Chapter 729: Chapter 477: Redeeming [Pale Spring], Military Merit Promotion!

Yang Boyue pondered for a moment. "Fine, but any participants at the Bronze Lower Rank will require a team of five or more, or they must act with an instructor."

"Yes, sir."

With the order issued, alarms rang out across all military academy bases in Beast Fighting City.

WEE-WOO! WEE-WOO!

The sudden alarm stunned all the students. They instinctively looked toward the command center in Beast Fighting City, exchanging confused glances, unsure of what had happened. Having been in the Fierce Beast Mountain Range for so long, this was the first time they had ever heard such an urgent alarm.

"Attention, everyone! We have received an emergency notice that Demon Worshippers have infiltrated and are hiding deep within the Fierce Beast Mountain Range. A large-scale search operation will be conducted over the next half-month."

"All students below the Bronze Tier are to remain at their military academy bases and refrain from hunting outside. Await further notice."

"What? Members of the Demon Worship Sect have infiltrated here?" Immediately, the military academy bases fell into an uproar.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

At Dragon City Military Academy, just as the students in the plaza were growing flustered, five figures shot out. They were instructors clad in Combat Professional gear, their bodies surging with Bronze Battle Qi. In just a few breaths, they charged out of the base, rushing at an astounding speed toward the depths of the Fierce Beast Mountain Range like five war chariots thundering across the land.

"It’s Instructor Wang! They’re heading into the Fierce Beast Mountain Range!"

"It seems that notice was indeed extremely urgent."

At the same time, many students active on the perimeter of the Fierce Beast Mountain Range received signals to return to their bases.

BOOM!

In the military bases to the rear, massive airships took to the sky. These communication vessels were even larger than the transport Fang Zhou had once ridden and boasted a fantastical design. With a roar, they urgently lifted off and disappeared into the sky.

「At the confluence of multiple worlds.」

Several demonic shadows stood towering.

Around them, tangible black Demonic Qi rolled wildly, exuding a terrifying aura that even the Space Wrinkles could not bear.

At this moment, a sinister, eerie voice sounded, reverberating through the Void. "The squad that infiltrated the Elf Canyon of the Purple Iris Alliance just reported that their movements have been discovered by the human race."

Another voice buzzed, "Currently, five out of thirty squads have successfully entered the world-intersection space of Blue Star. The other twenty-five perished in the cosmic tide."

"Pay them no mind. The ones who died were just Demon Servants without potential or value. This was only a test, mainly to gather intelligence on the Human Alliance’s internal defense forces and reaction speed. Any tactical gains are irrelevant."

"Now that our movements are exposed, let’s act ahead of schedule. Killing some of the human race’s newer generation would be a fine result."

"Agreed!"

"Agreed!"

「Deep within the Fierce Beast Mountain Range.」

Among the thirty-odd experts of the Demon Worship Sect, some were meditating cross-legged, while others were hunting the Fierce Beasts in the mountains to absorb their blood and flesh and heal their injuries.

After more than ten days, their external wounds had healed.

As elite Demon Descendants of the Bronze Upper Tier, their combat power remained exceptionally strong, even though their Tier was suppressed to Bronze Middle. Each of them emanated a powerful aura and Energy Fluctuations.

At the mountain peak, the Six-armed Snake Demon Azklos stood with its hands behind its back, its gaze cold.

It’s been half a day, and the Shadow Demon I sent to stand guard hasn’t sent back any signal. What happened?

Just then, cracks appeared on a purple token at Azklos’s waist.

SNAP!

As the Crystal Token shattered, a thick purple smoke billowed out, twisting in the air to form a Desecration Rune.

Azklos’s eyes narrowed as it reached out to touch the Desecration Rune. Instantly, information from beyond the World Barrier flooded its mind.

It frowned slightly. Act now?

The order it had previously received from its Lord was to lie in wait for half a month, recovering its strength while waiting for other infiltrating squads to arrive so they could act simultaneously. Unexpectedly, the Lord from beyond the World Barrier had transmitted the command to proceed before the scheduled time.

BOOM!

Demonic Qi erupted from Azklos’s body, instantly startling all the Demon Worship Sect members behind it.

At this moment, Azklos’s aura had already returned to the fearsome level of the Bronze Upper Tier. The reason for this was a gift at its waist from the Space Demon Lord. It contained precious resources that enabled it to slightly break free from the World Barrier’s suppression.

However, the container was small and couldn’t carry many resources. After using them up, Azklos’s strength had only recovered to the Bronze Upper Tier, far from its peak state.

Still, even at just the Bronze Upper Tier, it was confident it could roam freely across this mountain range. Unless it was surrounded by more than ten human Bronze Professionals, killing those ’geniuses’ with its current strength would be as simple as crushing an Abyssal Worm.

In a matter of days, it could kill dozens, or even a hundred, talented human Professionals. It could then return through the passage before the Human Alliance Army bases in the rear had time to react, guaranteeing a large reward.

A perfect plan!

Soon, thirty-six followers of the Demon Worship Sect had gathered.

Gazing at Azklos, who now emanated a terrifying Demon Power, Qin Hui respectfully asked, "My Lord, what instructions do you have for us?"

Azklos’s gaze was indifferent as it scanned the Demon Worship Sect followers. It spoke in a low voice, "After recuperating for a few days, a good portion of my strength has returned, so I’ve decided not to wait any longer."

"According to our intelligence, there are many talented human Professionals training in this mountain range, most of them between the Black Iron and Bronze Tiers."

"Additionally, signals cannot be transmitted here, making it an excellent hunting ground. We don’t need to worry about being quickly discovered by the human bases outside."

"You have ten days. Kill as many as you can.

"Ten days from now, gather back here to depart. Understand?"
