Chapter 2211: Chapter 2211: The Decisive Battle to Destroy the Central Region
The seal left by Du You directly demonstrated his strength to a certain extent.
The Flame Saint could sense Du You’s danger from the seal, so this matter wasn’t something he could solve alone. "You must organize the army immediately; it might be needed at any moment."
A new Saint, and such an aggressive one, directly occupied four surrounding areas. If each area could give birth to one Saint, then together with the previous three, the other side would have four in total.
If every one of them is this powerful, four united together would be an even greater threat than our five.
So, this can’t continue, other people must be notified. If I contact them personally, it would be far more convenient than the clergy. After all, the priests’ status is far too low in comparison.
In their eyes, unless one reaches the ninth tier, there’s no difference from ants.
Thus, the Flame Saint issued the command and then went to find others. When the Flame Saint took action, the other ninth-tier Saints, who were always monitoring them, sensed it immediately. Before the Flame Saint even arrived, they were already awake and flew out of their resting places directly.
"It’s you, what are you doing here? Do you think you can defeat me?"
"Cold Ice Saint, I’m not here to fight you; the situation has changed drastically. If we continue to fight, the consequences would be unimaginable." The words of the Flame Saint surprised the Cold Ice Saint.
All along, their relationship had been the worst, because one was flame, the other ice; they were naturally opposing attributes. During battles, they always had the worst feelings towards each other.
The other Rageblood Saint, being a warrior, didn’t harbor such animosity toward them.
From ancient times, two saints existed: one was the Sky Saint, and the other was the Earth Saint. These two didn’t belong to the elemental type like they do now, possessing more control. The Sky Saint controlled various weather changes, could manipulate wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, merging with their own power to become a terrifying destructive force.
The Earth Saint could control the power of the earth, unmatched in defense. They could also release lava to accommodate their strength, making their combat prowess terrifying. In terms of combat strength alone, those two were stronger than the three newly birthed Saints.
But with the blessing of the Holy City, and facing these two Saints from ancient times, they were also united against them. Thus, they could suppress them all along, rendering them unable to surface.
Now, these Saints, who had poor relations, needed to unite against the newborn Saints. Honestly, it was very discomforting for them.
The Flame Saint didn’t plan to stay for long and quickly related the situation.
"I will thoroughly investigate your intelligence. If it’s truly as you say, then those new Saints need to be beaten back." After all, that’s how they once suppressed the older generation.
If the new generation suppressed them, it would be bad news. They didn’t want to end up like those two from ancient times, forever stuck at their current level without further progress.
With the blessing of the Holy City, although their strengths increased very slowly, they were still growing.
Meanwhile, Du You also began dispatching troops, pressing toward the central core area.
"Your Majesty, isn’t this a bit too hasty? After all, that area is the core region; it’s not something we can handle casually," a local strongman cautioned Du You, who had always been steady and cautious, now seemed overly eager.
Du You calmly responded, "I don’t want to rush either, but it’s unavoidable. As you can see, the people from the core area have already come; we can say that we’ve torn our masks off."
Indeed, if they don’t want to lose their interests and entirely submit to those people, they have no choice but to confront them. Besides, knowing Du You’s strength, they will inevitably fight. There’s simply no avoiding this; either desperately hold onto everything they have, or just give it all away. And they have the capacity to fight.
In their view, it’s impossible for ninth-tier Saints to determine life or death; no one could kill a ninth-tier Saint.
Even if they do confront, it would just be a battle to reallocate territory and establish new rules.
"They will inevitably fight us. If they strike first, they’ll invade our territory, and we’ll bear the losses. Plus, with our forces scattered around the world, it’s impossible to concentrate them quickly," Du You’s words immediately gained resonance from the others around him.
Indeed, their territory was simply too vast, entirely different from the core region.
"Therefore, we must take the initiative, surround the core area directly, and force them into a decisive battle. Even if the losses are great, they will bear them, not us."
As for the livelihood issues in the north, Du You no longer concerned himself. It would take a long time to address.
Now that they had sufficient strength, they could easily conquer the central core area and develop slowly afterward. No matter how many of those arrogant people from the central region die, it wouldn’t matter.
After all, getting those people to submit and obey was no easy task.
Only by thoroughly defeating them, making them realize how strong his power was, would they listen. Otherwise, who knew what trouble these unwilling people might cause.
The size of the problem didn’t matter, but dealing with constant annoyances would still be a headache.
With Du You’s decision, the others naturally had nothing more to say. After all, a Saint commands immense respect and reverence in this world. They only inquired out of curiosity. Of course, persuading the person above them would also be a nice achievement for many subordinates.
A large force assembled around the core area, and at this moment, Du You and the two sisters also appeared there.
How could the central core region not be aware of this move? The moment these people surrounded them, they received the news. Many in the central region were currently cursing.
In their eyes, an attack from the surrounding areas was blatant insubordination. Even at this stage, those people still couldn’t let go of their arrogance.
