly absorbing demon aura in Heavenly Realm. Its strength had far surpassed middle class Immortal rank, once again taking the lead amongst all of Chu Mu’s soul pets.

“Wuwuwu~!”

Little Mo Xie slouched on Night’s head, the gushing wind rustled its fur comfortably. However, the cry it made was not of comfort, but with a little grudge.

Night had been growing stronger and overtaken it quite a bit. Meanwhile, Chu Mu had been in the ocean all this time. Mo Xie had nothing to do other than sleeping in its soul pet space. Its level had not gone up at all.

If it could stay in this Demonic Mound with Night, its strength would probably be at middle class Immortal rank by now instead of wandering around low class Immortal rank.

Other than Night and Little Hidden Dragon, those possessing middle class Immortal rank included Ning and Zhan Ye.

After Ning took in Extreme Sky Ice Beast’s soul crystal, it reached middle class Immortal rank without any accident.

Meanwhile, Zhan Ye received special care by Ning Maner’s Immortal aura and also reached middle class Immortal rank.

In the few months of training in Demonic Mound’s Heavenly Realm, Chu Mu put most of his attention on Zhan Ye. This also made Zhan Ye approach middle class Immortal rank.

If Zhan Ye reached middle class Immortal rank, fighting solo against that Seven Headed Hydra King would not be a problem at all.

Ning Maner’s Immortal Aura nurturing also took time to settle in. The accumulation of Immortal Aura this time would not be less than the last time Dead Dream executed Nirvana Rebirth, so it naturally took a longer time.

Speaking of which, Chu Mu was also wondering why had Dead Dream still not awakened? It had been such a long time.
