Chapter 804 - 804 60 Nurturing Life Within Stabilizing Elves Outside_2

804: Chapter 60: Nurturing Life Within, Stabilizing Elves Outside_2 804: Chapter 60: Nurturing Life Within, Stabilizing Elves Outside_2 Governor Piers laughed heartily.

Without High-order Magical Beast upgrading, these aberrant creatures’ only limitation is their low capacity for biological power.

If a race of high-order magical beasts ever broke through their own reproductive constraints, allowing them to reproduce in batches, they could quickly supplant the Human Race as the new dominators of the continent.

The brief conversation helped to ease the tension at the headquarters.

“Pass the order, let the magic shooters, Magic Crystal Cannons, and catapults in the city aim at the horde for free shooting,”

Hudson smoothly issued the command.

There was no need to continue hiding; the enemy was Magical Beasts who didn’t understand military tactics anyway.

The fight had to kill the opponent, or else they would be killed by them.

The world of Magical Beasts was this brutally simple.

The thunderous sound of cannon fire erupted, significantly reducing the pressure of defending the city.

Faced with the defenders’ long-range attacks, the Magical Beasts also launched a magical counterattack.

But these dimwits clearly didn’t know how to coordinate.

Their own beasts’ magic frequently collided in mid-air, exploding before even reaching the city.

This caused the launched magical counterattacks to inflict indiscriminate damage on both friends and foes.

After some hot-tempered Magical Beasts were mistakenly hit, they even retaliated against their allies with a critical strike.

The chaos on the field left Hudson astounded.

He highly doubted that, if not for the three high-order Magical Beasts continually maintaining order, the horde outside could potentially start fighting amongst themselves.

In theory, launching a counterattack and merely stalling those three high-order Magical Beasts should lead to the leaderless horde quickly collapsing.

Unfortunately, like Master Hudson the Dragon Knight, these big shots were overly cautious, bereft of any intention to snatch the chestnuts from the fire.

Others were eager but powerless.

The nobles from the Southeastern Province were still lacking in high-end power.

From the intelligence Hudson had, there were quite a few Sorcerers and Earth Knights in the province, but there was a gap at the more advanced levels of Great Sorcerers and Sky Knights.

Whether this was a true gap or the Dalton Clan was hiding their high-end power was unknown as such high-level experts had never been seen.

From the power system comparison, Sorcerers and Earth Knights matched up against seventh-order magical beasts.

Outside there was just one eighth-order Magical Beast and two seventh-order ones; gathering a dozen high-level masters to attack them could achieve the goal as well.

Unfortunately, like Hudson, these influential figures also cherished their lives greatly.

If they were surrounded by the horde, they wouldn’t have the ability to come out unscathed.

Hudson did not issue such an offensive command, and the others tacitly did not bring it up; they all silently waited for reinforcements to arrive.

…

In the Jade Palace, news of the beast tide in the Southeastern Province had already reached the Capital.

Yet, including Caesar IV and other nobles and royal dignitaries, none could spare the attention for these “minor issues.”

Since the nobles from the Southeastern Province had not sought help, it was enough to suggest that the situation was still under control, not worth expending too much energy over.

Looking at the intelligence gathered from across the continent, Caesar IV couldn’t help but ask, “Is the continental war about to erupt this soon?”

“Your Majesty, from the data collected so far, every country is preparing for war.

Especially the Franks, who have already sent a war ultimatum to the Half-Orc Kingdom over an assassination incident involving their envoys.

Military forces are also starting to mobilize everywhere; war breaking out is just a matter of time.

The Ouprus Kingdom has also clashed with the Dwarf Race.

In recent days, over a hundred Dwarfs have had accidents in the border areas between the two countries, and seven Ouprus nobles were also killed.

The traces left at the scene point towards the other side.

Currently, both countries are busy disputing, and it’s said that there have even been two armed conflicts in the border area.

If the situation doesn’t ease, the Ouprus Kingdom, backed by the Clergy, is very likely to wage war on the Dwarf Kingdom.

The Iberia Kingdom has recently clashed with the Cannibal Tribes.

From the intelligence gathered, they are very likely to use troops against the Cannibal Kingdom again.

The Central Region is also not peaceful; the South Coast Kingdom has clashed with the Three-eyed Race; the Dante Kingdom’s tensions with the Trolls have escalated; the Black Forest Kingdom is also up against the Stone People Race.

All the mentioned conflicts are between the Human Race and several powerful Different Races; there are even more conflicts involving smaller Different Races and human countries.

All signs indicate that a new round of continental war is imminent; now it’s just a matter of who fires the first shot,” said Count Francis, looking exhausted.

Lately, the Department of Foreign Affairs has been incredibly busy.

The complex international situation, oscillating between war and peace, is exceptionally wearing.

The outbreak of a series of international conflicts forced the Department of Foreign Affairs to constantly adjust the Kingdom’s foreign policy according to the situation.

Working overtime was one thing, but the critical issue was the lack of results.

A slight misstep might still cause trouble.

While it might seem simple to support the Human Race in conflicts against Different Races, the reality was brutal.

Pledging support wasn’t just about vocal endorsements but required tangible actions.

Once the continental war erupted, no one could remain unscathed.

While the Alpha Kingdom seemed to have no nearby Different Races, the Northern Continent was where Different Races’ forces were strongest.

If war were to break out, they would face even greater pressure than these involved countries.

After all, they were all prepared, ready to initiate wars externally; a victory would mean vast lands and riches pouring in.
