Chapter 499: Chapter 499: Three Hundred Kilometers

Xiao Zhan looked at the images of the Secret Realm on the screen, not saying anything.

He just felt something was odd.

Why had the Secret Realm appeared so frequently recently?

And such a large one at that.

In the past, a Secret Realm of this magnitude would appear at most once a year, but this year, in less than a month, two had already appeared consecutively.

Xiao Zhan had a bad feeling.

But he couldn’t pinpoint where this unease was coming from; he could only describe it as an intuition. Yet upon further deliberation, he felt this intuition didn’t seem merely instinctual; it felt more like an objective sensation.

Intuition and objectivity?

But those are inherently contradictory.

He was even more confused.

At that moment, the image on the screen suddenly flashed, and everyone instinctively looked over.

Two people appeared in what was previously a calm scene.

Dressed in white camouflage combat uniforms, a man and a woman, each holding a gun-type weapon, and a drone flying above their heads.

Upon seeing these two individuals, the image abruptly stopped, and Ye Wudi’s dispatched scouts also halted.

Both sides saw each other, and almost simultaneously, they raised their guns and aimed at each other!

Ye Wudi, seeing this, couldn’t help but become extremely puzzled, "What’s going on? How could Northern Bear Federation people appear here; they are at least fifty thousand miles away from us!"

After the confusion, Ye Wudi’s expression changed, and he immediately anticipated what was about to happen.

He immediately issued an order.

"Listen to my command, the Third Legion to speed towards the Secret Realm, bring all combat gear!"

"Yes!"

With the issuance of the order, the Third Legion swiftly mobilized like a well-oiled machine, organizing their equipment and quickly heading towards the Secret Realm.

Following that, Ye Wudi immediately stood up and took a car, rushing towards the Secret Realm with the highest speed.

"Why such a hurry, is something going to happen?" Xiao Zhan followed him, asking as they moved.

Ye Wudi explained, "I don’t know how the Northern Bear Federation appeared in this Secret Realm, but according to international rules, a Secret Realm that appears in our jurisdiction must belong to us."

"Their presence inside amounts to an infringement of our sovereignty, and we must take it back!"

Xiao Zhan understood.

This meant war was imminent.

A war with the Northern Bear Federation, but how could that even begin?

Xiao Zhan was puzzled.

The current borders of the Longxia Federation had long since changed from the ancient Yuan era, between the two federations lay the vast Northern Snow Domain spanning nearly ten thousand miles!

Moreover, the Northern Snow Domain was full of Demon Beasts, perpetually covered in heavy snow, and electronic devices would malfunction once inside.

Given the distance of ten thousand miles and such treacherous terrain, the two federations had no reason for conflicts, how could a war even be possible?

But then again, how did those two individuals from the Northern Bear Federation appear in the Secret Realm?

The Secret Realm was merely three hundred kilometers from Northern City and had appeared recently; almost immediately, Ye Wudi had sent people to scout.

Even if Northern Bear Federation dispatched their people at the same time, they couldn’t make it in time.

Could it be teleportation?

Xiao Zhan just couldn’t figure it out.

But he didn’t need to think about it anymore because they were about to reach the Secret Realm, and the answer would be known soon.

...

Meanwhile.

Northern Bear Federation, Lindong City.

Military Headquarters!

The highest Commander, Christopher, was jolted when two Longxia soldiers suddenly appeared on the screen.

"What’s going on, why are there people from the Longxia Federation in the Secret Realm?"

He looked at the map, reconfirming that the Secret Realm was only 300 kilometers away from the border of Lindong City, and he immediately sensed something off.

"Quickly, issue the order right now, have the First Legion prepare for combat, and head out to the Secret Realm at full speed!"

"Yes!"

Christopher made the same judgment as Ye Wudi.

Thousands of kilometers apart, yet they appeared in the Secret Realm at the same time, he couldn’t help but suspect that the Longxia Federation had found a way to traverse the Northern Snow Domain.

If that was the case, he had to stop them!

Soon, both armies set off.

The distance of 300 kilometers, although snowy, took less than half an hour, and Xiao Zhan, Ye Wudi, and others arrived first.

When they arrived, soldiers from both sides were in a standoff, neither daring to make a rash move.

When Ye Wudi walked up to his soldiers and was about to speak, he saw a familiar figure emerge from behind the opposing soldiers.

"Christopher?"

"Ye Wudi?"

Both exclaimed simultaneously.

People who rarely meet once in eight hundred years, and they encountered each other here?

Amid their surprise, both quickly became wary.

They both knew what the other was here for!

"Christopher, why are you intruding into our Federation’s Secret Realm?" Ye Wudi took the initiative to question first.

Christopher wasn’t fooled by his words, instead, he sneered, "Your Secret Realm? Ye Wudi, God gave you a mouth, not for you to spout nonsense. This is clearly my Northern Bear Federation’s Secret Realm!"

"God? God won’t intervene here!"

Ye Wudi knew that today wouldn’t end amicably.

He looked behind Christopher, guessing whether Christopher had brought his troops here; if he had, the situation would become even more delicate.

At this point, contesting for the ownership of the Secret Realm was a minor issue.

Understanding how the opponent got in was the real matter.

The two Federations never previously worried about a border war, and their armies mainly defended against Demon Beast attacks. But now, with this confrontational situation face-to-face, they had to guard against the rival’s ambition.

Christopher was also quietly sizing up behind Ye Wudi, he too worried about this.

Arriving so effortlessly outside the border wasn’t a good sign.

"Christopher, coming all this way must have been tiring, right?" Ye Wudi asked tentatively.

He needed to assess how Christopher had managed to get here.

Christopher observed Ye Wudi’s unflustered appearance and felt slightly tense.

Yet he casually remarked, "Look at me, no panting, no racing heartbeat, do I look like I’ve exerted much effort?"

Indeed not.

Ye Wudi’s heart tensed up, wondering if the Northern Bear Federation really had figured out a method to cross the Northern Snow Domain?

If that was the case, Northern City would soon be at a disadvantage.

Both thought this, and for a moment, the atmosphere dipped into silence.

It was difficult to start a conversation.

After a while, troops from both sides gradually arrived.

Seeing the opponent’s aggressive appearance, the atmosphere once again turned tense.
