1129: Chapter 172, Crossroads_3 1129: Chapter 172, Crossroads_3 The key lies in the realm breakthrough, as long as a breakthrough is achieved, energy replenishment can be completed very quickly.

“Master, we have succeeded halfway.

Thankfully, the supplies you prepared for us were sufficient, allowing us to survive the lightning tribulation.

It was just the Ghost Ship that has completed its ascension, the three of us still need to comprehend the Law to ascend to the Sanctuary.

However, with the Ghost Ship’s assistance, our speed of comprehending the Law will be much faster than that of ordinary people, and it shouldn’t take too much time.”

The response from the Ghost King put Hudson’s anxious heart at ease.

As long as the Ghost Ship had broken through, he wasn’t in a hurry for the ghosts aboard.

Ghost Ships have always been known for their sturdiness, and one at the Sanctuary Level could already be immune to most attacks.

Bullying the weak is simply too suitable.

Aside from Strongmen of Sanctuary Level who could pose a threat, it was no easy task for various nations’ navies to eradicate them.

Even instigating a little bit of hatred isn’t a big deal.

After all, if a ghost died it could be revived, to exhaust them to death, one first had to see if they could afford the endurance.

“In that case, you should first repair the warship!

Strive to comprehend the Law at the earliest opportunity.

For a short time, you won’t be assigned any combat tasks.

Now that you are in a weakened state, you must be extremely cautious, especially when the thick fog disperses.

Should you detect unfavorable circumstances, you may first retreat to the open sea.”

Humans’ understanding of the sea was very limited, and unexplored strange sea areas were often seen as forbidden zones by everyone.

Those who dare to venture in exploration start as brave warriors, but before long, they turn into martyrs.

Harsh weather, Magical Beasts, the Sea Race…

all of these are enemies.

To venture deep into the high seas, unless shipbuilding technology makes further breakthroughs capable of withstanding all kinds of trials.

Like the recent extreme weather changes, storms mixed with wind blades can quickly shred ordinary ships to pieces.

Only a few warships equipped with Magic Formations could resist, but they too couldn’t avoid damage to the hull.

The most troublesome aspect is the cost.

Activating the Magic Formation once consumes hundreds of Demon Crystals.

Persist a bit longer, and the expense rises to tens of thousands of Gold Coins.

Such a gold-devouring behemoth, used for ocean exploration, really burns through money.

In case of an accident, the loss would be even greater.

Unless it’s true love, people would think twice before acting.

However, the risk only pertains to ordinary Humans, while a creature like the Ghost Ship is always the risk for others.

…

After a round of slaughter, the competition among the Royal Families of the Orc Prairie was reaching a critical moment.

“The three of us can’t go on like this!

The scale of the war is escalating, and countless Middle and Small-Sized Species without the qualifications to compete are now being drawn into it.

Within just half a year, millions of Orcs have died in this internecine struggle.

This is the lifeblood of the Empire.

If we don’t take measures now and allow them to continue this species slaughter, I fear many Species might disappear from the Continent.

For the future of the Empire, I propose that we jointly issue a declaration: The Royal Family competition must not involve other unrelated Species, and those not participating in the competition are prohibited from appearing on the battlefield!” said the worried Silver Moon Wolf Emperor.

The original plan was to dangle the Royal position to incite the big Strong Species to fight one another, thereby consolidating their Royal status.

No one anticipated that the situation would change in the midst of battle.

Originally, the competing Species were supposed to fight to the death, but one by one they began to form alliances.

Many times, two competing Species would start a battle, and suddenly nearby neutral Species would be wiped out.

Once or twice could be an accident, but as it happened more frequently, the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor realized something was amiss.

This wasn’t internecine warfare at all; it was clearly an excuse to expand their power, a show performed for the Four Royal Families.

Realizing the issue and looking back, the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor found, regrettably, that his family was already powerless to intervene.

The allied clans, though collectively not as strong as those of the Royal Households, were not soft targets that they could just toy with as they pleased.

Without a doubt, this type of secret colluding was absolutely unacceptable by the Four Royal Families.

“Agreed!

I fully support the Wolf King’s suggestion.

These Species are too brazen.

If we don’t act, they might soon forget who the real masters of the Prairie are.

Just issuing a declaration is not enough; we must also stoke the flames, and force them to really fight each other.

I suggest holding a tournament for the Royal Families.

Any Species that wishes to compete can register.

The competition will be held in Legion battles.

We’ll define an area where competing Species can send their Elite Legions to hunt down opponents.

The Species with the highest achievements will become the new Royal Family!” the Hawkman Emperor said coldly.

The Hawkman Clan was known as the weakest among the Four Royal Families in terms of combat power.

If it weren’t for the fact that they had wiped out all the Species capable of flying, their status would not be so stable.

Still, this world is ultimately one of survival of the fittest.

Some Species close in strength to the Hawkman Clan no longer took them seriously.

Don’t obey, then be destroyed!

In the face of Species interests, even the Empire had to make way.

Those strong combatant Species that could threaten their Royal status must be suppressed.

Deciding the Royal Family through Legion battles was essentially forcing the powerful Species to fight each other.

Even if they emerged victorious, their strength would be greatly diminished.

Even if they succeeded in becoming a Royal Family, they would not likely hold much sway within the Empire.

“Hawkman King, none of those in power are fools.

If we do this, the backlash could be tremendous.

The more we press, the stronger their resistance will be.

It’s possible that all the clans will object and refuse to participate in this event…”

The Bearman Emperor was cut off mid-sentence by the Hawkman Emperor, “Bear Emperor, what’s there to fear!

With so many Species, there will always be those willing to cooperate with us.

With only one vacant Royal position, they must engage in battle if they wish to ascend.

If any Species refuse to participate, then we’ll just disqualify them and mark them for suppression.

Take the opportunity to join forces with our four families, and annihilate them in one fell swoop, a perfect example to scare the others!”
