Divine-level Base-Chapter 103 - 102: Order

Spirit Mirror City Command Headquarters.

Behind a desk sat a burly, middle-aged man. A claw mark scarred his face, and he radiated a fierce aura. This was Admiral An Sheng, the man who commanded Spirit Mirror City’s fifty-thousand-strong army.

A young military officer was rapidly reporting the details of the siege against the teachers and students of Shuijing High School.

"They actually dare to besiege the prodigies of our Shuijing City! These wolf cubs have some nerve!"

A vicious glint flashed in Admiral An Sheng’s eyes as an astonishing killing intent erupted from his body. He was the one who had slaughtered countless Void Demons, using their piled-up bones as a stepping stone to rise from the Lower Class to his current rank. Between him and the Void Demons was a deep-seated, irreconcilable blood feud.

Murderous intent flickered in Admiral An Sheng’s eyes. He stood up abruptly and barked, "Relay my orders! The 315th and 318th Divisions are to assemble immediately. I will personally lead the hunt!"

"Admiral, wait!"

Just then, a chief of staff walked in. He had short brown hair, handsome features, and wore gold-rimmed glasses, giving him a scholarly and gentle appearance.

Admiral An Sheng frowned slightly. "Chief of Staff Chen, what is it? Spit it out!"

Chief of Staff Chen handed a document to Admiral An Sheng. "We have orders from military command. You are to immediately lead the 315th and 317th Divisions to attack this location!"

"What? Why now, of all times?"

Admiral An Sheng took the document and glanced at it. His expression changed drastically. He clenched his jaw, his eyes practically spitting fire. He slammed the document down and glared coldly at Chief of Staff Chen, enunciating each word. "Do you have any idea that all nine Celestial Pride Classes from this year’s Shuijing High School are surrounded by those damn wolf cubs?"

"I know!"

Chief of Staff Chen gave a bitter smile. "Admiral, these are orders from military command! We have to consider the bigger picture! If you go to save the students from Shuijing High School and this operation fails, there’s no telling how many of our comrades we’ll lose. Besides, these are direct orders. If you defy them, it’s not just you; all the men will face a military tribunal."

Admiral An Sheng squeezed his eyes shut, seeming to age several years in an instant. He spat a thick glob of phlegm onto the ground and cursed, "Those goddamn bastards!"

Admiral An Sheng could already smell the thick stench of conspiracy, but he couldn’t refuse this order. The students of the Celestial Pride Class are important, but to a soldier, his comrades and victory in a major battle are even more so.

A look of resolve flashed in Admiral An Sheng’s eyes. He said in a low voice, "The 315th and 317th Divisions will assemble immediately! Prepare for battle. [Black Eagle], mobilize at once. Assess the situation and proceed with the rescue."

Chief of Staff Chen’s expression changed slightly. "Admiral, [Black Eagle] is your Personal Guard. How can you send them out?"

[Black Eagle] was Admiral An Sheng’s most elite unit of Extraordinary Personal Guards. Every member possessed the cultivation of a Great Spirit Master Level. There were only thirty of them, and they were Admiral An Sheng’s shield and his sharp sword. As long as [Black Eagle] was with him, no matter how perilous the situation, Admiral An Sheng’s chances of survival would increase.

"This is a battle of annihilation, and we have the advantage. [Black Eagle] won’t be of much use here. Those kids from the Celestial Pride Class are the future of our Qianyuan Republic. If possible, we should save as many as we can!"

Admiral An Sheng let out a soft sigh, picked up a hat, put it on, and strode outside.

Chief of Staff Chen followed silently.

Before long, two elite divisions, armed to the teeth, sped out of Spirit Mirror City, heading in the complete opposite direction of Tando City.

Not long after Shu Feng’s party left Tando City, a group of mysterious, black-robed experts entered the city and began to search it.

「Before a purple grassland in the Erosion Realm.」

A Black Dog Illusion Demon cautiously stepped into the prairie covered in purple grass.

The moment the Black Dog Illusion Demon was fully inside the purple grassland, the countless purple blades of grass suddenly shot out, piercing its body like innumerable sharp blades. They sliced the Black Dog Illusion Demon into countless pieces, which scattered across the ground.

"This grassland is dangerous!"

Shu Feng’s party arrived at the purple grassland. Staring at the seemingly endless sea of purple grass, a look of dread appeared in everyone’s eyes.

Shu Feng frowned slightly. "Do we have to cross this purple grassland?"

Zhao Zixing said, "If we don’t cross this grassland, we’ll have to go through a swamp. My feeling is that the swamp is more than ten times as dangerous as this place. If we avoid both, we’ll deviate from the main path and have to take an unknown road."

Shu Feng said, "Zhao Zixing, try setting it on fire!"

Qi Ning’s willow-like brows knitted together as she snapped, "Shu Feng, is that any way to speak to the Young Miss? Watch your tone!"

"Qi Ning, shut up!"

Zhao Zixing’s brows shot up. With a soft cry, her Spiritual Power surged. Her black hair flew about as countless flames churned, and a Flaming Great Serpent flew from behind her, plunging into the patch of purple grass.

Many of the purple grasses were instantly ignited. They twisted their bodies and let out a series of incredibly strange shrieks.

Wisps of purple smoke rose from the burning grass. Zhao Zixing’s Flaming Great Serpent only managed to burn a small patch of the grass to ash before it was extinguished.

Zhao Zixing’s pretty face paled slightly. "It’s no good! It won’t catch! This purple grass is very strange; it’s hard to burn on a large scale!"

Ma Yu pointed toward the clusters of purple grass. "Hey! I think we’re in trouble!"

The clusters of purple grass seemed to possess intelligence. They twisted their bodies and locked onto Zhao Zixing.

The next moment, the purple grasses bent back slightly before their tips shot out, flying toward Zhao Zixing like a volley of countless sharp blades.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

A series of crisp clangs rang out as the ten Kings of Goblins, holding giant shields made of a Gold-laced alloy, blocked the countless grass tips.

As if enraged, in the center of the purple thicket, countless grasses intertwined. Vine-like tendrils pulled themselves from the earth and tangled together, forming a bizarre, tiger-like monster that was ten meters long and covered in innumerable tentacles.

"Not good! Let’s fall back!"

Shu Feng’s face fell as he looked at the purple grass monster, and he shouted an order.

Generally speaking, the strength of the various monsters in the Erosion Realm was directly proportional to their size. A small monster wasn’t necessarily weak, but a large monster was never weak.

Everyone reacted quickly, fleeing down the other, unknown path. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

With a thought, Shu Feng had two Black Dog Illusion Demons immediately gallop along the edge of the purple grass from two different directions, howling loudly to provoke the monster formed from the coalesced grass.

Countless bizarre, sword-like blades of grass shot out from the monster’s body, viciously stabbing toward one of the Black Dog Illusion Demons. They pierced through the demon’s body in an instant, then tore it to shreds.
